Neil Young- Helpless (from Unplugged album)- I find this song incredibly moving; like most of Neil's early 70s work; it has a real heartbreaking, beautiful touch to it.



I just feel compelled to post the lyrics as well, I highlighted the lyrics which move me most:

There is a town in north ontario,
With dream comfort memory to spare,
And in my mind I still need a place to go
All my changes were there.


Blue, blue windows behind the stars,
Yellow moon on the rise,
Big birds flying across the sky,
Throwing shadows on our eyes
.
Leave us

Helpless, helpless, helpless
Baby can you hear me now?
The chains are locked and tied across the door,
Baby, sing with me somehow.

Blue, blue windows behind the stars,
Yellow moon on the rise,
Big birds flying across the sky,
Throwing shadows on our eyes.
Leave us

Helpless, helpless, helpless.
