Song playing in American Beauty

In American Beauty, after Jane and Ricky have decided to run away together and Angela has said they deserve each other, Angela goes downstairs and puts on a record. Lester then comes into the room and the almost-sex-scene ensues.

What is the song she plays? I bought the soundtrack to get that particular song, and it’s not on there.

“Don’t let it bring you down” by Annie Lennox.

Actually a cover of a Neil Young song, and a rare instance of a cover being superior to the original.

The song is from her album of cover songs, “Medusa”, a very nice collection.
