Words (Between the Lines of Age) - 2009 Remaster

This song was written by Neil Young and appears as the final track on Harvest, his fourth solo album. It features his signature lyrics-from-the-heart, soulful melodies, and poetic countryside metaphors. Look for the unusual time signature of 11/8 on the interludes, alternating with the standard 4/4 for lyrics and chorus.

While "Words" itself didn't see single release, the album Harvest charted #1 on the Billboard 200 and also on the Australian Kent Music Report Albums Chart. By the way, the hit "Heart Of Gold" from this album is Young's only #1 hit.

Personnel for "Words": Neil Young on lead guitar and vocals, Ben Keith on pedal steel guitar, Jack Nitzsche on piano, Tim Drummond on bass, Kenny Buttery on drums, and Stephen Stills and Graham Nash on backing vocals. Nitzsche, Keith, Drummond, and Buttrey are also collectively known as "The Stray Gators," primarily the supporting band for Neil Young but also appearing in places like Jewel's Pieces of You.
