After the Goldrush by Neil YOung Hi! I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas on what this song is about?
Well, I dreamed I saw the knights In armor coming, Saying something about a queen. There were peasants singing and Drummers drumming And the archer split the tree. There was a fanfare blowing To the sun That was floating on the breeze. Look at Mother Nature on the run In the nineteen seventies. Look at Mother Nature on the run In the nineteen seventies. I was lying in a burned out basement With the full moon in my eyes. I was hoping for replacement When the sun burst thru the sky. There was a band playing in my head And I felt like getting high. I was thinking about what a Friend had said I was hoping it was a lie. Thinking about what a Friend had said I was hoping it was a lie. Well, I dreamed I saw the silver Space ships flying In the yellow haze of the sun, There were children crying And colors flying All around the chosen ones. All in a dream, all in a dream The loading had begun. They were flying Mother Nature's Silver seed to a new home in the sun. Flying Mother Nature's Silver seed to a new home. | |

A fairly common theme with Mr Young - it's about (or allegedly about) the balance between nature and technology / care for the earth versus destruction of the earth etc.
You'll find more info on it here : http://www.thrasherswheat...t/atgr.htm Lemmy, Bowie, Prince, Leonard. RIP. |
