Neil Young heard about (read?) Kurt Cobain's suicide note, where Kurt Cobain quoted a line from Neil Young's song "My My, Hey Hey", Kurt Cobain writing that "It's better to burn out, than to fade away." Neil Young was horrified at this, and if I recall correctly, "Change Your Mind" was written as what Neil wished he could have told Kurt before Kurt chose to end his life.
