For Jackson, I'm pretty sure one of the greatest benefits of playing so much with David was that, no matter how many times they played the same song to different audiences, David would play something new, great, unexpected, appropriate, and inspiring. Feel free to add your own adjectives.
These words touch your soul. "Close your eyes, and try a few of these" I thought I was flying like a bird So far above my sorrow But when I looked down I was standing on my knees Now I need someone to help me Someone to help me please
It also refers to the innefrctiveness of drugs or alcohol for example, whenever you're feeling down. In the end it may feel like you're happier, but ultimately you're standing on your knees, crying for help.
Lindsey’s input always takes it to a higher level. Foreground, middle ground or background it just adds emotion for me. This audience just soak it up, no pointless hooting and hollering until it’s over.
Possibly Jackson's best song ever.. But it's a tough call. He has so many great ones. The Pretender, These Days, Jamaica, that one about dying men draw numbers in the air... so many great, great songs.
I'm sitting down by the highway Down by that highway side Everybody's going somewhere Riding just as fast as they can ride I guess they've got a lot to do Before they can rest assured Their lives are justified Pray to God for me baby He can let me slide 'Cause I've been up and down this highway Far as my eyes can see No matter how fast I run I can never seem to get away from me No matter where I am I can't help thinking I'm just a day away From where I want to be Now I'm running home, baby Like a river to the sea Baby, if you can see me Out across this wilderness There's just one thing I was hoping you might guess Baby you can free me All in the power of your sweet tenderness Yeah (yeah) Well, I can see it in your eyes You've got those bright baby blues You don't see what you've got to gain But you don't like to lose You watch yourself from the sidelines Like your life is a game you don't mind playing To keep yourself amused I don't mean to be cruel, baby But you're looking confused Baby if you can hear me Turn down your radio There's just one thing I want you to know When you've been near me I've felt the love stirring in my soul Yeah (yeah) Yes I have It's so hard to come by That feeling of peace This friend of mine said: "Close your eyes, and try a few of these" I thought I was flying like a bird So far above my sorrow But when I looked down I was standing on my knees Now I need someone to help me Someone to help me please Baby, if you need me Like I know I need you There's just one thing I'll ask you to do Take my hand and lead me To the hole in your garden wall And pull me through
One of the all time greatest duos ever, Browne and Lindley. JB is the quintessential singer/songwriter and Lindley is a band all by himself. Thanks for putting this up and may their music live forever!
i am listening to JB and DL for more than 4 decades. great lyrics, jackson´s way to play the guitar, and david´s extremely warm and distinguished pedal steel.. simply wonderful.
Great song!! The great song poet !! No matter how fast I run I can never seem to get away from me..... no matter where I am I can't help thinking I'm just a day away from where I want to be...
He's always been such a great songwriter - a true poet - but songs like these, when he was young and becoming aware, are just beyond great. What a great lyric and song, and with Lindley and I think that's Kortchmar as well. Just - no words. An American treasure.
Listening to this on 16 December 2022 - as relevant now as ever - indeed as I get older, and despite both success in business over the years and disappointment in relationships, I realise that, regardless of who, what and where I am, I look down and I am standing on my knees. Won't someone take my hand and lead me to the Promised Land
ya, soothing to the soul, I am having a second love affair with his music - it's like, he's a two-legged, walking sheet of musical notes, with sound no less!
I was there at the front, bunch of my mates who had never saw JB before said how much they enjoyed him, and I got his playlist from his acoustic show on the last night. Best time of my life Glastonbury
It's comforting and re-assuring that Mr. Lindley has lost none of his chops nor his impeccable, polyester panache. and Mr. Browne don't sound half-bad either.
Omg, I Frei so cheated, having such an awesome man be in LOVE with me: while I'm soooo self centered I let him go by. And that she would settle with a drummer for a night, throwing her would be FUTURE, back in his face. I don't want to remember anymore, Clyde, I'M SO SORRY, 😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥
