Neil Percival Young (born November 12, 1945) is a Canadian singer-songwriter.
After embarking on a music career in the 1960s, he moved to Los Angeles, where he formed Buffalo Springfield with Stephen Stills, Richie Furay and others.
Young had released two solo albums and three as a member of Buffalo Springfield by the time he joined Crosby, Stills & Nash in 1969.
From his early solo albums and those with his backing band Crazy Horse, Young has recorded a steady stream of studio and live albums, sometimes warring with his recording company along the way.
Young's guitar work, deeply personal lyrics and signature tenor singing voice define his long career.
Young also plays piano and harmonica on many albums, which frequently combine folk, rock, country and other musical styles.
His often distorted electric guitar playing, especially with Crazy Horse, earned him the nickname "Godfather of Grunge" and led to his 1995 album "Mirror Ball" with Pearl Jam.
More recently Young has been backed by Promise of the Real.
Young directed (or co-directed) films using the pseudonym "Bernard Shakey", including "Journey Through the Past" (1973),
"Rust Never Sleeps" (1979), "Human Highway" (1982), "Greendale" (2003), and "CSNY/Déjà Vu" (2008).
He also contributed to the soundtracks of the films "Philadelphia" (1993) and "Dead Man" (1995).
Young has received several Grammy and Juno awards.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inducted him twice: as a solo artist in 1995 and in 1997 as a member of Buffalo Springfield.
In 2000, "Rolling Stone" named Young the 34th greatest rock 'n roll artist.
He has lived in California since the 1960s but retains Canadian citizenship.
He was awarded the Order of Manitoba on July 14, 2006, and was made an Officer of the Order of Canada on December 30, 2009.
Down by the Station
" Down by the Station"( also known as" Down at the Station") is a popular song written by Lee Ricks and Slim Gaillard in 1948, and most famously recorded by Tommy Dorsey.
The song remains popular today as a children's music standard.
The opening lines of the song are:" Down by the station, early in the morning, see the little pufferbellies all in a row."
It is a simple, childlike song about a railroad station master seeing the steam locomotives off to work.
The song itself is much older than 1948; it has been seen in a 1931" Recreation" magazine.
Whether deliberately copied or not, the tune is very closely related to the chorus of the French- Canadian folk song" Alouette".
Although the first line is similar to" Alouette", it is more closely related to the tune of" The Itsy- Bitsy Spider," with the first two lines being similar.
The third line of" Down by the Station" is higher in pitch than the second, and the fourth line returns to the pitch of the first line( except for a higher pitched or onomatopoetic" Toot! Toot!").
Reverend Wilbert Awdry may have been inspired by the words of the song to write his first Railway Series story, Edward's Day Out.
The Four Preps recorded a version of" Down by the Station" in 1959, featuring an entirely different set of lyrics by group members Bruce Belland and Glen Larson.
In the Jordan Peele film" Us" the young girl, Zora Wilson, starts whistling “ Down by the Station ” when she is down in the funhouse, in front of the hall of mirrors.
Her doppelgänger, Umbrae, starts whistling the same song, right before they see each other for the first time.
Down by the River (Neil Young song)
"Down by the River" is a song composed by Neil Young.
