Round 1/Game 8 -

Neil Young - Philadelphia
https://youtu.be/IHpQFF_Et4s
Released - 1993
Written By - Neil Young
Songs Background - Young wrote this track 'Philadelphia' for the 1993 Jonathan Demme directed film of the same name. Demme originally asked Neil Young to write an opening track to the film. Six weeks later Young sent him over a tape, "We were crying the first time we heard it. I went : 'Oh.my god, Neil Young trusts this movie more than I do' said Demme in an interview regards the song.

The melancholic nature of Young's contribution led Demme to switch the song to the ending of the film, rather than the opening sequence.

https://youtu.be/VvEDgLgKXn4
Released - October 1970
Written By - Jerry Chesnut
Songs Background - "A Good Year for the Roses" describes the thoughts of a man as his wife is preparing to leave him, and is as good an example as any of Jones' ability to deliver an intensely moving vocal, in this case one that conveys both the sadness and profound bitterness that comes with a broken marriage.

Neil young

Neil Young, please Tek.

Had a wee think if I've really ever found a music track emotional, and there have been a couple.

Is 'Waterlow' by Mott the Hoople in this, Tek? It gets me every time.
