FIRST TIME EVER HEARING NEIL YOUNG "DON'T LET IT BRING YOU DOWN" REACTION 

Neil Young is one of the greatest singer/ songwriters of a generation. Some say he originated Grunge. Great poet.

Neil Young was a lyricists lyricist. And that voice... Sugar Mountain, Old Man, Needle And The Damage Done....so many all timers in this catalog. Great choice ❤

so many ways to appreciate Neil, first off Buffalo Springfield, Crosby Stills Nash & Young, Neil Young & Crazy Horse and Neil solo. one of the largest catalogues in music.......

He started making music in the sixties and is still doing it today. This song is from 1970(After The Goldrush). He is one of the greatest, and definitely tall :)

This song was used in the movie "American Beauty" with Kevin Spacey, but it was a cover by Annie Lenox, not by Neil Young. Although I am biased because I prefer the original, Annie did a great job on the cover. I'm not sure if it's in any other movie though.

couldn't click fast enough........Neil is a huge part of my musical education and worth an excavation! Cheers

You could react to a Neil Young song every week for a few years. Alone. With Buffalo Springfield, with Crosby, Stills and Nash, with Crazy Horse, with the International Harvesters, with The Shocking Pink. Acoustic guitar and harmonica, on a baby grand piano, with a hard rocking band or a country band. He's legend..

I happen to know Neil had a back injury when this was recorded which explains the posture...

From the masterpiece album After The Gold Rush.

Annie Lennox did a cover of this which was in the movie American Beauty. The song is from the Vietnam war era but I don't know what it's about.

First album I ever bought CSNY 4-Way Street. Hooked ever since. Thanks for going off the grid.

This song was played in the movie "American Beauty"

1970. After the Goldrush. One of his best albums. I was ten years old that year, and have enjoyed his music since. One of the giants indeed. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Wild 🐎 Horse's is my all time favorite of Neil Young's . His voice is so original and his sound brings alotta feel & the lyrics he owns them & connects. Love it

Cool Neil Young grew up on his music…. Thank you 🙏 for reacting lots of good old school out there ….

THIS IS OVERRRRR 50 YEARS AGO NOW GUYS! :) IT'S A CLASSIC 71 BBC CONCERT

learned this whole album by heart right after it came out. still sing these to myself all the time...maybe why I'm so f'n depressed all the time ;)

My fav NY song! Beautiful.

One of his best!

Needle and the damage done is another amazing song from him.

Thank you for reacting to Neil. He's one of the pioneers of folk/Rock, grunge. And was really one of the first punk rockers not to bow down to what record companies want. Please play Cowgirl in the Sand studio track.

There was a famous cover of this played in American Beauty

Check out one of the first music battles, Neil Young “Southern Man” and Lynyrd Skynyrd response “Sweet Home Alabama” ....this was waaaaay before rap battles

A cool, under appreciated, acoustic song of his with amazing lyrics is Campaigner. It's about Richard Nixon who Neil disliked a lot. In that song, though, he expresses his sympathy for Nixon. He had seen him on the news, weeping at the hospital after Pat Nixon had a stroke. Neil wrote the song that night...might have even recorded it that night. That's how he worked. Check that one out whether you're doing a reaction or not. It's beautiful.

Legend

The song was released in 1970 guys... I think you're right BJ in guessing about the song maybe reflecting some of the hard things going on at the time, such as the Vietnam war, and young people being drafted and sent over to possibly be killed, and young people protesting that war, and sometimes arrested for trying to avoid the draft or for protesting against the war. And Neil maybe saying "try not to let it get you down, whatever it is you're facing in life". I think every time period has it's challenges, there's plenty of challenges right now too!

London, 1971. Neil Young is one of the great musicians of the era. His music also reflects the times, especially, the War in Vietnam. His activism, however, is a whole different story. A Canadian socialist/Marxist his philosophy on life is just like all the other socialists/Marxists. As long as it doesn't effect THEIR million$ they are all about everybody else giving away everything they have worked for.

Wild 🐎 Horse's is my all time favorite of Neil Young's . His voice is so original and his sound brings alotta feel & the lyrics he owns them & connects. Love his work.

Out on the Weekend is another great Neil Young underappreciated song.

I love how he made fun of the song when he introduced it. Shows a humbleness I really appreciated

Man yall are putting some good music out there. Much love

This is pretty early Neil Young, 1970. He was around in the late 60s too. Think this was from After the Gold Rush album. Great album! There's lots of great Neil Young music going back to his Crazy Horse band in the 60s to Buffalo Springfield to when he hooked up with Crosby, Stills & Nash. And he just keeps on going. He's a great songwriter and musician. Really a poet in my book! ✌❤

Yea you should do Sugar Mountain....one of my favs

Neil 🤷👍🏻❤️

Thank you for reacting to my favorite Neil Young song.

Yooooo first time on the channel! Great reaction. Neil Young is an absolute legend. GO O’s! World Series champs 2024.

Neil, fenominal artist. Crosby,Stills, Nash and Young songs - greatest Hits are a smash!

It was a different time & different people

Love your all's reactions. This song was released Sept 19, 1970

Peace. ✌ Love💌. I'll always be here to hear Neil.

Annie Lennox version in American Beauty is beautiful too.

Neil young says it like it is. He’s my hero

Its only castle's burning....#bars

I'm listening now. His "youthful" voice is so beautiful. Soprano.

My apologies. I thought the YT header said 1 hour ago and now see it was one year. Still, I wrote this so I will leave it. Asia and BJ, I believe this song was based on things he saw on cold mornings delivering newspapers as a kid on northern Ontario. All kinds of bad news, just a pep talk to himself to get home safely, ignore the negative, and find like minded people to hang with, That was from BBC television (London) in 1971. The entire show was only about 30 min long. Have you ever seen one person together with only his/her instruments who can captivate a large crowd - a generation even-like Neil Young? Stay tuned in to Neil Young, please. He is probably more famous for his electric guitar work and definite ROCK voice with his band Cra y Horse. You could stay on this path a very long time before you or your subscribers grew tired of Neil. IMO, whenever possible choose live performances. Cinnamon Girl, Like A Hurricane, Keep on Rockin’ In The Free World, Cortez The Killer, and Southern Man (excoriating the Antebellum south) - so many. I have missed more than I listed. I am among the thousands who will be so glad you did this one. Thank you!

This whole album is great.

Still holding out hope for a reaction to Stan Walker and the Levites (he opened for Beyonce when she toured Australia and New Zealand), ‘New Light’, or his cover of ‘Ultralight Beam’ are pretty awesome. Stay safe, take care you two! 🙏🏼❤️

Great fuckin choice, hats off to the guy who suggested it. Neil Young is an absolute Canadian legend!

Its in the movie American Beauty but its a cover version

Yes it was the 70's Cortez the killer is worth hearing❤️🌏🪐🍀🌕🙏🐝🦋🎶👣🦉💐

The man is a living legend, for very good reason.

This was probably recorded in the 1970s. Although I don't blame you for thinking it's the '80s as Neil Young was way ahead of his time. He stayed relevant from the 1960s till now and it's pretty incredible. Throughout his career rockstars have died and new ones have emerged, but Neil Young has stayed relevant throughout the times. He's actually had a very hard life and it's worth looking into.

Early 70's

Neil Young - Expecting to Fly

They played a cover of this at the end of American Beauty

It is a given that NEIL is a music legend.

☮️💜

This song come from a turbulent time. There was the Vietnam war, the struggle that the civil rights movement was going through, and the labor movement as well. It sounds pretty relevant for today.

☮️💙💙💙🔥😎

It was on his 1970 album "After the Gold Rush." Neil sings in his head voice and falsetto. But he is singing out of tune like Bob Dylan. There was the USA For Africa in which Michael Jackson and Lionel Ritchie wrote "We Are the World." That was the title track to the 1985 album. It was a charity album for the famine in Ethiopia in the early to mid-1980s. Northern Lights was the Canadian version of USA for Africa. They had their own song "Tears are No Enough" on the album. David Foster, one of the writers of the song, said Neil Young was flat. Someone said that's the way he sings. He sings flat/out of tune. Neil Young is highly regarded as one of the prolific songwriters of all-time. Many artists and musicians such as Kurt Cobain, Sonic Youth, and Noel Gallagher have talked about their love and respect for Neil. He's been called the "Godfather of Grunge." A lyrical poet. He's penned and written many a great song.

From the same album, made during the Nixon-Wallace era. When you? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EhSabv0pZqQ.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Df08X5irJ1U.html

Why this ?????? Should have done When You Dance .....need the electric Neil

Try this live Neil Young masterpiece: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JOuQywiRUJo.html

Need Electric Neil not just wimpy accoustic

So why the wimpy acoustic Neil!!!! Southern Man or Down By the River!!!! Do the electric stuff way better

Damn. It's out of synch.

Please stop judging true artists! I really think you don't have the right. Like I mean, can you even tune a guitar? No disrespect but do you do that to like movie stars, doctors, your favorite mechanic etc... critique them and interrupt them while they're doing their thing? lol Of course not! What is your criteria for how an artist sings or how good of a singer he or she is? I myself never question or rate the singers voice, and I'm a musician. Especially if they write and also sing and play multiple instruments at the same time. Like voice/guitar, harmonica/guitar, piano or keyboard/voice etc. Were you aware that before The Beatles broke it wide open one man songwriter/musician/singers were frowned upon. You had your stable of singers and your stable of writers. It was all controlled by the recording companies and the publishing/record label types. Anyway, getting back to some artists, they are more than just singers they are complete artists! They can do it all!!! Respect is the key word here. Sure there are singers that only sing and they're good singers like Celine Dionne and Whitney Houston. But, if there were only those types of singers in the world it would get pretty monotonous very quickly! Besides they can't write songs and they don't play any instruments either. So what I'm getting at is let's just let the artists do their thing and enjoy the musical talent and originality on display. Besides you don't tell your doctor how to diagnose illnesses, do you? Don't get me wrong, I love your channel and you two are great! Honestly!
