Neil Young

In 2015, when Neil Young performed 'Helpless' at the Wayhome Festival, he was enjoying a rich tapestry of his nearly five-decade career. Just a few months prior, in June, he released the album 'The Monsanto Years,' which reflected his passionate advocacy for environmental issues and agricultural reform—topics that consistently resonate in his music and activism. The performance, set amidst the natural backdrop of Canada, felt particularly poignant, as Young often ties his artistry to the themes of nature and protest. His emotionally charged songwriting shines through 'Helpless,' a track originally from the 1970 album 'Déjà Vu' and famously associated with Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. The festival atmosphere added a layer of intimacy to the already rich narrative of his career, allowing fans to connect deeply with his legacy.
