In a recent AP story Neil Young lost the faith......
BERLIN (AP) — Neil Young has a pessimistic message: Music has lost its power to change the world.
The 62-year-old singer brought his new movie, "CSNY Deja Vu," to the Berlin film festival Friday. The film was shot during the 2006 Freedom of Speech tour by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.
Young, who directed the movie under the pseudonym Bernard Shakey, wasn't making any big claims about its effects.
"I think that the time when music could change the world is past," he told reporters. "I think it would be very naive to think that in this day and age."
Young added: "I think the world today is a different place, and that it's time for science and physics and spirituality to make a difference in this world and to try to save the planet."
Sorry Neil I'll have to disagree. Maybe its just YOUR music that can't change the world anymore. It's time for a new generation of socially conscious music that CAN change the world. Music is the Universal communication of the soul.
Here's a thought...
The Celestial music that plays from the stars
Is sent to us
To make our spirits dance with eternity
To find a reasurance of tommorrow
And remind us of the forthcoming dawn
Each day brings forth the sun
Singing His triumphant song
Setting afire the angels dew touched songs
before the wanting shrouds of night
The music of ages old
To spark ones spirit
To touch ones soul
A song that has passed from God to a starry light
And finally to its resting place
Upon Earth.
Upon your soul.
Reaching out to grasp that star
to discover a luminance within yourself
A radiant song of aura and of light
that none but a few can see
The ethereal song of eternity
The One that always remains
To sing
To spark
To remain the Spirit Free.
Don't worry Neil. The Creator writes those tunes. We just get to play 'em.
