Don Henley - A Month of Sundays (Live at Farm Aid 1985)

[Oldschool7166]

Might be the best song he's written. One of my all time favorites

In view of what's coming, this turned out to be a prediction.

This is my favourite Henley song. I understand the "Farm Aid" connection, but this is a profound spiritual track not one about politics. The idea of just "sitting", being and knowing... watching the rest of the world running around with screwed-up values and contemplating his end in eternity, so that he can be with his "partner" again... I know that porch well, I've seen those sunsets and I listen and weep in gratitude for that day...

[kiwithe3]

@Adipsia1 I think it could be on both politics and spiritual, though I prefer the latter.. and, even though I think that everybody's version of that porch is personal.. I think I know 'that' porch very well.. :)

[Adipsia1]

@kiwithe3 Thanks for your comment... I love the idea of sitting down on a front-porch somewhere and reflecting and bouncing things like this around. Above anything else I sense that we're more "human" than otherwise. I'll let you choose where you would like to sit on the "porch" and quite happily serve you drinks and cake whilst you reminisce !

@Adipsia1 The first-person narrative of the song is particularly touching and very real, especially explaining the state of society at that time. You can play this song today and it parallels the world we live in. Can't imagine what he would think of the state of the world in 2011.

@newwavepop it is on a

Henley's solo album called Building the Perfect Beast, never seen this before brilliant! Love him to bits.

[newwavepop]

i remember having the cassette and this was on it and i was suprised to find out it wasnt on the LP, nor is it on the best of albums ive seen. i still think this is easilly one of his top 3 songs.

[screwyootube1]

This song always gives me shivers! Not too many people do that to me, but Henley can do that at the drop of a hat. Brilliant singer/songwriter!

[0131starlite]

My favorite Henley song!!

[boondocksaints91]

"That little punk- he never had to serve"

[RicIsGod]

tremendous tune

[markbrow]

The only time he performed this song live. Great song, great performance.

Always one to words together in the meaningful way.

I can not believe this has only been viewed 932 times, does anyone out there care.

[TheTractorguy140]

[Thefonducethrive]

Possibly the most beautiful song ever wrote

[JimHadar1]

This song always reminds me of my grandpa, who worked our family farm and livestock operation literally til the morning he dropped dead of a coronary at breakfast. Our farm has been in the family for over 150 years, but this generation may be the last.

@JimHadar1 All the best Jim, thanks for sharing.
