| Neil Young – Will To Love Lyrics
| 8 years ago

Currently reading 'Shakey' by Jimmy McDonough, a very long book. I never realized what a crazy prick Neil is (was?) until I read this book. Ever since I was a teenager, I somehow felt that Neil 'spoke to me' in a way that no other singer could. Decades later, in the months it has taken me to get through McDonough's biography, I have dug into Neil's work like an obsessed geek. Neil's music is inconsistent, emotional, and deeply personal. Wikipedia is a great reference for critical reaction to Neil's various songs and albums. Anyone who has criticized "Will to Love" has likely not listened to it while stoned off their ass driving through the desolate Flint Hills of Kansas. Holy shit what an intense song. Neil, I cannot ever know or understand you, but you understand me to the depths of my soul even though you have no idea who I am. |

I just can't see how it would be possible to figure out what in the world Neil was thinking about when he wrote this song. It just seems impossible to even begin to interpret. I'm currently reading Neil's biography, 'Shakey.' It is written chronologically, and I am currently reading about 'everybody knows this is nowhere.' Soon I will get the 'after the gold rush' and then maybe I'll get some insight. But from what I am reading Neil definitely writes In riddles and is cryptic and allusive when asked to describe his lyrics, so I will likely never know what Words is about. Heck, I always just figured it was about someone and someone being down by the pond looking for something to plant in the lawn. I mean, isn't that enough? |
