EPISODE SUMMARY:
How important is the meaning behind a song? Can music actually encapsulate a given emotion like love or sadness? Or is it all in the context of who is listening and how they understand and interpret it? These are the questions that cross actor, author and musician David Duchovny's mind when listening to rock legend Neil Young's 1975 album Tonight's the Night. Rife with grief and written in a turbulent time in Young's career, the record certainly contains a lot with unpacking and examining.
