SORRY, but WTF are you talking about? 😅 Am I on the outside of some kind of "in joke?" And honestly? Is that the "weirdest thing thing about getting older?"
@@klausrain111 it's just a regular joke, overexaggerating the amount of Neil Young this user listens to as they have gotten older - to the point that it may seem that they are legally obligated to do so.
@carolinewoodward1016 It seems I was a little harsh there with my own comment.😬 It's a great point about Neil having so many well known songs but not many hits.Out of curiosity, I went to see how his songs actually did on the charts. It turns out, not surprisingly, his biggest hit on the charts was "Heart of Gold" which hit #1 on March 12, 1972. " Old Man" reached #31 on June 3rd 1972 and "Only Love Can Break Your Heart" hit #33 on Dec. 12, 1970. " Cinnamon Girl" reached #55 July 25, 1970. I found a Rolling Stone article from 2021 titled, "The 100 Greatest Neil Young Songs." They make an effort to rank them from 1 to 100. I don't know if you've read it or not, but it's interesting to compare this list with your own opinion, I think. At the beginning of this piece they quote Neil as saying, "I'd rather keep changing and lose a lot of people along the way, if that's the price, I'll pay it. I don't give a shit if my audience is a hundred or a hundred million." Classic Neil! 😂
@carolinewoodward1016 Interesting and very true what you are saying. Certain groups and artists have kind of a niche following with the Dead being the classic example. We grew up in a really special time in American culture. These poor little kids today have had to endure the lockdowns and the masks and all this craziness. We were the lucky ones, I think.
In the past two months, I have lost my grandfather (and closest friend), as well as two lovely beautiful dogs, Delilah (a childhood friend I grew up with) and Ruby (a gorgeous black lab). My family has been crushed, and my heart is in ruin. I have had many sad and sleepless nights since this has happened, but listening to Lotta Love makes me feel so wonderful. Thank you Neil, it will certainly take A LOT of love, but with you by my side, it is helping my through those nights. Long live YOUNG!
Young cracks me up, he was doing his thing in spite of the avalanche of Punk and Disco at this time. He looks comfortable as hell and did it the way he thought best. One of Canadas best exports.
Any version of this song is just fine. Nicolette Larson was a dear friend of his and sang on his records and in concert. Nobody was happier than him when she and the producer created that amazing recording. Her voice was just ridiculously good. He was neighbors with Linda Ronstandt and went over to ask her to recommend an accompanying singer and Nicolette was there. It turned out 6 people had already recommended her to him, so they jammed and worked together.
_We're all used to Larson's version as if it was of her own; however, Young's rendition - actually, his "brain child" - is pretty heartfelt as well. Both versions are equally to be extolled._ 😉😉😉
Agree with you. Its said he played it for her in his car and she liked it so much she asked if she could use it on her album. They were a couple and he said she could. Depending on who you believe he may have asked Reprise his label to delay Come a Time release date so Larsons version came out first. Ive always thought in my heart although he wrote it it became her song. Much like Van Morrison wrote Gloria but it will forever be The Shadows of Knight signature song. Just my thoughts....
Hey folks: The hit single by the late Nicolette Larson was a cover of the Neil Young song. Nicolette was a backup singer for Neil at the time and later married his drummer, Russ Kunkel. So it was all in the family :-) Rest in Peace, beautiful Nicolette.
@@42awww Of course it was a Neil song. She spent a good amount of time singing backup for him. He offered her the song as a gift. She recorded it, did a great job of it, and it was a huge hit. Nickie Larson was a lovely singer.
I saw this movie for the third time - alone - at the Alexandria Theater in San Francisco. It was the last night it would be played before something new would replace it. It was a weeknight. Did it come out in '79? There were about six of us in attendance, maybe seven. Anyway, it was all so great and then (drum roll please), whoever operated the volume of the movie really turned it up. Wow! Must have been a fan. I was 18 if it came out in '79. What a great memory, movie, artist, album, song...moment.
A genius with the expression of song and feelings. I try to write music and songs, and could not carry this man's guitar pick. A great singer, guitar player and most of all song writer.
itsmovinfast .. "there is no try, do or not" .. when it comes to art, i believe a true artist is someone so driven, he can not do without art. But try not to get intimidated by geniouses too much! :-D
@@mikeschneider1624 The amount of artists who were famous after their death is tragic, twice over! The amount that are never known beyond small circles but are still brilliant is yet another tragedy. But the biggest tragedy are those with no talent but all the connexions who we get rammed into our ears and eyes until their favours are all used up.
Neil Young is one of reasons that keep me going. He is a creative genius. Makes me believe in the beauty and pure truth of humanity, because that’s what he brings to his songs and performances. Love
What a great buried treasure. I remember when this came out. Both versions are great. What a great time to live! God bless youtube for making this and so much other great music available, when it would otherwise be gone forever.
Artists like him give us so much. Writes this beautiful song and opens his heart for us on stage - what motivates him/them? Applause? (no), Money (no). It's in his soul and he has to let it out.
It is amazing to be able to see the way Neil honed his craft so quickly and adeptly. People should concentrate on his progression as an artist and avoid gossiping about his love interests.I think that his beautiful wife Daryll Hannah would be in mutual agreement. Blessings.
People should heed the words of this song during the times that we live in. Remember when you say you love someone, there has to be action behind the words or they are just that, WORDS!!!!
Thx for this video, new to me! I saw Neil @ Ucla's Royce Hall (10th row) on acoustic guitar only in 1970 or 1971, and in 1970 with CSN & Y @ Greek theater; both wondrous performances! I would argue that Neil Young is the most prolific & best rock singer-songwriter- guitarist combination in history. He played rock, country-rock, blues, electronic music, punk/new wave recordings, spanning from Buffalo Springfield to Crazy Horse to CSN&Y and his many solo albums, makes him a legend imho. Electric guitar & acoustic. Harvest album & Weld & all the others are eternal...
how cool is it that neil young can write lyrics like this, how does he do it, song after song? it blows me away. my head needs relating, not solitude? he can capture a feeling in a line like no one else. simply stunning.
Neil is the man !! Keep on Rocking in whatever world awaits us . I wrote my grade 9 speech about Neil and his tuff upbringing and it got me a A plus so I imagine MRS. Jones Loves him too . Thanks for that Neil
The writer of the song that launched Nicolette Larson to stardom! Only fitting to hear him perform this in her honour... I am sure, just like us...We all miss Nicolette R.I.P. Thank you Neil for giving us this song that Nicolette did justice to!
@@BK-ju6rbWell, sort of. ASCAP/BMI makes sure he get's his due writer's royalty or commission, this is true...BUT...the REAL MONEY MAKER in Young/Larson venture, is by no doubt, THE PUBLISHER.

As a young man I loved this guys music. Had every album he ever made. I always felt out of place being hispanic listening to Neil. While my friends and family members were going in a different direction as it pertained to music. I would smoke a fat one and listen to Neil. It just felt so right. The guy told stories in everyone of his songs. I just related so well. Thanks Neil,
i heard neil young by the first when i were 14 and i've spent a lot time to know his lyrics and songs, but he is really amazing... a very tallented guy.... this song is a gift after the work and before to sleep...

Neil Young was known for writing Hit songs throughout his entire career only one problem I just NEVER EVER knew he wrote this number #1 SMASH!
You must have been living under a rock if you didn’t know he wrote this song.

What can I say, next Wednesday a concert in the Ziggo Dome, Amsterdam. 🙃
GR8 SONG!
I still think of Nicollete Larson, Neil write but Nicollete owned it!
Great songwriter but I believe JD Souther is better.
Grande!Absoluto!Amazing!God. .....
Neil Young’s version always makes me cry. 😢 Tears of joy. ❤
Have loved Neil Young forever and I am 67. His voice is iconic.
62 and still lovin
19 and love his music
61 madly in love
Same here on the age and he was my favorite for years .I was introduced to him through Buffalo Springfield. They were on of the best bands ever.
❤ Big fan for a long long time 🎉 moved to Mill Valley hoping to spot the legend

Hardly every heard the Larson version, and Neil's original crushes that one like a grape
Larson was a close friend of Neil Young sister, maybe because she’s sang his song
Yet Neil’s softly broken voice suits it best.
Man Neil, please take care of yourself. We need more songs like this please.
Neil, thank you for giving this song to Nicolette, she made it her own !
Very generous !
This is timeless . I'll never tire of it.
I love Neil Young so much for only 60 years. He's a good teacher about weird emotional stuff or whatever. A real brother.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
This song touches every human being!
Still remember getting after the gold rush album for Xmas as a kid never stopped listening to neil

It was written by Neil Young. She covered it. She also sang backup vocals on the Neil Young album this appears on.

Another classic hit by Neil Young😊
this isnt a competition between neil and nicolette both renditions are different and great, this is all beautiful music and different in a good way !
I hate comparisons between two great. What counts is that it is sung from the heart.
Och have some fun
What's the point of an artist to create if no one wants to at least talk about it.
How boring.
I respect Neil, but there was nothing "great" about this rendition.

How can you possibly leave out Gordon Lightfoot and Burton Cummings?

Who is listening anymore ?? love seems to be hard to find ?? let alone to be sharing with anyone real ??
Timothy Nixon yep... nobody's real anymore...
Hard to find nowadays. Lotta love for ourselves and everything will be fine.

Thank you! Its so true; more than ever!🙌
This song is still so relevant in 2021. ♥️
I don't think there is a better writer than Neil
Maybe Townes Van Zandt. Check out 'Rake'. It doesn't get any better. Although Neil's 'Will to love' is a close second.
His canadian pal, Joni Mitchell.
Lotta love for this song ! Nicolette Larson did an excellent version too ! Neil Is a brilliant musician and songwriter !

New clear version of on Neil Young Archives. Gorgeous.

@@TheRadioAteMyTV Fair point about people agreeing on everything. Think its still a cover with or without permission. All I was saying as that you need to do something special with it to improve a good original. Good to debate it so thanks for your reply
this one recently moved up to one of my favorite neil songs. something really innocent, pure, heartfelt and true about it. that chorus, man.
The magic,the music and the words. For me: A force of nature. A brilliant songwriter and a great performer. I just picked it up on my guitar. Love it!
