nailtek00 Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 This is one of my ALL TIME favorite songs, and I have considered putting CNMN GRL 7 on my license plates....but I don't want people to think that I am a heroin user, or a groupie....Help!!

Farin Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 I guess the only one who REALLY knows what the lyrics mean is Mr Young himself for the rest of us it's up for interpretation - if you ask me the groupie is more likely than the heroin user though... fun fact: Pearl Jam recorded a track called I got Id together with Neil Young, that partly references Cinnamon Girl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLizard Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 Neil Young refuses to say who the Cinnamon Girl was, but many think it was Pamela Courson, red-headed girlfriend of Jim Morrison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Joe Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 I love a mystery. But now we've got to find the truth. Where's Sue? Oh Sue. Sue!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesboy Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 Looks like very little information on Neil's interpretation of Cinnamon Girl. But I haven't delved into any interviews yet. This is all I could come up with... source - From the Decade album, Neil writes: "Wrote this for a city girl on peeling pavement coming at me thru Phil Ochs eyes playing finger cymbals. It was hard to explain to my wife." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesboy Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 I wanna live with a cinnamon girl I could be happy the rest of my life With a cinnamon girl. A dreamer of pictures I run in the night You see us together, chasing the moonlight, My cinnamon girl. Ten silver saxes, a bass with a bow The drummer relaxes and waits between shows For his cinnamon girl. A dreamer of pictures I run in the night You see us together, chasing the moonlight, My cinnamon girl. Pa sent me money now I'm gonna make it somehow I need another chance You see your baby loves to dance Yeah...yeah...yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
