Neil Young - Hippie Dream video free download
From Landing On Water (1986)
-------------------------------------------
HIPPIE DREAM
Take my advice
Don't listen to me
It ain't paradise
But it used to be
There was a time
When the river was wide
And the water came running down
To the rising tide
But the wooden ships
Were just a hippie dream
Just a hippie dream.
Don't bat an eye
Don't waste a word
Don't mention nothin'
That could go unheard
'Cause the tie-dye sails
Are the screamin' sheets
And the dusty trail
Leads to blood in the streets
And the wooden ships
Are a hippie dream
Capsized in excess
If you know what I mean.
Just because it's over for you
Don't mean it's over for me
It's a victory for the heart
Every time the music starts
So please don't kill the machine
Don't kill the machine
Don't kill the machine.
Another flower child goes to seed
In an ether-filled room of meat-hooks
It's so ugly
So ugly.

I always loved this LP, released in '86 as I was transforming to a corporate engineer. Don't kill the machine!10 years ago

This is one of my favorite Neil records. I did not like it at first and it does take time to sink in. I advise all owners of this record to play it fairly often for a few weeks. It is a real grower but in different ways then his typical classics. It eventually hits home. So glad I got this 8 years ago. After the first listen I would have bet 1000bucks it would never mean more than being one album closer to having the Neil Young catalogue.10 years ago

Saw him perform this at Great Woods in Mansfield Mass. in 1997 with Crazy Horse. The song morphed into an improvised jam that went on for another 6 or 7 minutes, it was a classic Crazy Horse jam that I was lucky enough to witness.10 years ago

Saw CSN at Pine Knob, three weeks, I saw Neil Young and Crazy Horse. Because of legal entanglements, they couldn't tour as CSNY. But it didn't matter b/c while CSN was in rare form--Crosby just got out of jail--Young was absolutely THE SHIT. And Landing on Water is a vastly overlooked entry in the annals of rock and fucking roll.10 years ago

"Just because it over for you, don't mean it's over for me." What an awesome song. Neil and others of his generation carried the torch for so long; it's up to many of us to carry on the hippie dream. Neil was calling out all generations. Even at Red Rocks in 2012, he talked about plastic bottles and pollution. This awesome man will never give up. He's the best. The best. Thanks for the post.11 years ago

I just worked on the Benifit Show he did in NY's Central Park on the Great Meadow last week ,It was televised , and if you were lucky enough to see it , you can see how it just reaffirmed what we've agreed to , Neil never sucks ,in fact he was so fuckin great , I had goose bumbs just being there on the job . He performed with Crazy Hoarse ,and the Phoo Fighters ,etc11 years ago

This album was considered up to par for sure at the time of its release.It received substantial airplay,at least in Ny,and l personaly caught a show at The World ,a somwhat underground club on the lower east side (alphabet city) Lets just say ,to put it politely,Neil may have been a bit under the weather that particular performance,it was known to happen on occassion at his shows at hat time in history,but the greatness of the music was most definatly recognized,so Neil's music never sucked,,,12 years ago
