I was tagged in this Challenge by my friend, the beautiful @nerwen. To be recognized by such an amazing woman is quite a thrill! I’ve been mulling this for several days as I have many “favorite” songs, but I decided to go with “Like a Hurricane” by Neil Young. This is just a simple love song. The lyrics are great, but what makes it my favorite is the melody, especially the opening guitar riff!
-
“Once I thought I saw you in a crowded hazy bar
Dancing on the light from star to star
Far across the moonbeam I know that's who you are
I saw your brown eyes turning once to fire
You are like a hurricane
There's calm in your eye
And I'm gettin' blown away
To somewhere safer where the feeling stays
I want to love you but I'm getting blown away
I am just a dreamer, but you are just a dream
You could have been anyone to me
Before that moment you touched my lips
That perfect feeling when time just slips
Away between us on our foggy trip
You are like a hurricane
There's calm in your eye
And I'm gettin' blown away
To somewhere safer where the feeling stays
I want to love you but I'm getting blown away, blown away
You are just a dreamer, and I am just a dream
You could have been anyone to me
Before that moment you touched my lips
That perfect feeling when time just slips
Away between us on our foggy trip
You are like a hurricane
There's calm in your eye
And I'm gettin' blown away
To somewhere safer where the feeling stays
I want to love you but I'm getting blown away”
There are several versions of this song out there, all good, but I really prefer it live. This video is from one of my all time favorite concerts; Live Rust with Neil Young and Crazy Horse. So, fire one up and bang your head like it’s 1977, again. Enjoy!
I’m not going to tag anyone, but I’d love to see your picks!

Good song. ** There are too many times when "Nothing Else Matters" Metallica seems to fill the bill.
