Neil Young – Down By The River Lyrics 10 years ago
From spotted feather, the ability to express and demystify not just the lyrics, but the tone, the fear, or the joy in other words, the ability to hear the essence of the instrumental portion of any track is not something that everyone can interpret. I say to you and for your time and effort of your experience with Neil Young, "Well said". God bless!

Neil Young – Down By The River Lyrics 10 years ago
You know George Thorogood claimed to never use drugs and wasn't a drinker yet he constantly sang about that particular lifestyle. So to say that Neil Young wasn't talking about heroin no one can exactly say one way or another, but if you consider the last two lines of the song, "You take my hand, I'll take your hand, together we may get away". If he was referring to a physical relationship with a love of his life they would not be able to take each other's hand and together get away. Yet if he was talking about heroin, metaphorically........I think you can say that he was referring to heroin. But I would like to think that he is allowing the minds of each listener to interpret the song as it effects the soul of the individuals passion at the time of ones personal intervention.
