My cover of Neil Young's Dead Man, the soundtrack to Jim Jarmusch's 1995 western-themed film of the same name. Neil Young recorded the soundtrack by improvising (mostly on his electric guitar, with some acoustic guitar, piano and organ) as he watched the newly edited film alone in a recording studio. The soundtrack album consists of seven instrumental tracks by Young, with dialog excerpts from the film and Johnny Depp reading the poetry of William Blake interspersed between the music. This version of the main theme used over the film's beginning and end credits is not included in the film's soundtrack, which is preposterous because Young made the film's score. However, this track was released as a promo single. Feel free to comment on my cover, and if you haven't heard the original you should probably go do that first lol. Show less
