I'm reviewing Jimmy McDonough's tremendous Shakey: Neil Young's Biography, so the above is the official Record of the Day or actually of the past two weeks.

More about this in the days ahead. For now let me just say that the book has been a revelation in a million ways, forcing me to listen closer and reprocess lyrics that I'd always kinda shriugged off when they were just playing in the background. The song reprinted below is called "I Believe in You" and if you had asked me a week ago I guess I would have said it's about believing in someone. Wrong answer.

Now that you found yourself
losing your mind
Are you here again?
Finding that what you once
thought was real
Is gone, and changing?


Now that you made yourself
love me
Do you think
I can change it in a day?
How can I place you above me?
Am I lying to you when I say

That I believe in you
I believe in you.

Coming to you at night
I see my questions
I feel my doubts
Wishing that maybe
in a year or two
We could laugh
and let it all out

Now that you made
yourself love me
Do you think
I can change it in a day?
How can I place you above me?
Am I lying to you when I say


That I believe in you
I believe in you.
