Sleeps with Angels is the 22nd studio album by Canadian-American musician Neil Young, released on August 16, 1994, on Reprise as a double LP and as a single CD.

Young's seventh album with Crazy Horse, it was co-produced by long-time collaborator David Briggs who died the following year.

"[8] The early 1990s were something of a comeback and second career pinnacle for Young with the release of 1989's Freedom, 1990's Ragged Glory and 1992's Harvest Moon.

[12] The album features a variety of unique instruments, including bass marimbas, vibes, synthesizers and a tack piano on "My Heart" and "A Dream That Can Last".

The title track was inspired by the death of Kurt Cobain, who quoted Young in his suicide note, with the rest of the album having been recorded before that event.

I wrote some music for that feeling: "Sleeps with Angels"," Young remembers in his memoir, Waging Heavy Peace.

"[17] Young wrote the first lyrics to the song on a matchbook during a charity golf tournament hosted by Eddie Van Halen.

Promotional videos were later shot for the songs "My Heart," "Prime Of Life," "Change Your Mind," and "Piece Of Crap" by director Jonathan Demme.

On October 1-2, the group played acoustic sets at the annual Bridge School Benefit concerts featuring seven of the album's songs.

On October 22, the group played a similar setlist in Sedona, Arizona at the Verde Valley scholarship benefit festival.
