Young Man For Older Man
Young Man For Older Man
" Old Man " is a song written and performed by Neil Young on his 1972 album Harvest .
The song was written for the caretaker of the northern-California Broken Arrow Ranch, which Young purchased for $350,000 in 1970. The song compares a young man's life to an old man's and shows that the young man has, to some extent, the same needs as the old one. James Taylor played six-string banjo (tuned like a guitar) and sang on the song, and Linda Ronstadt also contributed vocals.
In the movie Heart of Gold , Young introduces the song as follows:
He tells a similar story when introducing the song at a February 23, 1971 performance broadcast by the BBC (in which he says that he purchased the ranch from "two lawyers").
The song can be heard in the films Dogtown and Z-Boys , Wonder Boys , and Lords of Dogtown .
It can also be heard in Brian Foster's part of the BMX Video "FitLife" made by Fit Bike Co.
During actor Heath Ledger's Hollywood memorial service, "Old Man" was chosen to be played with a slideshow of pictures from Ledger's life.
At former St. Louis Blues Brett Hull's jersey retirement ceremony, this song was played as his jersey rose to the rafters.
