I think he's a young guy who's done well enough to buy himself a ranch. He's "living in a paradise that makes me think of two." But ultimately, he's still alone, like the old man. They both are human beings who need "someone to love them the whole day through." I think Neil was looking at his ranch foreman and thinking, "that could be me someday, old and alone." Like, he's looking around himself and thinking, I've got this place, but WHO have I got?
Well Said !!!!
Well said.
That’s a great interpretation of this song!
On point Valerie, excellent.
By Golly, I think you're right. I've always struggled to understand the "makes me think of two" line. Thanks, Valerie, you're one smart cookie. :D
Don't sleep on the guitar performance, one man playing the bass line, rhythm, melody, and fills, all at once. It is very difficult to play as he is; especially while singing and remembering the lyrics that he recently wrote.
Neil Young was the first artist I ever saw live in my early teens. None of my friends had any interest so I bought a ticket and went on my own. What an incredible introduction to live music it was!
I bet that was an experience.
Saw him a couple of times. Once on his own, once with CSN&Y. Both times were amazing.
I love this intimate performance with just Neil & his guitar (harmonica). He was only 27 when he recorded this song as a young man. Now he is an older man at 77 years old. Neil is a very talented musician, singer & songwriter. He was with the groups Buffalo Springfield & Crosby, Stills & Nash in the later 60's. Also had his own group with Crazy Horse for a few years. Neil went solo & has had so many great songs over the years. The albums "After The Gold Rush" & "Harvest" from the 70's are considered 2 of his best.
Neil Young really didn't need a band behind him.
@@clare1061 True, Tho' he did have a nack of joining in with some pretty wicked musicians.
And he's Canadian 🇨🇦😎
Neil also wasn't a fame getter. Is why he is forever unique.🤗
My son was just 31 when he died in 2015; he had grown to really love Neil Young after listening to some of my old albums of his and this was his favorite song by Neil. We played this song at his funeral and now I always feel melancholy but full of love for my son when I hear it. It's so sad that my son never got the chance to become old himself.
❤️
Dang. Sorry man. Glad you can find solace in this beautiful song.
So sorry,to lose a child is the hardest thing in this world.As parents we all agree that we should pass before our children.How cool that you played his favorite songs to honor his memory.
@@maryannturton9830 Yes it was quite a variety, from Neil Young and John Denver and James Taylor to The Killers and Opeth and Led Zeppelin at his service. I have really been missing him lately, we used to have marathon music listening sessions till all hours, playing every genre of music you can think of and having animated discussions about all the songs. I really miss those times so much.
So sorry for your loss ❤
To me, it’s not about ‘understanding” the lyrics. It’s the beauty of the rhymes, the mood, and how the melody all come together. It’s a package.
Neil Young is another singer & song writer that creates a story into his music , you
will enjoy his talent!..😎
Awesome reaction!..👍
Neil Young is an "Old Man" himself now and he still plays this one almost in full circle retrospect. Check him out live more recently doing it all over again.😊
Just another example of why we say......"We had the best music in the 70s".
I'm 77 and im the same age as Niel Young. Growing up there were older men who influenced me by guidance and example. Bless them. There was aterm we used, back in the day, to describe someone we knew that had died. We would say "he was a good man". Those five words sum up a life...and they are powerful.
Peace be with you brother. Keep up the good work.
I'm 60. I listened as a child, now an old man. Talking to myself. Cats in the cradle, the same.❤
He's got so many great songs, but since we're headed into fall would highly suggest Harvest Moon!🎶
This very old performance (1971) I think, was done in London England on BBC Television.
It's the age-old story of the young man looking at the old man, and vice versa. Talking about how the old man, was once a young man just like him. It's a beautiful song about life and something most of us will go through.
Thanks
Joni was there, and Crosby/Nash were there. You can still find the other two performances on YT. Cr. Nash is really good.
They're both lonely and need someone to love. Excellent reaction and very good analysis.
it's seems to be about realizing that the age gap doesn't mean we are different. we have the same desires in life, wanting to be loved, needed.. we are much more similar then different no matter the age gap...
🇨🇦. Born in Toronto, but grew up in my home town, Winnipeg, Manitoba. He is a legend!
"Lullaby" is what the old man refers to him as, it's a conversation between two people with the only thing in common is the need for love, the young man wants it, while the old man lost it, hence the coin that won't get tossed rolling home to you.
Absolute musical genius he is. In the late 60s he was with a group called Buffalo Springfield. They wrote a song called " For what it's worth " You need to check that song out. It was written in 1967. I've been listening to his music for many many years And it never gets old. He was also with CSNY Crosby, Stills Nash and young.
One of my favorite songs of all time. "The Needle and the Damage Done," "Heart of Gold,""My My, Hey Hey," "Southern Man" are great
His music fills your soul...Beautiful!!! I'm 70 and always loved him and Leon Russell!!
Neil Young is another great Canadian treasure 🇨🇦🥰 He has been performing for decades, he is a fighter for civil rights, anti war, farmers aid concerts, the songs he writes and performs are amazing. His early albums After The Goldrush & Harvest are my favorites. Neil has a CZcams channel where you can check out his music videos and listen to his latest songs (2023).
My favorite songs from Neil are Harvest Moon, Southern Man about racism,Ohio anti war song about the USA national guard ordered into a peaceful protest at Ohio State University where they opened fire & murdered innocent students … these are only three favs I love 💕 He was at Woodstock with Crosby Stills & Nash. His early band was a great one Buffalo Springfield from the mid 60’s. My brother introduced me to Neil Young’s music and I have loved him ever since 🥰🇨🇦☮️💎
I was obsessed with Neil Young when I was but a child. It's so sad seeing him now when HE is the "Old Man" 😢
Why is being old sad? He’s happily married, still performs and has a great legacy. Not too shabby!
We all get old
So I guess that makes you old too, right? Maybe that's what is making you sad.
Myself, I've loved (not obsessively!) his music since I was young too. I only feel sad when artists I grew up with pass away. Just this year, Gordon Lightfoot, Robbie Robertson...but what a legacy of great music they and others have left for us to appreciate.
@lisannebaumholz5028 Lol...nope not old. My mom had his cd's. I guess I kept the images from those pix in my head until I saw a clip of him with his gf in an airport. She was literally guiding him because he was confused. He looked so feeble and THAT made me sad. But thank you for your concern.
@@violetfemme411 Okay, I guess that I misinterpreted that you actually saw Neil Young perform in the 1970s...but I guess you were obsessed with pictures of him on your mum's cds? Whatever...
Here he is performing this past July and not looking too feeble so I hope it cheers you up!

“Doesn’t mean that much to me to mean that much to you”
This song may seem solemn lyrically but in reality, it's uplifting and real af. Ex: "Old man take a look at my life, I'm a lot like you"... ie: Neil was wise enough at his young age (20-something)) to understand that the struggle of the old man was the same as his. The struggle is universal. The centery u were born in, age, gender, skin color, societal class etc does not matter... our struggles are the same. There's so much peace, solace and comfort in Neil's message in this song. Peace, light, and love...💞
I discovered him in the late 60's when I heard Sugar Mountain for the first time and his rendition of Helpless with The Band from The Last Waltz in '76 sealed the deal. ❤
This was a time in our history where the big issue was the "generation gap". The baby boomers. Alot of young people. WW2 babies. The two generations were so different, and disagreed on many things. Some of their parents didn't see what was broken about the way civil rights were established?!. Crazy. So it was a real mind blower for this hippie to say: 'if you take a step back and look at it as a whole, we are much more alike than we are different, and that way of thinking might just be the solution.'
At least that's my opinion and embellishment of his song.
Great reaction! Especially pointing out that profundity of the odd reversal of the young man seeing himself in the old man rather than vice versa...Like you said, it raises so many questions...Is the "Hollywood" life that strenuous? Or is life in general that way? Is he commenting on the inevitability of humanity growing old? Timeless indeed....
9:20 Your words remind me of the quote of the Greek philosopher Herodotus, "In peace, sons bury their fathers. In war, fathers bury their sons." Which has been the ultimate lesson of war for thousands of years, it robs the next generation...again, as you said, he is telling us to DO BETTER for the next generation...
I always felt like the words were a reflection of what he was saying, in that he's not talking to the old man so much as he's seeing himself in the future.
🤟🧙♂️🤟
oh definitely search out more Neil! He is a great storyteller
First time on your channel. This was a terrific reaction/review. Your point at the end about how the song might have been different if the old man had written it for Neil. Very interesting and astute. Thank you from lower Michigan.
The godfather of grunge. Watch him play Rockin In The Free World with Pearl Jam live on MTV Music Awards. Epic.
Dude I'm glad you reacted to this tune...he's really unique! Always uplifting coming into your channel!
He seeS himself in the old man…. He knows he will be that old man someday
Neil was also in a band with Rick James in their early years.
the audience didn't applaud at the beginning because this was the first time he played it in public....Live at Massey Hall....
I am 65 he is singing about how he wants the same things the old man wanted when the old man was young.
Neil Young is a vibe.
What I enjoy about your reactions is how you can really relate to the emotional qualities of music and lyric and discuss how the construction of the music conveys these qualities. A great critique on the totality of the work.
this song is 55 years old when the music transcends time you know its a true artist at work. great reaction thanks
The cycle of life keeps going round and round as each generation has parallel life experiences. Nice review of Neil Young at his very best, and in his prime. The songwriting, the guitar work, the flow of the music, the expressive vocals have made him a legend whose career has gone on for more than half a century.
A canadian that I grew up with, his music has real meaning that you can still feel 50 yrs later
Song reminds me of my dad. I was 19 when he passed, Im 35 now. Ive got a 9 year old daughter. He as 32 when I was born. I wonder all the time what his relationship would be with my kid and what kinda shit he would tell me today if he was still here. He left me when life started but hey sometimes shit happens. This is a good song and it tugs at them ole heart strings. RIP Dad. 1957 - 2008
To me he’s saying to the old man, I believe you look at me and say I was once like you, young and carefree but we’re the same because you need love no matter how old you get
Tone of our truest Canadians ever❤️
Authenticity is what I feel when I listen to Neil. He always conveys what was on his mind, so that’s what struck him.He moved to a ranch very young and met a older guy caretaker of the ranch. I always thought he just saw the older man as who he would eventually become, they are people,people who need love,dignity. Too many people try to keep the generations at odds, we are each other. There is the line “As I am now so you shall be.” ☮️ Little boy sit on the corner and cry
Big man come and he ask him why
Says I can't do what the big boys do
Man sat down and he cried too
This song EVENTUALLY comes to all of us. 🤣💯
“ I’m a lot like you were”. We all were Neil’s age then- now we are the old man.
Mugs- check out one of the greatest protest songs by Neil - “ Ohio” - about the National Guard killing protesting anti war students at Kent State in ‘71. ❤
That's such a touching song.🎼
Definitely a must.😢
I'm of that generation. We said "don't trust anyone over 30", now we are way past that. I remember when I turned 60, I was like now I'm twice that age. We had the best music. Never tired of it.
I was ten when this came out in 1972. That was during a time of great social upheaval. People talked about the generation gap because because many kids and young adults were very different from their parents. There were protests over Vietnam, illegal drugs moved from the seamy side of town into middle class neighborhoods and Hollywood mansions, we had the women’s rights movement and the civil rights movement, draft dodgers, sit-ins, mini skirts and bell bottoms, flower power . . . It was pretty crazy. I always thought this song was Neil’s way of telling the older generations that he was a lot like they were in their youth, even though he looked very different. I grew up in the sixties and seventies and I realized decades later that the musicians I grew up listening to had themselves grown up in a more traditional environment.
Now I learn that he’s talking about the foreman of his ranch and that puts a new spin on the song. It doesn’t change what I already thought. It just adds more depth. I live in central California and know people who own ranches or farms or who work in agriculture. Most of them were born to it and were put to work as soon as they could carry a bucket (not full time, of course). I can only imagine what it was like for the hardworking elderly foreman to suddenly find himself working for a twenty four year old musician who was able to buy the ranch. I wonder if they had conversations about it or if the old man had made comments or given Neil looks that expressed contempt. The line “Doesn’t mean that much to me to mean that much to you” to me suggests that the foreman didn’t really respect him.
Great reaction, as always. Keep up the good work.
Raw rocking Neil Young is a track called "Down by the river" live version with Neil's band Crazy Horse
Wow smart thinking, ❤❤
ABSOLUTELYB LUV HOW YOU REACT TO ALL MUSIC! Not just the here n now. Many of these iconic bands/singers paved the way!. 🤙
Neil was with the Legendary Band: Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. He was also in Buffalo Springfield and Crazy Horse. "Rockin in the Free World" is definitely worth a good listen too.
Beautiful beautiful guitar playing
Love this piece.
I think the singer finds himself alone on this ranch and realizes he’s like the old man in that way.
An absolute Legend. He was with Crosby Stills Nash and Young. Went solo and never looked back. Hes one of the greatest story tellers of all time
Old man speaks of him "lullabies run in ur eyes "
Neil Young i strongly suspect is an Old Soul
The town since he is new isn't the center of his life like it is for the old man who is a longtime resident. Young man is having a moment of awareness that he will be an old man someday
Old Man is speaking to him in "Lullaby look in your eyes..." until the chorus again. The line "Doesn't mean that much to me to mean that much to you" is maybe a shy response to Neil writing a song to, about, and for him.
Thank YOU!
Genius.
Timeless
Thanks is a two way street. Old farts like me love watching young uns enjoy the music that shaped us.
Right on ! haven't said that in a long time
I think you got the perspective.. Neil is a cool cat, and ya seem to hit the nail on the head with the tune.
clasic and acoustic mastery
Simplicity at its finest
“ dosen’t mean that much to me, to mean that much to you “. Simple meaning, as a young man he has no special attachments to the town, but as an old man he has a lifetime of memories living there, that the young man wouldn’t.
I always interpreted that as Neil saying "I am doing what I want to do for me, not for you."
@@cpmf2112 That interpretation would make it an incredibly selfish attitude wouldn’t it.
@@cheryla7480 yes, but it wouldn't be surprising in someone young who hadn't experienced that much life yet or the terrible pain of loneliness.
👍An old school icon! 🖖❤
SO HE JUST WROTE THIS SONG FOR HIM MUG!!! LMAO 😊ONLYYYYY 52 YEARS AGO NOW 😊AND NOW NEIL'S THE OLD MAN, THINK ABOUT THAT! 😮THIS SAME BBC SHOW YOU CAN TAKE IN HIS HUGE HIT ( HEART OF GOLD ) WHERE HE PLAYS HIS HARMONICA ALSO 👍 ENJOYYY THIS GREAT LEGEND MUG!
☮️💙💙💙🔥🔥😎my favorite
top line , its a real master
That’s an exceptional take! Nice work!
This song is a piece of art. Lots of interpretations. To me, it's about loneliness. Peace Love Happiness
Great and insightful reaction
Just about nobody can touch a soul like "Crazy Shakey".
Neil pretty much always either contemplated time and aging or loneliness in his songs. In this song it's both. I think part of it is that he's looking at the old man, alone on this farm, and realizing he's on a path to be in the same place when he gets old.
It always sounds sad, even when he considers the song funny himself. If you want to hear him rock out and clearly not take himself seriously try Farmer John.
just presenting the human condition....simple art is the best art....th
is is genius
Hi, Neil is 77 now so he can relate, I'm not as old as him but I also can relate🙂I was a Musician too and I know, at least for me, I get sentimental when I look back on my life🤔
I always felt that Neil was singing as though the old man may have looked at him as a young and naive. Possibly not respecting Neils way of life since it was not "manly" work and thinking the two of them had nothing in common and were worlds apart and Neil was trying to say we are more alike than not.
Neil is a force of nature.
Old man take a look at my life, I'm a lot like you WERE. He is where the old man was 50 years ago. He sees what is to be in the future and knows he can have a good life.
dope song!!
Neil Young is a fantastic songwriter/singer. Would love to see your reaction to Ohio. It was a protest song Neil wrote in 1970 after four students were gunned down and killed by Ohio state National Guard at Kent State University. They were peaceful protesters. Neil was so moved by the tragedy he wrote Ohio that day. It was recorded by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young and stood as a strong protest song during the Vietnam War. Thanks for the great reaction to Old Man. 👏👏👍
Yes the old Man was a lot like him years ago. and some day (Like now) He'll be the one that is old.
I’m a lot like you - I need someone to love me the whole day through…look my eyes, you can see it’s true - both of them need that. That’s how they are alike. The song is the love for the old man, the singer needs that kind of love.
Neil, is now 78 years old.. He’s written over a thousand songs.. you must listen to Harvest Moon 🌚 He’s an amazing artist! A pure Canadian Talent. 🇨🇦❤️
The riff is incredible on my top 10 riffs of all time
Great Reaction 👍🙏
To me it's a song of reflection & self evaluation in comparison to the "OLD MAN"... RESPECT!
peace
It is called the strength in the family unit, The unit that life seems to want to destroy now days. Back then we lead by example not tolerance.
Like you, for the longest time I didn't get the line, "Doesn't mean that much to me to mean that much to you"..Then I think I finally got it..He's telling the old man that it's ok if the old man is indifferent to what he's saying..He still wants to tell him about it..Also, when he says "I'm a lot like you" he's just saying they are really no different (aside from age) in what most people want out of life, and that is to have someone love them, bottom line..That's how I take it, anyway.
My perspective - I felt when we were young, the older generation didn’t think much of us. Didn’t care for our music, and thought we were wasting our lives away. I suppose in some ways we did. But isn’t that what growing pains are? Trying to find our way in life.
The Vietnam war was raging and the young guys had no way out because of the draft. So they went. And they died. And we protested. (Rightfully so). So there was a season of rebellion and “dropping out of society”.
I see this song as an attempt by Neil Young to somehow try and bridge that gap.
I was given the album "Harvest" for my 21st birthday back in 1986.. it was my fave, i wore that vinyl thin.
I’m a lot like you were. Like you were, in your past, old man.
Thanks from a Canadian who remembers 😎
More Neil is always a GOOD IDEA…
Love this song!
Love Neil Young!
Great choice, my Man!
Kudos, my Brother from another Mother.
He saw the man, who'd worked hard and made his way thru life, and Neil had already been thru some stuff, so after being on the ranch awhile with him, old man reminded him of himself. So, he wrote a song about it.
second verse is OLD MAN speaking of him!
