Life is a 1987 album by Neil Young & Crazy Horse.

The first three tracks all handle the topic of world politics, and ponder the role of the United States in the world. "Long Walk Home," for example, empathizes with troops under deployment overseas. Though in response to the foreign policy issues of the time (Beirut, Qaddafi), Young found new meaning in these songs in the context of the war on terror and the occupation of Iraq. During his "Freedom of Speech" tour in support of Living With War, Young posted videos of these three songs on his website, located here. The performances are from his 1986 tour with Crazy Horse and are labeled as being "from Archives Volume 3," a highly anticipated but perennially unreleased series of box sets chronicalling Young's career.
