No Hidden Path
Neil Young · Other Songs - Neil Young
Among the tall trees
I feel the light comin' down on me
Under moon, under sun
I feel the chosen one
Through the mist, come walkin' here with me
And the leaves on the ground
Make a rustling sound
In the wind now blowing in my face
It's that cool wind again
And I feel my missing friend
Whose counsel I can never replace
Show me the way and I'll follow you today
Show me the way and I'll follow you today
Show me the way
No more darkness. No more wasted time
Show me the way
Let me stay here with this heart of mine
And with you I feel no hidden path
No hidden path
No hidden path
No hidden path
No hidden path
No hidden path
How you change, how you change
And how you rearrange
Everything that touches me
Now you're her, now you're her
And she's sleeping here with me
Everything that touches me
Ocean sky, sea of blue
Let the sand wash over you
Giving all that you can give
Will the northern lights still play
As we walk our distant days
Giving all that we can give
Show me the way and I'll follow you today
Show me the way and I'll follow you today
Show me the way
There's a cold wind, blowin' through my mind
Show me the way
But I'm holdin' on to the threads of time
And with you I feel no hidden path
No hidden path
No hidden path
No hidden path
Will the northern lights still play as we walk our distant days
Ocean sky, sea of blue, let the sun wash over you
Will the northern lights still play as we walk our distant days
Ocean sky, sea of blue, let the sun wash over you
Will the northern lights still play as we walk our distant days
Ocean sky, sea of blue, let the sun wash over you
No Hidden Path
No Hidden Path stands as a testament to Neil Young's enduring commitment to acoustic storytelling and introspective songwriting. The track captures the artist's signature blend of folk and rock sensibilities, showcasing his ability to convey deep emotion through sparse instrumentation and raw vocal delivery. While often associated with his extensive catalog of solo work, the song reflects the same earnest quality found in his most celebrated recordings. Young's approach here avoids unnecessary embellishment, focusing instead on the direct communication of personal experience and observation. This recording remains a compelling example of his craft, inviting listeners to engage with the narrative without distraction. It fits seamlessly within his broader discography, reinforcing his status as a vital voice in American music who continues to explore themes of life, nature, and human connection with unwavering authenticity.
