This song (Four Strong Winds), was on it. So I used to play it all the time, because I, that's where I heard it for the first time. I love the song, I've always loved it, and used to listen to it over and over again. It's one of the best actual performances of a song I did. It just caught my attention you know there aren't many songs that I've sang that I didn't write so it was very real. Yeah, I don't think it can get any more real than that.” — Neil Young </p><p>&lt;<a href="https://youtu.be/n9qZv7No5C4?si=hq_wyxG-OIQh1s3o" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">youtu.be/n9qZv7No5C4?si=hq_wyx</span><span class="invisible">G-OIQh1s3o</span></a>&gt; / 80 year old Ian in 2014 talking how he wrote, “4 Strong Winds”. &lt;<a href="https://youtu.be/DJdvv7jB0Tc?si=bI668BrDI7Iomlte" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">youtu.be/DJdvv7jB0Tc?si=bI668B</span><span class="invisible">rDI7Iomlte</span></a>&gt; <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/IanAndSylvia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IanAndSylvia</span></a> / <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/IanTyson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IanTyson</span></a> / <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/cowboys" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cowboys</span></a> <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/cutting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cutting</span></a> <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/horses" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>horses</span></a> / <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/Alberta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Alberta</span></a> / <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/Canada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Canada</span></a></p>
