Neil Young - After The Gold Rush
About | Information | History | Online | Facts | Discovery
From After The Gold Rush (1970) --------------------------------------------- AFTER THE GOLD RUSH 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.

I love you Neil. Thank you for the beautiful music. They will stick with me until I die, and I hope after that too.

It is serendipity that brings me to this song today and the strings of comments. What I see clearly is that the psychopaths (who are destroying everything precious in life) have nearly succeeded in tearing apart the social fabric of those who believe in health and wholeness. We must never give in to a sense of separation, of failure... or to cede to desperation. The time to believe in the deepest truths is nigh. That choice is ours to make. Act with courage.

Look at mother nature on the run in the 2017

The year was 1977.I was only 15 years old and already in first year college. We were in a college military training camp. I was lying on the grass staring at a starry night skies and this song is playing in my casette player. Ah, seems like yesterday, when every dream might still come true. Wish I could come back in time and do it all over again.

I also like the version by Emmylou Harris / Dolly Parton / Linda Ronstadt.

Only Neil Young knows what this song is about. But it is a great song.

I will never tire of this song. It was released in 1970; I was then 12 yo. I am beginning to understand it better, now that I am 58 years old (!). Nature is even more now "on the run". The Great Barrier Reef is ~33% dead, and both Pacific and Atlantic oceans have gigantic "garbage patches" of man made material. "Whatever we do to the Web of Life, we do the same to ourselves". It does not matter a speck of duck dung who actually said that; it is true and our children's future depends on our acknowledging the Web of Life.
