Neil Young movie

Late Wednesday last night I watched a DVD of a concert Neil Young gave in 2005 before he had surgery for a brain aneurysm. The movie is: Neil Young: Heart of Gold.

I've been a fan of Neil Young since his days with the group, Buffalo Springfield. If you are a fan of Neil Young, especially of his acoustic "Harvest Moon" side, then this is a movie you should watch. The movie is Neil and his friends - including the lovely Emmylou Harris, performing at the Ryman Theater in Nashville, Tennessee.

Since the outcome for his brain surgery was uncertain, the concert mood was poignant.

Here is a promo video clip for the movie.

I liked the music so much I played the DVD again tonight to listen to its music in the background.

"Heart Of Gold"

I want to live,
I want to give
I've been a miner
for a heart of gold.
It's these expressions
I never give
That keep me searching
for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old.
Keeps me searching
for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old.

I've been to Hollywood
I've been to Redwood
I crossed the ocean
for a heart of gold
I've been in my mind,
it's such a fine line
That keeps me searching
for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old.
Keeps me searching
for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old.

Keep me searching
for a heart of gold
You keep me searching
for a heart of gold
And I'm growing old.
I've been a miner
for a heart of gold.

Here is a youtube video of Neil performing the song back in the 1970s.
