Neil Young · Other Songs - Neil Young
Begin to holler all around the bend.
We will smile and sail away
This won't be no sadness day
When the winter winds
greet the trees back there.
We can watch the turbine
turning in the wind
Up on the ridge line,
before the fog rolls in.
Falling leaves in the autumn air
People feeling good everywhere
When the winter winds greet
the trees back there.
We can watch the turbine
blowing in the wind
Up on the ridge line,
before the fog rolls in.
We will smile and sail away.
This won't be no sadness day
When the winter winds
greet the trees back there.
Turbine
Neil Young's "Turbine" stands as a stark, atmospheric piece from his extensive discography, characterized by his signature raw vocal delivery and minimalist instrumentation. The track exemplifies Young's ability to blend folk sensibilities with a darker, more industrial edge, often found in his later works where he explores themes of isolation and mechanical decay. Without a traditional album context, the song functions as a standalone statement within his broader body of work, reflecting his ongoing commitment to exploring the human condition through sound. Its enduring presence in his catalog highlights his versatility as an artist who consistently pushes boundaries, creating recordings that resonate with listeners seeking authenticity and emotional depth over polished production.
