I'm 46 years old, a huge metal fan from Ireland. My mother was a child of the 60's huge Thin Lizzy and Neil Young fan. My influence. And here I am living in South Korea with a beer in my home listing to Niel! Life is crazy.
I thought it was pretty cool! The USA are a beacon of hope for Ukraine and the rest of (Eastern) Europeans who value liberal democracy instead of Vladimir Putin, despite all the shortcomings of American society.
First time listening as a teen, I thought it was about the horrors in some far off place while we had it good "in the Free World." Now of course I realize it's about the incidental horrors of our capitalist and allegedly democratic society delivered with bitter irony
Awesome love the beat and lyrics!!! Love Neil Young Crosby Stills Nash and Young I am 60 yrs old will never let Music influence my life or Mood again when the message is clear ! Amen
As a kid I sang along to this without a care in the world, oblivious to the meaning hidden behind the lyrics. Now at the age of seventeen, the lyrics have become my life.
There is no meaning to this song hidden behind the lyrics other then "keep on rocking in the free would" is sarcasm. This song has become your life? You're a drug addict and mother who throw your baby away in a garbage can?
1:57 When you hear "That's one more kid that will never go to school. Never get to fall in love. Never get to be cool" on the radio or in your vehicle, most don't think much of it as your very likely jamming out to the music, but when your reading the lyrics, it makes you think. You then reread the song and it's pretty fine until 1:35 "I've seen a woman in the night, with a baby in her hands, under an old street light (Near a garbage can), near a garbage can (Near a garbage can)." And it just makes you think, how and why did we end up talking about... THAT!? Maybe it's just me though
Not sure wat you're getting at "now she puts the kid away and she's gone to get a hit" She throw the baby away in the garbage can and left it for dead.
Rockin' In The Free World" There's colors on the street Red, white and blue People shufflin' their feet People sleepin' in their shoes But there's a warnin' sign on the road ahead There's a lot of people sayin' we'd be better off dead Don't feel like Satan, but I am to them So I try to forget it, any way I can. Keep on rockin' in the free world, Keep on rockin' in the free world Keep on rockin' in the free world, Keep on rockin' in the free world. I see a woman in the night With a baby in her hand Under an old street light Near a garbage can Now she puts the kid away, and she's gone to get a hit She hates her life, and what she's done to it There's one more kid that will never go to school Never get to fall in love, never get to be cool. Keep on rockin' in the free world, Keep on rockin' in the free world Keep on rockin' in the free world, Keep on rockin' in the free world. We got a thousand points of light For the homeless man We got a kinder, gentler, Machine gun hand We got department stores and toilet paper Got styrofoam boxes for the ozone layer Got a man of the people, says keep hope alive Got fuel to burn, got roads to drive. Keep on rockin' in the free world, Keep on rockin' in the free world Keep on rockin' in the free world, Keep on rockin' in the free world.
When you like Neil young and Joe Rogan, but you like Neil Young more than Joe Rogan so you’ll just keep listening to him on TH-cam cause it’s better than Spotify anyway ;)
4 free birds rocking in the free world!!! Oh im leaving new creek because its my turn to kick ass make ppl see reality. We all dont give a damn and we are creating new history!!! They dont at all see it coming that the best reward i can be honored to expose things that will motivate everyone.
Neil Young only believes in a free world when it's comfortable for him. Freedom means freedom for ALL, you don't get to pick and choose. WE STAND WITH JOE ROGAN. FREEDOM MATTERS.
@@parker8691 I know, I know everybody is gunna do something that someone doesn't like. I still stand with him over Neil or any mainstream media. To each their own.
Written during the lead up to Desert Storm, the state of affairs worldwide was in a totally different predicament. Within that period, his song had much greater resonance socially. This was 11 years before 9/11. And next year? The song will be 35 years old... Neil Young is not a hypocrite…
After 18 albums...he made one of the best rock song ever Big Up Neil 💯💥 ps: th-cam.com/play/PL5_3DG9cD7hPsJfiIoY6lPswGfb9CF3vV.html 😎My best off 80-90 ; )
@@IHateTH-camHandlesVeryMuch it is. For decades the United States was locked in a global struggle with totalitarianism in the form of the Soviet Union. Naturally, the left was on the side of the Soviet Union. Kind of how today they are on the side of China. Much to anguish and heartache of the American left, the Soviet Union collapsed, as president Reagan put it, by the weight of it's own immorality. And so Neil Young mockingly refers to the United States as the free world while dumping on the United States. I was impressed with his ability to fit every leftist cliche of the United States and the Western world at the time into the lyrics so give him half a point for effort and creativity and negative a hundred points for his tone deaf failure to recognize what was just demonstrated for him, the absolute failure of totalitarian socialism.
@@IHateTH-camHandlesVeryMuch good point, true, but the process had already began. It was more about the collapse of communist rule in central and eastern Europe. The dissolution of the Warsaw pact and the Eastern bloc. The iron curtain was starting to fall. Remember that the Berlin Wall came down in 1989. The overthrow of communism in Poland was underway. The Chauchesku regime in Romania was toppled in 1989. You are correct that it was not until 1991 that the Soviet Union was dissolved in name and the Russian federation was founded but by the time this song was released everyone knew what was going on. Obviously Neil Young and his fellow travelers did.
@@XxowendanxX Young wrote the song while on tour with his band The Restless in February 1989. He learned that a planned concert tour to the Soviet Union was not going to happen and his guitarist Frank "Poncho" Sampedro said "we'll have to keep on rockin' in the free world". The phrase struck Young, who thought it could be the hook in a song about "stuff going on with the Ayatollah and all this turmoil in the world.” He had the lyrics the next day........took me all about 2 seconds and less drivel
This is definitely not Neil Young singing. It's a good cover, but to be fair to the listeners, that important bit of info should be noted in the title. With all due respect, it feels like a bait and switch.

Much respect
imagine being some politician playing this in war torn country

Yeah Blinken, absolutely shocking.

Keep on trucking for a free world.
A non free world…
Keep it going
Awesome love the beat and lyrics!!! Love Neil Young Crosby Stills Nash and Young I am 60 yrs old will never let Music influence my life or Mood again when the message is clear ! Amen
This is the highest boomer quote ever.
Awesome sauce! This is music!!! Keep on 🎸 ing in the free 🌎! Heck yeah!!!
Love this song!!!
You can play this at my funeral every day.
How many days your funeral takes?
My daddy plays this song on 🎸
This is not a bad cover but for sure it is not Neil Young.
Great cover, for real !
What the Hell makes you think this is a cover?? This has been out for years and it is Young!!😡
Estoy tocando esta canción a la batería y es genial. Me encanta.
I’m in a band and having this song! SCHOOL OF ROCK GERMANTOWN TN
Says it all really. Love it.
Yea thanks for the lyrics.
Just painted my guitar with some of the lyrics.
Rocking in a free world!!!!
There was always something about Neil Young's lyrics, his patriotism and freedom were always mixed with awareness of the hypocrisy.
You know he is a Canadian, right? He only became a US citizen a few years ago.
My daddy plays this song on 🎸
Sounds like Adelle's Someone Like You.
Thank you for the song!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️--- true like gods herat!!!!!!
Sounds good to me. Love it.

Yes
Outstanding!!!!!
Rockin' In The Free World"
There's colors on the street
Red, white and blue
People shufflin' their feet
People sleepin' in their shoes
But there's a warnin' sign
on the road ahead
There's a lot of people sayin'
we'd be better off dead
Don't feel like Satan,
but I am to them
So I try to forget it,
any way I can.
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world.
I see a woman in the night
With a baby in her hand
Under an old street light
Near a garbage can
Now she puts the kid away,
and she's gone to get a hit
She hates her life,
and what she's done to it
There's one more kid
that will never go to school
Never get to fall in love,
never get to be cool.
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world.
We got a thousand points of light
For the homeless man
We got a kinder, gentler,
Machine gun hand
We got department stores
and toilet paper
Got styrofoam boxes
for the ozone layer
Got a man of the people,
says keep hope alive
Got fuel to burn,
got roads to drive.
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world.

This is a cool song!
Like @Corey Baker said: It's Neil Young on guitar with Pearl Jam.Why are all the comments about Neil Young?
I was LUCKY enough to see this LIVE. KINDLY. 29/51
1:57 that has to be my favorite part of the song
4 free birds rocking in the free world!!! Oh im leaving new creek because its my turn to kick ass make ppl see reality. We all dont give a damn and we are creating new history!!! They dont at all see it coming that the best reward i can be honored to expose things that will motivate everyone.
This isn't a bad cover, but putting Neil Young's name on this without saying "cover" is bullcrap.
Zimster2000 it's Neil young on guitar with Pearl jam
@@rekabyeroc1 then who the hell is singing?
Robert Cohn
Lead singer of Pearl Jam
What are you talkin about Neil Young sings this song originally if you're saying it's a cover who sings the original
Not only does it do a disservice to Neil, it also does a disservice to the band that is playing by not mentioning who they are
Good one. Keep on Rocking
Well Neil young is pretty good I like the songs of Neil young
Neil Young only believes in a free world when it's comfortable for him. Freedom means freedom for ALL, you don't get to pick and choose. WE STAND WITH JOE ROGAN. FREEDOM MATTERS.
ya joe rogan the one who bows to the mob.

Nevee heard that, have to chek it out, thanks mate.
I got cancer playing this song on my cell phone but I Keep on Rockin in the Free World.
F'n A! I don't like neil but I will admit this tune KICKS MAJOR ARSE!
this isn't neil young buddy,
ColbysCollage Who is it actually? Just curious.
it's a cover by someone, not sure. all i know it that it doesn't sound like the original
It might be Pearl Jam.
Adam Kraemer this is not Eddie
This song is played by various artists including Neil young and Pearl Jam
Someone tell neil young you can't have censorship and cancel culture in a free world, I don't think he got the memo
Ben Davis - Exactly!
Nobody censored or 'canceled' anyone.
Nice cover!!
Keep on rocking Joe Rogan!
The lyrics fade in so slowly that you can't sing along. He's already 3 words into it before you can read what comes next.
Everybody talks about some funerals...I really don't understand...this Is a song talkin' about living a life not about our death dudes
Impressive ...
OK, but NOBODY does it like Neil Young!!
musically, not so much, but a great lyric from a man of their generaltion shouting into the mililleniums babies.
Huh, what?
@@timothyjens933 I dont think he realizes the chorus is sarcastic. Lol
Way too go bud great job
Great cover, for real !
