young neils Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hear what I have to say
Just like children sleepin'
We could dream this night away
But there's a full moon risin'
Let's go dancin' in the light
We know where the music's playin'
Because I'm still in love with you
I want to see you dance again
Because I'm still in love with you
On this harvest moon
When we were strangers
I watched you from afar
When we were lovers
I loved you with all my heart
But now it's gettin' late
And the moon is climbin' high
I want to celebrate
See it shinin' in your eye
Because I'm still in love with you
I want to see you dance again
Because I'm still in love with you
On this harvest moon
Because I'm still in love with you
I want to see you dance again
Because I'm still in love with you
On this harvest moon
The song "Harvest Moon" by Neil Young can be interpreted as a love song for his significant other. The lyrics "Come a little bit closer, hear what I have to say" creates an intimate setting for the song. The phrase "Just like children sleeping, we could dream this night away" is a metaphorical way of saying they could spend the entire night lost in each other's company. Young uses the full moon as a symbol of the perfect time to go out and do something special with his partner. The phrase "Let's go dancing in the light" could mean dancing under the moonlight or it could be taken as a metaphor for enjoying life and living in the moment.
It is evident that the couple in the song has a history. The lyrics "When we were strangers, I watched you from afar. When we were lovers, I loved you with all my heart" suggests that they have had ups and downs in their relationship, but through it all, their love has remained strong. Young uses the symbolism of a harvest moon to show his partner that he still loves her as much as the first time they met. He wants to see her happy by saying "I want to celebrate, see it shining in your eye." He clearly states that his feelings for her have not faded by saying "Because I'm still in love with you, I want to see you dance again."
Overall, "Harvest Moon" is a poetic expression of love that is meant to convey the beauty of the moment and the depth of feelings that Young has for his partner.

. . . There is just s o v e r y m u c h
... that we know so very little about .
And then in our depths of both grief
and ' n o t - k n o w I n g ' . . . this
c o m e s - t o p a s s , meant in it's
most literal sense ... it is not a coincidence - they do not exist .
She IS alive and well - for the both of you
dear fellows listed above - and all others
who know of such days and nights .
They know of our deepest sorrows and will
send ' s I g n s ' to reassure us that
' a l l i s w e l l ' .
No , I've never heard a Neil Young song
being played in a store or supermarket,
except just the once and that is one hell of a ratio .
It was ' H a r v e s t M o o n ' .

Not sure if any one’s gonna read this, but I’m 15 and started highschool recently and I have terrible anxiety. I listen to this song almost everynight before school and it calms me down so much. It’s like a routine now I always look forward to listening to this. Thanks neil young for this song 🧡 Edit: hey guys, I’m 16 now getting ready to be a sophomore. I have hope for this year wish me luck 🧡🧡

In the hallway between classes, stand off to the side for a moment or two. Look for someone with their head down, avoiding eye contact and just putting one foot in front of the other. See if you can find them after that class. Approach quietly and say to them "Hello, my name is Ginny. I feel the same way." See what happens. I have found that if I can connect/help someone else, my own anxiety quiets down a bit. Peace.
