This album comes from the heart or what is left of the heart when people die around you, people you love. (For Neil that was Bruce Berry and Danny Whitten) For Neil Young on this album, High was a place to stay when it was all too real and painful to come down, and High he stayed during it's creation. Every throat wrenching note is real though. It opens with tonight's the night and ends with the same song, sung in even deeper pain and more guiltily edged. The whole feel of this album for me, is summed up in one song "Tired Eyes" play it at 3 in the morning a little worse for wear having lost someone close to you and you'll get just a taste of what Neil meant and was feeling. But don't do the whole 12 tracks with a loaded gun near, save that for "On The Beach" when it's sunny...
fantastic homage to two of Young's friends lost to drugs, roadie Bruce Berry and guitarist Danny Whitten, the title track (and its closing reprise) is a hypnotic cry of "why?" and this generally sums up the overall theme of the album.
Good album. Good songs. Get Zuma & On The Beach as well if you like this.Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere, Harvest & After The Goldrush are good too.
Excellent Neil Young cd
