Old man, look at my life
I'm a lot like you were
Old man, look at my life
I'm a lot like you were
Old man, look at my life
Twenty-four and there's so much more
Live alone in a paradise
That makes me think of two
Love lost, such a cost
Give me things that don't get lost
Like a coin that won't get tossed
Rolling home to you
Old man, take a look at my life. I'm a lot like you
I need someone to love me the whole day through
Ah, one look in my eyes and you can tell that's true
Lullabies, look in your eyes
Run around the same old town
Doesn't mean that much to me
To mean that much to you
I've been first and last
Look at how the time goes past
But I'm all alone at last
Rolling home to you
Old man, take a look at my life. I'm a lot like you
I need someone to love me the whole day through
Ah, one look in my eyes and you can tell that's true

A great album.
Classic!
When he wrote this he was still a bit of a kid with no cred.

The h8rhater hating on JRE, and why, cuz he, like me and (sadly ) only 25% of AMERICANs knew c19 was nothing to worry about, much less inject mRNA poison into our bodies?

Seems like he should sing a sequel to this called Young Man, looking back the other way.

One of Neil's old jewels from his, and my early days. I supposed then I was his biggest dutch fan. But confess honestly he lost me somehow after album Prairy Wind, the songs became too less daring, boring, homely, un-adventurious. (a few exceptions). But I still respect the man very much and follow his present music (with less enthousiasm). N> is a hoarder of his 10.000 old recordings, tryings and puts it all out into internet to sell. Well, ..... he must have his reasons. He remains my music- hero. PK
I still love hearing this gem... I remember being 10 or so, and this was on the radio, and thinking, he sings kinda funny, but he sure can put a song together that sticks in the mind like no other. I've seen him a bunch of times, and I am grateful for his immortal musical legacy. The Earth needs more souls like Neil!

This song probably showcases all of the characteristics that cause fans to love him and others, um, not to:
Plinky one-note guitar solo.
“Screechy” vocals.
Magic to me, and to many.
Anathema to others, yeah, I get that.
Harmonies and that awesome pedal steel guitar take it up another couple of notches.

A Neil Young song I like. I like a lot.
One of my favorite Neil Young songs, he is one of my "heroes". Could convince my music friends to play this (and others) together, love it ...

I was thinking there would be some insight into a young man and an old man connecting, but no, it's just old and young wanting to be loved the whole day through. Great music though.

God, I love this track. The vocals, the lyrics, the banjo, it's songwriting perfection.
I just don’t understand how people can dislike this song - it’s got it all. And with an average rating of 8.5, seems like many agree…

Probably my favorite Neil Young song. Even more favorite when my son (guitar) and I (bass) play it together. We learned it a few years ago. This year he's 24. I love connecting with him musically, and this song really does that.
Curmudgeons of the world come unite. What a man. 1982 Trans tour, Wembley UK left me with 24 hours of tinnitus.

Going on 50 years ago now. This brings back memories, good and bad. They were simpler times, but harder times. you had to have been there. the economy positively sucked by '73.gas lines, the war still going, men were still dying, but we had our music.
Timeless Beauty
I find this song one of the best I’ve ever heard

Bought this album when it first came out and listened to it a lot before I realized I didn't like it all that much. But this track gets a bonus tick for the banjo and the whole album gets a bonus for the recording quality and engineering.
God, how did he write and perform this when he was so young? What a song.

Maybe the first song I ever loved and still up near the top.
It's just beautiful.
I'm pretty sure this has entered my Top 25 songs of all time. If it can still give you chills after 100 listens, you know it's an incredible, lyrical piece.
Just love Neil Young's music but of all his great works, this remains towards the top.
I also love that Neil Young has never sold out, never produced that dribble that most musicians fall into - true artist and one of our finest lyricists.

"I'm a lot like you were."
This makes me feel old, heard it first in my early 20's, 20 years after it's release. Learned to play it on the guitar at the time. Timeless.
It was a long time ago when I turned 24 and was singing the lyric "Old man take a look at my life." I am now the old man.

Thanks mr. young for being here at the right time

kind of cool all the associations this song still conjures up. It's kind of walking barefoot through dewey grass on your way home after an absolute bender with some friends in a hay barn somewhere when you should have been home doing your homework, preparing for LIFE, when all you really wanted to do was go out and live it. So you did.

The quirky, bent way he plays the guitar, the quirky, bent way that he sings; the absolute mastery of the unified expressions of music...
Very, very nice!
hope Linda is doin ok, i worry
my kids love this too (proud father)
My 15 year old daughter just told me that this is one of her all time favourite songs. Must have done something right educating her about music. Therefore just raised my rating from 9 to 10, a rating I've given only once before.

It's a great story behind this song - it is autobiographical, you know. Neil tells the story nearly every time he plays it live. The 'old man' was a real person.
To quote Neil:
"About that time when I wrote "Heart Of Gold", and I was touring, I had also -- just, you know, being a rich hippie for the first time -- I had purchased a ranch, and I still live there today. And there was a couple living on it that were the caretakers, an old gentleman named Louis Avila and his wife Clara. And there was this old blue Jeep there, and Louis took me for a ride in this blue Jeep. He gets me up there on the top side of the place, and there's this lake up there that fed all the pastures, and he says, "Well, tell me, how does a young man like yourself have enough money to buy a place like this?" And I said, "Well, just lucky, Louie, just real lucky." And he said, "Well, that's the darndest thing I ever heard." And I wrote this song for him."

... he's lending his voice up here in the new year in support of the First Nations and their opposition to the oilsands development with 4 concerts and proceeds going to help the Aboriginals fight thereof. Sing it Neil.

Well, it's nice that some of you younger folk like a song that was dedicated to us old men. Thanks!!!

I've been looping this song for a whole two days now, and I just can't get enough of it. It's just not this song that's great either, it's the whole Harvest album. I had never really appreciated Young's work up until now, and I can say that I feel a little bit ashamed because of it.
As a compensation, let me bump this up to 10 from 9, it's the least I can do besides buy the album.

Always sounds so fine to hear those first ringing notes leap out of the speakers any old time of year, any time, any day or night... The picking, the bass line, the steel guitar, the strumming, the lyrics, the unique style; truly one of the most sublime and timeless songs ever...
Great music!
Reminds me of my old stoney days driving pharmaceuticalsto old people residents home
oldfart48 - what is it with you running around the ratings threads calling every one from Neil Young to Tom Petty "bubblegummi"? Is that your new trendy term du jour? If you had any actual musical common sense, you'd reserve that moniker for stuff like Abba and Britney Spears.
Also, don't use a word unless you know how to spell it correctly, i.e., 'pretentious'. It makes you look ignorant.

Limited like Dylan, Randy Newman, etc; creators of a whole song -- integrating theme, voice, time, space, and not just words and instrumentation. Let's hope for more limited folks like these.

Massey Hall in 71 live recording is a great album.

It was recorded right when Harvest was being released, so no one clapped for all the hits on it.
Yes -- especially Cowgirl in the Sand. Even better acoustic. Believe it or don't.

About as awesome as a song can get; one that may be destined to be sung by those hundreds of years from now, like a Folk Hymn...
I recall that even as a kid, 10 or 11 when it came out and was all over the airwaves, the rhymes and progressions were simple enough, and yet essential and instantly timelessly CLASSIC.
I still feel the same!
Headed to see Neil and Crazy Horse THIS SUNDAY AT RED ROCKS AND CAN HARDLY WAIT!

64 and there's not much more.....ha - I could NOT resist changing the lyrics to what he'd be singing now!
Outstandingly great song.
A nice fellow on the forums suggested I throw out this YTube moment I was lucky to share with my daughter a couple of Christmas evenings ago. One take. Tried to do Mr. Young's tune some justice.

A campfire staple on the old gee-tar. I love that my kids sing along and know all the words.
The older I get the better Neil Young gets.

Forty years ago!
Whenever I sit down with my guitar and someone says "play a song for me"....I always start with this one. Been a favourite of mine for 40 years.
