Thanks for posting it. Maybe the song started out one way and changed meaning over time. The words are deceptively simple but could apply to quite a few people who hide their truth selves (knowingly or not), in their own dreams or illusions, or in their work, or people who might appear cold but who are, in fact, softies or vice versa, and much more besides. >________________________________ > From: Michael Sentance >To: "joni@smoe.org" >Sent: Sunday, April 13, 2014 9:49:58 AM >Subject: "Only Love Can Break Your Heart" & Joni > > >As many of you know, Neil Young's "Only Love Can Break Your Heart" was >written in 1970 and purportedly directed to Young's friend and band mate, >Graham Nash, after the end of Nash's relationship with Joni. >... > >Some of the song never made any sense to me - which wasn't a rare event - >but I loved the poignancy of the words and the way Young sang it.

The hot links seem to transform into something else entirely. Or maybe it will, I don't know. Bottom line, if you're having issues send me a note off list and I'll send you the full link. Sorry for the inconveniences guys. http://bit.ly/1kZrsH2 Bob NP: The Strypes, "Rollin' And Tumblin'" ------------------------------ End of onlyJMDL Digest V2014 #127 ********************************* ------- Post messages to the list by clicking here:mailto:joni@smoe.org Unsubscribe by clicking here: mailto:onlyjoni-digest-request@smoe.org?body=unsubscribe
