about

This song is an homage to my great childhood friendship with Elwood 'Woody' Morris. Elwood is a great friend, and we had many great times and laughs together, telling jokes, making music and listening to Neil Young. In fact, it was Elwood that first introduced to the music of Neil Young, and I've been a lifelong fan ever since!

lyrics

I remember listening to ‘Decade’, my friend Woody had the LP,
I could not believe my ears, I went out and I bought one for me
Woody lived on the wrong side of town
But there was nothing that would ever bring him down
He was always so happy, he was such a good friend to me

Out in his backyard (Listening to Neil)
Banging his guitar (Listening to Neil)
Telling dirty jokes (Listening to Neil)
I remember taking my first toke

We sang heart of gold, at the high school assembly
I played the harmonica, a golden moment for Woody and me
Open up the tired eyes, Bruce Berry was a working man
Only Love Can break your Heart, the first song I ever learned on guitar

This Note’s for you (Listening to Neil)
Keep on rockin’ in the free world (Listening to Neil)
There’s a mansion on the hill (Listening to Neil)
Over and Over and Over Again

Over the woods to Cary’s house, we’d bring our guitars
Older brother singing down by the River
Underneath the summer stars
Me and Woody, Cary, and Lonnie ... singing songs to fill our hearts
I wish we never had to say goodbye, wish I could go back to the start

I spent my childhood (Listening to Neil)
It made me feel good (Listening to Neil)
Down in my basement (Listening to Neil)
Walking the pavement (Listening to Neil)
Hiding from the cops (Listening to Neil)
Don’t ever never stop (Listenintg to Neil)
Driving in my car (Listening to Neil)
You took my mind so far ...

Eric & The Soo Toronto, Ontario

While Eric & The Soo's debut album "Small Town Dreamer" saw Toronto-based songwriter Eric Brombacher looking inwards and backwards to his past and his childhood in his hometown of Sault Ste. Marie, his follow-up "Modern Dystopia" sees him looking more outwards and forwards, at society as a whole and at our future on this beautiful planet we call Earth.
Is there still hope for our beautiful world? ... more
