Sock Summit ended today. I was very lucky to be able to attend and witness the full banana. After a little decompression I will share more of my Sock Summit experiences with you, promise. But for now, I am overwhelmed. Tonight I find myself unable to sleep.
Do you have a few minutes to spare? This is a gem!
Recorded live in 1971, here is Neil Young performing a then-new song Heart of Gold. This song was officially released the following year on the now classic album Harvest. Great album, yes. Can I say I always feel like there is a song that doesn't belong on there? I often skip it when I am paying attention. It's A Man Needs a Maid, and it's kind of a bummer (to me).
Regardless, take a moment if you would. Perhaps it's the insomnia talking but the lyrics seem to be really mirroring my life.
"Heart Of Gold"
I want to live,
I want to give
I've been a miner
for a heart of gold.
It's these expressions
I never give
That keep me searching
for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old.
Keeps me searching
for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old.
I've been to Hollywood
I've been to Redwood
I crossed the ocean
for a heart of gold
I've been in my mind,
it's such a fine line
That keeps me searching
for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old.
Keeps me searching
for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old.
Keep me searching
for a heart of gold
You keep me searching
for a heart of gold
And I'm growing old.
I've been a miner
for a heart of gold.

Thank you, Star, for sharing this video and song.I met my husband in 1971 and "Heart of Gold" is "our song". So nice to see it and hear it!
I attended both Sock Summits and went to your Walk on the Wild Side (wild skeins) class this time. Really enjoyed it and Sock Summit this year.
