The students of the Meanspeed® Free School sought to put an end to the dearth of information about the speed of a song that defines the speed just slow enough to be merciful, kind and graceful. At 77-79 beats per minute, the maudlin, bittersweet, sickly sweet nostalgia songs creep in. The speed here indicates an expression of POISE, PEACE and CONTENTMENT: grace.

Long May You Run is an album credited to “The Stills-Young Band” but is a de facto collaboration between Stephen Stills and Neil Young, released in September 1976. The Stills-Young Band recorded the album and began a tour in 1976 prior to the album’s release, but Young dropped out of the tour when he grew bored with the project, forcing Stills to complete the concert tour solo. The band was together from July through October of 1976. Outside of Stills and Young, the other members of the group came from Stills’ solo band.

1. Collaboration
The title track, the album’s first single, was an elegy for Neil Young’s 1948 Buick Roadmaster hearse, his first car. The album stemmed from a desire by both Young and Stills to pick up where they left off with their Buffalo Springfield-era guitar explorations. After a while, however, David Crosby and Graham Nash became involved with the project, and “Long May You Run” briefly became a CSNY album. But before long, Young and Stills decided to remove Crosby and Nash’s vocal harmonies from the album tracks in their absence.
