Winterlong Lyrics

Cover art for Winterlong lyrics by Neil Young

the lyrics are a genre exercise. it sounds like he was trying to write a sort-of brian wilson type thing. it may be about coke. maybe about a woman. if it's about the drug then "you seem to be where i belong" is one of the most bummer-iffic lyrics young has ever penned. did i forget to say that it doesn't matter because the song is heart-achingly beautiful?

When I saw Neil at Hammermith Apollo a couple of years ago, just before he played "Winterlong" he said "This one's for Danny Whitten" so make of it what you will.Another one of Neil's secret gems.
