When I'm working on my laptop late at night, as I have been tonight, I sometimes put in a movie as background noise, which seems to help me focus somehow. I threw in "American Beauty" last night and noticed that the song "Don't Let it Bring You Down" caught my attention. In the movie, it's performed by Annie Lennox, although I didn't recognize her right off.
A search on MSN Music got me the song's various covers and informed me it was originally written and performed by Neil Young. If you want to hear a real contrast in two different performs, listen to the clips of Annie Lennox and Neil Young performing this same song. I think mayhaps Neil should stick to writing for others, although I know plenty of people seem happy to hear him sing.

HAHA! I've never cared for Neil's singing, but he is a pretty good song writer. He has the folk background and feel that I favor. I play guitar and sing with a Bluegrass band, but delve into some other types of music, too. This one might be worth learning!
