Neil Young -“Through My Sails”

NY’s 1975 song is my song of 2018 – lots of brilliant new stuff in the musical cosmos ,but this is the one that meant the most to me personally – great playing, harmonies and lyrics, a simple song really but amazing nonetheless. It helped in some tough times, and was a friend to me…lyrics below:

Through My Sails

Still glaring from the city lights

Into paradise I soared

Unable to come down

For reasons I’d ignored

 

Total confusion

Disillusion

New things I’m knowing

 

I’m standing on the shoreline

It’s so fine out there

Leaving with the wind blowing

But love takes care

 

Know me, know me

Show me, show me

New things I’m knowing

 

Wind blowing through my sails

It feels like I’m gone

Leaving with the wind blowing

Through my sails
