Neil Young Changes His Name to Clyde Coil In Honor of Loving Lionel Model Trains! Tonight at a concert, the singer announced his intention to change his name to Clyde Coil and change his style of music into the soul of train lovers. Young said in a statement to the press that his move is related to the fact that he loves Lionel trains. It's a move he claims will enable him to more easily move to the next stage in his music career. Lionel Model Trains are still an iconic part of the industry, and Young is a legend when it comes to the craft. He grew up playing with trains and making his own tracks. You may remember a bit of his iconic song, "Steamroller," featuring Train? It got him into the position he's in now. For the record, Young has one more album left in him: "High Road." The record was released back in 1996 and sold 1.4 million copies. That's better than his first album, "Comes a Time." The album, released in 1973, sold 6 million copies in the U.S. and another 5 million in the rest of the world. But Young is not done yet! Young said, "The change is a tribute to Lionel and Lionel trains and to all lovers of trains and locomotives who want trains to be more than toys. I look forward to seeing all my loyal fans out there tonight." As for that change of name? You can see Clyde Coil tonight at his show at the Fillmore in Denver, Colorado. If you are looking for other ways to celebrate Train lovers, we recommend taking a look at Lionel's newest trains. There are so many new items coming out with the brand, and it just wouldn't be right to pass them up! Lionel's 2016 lineup is coming, and it's going to be great. You can read up on what's in store in this review and then make a purchase. You might want to know what the model railroad industry is up to this week: Train

write the lyrics to a graham nash song about chicago

I can see my reflection in the snow

And I can hear the children laughing

And I can feel the love that's in the air

I can see the light shining in their eyes

And I can feel the happiness they bring

And I know that this is where I belong

I can hear the music playing in the streets

And I can feel the energy of the city

And I know that this is where I belong

I can see the skyline of the city

And I can feel the pulse of the people

And I know that this is where I belong

This is my home, this is my town

This is where I want to be

And I know that this is where I belong

write the lyrics to a neil young song about chicago

I'm just a poor boy trying to survive

I've been kicked around since I was born

My momma died when I was young

My dad didn't care if I lived or died

The only one who ever cared for me

Was the girl from Chicago

She was my everything

And I loved her so

But I was just a poor boy

And I couldn't afford to keep her

So I had to let her go

And I've been kicking around ever since

Just trying to make ends meet

And I'll never forget the girl from Chicago

She was the best thing that ever happened to me

write the lyrics to a neil young song about trains.

I've been thinking about

trains

and how they always seem to be

going somewhere

and how I'd like to be

on one

headed for the open plains

or maybe even

the coast

I'm not really sure

but I know I'd like to be

on a train

somewhere

far away from here

G D

We met at a show, we were both dancing

C G

Lost in the music, lost in the moment

G D

We didn't need words, we just understood

C G

That we were meant to be, two deadheads in love

G D

Now we follow the tour, from town to town

C G

Living on love and the open road

G D

We'll never forget how we came to be

C G

Two deadheads in love, forever we'll be

write the chords and lyrics to a song about two deadheads falling in love.

I met her in a place called Shakedown Street

Where the music never stopped

And we danced all night to the Grateful Dead

And I knew that she was the one for me

We bonded over our love of Jerry Garcia

And the long strange trip we'd been on

And I knew that I could never let her go

She's my girl, she's my girl

She's my girl and I love her so

We followed the Dead all around the country

And our love just kept on growing

And now I can't imagine my life without her

She's my girl, she's my girl

She's my girl and I love her so

I hear the whistle blowin'

D7 G

Late at night when I'm all alone

I think of you

D7 G

And how you used to be mine

I see the headlights comin'

D7 G

Down the track, they're gettin' closer

And I can't help but think

D7 G

How much I want you back

Chorus:

C G

Trains always make me think of you

D7 G

Every time I hear that lonesome sound

C G

I can't help but think about the times

D7 G

We spent together, and how

C G

You left me standing at the station

D7 G

Watching as you pulled away

I see the couples holding hands

D7 G

And I can't help but think of us

And how we used to be

D7 G

Before you left me here to grieve

Chorus

I hear the whistle blowin'

D7 G

Late at night when I'm all alone

I think of you

D7 G

And how you used to be mine

Write a screenplay about Neil Young and Stephen Stills falling in love but having trouble along the way, with comedic relief side characters Graham Nash and David Crosby as a couple

INT. CONCERT HALL NIGHT.

The audience is on their feet, cheering and clapping as Neil Young and Stephen Stills take the stage. They grin at each other and pick up their guitars.

GRAHAM: (whispers to David) They look so good together.

DAVID: (whispers back) I know. I wish they could figure it out.

Neil and Stephen start to play, their guitars in perfect harmony. As they sing, they look longingly at each other, but something always seems to get in the way.

GRAHAM: (sighs)

DAVID: (nods)

At the end of the song, they get a standing ovation. They take a bow and then walk off stage.

NEIL: (to Stephen) That was amazing.

STEPHEN: (to Neil) You were incredible.

They stare at each other for a moment, lost in their own world. Then, Graham and David come up to them.

GRAHAM: Hey, you two!

DAVID: Great show!

NEIL: (to Stephen) I should go.

STEPHEN: (to Neil) Yeah, me too.

They both walk away, leaving Graham and David standing there, shaking their heads.

GRAHAM: (to David) They're so in love, but they just can't seem to get it together.

DAVID: (to Graham) I know. Maybe one day they'll figure it out.

INT. CONCERT HALL NIGHT.

DAVID:

Hey man, what's going on?

GRAHAM:

Not much, what's up with you?

DAVID:

I'm just waiting for Neil and Stephen.

GRAHAM:

They're probably backstage getting ready.

INT. BACKSTAGE

NEIL:

Hey Stephen, you ready to go out there?

STEPHEN:

Yeah, I'm just nervous.

NEIL:

Don't be, you'll be great.

STEPHEN:

I hope so.

NEIL:

I know so.

They walk out onto the stage to thunderous applause.

NEIL:

Thank you, thank you. We're so happy to be here tonight. We're going to start with a song that we wrote together, it's called "Love the One You're With."

The crowd cheers as they start to play. Stephen and Neil look at each other and smile.

As they play, they start to get lost in the music and their eyes lock. They start to lean in to kiss, but just as their lips are about to touch, someone coughs loudly and they pull away, blushing.

DAVID:

Ahem.

GRAHAM:

Sorry to interrupt, but we just wanted to say good luck.

An Oral History of the lost Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young song “Silly Dilly Girl.”

Crosby: “Silly Dilly Girl.” (laughs) That’s not a song I’ve heard of in a long time.

Stills: Silly Dilly Girl, I think that was one of Nash’s songs.

Young: Oh, god, that song. I LOVED it. Always was sad it never worked out.

Nash: (singing) I’m a dilly, a dilly, a dilly, a silly girl.

Crosby: I know a girl in a white shirt! I know a girl in a white shirt!

Young: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!

Nash: Oh! It’s the first line. I just loved it.

Young: I remember I had it tattooed on my back.

Nash: I think we played it maybe once in Chicago?

Crosby: In Chicago, right?

Young: In Chicago and some other place, right? (tape recorder off)

Nash: What a beautiful song, Bob.

Crosby: (singing) Oh, how come the Silly Dilly Girl

Has that lonely look in her blue eyes?

Don’t they have to get dressed every day?

Oh, what a Silly Dilly Girl!

How many of these “silly” Silly Dilly Girls…

Will I meet?

Silly Dilly Girl! (chuckles) It’s so great, right?

Crosby: (singing) She sings along to it, and she’s a dilly.

Stills: Oh, man! If she’d had a song like that, I’m sure she would’ve been a star, man.

Young: (singing) A silly Silly Dilly Girl!

A silly Silly Dilly Girl!

Silly Dilly Girl, how many of these Silly Dilly Girls…

Will I ever meet?

Silly Dilly Girl! (laughs) What a beautiful song.

Young: I remember I had it tattooed on my back.

Nash: A little out of place for me.

Graham: i know what word you’re thinking of, david. it’s the same word as “All You need Is…”

David: …Love?

(on the other side of the room)

Neil: Stephen I think I’m gay. I think I like women.

Stephen: Whatever. Did you know I was in the marines?

Graham: i didn’t. i thought you were a musician.

Stephen: I joined the marines so my family could stop hounding me about music. They knew I wanted to be a musician.

(The three men all begin to make out)

Neil: I’m so scared of being gay.

Graham: It’s like riding a bike, love.

Neil: What are you talking about?

Stephen: Neil, I’m gay.

Graham: And so is Neil.

Neil: …What.

Graham: Look, I’ve got three tickets for the gig tonight. Here, you have some money. The train costs £60. I’ll reimburse you at the end of the gig. You’ll have two new friends.

Stephen: Oh, cool. Neil, you can come too, so long as you don’t pounce me.

Neil: What?

Stephen: I don’t want to be pounced by gay people.

Graham: Don’t worry about it, fella. We won’t pounce you. We promise.

The whole world is special. Your mom has no idea you're here. Gerard: Oh? What are you doing with those men? Mickey: We're trying to find your brother Neil. Gerard: Neil? Mickey: Of course Neil. The original Neil. Do you remember Neil Young and the band Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young? Gerard: Uh-huh. Mickey: That's him! We'll take you to him. Nancy: Who are you talking about? Mickey: The Neil Young who was adopted by your mom. I'll show you. Nancy: Hey what's going on? Who is that guy? Mickey: I'll explain everything later. Come on. Let's go! Nancy: I want to go now! Mickey: Come on! --- Gerard: My brother Neil lived in Buffalo? Marc: Yes. In the '70s, he led the supergroup Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, along with Stephen Stills and Graham Nash. Gerard: What? Marc: The biggest band in the world! Gerard: I can't believe it! Marc: Your brother became a huge star, so you can have your pick of the band's stuff. Any guitar or bass, or even a drum kit. Just pick what you want. Gerard: I want this guitar. It's my favorite. Marc: You got it. Any other instruments you like? Gerard: Yes! This I really like. I'll take this too. Marc: Whatever you want. I'll order it for you now. --- Marc: What? I sent Neil back to his home time. He had to go back, just like you. Gerard: But I was adopted. So what? Marc: Because of your time-traveling, Neil had to go back to the past. Gerard: So I have a brother in the past? Marc: Of course. Nancy: What? I thought I didn't have a baby. Marc: You don't. But your brother does. Nancy: I don't have a brother. I don't. I'm an only child. Marc: Don't be mad. You do. You've got a twin brother. Nancy: Neil? Marc: Yes. It's your brother. He has a band. Nancy: When? How old is he? Marc: He's 19. Nancy: Nineteen?! Gerard: You're not my brother. I am my brother! I'm me! Marc: Yes. Your brother is dead.

Gerard: Hey Dad. What are these papers talking about? Do I have a brother? Mickey: Yes, and we don’t know much more than that. He was adopted in Canada in the 50s. In a terrible car accident he was launched into time. Gerard: Wow. Mickey: He grew up to be Neil Young, and he’s a major singer and songwriter. Gerard: I remember listening to Neil Young at the radio as a kid, and I was inspired by him. Mickey: Now you know why your mom and I tried so hard to get you adopted by Canadians. Gerard: Wait, there’s more! Mickey: Neil Young’s manager gave him these papers and a letter from him explaining that his twin brother was adopted in Canada, and when they sent him back to time, he grew up to become Neil Young. Gerard: What? Mickey: This means Neil Young got to be the biggest rock star in the history of the world. Gerard: What a beautiful thought! Mickey: I think he got as famous as Michael Jackson or Madonna. Gerard: Really? Mickey: Maybe even more famous. And remember, you have to meet your brother. Gerard: I don’t know. I’m not really interested in that kind of thing. It sounds dangerous. I’ll find some other friends. Mickey: We already set up a fake profile for you on Myspace.com, so that you can start chatting to some friends. That’s the kind of thing I would like to do if I had a brother. Gerard: I love it! I could become a rocker too! Mickey: That would be great! When are you coming home? Gerard: A week from Friday. Mickey: Have a good trip! --- Wow, thanks for letting me take a crack at this Neil Young fan

Synopsis: Neil Young and Gerard Way are twin boys adopted by Marc and Mickey in 1977. In a crazy accident, Marc launches Neil to Canada, 1946. He grows up to be a huge star of 1960s and 70s folk rock, getting famous before his parents. Gerard lives normally from 1977 onwards, and becomes an emo rocker in 2001, inspired by the grunge rockers of the 1990s who were inspired by his long-lost brother Neil. Neither of the musicians knows about their relation, until Gerard stumbles across some documents and a letter from his father explaining that he once had a twin brother who was sent back in time. Gerard sets out to find his brother Neil, who is touring the U.S. with his band Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young to protest the Iraq War.

Gerard: Hey Dad. What are these papers talking about? Do I have a brother?

Mickey: A... brother. That's all you have. No one else but you. But how did you find out about him?

Gerard: I looked it up. On the Internet.

Marc: The Internet? You didn't?

Mickey: How could you do that? You have our address.

Gerard: Look, all I know is that Neil Young has a brother, and they're trying to send him back in time.

Marc: (sighs) Look, there's nothing you can do about it. He's grown up in Canada and he has a good life there. But you... (Gerard gets up)

Marc: (takes Gerard by the arm)

Mickey: (walks up, tries to stop them)

Gerard: I have to go! I'm a musician! I have to go and see him!

Marc: Gerard, stop it! You don't have to go! You can stay here with us. (Mickey looks up from the papers on her desk)

Mickey: Well, I guess you're going.

Marc: Good, son. It's your turn to take care of us.

(Mickey and Marc stare at each other) (Mickey breaks down in tears)

Marc: Mickey, please. It's just one weekend.

Mickey: You don't understand. It's not just a week. It's... (sniffles)

Marc: (pulls Gerard back down beside her)

Marc: It's more important to me than the next weekend. (Marc goes into the other room and pulls his guitar out of its case)

Gerard: Dad? Are you going to the gig tomorrow?

Marc: I have to.

Gerard: Are you going to play?

Marc: Yeah. (Marc goes over to his amp and plugs it in)

Gerard: How will I know when to go in and out of time?

Marc: Just listen. (Marc turns on the amp)

(Neil Young starts singing the "Hey hey, My Chemical Romance" song)

Mickey: (sings along) I've loved you since the very first time I saw you. (Mickey and Marc kiss)

(Mickey has to pause so she can regain her composure)

Gerard: Wait a minute! It's my song! (Gerard picks up the mic)

Gerard: Hey! I got a lot to do tonight, so I'm going to sing this by myself!

(Neil Young starts playing "Helpless")

(Mickey and Marc listen to their son sing)

Mickey: Gerard. You'd better go.

Marc: I'll be by in the morning to see if you're coming back. (Mickey kisses Marc)

Gerard: Okay. (Gerard, Neil, and Mickey embrace)

Gerard: I love you, Dad.

Neil: I love you, too. (Gerard runs off)

(Neil sings a line of the song, then stops)

Neil: How am I supposed to sing that without Gerard here?

(Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young start playing)

(Neil, Stills, and Young's "Wooden Heart" comes on)

Neil: (to his bandmates) I've never sung this song like this before. (Crosby, Stills, and Nash's "Teach Your Children" comes on)

Crosby: (to his bandmates) This isn't my song. It's too slow.

Stills: It was about how, when we're old, we'll remember our childhood.

Crosby: Oh, I know. It's a real beautiful song.
