《After the Gold Rush》
Well, i dreamed i saw the knights
In armor coming,
Saying something about a queen.
There were peasants singing and
Drummers drumming
And the archer split the tree.
There was a fanfare blowing
To the sun
That was floating on the breeze.
Look at mother nature on the run
In the nineteen seventies.
Look at mother nature on the run
In the nineteen seventies.
In armor coming,
Saying something about a queen.
There were peasants singing and
Drummers drumming
And the archer split the tree.
There was a fanfare blowing
To the sun
That was floating on the breeze.
Look at mother nature on the run
In the nineteen seventies.
Look at mother nature on the run
In the nineteen seventies.
I was lying in a burned out basement
With the full moon in my eyes.
I was hoping for replacement
When the sun burst thru the sky.
There was a band playing in my head
And i felt like getting high.
I was thinking about what a
Friend had said
I was hoping it was a lie.
Thinking about what a
Friend had said
I was hoping it was a lie.
With the full moon in my eyes.
I was hoping for replacement
When the sun burst thru the sky.
There was a band playing in my head
And i felt like getting high.
I was thinking about what a
Friend had said
I was hoping it was a lie.
Thinking about what a
Friend had said
I was hoping it was a lie.
Well, i dreamed i saw the silver
Space ships flying
In the yellow haze of the sun,
There were children crying
And colors flying
All around the chosen ones.
All in a dream, all in a dream
The loading had begun.
flying mother nature's
Silver seed to a new home in the sun.
Flying mother nature's
Silver seed to a new home.
Space ships flying
In the yellow haze of the sun,
There were children crying
And colors flying
All around the chosen ones.
All in a dream, all in a dream

Silver seed to a new home.
人物經歷
1945
1945年11月，Neil Young出生於加拿大多倫多，父親是加拿大著名的體育記者Scott Young。在雙親離異之後，Neil Young跟隨母親來到了Winnipeg。正如那個時代的很多年輕人一樣，Neil Young從小就自學吉他，並在高中時開始組樂隊。在有過不少組樂隊的經驗之後，Young真正的音樂生涯開始於在加州組建的Buffalo Springfield樂隊。1966年秋，Neil Young和Stephen Stills在內的另外三位樂隊成員開始錄製樂隊首張專輯《Buffalo Springfield》。Buffalo Springfield樂隊在短暫的兩年內共發行了三張專輯，Neil Young的創作天分得以充分發揮，在隊期間創作出《Mr. Soul》 ，《Broken Arrow》，《Expecting to Fly》和《I Am a Child》等著名歌曲。在短暫的一進一出之後，Neil Young在1968年5月正式離開了Buffalo Springfield樂隊，開始了個人的單飛生涯，同年宣告了樂隊的解散。
1969
1969年1月，Neil Young和加拿大老鄉Joni Mitchell的經紀人Elliot Roberts合作在Reprise公司發行了首張個人專輯《Neil Young》，專輯由Jack Nitzsche參與共同製作。同年，Young結識了the Rockets樂隊並開始經常合作。之後Young將the Rockets改名為Crazy Horse，並將其作為第二張個人專輯《Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere》的伴奏樂隊。Young的著名歌曲《Cinnamon Girl》和《Down by the River》都出自該專輯。在個人發行過兩張專輯之後，Neil Young又加入到Crosby, Stills和Nash中，於1970年3月跟該組合合作發行了專輯《Deja Vu》。這個時期是Young的一個創作高峰。在1970年年底和1972年，Young又分別發行了專輯《After the Gold Rush》和《Harvest》，這兩張專輯成為Neil Young最暢銷的專輯，同時也奠定了Neil Young在搖滾屆的地位。《Harvest》中的歌曲《Heart of Gold》還成為Neil Young唯一一首冠軍單曲。
1983
在七十年代中後期發行了另外幾張暢銷專輯(如《Tonight's the Night》，《Comes a time》，《Rust never sleeps》)之後，Neil Young進入了個人音樂生涯的一段低潮期。在1983年，Young同合作多年老東家Reprise公司分手，轉投Geffen公司，而事實證明，這個階段是Young事業上遭受困難最多的一個時期，這個時期的Young受到德國著名樂隊發電站(Kraftwerk)的影響，將電聲引入到自己的音樂中，並在專輯中作了不少實驗性的作品。雖然在商業上很不成功，但對音樂無比執著的Neil Young並沒有放棄音樂。1987年，在Geffen公司發行最後一張專輯《Life》之後，Neil Young毅然決定離開，重新回到Reprise公司的懷抱，並在1989年發行了回歸之後的崛起之作《Freedom》，《Freedom》成為繼《Rust never sleeps》之後最受輿論好評的專輯。而從1990年的《Ragged Glory》開始，Crazy Horse樂隊再次開始和Neil Young合作。另外，此時逐漸走紅的一些年輕的樂隊如音速青年(Sonic Youth)，聲音花園(Soundgarden)和珍珠果醬(Pearl Jam)等都公開表示在他們樂隊的成長過程中均受到過Neil Young的影響，而Neil Young也因此獲得了“Grunge教父”的美譽。
1992
1992年，錄製《Harvest》專輯時大部分的原班人馬和Young再度攜手出版了被稱作《Harvest》“續集”的《Harvest Moon》。次年，Neil Young參加了MTV台舉辦的著名的“不插電”音樂會並發行記錄本場演出的CD和DVD。同樣在1993年，Geffen公司發行了Neil Young在該公司期間作品的精選，十分諷刺的取名為《Lucky thirteen》(幸運十三)。1994年，Young發行了另一張廣受好評的專輯《Sleeps with Angels》，本張專輯還在Billboard 200專輯榜上打入前十，排在第九位。而Young在1995年和珍珠果醬樂隊合作的專輯《Mirror Ball》不僅在Billboard 200專輯榜中排在第五位，還為Young贏得了當年的葛萊美獎的“最佳搖滾男歌手表演獎”的提名。1996年，Neil Young還為著名獨立電影導演吉姆·賈姆許(Jim Jarmusch)拍攝的電影《Dead Man》製作了電影的原聲大碟。同年，Young發行另一張和Crazy Horse樂隊合作的專輯《Broken Arrow》。
