Helpless (Neil Young) : Lyrics,Video

"Helpless" is a song written by Canadian singer-songwriter Neil Young, most famously recorded by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young on their 1970 album Déjà Vu.

"Helpless" was originally recorded with Young's band Crazy Horse in early 1969, before Young's new CSNY bandmates (he had joined the then-trio in mid-1969) convinced him it would suit them better. The song was simple, at its core effectively the repetition of one melody over a descending D-A-G chord progression, but despite (or perhaps because of) its simplicity the group found difficulty deciding on an arrangement and many different versions of the song were recorded before the group finally decided on the slow-paced version that appeared on the album.

BUFFY SAINTE-MARIE HELPLESS LYRICS

There is a town in north ontario,
With dream comfort memory to spare,
And in my mind I still need a place to go,
All my changes were there.

Blue, blue windows behind the stars,
Yellow moon on the rise,
Big birds flying across the sky,
Throwing shadows on our eyes.
Leave us

Helpless, helpless, helpless
Baby can you hear me now?
The chains are locked and tied across the door,
Baby, sing with me somehow.

Blue, blue windows behind the stars,
Yellow moon on the rise,
Big birds flying across the sky,
Throwing shadows on our eyes.
Leave us

Helpless, helpless, helpless.

Academy Award-winning singer and songwriter Buffy Sainte-Marie looked radiant in a Paul Hardy two-piece rock glam dress created from red cotton silk. The top corset was fully boned with an off-the-shoulder asymmetrical neckline, styled with a pleated mini-skirt. Fingerless leather gloves and studded sky-high stilettos rounded up her entire look.

"The dress is unbelievable. He really knocked himself out for us," says Sainte-Marie, who is taking a break from her world tour to participate in the event. "I'm trying to be involved in things in my own creation: educational projects, Aboriginal projects, and this is the first time that I'm part of a global health initiative and it's very important to me."

"In the '60s, it was possible to be eclectic and love music from all over the world. And with the Internet that's possible again. There was a long dark time in between when our years were full of potato chips and bacon and corporate music, but now it's possible to make intelligent choices in what we eat and how we treat each other and how much we can appreciate the multiplicity of arts."

Up Where We Belong - Lyrics

Who knows what tomorrow brings
in a world where few hearts survive
All I know is the way I feel
When it's real
I keep it alive

The road is long
There are mountains in the way
but we climb a step every day

Love lift us up where we belong
where the eagles cry
on a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong
far from the world we know
up where the clear winds blow

Some hang on to used to be
live their lives looking behind
When all we have is here and now
All our lives
out there to find

The road is long
There are mountains in the way
but we climb a step every day

Love lift us up where we belong
where the eagles cry
on a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong
far from the world we know
up where the clear winds blow

Time goes by
No time to cry
Life's you and I
Alive... today

Love lift us up where we belong
where the eagles cry
on a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong
far from the world we know
up where the clear winds blow

Universal Soldier Video Live & Lyrics

I wanted it to get people out of their classrooms and onto their feet. But certain things I have to say are pitched at too high a level to bring any lasting benefit to as many people as I would like to bring it to. If I have something of myself that gets me off, that's brought me through hard times and that refreshes and nourishes me, what good does it do if I'm not smart enough to get it to the people? And I don't mean only the people who are like me, I mean all the people. That's communication. There's no sense being a closet genius. It doesn't do me any good to keep the medicine in the bottle.
Buffy Sainte-Marie

He's five foot two and he's six foot four
He fights with missiles and with spears
He's all of 31 and he's only 17
He's been a soldier for a thousand years
He's a Catholic, a Hindu, an atheist a Jain,
A Buddhist, and a Baptist and a Jew
And he knows he shouldn't kill and he knows he always will
Kill you for me, my friend, and me for you
He's fighting for Canada. He's fighting for France. He's fighting for the USA and he's fighting for the Russians and he's fighting for Japan
And he thinks he'll put an end to war this way
He's fighting for democracy, he's fighting for the Reds
He's says it’s for the peace of all
He's the one who must decide who's to live and who's to die
And he never sees the writing on the wall
But without him how would Hitler have condemned him at Dachau
Without him Caesar would have stood alone.
He's the one who gives his body as a weapon to a war
And without him all this killing can't go on
He's the universal soldier and he is really is to blame
But his orders come from far away no more
They come from him and you and me
and Brothers, can't you see this is not the way to put an end to war?

The Partisan : Video (live 2008), Lyrics, Album

"Partisan" as a name has no gender, neither in French nor English. After all this "complaint" is more a human song than a warrior song; and indeed, in all countries oppressed, resistance is not a matter of sex, but includes both men and women.

THE PARTISAN

When they poured across the border
I was cautioned to surrender
This I could not do
I took my gun and vanished.

No one asks me when I'm going
No one asks me what I'm doing
Comrade, you who know
Oh, you must keep my secret.

I have changed my name so often
I've lost my wife and children
But I have many friends
And some of them are with me

An old woman gave us shelter
Kept us hidden in the garret
Then the soldiers came
She died without a whisper.

There were three of us this morning
I'm the only one this evening
But I must go on
The frontiers are my prison.

Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing
Through the graves the wind is blowing
Freedom soon will come
Then we'll come from the shadows.

She Used to Wanna Be a Ballerina
