This is a the name of an album that Neil Young made in 1978. It's mostly his folky acoustic kinda stuff, but Crazy Horse appears on two of ten songs. There's a bunch of real good songs on it, and the late great Nicolette Larson chimes in on a few of them. Their voices aren't ideally suited to each other, but it works and Larson's fun to listen to: Back then, people who could really sing really sang. It's one of Neil's sober-and-well-rehearsed efforts, very clear and clean and well put together. There are strings on a few songs, and on "Goin' Back" I'm pretty sure there's a synthesizer in the background in spots. Odd.
Nicolette Larson had a hit on her own with "Lotta Love", released the same year.
There's a picture of Neil on the front, grinning with a steel string among the tools of his trade: Microphones and beer cans.
"Comes a Time" is also the "title track" of the album, and we will share the lyric thereto just as soon as we've contemplated the track listing:
- Goin' Back
- Comes a Time
- Look Out for My Love (with Crazy Horse)
- Lotta Love (with Crazy Horse)
- Peace of Mind
- Human Highway
- Already One
- Field of Opportunity
- Motorcycle Mama
- Four Strong Winds (A cover, by God: Ian Tyson wrote it, in 1963. Damned if I know why. Cool song, though.)
"Comes a Time": I told you I'd give you the lyric, did I not? And here it is. I restored the 'g's on the "ing"s: Decency required it, though the lyric sheet replaces them with apostrophes.
Comes a time when you're drifting
Comes a time when you settle down.
Comes a light feeling's lifting
Lift that baby right up off the ground.
Oh, this old world keeps spinning 'round
It's a wonder tall trees ain't laying down
There comes a time . . .
You and I, we were captured
We took our souls and we flew away.
We were right, we were giving:
That's how we kept what we gave away.
Oh, this old world keeps spinning 'round
It's a wonder tall trees ain't laying down
There comes a time . . .
