Neil Young's most popular album, Harvest employs a number of different styles. Much of it is country-tinged, although there is also an acoustic track, a couple of electric guitar-drenched rock performances, and two songs on which Young is accompanied by the London Symphony Orchestra. But the album does have an overall mood and an overall lyric content, and they conflict with each other: the mood is melancholic, but the songs mostly describe the longing for and fulfilment of new love.
Young's concerns are perhaps most explicit on the controversial "A Man Needs a Maid," which contrasts the fears of committing to a relationship with simply living alone and hiring help.
Over and over, he sings of the need for love in such songs as "Out on the Weekend," "Heart of Gold," and "Old Man" and it's the love songs and the harrowing portrait of a friend's descent into heroin addiction, "The Needle and the Damage Done," which remain among Young's most affecting and memorable songs.
