Young, Neil - Green Is Blue Lyrics






We watch the old news
Distracted as they talked on and on in the usual way
About the latest lies, deceptions
We saw tomorrow, we long for a better day

And I know why green is blue
There's so much we didn't do
Oh, I know why green is blue

We heard the warning calls, ignored them
We saw the weather change, we saw the fires and floods
We saw the people rise, divided
We fought each other while we lost our coveted prize

There's so much we didn't do
That we knew we had to do
And we know why green is blue

We watched the species die, we saw the coral turning
We watched the oceans rise
We saw the pod of whales lay bloated
On the shore where they baked, but we missed that sign
We saw the polar bear, she floated
On a piece of ice from another time

So I know

    Our old, true friend, Neil Young. 🌝

  5. D.... W....

    Great song but I prefer the solo version even more. He did it in Milwaukee for the first time ever and it was just him and his piano and the darkness of the stage behind him. It was chilling, haunting, eerily quiet. This version comes off more like a Sufjan Stevens song, which isn't a bad thing at all. But man, I can't shake the OG version outta my head, and I doubt I'll ever be able to.

  6. J.... E....

    Holy fuck me my idol is relevant again

  7. b.... ....

    Meanwhile, Keystone pipeline leaks 383,000 gallons of oil in North Dakota....again.

    We watched the old news
    Distracted
    As they talked on and on
    In the usual way
    About the latest lies
    Deceptions
    We saw tomorrow,
    We longed for a better day .

    And I know why green is blue
    There’s so much we didn’t do
    Oh I know why green is blue

    We heard the warning calls
    Ignored them.
    We watched the weather change
    We saw the fires and floods.
    We saw the people rise
    Divided
    We fought each other
    While we lost our coveted prize.

    There’s so much we didn’t do
    That we knew we had to do
    Oh we know why green is blue

    We watched the species die.
    We saw the coral turnin’.
    We watched the oceans rise.

    We saw the pod of whales
    Lay bloated
    On the shore where they baked
    But we missed that sign.
    We saw the polar bear
    She floated
    On a piece of ice
    From another time.

    So I know…

  24. L.... P....

    From Uruguay Neil, loves your music!!! Can talk with you about a concert y my country? The life pass fast!! Need see you alive!!

  25. J.... �....

    Like how the video is sponsored by Cheetos- at least on my feed. I could see Neil and Crazy Horse snacking on some Cheetos.

  26. P.... V....

    Love it!! So beautiful 😊🦋

  27. T.... H....

    Neil living like a mountain man in a mansion on the hill while the deer and antelope play outside. So near and yet so far from the spirit of Mother Earth.

    T.... H....

    The Great Spirit told him more than 400 songs though... He's not as far from him than from us.

  28. M.... B....

    Love the entire album! Ordered it the first day I was emailed about it and so happy it arrived on Thursday. Get out and vote everyone!! DUMP TRUMP!! MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN IMPEACH TRUMP!!!✌️✌️🇺🇸🇺🇸✌️✌️

    M.... B....

    What do Neil Young and a song about the destruction of the environment have to do with Trump?

  29. K.... 7....

    Neil seems more and more to distribute the elite's credo. Sucks! Listened all songs in a row and then threw the disk out of my car window. Now there it is...meeeh

  30. c.... ....

    Hauntingly beautiful. Long may they run.

  31. T.... r....

    We'll figure it out.

  32. G.... H....

    I'm 66. Heard Neil first time in high school when my older sister bought After The Gold Rush on Album. MY inspiration since. We're both on the same page brother Neil!!

    G.... H....

    Yeah, I’m 70. He’s part of my life. So, I know what you mean. If there’s some kind of life after this one, I hope he will be part of that also!!

    G.... H....

    @wim rutten You got it wim…..Neil has a song for every mood. If ya wanna party we'll party but if we just wanna lay down we'll do that too right????

  33. W.... C....

    This song has been stuck in my head since I saw the movie on Tuesday. Long live Neil Young and Crazy Horse.

  34. R.... F....

    A legend

  35. a.... m....

    What a beautiful song!

  36. L.... S....

    Thanks Neil !

  37. N.... S....

    Neil always seems to take us to the height we need to go. And he always speaks of the truth. You can read all the great philosophers and you'll not find the wisdom that Neil has through his entire realm of his created songs.

    N.... S....

    That's absolutely true. I wish more would listen, cause Neil's never been wrong, not once.

  38. I.... B....

    Just Great !

  39. O.... ....

    Man this is such a beautiful song, and yet makes me feel so sad and empty for the state of the planet at the same time. We humans can be so ugly.

    O.... ....

    May God bless!!!☯️

    O.... ....

    Don't worry...the Earth is doing just fine...

    O.... ....

    Its fake news

  40. S.... G....

    Großartig meine Helden!!!!!!

  41. b.... ....

    Green is green, blue is blue, men are men, girls are girls...this is this...it ain't something else...this is this. 2 + 2 = 4


    A = A


    Love science, do ya? How about the science that every fetus has 100% DNA? How 'bout that science? (Not that I want to crash your 'hook-up' culture or anything...)

    b.... ....

    @Alexandre H Finally!! Someone who recognizes genius when he sees it! Thank You!

    b.... ....

    ​@bodeswell35 You're welcome, dear open minded genius! And be careful, cause you're becoming nice!

    b.... ....

    @Alexandre H I'm a total sweetheart.

    b.... ....

    ​@bodeswell35 It's totally obvious

    b.... ....

    people who are triggered by neil young lyrics and don´t even get them. part of the sad state of the world.

  42. 1.... ....

    💚.....💙.....

  43. G.... J....

    This is just amazing protest yet so musically stunning

  44. L.... R....

    I still listen to everything he does

  45. S.... D....

    Man, I would of loved to know Neil back in the day. I wasn’t even born until 1970 but his voice is my childhood and young adult soundtrack. Not to mention he was completely gorgeous! ❤️

    S.... D....

    Sarah, I saw Neil for the first time at the Spectrum in Philly Rust Never Sleeps Tour. Early 70's. He's been a great inspiration to me since. Just listen to his words in every damn song he's done. Colorado !

    S.... D....

    I’m a 1970 baby too! I agree with you his voice brings back so many memories. I always think about all the really amazing people and fun times from long ago.
