Bob Dylan-Wheels On Fire ( Basement Tapes)

"This Wheel's on Fire" is a song written by Bob Dylan and Rick Danko. It was originally recorded by Dylan and the Band during their 1967 sessions, portions of which (including this song) comprised the 1975 album The Basement Tapes 

Danko recounted how the song was written: "We would come together every day and work and Dylan would come over. He gave me the typewritten lyrics to 'This Wheel's On Fire'. At that time I was teaching myself to play the piano.... Some music I had written on the piano the day before just seemed to fit with Dylan's lyrics. I worked on the phrasing and the melody. Then Dylan and I wrote the chorus together."

Neil Young - Greendale (live) Part One

                                      Tweeter Center, Camden, New Jersey July 2, 2003


Greendale is the 27th studio album by Neil Young. Young and Crazy Horse's Greendale is a 10-song musical novel[12] set in a fictional California seaside town of the same name. Based on the saga of the Green family, Greendale combines numerous themes on corruption, observation of the passing of time, environmentalism and mass media consolidation.

                                                                  Falling From Above

 Neil Young’s “Falling from Above” is a song that reaches into the heart of the American dream and finds it faltering under the weight of time and change. At first listen, the song may seem like a simple story about the Green family, but dig a little deeper, and it becomes clear that Young is painting a picture of an America at a crossroads.(SongLexicon)
