Bruce Hornsby - Mandolin Rain

[TheBlacksheep2020]

the guy playing the little guitar has a big bulge in his pants..haha...

[MrPROUSA]

Timeless......



[Sean121ful]

It is certainly one of those songs you play when it rains...it really speaks volumes

[Sean121ful]

This is the one song that you just can't write, only Bruce and the range could....classic!!

[Dreamofthereturn]

Some one said " so much water under the bridge since this this song came out"...

Nooo. This music is THE water running under every bridge in the next millions of years !!!

[Dreamofthereturn]

Crusaders of Songs !!!!

[marbleflat]

Sounds like a little guitar quote from Rainy Night In Georgia at 6:42..

[MandeeGirl19]

I was named after this song :) except i spell it Mandalynn

[marbleflat]

@MandeeGirl19

Way to go Mandylynn! ;)

At least they didn't call you Thewayitis..

[caddop22]

I don't think Bruce will ever really know how many people this song touched, and how I myself related to it.

[moejoeknows]

beautiful tune



[MRDEMORGAN1]

Timeless classic...talent, musician skills, emotional song and artists. Love this song.

[chenneyweny]

[racinxxx]

What loss .?

[hawkinsjennifer18]

This is the best song ever recorded

Sung by the best artist ever!!

[squirtlepower2001]

Dad used to play this for me when I was a kid... I'm 33 now and still love it!!!!!

[mern9]

@squirtlepower2001 me, too. is this one of those songs that dads played for kids in the 80s?

[squirtlepower2001]

@mern9 I think so... Bruce Hornsby...Don Henley... The Eagles etc. I think the music brought me close to my dad. Now years later I'm hearing the same songs...just brings me back!!!!!

[arfurlife]

why is youtube so good? Be cause you know you are not alone. Yes, magnificent song and artist.

[H4mmerofD4wn]

I LOVE THIS SONG! I remember listening to it, when I was growing up. :D

[71muzikman]

this is a beautiful song. the way bruce hornsby plays the piano cheers me up!

[mariminas72]

Vc é simplesmente ótimo no que se propõe a fazer! Sinto falta de canções como as suas hoje em dia! Essa em especial, todos tem uma história pra lembrar e relacionar. Você é o cara!

[jwk290]

This is a particularly moving song, I heard it the day after my wife passed, brought a flood of tears.

[MrPROUSA]

@jwk290 It sure is and I cant put my finger on why, its the piano note structure or his voice combined... I have tried to figure this out for years. Very powerful song. Very sorry for your loss.

[Neiccee]

@jwk290 Sorry for your loss :( God Bless you and your family.

[fikes73]

good god this wreaked me

[calebbullmule]

marc cohen comes close but this is religion

[samalyy]

beautiful <3

[MrFerdell]

Saw Hornsby play this once in a pouring rainstorm on solo piano, blew me away...

[jimwdirectsales]

you don't what you got till you lose it all again

[rankinlad]

So much water under the bridge since this song came out, and it still sums it all up.

[keithsmove]

Certainly one of the greatest songs ever written....

[BigJuneTX]

My first love and I would listen to this song over and over again

[Pats55583]

Heard this song on the radio in 2004 a month after a girlfriend of three years in highschool broke up with me because we were going to different colleges across the country. Made me tear up. Could never find this song, until years later I heard "That's just the way it is" and noticed a similar voice, and googled it. Even at 28, it still sends the same emotion I felt 10 years ago in the car. Thanks for the memories.

[XxGnarlyDUDExX]

lol i live next door to him

[MegaShelms]

I remember watching Bruce Hornsby at a free concert in Grand Rapids Michigan summer of 86 I think. What a great talent and a beautiful song.

[Bluemagik1113]

this song is SUPERB!! Man the memories, I love when song can touch you and take you right back to the day you heard it!!

[angelrapz]

i hve bben searching 4 dis sng nd finally found it :-)! loooove it!

[WishesSailorMoon]

Sweet song. Bittersweet

[civnozaut]

@WishesSailorMoon like that bittersweet :)

[WishesSailorMoon]

[WishesSailorMoon]

@WishesSailorMoon Yeah it is though :)

[Yunier002]

OMG this is one of my favorites song, listening it makes me feel in other planet, simply amazin! LOVE IT!

[iminent=h5aSh6YVffOB]

[doctormcgoveran]

I loved a legally blind woman, with a bad leg, with all my heart one time. I figured out how she could use a rifle scope to see and I rubbed her bad leg for hours until she could run again, and then she saw some where to go and ran away.I still miss her and the song almost makes me cry tears, what a talent this band has. I like to hear it when I am sad and miss her.

[willypdyer]

Dear Bruce: STILL Awesome - after all these years !~!

[tonynmisty]

I love the music by Bruce Hornsby-My parents played the heck out of it when i was growing up,was some of there fav songs,and I am 31 yrs old now,and I find that the songs they would play by him,r some of my favs as well:)

[Bratchickee]

Every time it rains I think of this song. and it too reminds me of the summer rains of the late sixties, and the seventies.

[1957thack]

Bruce As the time rolls on! I forgot how dam good and multi -talented you truly are! You have proven your place in American Music history along with your inspiring & timeless collaborations with Bonnie Raitt , Don Henley & all the others!

[SuperCassie2007]

i remember listening to this song and all other easy listening sonds of the 80's in the warm autumn air up at my property in michigan. It takes me back to my childhood and the warm feeling i had at peace witheverything

[araxen]

This is one of the greatest songs ever created.

[chriswz261]

@araxen...AGREED. Definetely one of the BEST!

[massh0le3]

love this song, but also hard to hear some times

[canopyroad]

i actually kissed a girl named afton under a carnival tent in the rain. So this song brings back that memory cause i havent seen her since!!!!

[IshtarSouheiir]

Thank you Thank you Thank you

Another song that has saved my sanity

Priceless Phenomena

[Scooteribcruisin]

awesome



[jwk290]

yeah summer nights in the 80's, listening to music playing with friends. A time of innocence, and now that innocence is lost.

[71muzikman]

Bruce Hornsby is a piano genius

[kwm627]

U r the best. From Malaysia.

[max229001]

running in a green low grass field pursuing love with the summer heat , tha smell of the grass the humid in the air from a far away storm ......home sweet home Alabama.....miss u

[Whyusaydat1]

Simply beautiful.... Even as it pertains to a love lost, I can relate. Lord know, I can relate far, far, too well.

[firedragon558]

i love this song,,remainds me ,,my only and unik love,,but she desides to left me after 15 years of marriage,,little problems like everi1 does,,she left me 4 some looser ,,well life is life,,i still love her ,,mis u like hell Claudia,,,maybe will b 2gether somewhere in time ,,

[Jennifer19827]

Such a sweet yet sad song at the same time...Hornsby has the rare ability of combining the two in a melodic song that touches fans' hearts.

[nowhereman1962]

this song reminds me of a lady that i dated on and off about a dozen times that i loved very much, she was bipolar and she finally killed herself this year and i think of her everytime i hear this song. love you lisa

[takeitoutify]

Hornsby and the Range had one of the MOST BEAUTIFUL sounds of any musical artist out there.

[jailman89]

pure art on the piano...

[LAGOON118]

Every time I hear this song it takes me back to the old college days at I.U.. Met a great chic from Dallas. We were inseparable . Things went real wrong and she left school. This song makes me think of her every time I hear it. Miss you AMY!

[dyad2r1]

15 people have had their hearts broken.

[shoestringvolley]

One of the rare tunes that appeals to the heart and memory of days gone by without a hint of the cheesy factor. Bruce Hornsby is one gifted dude!

[samklittle]

Sweeeeeeet !! reminds me of these endless summer nights in the late 80's, by far the most beautiful years of my life....Thank You God!!

[CommentCommenter]

Bon Iver?

[MrWildthing17]

15 people can't hear the rain.

[jwphx1962]

I saw them the next year (1988). One of the best live shows I've ever seen. He is excellent in concert.

[qwilliams424]

this song gives me like 100 lady boners

[yescyam]

This was the first Bruce Hornsby hit I heard, and have been hooked ever since. And along with Thunderlips, my wife would never understand. Thanks for the memory !

[jmlotha]

[ldarden7]

One of my favorite musicians.

[shockvaluesracing]

He has the edgy Phil Collins style. Actually a little better. loving this song.

[ldarden7]

One of my favorite musicians. This man can really play the piano like no other.

[jstats13]

Such an amazing song!!!!! Makes me smile and cry at the same time!!! I don't know whether I love or hate it....probably both

[littledrummergirl71]

wow! I love this song, sure takes me back to memories of jammin to this and his other song the way it is, playing air drums and getting lost in the music on my boom box. what a beautiful and cool classic tune!

[blwc1960]

one of few albums that i liked from start 2 finish! saw him in concert at harding univ. man, what a talent! the man has a true gift from God!

[thaATLien]

[missmusiclover59]

[JuniorTeddy1]

Great



[slyflyby]

Bruce is the man! Now there are a dozen folks that are deaf...sorry people.

[madmike10875]

The sound of Rain on my window panes puts me to sleep easily.This song reminds me of that.

[FilmGuy213j]

[FREDDIEMERCURYHOT79]

The most beautiful song from 1987! :)

[BTown1979]

[tcbmig]

[MrTangoer]

Im so fuckin sad

[85Funkadelic]

Good song for a good cry :'( I think most people can relate.

[okgojay]

@85Funkadelic don't be such a pussy

[MyQuesnel]

@85Funkadelic

I can relate......I listened to this song many a time when a good friend of mine died.

[Latoya47]

@85Funkadelic yes i can relate!

[incdogrobber]

@85Funkadelic I did cry the second time I heard it in college @ 4:31... when one of the nicest girls I thought I'd ever met mentioned her boyfriend.

[jasgoerndt]

Classic performance!

Im going to see Bruce in two hours in Cleveland....good times.

[tcbmig]

love this so much played this all night one time cried my eyes out.

[lightlyone]

the master of the southern ringing piano... and soooo soulful... can almost smell the magnolia. 

[wygakyl]

"You don't know what you got, till you lose it all again"

And the bridge, "runnin' down to the lake shore....etc..."

one of the most beautiful set of words and chords of

any breaks....like the one that sets Hornsby off into a improv solo burst.

[ralphy73]

One of my fav albums of all time, beautiful...............and the piano shred is sick! ;)

[82coondog]

THIS SONG BRINGS ME BACK TO THE DAY; WAY BACK BEFORE THE WORLD WAS DUMPED INTO MY KNOW DILAPIDATED SOUL.

[bklueve0]

This is absolutely great music. I grew up with it, and will always love this stuff!!

[neepl8]

I'm so embarrassed. For years, I thought this song was "Traveling Man"

[81Support]

Good old times...full of memories

[TheNaekid]

See my channel for a piano tutorial for this song :)

[Mattvv1987]

this man did not get enough credit for his talent, to appreciate it, know he was at the concert in DC with the grateful dead as Jerry's main keyboardist and bob weir by his side. He deserves a lot of credit.

[migscay]

@Mattvv1987 such great talent!

[ashland1977]

This is such a beautiful song. Reminds me of summers in the late 1980s. Just a wonderful song.

[migscay]

@ashland1977 his piano playing reminds me of rain falling down...

[ashland1977]

@migscay I agree!

[dyad2r1]

@migscay

Yes it does!

[josephmarks1]

This is my favorite Bruce Hornsby song.

[rosieprospects]

@josephmarks1 me too just so beautiful angel music

[javajen19]

@josephmarks1 Mine too.

[scoot1105]

Beautiful heartfelt ballad! I didn't know the was that old(25 years)!!

[jaden123r]

Love the song! Can anyone post Crown Of Jewels? My FAVORITE!!!!

[DivaTCD]

This is definitely one of my favorites. I call all of his music "feel good music." I'm calm and I always have my center when I listen to his music, especially this one and "Every Little Kiss." Heard him in concert at the Jazz Festival in 1987. To this day, his music never tires.

[AZtwoNE]

What tasteless CUNTS thumbs'd this down?

[baruh443]

@AZtwoNE

goddam i fuking hate people who dont love a song and then respond to it... wtf you doing here if u dont like it uhh?! you fuking shit fuck, this is REAL music not like most of todays music

[Dannycoolbreeze]

I find this song so soothing to me , when it plays I stop doing what I'm doing just to listen to it !!! Great song one of my favorites

[ritchie9917]

I just felt great when I first listened to that song. It felt like that I had been to another dimension in a past life or something.

Thank you for such feeling!!!

Ricardo - Sao Paulo - Brazil

[MrDoomsday1]

This song always reminds me of my first girlfriend. Whereever you are Jennifer I still wish you the best.

[TaperTomStrizak1959]

Love this guy! Always loved hearing Bruce play with the Grateful Dead. Working as a stagehand, I had the pleasure of seeing him at a private executive party for BMG Records at the Improve in Tempe, AZ late 90's. Real intimate venue,me at center balcony in a tiedyed t-shirt rockin out, surrounded by all these uptight fancy dressed up folks mingling about. Having played many shows with the Dead, he really seemed to appreciate this Deadheads energy. One of the best gigs I ever did.

[MsMandilyn]

Haha, mah name is Mandilyn, spelled different, pronounced the same<3

[drewkelehan]

it seems like he's concentrating really hard on the solo to make it more technical. when you see him play today he really concentrates more on directing the band. both amazing.

[Wendifer69]

The way he plays, its so beautiful. I'm mesmerized....every time

[superbattleships]

this song would be way better without guitar or at least accoustic

[joerider777]

@superbattleships --- yeah, right, go write, produce and record your own music and then get back to me how that worked for you.

[superbattleships]

@joerider777 dude Im just saying my oppinion damn wtf

[mindbodylightsound10]

i don't listen to this song on a regular basis but whenever i hear it i've got listen to it 3 or 4 times.

[Troeus]

I got back in to Phx after a friends wedding in Toronto and really didin't want my weekend to end. I saw Bruce was in town palying at the Mesa Amphitheatre. It was sold out but I really wanted to see him so I stood out in front begging for a scalped ticket. I got in and made me way to the front and what an incredible evening. He played everything on his 2 albums and for encores did Leon Russell tunes. Bruce is one of a kind.

[Stinger737]

the best,, stilll the best

[singlechuck]

My Fave song Ever. So true so real. Bruce's songwritining is pure magic. We need more of it in these Taylor Shift days.

[5900James]

one of my favorites, still sounds great

[7nordic]

Bruce Hornsby so equlently captures the American spirit..

[mrpolaroid123]

Better looking of course

[DJClem2]

That's a mandola! Come on, Bruce!

[gumdokim]

I dont knw why, but Bruce Hornsby looks a lot like John Lithgow.

[airdriver]

This was back when Bruce was good.

[MrFerdell]

You can feel his roots in this song, no doubt a Virginia boy!
