my dear friend graham smith 0gs is a contender for greatest living songwriter n this might be his finest work. this version specifically because it is better than the version on the (incredible) Yes Boss. wow look this video was made by eric fensler of gi joe psa fame. he ruined my songwriting forever and i love him for it. book him for shows he lives in nyc

By Joni Mitchell & Graham Nash. I prefer the demo because I think it's so sweet when Nash messes up a line and Joni laughs. Gorgeous song

As an album it's a tough listen; a drunken, shambolic affair that was recorded with a pretty loose assembly of musicians in the wake of the deaths of two of Neil's close friends (one his guitarist, one his longtime roadie) from drug ODs.
But this version of "World On A String" comes from his super-underrated "Unplugged" album (1993) and there's enough distance between the original 1973 recording sessions and a 90s world that appreciated "Uncle Neil" as a grunge forebear to appreciate it for what it is: "I have fame, I have dough, I have a ranch, it don't matter, my friends are gone." Pure heartfelt lament.
