Crazy Horse is best known for its long association with Young, despite having released five albums of its own over a 19-year span. It has been co-credited with Young as Neil Young and Crazy Horse on 15 albums, "Americana" and "Psychedelic Pill" from 2012 being the latest.
The band recorded a concept album entitled "Greendale" (2003) that told the story using metaphors of murder and crime to represent the destruction of a small town community. The final song "Be The Rain" is one of Neil's classic epics, pleading for the world to be like the rain -- recycle and conserve to save our planet.
Discography: the studio albums "Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere" (1969), "Zuma" (1975), "Rust Never Sleeps" (1979), "Re-ac-tor" (1981), "Life" (1987), "Ragged Glory" (1990), "Sleeps With Angels" (1994), "Broken Arrow" (1996), Greendale (2003), "Americana" (2012), Psychedelic Pill (2012) and live albums "Live Rust" (1979), "Weld" (1991), "Year of the Horse" (1997), "Live at the Fillmore East" (2006)

Neil Young & Crazy Horse Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That you've probably been cryin' forever
And the stars in the sky
Don't mean nothin' to you, they're a mirror
I don't wanna talk about it
How you broke my heart
If I stay here just a little bit longer
Whoa, whoa, heart
If I stand all alone
Will the shadow hide the color of my heart?
Blue for the tears, black for the nights we're apart
And the stars
Don't mean nothin' to you, they're a mirror
I don't wanna talk about it
How you broke my heart
If I stay here just a little bit longer
If I stay here, won't you listen to my heart?
Whoa, whoa, heart
My heart
Whoa, whoa, heart
I don't wanna talk about it
How you broke my heart
If I stay here just a little bit longer
If I stay here, won't you listen to my heart?
Whoa, whoa, heart
My heart
Whoa, whoa, heart
My heart
Whoa, whoa, heart
The lyrics to Neil Young & Crazy Horse's song "I Don't Wanna Talk About It" depict a narrator who is deeply hurt and heartbroken. The opening lines suggest the singer's ability to see the pain in someone else's eyes, implying a sense of empathy and understanding. The mention of crying forever implies a prolonged period of emotional anguish. The stars in the sky, usually seen as symbols of beauty and wonder, are described as meaningless and merely reflecting the singer's own pain.
The repetition of the line "I don't wanna talk about it, how you broke my heart" emphasizes the singer's reluctance to discuss their heartbreak. It indicates a desire to keep their emotions hidden and avoid confronting the painful reality of their shattered relationship. The plea to "listen to my heart" suggests a longing for someone to acknowledge and understand the depth of their pain.
The second verse brings forth the question of whether the shadow that the singer stands in will conceal the true color of their heart. "Blue for the tears, black for the nights we're apart" signifies the emotional toll of the separation and the deep sadness that permeates their existence. Once again, the stars are described as an indifferent reflection of their pain, further emphasizing the singer's loneliness and isolation.
Overall, the lyrics of this song express a profound sense of heartbreak, the desire to keep the pain hidden, and the longing for someone to truly listen and understand.
