13. Neil Young & Crazy Horse – Walk Like A Giant
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychedelic_Pill
Psychedelic Pill is the thirty-fifth studio album by Canadian musician Neil Young. It was released on October 30, 2012.[1] This is the second release of a Neil Young collaboration with Crazy Horse in 2012, and their first original work together since the Greendale album and tour in 2003 and 2004.[2] The album was streamed on Young’s website on October 24, 2012,[3] and leaked onto the Internet the same day.[4]
At 87 minutes, „Psychedelic Pill“ is Neil Young’s longest album and only studio album to span two discs.[5] Many of the songs on the album came out of extended jam sessions with Crazy Horse after „Americana“ was recorded. The opening track „Driftin‘ Back“ makes references to Young’s new memoir „Waging Heavy Peace“ and his disdain for MP3s in between extended jamming. Another of the album’s epic tracks, „Walk Like a Giant“ laments how his generation was unable to change the world („We were ready to save the world / But then the weather changed.“) Elsewhere on the album he recalls listening to Bob Dylan’s „Like a Rolling Stone“ and The Grateful Dead on the radio („Twisted Road“), and his Canadian roots („Born in Ontario“).[6] The Rolling Stone review noted that the riff and lyrics of the album’s title track share similarities with Young’s previous work such as „Cinnamon Girl.“ That track also features the recording being filtered with a „phaser“ effect, giving it a „psychedelic“ feel (although the alternate mix removes the effect).
Walk Like A Giant
Tried to have for long and strain
We were riding on a desert wind
We were pulling in the spiritual
Riding on the desert wind
We could see it in the distance
Getting closer every minute
We saw the lights and spiritual shining
Getting closer every minute
Then we skipped the rails, and we started to fail
And we folded you, and it’s not enough
Think about how close we came
I wanna walk like a giant on the land
I wanna walk like a giant on the land
Whenever I see the big fire coming,
Coming to burn down all my ideas
I try to hold down to my thinking, and remember how it feels
When I’m looking right in your eyes
And hearing your happy laugh
When I’m seeing your blue eyes shining
And hear your happy laugh
So the moment came, and the big sky rained and
And a pool of fire served in my desire
When I think about how good it feels
I wanna walk like a giant on the land
I wanna walk like a giant on the land
