I absolutely love this song!!!! I have looked for this before hoping to see a video of their performance but the scenery will do. Kenny never sings this in concert that I know of. That is too bad as it is such a beautiful song and brings me back to another time. Thank you for posting this.
As a child, my mother always made sure we went up to the mountains in Colorado, where I grew up, to witness the aspen turning, and walk in the autumn air. She's been gone so long now, but whenever I see leaves changing I always think of her. Those memories are golden.
What a beautiful song this is. So achingly sad. I remember the first time I heard it when I got the album back in 74, I just wept. Kenny's vocals, as always when it came to love songs - were gorgeous. Thanks for sharing this.
"Brighter Days" written by Kenny Loggins and Dona Lyn George I've seen brighter.... I've known brighter days lying alone in the shade of a manzanita; it's been sweeter, bitter sweeter days. I know it's not for always, but all I can say is I've known better days. Is summer gone? Has it been that long? I guess that's what seasons will bring. I'm caught again in the autumn wind, but I remember spring. For I've seen brighter days, seen lighter places to stay along my way.
Oh, I've seen brighter days I've seen warmer, soft and warmer nights lying with love by my side in the sycamores, there've been finer, I've seen mighty finer nights Knowing what's wrong or what's right just don't matter when you're in warmer nights. But here I am like a sea blown wind under my thunder and rain I'll ride the waves till a sunny day comes to me again for I've seen brighter days, seen lighter places to stay ..along my way. Oh, I've seen brighter days.
I hit the Mother Lode on vinyl, 8Track, cassette, CD, and now on iTunes. It still sounds great after all these years. Brighter Days was my favorite and one I never heard played on the radio. I suppose it's just a hidden nugget of gold.
This is one of my favorites to play acoustically. I've played many Loggins songs. He was my inspiration to write better original music and learn to play my guitar and to sing with more control. You can hear what I do at wwwJohnKayecom
I'm caught again in the autumn wind, but I remember spring, such beautiful lyrics. I used to play this song over and over in my teenage years full of angst and unhappiness.
Ah. Waited all day to come back home and listen to this. What a gift dear poster. I thank you again and again. I've had a long,somewhat troubling day. Bless you.
Kenny and Jimmy have provided me with so many sweet melodies and music, for a very, very long time. They are timeless.

For some reason I feel melancholic right now, and I clicked the song at just the right time for what I was feeling inside...I love these moments.

@womanbread Oh! I forgot about the visuals you added to this - gorgeous, as well. Colorado? Upstate New York in the autumn? Absolutely beautiful.
