And Neil Young and Crazy Horse are still out there searching. There's one last reference - Deadman for which Young composed and played the score . The film's journey to spiritual reunion and it's final encounter with death could be seen as having a profound effect on Young. This too is a journey and death hovers close like an old friend in several of these tracks. Suddenly it seems as if perhaps there won't be enough time and life becomes more and more treasured.
Mortality is an ever-deepening reality.
And Neil Young and Crazy Horse remain its finest practitioners, in a league of their own.
