i remember my dad playing this when my brother and me (twins) were like six before we would go to sleep. it's good to have a deadhead for a dad because you were introduced to good music at a young age. ahh the memories.
I agree with what your saying, the only reason I "disagree" is because I knew that song at such a young age,it reminds me of my child hood. So happy. I know what you're saying though
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
what did the hippie say when the LSD wore off ?...this music sucks. and dont get mad because i was that hippie. shrooms are much better for this song.
@keelay9003 really because with how many hateful comments you put on other vidoes i'd say your nothing more then a immature brat that likes to spread hate
Your totally right about that, first time i heard the dead on lsd, i went crazy, and never stopped listening to the dead ever since. Greatest band that existed ever, from my point of veiw.
everytime i listen to this song..........(tears come by).i think about my wife.........rosemary.........may godbless her, and be with her in the glory and heaven!!! (miss you!!!(
man, what have I been missing out on? When I got into bands like Zeppelin and Sabbath a few years back my friends all told me that The Grateful Dead weren't even worth listening to. Now im sorry I didn't listen to them sooner.
@BURNOUTRS wait I mean didn't not listen to them? oh wow it sounds weird either way but I love The Grateful Dead and that's the message you should take away from my comment
Times have changed so much, most teens my age will never understand or come close to knowing what "good" music is. Lil wayne, Justin Bieber etc.. these people for example have zero talent.. most of it is all composed on the computer anyways to make themselves sound good enough, which will never work in my ears lol. The Dead is an amazing band, and will live on forever. Listened by the small amount of people in this world who still have good taste in music. Much Love<3
i don;t know man must have been high....felt like i see something moving on the skull....and the girl is just like....all i know i didn;t want to leave her there......
This is poetry of the highest order. It's one of the most beautiful set of verses I've ever heard or read. Like an impressionist painting. And the melody and music are gorgeous. Wow.
like jerry check out his man of constance sorrow from grateful dawg think it's his last work with grisman awsome americana tunes the album called -not just for kids
The album cover reminds me of high school. This was my first GD album and it changed my taste in music forever. I don't know if people fully appreciate the work of the Grateful Dead; whether they enjoy it or not.
The lyrics to this song refer to an old celtic folk legend. There's a book I think which had been put into print again entitled "Fairies" which mentions it.
are you serious? i have to listen to this whole stupid fucking ad?

Maybe.
2020wonderbred 9 months ago
@2020wonderbred you are right, but w/o the "her." the first line of the song is "boots were of leather, a breath of cologne..."
and the first line in the second verse is: " She came dead and she went, and at last went away" which is only a minor mistake, probably a typo.
