There are many of them.By 1976, Robbie Robertson was “tired of being a babysitter”. I like Neil Young songs that make us think.

There's no guessing about forever-and-ever. We want this to be IT.īut we should not rush. We want to have, create, consume this love now, here. Two people, unknowing of each other, and for a fragment in time in love, making our lives dependent of each other. I guess you can, and want you to 'see that now', you can 'see me now' how I am completely - both halves. Then the 'change came' and I finally had the guts to allow you a deeper look into my being, into who I really am - an emotionally naked guy, a guy who is deeply in love with you. The visible side that you experienced the side that you apparently fell for, the side I offered you. In the making of that love and the untangling of it, I tried to - and had to - reflect on myself. She could have known both of my 'sides': the visible side, and the 'other side', the vulnerable side which I keep to myself, although it is 'just the same' but nevertheless private property. She *could* have gotten to know me, to see right through me, but she did not. She never got to know 'me', the song's protagonist. In the second and third verse, the relationship is over. Beautiful smoke rings that are blown away by the same wind that, according to Paul Simon, blows through the 'window in your heart' and that anyone else can see blowing painfully.

I discovered the power of love, what it can do, what it can create, and what it can hurt or destroy. I loved a girl and adjusted all I ever was, all I ever had, all I ever planned to do, to her love. Suddenly my whole life was turned upside down. How does that make you 'insane'? It surely made me insane. Or, on a grander scale, the first love I ever made. For me, the first verse is about the first kiss I ever received.
