Campaigner

Neil Young

Transposer:

THE CAMPAIGNER [Intro] [Verse] I am a lonely visitor. I came too late to cause a stir though I campaigned all my life towards that goal. I hardly slept the night you wept; our secret’s safe and still well kept where even Richard Nixon has got soul. Even Richard Nixon has got soul. [Verse] Traffic cops are all color blind. People steal from their own kind. Evening comes to early for a stroll. Down neon streets the streaker streaks. The speaker speaks but the truth still leaks where even Richard Nixon has got soul. [Verse] The podium rocks in the crowded waves. The speaker talks of the beautiful saves that went down long before he played this role for the hotel queens and the magazines test tube genes and slot machines where even Richard Nixon has got it soul. [Verse] Hospitals have made him cry but there’s always a free way in his eye though his beach just got too crowded for his stroll. Roads stretch out like healthy veins and wild gift horses strain the reins where even Richard Nixon has got soul. Even Richard Nixon has got soul. [Verse] I am a lonely visitor. I came too late to cause a stir though I campaigned all my life towards that goal. [Outro] / From: (Mark Lynch 1) Subject: Re: REQ:Campaigner by Neil Young I play it in D though I think it might be capoed at the 2nd fret on the LP.

Cette chanson évoque le sentiment de solitude d'un homme qui, malgré une vie consacrée à la lutte pour ses idéaux, se rend compte qu'il est arrivé trop tard pour provoquer un réel changement. Il partage ses réflexions sur un monde où l'injustice et la douleur coexistent avec des moments de beauté, tout en soulignant l'aspect humain, même chez ceux que l'on ne considère généralement pas comme tels, comme Richard Nixon. À travers des images percutantes, il dépeint une société où la vérité est souvent étouffée et où le regard sur la vie peut être à la fois désespéré et empreint d'espoir. Le contexte de cette chanson se situe dans une époque de grande turbulence politique et sociale, où les promesses des leaders et des élites semblent déconnectées de la réalité des gens ordinaires. Le narrateur, en tant que visiteur solitaire, représente ceux qui, malgré tous leurs efforts, se sentent perdus dans un système qui ne valorise pas leur lutte.
