Young, Neil - Don't Let It Bring You Down Lyrics
Old man lying
By the side of the road
With the lorries rolling by
Blue moon sinking
From the weight of the load
Cold wind ripping
Down the alley at dawn
And the morning paper flies
Dead man lying
By the side of the road
With the daylight in his eyes
Don't let it bring you down
It's only castles burning
And you will come around
Blind man running
Through the light
Of the night
With an answer in his hand
Come on down
To the river of sight
And you can really understand
Red lights flashing
Through the window
In the rain
Can you hear the sirens moan?
White cane lying
In a gutter in the lane
If you're walking home alone
Don't let it bring you down
It's only castles burning
Just find someone who's turning
And you will come around
Don't let it bring you down
It's only castles burning
Just find someone who's turning
And you will come around

Young, Neil Don't Let It Bring You Down Comments
profound
The joke was on Neil. The 'castles burning' was the hippie culture that ate itself alive.
The original grunge musician.
Don't let it bring you down...It's only castles burning = fiddling while Rome burns
My only issue with this song is that it’s too short and it leaves us wanting more or leaving it on repeat because it’s so good. I call it a cliffhanger song.
Every one of his songs brings me down. Neil Young sucks!
Wise words for these horrible times: "Don't let it bring you down/It's only castles burning/Just find someone who's turning/And you will come around."
Turning to what? Turning away from the madness of global corporate industrial consumerism that is destroying the planet. Turning toward Permaculture: growing gardens, growing community, growing awareness. At least, that is how I take it.
His voice is electrifying here.
Pure angelic voice , simple words every human being can understand. He will never be replaced🙁
Don't Let It Bring You Down -- Lyrics
Old man sitting
by the side of the road
With the lorries rolling by,
Blue moon sinking
from the weight of the load
And the buildings scrape the sky,
Cold wind ripping
down the alley at dawn
And the morning paper flies,
Dead man lying
by the side of the road
With the daylight in his eyes.
Don't let it bring you down
It's only castles burning,
Find someone who's turning
And you will come around.
Blind man running
through the light
of the night
With an answer in his hand,
Come on down
to the river of sight
And you can really understand,
Red lights flashing
through the window
in the rain,
Can you hear the sirens moan?
White cane lying
in a gutter in the lane,
If you're walking home alone.
Don't let it bring you down
It's only castles burning,
Just find someone who's turning
And you will come around.
Don't let it bring you down
It's only castles burning,
Just find someone who's turning
And you will come around.
BRASIL 🎅
Uncle Neil!!!
Don't let Christmas bring you down..
Free donuts for you!
He wrote some amazing songs - but he can't sing. Love the Anny Lennox version. Now a need to feed the cat..
I really dont know what to say. I love you Neil young
I personally thing the everything everything cover is better, just my opinion.
Killer vocals
Passion
Que maravilla
817 people must be dead inside
Thank you Neil.
Every now and again I have a few minutes in which I live this song and have this sense of life.
And then suddenly I return to the delusional world in which I mostly live.
There will never be another Neil Young. He will always be in a class of his own.
Definitly love playing this with my guitar, not singing at all, of course.
Sounds like America living poetic death
ThE BEST song ever to Sing ALONG...It releases you...
I found this song originally on a Krookfoot vynil album
this song shattered me wtf
Somewhere there's a live version of this song where Neil introduces this song by saying, "Here's a song guaranteed to bring you down, called Don't Let it Bring You down" Gotta love a sense of humor.
Really is a beautiful thing when an artist can make something with lyrics that make millions feel like someone is there for them
this guy has the rockiest voice among rock n rollers
Timothy B. Schmidt from eagles...
Me gusta mas como la canta Annie Lennox
He has the power to change my mood.
Deepness
809 people didnt like this?? I don't get it
Lip sync
Those lyrics are ridiculous.
Happy Birthday Neil🎂
Let him get his citizenship, look all we've enjoyed since we were young from this man, and still do enjoy.... real feelings💔💙🔥💯
How Can he be so good???
There is always a Neil Young song that reminds me of someone or something. As I get older ! My favourite song is heart of gold! Xx 💖 tina.
Good Darling
Hi Darling
One of the greatest songs ever written. Period.
I will try not to let me get me down Neil but you know the state of the world and mans possible fate and then there is disease old age and death and loneliness oh man that loneliness
old man...... take a look at your life.......when i get there i will do the same....
Excellent !! Don't let it bring you down (2cd album?) come on down to the river of sight (insight) and u will understand!!!!
Don't let it bring you down, it's only castles burning. Fuck
There really is and never has been anybody like him. He defines what I call a visionary genius. Just love this guy
An unbelievable Performance.
exellent
What's the tuning for this
I'm going to really go out on a limb here and say that I think that one of our cocky know it all millenials that's in the music biz might be a bit hard pressed when it comes to writing a song with the kind of lyrics that this one has that old Neil wrote AT AGE 24. Also, Rest In Peace Mr Ginger Baker, (1939-2019)
One of the greats. Utterly uncompromising artist. The entire show is just a incredible performance. One man his guitar and his songs. The power, passion and intensity can still be felt 48 years later. Brilliance.
"Dead man lying by the side of the road, with the daylight in his eyes."
"And nobody would give a F**k, gotta be at that 9 to 5."
On one of his live performance recordings Neil introduces this song by saying, "Here's a song guaranteed to bring you right down...it's called "Don't Let it Bring You down."
skooter72 ..."it kinda starts out real slow, and then fizzles out altogether". The album was "Four Way Street".
Neil Young IS poetry.....
Genius. That's all folks.
....LMAO!!! Yeah....okay buddy...SMH
Don't let it down, it's only castles burning, just find someone who's turning and you will come around WOW! HIS BEST ACOUSTIC FOR ME! ONE OF THE BEST LYRICISTS EVER! PEACE AND LOVE
oh man these guitars old Martin ...and neil Young ...
Young FEELS the song and the music in his soul !!
he is on Mount Olympus with a few others
Neil Young is an angel sent to Earth to elevate humankind to a higher level of spirituality. his wisdom expressed through his songs is a higher soul connecting to our souls and showing us the hidden treasures, their beauty and their awe appear right before our mind's eye as he shines white light that lets us see from one end of the Universe to the other, for he is God's prophet.
"Find someone who's turning
And you will come around."
Freakin Genius.
Greater Than At Any Drive In Movie Theater! The Sun on a Dark Moon Night! >the hitcher. aka. Fox! Rock's Czar Phil Collins! (w/Coming In The Air tonight!)
Isn't it true? He helped me through some tough times as a teenager. Such a pure,feeling singing voice.
Que voz. ..beleza!
man,,i needed this atm ,lol,not jk btw
I can't believe that there are 775 people who would give this a thumbs down. These are the people who are stuck somewhere unretrievable.

Great Double drop D song
My life is changing. I’m a traveling to Oklahoma and going north to the Dakotas. This music is going with me and my 44. Selling my house tomorrow and am going to go off the screen.
So fluid and natural. The sound is harsh of course but thats the point. I always come back to Young and these stories.
Thank you. Needed that.
Dead man liein by the side of the road with day light in his👀 who come up with but the best song writter ever.Ya and Bob.
I miss music.
Old Neil Young turning in an absolutely sublime performance...this man's genuis is a gift to the world
This is an American Beauty :)
He's Canadian
You cant find guitar work like that anywhere today He stands the test of time sounds as good today as it did 48 years ago
Imagine disliking this stunning live performance, what bunch of ignorant sods!
This LSD I'm on has me tripping balls I dont even know where to go
Love ya' Neil - you are beautiful inside and out -
Neil Young song "Philadelphia" always gets me, I wanted that song to win, and that song to summarise film of Tom Hanks, Denzel Washington, "Philadelphia" instead of Springsteen and this also another beautiful masterpiece, I always thought Joni Mitchell sang this too.....~to love of~brother~
love you old friend you are a legend
I remember in the past (70's, 80's & 90's) when people used to say, like complainingly, that Neil Young's music was too dark, depressing, that kinda thing, but this song corrects it all. We've found someone who's turning & we all must come around and turn with: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=damod85m2u4
Neil Young, please fix all of my problems.
Every time I listen to Neil' songs , I feel like I'm transcending...
Damn Aussie, mind.
My stars, why are there no artists like this coming along now?
What a depressed life style brought up on western civilization and they have to appreciate psychopaths performance is loudly popular! What a pity for out spring of colonizers.
You sound like an idiot.
Neil Young is a God
Boom 💖💥💖💥
His voice pierces my soul. In a good way 💖⚡️
Quando gli angeli ascoltano Neil Young provano invidia
Please open their eyes .... we are running out of time. God help us all
739 people who thumbed this genius songwriter down clearly do not know a thing about music, musicianship, songwriting, arrangement, heart, soul, or really anything of clear importance in this world. How to be true to yourself, and let it out. It's not an easy feat in this society. A man who bares this kind of soul for the general public, is a sage to be respected, and revered.
BRILLIANT SONGWRITER
Blue moon sinking from the weight of the load......
Isn't this every one of us?
