(50,983 posts)I have always wondered what the lyrics meant. It creates a story in your head.
I get the image of slow moving stern wheeler, a steam boat, coming up river to lay down the law. The kid on the dock is one of a group of renegades of some kind. He has a battered old, heavy, long barreled flintlock rifle.

Think I'll go out to Alberta, weather's good there in the fall
I got some friends that I could go to working for
Still I wish you'd change your mind,
If I asked you one more time
But we've been through this a hundred times or more
Four strong winds that blow lonely, seven seas that run high
All those things that don't change, come what may
If the good times are all gone, and I'm bound for moving on
I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way.
If I get there before the snow flies, and if things are looking good
You could meet me if I sent you down the fare
But by then it would be winter, not too much for you to do
And those winds sure can blow cold way out there
Four strong winds that blow lonely, seven seas that run high
All those things that don't change, come what may
If the good times are all gone, so I'm bound for moving on
I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way.

I'll look for you if I'm ever pass this way

(3,569 posts)PTR is his best band ever IMO. I know Neil has never shared the stage with another guitar player who could jam like Lukas.....Deep cuts all tour and some sick ass jamming between Niel and Lukas (and occasionally Micah too!)

(...unless you count MAD Magazine's "Ballad of the Kent State Killers"!)

(8,825 posts)I saw CSNY at Winterland November 1969; it was a Bill Graham anti-war benefit for the Moratorium Day street protests in San Francisco (and DC etc.) - at the time they were the largest street protects in the history of the USA and maybe still are.

(50,983 posts)That is some version of Down By the River!

(10,109 posts)I have been a fan, but not a huge fan. I've listened to Greendale hundreds of times and my respect for him grew immensely have listening to it. It is a whole story album that is cool. I have the live Amsterdam version. Modern story, but still has some hippy vibeness.
Falling From Above
Double E
Devil's Sidewalk
Leave the Driving
Carmichael
Well, I guess I could just list all the songs from it.

(50,983 posts)1995 was a very good Farm Aid performance by Neil and his friends. And that was a special performance of Sugar Mountain with Willy.
