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)
Lookin' For Love
Neil Young & Crazy Horse Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I haven't met her yet
She'll be nothing like I pictured her to be
In her eyes I will discover
Another reason why
I want to live and make the best of what I see
Where the sun hits the water
There's a beach that I walk along sometimes
And maybe there I'll meet her
And we'll start to say "hello"
And never stop to think of any other time
Looking' for a love that's right for me
I don't know how long it's gonna be
But I hope I treat her kind
And don't mess with her mind
When she starts to see the darker side of me
Looking' for a love that's right for me
I don't know how long it's gonna to be
But I hope I treat her kind
And don't mess with her mind
When she starts to see the darker side of me
I've been looking for a lover
But I haven't met her yet
She'll be nothing like I pictured her to be
In her eyes, I will discover
Another reason why
I want to live and make the best of what I see
Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah (don't mess with her mind)
Ah, ah, ah (when she starts to see the darker side of me)
In Neil Young's song "Lookin' for a Love," he speaks about his search for a perfect lover. He confesses that he has been trying to find the right person, but he hasn't met her yet. The lyrics speak about his desire to find someone who understands him, accepts him for who he is, and loves him unconditionally.
He acknowledges that his perfect love may not be exactly what he has pictured in his mind. His dream girl might have qualities that he hasn't even thought of yet, and he is waiting and hoping to discover them.
The second verse of the song hints at the location where Neil Young might find his perfect love, somewhere along the beach where the mountains meet the sand. He imagines meeting her there and starting a conversation with her that will lead them to never wanting to leave each other's side.
The chorus of the song is a plea to the universe, and it is a message to himself as well, to be kind and not mess with her mind when his darker side begins to surface. He knows that no one is perfect, but he hopes that he will treat his perfect love kindly and be accepting of her flaws as well.
