  • the screen is double because of strikes from youtube
    Come a little bit closer
    Hear what I have to say
    Just like children sleepin'
    We could dream this night away
    But there's a full moon risin'
    Let's go dancin' in the light
    We know where the music's playin'
    Let's go out and feel the night
    Because I'm still in love with you
    I want to see you dance again
    Because I'm still in love with you
    On this harvest moon
    When we were strangers
    I watched you from afar
    When we were lovers
    I loved you with all my heart
    But now it's gettin' late
    And the moon is climbin' high
    I want to celebrate
    See it shinin' in your eye
    Because I'm still in love with you
    I want to see you dance again
    Because I'm still in love with you
    On this harvest moon
    Because I'm still in love with you
    I want to see you dance again
    Because I'm still in love with you

      I have become addicted to playing this song on my guitar and have played little else in the last 4 or 5 months. What is it about this song? It most definitely makes me well up with tears when Neil sings it. There is something ethereal about it - I don't know what it is but it has captured my soul and it won't let go. I think it is my favourite song of all time. Music that can make you cry for no apparent reason is extremely powerful, definitely something very, very special is going on here and I whole-heartedly embrace it even though I can't begin to understand it. Keep on rockin'in the free world guys!😊

      I also was enchanted on the night it played on snl. I recorded each snl including the rerun the same yea then I lost the vhsc tape and felt true loss and sadness although I had seen the official vid, but it wasn't the same as the snl live performance. Time marches on but each year there is a harvest moon. This 2022 h.m. is due in Oct but here I am.
      Now where can one acquire a copycwithoutvthe double screen?

      @@RobbiePfunder - Dobro (stringed instrument) as played on the album and here: czcams.com/video/n2MtEsrcTTs/video.html Without accompaniment, Neil Young just plays harmonic rings on his guitar instead. Not really hard but he makes it look effortless. Well, he did write the melody and has played it thousands of times by now so no surprise.

    I saw this live when I was maybe 12 or 13, and I recall being stunned by the beauty of the song, and just thinking it just felt like an incredible moment in late night television. In retrospect, maybe one of the musical high points that SNL cast saw, and that was when Hartman, Farley, Carvey, Nealon, Myers, Meadows, Sandler, Spade, etc. were in the cast. Neil never slowed down after that either. He’s still the real deal.

      Neil usually has another player do the Harmonics part but as you can see it can be done by yourself. It's not a hard part you just need the practice to get the feel & the hardest part is the final note in the progression. I am more a rock player but have always loved Neil's work especially this tune. I would share a bit though it's an older song I wrote for electric guitar back in my younger days . If you would like to hear it here's the Link. czcams.com/video/RHj04fFTrZI/video.html or click on my green icon button & click Lost Time. I also play much acoustic stuff & this song was one of my favorites . Usually do what He does & let someone else do the Harmonic part as you see how much it slows him down to try & stay smooth . That's the really tough part if you want to do all the parts at the same sitting.
