That song was started in 1975, but I never finished it. In 1976, [bassist] Tim Drummond heard it and said: 'You've got to finish that, man. That's like Harvest stuff, let's do that.' And that kinda freaked me out, I got spooked by it, because it was like someone said what it was before we did it. I don't want to feel like I'm just filling in the numbers." Neil Young Rolling Stone/Alan Light December 1992

This guitar was given to me by my old friend Stephen Stills. This song I haven't played in a long time, so I might screw this up for you - but maybe not. Neil Young Citi Performing Arts Center Wang Theatre, Boston, Massachusetts, USA October 5, 2014

GW: Do all the songs on Harvest Moon come from a particular period of time? YOUNG: There's two groups of songs on the record: those that I started a long time ago and were finished in 1991 or '92, and those that were written entirely in other years. For example, "One Of These Days" was written in '85, "Natural Beauty" and "Dreamin' Man" in '89, "Unknown Legend" was '82 and '92. All different periods. I also composed a couple of songs last summer while on vacation with my wife and kids in Evergreen, Colorado. I wrote "War Of Man" and I finished "You And Me," which I started in 1975^*. There were 17 or 18 possibilities for Harvest Moon. The songs that didn't make the cut are just waiting for something else, I guess. Neil Young Guitar World/Gary Graff June 1993 * - The intro to "I Am A Child" at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion on Feb 1, 1971 contained a fragment of "You And Me"
