Enjoy the latest musical release by Neil Young and the Nelson brothers from Promise of the Real, along with your Independence Day festivities.
According to Rolling Stone,”Children of Destiny” is directed by Shakey Pictures, combines footage of recent large-scale protests alongside patriotic imagery like children waving American flags and Fourth of July cookouts.
“Preserve the land and save the seas for the children of destiny / The children of you and me,” Young sings on the track. “Stand up for what you believe / Resist the powers that be / Preserve the ways of democracy so the children can be free.”
“We made a live record and every creature on the planet seemed to show up,” Neil Young writes of 98-minute uninterrupted album
Neil Young’s upcoming album Earth (in stores June 17th) is one of the most unconventional releases in his long catalog, according to Rolling Stone.
On May 6th, Young will unveil Earth at the Natural History Museum Los Angles County’s First Fridays series.
The album features 11 songs from his 2015 tour with Promise of the Real mixed with sounds of the Earth.
“Our animal kingdom is well represented in the audience,” Young said in a statement.“And the animals, insects, birds, and mammals actually take over the performances of the songs at times.”

1. “People Want to Hear About Love” (from The Monsanto Years)
2. “Big Box” (from The Monsanto Years)
3. “Mother Earth” (from Ragged Glory)

Mystery surrounds the private show Neil Young and Promise of the Real performed in Paris the evening of Jan. 25, 2016.
According to UNCUT the event at Theatre Mogador was hosted by Carmignac, who describe themselves as “one of the leading asset managers in Europe” on their Twitter feed. And apparently billionaire Eduardo Carmignac joined Neil & musicians on stage.
Among the surprises in Young’s set the After the Goldrush track “Til the Morning Comes” made its live debut, 46 years after the album’s release.
Another cut from the same album, “Cripple Creek Ferry,” was played for the fourth time only, and the first time since 1997.
The set also included Edith Piaf’s “La Vie En Rose.”
Neil Young and Promise Of The Real have announced a batch of UK tour dates as part of their Rebel Content tour.
Young announced he would play Belfast (for the first time ever) and Dublin, as well as shows on mainland Europe – Leipzig on July 20 and Berlin on July 21.
The itinerary has now been expanded to take in Glasgow, Leeds and London.
