" With Your Chrome Heart Shining" is one of the clues to the meaning of this tune. The song was an elegy for Neil Young's first car (which he nicknamed "Mort"), a 1948 Buick Roadmaster hearse that died in 1962 when its transmission blew in Blind River, Ontario.
🇨🇦 FYI: “”This song is actually a Tribute Song to Neil Young’s 1948 Buick Roadmaster hearse that died when its transmission blew in 1965. His car was named Mort. It talks mainly about the different travels Neil and Mort had gone through together. Them good and not so good times. The stories they shared and the wonderful memories Mort had left with Neil.”” CANADIAN ICON. 🇨🇦 This was written with Stephen Stills. and yes, his wife was Peggy. There is a fantastic video with her, Neil and others singing “Four Strong Winds” about my Province Alberta. Check it out please!!
Yes, Neil and Four Strong Winds were made for each other but he didn’t write it. I believe Ian & Sylvia did. Neil made something like $40 on his first paid gig at a young age. If I remember correctly, he then spent the entire amount, one coin at a time, playing Four Strong Winds on a juke box on that same trip.
Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful. This rendition, is so perfect. Love Neil, 🇨🇦 all day, anyway. 😍 His voice is so recognizable, and that harmonica, so Neil, telling it's part of the story. Made my day. Great reaction Harri. Thanks Harri and Daniel, Amazing as usual!!! Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
Neil's 1948 Buick Roadmaster hearse broke down in the town of Blind River Ontario, in 1962 . (or 1965) The mechanic that worked on it swears it was 1962. My mother was born in Blind River so I know the town very well. I know the long decline where he missed the shift and tore up the transmission. I know the repair shop that repaired it. The people in Blind River have some interesting stories about Neil. I am sure most are made up. He named the hearse Mort, short for Mortician. Always loved this song. He sang it at the closing ceremonies for the Olympics held in Canada. 😉🇨🇦💟🤴🇬🇧
I absolutely love this unplugged concert, a great watch on dvd. Neil is amazing live,. And you get Nicollete Larson and Astrid Young on backing vocals,. RIP Nicollette
Yes, thank you Canada. I’ll never forget him singing this song at the opening ceremony when Canada last hosted the Olympics - could have been the closing ceremony, that part I have forgotten. He looked so vibrant and at ease in that cold weather.
one of the greatest musician storytellers i've had the pleasure of seeing on several occasions. Have seen him solo with Crazy Horse and CSN&Y he has the ability to be on stage alone with his guitar and or piano and hold the audience in the palm of his hand!
One of my very favorite Neil Young songs.....Harvest Moon being the hands down favorite. I sent this song to my best friend on her birthday, we have been friends since age 12 and actually first met in fourth grade. I won't say exactly how long that is but we both listened and cried. Being So Calif. natives this is a perfect song for our friendship, because summertime was beach time, 15th street Newport Beach, Venice Beach and Huntington Beach Pier,(get me to the surf on time). We have truly been through some things together, (the sudden death of her fiance, her mom when she was only 21, the list goes on and on.) Thanks for this one Harri.
Loved your reaction ❤ my Dad was a huge Neil Young fan, and I've been bought up listening to his music. We've been to see him live 4 times, 3 in London and once in Antwerp. Such fond memories ❤️ my Dad passed away in February this year and we played this song at his funeral, it was one of his favourites!
10 years ago a concert to honor Willie Nelson was held...all star line up....Neil introduced this song to Willie by saying.." I originally wrote this about my car, but it applies to you Willie..Long May you Run!..delivered with that Neil Smirk...🤣🤣🤣
The Needle And The Damage Done is my favorite song from this Unplugged performance. There's always a bit or a lot of Danny in his performance when Neil sings about addiction. Danny Whitten RIP. Danny was Neil's rhythm guitar player. The song No More is also excellent studio, or live (acoustic).
@@Cynthia...Hope you had fun on the lake. I am sure you did. Back to the grind huh. ☹️. Heading up Friday for 2 weeks at the cabin. Very excited . 🤪👍🇨🇦
I have been a fan of Neil's since Buffalo Springfield. He is a man who follows his muse no matter what. This accounts for his many styles. An unbelievable artist and songwriter. He is a great admirer of Bob Dylan.
Neil Young has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice but songs like this make a powerful argument for getting him into the Country Music HOF, as well. Not that it could ever happen, but man, he makes me love country style music. Neil Young could slide effortlessly into any format of music. He is a songwriter's songwriter.
I came in to hear one of my favorites from Neil, and maybe pop your bubble and tell you it's about a car he had, but I find myself really liking what you heard. Shows me where your heart lies. Beautiful reaction to a retro hit from the golden times when radio was all we knew.
My all-time favorite Neil Young song. Such a beautiful song even if it just about a car. I often don't favor live versions of songs, but this one is exceptional and brings out the best in this great song.
I love this song that Steve Stills co-wrote with/for Neil Young and his hearse, With Your Chrome Heart Shining, I used to imagine Neil singing it about a motorcycle, but I read Shakey, the biography on Neil, it’s an amazing book, I got in 2005.
And I love your pop art 60’s shirt, it looks like a Peter Max painting from the 60’s, early 70’s…yes he’s married, first to the actress Carrie Snograss. His longest marriage was to pretty Pegi Young, but Neil surprised her and broke her heart in 2014, he divorced Pegi an in 2018, married his partner, Daryl Hannah & Pegi got cancer and died NYD in 2018, I think.. the chrome was on his hearse that died in 1961. Steve Stills wrote Long May You Run for Neil, who added to it, because they were young together and they played music together so fantastic ❤
This song comes from Neil Young's Unplugged album and it was the soundtrack to a transatlantic relationship which ended in a lifetime connection for me. Every song on that album evokes many warm memories!
Harri, love Neil love this song one of 100ss of his, like Dylan a story telling master of his craft. Saw him in 1973 at the Glasgow Apollo but unfortunately not one of his best performances as the crowd wanted the warm up band back on as Neil was plugging his new album at the time which was "TIME FADES AWAY " and the crowd wanted to hear the hits, eventually Neil's band left the stage and he picked up an acoustic guitar and played some oldies which turned the crowd in his favour again. Incidentally, the warm up band were THE EAGLES.
One of my favourite NY songs and there are many I love (best song ever about a car). Love both this this version with Nicolette Larsen and the original, with Stephen Stills. There are a lot of great live Neil Young performances. My two favourites are Neil playing Helpless with the Band in the Last Waltz and The Needle and the Damage Done from this same Unplugged.
I never tire of listening to Neil Young’s beautiful voice, harmonica, and acoustic guitar. It’s just an exquisite sound. Thanks to Daniel and Harri 🌺✌️
Thanks for another great video, that is Neil's sister Astrid on the left, backing vocals, and the great Nicollette Larson is the other singer, she did a good version of Neil's Lotta Love and made it into a big hit
Did anyone mention that is the lovely Nicolette Larsen backing Neil up, who Harri reacted to a couple of months ago, She of "Lotta of Love" fame which was written by Neil.
You really should hear some of his live performances, with his band Crazy Horse. You might want to check out the 1991 live version of Cortez The Killer, Hey Hey My My, or Powder finger. They're all amazing peformances.
What is this performance from? There was an episode of that show "The Wonder Years" where the dad spent the whole show having problems with the family car. He'd had this thing a long time and worked on it so much, he knew it in and out, and had apparently nursed it well past its time. It finally broke down for good stranding them late for some important event or something, and I think the family walked where they were going, leaving him there fuming and still trying to start the car. I guess he'd seen keeping it running as a fatherly duty and he had been proud of it. He finally gave in and bought a new car. The end credits played this song over a tracking shot of the old dead car being towed away...I think I teared up...Heh...
probably the only guy who could play this on the grand ole Opry, get into a plane, land in sf and destroy the Fillmore with a wall of feedback and distorted guitar.
When I was a kid I thought it was about his dog because my dog had a chrome heart ID tag on his collar. So I thought he was imagining his dog hanging out with the Beach Boys and going surfing 😆
HBO Sports broadcast a documentary in 2001 commemerating the 1980 U.S. Olympic Hockey team; and they chose this song while the closing credits ran. Even though the original song was about a motorcycle, when it played at the end of that film it really hit home for me because in the twenty years that had passed since they won the gold medal; those players who lived, worked, sweated and played together as a family for more than a year had long gone their separate ways; which was kind of sad.
Here's a new band and song to try, Teacher Teacher by Rockpile, a band featuring Nick Lowe and Dave Edmunds, who both have worthy solo material, too. A little Rockabilly for ya...
I think that might be Nicolette Larson behind him....the brunette singing backup. She had a major disco hit with "It's Gonna' Take A Lotta' Love'.....which I believe Neil Young wrote for her.
Neil is a very talented musician, singer & songwriter. He was with the groups Buffalo Springfield & Crosby, Stills & Nash in the later 60's. Also had his own group with Crazy Horse for a few years. Neil went solo & has had so many great songs over the years. The albums "After The Gold Rush" & "Harvest" from the 70's are considered 2 of his best. Love these unplugged versions of his songs.
Steven Stills and Neil Young's concert tour for the "Long May You Run" album was abruptly cut short when Young quit the tour less than a month into it. Rumor has it Young made that choice when he discovered Stills was using again. The story goes, Neil relayed his decision in a note that merely read, "Steven, long May YOU run". Btw, "Midnight On The Bay" is another fine song off that album.
Harri, this is interesting - I just watched your reaction to the Beach Boys "Caroline, No," then saw this one, in which Neil mentions the Beach Boys and Caroline - what are the chances haha!
Chrome is a metal. In Vedic Astrology it represents Rahu. Always visualising and never run out of ideas - chrome never corrodes just like Rahu never grows out of style in its thinking.
Amazing! Sounds like he dug up a song John Denver threw in the trash and may have wiped his ass with. If Bruce Springstien sounds like crap, Neil Young sounds like worse. Guess I will not be popular here. Guess I am gonna unsubscribe. Bye yall!

Correct! ….Missed that shift on the long decline….
YES, one of my favorites by Neil... I always thought it was about a motorcycle, though.. lol
could also be alot of metaphores going on
Thanks so much for that. I never associated it with a car. Makes total sense now!

Love it when folks that know the inside scoop chime in like yourself. He must have shifted to R by mistake - ouch !!
@@tcanfield Probably. Lol. He would have only been 16 in 1962. Thanks for your kind words. 👍🙃
@@danielvolk237 Congrats that Harri cited you Daniel.
Too bad you picked a Neil Young song. :-)
@@982spyder5 Thank you for your comment. 👍🙃
Yep, pretty sure he also sang it for Conan's last cable TV show, or maybe last network show, one of those
Neil Young is one of Canada's finest gifts to the world... you're welcome.
Welcome for what?
I absolutely love this unplugged concert, a great watch on dvd. Neil is amazing live,. And you get Nicollete Larson and Astrid Young on backing vocals,. RIP Nicollette
Yes, thank you Canada. I’ll never forget him singing this song at the opening ceremony when Canada last hosted the Olympics - could have been the closing ceremony, that part I have forgotten. He looked so vibrant and at ease in that cold weather.
A very prolific songwriter/musician/singer. Love Neil Young. Thanks Harri for reacting to Neil again. 👏👏🇨🇦🇨🇦
one of the greatest musician storytellers i've had the pleasure of seeing on several occasions. Have seen him solo with Crazy Horse and CSN&Y
he has the ability to be on stage alone with his guitar and or piano and hold the audience in the palm of his hand!
One of my very favorite Neil Young songs.....Harvest Moon being the hands down favorite. I sent this song to my best friend on her birthday, we have been friends since age 12 and actually first met in fourth grade. I won't say exactly how long that is but we both listened and cried.

Neil is country & rock. peace and love from Canada
And folk.
The Needle And The Damage Done is my favorite song from this Unplugged performance. There's always a bit or a lot of Danny in his performance when Neil sings about addiction. Danny Whitten RIP. Danny was Neil's rhythm guitar player. The song No More is also excellent studio, or live (acoustic).
Another GREAT song about a car. Thank You Neil Young.
You can’t go wrong with anything by Neil Young, another great Canadian singer.
You are so right. 🇨🇦😉
@@danielvolk237 How has your summer been Daniel? I’m back in Toronto now, early this year.
@@Cynthia...Hope you had fun on the lake. I am sure you did. Back to the grind huh. ☹️. Heading up Friday for 2 weeks at the cabin. Very excited . 🤪👍🇨🇦
Another sweet country inspired auditory gem from the master of this type of music, Mr. Neil Young
Long may you run, Neil
I have been a fan of Neil's since Buffalo Springfield. He is a man who follows his muse no matter what. This accounts for his many styles. An unbelievable artist and songwriter. He is a great admirer of Bob Dylan.
The song is about Mort
Neil’s 1948 hearse
He drove it from Canada to LA
The engine finally blew up
Never knew that! Thank you! ♡
Thanks ! Now I understand the line about “your chrome heart”.
@@tcanfield also “we missed that shift on the great decline”
Close, this hearse got him to Blind River Ontario....another one later on got him to LA
"Don’t Let It Bring You Down" is another Neil Young song worth checking out. Annie Lenox (and others) have covered the song. Good stuff.
Bloddy Fantastic Harri! Canadian Content at its BEST! Thanks for that me Amigo. Loveya!!
Neil Young has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice but songs like this make a powerful argument for getting him into the Country Music HOF, as well.

Memory to jfk , Caroline, etc, 1962, his car too. Listen to 'king', about his dog, another gem
Neil is the king of raw live music. Did studio work for Motown to rock to country. A real music legend.
I love this song that Steve Stills co-wrote with/for Neil Young and his hearse, With Your Chrome Heart Shining, I used to imagine Neil singing it about a motorcycle, but I read Shakey, the biography on Neil, it’s an amazing book, I got in 2005.
Thank you Canada

My favorite tune of his is Harvest Moon but this is sure a close second. Great song !

another great emotive song by the man brilliant
Way to go, Harri. Good reaction. My favorite Neil Young song!
Yes that is Nicolette Larson singing backup, they were a couple for awhile, she did sing on a lot of his songs.
One of Neil's songs (Lotta Love) was a big hit for Nicolette.
the chrome heart is pure love that never tarnishes and shines with your heart and soul it hurts but is never forgotten, long may it run!!!!!
May your chrome heart shine in the sun". A pure shininig heart.
a song about a car. fantastic

much talent!! love you Neil
you don't hear a harmonica played today..what a talent
This has a reconizable familiarity to it...Like comin home and slippin on yer favourite slipperz...Love this...awesome Harri
Not only are you the best reactor on you tube - may I say you are also the best dressed ! I'd love to have a peek at that CD collection
I never tire of listening to Neil Young’s beautiful voice, harmonica, and acoustic guitar. It’s just an exquisite sound. Thanks to Daniel and Harri 🌺✌️
His electric is way better....
@@DENVEROUTDOORMAN Well, my favorite NY song is “Powderfinger”, so…yeah!! 😁🌺✌️
Thanks for another great video, that is Neil's sister Astrid on the left, backing vocals, and the great Nicollette Larson is the other singer, she did a good version of Neil's Lotta Love and made it into a big hit
So sad that Nicolette passed away not that much longer after the video was recorded. R.I.P
Harri I love your channel. Please consider reacting to "Thrasher" by Neil Young.
Love the fact this is about his car, and he thows in the Beach Boys reference, reflecting on their hot rod songs.
Did anyone mention that is the lovely Nicolette Larsen backing Neil up, who Harri reacted to a couple of months ago, She of "Lotta of Love" fame which was written by Neil.
Down by The River is another one for you to hear.
Long may you rum is also the name of the album . Neil Young and Stephen Stills album

Felt this way about a 1996 Buick Skylark.
95 Pontiac Grand Am for me.
Love NY! I think you should explore more of his catalog, for sure!!😎👍💕
This song, obviously, goes very well with your copy of 𝘎𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘚𝘦𝘹, on top of your CD shelf, Harri! 😘
The backup singer on the left is Neil's half-sister Astrid.
The Stills/Young studio version of this is the classic. You can argue with this version though!
probably the only guy who could play this on the grand ole Opry, get into a plane, land in sf and destroy the Fillmore with a wall of feedback and distorted guitar.
Thanks for this great one Daniel ! Some of the happiest days and "memories" of my life..😉🎶🎸🎧
Thanks for your comment. Great times for sure. 👍🙃🇨🇦
great song but you should listen to" Old Man" My personal favorite song. I love your reactions and your passion for all kinds of music.
One of my favorite tunes and stories, especially about an automobile!👍🏻❤️
When I was a kid I thought it was about his dog because my dog had a chrome heart ID tag on his collar. So I thought he was imagining his dog hanging out with the Beach Boys and going surfing 😆
Daniel, you could keep submitting Neil Young songs and performances, and I wouldn't mind at all. Well done by both you and Harri!
Thanks for the nice comment. Got a lot more songs. 👍🙃🇨🇦
@@danielvolk237 Daniel, you consistently submit top-notch songs and performances. I am looking forward to 'a lot more songs'.

wow..never knew this song was about a car/Hearst he owned..You learn something everything everyday..
Harri, Look for his 80s HBO Special, Talk about a One Man Band! Amazing Show.
Here's a new band and song to try, Teacher Teacher by Rockpile, a band featuring Nick Lowe and Dave Edmunds, who both have worthy solo material, too. A little Rockabilly for ya...
I wish someone would react to midnight on the bay off this album!!
It's about a car , as a metaphor for a relationship past which became one in the same .
Check out Neil Young’s song ( Roll another number for the road ).
I think that might be Nicolette Larson behind him....the brunette singing backup. She had a major disco hit with "It's Gonna' Take A Lotta' Love'.....which I believe Neil Young wrote for her.
The album with Stills is a great album.
Like Dylan many of the singers had folk back grounds. CSNY, Joni Mitchell, John Denver, The Mamas and The Papas and so many more.
Neil is a very talented musician, singer & songwriter. He was with the groups Buffalo Springfield & Crosby, Stills & Nash in the later 60's. Also had his own group with Crazy Horse for a few years. Neil went solo & has had so many great songs over the years. The albums "After The Gold Rush" & "Harvest" from the 70's are considered 2 of his best. Love these unplugged versions of his songs.
There is a saying to say be safe and it's quote keep the shiny side up as in keep your Chrome shiny
Steven Stills and Neil Young's concert tour for the "Long May You Run" album was abruptly cut short when Young quit the tour less than a month into it. Rumor has it Young made that choice when he discovered Stills was using again. The story goes, Neil relayed his decision in a note that merely read, "Steven, long May YOU run". Btw, "Midnight On The Bay" is another fine song off that album.
The note said, “Dear Stephen, Funny how some things that start spontaneously end that way. Eat a peach, Neil.”
Always think of my Pontiac Ventura with this song (72 and 78)
Harri, this is interesting - I just watched your reaction to the Beach Boys "Caroline, No," then saw this one, in which Neil mentions the Beach Boys and Caroline - what are the chances haha!
RIP Nicolette Larson ☹️
Have you reviewed Neil Young’s Needle and the damage done?
You should really get a copy of Neils "Live Rust" album. It's Neil at his very best. You want be denied!
Anyone know if that’s Nicolette Larson singing backup?
Chrome is a metal. In Vedic Astrology it represents Rahu. Always visualising and never run out of ideas - chrome never corrodes just like Rahu never grows out of style in its thinking.
Think this is about a car
maybe he was singing about a good friend that loved cars? I'm just guessing
Dude looks like predator dropped some strawberry LSD
It's Folk...not Country... and he wrote it for his Car !!
i heard it was his childhood dog dying.
Why am I getting emotional about a car????
Nope unplugged was stupid....just play album version
Amazing! Sounds like he dug up a song John Denver threw in the trash and may have wiped his ass with. If Bruce Springstien sounds like crap, Neil Young sounds like worse. Guess I will not be popular here. Guess I am gonna unsubscribe. Bye yall!
who cares
Should not have done unplugged how stupid and rest of real album is better
