JAKARTA - Musician Neil Young gave something valuable to the fans. After 50 years, he returned to perform the song Pardon My Heart on stage.

He presented the monumental action at the Fireside Sessions right on Christmas Day on Wednesday, December 25 yesterday. The song, which was first released in 1975, was finally heard back on stage.

A little flashback, the song is Neil Young's collaboration with Crazy Horse. The track was included in Zuma's November 1975 album which became one of the memorable works of the Canadian musician.

Throughout history, the song has only been performed twice. Even after it was officially released, the song was never included in the list at all.

The first appearance at that time took place at the New York Bottom Line on May 16, 1974. Neil performed it as a surprise set, calling the song a new love song he learned.

Neil Young has his own emotional bond with the song he wrote. "This is a love song, one of the saddest things I've ever seen," he said, quoted from Billboard, December 29.

Then the second appearance occurred at Crosby's reunion, Stills Nash & Young, which was again taking place in New York. The date itself was recorded on August 15 in the same year.

Reportedly, Pardon My Heart was written by Neil Young on the inspiration of his story with Carrie Snodgress. Fans who can watch the song live certainly feel lucky, being a witness to the romance, heartbreak and history of the musician's career.
