"Don't Let It Bring You Down" is the seventh track on Neil Young's album After the Gold Rush. It was written by Young. It also appears on the 1971 Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young live album Four Way Street as well as Young's 2007 album Live at Massey Hall 1971, which was recorded in 1971. John Reed wrote an arrangement of this for The Hampton String Quartet in 2006.

On the CSNY Live Album Four Way Street, Young says, "Here is a new song, it's guaranteed to bring you right down, it's called 'Don't Let It Bring You Down'. It sorta starts off real slow and then fizzles out altogether." The crowd then roars with laughter.

Cover versions:

The song was covered by Sting's pre-Police band Last Exit, as part of their 1974 Impulse Studio Demos.
It was also covered by Victoria Williams on the 1989 anthology album The Bridge: A Tribute to Neil Young.
Annie Lennox covered the song on her 1995 Medusa album; her version also appeared in the movie American Beauty (1999), although it wasn't included on the film's soundtrack album.
A performance of the song by Seal appears on his 2006 live album One Night to Remember.
The alternative rock band Q And Not U covered the song for their compilation album "Don't Know When I'll Be Back Again".
The 1990s alternative rock band Weeping Tile covered the song on their first album, "eePee".
Australian electronic artist Apell covered the song in drum'n'bass style on his 2008 album "Reconstituted".

I want to dedicate this video to All my youtube Friends.... thanks for being so nice and supportive with me and my music....
"Life sometimes can be hard... but remember my friend... don't let it bring you down..."
Peace

  • Hi, you are amazing! one question did you use palm muting while strumming? cause i am not able achieve same effect as you, while strumming..

  • @praneethaitharaju

    Yeah, muting is all on the right hand.... you just have to keep the hand very close to the strings... The only way to get it is to keep practicing...

    Thanks for your comment

    Peace
