Artist/Band: Neil Young
Lyrics for Song: World On A String
Lyrics for Album: Unplugged [1993]



You know I lose,

you know I win

You know I call for

the shape I'm in.

It's just a game you

see me play,

Only real in the way

That I feel

from day to day.



Although the answer

is not unknown,

I'm searchin', searchin',

and how I've grown.

It's not all right

to say goodbye,

And the world on a string

Doesn't mean a thing.



No, the world on a string

Doesn't mean a thing.

It's only real in the way

That I feel from day to day.

No, the world on a string

Doesn't mean a thing.


World On A String

Neil Young's "World On A String" stands as a pivotal moment in his 1993 *Unplugged* recording, capturing the raw acoustic energy that defined the session. The track exemplifies Young's signature blend of folk-rock and country influences, characterized by his distinctive vocal delivery and intricate guitar work. Recorded without amplification, the song highlights the intimate atmosphere of the performance, allowing the natural textures of the instruments to take center stage. It reflects a period where Young continued to explore the boundaries of his catalog, merging traditional storytelling with a modern, stripped-down sonic approach. The composition remains a testament to his ability to convey deep emotion through minimal arrangement, solidifying its place within his extensive discography of acoustic explorations.
