Sobre el álbum
Harvest Moon es el decimonoveno álbum de estudio de Neil Young y fue lanzado el 2 de noviembre de 1992. En las grabaciones participaron muchos de los músicos de apoyo que también aparecieron en el álbum Harvest de 1972 de Young.Neil Young regresó a los estudios de grabación mientras se recuperaba de una caso de tinnitus (una afección que produce un molesto pitido en los oídos) que había surgido tras la grabación de Ragged Glory (1990) y su posterior gira. Young regresó al estudio con Ben Keith, cogiendo la guitarra acústica, el piano. y el banjo que había utilizado en álbumes como Harvest, Comes a Time y Old Ways. Se utilizó un equipo analógico de la década de 1970 en lugar de la grabación digital para lograr una sensación "más cálida".
La posterior gira se grabó y finalmente se lanzó en el álbum en vivo Dreamin 'Man de 2009, que contiene las interpretaciones en solitario de Young de todas las pistas de Harvest Moon en un orden diferente.

- Unknown Legend4:32
Letra
She used to work in a diner Never saw a woman look finer I used to order just to watch her float across the floor She grew up in a small town Never put her roots down Daddy always kept movin', so she did too. Somewhere on a desert highway She rides a Harley-Davidson Her long blonde hair flyin' in the wind She's been runnin' half her life The chrome and steel she rides Collidin' with the very air she breathes The air she breathes. You know it ain't easy You got to hold on She was an unknown legend in her time Now she's dressin' two kids Lookin' for a magic kiss She gets the far-away look in her eyes. Somewhere on a desert highway She rides a Harley-Davidson Her long blonde hair flyin' in the wind She's been runnin' half her life The chrome and steel she rides Collidin' with the very air she breathes The air she breathes. - From Hank To Hendrix5:12
From Hank to Hendrix I walked these streets with you Here I am with this old guitar Doin' what I do. I always expected That you should see me through I never believed in much But I believed in you. Can we get it together Can we still stand side by side Can we make it last Like a musical ride? From Marilyn to Madonna I always loved your smile Now we're headed for the big divorce California-style. I found myself singin' Like a long-lost friend The same thing that makes you live Can kill you in the end. Can we get it together Can we still stand side by side Can we make it last Like a musical ride? Sometime it's distorted Not clear to you Sometimes the beauty of love Just comes ringin' through. New glass in the window New leaf on the tree New distance between us You and me. Can we get it together Can we still walk side by side Can we make it last Like a musical ride? - You And Me3:45
Letra
Open up your eyes See how life time flies Open up and let the light back in. Open up your heart Let the lovin' start Open up and let the light back in. I was thinking of you and me Makin' love beneath the tree And now I wonder could it be. Thinkin' 'bout the times we had Some were good and some were bad Guitar fightin' the T.V. I was thinkin' 'bout you and me I was thinkin' 'bout you and me I was thinkin' of you and me I was thinkin' 'bout you and me. Lookin' at you just the other night Dancin' in the evening light True love conquers all. Old man sittin' there Touch of grey, but he don't care When he hears his children call. I was thinkin' 'bout you and me I was thinkin' 'bout you and me I was thinkin' 'bout you and me I was thinkin' 'bout you and me. Open up your eyes See how life time flies Open up and let the light back in. - Harvest Moon5:03
Letra
Come a little bit closer Hear what I have to say Just like children sleepin' We could dream this night away But there's a full moon risin' Let's go dancin' in the light We know where the music's playin' Let's go out and feel the night Because I'm still in love with you I want to see you dance again Because I'm still in love with you On this harvest moon When we were strangers I watched you from afar When we were lovers I loved you with all my heart But now it's gettin' late And the moon is climbin' high I want to celebrate See it shinin' in your eyes Because I'm still in love with you I want to see you dance again Because I'm still in love with you On this harvest moon Because I'm still in love with you I want to see you dance again Because I'm still in love with you On this harvest moon - War Of Man5:41
Letra
The little creatures run in from the cold Back to the nest just like the days of old There in the safety of a mother's arms The warmth of ages, far away from harm again. Ears ringin' from the battle fire The tired warrior aims a little higher The black falcon or the little sparrow The healing light or the flash of the barrel. No one wins It's a war of man, No one wins It's a war of man. Silver mane flyin' in the wind Down through the planets on the run again No one knows where they're runnin' to But every kind is comin' two by two. Out on the delta where the hoofbeats pound The daddy's runnin' on the frozen ground Can't smell the poison as it follows him Can't see the gas and machines, it's a war of man. No one wins It's a war of man, No one wins It's a war of man. The windows open and the little girl dreams The sky's her playground as she mounts her steed Across the heavens to the other side On wings of magic does the little girl ride. The baby creatures run in from the cold Back to the nest just like the days of old There in the safety of a mother's arms The warmth of ages, far away from harm again. No one wins It's a war of man, No one wins It's a war of man, No one wins. - One Of These Days4:55
Letra
One of these days, I'm gonna sit down and write a long letter To all the good friends I've known And I'm gonna try And thank them all for the good times together. Though so apart we've grown. One of these days, I'm gonna sit down and write a long letter To all the good friends I've known One of these days, one of these days, one of these days, And it won't be long, it won't be long. And I'm gonna thank, That old country fiddler And all those rough boys Who play that rock 'n' roll I never tried to burn any bridges Though I know I let some good things go. One of these days, I'm gonna sit down and write a long letter To all the good friends I've known One of these days, one of these days, one of these days, And it won't be long, it won't be long. From down in L.A. All the way to Nashville, From New York City To my Canadian prairie home My friends are scattered Like leaves from an old maple. Some are weak, some are strong. One of these days, I'm gonna sit down and write a long letter To all the good friends I've known One of these days, one of these days, one of these days, And it won't be long, it won't be long. One of these days, one of these days, one of these days, And it won't be long, it won't be long. - Such A Woman4:36
Letra
You are such a woman to me And I love you Our love will live Until the end of all time No one else can kill me like you do No one else can fill me like you do And no one else can feel our pain Love is a healer And I love you No one else can fill me like you do No one else can kill me like you do And I love you You are such a woman to me - Old King2:57
Letra
King went a-runnin' after deer Wasn't scared of jumpin' off the truck in high gear King went a-sniffin' and he would go Was the best old hound dog I ever did know. I had a dog and his name was King I told the dog about everything There in my truck the dog and I Then one day the King up and died. Then I thought about the times we had Once when I kicked him when he was bad Old King sure meant a lot to me But that hound dog is history. King went a-runnin' after deer Wasn't scared of jumpin' off the truck in high gear King went a-sniffin' and he would go Was the best old hound dog I ever did know. That old King was a friend of mine Never knew a dog that was half as fine I may find one, you never do know 'Cause I still got a long way to go. I had a dog and his name was King I told the dog about everything Old King sure meant a lot to me But that hound dog is history. King went a-howlin' after deer Wasn't scared of jumpin' off the truck in high gear King went a-sniffin' and he would go Was the best old hound dog I ever did know. - Dreamin' Man4:36
