This song helped me through and extremely painful divorce about 7 years ago... I thought I was gonna die cause I loved her so much. Thank God she never came back... I'm Alive.
finding this music is the best part of youtube for me. some people breeze through life blissfully unaware of the chaos they leave in thier wake. yet, somehow we still wake up the next morning. and manage to put one foot in front of the other...
But I was dreaming of you With my heart in your hands And I was following through With my beautiful plans.................... Hey look at the way I believed in you And loved you all these years Now you can fill a swimming pool with all my salty tears If you'd have told me what was in your heart Instead of all your lies I thought that it would kill me But I'm alive
Singer Songwriter Jackson Browne his Tribute to his first wife was actress/model Phyllis Major (1973–1976). The two began their relationship around 1971, Major and Browne married in late 1975. He was devastated when she committed suicide by consuming an overdose of sleeping pills just a few months later, in March 1976, at the age of 30 ~
Jackson Browne is a true suicide survivor! Love him
I love this song and it's a favorite of mine so I say perfect song. Laura bought this CD for me because she knew how much I loved Jackson Brown and this song, and what it stands for. I wish I were still alive.
this song got me down the road from seattle to orlando fl. but she tracked me down in vegas! just prolonged it for 2 more months i escaped. I'm alive!
the whole "I'm Alive" album, as it tells the story of his relationship with Darryl Hannah, as tumultuous and tortured as it was at times, really tells of his heartbreak and subsequent revelation that he had alot to live for, in spite of losing her. It also speaks to how much he learned about himself in the process of that breakup... the demons from his past, the anger with which they both lashed out at each other on numerous occasions. He's obviously a man of great passion, as was she. True art!
@mikeclaw This song has gotten me through 1 1/2 break-ups. Always hurry people along when they go to see him with me as he usually has no opening act and opens with this song- can't miss it!!
Enjoyed reading the comments fans wrote about this song. Thought I was the only one who loved this song. lol I agree that it was definitely underrated. Was obvious DH had broken his heart.
a wonderful song by a wonderful artist, still underrated, who obviously has experienced the down side of love/life,,the emotion of which helps to produce a song/albumn of this quality,,which brings us to to the question,,why does love have to be so sad?
oh have I been there.... thank you

"Good song from a good album about a relationship that almost ruined his career."
Jeez, he almost ruined Daryl's face with his fists! He is a woman beater.
Great guitar on this though.
