Young, Neil - Mansion On The Hill Lyrics






Well, I saw an old man
walking in my place
And he looked at me,
it could have been my face
His words were kind
but his eyes were wild
He said: I got load to love,
but I want one more child.

There's a mansion on the hill
Psychedelic music fills the air
Peace and love live there still
In that mansion on the hill.

Around the next bend,
take the highway to the sun
Or the rocky road,
it really don't matter
which one
I was in hurry
but that don't matter now
'Cause I have to get off
that road of tears somehow.

There's a mansion on the hill
Psychedelic music fills the air
Peace and love live there still
In that mansion on the hill.

  19. M.... C....

    Love that priest get up on Neil.

  20. R.... H....

    Great Song!

  21. J.... H....

    For most of his career Neil Young made great music. This is NOT an example of it, this is 100% pure garbage!

  22. K.... K....

    I had the Ragged Glory VHS of this

  23. J.... J....

    How can anyone give a thumbs down to a great song like this? Deranged! I love the way Neil dances his guitar around, gets inside the song so well.

  24. J.... M....

    This thing called love can be so cold, sometimes it's amazing ,sometimes it's crazy...........we believed that anything worth doing was worth over - doing Marshall May 17/17 xox

  25. R.... T....

  26. W.... ....

    He wasn't 70 went he wrote U dumb fuck

  27. W.... ....

  28. C.... T....

    My favourite song of Neil's. I am going through the loss of now my father. (Mom passed away a couple of years ago) I have lived through many years of loss and hardship. That can make one bitter. I am grateful to be alive. Make the most of every day, and let those you love hear it often

  29. S.... R....

    neils youg is rocker

  30. i.... m....

    neils best song right here ..
    boys and girls

    i.... m....

    starting to think you're right

    i.... m....

    LetThePoorStarve im glad someone agrees with me...just the way he rip's on his guitar how can u not like that ..if u dnt ppl need to go get there head examined

    i.... m....

    I started with Harvest/Everybody Knows and assumed like most "classic rock" guys his best stuff was in the 70s and there was no need to listen to his newer stuff. Damn if I wasn't wrong as hell!

    i.... m....

    He keeps evolving and improving as time goes on, like a rare french wine. :)

    i.... m....

    Neil rulz.

  31. T.... P....

    LOVE NEIL YOUNG like this song ok but the vid?? lol more like ALICE COOPER lol

  32. p.... m....

    ho sempre come un identificazione subitanea colle sue liriche  che mi sento che sta parlando lui di me addirittura..è bellissimo grazie neil...ps..ho trovato anni fa un cd in uno store di pisa dove c'era "when you dance you can really love"..bellissimi  quei pezzi di quegl'anni li'..mi sembrava di vivere un sogno ovattato. .oh cripple creek ferries!!comq son sicuro che neil è dello scorpione, non si spiegherebbe questo rapporto strettissimo colla natura che lui ama..lo si direbbe un bel po' "intimista"country electric folk  artist!

  33. p.... m....

    "transformer man....transformer man"

    p.... m....

    i have also lost my father last year god bless you.

  34. p.... m....

    a volte certi toni della voce di Neil ricordano David Byrne, specialmente quando fa note alte(ma non è sempre cosi,  dico a volte)..io non penso d'aver sbagliato, c'ho fatto proprio caso.non so se ci so state influenze dall'una o dall'altra parte.come te nonb ce n'è neil, la tua voce non è una bomba soul o un super-rock, ma è semplicemente stupenda e mi fara' sempre sognare ogni volta.go neil go!sei tutti i nostri semplici sogni rock!

  35. g.... ....

    Such a great vid

  36. J.... H....

    One of their best songs. VIVA Neil & Pancho!

    J.... H....

    Poncho! (not Pancho) sorry

    J.... H....

    God is still building Neil's mansion in the sky and I'm glad that he still alive down here with me

  37. T.... ....

    adoration

  38. D.... B....

    Beg borrow or steal. Go see Neil shred it live . Priceless! !!!

  39. L.... B....

    This, kids, is rock and roll.

  40. R.... P....

    the masion on the hill is the Church

    R.... P....

    +Jonathan Rubino My church has no roof or steeple.

    R.... P....

    +swampyD1000 so does mine

    R.... P....

    Rubino Pride The mansion on the hill is where industry elites meet up and party. Before you become famous you must party there and lose your soul.

    R.... P....

    Neil Young is a Christian

  41. A.... H....

    can you hear any difference in Neil's voice from when he was in his early twenties and now from his late sixties?? hahaha didn't think so!! the world could identify that voice through at least a couple generations, and guess what???? he's still here..... Thank God for that!!!!!

    A.... H....

    +Al Huggins saw him play last week and his voice still sounds great. maybe lost a little off the top end, but its amazing how great he sounds

    A.... H....

    For a man who's 70, he's incredible.

    A.... H....

    yeah, and he just jumped around like crazy. Played for about 3 hours no intermission. the guy has incredible energy. He wore me out.

    A.... H....

    Al Huggins n

    A.... H....

    Especially considering his brain tumor surgery!
    So glad it was successful!!

  42. S.... C....

    Say FACE 1 more time.

  43. J.... H....

    Warner/Reprise really got a great artist when they signed Neil - who'd've thunk he'd still be rockin' in 2014! #LongMayYouRun!

    J.... H....

    He's still rocking in 2018.

  44. G.... F....

    who is the woman at 2:40?

  45. p.... ....

    Hey kids - I was in a hurry but that don't matter now, I had to get off of that road of tears somehow, love her still but it don't matter now; I'm headed for that mansion on the hill: *Amen !!!!*

  46. J.... C....

    FUCKEN WICKED - Right on Neil!!!!

  47. I.... ....

    Reminds me of what was said about Teddy Roosevelt: if he goes to a wedding he wants to be the bride, if he goes to a funeral he wants to be the corpse.  Maybe in another video....

  48. C.... M....

    Whoever said this song is about Charles Manson is a dumb a**

  49. C.... M....
