BV Box of Rain

[glenplumlee]

I sang this to my wife at our wedding reception. We both know it's a song about death but we still love it.

[ZosoNC69]

@froznic Its about a man talking to his dying father.

Thanks so much for posting!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jenzeppelin]

This is the greatest song of all time, in my opinion. The absolute cream of the crop, #1.

[chordize]

i love playing this song

[froznic]

I feel like I have to be stoned to understand this song... What is it about exactly, if someone could help me out.. A box of rain o.O? This is the first song I've ever listened to by these guys so I'm trying to get it.. Maybe I'm just not in touch with my inner apple tree or something like that...

@froznic listen to ATTICS OF MY LIFE ....OR Doin that Rag ...but a box of rain is something you find on the road of life my friend.....can't beg borrow or steal it. PEACE MY HEADS!

goood find, thanks.

This is my favorite Dead song .. and I think generally much better in its studio version. Probably because the vocals are so important and rather tricky to perform.

[nivek765]

This song is a work of art. None of the live versions do it justice,as yamofwill

alluded to. THANK YOU !!!

[chucktriplett]

My fav Dead song. Thanks so much. I saw an interview with Phil who said he wrote this when he was visiting his dying father.

[jcmcrae]

This song is so beautiful, but when I try to spread it around, my generation rejects its beauty....

[TheZiggytoondust]

beautiful song!! RIP Jerry

[Shroomeryslearyfan]

[dakotafarmboy90]

[TheFrozenLads]

either the balance on my speakers is screwed up, or this is not the studio version

[Undeployedparachute]

This is the studio version

[ThatkidMagick]

THANKS FOR PUTTING THIS SONG UP! <3

[existmental]

This song is very special to me. I had it played at my dads funeral and I've cried everytime time I've heard it since then. Thank you for the beautiful imagery to this beautiful song from a band that has been an important part of my life and way of thinking. Blessings!

[thespeez]

As I understand, Phil Lesh dedicated this song to his father who was dying at the time from cancer.

[existmental]

Yes, that's why it was written.  That's also why it was fitting for my situation.

[thespeez]

Understood.

[cudaj2]

@existmental I know what you mean, I too lost my dad so I know what you mean.

[chronicebonics]

I still don't understand the video, thanks for posting though! I play this when I get home from work and it makes me feel a little better.
