Why oh why do they have to change the words of great songs to be politically
correct?
What's wrong with "...felt like getting high"? Why change to it "...cry"?
Sorry but Prelude's a cappella version is far better.

It's one of those songs that has stayed with me personally, long
after I heard it the first time performed by Neil Young. Yes, a
magnificently beautiful song all around.

From After The Gold Rush (1970)
---------------------------------------------
AFTER THE GOLD RUSH
Well, I dreamed I saw the knights
In armor coming,
Saying something about a queen.
There were peasants singing and
Drummers drumming
And the archer split the tree.
There was a fanfare blowing
To the sun
That was floating on the breeze.
Look at Mother Nature on the run
In the nineteen seventies.
Look at Mother Nature on the run
In the nineteen seventies.
I was lying in a burned out basement
With the full moon in my eyes.
I was hoping for replacement
When the sun burst thru the sky.
There was a band playing in my head
And I felt like getting high.
I was thinking about what a
Friend had said
I was hoping it was a lie.
Thinking about what a
Friend had said
I was hoping it was a lie.
Well, I dreamed I saw the silver
Space ships flying
In the yellow haze of the sun,
There were children crying
And colors flying
All around the chosen ones.
All in a dream, all in a dream
The loading had begun.
They were flying Mother Nature's
Silver seed to a new home in the sun.
Flying Mother Nature's
Silver seed to a new home.

Ugh! Blasphemy against one of the greatest songs Neil has ever
written, and that is saying quite a lot!
Truth and honesty
Needs people with more powerful voices.
Generally when great singers get together to sing like this it is a sign
that they are over the hill.
