Neil Percival Young OC OM (born November 12, 1945) is a Canadian-American singer-songwriter, musician, and activist. After embarking on a
music career in the 1960s, he moved to Los Angeles, joining Buffalo
Springfield with Stephen Stills,
Richie Furay and others. Since his early solo albums and those with his backing
band Crazy
Horse, Young has been prolific, recording a steady
stream of studio and live albums.
Young has received several Grammy and Juno Awards.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inducted him
twice: in 1995 as a solo artist and in 1997 as a member of Buffalo Springfield.
In 2000, Rolling Stone named Young the 34th greatest rock 'n roll artist. His guitar work,
deeply personal lyricsand signature tenor singing voice define his long career. He also plays piano and
harmonica on many albums, which frequently combine folk,
rock,
country and other musical styles. His often distorted electric guitar
playing, especially with Crazy Horse, earned him the nickname "Godfather of Grunge" and
led to his 1995 album Mirror Ball with Pearl Jam.
More recently he has been backed by Promise of the Real.
His 21 albums and singles have been certified Gold and Platinum in U.S by RIAA
certification.
Young directed (or co-directed) films using
the pseudonym Bernard Shakey, including Journey Through the Past (1973), Rust Never Sleeps (1979), Human
Highway (1982), Greendale (2003), and CSNY/Déjà
Vu (2008). He also contributed to the
soundtracks of the films Philadelphia (1993) and Dead Man (1995).
Young has lived in California since the 1960s
but retains Canadian citizenship. He was awarded the Order of Manitoba on July 14, 2006, and was made an Officer of the Order of Canada on December 30, 2009. He became a United States citizen, taking dual citizenship, on January 22, 2020.
Mirror Ball is the 21st studio album by
Canadian musician Neil Young,
and features members of American rock band Pearl Jam.
It was released on August 7, 1995 through Reprise
Records. The album has been certified gold by the RIAA in the
United States.
I'm an accident
I was driving way too fast
Couldn't stop though
So I let the moment last
I'm for rollin'
I'm for tossin' in my sleep
It's not guilt though
It's not the company I keep
People my age
They don't do the things I do
They go somewhere
While I run away with you
I got my friends
And I got my children too
I got her love
She's got my love too
I can't hear you
But I feel the things you say
I can't see you
But I see what's in my way
Now I'm floatin'
Cause I'm not tied
to the ground
Words I've spoken
Seem to leave a hollow sound
On the long plain
See the rider in the night
See the chieftain
See the braves
in cool moonlight
Who will love them
When they take another life
Who will hold them
When they tremble
for the knife
Voicemail numbers
On an old computer screen
Rows of lovers
Parked forever in a dream
Screaming sirens
Echoing across the bay
To the old boats
From the city far away
Homeless heroes
Walk the streets
of their hometown
Rows of zeros
On a field
that's turning brown
They play baseball
They play football
under lights
They play card games
And we watch them every night
Need distraction
Need romance and candlelight
Need random violence
Need entertainment tonight
Need the evidence
Want the testimony of
Expert witnesses
On the brutal crimes of love
I was too tired
To see the news
when I got home
Pulled the curtain
Fell into bed alone
Started dreaming
Saw the rider once again
In the doorway
Where she stood
and watched for him
Watched for him
I'm not presente
I'm a drug
that makes you dream
I'm an aerostar
I'm a cutlass supreme
In the wrong lane
Trying to turn
against the flow
I'm the ocean
I'm the giant undertow
I'm the ocean
I'm the ocean
I'm the giant undertow
I'm the ocean
I'm the giant undertow
I'm the ocean
I'm the ocean
I'm the ocean
I'm the ocean
I'm the ocean
I'm the ocean.
