The story behind the song

This slow country dance tune, the title song from Neil Young's 1972 album Harvest, has a calm, strangely hypnotic quality. The lyrics are somewhat obscure, presenting rhetorical questions about a relationship with a woman. The song seems to explore how much love the singer will receive and his ability to accept or "harvest" that love, perhaps reflecting an inability to fully accept happiness. The refrain, "Dream up, dream up/Let me fill your cup," further ties into this theme of harvesting. It plays like a contemplative journey into the complexities of love and acceptance.
