Patti Smith delivered an urgent yet tender cover of Neil Young's 'After the Gold Rush' on FallonTonight
Smith opened the performance with a short poem, in which she enumerated the chaos engulfing the world, while still ending on a hopeful note: “Yet I still keep thinking that/Something wonderful is about to happen/Maybe tomorrow/A tomorrow following a whole succession of tomorrows.”
As she brought the verse to a close, musician Tony Shanahan began playing “After the Gold Rush” on keys and Smith proceeded to sing the Young classic in a way that felt simultaneously unhurried yet urgent — a tension best captured in her decision to end the song with the “Look at mother nature on the run” line in an ostensible nod to the climate crisis.
