Kurt Cobain quoted Young in his suicide note ("It's better to burn out than to fade away"), and it allegedly struck Young hard with disappointment, anger, frustration, and sadness. Having lived most of my life being completely misunderstood, I still can only imagine the horror that such a "shout out" would do. Cobain seems to haunt the entire "Sleeps with Angels" album. This is one of the loveliest ballads of almost-dead hope (and resolution to find it even though it appears to be nowhere) that I’ve ever heard. Gorgeous track. Thank you, Neil.
