From Hank to Hendrix Lyrics

Lyric discussion by simpelmans 

Cover art for From Hank to Hendrix lyrics by Neil Young

Harvest Moon was a long awaited followup of After The Goldrush. This song is about Neil youngs relation with his public during all those years, , when he started, until now. I'll walk these streets with you (all these years I made music for you, while we both grew older) Here I am with this old guitar Doin' what I do

I always expected That you would see me through I never believed in much But I believed in you (you=the audience, his fans)

Can we get it together? Can we still stand side by side? Can we make it last Like a musical ride?

From Marilyn to Madonna (Marilyn Monroe style-icon for Madonna) I always loved your smile Now we're headed for the big divorce California-style

I found myself singin' Like a long-lost friend The same thing that makes you live (This is a phrase which is true on many levels: addiction will make live, but will kill you in the end. Love can give strenghth, but great sorrow when it is lost, your personality will achieve things, while it will also be your ultimate burden) Can kill you in the end
