It has been covered by many bands, including a 1990 single by Saint Etienne . </P> <P> The song is the third track on Neil Young's album After the Gold Rush . The song was supposedly written for Graham Nash after Nash's split from Joni Mitchell, though Young in interviews has been somewhat tentative in admitting or remembering this . Released as a single in October 1970, it became Young's first top 40 hit as a solo artist, peaking at number 33 in the U.S. The single was issued with a Crazy Horse version of "Birds" (rather than the solo piano version of the album) on the B - side, apparently accidentally . The song is praised as a "seemingly simple song which display (s) considerable attention to detail in the deployment of instruments ." </P>
