  • this is song is heartbreakingly beatiful if you read the lyrics and you know the story behind it...

  • On In The Studio for the making of The Smoker You Drink and But Seriously Folks, Joe said he tried to kill himself for 18 months after his daughter Emma died. He joined The Eagles to get his mind off of his daughter's passing. He wasn't strong enough spiritually, physically and mentally to continue making solo records which he wouldn't until 1978's But Seriously Folks.

  • my friend emma was killed over the summer at age 16 in a car accident...this song makes me cry every time.

    i love you emma <3

  • wow , ii new part of the story behind the song,(and i've heard this song lots of times ) but just heard the birds singing at the end of this - wow, great touch Joe -

  • There's a feeling I get when I look to the sky As if someone is watching, Someone hears every word. We are filled with regret, it was such a short time, But we told him we loved you, hoping somehow he heard. We hoped he heard... You were with us for a while then he took you, and it made your mama cry. I can see it in her eyes, there's a question as to why. And after all this time, still I find that I'm without an answer. Good Bye. Bye love.
  • Emma Kristen Walsh was killed by a drunk driver at age 3... never forget that when you get behind the wheel. Others lives are in your hands.

  • @bamafannnc Well done fellow brother. May I be caught up with you in Heaven when I physically die.

    (In other words: You shown that weirdo what needed to be shoved in his face of devilish means)

  • I like joe walsh solo and with the james gang better than his work with the eagles. to me the eagles are his side project.
