Dead Man is the soundtrack to the 1995 Jim Jarmusch western-themed film of the same name starring Gary Farmer, and Johnny Depp as William Blake. Neil Young recorded the soundtrack by improvising (mostly on his electric guitar, with some acoustic guitar, piano and organ) as he watched the newly edited film alone in a recording studio. The soundtrack album consists of seven instrumental tracks by Young, with dialog excerpts from the film and Johnny Depp reading the poetry of William Blake interspersed between the music. The version of the main theme used over the film's beginning and end credits is not included, but was released as a promo single. The soundtrack differs from the film in that it uses background noises of a driving car while the whole plot is set in the 19th century (before automobiles were invented).

"Dead Man (Carry Me)" is a song written and performed by Jars of Clay. It is the first radio single from their 2006 studio album, Good Monsters. A live concert version of the song appears on the Live Monsters EP, while the album version appears on the compilation albums Indoor Picnic Music (2006, Nettwerk), Penny Candy (2006, Nettwerk), and WOW Hits 2007 (2006, EMI Christian Music Group). A music video for the song was released in 2007, which was compiled from concert video footage taken by fans by means of their mobile phones. The radio edited version is less "heavy" than the album version, featuring keyboards louder than electric guitars.
