Sounds trite perhaps...but my heart aches for the early 70's and music like this. I feel we have lost something precious in our culture since then. "Show me your heart" has become "show me your money". That is an overstatement perhaps...but something is missing in our way of life "these days"
Jackson's first five albums up to and including Running on Empty were masterpieces - the soundtrack of many of our lives. Beyond that time period, he has put together collectively perhaps another dozen stunning songs from various albums. The great song traveller with incredible insights so beautifully articulated.
I agree with the first five album comment. Those were the soul of my life in late high school and college. But, I would also include I'm Alive and Looking East in the masterpieces (maybe not so much Looking East but definitely I'm Alive).
For Everyman hangs together as an album, better than any I can think of. Listen to it straight through, and you come out the other end in a different world.
Been listening to JB since 1970. There should never be an argument about who the best songwriter of this generation is. It is simple. Your listening to HIM.
Maybe im crazy, but I feel that in the direction music is headed, music like this will never be written again. I consider myself lucky to listening to it.
These days I realize just how much influential power tunes such as this had on my adolescent mind and soul...guiding me through life to this day like a second set of parents...Thank you Jackson,John,Joni,Jimi,Janis,James,Jerry (and that's just the J's).
What a beautifully stated comment. My youth through this day has always been filled with music. It does become a part of who you are and it holds memories and emotions better than a photo album. I hear a few notes of a song and I'm 15 again, playing Frisbee on the beach with my best friend on a beautiful sunny day. Golden brown bodies surfing, little kids building sand castles and I don't have a care in the world at that moment in time. Life perceived through the eyes of a girl who still looked at the world as a wonderland. A place where no harm could ever come to me or those I loved. The best view of the world we will ever have is during our youth. And the gift of music allows us to go back to that time. It's a great place to be, if only for a few moments.
I agree, Louis. Our teachers always remain our teachers. So grateful for them...and the rest of the alphabet, too. JB is probably the most influential in my life, thanks to my parents raising me on his music and teaching me to play it.
The song is a perfect meditation on the human condition and the flawed, mysterious and amazing thing called living. Perfectly executed by this tremendously gifted singer songwriter.
He gives himself in his songs. He is not a performer in my mind, he is a giver of his music...That's not to say I don't love performers- he is great on stage- but it is something more powerful, more giving. Thanks JB- I absolutely adore you and always have.
I'm in college, and although i'm not old enough to truly appreciate this whole album, Jackson has gotten me through school; the good times and the bad. God Bless JB and David Lindley....Two of the most Talented musicians I have ever listened to.
I cry every time I here this song.............so many years even later. What the hell happened to Jackson? So much crap afterwards...........Tap back into this Jackson, please!
Hello 👋 MaryAnn How're you doing, it's been a long journey, and I'm nothing without amazing fans like you who appreciate my musical craftiness, All love to you and yours ❤️
I have always loved Jackson and always will until i am no longer here. He was in it for the long haul and is still doing it. He said in song he would be around until the walls and towers are crumbling, he kept that promise.
GREAT SONG. Fits with what is happening these days...am a baby boomer also. We need to turn back to our CREATOR who sent HIS Beloved Son to pay for our sinfulness and regain access to our Father in Heaven/Eternity. That is the answer. We sang "Love is Coming" But we missed the boat. That love came already and it is in JESUS.
Too bad you missed the meaning of this song. Jackson wrote it in response to David Crosby's song Wooden Ships (on CSN&Y Deja Vu). In an interview he said he just could not agree with the concept of just sailing away during or after a conflict. So, voila!! Here is the response.
Ozzie Balan you are right Ozzie,his songs just seem to fit my life growing up near Pensacola, Fla. The songs w ere written and recorded in California but they seem to fit anyone and their life in any town I guess that is why he is everyman.
Hello 👋 cheryl How're you doing, it's been a long journey, and I'm nothing without amazing fans like you who appreciate my musical craftiness, All love to you and yours ❤️
I saw Jackson do a solo acoustic show in 2002. I was so impressed with his acoustic sound, I got home that night and bought a vintage Gibson J45 on eBay, After 6 months of NOT sounding like him, I sold the guitar. I met Jackson 2 years later at a private event and he told me about his Roy Smeck Gibson which he is playing in this and many other videos. He said this guitar, combined with custom pickup + double drop D tuning gave him this great sound. Thanks for sharing JB. :-)
JB's direct answer to David Crosby, Stephen Stills and Paul Katner's, "Wooden Ships". Hanging out with them, he loved their song, but thought there was something wrong with just leaving. Someone needs to stay behind, for everyone else. Someone needs to be here to wait for everyman!! Cheers\=/\=/
We left "in the light of the morning" in the early 70's, still here, thank you. We got the place, this music was our road map to get here. Loved his music, still do, still here after all these decades. We made it on our own.
This song and album got me through a very tough part of my life. Literally listened to this album and "Heroes are hard to find" by Fleetwood Mac every day to get me through.

Listened to this @16 much the same as I do today, 40 years later in awe and wonder, a slight tear in my eye, now it's my hand reaching out.. love you jb
Even today this man looks fantastic !! Y'all must remember...Jackson is sixty-six. and anyway, who cares about looks? It's about the MUSIC ! He's amazing in my opinion. His lyrics are riveting. they stand the test of time, not to mention what he's done for other musicians. Just listen to "Sky blue and black" Wonderful ! Way to go Jackson.
JB has given the core of his soul to try to bring light into this dark world. The bells will toll as he passes and the World stands still to recognize a single human soul that refused to Pretend that the lives of most people are doing alright. Jackson's awareness of the unnecessary suffering of living beings would crush most of the rest of us. He does not hide from this awareness. He counters with Joyful Noise.
For Everyman the common Man! I couldn't have said it any better after years in the music industry living and loving Jackson's unselfish humble soul trying to change the planet! And stop the information wars!
Hello 👋 carolyn How're you doing, it's been a long journey, and I'm nothing without amazing fans like you who appreciate my musical craftiness, All love to you and yours ❤️
Jackson's music doen't grow old, fade or become out of fashion. It is timeless brilliance is as relevant and musical to a new generation who hopefully will discover it. He will still be heard a hundred years from now, unlike so many others.
I was listening to this song and contemplating it's meaning today just like so many times before when I realized I was sitting in my car at the exact same traffic light that I was sitting at 40 years ago contemplating the Pretender and imagining that I was the Pretender. I love you JB
Beautiful , pure and perfect..goes beyond "art" I think. I think its the effort of the "spirit" to communicate spiritual truths.But thats just me...Makes Guys like Jackson Browne more like prophets..If you believe in such things.
Hello 👋 kathy How're you doing, it's been a long journey, and I'm nothing without amazing fans like you who appreciate my musical craftiness, All love to you and yours ❤️
To see Jackson in an intimate setting such as this. Am grateful that his music has been part of my life and always will be. Love how his hair falls lazily over one eye 💗
word has it that he wrote this one in response to David Crosby's "Wooden Ships" - so you guys are alright sailing off in your wooden ships, but what about everybody else? I love them both.
.Sig.. Browne è. un musicista più incredibile....ma il suo regalo di mettere parole a musica veramente è ed incredibilmente un vero lavoro di arte...Non abbia questo regalo....ed i miei orecchi sono onorati col sentendolo.....Grande poeta...MITICOOOOOO

3 years late, but just wanted to say I know exactly what you mean by your comment here.
I get it. But it’s only trite by today’s standards.
A generational talent for certain but never underestimate what comes next and avail yourself always to life’s surprise.
Absolute truth
My heart aches also. I totally understand what you're saying. 😢
Just the absolute best American songwriter- period.
Jackson's first five albums up to and including Running on Empty were masterpieces - the soundtrack of many of our lives. Beyond that time period, he has put together collectively perhaps another dozen stunning songs from various albums. The great song traveller with incredible insights so beautifully articulated.
Agree. But who did he mean by "the Great Song Traveller”? Bob Dylan? Jesus Christ?
I agree with the first five album comment. Those were the soul of my life in late high school and college. But, I would also include I'm Alive and Looking East in the masterpieces (maybe not so much Looking East but definitely I'm Alive).
Such a poet, there aren't enough words for this man's beautiful soul.
such a beautiful thing to say 😍... I bet it made his day ❤... let's do it again... don't pretend... Yay J Browne... Bravo 👏
And there never will be again...
Seriously! 🙂
For Everyman hangs together as an album, better than any I can think of. Listen to it straight through, and you come out the other end in a different world.
... and then there's Red Necked Friend.
One of the greatest albums of all time. I had the vinyl, and the 8 track, then the cassette, wore out all of them.
Yep
Been listening to JB since 1970. There should never be an argument about who the best songwriter of this generation is. It is simple. Your listening to HIM.
Yes. I just read somewhere that Elton John listen to ALL Jackson songs..same with Gregg allman, he loves jackson
Maybe im crazy, but I feel that in the direction music is headed, music like this will never be written again. I consider myself lucky to listening to it.
Beautiful Lips, eyes, and jaw line.....and so much talent!!!
These days I realize just how much influential power tunes such as this had on my adolescent mind and soul...guiding me through life to this day like a second set of parents...Thank you Jackson,John,Joni,Jimi,Janis,James,Jerry (and that's just the J's).

Simply a poet
Hello 👋 MaryAnn

To me this song, says get out there, give life ago, you may fail but you have tried, you are flawed you are a man. It was my travelling anthem.
I have always loved Jackson and always will until i am no longer here. He was in it for the long haul and is still doing it. He said in song he would be around until the walls and towers are crumbling, he kept that promise.
I love Jackson his music 🎶. When he comes to California I’m there 🎶
GREAT SONG. Fits with what is happening these days...am a baby boomer also.

Talented artist, musician and poet - thank you Jackson Browne for so many wonderful, touching songs!
His music was everything.
Simple to the point one of the greatest songwriters ever!!! No one like him!!!!
Ozzie Balan you are right Ozzie,his songs just seem to fit my life growing up near Pensacola, Fla. The songs w ere written and recorded in California but they seem to fit anyone and their life in any town I guess that is why he is everyman.
This song just gets me, even in acoustic. So beautiful and touching.

I love everything about Jackson, his music, his talent and the way that he thinks. He's my idol
Melody ...he speaks for me when I get happy,sad, and unable to find the right words...he is my spokesperson...long live his music...
@@jimasher YES, so very well said.. he speaks my soul, I always say..
My favourite musican too. Saw him I'm Melbourne in 1986, I was the only one in s railway uniform as I had finished work.

Thanks Larry, and i still love this album after all these years.
Lovely song with philosophical and emotional lyrics. And he is playing both guitar and bass parts on his guitar!

Just Brilliant
For Everyman
Jackson Browne
Everybody I talk to is ready to leave
With the light of the morning
They've seen the end coming down
Long enough to believe
That they've heard their last warning
Standing alone
Each has his own ticket in his hand
And as the evening descends
I sit thinking 'bout Everyman
Seems like I've always been
Looking for some other place
To get it together
Where with a few of my friends
I could give up the race
And maybe find something better
But all my fine dreams
Well though out schemes
To gain the motherland
Have all eventually come down
To waiting for Everyman
Waiting here for Everyman
Make it on your own if you think you can
If you see somewhere to go I understand
Waiting here for Everyman
Don't ask me if he'll show, baby I don't know
Make it on your own if you think you can
Somewhere later on you'll have to take a stand
Then you're going to need a hand
Everybody's just waiting to hear from the one
Who can give them the answers
And lead them back to that place
In the warmth of the sun
Where sweet childhood still dances
Who'll come along
And hold out that strong
That gentle father's hand
Long ago I heard someone say
Something 'bout Everyman
Waiting here for Everyman
Make it on your own
Make it if you think you can
If you see somewhere to go I understand
I'm not trying to tell you
That I've seen the plan
Turn and walk away if you think I am
But don't think too badly
Of one who's left holding sand
He's just another dreamer
Dreaming 'bout Everyman

Man I love this song.
Wonderful. I love clean non-autotuned vocals
joevancouver1 Kim Carnes Kenny Rodgers
I’m so old I remember when everyone did that. Frampton may have been one of the few exceptions.
one of his best....but there are so many....
bc True Statement
Jackson u are the best!!!!
So love this
Beauty and truth JB a gem
great songwriter, activist & so real........ I always like Jackson acoustically.
Another great story teller-Harry Chapin
..Where with a few of my friends,..I could give up the race..maybe find something better......One of JBs best little nuggets
Then come along and hold out that strong but gentle Father's hand.
What a great song. You think the producers could wait till the end before rolling the credits??
I adore this song too.
Jackson Browne, an artist/musician who sings and writes such beautiful songs with a pure heart.
lve grown to love this song the more I hear it! The lyrics are wonderful!
To see Jackson in an intimate setting such as this. Am grateful that his music has been part of my life and always will be. Love how his hair falls lazily over one eye 💗
Just passing by but had 2 hear one of his top ten!!G-d bless Everyman...in life chack69
We are all waiting for everyman. Any day now...
A true evergreen (the song and its composer)...
Way to go Jackson!
No we need each other. When you understand how we align to the universe it is truly remarkable.
Il❤ this music...my favorite🎧🎶🖤
Great
Beautiful. There are some hard times coming.
word has it that he wrote this one in response to David Crosby's "Wooden Ships" - so you guys are alright sailing off in your wooden ships, but what about everybody else? I love them both.
I could watch this daily, it's that good

Music for the heart.
Perfection.
So true..
A shame about those credits running at the end.....but still a precious gem of video. I found myself spontaneously doing David Crosby's harmony (or at least trying to). You're so missed DC
A thumbs down says a lot about the person giving it and nothing about the Artist receiving it.
That voice! Love it so much.
4.34...... No words
Such a classic. Thanks, Jackson!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@MiSargent8 Good stuff... truly powerful music with a deep lyrical message can get people through just about anything.
