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 ↴
There's a woman that I'd like to get to know livin' there
Everybody seems to wonder, what it's like down here
I gotta get away from this day to day runnin' around
Everybody knows this is nowhere
Everybody, everybody knows, everybody knows
Every time I think about back home, it's cool and breezy
Everybody seems to wonder, what it's like down here
I gotta get away from this day to day runnin' around
Everybody knows this is nowhere
Everybody, everybody knows, everybody knows
Neil Young's "Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere" is a song about a man who is feeling lost and out of place in his current surroundings. He longs to go back home and take it easy, away from the hustle and bustle of city life. The song is about the search for purpose and meaning in life, something that many people can relate to.
The song's lyrics speak to the idea that everyone is searching for something in life, whether it's a place to call home or a sense of belonging. The repetition of the phrase "everybody knows" speaks to the universality of this search. Despite this commonality, however, the man in the song feels alone and alienated from those around him.
The song's lyrics also paint a picture of the character's home as a place of peace and tranquility, a stark contrast to the chaos of his current surroundings. He longs to be there, just passing time and taking it easy. Ultimately, the song is about the human desire for connection and understanding, something that can sometimes feel elusive in the modern world.
Line by Line Meaning
I think I'd like to go back home, and take it easy
I want to return to my hometown and relax
There's a woman that I'd like to get to know livin' there
There is a lady in my hometown that I want to meet and connect with
Everybody seems to wonder, what it's like down here
Everyone is curious about this place I am currently in
I gotta get away from this day to day runnin' around
I need to escape from my routine and hectic lifestyle
Everybody knows this is nowhere
Everyone recognizes that this place has nothing to offer me, and I am not happy here.
Everybody, everybody knows, everybody knows
Everyone, without an exception, knows that this is a terrible place, and I can't stay here any longer.
