"Down by the River" is a song composed by #NeilYoung. It was first released on his 1969 album with #CrazyHorse, #EverybodyKnowsThisIsNowhere. Young explained the context of the story in the liner notes of his 1977 anthology album #Decade, stating that he wrote "Down by the River", "#CinnamonGirl" and "#CowgirlInTheSand" while delirious in bed in #TopangaCanyon with a 103 °F (39 °C) fever.

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere is the second studio album by Canadian-American musician Neil Young, released in May 1969 on Reprise Records, catalogue number RS 6349. His first with longtime backing band Crazy Horse, it emerged as a sleeper hit amid Young's contemporaneous success with Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young..

Upon its release, Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere received generally favorable reviews from critics. Bruce Miroff of Rolling Stone wrote a favorable review, describing Young's voice as "perpetually mournful, without being maudlin or pathetic. It hints at a world in which sorrow underlies everything [...] because that world is recognizable to most of us, Young's singing is often strangely moving." - Wikipedia

"HEART OF GOLD" -- Mastodon Post

YouTube suggested "Heart of Gold" by Tanya Donelly. It is the lead-off track for the various artists tribute album, "Cinnamon Girl: Women Artists Cover Neil Young for Charity" (2008). So, here we are sixteen years after the album's release and Donelly is having something of a current streaming service hit with her contribution. The Web works in many mysterious ways. My suggestion is to listen to "Heart of Gold" and then look through the "Cinnamon Girl" tracklist. I liked a lot of tracks, such as Donelly's "Heart of Gold," "Comes a Time" by Kate York, "Down by the River" by Jill Sobule With John Doe, "Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere" by Carmen Townsend, "Only Love Can Break Your Heart" by Amilia K. Spicer, and "Walk On" by Heidi Gluck (Juliana Hatfield's bandmate in Some Girls), while friends generally gravitated toward "Like a Hurricane" by Kristin Hersh. A popular music fan can hardly go wrong with the "Cinnamon Girl" collection.

Ten silver saxes
A bass with a bow
The drummer relaxes and waits between shows
For the Cinnamon Girl
A dreamer of pictures
I run in the night
You see us together
Chasing the moonlight
My Cinnamon Girl
