[talking about Joni Mitchell] She writes about her relationships so much more vividly than I do. I use...I guess I put more of a veil over what I'm talking about. I've written a few songs that were as stark as hers. Songs like "Pardon My Heart," "Home Fires," "Love Art Blues"...almost all of Homegrown. I've never released any of those. And I probably never will. I think I'd be too embarrassed to put them out. They're a little too real. Neil Young Rolling Stone interview with Cameron Crowe August 14, 1975

The song that I just played [Homefires] was played in a session in the redwoods in 1974 maybe, somewhere in there. The song I played just now, you may have heard or may have not heard, was right before this one [Love Is A Rose]. So I played that one [Homefires] and recorded it and I played this one [Love Is A Rose]. Different guitars too. Neil Young Auditorium Theater, Chicago, Illinois, USA July 1, 2018
