Stephen Stills - The Loner Lyrics
He's a perfect stranger like a cross of himself and a fox
He's a feeling arranger and a changer of the ways he talks
He's the unforeseen danger, the keeper of the key to the locks
Know when you see him, nothing can free him
Step aside, open wide, loner
If you see him in the subway, he'll be down at the end of the car
Watching you move until he knows he knows who you are
When you get off the train alone, he'll know that you are gone
Know when you see him, nothing can free him
Step aside, open wide, it's the loner
There was a woman he knew about a year or so ago
She had something that he needed and he pleaded with her not to go
On the day that she left, he died, but it did not show
Know when you see him, nothing can free him

Stephen Stills The Loner Comments
The guitar rift is a SPIRIT rift from their Fresh Garbage album..
At least we're still listening to this in 2019!
the beginning riff sounds a lot like something else but I can't place it don't know if I'm thinking of another Stills tune or what...
SPIRIT!! Fresh Garbage album!!!
@Andrew Masset I see a similarity there but something else is in my mind, and I don't think it is the song Beck wrote 'Feel Good Time' that lifts the Spirit lick... but I dunno maybe that's it. Thanks! I sure haven't figured out what else I might be thinking of lol
@stucknda60s "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around" ... pretty much lifted this tune.
Never would have heard this great version of Neil's song without David Browne's CSN& Y biography and YouTube having it as well. Great cover. Cheers!
it's just like a Jethro Tull Lead Guitar Riff by Stills
obscure reference but you are right
Buffalo original 👌🏼sounds strange without Neil Young or is it ?
Neil wrote it during the final days of Buffalo Springfield, but it wasn't recorded by them. Instead it showed up on Neil's first solo album.
Molto bella questa versione..ma Neil é Neil..meglio di lui maiiiiiiiiiiiii love Neillllllllll!!!!❤❤❤
Another Stills gem. Always liked this version better than Neil’s. But give Neil the credit - he wrote it.
I really like this Still's Cover of Neil's Classic....A little more Jammed Up version!!!
It's okay by Neil if Steven does this.
Neil wrote this about Stephen... or was it himself. George Terry takes the initial solo, then Stills finishes
The cocaine version
Mitchell Wheeler lol
Some killer bass, too.
Flo and Eddie backing vocals.
From The Mothers of Invention with Zappa!!!
Don't forget the Turtles.
better than Neil's.
Nah, too fast of a tempo. Neil's acoustic version will always be best.
Close call; they're so different. I like both versions.
This is fantastic but Neil owns this song. Young and Stills have always had terrific chemistry, but so volatile they can't keep it going for long. Nice to see that appreciation being expressed here.
I wouldn't say better, just different. I love both versions.
thanks Rosie! bought this album when it was released and had been looking for thissong on youtube for a looong time!
Just discovered this version - Brilliant
wow! sorry neil
Fuck Neil!
Rosie, you and I have excellent taste in music.
This is great!!!
