This was my generation's music, and to this day, when I hear this song, I cry. Such an emotional tour de force, and so hauntingly beautiful.
Isn't it amazing being human. We create such fantastic expressions of art!
The best ballad that the Buffalo Springfield has done while together.
I’ve always adored this song❤
thanks for stopping by! 🙏
The song is so ethereal
I was 14 years old when this song was released. I was already an experienced in orchestra, and rock music, and a big fan of Buffalo Springfield. I was totally blown away by this song as it provoked such an all encompassing sound, and strong chilling feel.
I didn't learn this until much later that Expecting to Fly was written, and recorded exclusively by Neil Young, using the top studio musicians of the era, without Any input from the other members of Buffalo Springfield, which engenders more respect for Neil Young as an solo artist from me. I send a special shout out here to Jack Nitzsche, who did all of the orchestral arrangements, and electric piano, Carol Kaye played bass guitar, and Jim Gordon on Drums.
One of the greatest neil young songs
This is one of my favorite Neil songs. Just beautiful. Goosebumps every time. I love Neil.
The late 60's was a time of great musical experimentation. The Beatles lead the way ofcourse and all the new bands like The Springfield were creatively free to explore unlimited musical directions. Another great band that explored life in music was The Moody Blues. If you were to indulge in an Album Reaction definately start with Days Of Future Passed. 1967.
Thanks for the Reactions to great music. I would love to be hearing it all for the first time again!
thanks for stopping by :)
Was surprised by this track tbh which made me think of the Moodies, even though the timbre of Neil Young's vocals was so different.
Fantastic song...normally wouldn't expect violins from Neil but this hit it on the nail
😢😢 lovely!! No one has a clue of beautiful orchestra❤❤❤ of music!
We're so happy that you've discovered the wondrous Buffalo Springfield. I was 17 in 1966, and this group was an essential part of my psychic well-being. Their other great album is "Retrospective" (1969), which is a collection of their best songs. Around this time, Neil Young produced his eponymous debut album. It is also wonderful, and timeless treasure from start to finish.
As good as this song is, Broken Arrow is the real prize.
Unfortunately Neil stopped composing similar songs. I guessed the last one was Ä Man needs a Maid". Perhaps because he no longer collaborated with Jack Nietzche
No one is mentioning Emerson Lake & Palmer in these creative rock opera bands lists.
I know. Great isn't it!
"Chills" -- you bet. it's too beautiful for words. Jack Nitzsche did the production and orchestration. I'm not really sure if many of other buffalo Springfield were intimately involved. This was Neil and Jack's baby. Keith Richards said he cried when he first heard it -now THAT's an endorsement! oh, as an aside, I think the ending was actually the beginning of the song at first and then jack did orchestration. but in the end, this was mostly Neil
Don't be fooled. This TH-camr doesn't have any chills, he is just selling his reaction videos with appealing impressions that are utterly fake.
Neil's genius. I'm sure you'd love Old Laughing Lady from his first solo album.
The perfect song for a tragic movie...even if the movie was awful you d play it over and over
Real nice and what I would expect from this short lived Super Group with Neil, Stephen, Jim Messina and more! You need to react to the early Moody Blues from Days of Future Past through their nextv6 albums!
Way back in 1969, I had a similar reaction..
This guy always wants longer songs but that's what it was back then...two minutes of greatness from the beatles to the springfield, dylan and all...
The '60's-'80's were such overflowing creative times for great musics. I'm still being introduced to wonderful pieces I missed first time around. Like this one. I was a little kid in 1966. 'Never heard "Expecting To Fly" before. Thanks!
Sounds like Stephen Stills too.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for stopping by :)
This song is a trip !
brilliant
This is my favorite song of all time the only thing that ever came close to me was the way you look tonight by the lettermen
Do you remember when did you hear it for the first time?
This will be one of my funeral songs. I need say no more!
beautiful song
So glad you are listening to this and Neil Young. Stephan Stills has some solo albums and also with Manassas. Neil has so many solo albums and with different backing groups. One of my favorites is Zuma. Enjoy your journey.
Exactly.....If I remember correctly, Neil recorded this by himself at home?! It was impossible to get his songs recorded as he envisioned them with everyone else in the band complaining, haha.
Talk about hidden gems, huh?
for sure! that's why we deep dive into each album
Orchestral arrangements courtesy of the brilliant Jack Nitzsche!
Wonderful deep dives! Anything against The Beatles. The leading band of the era your digging. Your lineup of 60s music is great choice. I wonder what you’d think of a White Album or Sgt Pepper’s react? Thank you!
I never heard White album. Only Sgt Pepper which I like, but it's a bit too trippy for it's own good.
Thanks for stopping by!
@@deepdivemusicreactions the White Album is the most random collection of their songs. Some rock some acoustic guitar and some tape loops here and there!
Thx for the reply! Maybe try Abbey Road or Let It Be, their last two albums. ✌🏽
Songs were only allowed to be 3 or 4 mins long a pity it wasn't longer
Thank you!!
thanks for stopping by!
If you listen
Wonderful song!
Would second @Henry Cole recommendation of The Moody Blues.
While Days of Future Past is a great place to start the journey, the second of the classic seven albums, In Search of the Lost Chord would be my pick to begin with.
Also, for your listening pleasure you might want to check out the "White Bird" by It's a Beautiful Day. Think you will really like it.
