Neil Young - WORLD ON A STRING (Tonight's The Night)
You know I lose, you know I win
You know I call for the shape I'm in.
It's just a game you see me play,
Only real in the way
That I feel from day to day.
Although the answer is not unknown,
I'm searchin', searchin', and how I've grown.
It's not all right to say goodbye,
And the world on a string
Doesn't mean a thing.
No, the world on a string
Doesn't mean a thing.
It's only real in the way
That I feel from day to day.
No, the world on a string
Doesn't mean a thing.
Neil Young - World on a String (03:03)
from Unplugged Lyrics You know I lose, you know I win You know I call for the shape I'm in. It's
just a game you see me play, Only real in the way That I feel from day to day. Although the answer
is not unknown, I'm searchin', searchin', and how I've grown. It's not all right to say goodbye, And
the world on a string Doesn't mean a thing. No, the world on a string Doesn't mean a thing. It's
only real in the way That I feel from day to day. No, the world on a string Doesn't mean a thing....
It's from Tonight's the Night. It's about the heroin deaths of Bruce Berry and Danny Whitten converging with Neil's fame and everyone's expectation for him to make another Harvest while he's at his most popular.
Instead, he produced a series of yowling, vicious and dark records. And then alot of bizarre ones. =P

This solo version is at least as good as the record version. Pure soul.
