"There's a beauty and transcendence to be found in sadness."

Taken from Rust Never Sleeps; this song contains some of the most depressing yet epic leadwork, complimented by Neil's unmistakable voice.

One of my favorite songs ever. Pure audio heroin.

posted this in one of hoser's threads last month ;)

one of my favorite songs of all time too

they were all on PCP on the recording - or so I've heard

post by MikeOv at Oct 23,2009 4:02pm

Well, at least it now gets its own, official appreciation thread. We can both agree that it deserves it.

Do drugs and watch Rust Never Sleeps later or you're sxe.

I have the DVD. Watched it a few months ago.

post by MikeOv at Oct 23,2009 4:03pm

Me too, I usually watch it every couple of months or so.

let's start a band

post by MikeOv at Oct 23,2009 4:05pm

I like the way you think.

post by reimroc at Oct 23,2009 4:07pm

i love neil young.

post by FuckIsMySignature at Oct 23,2009 4:09pm

the more i listen to neil young the more i realize what a terrible guitarist/singer he is. excellent songwritter though for sure.

while everyone has their take on neil young, I disagree wholeheartedly with FIMS. but it's all good. I know a bunch of people that can't stand his voice

post by MikeOv at Oct 23,2009 4:13pm

It's an acquired taste. I like his voice, and it suits this song perfectly.

post by arilliusbm

at Oct 23,2009 4:20pm

I also like the lyrical content of this song.

post by FuckIsMySignature at Oct 23,2009 4:26pm

i do like a few of his songs ...mostly the stuff with CSNY and Buffalo Springfield but his solo stuff just aint my cup o whiskey.

post by MikeOv at Oct 23,2009 4:28pm

Me too. hernan Cortez was a piece of shit.

This thread would get more appreciation if it contained fappable material of a teenage pop star's provocative photos.

But fuck that shit, I'll stick to my audio heroin!

Definitely dig this song. And I love his guitar sound on this video

Brian District of Columbia, have you heard the studio version?

post by brian_dc

at Oct 23,2009 4:37pm

I can't remember. The only Neil Young solo album I know I have and listen to semi-frequently is the Dead Man soundtrack.

post by arilliusbm

at Oct 23,2009 4:38pm

Check it out. It's off their album Zuma.
Great album. The guitar tone does the song more justice than the live version IMO.

post by brian_dc

at Oct 23,2009 4:39pm

I shall take this recommendation. Danke.

post by MikeOv at Oct 23,2009 4:41pm

Live version > studio version. Without question.
Both rule though.

post by arilliusbm

at Oct 23,2009 4:42pm

you're outta the band

post by MikeOv at Oct 23,2009 4:43pm

Aww shucks

post by arilliusbm

at Oct 23,2009 4:43pm

YOURE OUTTA THE BAND FOR THINKING LIVE NEIL YOUNG IS BETTER THAN STUDIO NEIL YOUNG

post by MikeOv at Oct 23,2009 4:43pm

I was never cut out for it anyway.

at Oct 23,2009 4:44pm

I'm waiting to read Martin's comments on this. It's the opinion that really matters

I'm not even that big on Neil Young and don't know much about his catalog but this is also one of my favorite songs of all time.

Studio version is better IMHO:

That version is shortened?

post by cav nli at Jul 22,2010 5:42pm

cortez is definitely a top 5 neil young song. there is no such thing as a BEST song when it comes to neil but if there was, this MIGHT be it.

post by blessed offal nli at Jul 22,2010 5:58pm

seriously such a great song

post by arilliusbm

at Apr 5,2011 5:27pm

Bump. Song still slays.. he may play it live next week

post by BSV at Jun 13,2011 7:03pm

it's such a relaxing version. the leads drag you in. i want to somehow make this into a nice doom song, but keep the same feel. gonna make it a goal of mine.

post by arktripolius at Jun 13,2011 7:50pm

ughhhhh so BACKED.

post by BSV at Jun 13,2011 8:58pm

i've been wanting to cover this for awhile........

post by IllinoisEnemaBradness at Jun 13,2011 9:19pm

I just recorded a version of Don't Let it Bring You down, I can't get the vocals right though. I too, love this song

post by LPCustom at Jun 13,2011 9:48pm

Any Neil Young love is back to a million. Fucking awesome.
