Young, Neil - Winter Winds Lyrics






The summer ends and the winter winds
Begin to holler all around the bend.
We will smile and sail away
This won't be no sadness day
When the winter winds
greet the trees back there.

We can watch the turbine
turning in the wind
Up on the ridge line,
before the fog rolls in.
Falling leaves in the autumn air
People feeling good everywhere
When the winter winds greet
the trees back there.

We can watch the turbine
blowing in the wind
Up on the ridge line,
before the fog rolls in.
We will smile and sail away.
This won't be no sadness day
When the winter winds
greet the trees back there.

Young, Neil Winter Winds Comments
  1. P.... J....

    First time I heard this song...Wow! on Neil's CD Prairie Land

  2. d.... r....

    It's the good times are gone

  3. d.... W....

    That's alot of acoustic guitar players.

  4. J.... ....

    Awesome as always. One of my all time favorites. I could listen to most of his songs every day! :) Some I am more partial to, like this one. A legend, hands down! Your music touches everyone. I am in my 60's and still lovin' your music. :) My ancestry is Canadian. So feels like you are family :) Rock on Neil. :) God bless you :)

  5. B.... A....

    Just noticed my comment from 5 years ago. Reminds me of the back bar in the Crown Hotel which had a jukebox, now a dining room. Ally Moore would come in every Friday Saturday night and on the jukebox would select the same track: Freebird by Lynyrd Skynyrd.

  6. C.... H....

    someone please identify the woman next to Neil in blue, and which one is Pegi.

    C.... H....

    Pegi is to Neil's left. Emmylou Harris is to Neil's right.

  7. A.... B....

    Still love this after all these years. Emmylou could sing the phone book and I'd listen. Same with Pegi. Sad we lost her this year. Neil has been a favorite since the beginning. Glad I was in my 20s during the 70s. Some of the best music ever recorded.

  8. p.... m....

    Neil is one tough man. Over 70 years on the needle. He was diagnosed with Type I diabetes at age 3.

  9. t.... g....

    Ian Tyson said “ I guess that makes me the king ! He turned Dylan onto pot Dylan turned on the Beatles, now that is a story

  10. 7.... ....

    Neil Young can stay the hell out of Alberta

  11. c.... h....

    I tried playing this myself ... but too many chords lol

  12. f.... a....

    Missing one guitar

  13. P.... S....

    Beautifully haunting. Love this man's plaitff voice on this track. One of the best voices ever.

  14. J.... D....

    This reminds me of my father. He’s a huge fan of Neil Young and he likes this song because it was a hit when he took an extended holiday in Canada and America. This was a hit when he was in Canada and it played a lot on the radio. The lyrics reminded him of his mother and father who had both just died.

  15. �.... ....

    I love this song.

  16. U.... ....

    Is that Mr Glen Frey on slide guitar...yeah

    U.... ....

    It's Ben Keith.

    U.... ....

    Upjohn
    It's pedal steel guitar and yes it's Ben Keith (r.i.p).

  17. T.... A....

    I love this song.

  18. F.... D....

    I love this song

  19. J.... H....

    I don’t agree with Mr. Young on his politics but he’s a great talent. Love it.

    J.... H....

    what are his politics?

  20. E.... L....

    ◔ ..hello ';';;';

  21. G.... F....

    I CRY FOR THIS SONG

  22. V.... ....

    This song always makes me cry

  23. s.... ....

    WOW !!!!!

  24. D.... W....

    What a great tribute to Ian by 9 top guitar players as well as the backup musicians that played on this song!! Neil did Ian so proud!!!!

  25. g.... h....

    look its quker oats playing

  26. g.... h....

    400 strong guitars....

  27. O.... L....

    Relaxing 😘

  28. A.... a....

    7 guitars?

  29. G.... F....

    THEY MISSED WHAT NEIL SAYS AT THE INTRO TO THIS SONG,,,HOW HE FIRST HEARD IT ON A JUKEBOX AND HE WOULD SPEND ALL HE HAD CAUSE HE COULD NEVER GET ENOUGH OF IT,,,STILL CAN'T

  30. G.... F....

    I WISH NEIL COULD HAVE DONE A DUET WITH THE IMMORTAL IAN TYSON,,,IT WOULD HAVE BEEN LOVELY AS THIS SONG,,,NOW THE GOOD LORD HAS TAKEN HIS GORGEOUS VOICE,,SO SAD

  31. N.... G....

    Greatest song ever

  32. M.... R....

    Does anyone know when thus concert took plAce and where

  33. �.... ....

    제가 20대 즐겨들었고 좋아했던 곡 중에 하나입니다
    그때 생각이 나네요 잘 들었습니다 감사해요

  34. R.... C....

    Bobby Bare version a lot better

  35. y.... s....

    Love the song and love the singer ..what a great combination!

  36. A.... D....

    Ugh..my heart..💚

  37. N.... B....

    This song makes me sad, calm, emotional and inlove...it's evergreen.

  38. K.... S....

    Még mindig nagyon jóóóóóó!

  39. A.... C....

    Love this song, never get fed up of hearing it.

  40. R.... ....

    Is the beautiful lady on Neil's left his wife?

  41. L.... F....

    Una canzone fantastica formidabile neil

  42. J.... C....

    Hauntingly beautiful song.

  43. G.... W....

    really nice and mellow

  44. c.... ....

    Four Strong Winds - I'm blown away! This is brilliant - I love it when 'senior' musos get together and have fun. They have nothing to prove - they have all the fame and fortune they need and now are looking for the peace. This is fabulous - play it from the rooftops, all over the World and maybe we can leave a better place for our kids.

  45. L.... R....

    Tem vagabundo que só gosta de bosta e entrar pra deixar um negativo, ao qual deveria meter o dedo de negativo no cú fedorento da Mãe e da família toda inclusive no propio cú

  46. I.... E....

    REALITY OF LIFE:" If the good times are all gone, then I'm bound for moving on"

  47. I.... E....

    Brilliant. Makes me proud to be Canadian. Always loved his special voice. Best cover of any song.

  48. S.... T....

    They look so genuine together. He was the proof impersonified that you could be with the same woman for 40 years and remain undisputed. She made him stronger. This video is a testimony of this. Can't grasp what he did, spoiling Harvest moon, Unknown Legend and this song among other things. To Pegi.

  49. L.... R....

    What is the meaning of ' four strong wind'

    L.... R....

    North South East West????

  50. M.... M....

    I like Bobby Bares more

  51. t.... k....

    IMO an underwhelming performance from Neil.

  52. �.... ....

    Nice song and nostalgic❣️
    Now I’m in a difficult situation,so this song is just
    antidote for me.

  53. M.... C....

    Bless you Peggy. Rest In Peace.

  54. S.... H....

    Neil Young Simplicity the Best love Him

  55. J.... C....

    Neil always sings to my soul. This is one of his best songs ever.

  56. j.... z....

    who are all the musicians?

  57. S.... E....

    🌹🌹

  58. T.... ....

    Neil young, never Ian

  59. T.... ....

    Not Ian - good try

  60. A.... B....

    I've loved Neil since the 70s, but leaving Pegi for Daryl Hannah? I don't get it.

  61. e.... e....

    I went out west after a girl with the last name Young left me. It was sad like this song.

  62. S.... W....

    My dads favorite song,,, hes gone now so I had the song tattooed on my arm for him xoxo beautiful song for a beautiful man

  63. A.... K....

    i love to time travel to this song, takes me back to some good times 407 thumbs up.

  64. A.... J....

    Can anyone tell me we’re to get this version please.

  65. n.... s....

    Love Neil

  66. J.... C....

    Neil always sings to my soul. I saw him live in Madison, WI, January 2019. His voice is as good as ever and his new song, "Green is Blue," haunts me.

  67. B.... A....

    RIP Pegi Young

  68. D.... N....

    Why did you edit out the beginning, where Neil talks about growing up in Canada and listening to the Ian & Sylvia record on the jukebox, over and over again? It would have been apropos.

  69. C.... g....

    2019 anyone probably not

  70. M.... r....

    naiiyak talaga ako pag naririnig ko tong kantang to. lalo na pag malungkot ako

  71. N.... L....

    Wow, that’s Emmylou

  72. D.... S....

    Dopo ascoltato Neil Young puoi anche morire in pace ! ! !

  73. T.... C....

    All the elements of the classic Canadian folk song are right there,: winter, distance, loneliness. All the best versions are by Canadian artists, including by the author https://youtu.be/B3m7ckGhnsc .

  74. R.... K....

    Peggi is an angel <3

  75. D.... S....

    GRANDE NEIL YOUNG !

  76. R.... J....

    A beautiful song.No wonder Noel was obsessed with it when he was young and away from home for the first time.One version of this song he explains .

  77. I.... S....

    It's a wonderful song by Ian Tyson performed here by Emmylou Harris and by Neil Young and his wife Pegi Young. He broke his marriage vows after 36 years of marriage because of another woman. What a scumbag. Interesting to see how these professional do-gooders who constantly lecture others on morality act in their own lives.
    Pegi Young died on 1st January 2019 of cancer.

  78. j.... g....

    his signature

  79. M.... G....

    I love this but Emmie doesn't look like she's enjoying this very much. She's barely pretending to play.

  80. H.... O....

    I love, love , love this song.

  81. d.... ....

    Incredibly wonderful

  82. c.... ....

    Think I'll go out to Alberta
    Weather's good there in the fall
    I got some friends that I can go to working for
    Still I wish you'd change your mind
    If I asked you one more time
    But we've been through that a hundred times or more
    Four strong winds that blow lonely
    Seven seas that run high
    All those things that don't change come what may
    If the good times are all gone
    Then I'm bound for moving on
    I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way

    If I get there before the snow flies
    And if things are lookin' good
    You could meet me if I sent you down the fare
    But by then it would be winter
    Not too much for you to do
    And those winds sure can blow cold way out there
    Four strong winds that blow lonely
    Seven seas that run high
    All those things that don't change come what may
    If the good times are all gone
    And I'm bound for moving on
    I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way.

  95. A.... N....

    Hey is it just me or has Emmylou ever actually hit a flat or sharp note while singing? There is a Gram Parsons radio interview swhere on the interestingness where he explains how perfect t a singer she is.

  96. A.... H....

    Ditto. I feel your pain.

    I cannot stop watching !!!
