Yonder Stands The Sinner

Neil Young

Transposer:

Intro u> Verse 1: Well you heard about the Great Pretender? I went to see him and he’s not the same Down by the club on the parking lot cinders I was to meet him and play his game Yonder stands the sinner He calls my name without a sound Instrumental u> Verse 2: I saw his face in the attic window Yelling down through the broken pane Sinner man! What you got to run for? Church bells rang when he said that name Yonder stands the sinner He calls my name without a sound Verse 3: Well I was about as scared as I could be I went and hid behind the nearest tree I peeked out from behind the branches Sinner! Yonder stands the sinner He calls my name without a sound To get down Instrumental Outro Guess you heard about the Great Pretender? I went to see him and he’s not the same Guess you heard about the Great Pretender? I went to see him and he’s not the same

La chanson évoque une rencontre troublante avec une figure sinistre, presque mythique, qui semble jouer un rôle de manipulateur. L’interlocuteur se retrouve plongé dans une atmosphère de mystère et de peur, tout en réalisant que ce "prétendant" qui attire le regard n'est pas ce qu'il paraît. À travers des moments de doute et de retrait, il reflète une tension intérieure face à la tentation et à la culpabilité. La sonorité des cloches d'église renforce cette ambiance, rappelant que la spiritualité et la lutte contre le péché sont omniprésentes dans cette rencontre délicate.
