"Winterlong" is one of my favorite Neil songs, which means it's one of my favorite songs period. Great vocal harmony, great melody.

Speaking of Neil, and of "those moments," I had one of 'em driving my convertible '65 Mustang on the campus of UC Santa Cruz in the summer of '82 listening to the song "Out on the Weekend" (on Harvest). Nothing psychedelic or anything. ....It's just that everything was, for a few short minutes, perfect. Abosolutely perfect.

I was fortunate enough to learn that nothing beats listening to Neil Young up in the Algoma region north of Lake Huron. The landscape virtually plays the tunes on its own.

"Well, it was back in Blind River in 1962,
When I last saw you alive.
But we missed that shift on the long decline,
Long may you run."

"Long May You Run" by Neil Young

Blind River is a small town in that part of Ontario, and this song was about an old car of his that broke down on the road there in 1962.
