Heart of Gold - Neil Young

Tema mítico dónde los haya y una de mis canciones de folk/rock preferidas. 

Temazo.

Perteneciente al también mítico Harvest del músico canadiense, Heart of Gold fue número uno durante mucho tiempo y es quizás la canción más conocida del experimentado músico, que formó parte de bandas como Buffalo Springfield y fue el Young de Crosby, Stills, Nash y Young.

Maestría al ejecutar la guitarra con unos sencillos pero eficaces acordes y maestría con la armónica.

Según parece, Bob Dylan, que era o es amigo de Young, decía esto cuando se lanzó el tema:

“I used to hate it when it came on the radio. I always liked Neil Young, but it bothered me every time I listened to ‘Heart of Gold.’ I think it was up at number one for a long time, and I’d say, ‘Shit, that’s me. If it sounds like me, it should as well be me’,” 

Espero que os guste



I want to live
I want to give
I've been a miner for a heart of gold
It's these expressions
I never give
That keep me searching for a heart of gold

And I'm getting old
Keep me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old

I've been to Hollywood
I've been to Redwood
I crossed the ocean for a heart of gold
I've been in my mind
It's such a fine line
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold

And I'm getting old
Keeps me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old

Keep me searching for a heart of gold
You keep me searching and I'm growing old
Keep me searching for a heart of gold
I've been a miner for a heart of gold

Suite: Judy Blue Eyes - Crosby, Stills & Nash

Tema mítico e influyente donde los haya incluido en el álbum debut del trío americano Crosby, Stills & Nash (Neil Young se unió más adelante), compuesto por Stephen Stills y que habla sobre la inminente ruptura con la que era su pareja por aquel entonces, Judy Collins.

Las preciosas armonías vocales y la guitarra acústica guían esta suite dividida en cuatro partes que desemboca en la famosa coda.

Los músicos ya tenían experiencia en otros grupos ya consagrados como The Byrds (Crosby), Buffalo Sprinfield (Stills) o The Hollies (Nash).

Todos los instrumentos con la excepción de la percusión están tocados por Stephen Stills. Un verdadero artista.

Espero que os guste 



 It's getting to the point where I'm no fun anymore

I am sorry
Sometimes it hurts so badly I must cry out loud
I am lonely

I am yours, you are mine, you are what you are
You make it hard

Remember what we've said and done and felt about each other
Oh, babe have mercy
Don't let the past remind us of what we are not now
I am not dreaming

I am yours, you are mine, you are what you are
You make it hard

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Tearing yourself away from me now you are free
And I am crying
This does not mean I don't love you I do that's forever
Yes and for always

I am yours, you are mine, you are what you are
You make it hard

Something inside is telling me that I've got your secret
Are you still listening?
Fear is the lock and laughter the key to your heart
And I love you

I am yours, you are mine, you are what you are
You make it hard
And you make it hard
And you make it hard
And you make it hard

Friday evening
Sunday in the afternoon
What have you got to lose?

Tuesday morning
Please be gone I'm tired of you
What have you got to lose?

Can I tell it like it is? (Help me I'm sufferin')
Listen to me baby
It's my heart that's a sufferin' it's a dyin' (Help me I'm dyin')
And that's what I have to lose (To lose)

I've got an answer
I'm going to fly away
What have I got to lose?

Will you come see me
Thursdays and Saturdays?
What have you got to lose?

Chestnut-brown canary
Ruby-throated sparrow
Sing a song, don't be long
Thrill me to the marrow

Voices of the angels
Ring around the moonlight
Asking me said she so free
How can you catch the sparrow?

Lacy-lilting lyric
Losing-love lamenting
Change my life, make it right
Be my lady

Doo doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo

Doo doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo

¡Que linda! Me recuerda a Cuba
La reina de la Mar Caribe
Quiero sólo visitarla allí
Y que triste que no puedo.
¡Vaya!
O Va! O Va!

Doo doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo

Doo doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo

Heart of Gold - Neil Young




I want to live,
I want to give
I've been a miner
for a heart of gold
It's these expressions
I never give
That keep me searching
for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
Keeps me searching
for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old

I've been to Hollywood
I've been to Redwood
I crossed the ocean
for a heart of gold
I've been in my mind,
it's such a fine line
That keeps me searching
for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
Keeps me searching
for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old

Keep me searching
for a heart of gold
You keep me searching
And I'm growing old
Keep me searching
for a heart of gold
I've been a miner
for a heart of gold

Rockin In The Free World - Neil Young


There's colors on the street 
Red, white and blue 
People shufflin' their feet 
People sleepin' in their shoes 
But there's a warnin' sign 
on the road ahead 
There's a lot of people sayin' 
we'd be better off dead 
Don't feel like Satan, 
but I am to them 
So I try to forget it, 
any way I can. 

Keep on rockin' in the free world, 
Keep on rockin' in the free world 
Keep on rockin' in the free world, 
Keep on rockin' in the free world. 

I see a woman in the night 
With a baby in her hand 
Under an old street light 
Near a garbage can 
Now she puts the kid away, 
and she's gone to get a hit 
She hates her life, 
and what she's done to it 
There's one more kid 
that will never go to school 
Never get to fall in love, 
never get to be cool. 

Keep on rockin' in the free world, 
Keep on rockin' in the free world 
Keep on rockin' in the free world, 
Keep on rockin' in the free world. 

We got a thousand points of light 
For the homeless man 
We got a kinder, gentler, 
Machine gun hand 
We got department stores 
and toilet paper 
Got styrofoam boxes 
for the ozone layer 
Got a man of the people, 
says keep hope alive 
Got fuel to burn, 
got roads to drive. 

Keep on rockin' in the free world, 
Keep on rockin' in the free world 
Keep on rockin' in the free world, 
Keep on rockin' in the free world.
