After the Gold Rush- Trio (cover of Neil Young)

This is Neil Young's haunting vision of a world after an environmental holocaust. Earth ruined, the remnants of humanity must leave. This brilliant cover includes not only the voices of Emmylou Harris, Dolly Parton, and Linda Ronstadt, but also accompaniment on harmonium adding an ethereal quality.

After the Gold Rush- Neil Young (1970)

Well, I dreamed I saw the knights in armor coming,
Saying something about a queen.
There were peasants singing and drummers drumming
And the archer split the tree.
There was a fanfare blowing to the sun
That was floating on the breeze.
Look at Mother Nature on the run
In the nineteen seventies.
Look at Mother Nature on the run
In the nineteen seventies.

I was lying in a burned out basement
With the full moon in my eyes.
I was hoping for replacement
When the sun burst thru the sky.
There was a band playing in my head
And I felt like I could cry.
I was thinking about what a friend had said
I was hoping it was a lie.
Thinking about what a friend had said
I was hoping it was a lie.

Well, I dreamed I saw the silver space ships flying
In the yellow haze of the sun,
There were children crying and colors flying
All around the chosen ones.
All in a dream, all in a dream the loading had begun.
They were flying Mother Nature's silver seed to a new home in the sun.
Flying Mother Nature's silver seed to a new home.
