“Heart of Gold” is a classic folk-rock song that was recorded by Canadian singer/songwriter, Neil Young. It’s mostly characterized by its gentle acoustic guitar melody and Neil Young’s distinctive high-pitched vocals. The lyrics within reflect on life, aging, and the search for inner contentment.

This song, which features backup vocals by James Taylor and Linda Ronstadt, is very representative of Neil Young’s introspective, thoughtful songwriting, and soulful harmonica playing.
