[RedondoAce]

apparently one person doesn't have ears.

[rubydawn1]

Tomcruiserfan it is nice to see that someone young is going to protect the work of this great artist so that it will be introducted to new generations like some great treasure.

[rubydawn1]

[rubydawn1]

Jackson Browne is like one of the great artist of the world he will continue to be discovered His work allows us to have great pieces of work in our minds.I thank him.

[jeffers55]

Achingly beautiful....I just love this song. Was so fortunate to catch JB in concert twice last month in Ontario....his solo shows always blow me away....hope he visits the UK in the summer

[pvm1955]

One of his most poignant songs and one of my favorites, still. Thanks for posting this.

[foilfencer85]

This is one of my favorite songs of his. So beautiful. Jackson Browne was the first musician I saw in concert...think I was about 9 or 10 - so over 15 years ago. He signed a book of guitar music for me :-)

[davidsheehymusic9]

We saw Jackson in Phoenix on March 4, 2011 for the sixth time. Man, he sure touches the heart.

[OppPaul]

Another masterpiece!!!

[67isurs]

LOVE HIM ~~~~!

[ofironit]

beautiful , i love it!!

[alexalexdobre]

You find a part of this song in tv show Friends - It All Began (Pilot). I love it, and i love Friends tv show...

[RobertJohnM]

Well done.A few lyrics wrong and some spelling out but your love of Jackson is clear.

[glr0661]

@RobertJohnM Sorry about that.....didn't catch it before I published.

[inatizzy2]

@glr0661 I dint even notice.Great! Thank you!

".... But the moment has passed by me now

To have put away my pride

And just come through for you somehow ...."

[aryvec]

" ... You're the color of the sky Reflected in each store-front window pane You're the whispering and the sighing Of my tires in the rain You're the hidden cost and the thing that's lost In everything I do Yeah and I'll never stop looking for you In the sunlight and the shadows And the faces on the avenue That's the way love is ... Sky blue and black"

[Msdistarr]

I bet the first words he spoke when he was a baby were profound.  He has an amazing mind.

[emanuelle677]

WoW such a Beautiful song ! Love you JB !

[elphoenix23]

this album in 93 helped pull me through my first REAL heartbreak...it helped my let go of Terra....

[johnbonetti1]

I can't think of another artist that has touched me the way he has

[agussart]

Thanks for posting Jackson's thoughts about this most lovely and poignant song.

[jeanhealy]

love this song, and love you jackson. keep going.

[RJiminez51]

a true lyrical genuis

[manhattenhero]

I searched so long for this intro speech! its soo deep! I love this song sooo Much!

he is one of my influences for my songs!

[sweetestxsin942]

tomcrusiefan73, i COMPLETELY agree with you. Im 16 as well, and Jackson Browne is incredible. People always make fun of me for listening to  "old" music as well.Music today should not be considered music. This, is music.SUCH a beautiful song that touches my heart each and every time I listen to it.

[MrBillbroonzy]

J.

Found it.

[onelasssttime]

Super.. and A+

[1992guitars]

I'll always remember the first time I heard this.  I celebrate the man's entire catalog (literally), but he never did better than Sky Blue and Black.

[chaji18]

Wow, that's powerful. Thank you.

"..the whispering and the sighing of my tires in the rain.."

[ilovelovelovefred]

[chaji18]

RIP&love.

[manhattenhero]

hey can someone Typ the beginnen for me? I'm dutch, With the beginning I mean the words of jackson browne

Thankx!

[youngaikidoka]

oh god, how i can relate to the speech and the song, it's almost too painful. i love Jackson Browne, a genious.

[kristinapie]

this is quite a painful song, but very apt at a time like this. love past is to be looked at not with regret, but with tremendous freedom.

[JBsBgstFan]

This Still rawks!!!!!!!!

[WildMales]

His dialogue about the song is just as meaningful...such soul, such heart...truly an inspired artist...his words and music paint the stories of our lives...

[Faradayslaw]

What an incredible song writer. So much insight - so perceptive are the lyrics. This song brings tears to my eyes when I hear it.

[thejonhendricks]

kind of unfortunate for me, I found about this guy by the 1st chorus part "if you ever need holding.." on the Friends pilot from 94 and when I looked up the song the whole thing has this bouncy feeling but that chorus part sounds like it's from some other world I swear I think he copied it or stole it or someone else wrote it and he just threw the verses together after. I'd rather hear the 1st 2 lines of the 1st chorus looped.

[zQippox]

exactly the same here! now after have heard the whole song I'm actually really disappointed...

[blissang]

I'm pretty sure Jackson Browne has actually copied all of his songs from out of date sitcoms. And if you'd like that looped, I've got a 2-hour loop of "Thank you for bein' a friend" from the "Golden Girls". I could send you the mp3.

[thejonhendricks]

lol i love the golden girls!

[huggylove1]

thats exactly what i did!!!!!!!!!

[JBsBgstFan]

I can never hear this song too much and I always love to hear his thoughts. Thanks for this grl0661

[bruusie]

Beautiful, heart and soul

Thanks for sharing:-)))

[floflo34600]

thanks my sweet friend for sharing this very beautiful song!!!

thanks for posting grl0661!!!

greetings from France

[handibaby]

this soug could be recorded in the 40's or today, heartfelt lyrics and a unique and sensitive melody are two things that never die.

thanks Jackson, for all the great recipes of both.

[TMM909]

This is a beautiful song. I love this video where he explains how he felt in the beginning. I love to hear him talk anyway, he's got such a nice voice and he's so real.

[hasekdom]

This song is part best, part boring. Start and middle are perfect. Other this and thats are so-so. Jackson is number 1, but his best songs are from the seventies. Love the "I`m alive" album. It was a real treat the summer og 95 when I first bought and listened to it all the time. "Fountain of sorrow" is his best song.

"Late for the sky" his best album.

[WIGSCOTT]

I must agree "Late For The Sky" is Jackson's greatest album. Love the harmony work on it I believe it's Don Henly and Dan Fogelberg lending a hand. Hard for me to choose my favorite song but "Farther One" comes real close.

[veelighted7]

well, then I'll have to get this album. I don't have any JB albums, but I love Dan Fogelberg and do love JB on Youtube and the song, The Pretender is beautiful too.

thanks

Vee

[blissang]

"Farther On"--isn't that a perfect tale. Spot on--beautiful.

[myren22]

i was born in 90's but that was 1 of the only things i listen to

[myren22]

its 1 of the best songs in the world a true work of art LIVE ON JACKSON BROWNE

[perkmeister]

this is such a beautiful song

[veelighted7]

a very beautiful song indeed. I just discovered it..

wow!

Touches my heart

he is amazing

Vee

[stanny111]

lovely song :)

[nhlrangers13]

anybody who uses the word "noob" needs to be smashed across the face repeatedly with a piece of heavy mining equipment...

[myren22]

tell me about it

[godsknight14]

noob

[myren22]

i like to see u do better lol no wait i would give u $500 bucks if u did better but thats not going to happen is it

[toiletwasher]

(Probably) The best ballad ever written???

[corzandv]

correct.

[vintageheart1543]

Jackson and Dan Fogelberg both are amazing song writers and insightful thinkers--poets.

Beautiful lyrics. So right on

Vee

[tomcruisefan73]

im practically speechless...i have to say i did cry. This song is so beautiful, Jackson is so beautiful, he truly is just amazing.I love his words about the song...absolutely astonishing!!!! Jackson will forever make a lasting impression on the world.

note to Jackson Browne: You have made me think of life in such a different way, I will always love you.

[masonhustler07]

he should make a lasting impression, but i doubt he will, because of the way people are, theres very few people like us that realize or appreciate how great of a songwriter he is.

[tomcruisefan73]

thats completely true. You know whats funny...im only 16 years old and i am fortunate enough to appreciate great songwriters. You dont know how much crap i get from people because i enjoy "old music". I absolutely hate all the music that kids my age listen to. Im soo excited because im going to his concert on Sunday...my first jackson browne concert...i know it will be amazing!!!

[IamALOTlikeyouwere]

way to go, man.

[BrentReyno]

@tomcruisefan73

And 2 years later is this still your favorite song? :)

[tomcruisefan73]

@BrentReyno YES. this song and artist are one of a kind. 40 years from now it will still be my favorite song.

[FOAMER103061]

@tomcruisefan73 how was the concert????

[inatizzy2]

@tomcruisefan73 I got to see him this time last year and was MY first! And Im old! LOL Was fantastic! Hope hes coming again,I will go.

[TheElMendigo]

@tomcruisefan73 it's good that you appreciate it, but age ain't nothing but a number.

[inatizzy2]

@tomcruisefan73 Thats just toooo kewl young man. I think U will be pleased with his concert. I Saw him last year, AUG 29th.. Just PERFECT! My FAV of all time! ENJOY!!!

[ashweck]

He's already made a lasting impression. Just because our generation doesn't exactly notice it right away doesn't mean it's not there. People who like music know Jackson. Anyone who knows music knows Jackson. He's not Dylan but he's also not Britney or Madonna. (She'll fade, trust me.)

[talkrite]

need tissues for this beautiful song...thanks for posting...one of his best and rarely heard.

[hoodydoody7]

this song is for you Tracy Moon......I miss us.... TT

[birdsofstmarks]

Its for my hubby who is recouping from surgery, this is rough...I love you Baby...and know you are going to be much bertter soon, Sorry I cry whenbI see the pain...it kills me to see you hurting,,,love birdsof you are so important to our family get well soon.

[birdsofstmarks]

An artist that will always be loved by all of us, a loving heart is a great heart, this guy has that! the pictures are so expressive and beautiful and so much sho his love of music...

[meckuw1]

Enough said. just listen to the music.

[buckleybrendan1]

nice song

[sherchik89]

Sitting here on a cold, snowy winter day, bored, & find this beautiful video & JB song. OMG, truly touching, I'll be looking & listening to JB more!! Thanks.

[birdsofstmarks]

Yes amandalee, we all have the right to enjoy and treasure the artists we do, with out the disrespect of others who are not intrspective and caring enough to realize that this man has sung and written since the 60's songs for himself to sing songs for others, grow up respect the others on utube and if you don't especailly like to listen to a person..please don't disrespect an artist who among countless people, is highly loved and respected among many artists, fans and so many people.

[amandalee7747]

Sorry, I just get angry at ignorant pple, and have a mouth - It's the NY in me. ;(

[amandalee7747]

Or did you mean ME? :O, I see those other comments are gone, I think?

[aholdout2]

Evidentally, someone is getting a lot of pleasure from posting here...so all JB fans please don't waste your time commenting. We all know why we love and admire Jackson. If you ignore it, it will go away.

[aholdout2]

I use this site to listen to music I enjoy and artists I appreciate for their talents. Maybe you should do the same. Wonderful Jackson!!

[mudbone65]

Simply: THE most amazing song: NO better lyrics, that I have ever heard. Period.

[slidingfiddle]

tabloid said that, no reports, no police said that. Only JB and DH know the truth. Sure not me, sure not you

[RedMoore129]

Excume me Slidingfi, I think you're speaking about Jackson Browne and Daryl Hannah, but why? When they were together I read He beated her, are you speaking about It?

[iaminthburg]

That's the way love is....if you tried hard enough and loved strongly enough and gave it your very best shot. And if you're able to express it all the way that JB does.

[corzandv]

jackson browne is incredible. his music is incredible. the meanings are incredible. the storys are incredible.

[mag666gam]

I first heard a clip of this song on the first ever episodde of freinds and it came into my head today and i just had to find it, beautifull

[takenback77]

Thats the way love is

Thats the way love is

Thats the way love is

[cheriberrycheri]

I love this clip of Jackson's description of this song. I saved it on an old compter. It's like his description could be another song! Part 2 lol He is amazing.

[12stringbabe]

This song is a masterpiece.

[blondage2]

I'm going through a very painful breakup and the first time I heard this song it brought out emotions in me that I was not able to express myself. It touched my soul so deeply that it has become part of my grief and healing. Maybe one day I will be able to forgive. Thank You Jackson for helping me through this difficult time.

Thanks glr0661 for posting this.

Much love to both.

[raedsan]

this song has lived actively in my heart for years now. It was a joy to hear his take on his own song

[birdsofstmarks]

It is absolutely fantastic to hear him describe how he wrote this song, I have listened to it for over 15 years and never heard his take on his feelings when he wrote it...He has such articulate expression of feeling thoughts...its incredible

[1952ARONIA]

Very beautiful song, very tenderly sung.

[stanny111]

wow.. .Thats beautiful.

[anrorna]

my favorite song.best song ever written.great words great singer..

[JustPlainDB]

A return to confessional song writing which puts JB in a small circle of artists who put their heart on their sleeve and touch the inner dimensions of everyone who ever experienced a similar situation... from the cloudy inability to express oneself, into the clear brilliance of the words and music that he blesses us with.

[nannerbj]

I think this is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard Jackson Browne sing. Jackson this is one the most important songs of your career

[nannerbj]

The secound he plays the first notes on the piano my

hair stands on end. This is one of Jacksons finest songs. Play this for your friends who dont know his stuff, they will be hooked. I tried it !!!!!

[alrightnowbaby]

Very Nice!, Thanks!

[dixlynn57]

very nicely done.. thank you

[PinkFloydJackson]

(crying hystericaly)

[FOAMER103061]

THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!

[MarieCheras]

Just beautiful - I've been a long time Jackson fan and this is one of my absolute favourites.  Classic and hauntingly beautiful.
