I'd like to do a song that's going to be on a Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young album in January - maybe February. Neil Young Empire Theatre, Liverpool, England November 6, 1973

I'd like to do this song now. It's going to on an album that might called by the name of this song, I don't know. We were going to call it that a couple months ago, but it didn't get done. Anyway, it's called Human Highway ... the next Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young record. Neil Young City Hall, Newcastle, England November 9, 1973

There were several Human Highway albums. I remember being in Albuquerque with Neil, he had just written the song [Human Highway] and wanted to call what was his next album was going to be at this point. This was on the Time Fades Away tour. Then, the CSNY album that they rehearsed in Hawaii in 1973 was also going to be called Human Highway and was going to include that track. That never happened. Then, when we were working on the film, the soundtrack was going to be called Human Highway.

I wrote this back in the early 70s. One of my early recordings was a project called ‘Oceanside Countryside, which I presented to Reprise records back then. I loved it. They did too, but they suggested I go into the studio and do complete records with a band. I had recorded it all by my self on ‘Oceanside Countryside’, doing all the overdubs. Hearing their ideas, I decided to go to Nashville and try some of the songs with an orchestra or band. ‘Human Highway’ was one of those - the track appearing as ‘song of the day’ today is the ‘OC’ original with overdubs of bass and drums and a bit more, just as it appeared on ‘Comes a Time’ Neil Young NYA Song Of The Day October 6, 2021

I made most of Comes a Time in Florida by myself, with these kids that were startin’ a recording studio—Triad. It was great. Used to come in in the afternoon and work three, four hours, go home. Did it all during the day. Acoustic guitars. Come in, lay down a basic, then I overdubbed—all me. Do overdubs on it with my acoustics, try a whole bunch of stuff. I did all kinds of things there—“Lost in Space” “Pocahontas” “Human Highway” “Goin’ Back.” Neil Young Shakey by Jimmy McDonough 2002

I‘d like to do a song for you now that ... it‘s a new song, but I think I can sing it good enough so it‘ll be an old song by the time it’s finished. This is something that I wrote in Hawaii. Hawaii which is one of the wonderful United States. Let’s have a little sun on that palm. Neil Young Rainbow Theatre, London, England November 5, 1973
