| Neil Young – Helpless Lyrics | 8 years ago |
| @[mattkid4:21678] I agree! It is an extremely spare, plaintiff, moving and evocative song of memories of lost youth. This is echoed everywhere, from the bitter-sweet reedy harmonica riffs to the strikingly simple and vivid imagery: "Yellow moon on the rise". I would venture to add one supportive point: The birds "Throwing shadows across on our eyes" is a harbinger of the "helpless" inevitable future where the lover is going to be gone and the only way to bring her back is for her to "sing with me somehow". Maybe somebody already made this point... Anyway, love it! | |
