The melody "Old Man" initially showed up on Neil Young's 1972 Harvest collection. With its pounding and shoddily picked acoustic guitar, high-tenor lead vocals and general society sound and feel "Old Man" has turned into one of Neil Young's most paramount tunes. What was the enthusiasm behind this melody and what renowned artists loaned their abilities to make this musical artful culmination?
"Old Man", which arrived at no. 31 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles outline in 1972, opens with Young singing: "Old man take a gander at my life, I'm a ton like you were." As audience members we promptly end up pondering about the personality of the old man. Was it Young's father? Granddad? Obviously there is dependably the likelihood the "old man" is an analogy and there truly is no old man fundamentally. In any case we have now come to realize there was truth be told a particular old man to whom Young was singing.
In 1970 Neil Young bought the Broken Arrow Ranch in Redwood City, California. Obviously it is the guardian of this farm who is the subject of this melody. In Young's late show film Heart of Gold he presents "Old Man" by saying: "About that time when I composed Heart of Gold and I was visiting, I had likewise - recently, you know, being a rich hipster shockingly - I had obtained a farm, regardless I live there today. What's more there was a couple living on it that were the guardians, an old noble man named Louis Avila and his wife Clara. Furthermore there was this old blue Jeep there, and Louis took me for a ride in this blue Jeep. He gets me up there on the top side of the spot, and there's this lake up there that encouraged all the pastures, and he says, "Well, let me know, how does a young person like yourself have enough cash to purchase a spot like this?" And I said, "Well, simply fortunate, Louie, simply true fortunate." And he said, "Well, that is the darndest thing I ever heard." And I composed this melody for him."

Obviously realizing what we now know makes it that much less demanding to comprehend whatever is left of the tune's verses which include: "Old man take a gander at my life, twenty four and there such a great deal more. Live alone in a heaven that makes me think about two. Love lost, such an expense, provide for me things that don't get lost. Like a coin that won't get threw, moving home to you."
