- “Old Man take a look at my life, I’m a lot like you”. 13 significant words sung in unison between Australian singer/songwriter Chris Cavill & his talented 8-year old son, Jesse. It all started with a 60 second reel on Instagram that went a little bit viral, racking up over 900,000 views in 2 months, driving the father and son duo to hit the studio to record this live version. Recorded in one take at Melbourne’s ‘The Aviary’ studio by the amazing Fraser Montgomery, the song is now available on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon and all other digital streaming services.

What a wonderful, wonderful thing it is when parents and children can meet in the world of music! Dad will inevitably pass away (I'm a dad too) but the bond and intimate memories will never fade away...
A lost art
Amen to that
Or , in eternity they can reminisce with joy .
Together sooner or later “it all gets real . “
“Rock on “.
And I’m 64 so at 13 we had guitar , the song book / cords and Gold Rush Album .
As a matter of fact I was playing this song a few days ago . Um , on my guitar .
Now I’m the old man . One day we will all look back and say wow , it all went by so fast .
Think about it , it’s only the beginning for good .
And this is wonderful ! Amen . God says “don’t exasperate your sons but lead them in the way that they should go . “ Ok dad , lead .
Peace and God bless .
Well said
Your beautiful comment brought tears to my eyes for a moment.
My Dad and I connected over music (and fishing, and nature, and humour, and a million other things), and he graduated to Heaven fifteen years ago, and I treasure a million memories in my heart ♥
I have spent my life connecting with my son, and now my grandchildren with music, books, nature and a million things, creating memories for them to hold and treasure after I'm gone. 😍🌿🙆🏻♀️
Wow, very nice.. amazing actually.
I listened to this when I was 16, 17 partying..not a care in the world..
Now I'm 58, close to 59. Listening to this from a different perspective now. How time flies.
Love it🙂
I know the feeling mate! Thanks for connecting :)
Yes maturity brings a sense of song.
I just turned 59 and thought the same thing listening to this.
Same here... Neil young was a staple in my teen years... and I'm now close to 60... another poignant song that rings true at my age now is Against the Wind by Bob Seger...
ha. I'm nearing 71, and I must have been listening to this at 17 or close to then. (and ever since). It's been a good time with Neil and artist like these on CZcams now to help us out.
Father and son duo playing old man, it’s beautiful
The world is falling in love with you both right now, One of the most beautiful, well executed, straight from soul covers I have ever heard. Just amazing.
Oh wow, thanks so much for this beautiful comment. :)
Totally agree with Raine.
Thank you for sharing your music with us. I'm obsessed now. I can only imagine where your path will lead you, as a boy mom, the fact that you can share this beautiful journey with your son, well, I honestly can't think of anything better in the world.. enjoy the ride, I have no doubts the sky is the limit. 🎶🌍❤
Agree💞
What a wonderful bond to have between father and son..an amazing start to his young singing career and his feet don’t even touch the floor yet.
This is just GREAT. I love this song, but seeing dad, Chris, and son Jesse perform it really warms my heart. I am sure Neil Young would be proud !! More from these two, please!
We are so happy this has made you feel this way :) Many thanks
This was just absolutely beautiful. Lovely music and perfect singing. Thank you both.
Great parenting, we need future generations to know the importance of real, meaningful music.
Father , son ...born of Music..
There should be a "love" icon for this. WOW!!!!!
Who knew a song from 50 years ago could create such magic between a father and son. Absolutely beautiful! Subscribed.
Chris and his son Jesse are extremely talented...Hope they do more songs together!!!
I saw Neil Young sing this in 1971 or 1972. it was new back then. I think he'd like this version. I liked hearing the young voice as representing the youth of that old man that still dwells within
Years ago, I remember Neil Young telling the story of writing this song, and how it’s about the old caretaker on his ranch in California.
Live at Massey Hall 1971! I remember hearing this for the first time too!
Yes, Neil lived down the road from us in Half Moon Bay his ranch was in Pescadero...
I heard him saying this also.
The bond between Father and Son. Short is a life not lived. These memories will last an eternity.
Chris! What a duo!! Your son is your perfect match. Just beautiful.
Beautiful!
Timeless, a moment can last a lifetime.
Wow! Not sure what else to say! I lost my dad last year. He was truly my hero. Even though I’m 52, and have grown children (and now a grandchild) I often looked to him for guidance and advice. Miss my old man, and I truly am I lot like he was!
Teach the young ones about the best music ever recorded. That's awesome and when it's your young one, it makes it even better !!❤👍
It sure is an amazing feeling my friend! :)
Love seeing father and son bond through art
No, that is so gorgeous! Brought tears. Dad so proud of his boy. Apart from cutness overload, musically beautiful. One of my favourites, and performed amazingly. Thank you for what you do.
Nicely done! We'll be hearing more from Chris and Jesse!
Thank You 😇 l was your Son's age when l was Playing and Singing and listening to Neil Young's Music 🌹🕊️ lm 63 years younger now 👍 Thank You for keeping the music alive👍🕊️✌️
I cannot say enough great things about this song. You have both captured something so beautiful. Thanks for sharing this.
Just the most beautiful version ❤🙏🏼❤️👏
Making fathers jealous all around the world. Love it 😊
Beautiful song and the talent between a Father and son is priceless!
Makes my heart sooooo happy! Great rendition of a great song! Lots of memories for a 70 year old man!!!
Love this, my dad was a music man. Lost him in late 2021. THIS MOVED ME. Thank you.
Sorry to hear of the loss of your Dad.
Xxxx
My Heart to yours dear love!
I love to see families with kids playing music together. What a great gift it is for the kids.
Beautiful! This time spent together is eternal, the boy learning guitar and good music. Love love love!!!
It's an ukelele.
Beautiful...pure magic...treasure this time... God Bless You both... 💖💡🙏🌞
Best cover I have heard of one of my favorite songs. Excellent work.
That last chorus when that little guy really gets comfortable,,,, AWESOME ❤
my favorite. glad the younger generartion still hears the beauty of this song. i couldnt help but sing along. that young boy has a beautiful voice and surrounded by music like I see hear. He will go far. Thank you for sharing your gifts with us.
Hi, thank you two for this awesome performance! I am a fan of Neil Young Songs and play Old Man and Heart of Gold almost daily! Great Harmony with your guitar and your son's ukulele! Music unites the world! It must be an amazing feeling sharing your passion Chris with your son Jesse! Cheers, Michael from Germany 🎸🎼🎵👋👋👋👍👍
Thank you Michael. It sure is!
Father and Son💪 y'all sound Great 👍🏹🎵🎵🎶🎵
My old man's been gone for 32 years, he died fairly young at 52. Everything I do is to make him proud. Love this! Thank you.
Blessings on your journey I am sure he's watching ♥️
Finding this has restored my faith. Best Father & Son duo. Both so blessed! Bravo!
Your vocals blended so beautifully. I felt so incredibly at peace hearing a song I use to listen to when I was a young girl. I admire Jesse taking the time to learn how to play an instrument and love the fact his father probably taught him. I just feel your love ❤️ I can’t remember anyone ever taking their time to teach me anything. I’m from the era where kids were taught to stay quiet and stay out of sight. Warms my heart seeing you embrace the beautiful soul you created. Many blessings to you and your family. 🙏💝✌️
Thank you so much, what a beautiful version of one of my favorite songs. Absolutely gorgeous!
Love it. The boy does a great job harmonizing with his dad.
Exactly what I needed to see and hear today. Thank you for sharing.Ive subscribed!!!
Just amazing... love watching parents and there children making music...
if i was Neil watching my song come out of child like this, id be weeping like a baby. heck, im not Neil and im fighting it back. lol
This is legendary 🙌 it left me speechless its so Erie to hear the sound of youth and adult singing a song about reflection of view from one generation to another
Exactly Charles , what a way to cover this song having a young voice in harmony with his dad .
Wow, at 74, long ago, heard it the first time it came out. Now its come full circle. This was excellent and a lovely performance by both of you.
solid chill bumps, the blending of your voices...pretty sure Neil would dig your cover...and young man, you caused the hairs to stand up on the. back of my neck...your voice is pure, perfect pitch and marvelous, "only the beautiful is marvelous:"...Andre Briton...Dad's voice is too, of course...lol. thank you, and all manner of good fortune to both of you and your family...and everyone reading this too!
Wow, beautiful. I’m 71 and that song was part of my growing up days. I could listen to you guys all day….WELL DONE!
Outstanding Jesse, keep on singing and strumming. You will have it for life. Bravo to father and son.
Wow. So good. Always liked this song but this takes it to a whole another level. But it’s not just the song, of course. The voice and the playing of the son over his dad’s is really something, like he’s on his shoulders. This really was so good.
This is a wonderful cover of one of my favorites, perfectly executed by a beautiful father son duo! My favorite cover yet!!!
OMG. Their voices are so very beautiful. Let’s have lots more of Chris and Jesse Cavill!
I have goosebumps all over! Excellent!
...listened to this when i was young...now in 70's...so well done and touching. Life is quick...
This is one of the best things I’ve seen lately. What a wonderful father and son version of Old Man 😊
2024 and you all even sound more awesome .

One of my favourite Neil young songs executed fantastic by a young buck and his old fellow, great
A very fine song to listen to, especially with 2 fine musicians.🐣
That's what a real father looks like. It takes a man to help raise children. God bless you both.
Absolutely beautiful. Not just the song or the people, but their relationship!
This really is beautiful in every way. Thank you. Best wishes from England 🇬🇧 👏
Each has his own style and voice, loving’ this!
I'm speechless for so many reasons. Exquisite 🤍
What a beautiful duel, very nice and very entertaining. This song has lots of meaning to NY he would be so proud that you and this young man would make take the time to perform this beautiful song. 👍 message from SD california.
Memories...the only asset class that not only appreciates over time...but are guaranteed to become ...priceless.
Beautiful
I listened to this when a teenager. You both did it beautifully. Gave me goose bumps.
Best rendition of this song I ever heard! Love the father/son duo. ❤
I am imagining a daily visit to this musical masterpiece. Took my favorite song and made a beautiful memory and gifted it to us. Thank you.
Thank you, that was absolutely beautiful and heartwarming. It always amazes me how many talented people there are in this world. Dad holds his own with any singer/songwriter I’ve heard and I’m a pretty old guy. Jim Croce would have bought tickets to hear this guy. Add his son, ❤️
I'm 70 and you said it so well. Yes, Croce...
This song is legend!!Just one of Neil Young's masterpieces!❤
Music is the unspoken bond that forms a lifetime of love. Teaches appreciation for one another unlike anything else. Sheer beauty and heartfelt joy. ML&R from Colorado. ❤️
Love this song. Is so great seeing the two generations sing it.
Music, the one language that transcends time and space... This is magical.
I just love this dad and son team....so talented.!!!
❤🎉❤ Little dude got through the entire song without missing a word or a note! Hope to see more of you both soon!
He's a big talent, but I am biased ;-)
Beautiful song, beautifully sung. Tears in my eyes.
Really digging the vibe with father and son doing Neil Young. Well done.
Pop, your a great insperation to your son, to put the time, knolwedge, and love into your son. You just don't see it anymore, congrats pop your son and yourself have something special !!!
I’m saving this so I can watch it over and over . Yes, it’s that beautiful.
Awesome job guys one of my favorite songs
Just stumbled onto this randomly. I’m a big Neil Young fan, you guys nailed the cover, so good!
Beautiful! I love the phrasing in the chorus, the little pauses. 👏
Thank you. Many special moments!
You to are beautiful my God BLESS you and yours 💯💗💋 Great hands up for you
Its like listening to a 12 string guitar sing! The genetic harmony is one thing but Jesse's phrasing is like he is 24 and so much more! well done!
Beautiful! Nice to see younger people appreciate Young's music!
Makes me immediately think of 'The Cat's in the Cradle, & the Silver Spoon.'
🐈 ♥️
My dad has been gone 22 years Miss ya daddy Thanks for this Beautiful!

Wow! Your son Is a natural. Great duo. ❤
Very nice. Really enjoyed listening. Jesse seems to somehow relate to the lyrics despite being so young.
I don't comment on much, but as a parent, this made me smile and sing, and it was so lovely to see the raw talent in the lad. Thank you!
I'm speechless ❤️❤️❤️
