Neil Young, el viejo sabio

Este es un domingo dedicado a Neil Young. Es un domingo de preparación para el viaje a Los Angeles, California. El martes en la noche estaremos en el Nokia Live Theater para escuchar al Tío Neil. Es uno de estos sueños que hemos tenido por años y de momento te dices, es ahora o nunca.  Como se podrán imaginar estamos bien emocionados. Los dejo con una cita de Neil y con dos de mis canciones favoritas de su nuevo disco.

«Esta época se conocerá en el futuro como la edad de las tinieblas que no vimos cuando las teníamos justo delante de nosotros. ¿Por qué hay tanta gente disgustada? ¿Qué hemos hecho? Tiene que haber una razón. Hay que revisar la Historia y ver qué les hemos hecho a estos pequeños países y cómo los hemos maltratado de distintas maneras pretendiendo hacer el bien. No nos hemos dado cuenta de que nuestro estilo de vida no es el único». (La leyenda del indomable Neil Young) Vía Alex Bossano

The Believer

I’m just a believer baby
In those dreams of mine
You see they just keep on comin’
In a long, long line
Oh yeah, I’m the believer
Oh yeah, I’m the believer
And like that songbird singin’
Whether it’s red or blue
Just like those church bells ringin’
I’m keepin’ my faith in you
Oh yeah, I’m the believer
Oh yeah, I believe in you
And though the seas may rise
Until they do
I keep doin’ the things I’m doin’
And believe in you
I’m makin’ the change
I’m keepin’ my faith in you
Oh yeah, I’m the believer
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Sure is a windy road
That I walk with you
Look how the trees are bendin’
Their leaves are fallin’ too
Oh yeah, oh yeah
I’m the believer, babe
Oh yeah
I remember my mama saying
I want to be
On this windy road
For eternity
I’m makin’ the change
I’m keepin’ my faith in you
Oh yeah, I’m the believer, babe
I believe in you
Oh yeah, I’m the believer, babe
I’m the believer
I’m the believer
Oh yeah
Oh yeah

Spirit Road

There’s a long highway in your mind
The spirit road that you must find
To get you home to peace again
Where you belong my love lost friend
When you’re alone
You cheat yourself
You paint yourself in a dark, dark place
You get your shoes
And get your hat
Get out here while you still can
There’s nothin’ right that you can say
You keep on talkin’ anyway and everyone seems to turn on you
There’s nothing right that you can ever do
Spirit road
Spirit road
Spirit road
Spirit road
Now you’re on that long highway in your mind
The spirit road that you had to find
You’re headed home to peace again
Where you belong my love lost friend
You stop to eat
You start to drink
But you don’t stop and you don’t think
You lost your keys
You’re on your knees
You’re on your back and lookin’ up in the trees
And the night swirls for a little girl
A speck of dust in the giant world
There’s a spirit road that you must find
A long highway in your mind
Spirit road
Spirit road
Spirit road
Spirit road
There’s a long highway in your mind
The spirit road that you must find
To get you home to peace again
Where you belong my love lost friend
Don’t feed that snake
That turns on you
You starve it out, that’s what you do
And it makes you lie
It makes you cheat
It steals your shoes and cuts your feet
The snake keeps feeding through the night
You lose your soul without a fight
There’s nothin’ right that you can say
You keep on talkin’ anyway
There’s a long highway in your mind
The spirit road that you must find
Peace again
Peace again
There’s a long highway in your mind
The spirit road that you must find
To get you home to peace again
Where you belong my love lost friend
When you’re alone
You cheat yourself
You paint yourself in a dark, dark place
Get your hat
Get your shoes
Get out here while you still can still choose
Spirit road
Spirit road
Spirit road
Spirit road
Spirit road
Spirit road
Spirit road
Spirit road
