Neil Young - Speakin' Out Lyrics






I went to the movie
the other night,
The plot was groovy,
it was out of sight.
I sat with my popcorn,
out lookin' for good times
Lost in the cartoon,
I grabbed the lifeline.

I've been a searcher,
I've been a fool,
But I've been a long time
comin' to you.
I'm hopin' for your love
to carry me through
You're holdin' my baby,
and I'm holdin' you,
And it's all right.

Oh, tell me where
the answer lies.
Is it in the notebook
behind your eyes?
When your decision
comes to view,
I'll be watchin' my TV,
and it'll be watchin' you.

I've been a searcher,
I've been a fool,
But I've been a long time
comin' to you.
I'm hopin' for your love
to carry me through
You're holdin' my baby,
and I'm holdin' you,
Yes I am.

Speakin' out.

    Verse 1]
    I went to the movie
    The other night
    The plot was groovy
    It was out of sight
    I sat with my popcorn
    Out looking for good times
    Lost in the cartoon
    I grabbed the lifeline

    [Chorus]
    I've been a searcher
    I've been a fool
    But I've been a long time coming to you
    I'm hoping for your love to carry me through
    You're holding my baby and I'm holding you
    And it's all right

    [Verse 2]
    Oh, tell me where the answer lies
    Is it in the notebook
    Behind your eyes?
    When your decision
    Comes to view
    I'll be watching my TV
    And it'll be watching you

    [Chorus]
    I've been a searcher
    I've been a fool
    But I've been a long time coming to you
    I'm hoping for your love to carry me through
    You're holding my baby and I'm holding you
    Yes I am
    Speaking out

    😁💯🎼❣️🤞🏻😄🍍🤞🏻😊🐄❤️🐝

  6. A.... N....

    Love crazy horse and the early to mid 70s Neil. American stars n bars. Old ways in the 80s is nice too.

  7. R.... F....

    Doing the best I can, oh my Darling, I'll be a dreamer, I'll be a fool, oh my Darling, my whole life through, doing the best, the best I can, but it's not good enough for you.

  8. P.... D....

    Nils builds such a complex and killer solo so he played it twice, nice!

    P.... D....

    it is actually nils lofgren playing guitar and neil is playing piano on this track

    P.... D....

    This solo kicks ass indeed... I really dig the natural harmonics. The chord progression kinda reminds me of a Brazilian song by the great Raul Seixas. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AbEIGF0rAI It also has cool diminished chords and approximations

  9. c.... ....

    This album is a great listen. This song has a humorous desperation about it. Neil and these guys have been blown up like Wile E. Coyote in the Roadrunner cartoons, looking at us giving a wink and a smile through a coating of black soot and singed hair.

    c.... ....

    Exactly!

    c.... ....

    @Stephen Quinn Your comment has an eloquence that is sorely lacked in these parts. Well done.

    c.... ....

    @charles quijano The secret is to minimize one's use of words. Words are overrated.

  10. s.... ....

    Whoever plays piano on this is incredible.

    s.... ....

    Amazing.

    s.... ....

    Such a nice mix of laid bacnless  here and on spot playing and poignant lyrics abound.

    s.... ....

    Is it really!? Some of my favorite piano playing period is on this album.

    s.... ....

    @kyle m yeah Neil on piano on this song, Nils Lofgren on others, when one is on guitar the other is on piano. You can usually tell, if it sounds a lil sloppy and loose, it is Neil lol....here you can hear him tell Nils to solo on the guitar..'alright Nils' lol
