I don't think i say or even think this enough, but i love Neil Young. That just came to mind as i was listening to
this amazing acoustic version of Cortez The Killer that i came across.
In its
original state, it's usually a thundering beast of a song, with the gale winds from Neil's guitar solos leaving you in its wake as if a hurricane blew by. But with just Neil and an acoustic guitar that he plays so beautifully here, it feels completely different. This version distills all the pain and beauty in the story Neil's telling and lays it out front. That of a forgotten people, of lives and loves that we won't ever know.
10 minutes of pure beauty.
