Biography

After Neil Young left the California folk rock band Buffalo Springfield in 1968, he slowly established himself as one of the most influential and idiosyncratic singer/songwriters of his generation. Young's body of work ranks second only to Bob Dylan in terms of depth, and he was able to sustain his critical reputation, as well as record sales, for a longer period of time than Dylan, partially because of his willfully perverse work ethic. From the beginning of his solo career in the late '60s through to the 21st century, he never stopped writing, recording, and performing; his official catalog only represented a portion of his work, since he kept countless tapes of unreleased songs in his vaults.

    Lyrics
    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

    Lyrics
    I caught you knockin' at my cellar door
    I love you, baby, can I have some more?
    Ooh, ooh, the damage done
    I hit the city and I lost my band
    I watched the needle take another man

    Southern man, better keep your head
    Don't forget what your good book said
