Buffalo Springfield/Neil Young - Broken Arrow

Back



"Broken Arrow" is a song written by Canadian singer-songwriter Neil Young and recorded by Buffalo Springfield on their 1967 album Buffalo Springfield Again. "Broken Arrow" was confessional folk rock. All three verses end with the same lines: "Did you see them, did you see them? Did you see them in the river? They were there to wave to you. Could you tell that the empty quiver, Brown skinned Indian on the banks That were crowded and narrow, Held a broken arrow?" The Blackfoot Indians would use a broken arrow to signal that they would cease fighting. Some people get this song and some people don't. I consider it a Neil Young masterpiece.

I like this song. But one thing I don't get about it is why it begins with a few seconds of the end of Mr. Soul.

I love the way you boobs are arguing about the rock and roll hall of fame. Move out of your mothers' basements and get a life. It's just music, that's it. There is no deeper meaning to it. There is no more rock and roll. I declare rock dead. Who is carrying on the torch of rock...no one.

a small broken man is moving slowly sideways over a desert of indiffrence.he looks like a crab,and yes he carries that torch...though now it is without its flame,but one still burns....IN HIS EYES!!!

Intro of Broken Arrow seems to be a live performance of Mr Soul. Sounds very hot ... I don't suppose by some miracle the whole song & maybe even the whole show was recorded and released?? Maybe I'm just dreaming.

even if the entire thing was not released, where did they get the intro from? Ive always wondered that about this song.
