Neil young harvest moon chords and lyrics12/19/2023 ![]() "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother our last name was Smith. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "What it feels to descend from the mountain top. ![]() Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. I'm not sure i really believe that, but I think it's worth considering. The "when we were strangers." verse all seems to be in past tense, including the "when we were lovers." This could mean that all that is in the past, yeah? The only other thought I might have is that he's visiting a old lover, someone he's not with but managed to stay on good terms with. However, if we're using the day as a metaphor for their life, wouldn't it make more sense for it to end when the sun goes down? And why would he want to dance just as the moon comes up? I'm not sure I'm with this theory. ![]() Certainly a Harvest Moon is red, which could indicate blood and death. It may have a longer term meaning as well. But he's still in love with them, and still loves to dance. He's been with this person a long time, I think, perhaps has even married them and had kids. ![]() It sort of has an immediate meaning, I think. But guess what, I didn't come into this or any other topic and do it, because it's obnoxious. And what's with the list? I could probably name 50 songs I like better than this one too. Sveden, why did you come onto this song's page and say all that? You didn't even say why you didn't like the song, you just said "it's a lame, wussy song." I'm sorry, but acting like having feelings is lame doesn't make you cool. While I realize it's silly to chastise someone for something they said almost a year ago. I do not think the separation is particularly desired by either party. I understand this song as a deep love that will always exist, though the two involved were separated and probably always will be. ![]() I feel that this just also correlates to the fact that years have passed between their being together, and he wants their reuniting to be wondrous, ethereal - such like childlike dreams. He is reflecting upon this intense love that he still feels in his older years for a person he wishes to be with again, even if briefly for a single evening/dance.Īnother line: "Just like children sleepin', We could dream this night away" is also being interpreted too literally. I believe the harvest moon parallels a calendar year to the seasons of life.suggesting that his life is soon ending. This song is not about a marriage or couple, but rather an all-consuming (perhaps unrequited) love that still exists. "When we were lovers, I loved you with all my heart" clarifies that the relationship is in the past. I agree with the above comment by lazyesq. ![]()
