LYRICS:
In my early years i hid my tears
And passed my days alone
Adrift on an ocean of loneliness
My dreams like nets were thrown
To catch the love that I'd heard of
In books and films and songs
Now there's a world of illusion and fantasy
In the place where the real world belongs
Still i look for the beauty in songs
To fill my head and lead me on
Though my dreams have come up torn and empty
As many times as love has come and gone
To those gentle ones my memory runs
To the laughter we shared at the meals
I filled their kitchens and living rooms
With my schemes and my broken wheels
It was never clear how far or near
The gates to my citadel lay
They were cutting from stone some dreams of their own
But they listened to mine anyway
I'm not sure what i'm trying to say
It could be i've lost my way
Though i keep a watch over the distance
Heaven's no closer than it was yesterday
And the angels are older
They know not to wait up for the sun
They look over my shoulder
At the maps and the drawings of the journey I've begun
Now the distance leads me farther on
Though the reasons i once had are gone
I keep thinking I'll find what I'm looking for
In the sand beneath the dawn
But the angels are older
They can see that the sun's setting fast
They look over my shoulder
At the vision of paradise contained in the light of the past
And they lay down behind me
To sleep beside the road till the morning has come
Where they know they will find me
With my maps and my faith in the distance
Moving farther on

The genius of Jackson is that wrote a song at 25 that sounds more appropriate for him to singing when he’s in his 70’s. He’s now farther on. Just beautiful.
Amazing. Totally agree. The rasp in his voice, just perfect.
The emotion this song generates is staggering. One of the best ever. By anyone.
I agree so much with you. I listened to it today riding to do an errand and just started weeping ❤
Yeah i agree. For reasons unknown i cry
❤
I agree. Jackson never fails to captivate.
Totally agree! Brings me to tears
Now im 67....time trippin back to my high school years. Always a sad/happy person, well now Im sad most days, longing for a simpler time. Sobered up 30 years ago trying to save a marriage, realizing I was a terrible everything. Marriage gone, never remarried. Pining away in my little room I saw this video, and here is this old fart singing the songs of my soul. He was the most handsome young man back then. The most amazing bands around him. He has aged well and the voice of another time still rich and clear. Yes I cried listening, realizing I had also been a handsome young man that had to good fortune to be young during the greatest of musical times. Thanks for still singing the songs of my soul. Namaste Friend(s)
I understand........
This is one of those songs that you hear differently when you are older than when you are young- a lot of decades between from when I first heard it. It’s more meaningful if that could be possible! A masterpiece 🙌
Thanks for taking out time to comment, I can't return all the love...
Where are you from?
Most of his songs are the same way.
My Oh My How I have loved that song. It might be my favorite! It’s just beautiful! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
This one speaks to my heart the older I get. I’m moving farther on. Ahh so good
Thank you for remembering the great, immense, Al Schmitt.
In this song Jackson has captured the human experience- wrapped in hopes and dreams and disappointment and loneliness but clinging to the belief to never give up because the answer may be just around the corner. This is brilliance beyond words:)
When people in the world argue against the existence of God, here is the type of evidence that I point to, to show how mortality can only pierce the soul like this with His gifting help...
Who knows humans and their hearts better than their Maker?
I amazed that he could write such deep poetic music when he was still so young. It's mind boggling.
One can only write such inspired music by (knowingly or unknowingly) channeling spirit. All of the greatest musicians have always been ‘inspired’ JB even more closely connected. 🌹
@@CK-831 Amen!
More real evidence of ancient prophecy being fulfilled, i.e. “And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions." Joel 2: 28
Right on! My friend would say "well alright" I love him
Thank you Jackson for breathing life into this beautiful ode to life. Again, you floor me with the emotional touch. I saw you in Dallas, July 2023. Thank you, sir. It was a lovely night of you giving us a part of you. 💞👱♀️🎶
Since I was a kid I listened to Jackson Browne. His music has brought such joy to my life. I am forever thankful.
This song, with is angels, have been looking over my shoulder for the past 40 years. I Will always be grateful to you, Jackson
one of the best song ever, so sweet, so sad, with faithfull and hopes. A masterpiece
First listen. My phone prodding me to listen, as I have set it ! I like it !
Nice Jackson, Brown. 🎶
I agree! He and Dan Fogelberg are my original heroes, they move me to no end.
@@NorseHorse1 beautiful compliment, Folgerberg. Love him too!
❤❤ I agree!
The world's greatest singer/songwriter.
Totally agree. His use of lyrics is masterful and his older songs are so bittersweet and beautiful they have nowhere to go but straight to your heart. My friend once told me that I love JB’s music so much because I recognize a truth when I hear it, and I totally get that. (I sound like such a Valley girl, and that’s a truth, because I am!)
BTW Jackson if you actually read these comments, I’m going to offer my unsolicited opinion. I miss your trademark hairstyle. I have always loved it💖
I love his music dearly, but I’ll bet if you ask him he’ll say “Joni”
If James Taylor is the world's heart, Jackson Browne is its soul. What a gift, in this year (almost) after the deluge, to see them together, with the greatest living musicians on the planet. We are so lucky.
I totally agree even better than Dylan with the writing and his voice is maybe better now as in 1972 when I first saw him..18 times over the years!
@@garylochbaum5253 At the very least he didn’t feel the need to contort his voice to get people to notice , like Dylan did. There are plenty of examples that show that Dylan had a fine voice. Start with Johnny Cash’s TV show.
Jackson’s voice is just fine the it was and the way it is. No pretense or ostentation in his voice. Thank you Jackson. And by the way, on this point, has anyone tried to find out why at times Bruce Springsteen wanted to purposely sound like a country bumpkin , especially from New Jersey? I don’t get it and I don’t like it. This is apart from his songwriting. Just his singing abilities.
Greg Leisz. Right behind Jackson. Perfection. The elegant, indescribable beauty. Good Lord, the majesty of these two together is breathtaking.
Words cannot describe how magnificent this song is, touching my heart again, as it did 46 years ago. Thank you, Jackson & Greg. Greetings from Scotland.
Thanks for taking out time to comment, I can't return all the love that's been showed to me through these comments ,Thanks for viewing🌹🌹...
Where are you from dear?
Hoping Jackson comes to Scotland soon
Great Jackson Browne... Great artist...Great man.... Generous full of modesty
That album meant more to me than you will ever know……still brings a tear to my eye….and hope….moving farther on…
How lovely J.B."Farther On "💪looking for the beauty, a hope in the mist of uncertainty. 😇 😇😇😇😇😇🌅.... 🏇
“With my maps & faith in the distance...”. Beautifully said, fellow traveler.
It’s always like a nice warm hug with Jackson. Thank you
Your voice is as amazing as 50 years ago.
Aging together...one of my favs 💖
This song is still amazing. Jackson will be forever amazing.
JB is simply amazing... his voice has become richer through the years....
amazing....
Forever...the angels are older
Your words and music keep me sane. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Listened to You from the UK. for more than 50 years .... Are ''We'' really that old. lol Love You Jackson .....
What can I say, Jackson....If it weren't for you and Dan Fogelberg, CSN, Joni Mitchell, Linda, Ronstadt, Neil Young, Tom Petty and Cat Stevens, I wouldn't have known your souls. We are all thankful that we can go to our graves, having known your genius and heart. I love you! Thank you for so much enrichment.....Charleen.
And Van Morrison....Beautiful music from Jackson, Dan, and Van. I don't need anyone else
And Mr. Warren Zevon

Greatest poet-songwriter EVER! 💕😭
No contest.😊
Absolutely agree with that!
Dylan got a Nobel prize for literature. I reckon JB is even more deserving!
Oh..... 😥
Thank you so dearly. You posted those with the Gods of loves correct timing, as the tears fall again. 💙
Thank you for posting that ! 💙 🎶
Jackson, in case you’re listening: your voice sounds better here than it did in 1975. And this rendition of the song is better than the album version.
*you're listening
@@joeblevins1058 News must travel slowly in your part of the world, troll.
@@mrmojorisin8752
Some girlfriends are no good friends....
The voice! Amazing after all these years!
@@joeblevins1058 people who believe fake news are why he probably would never read these comments or respond. Those reports are old and have been refuted by himself and the girl friend who he is still friends with (evidenced by at least one public sighting) since the incorrect news report. And BTW if you were with a person for years and then their affair with a Kennedy was plastered all over the news while you were still together, would there not be a fight?
Damn it, I can't shake this fascination with Jackson. Beautiful soul, a heart for the environment, sense of humor, and handsome to boot. He can't be perfect, probably doesn't make his bed, or, leaves the can at the end of the driveway all week. LOL.
@@jacksonbrowne7757 originally Michigan, but been in TN for over 25 years now. Thanks for all you do.
@@jacksonbrowne7757 wish the real site administrators could block you. No true star would put a private email on a social media site for all to see. I hope no one falls victim to your scams.
Nobody writes such beauty anymore, nobody sings it like it meant to be like JB!
Still i look for the beauty in songs.
Words cannot describe how astonishingly soul moving this is!
HH bc you HHC uhh yayyyyy uhh yayyyyy z
I have never once listened without crying...💖🎶
And Greg Leisz on lap steel.....awesome !
It’s just an out-and-out privilege to hear the master delivering these masterpieces (Farther On, Looking into You, Some Bridges, Barricades of Heaven, etc.) from the intimate setting of that studio. It’s like God playing music in your living room 👏👏👏🙏🏻
and what a treat it would be to play all those top quality guitars,,,
I totally agree. He music got me through three breakups and births of three kids. Pretty much my whole history revolves with his albums! Don’t know where I’d be without Jackson and George Harrison. 🙏🏽
PROPHET MY FRIEND
Dude, your comment just made me cry, more. I'll never get through this song without crying. I love how much you love him too. He's a True Musician and a really great guy.💖🎶🎶
It's like god inviting us to a concert of Jackson Browne in heaven. much better
The master craftsman of words and music, thank you Jackson for so many years of musical bliss. One of my favorite songs of all time
A timeless classic. This guy never gives anything but 100% when performing. I saw him in Dublin and he sang each song as if it was studio dependent on a last take. Tangible performance. One of the most sincere songwriters of our time.
When I heard Late for the Sky, it completely blew me away. It is a masterpiece, without hyperbole. To me it feels like...touching eternity. This is a great performance. Jackson still sounds great.
Best album ever ... if it's allreet with Magritte.
Absolutely the best singer/songwriter hands down! Love all JB music but this song is most definitely in my top ten. Fantastic. Period.
I grew up with Jackson Browne's music. Such a big part of the soundtrack of my life .So grateful to him
Thank you for your continued gifts, it is much appreciated.
Who would have thought I'd be listening to this..at 60+ yrs old. Sure sounds fresh!
Those angels are STILL looking over our (mine are 67) shoulders!
Still makes me shed tears.
Thank you so very much for these decades full of you sharing your gifts.
Blessings upon you and yours.
Jackson, I was so thrilled when I found your site resently. I have loved
You for almost 50 yrs. Damn, We are getting old. Lol. No matter what song
Or what I was going through, I found in your words meaning and peace I
Didn't know I needed or was looking for. I hope you really understand that. It has amazed me forever. Hope you are doing good. You look and sound great. As always. Love ya. Peace be with you. Linda....
You can’t beat class,the guy is full of class
So many emotions in this song, both musically and lyrically. One of your best!
Thanks for taking out time to comment, I can't return all the love that's been showed to me through these comments ,Thanks for viewing❤🌹🌹.
Where are you from dear?
What a precious, precious song. You sing my soul
Jackson, I wonder if that is your birth name, JB will go down in history in my book. He is a blessed story teller!
Jackson Browne...what can you say...his songs are the soundtrack to my life. The joy of seeing him multiple times in concert from the 70's and on!!! Love you man!
You got that ol Jackson voice Amazing
Jackson my friend.....a beautiful song, sung by a beautiful man.
Thank you.
Every songs from "Late For The Sky” is a masterpiece.
Jackson Browne - decades of bringing beauty to this world and still going strong...beautiful soul. Beautiful music.Thank you.
"Now there's a world of illusion and fantasy / In the place where the real world belongs" -- who could have known all those years ago how these lines would perfectly sum up life in the social media crazed world of the 21st century.
No words for how much I love this. Tears flow. Joy and sorrow.
What a great homage, not only to Al Schmitt but to David Lindley as well. Greg Leisz is a true master. Beautiful version Jackson and Greg. Thank you.
R.I.P. David Lindley. One of a kind. Will be greatly missed.
@@c.s.mcleod7383 Do you know something Google doesn't? I sure hope it's not so.
@@c.s.mcleod7383 I didn't mean to imply that Lindley was no longer with us; as far as I know, he is alive and well. I just meant to say that Leisz could have created his own solo but played the solo Lindley created. They are both incredibly talented players.
Thank You JB. You bring so much joy. Still.
Hi Liberty, how are you doing?
When ever he makes that last eye contact, I always find myself winking at him. Love you Jackson. 💓
Nice MS and true
Written by an "old soul," could've been written yesterday. So much more meaning, it seems ,now, at this age. RIP to your friend.
Yes, as was "These Days" when he was 16!!!
damn, that he still has that voice...... washes away so many years. ....... magical
We are blessed to have you on this earth
❤️ youre playing my life Jackson Browne and nice to hear the honor for Al Schmitt and he sure did give his best and his all ...to his last drop.
This is an incredible song, hasn't lost a bit of its strenght and beauty after all these years. Love from Italy, moving farther on.
Ciao da Londra.
L'ho visto a Roma in concerto (penso che era il 1981/82).
Son d'accordo con te su questa e molte altre canzoni sue.
E' stato sempre il mio cantante preferito.
What an amazing performance...u still got it!!!
he sounds amazing.
This song helped me in some of my darkest hours
The Master! Still, after all these years! Thank you!
... backing people too. Thank you!
For many many years one of my favorites
Dammit' the song is still fresh and relates to me after so many years!
Same here. He truly gets it.
and even more relatable the older we get...
@@direwolf6234 Yeah, I was not too sure way back then whether or not I would be around to see those angels get older. 😉
What I wouldn't do to sit back in that room and listen for as long as you're making music. 💓
Beautiful tribute! 💝

It dosent get better than hearing JB songs, these at home songs are so personal, we feel like we are sitting in his living room with him!
Oh God, Thank you for this man 💟🌷🙏
This is one of my favorite songs by Jackson, and to be able to watch him play it and sing it after all these years is beyond words. He is beyond a genius, and I feel it an honor that I was here on this earth to hear it. Because in the future many will watch this video and weep at what the world has lost when this man is gone.
They don’t make em like this anymore... First of all, let me just say how amazing his voice still is. A little more grit to it, sure, but no less heart and soul. Greg is a monster player, yet he doesn’t overwhelm the key vocal runs in this tune. And the song itself is just amazing. A masterpiece within a masterpiece. Jackson is truly one of the greatest to ever do what he does!
I have a swimming pool in the backyard filled with my tears through the years listening to your music!
This song is incredible, and this performance of it.. and Late for the Sky is one of the greatest albums of all time
your music is intertwined with my life since hearing you in the early yrs. Thank you for sharing your God given talent .
Mr. Browne I don't think you know how much we appreciate these amazing musical god sends at these terrible times. And thank you to Greg Leisz one of the best in the business.
greg is as good as david lindley
In the long shadow of the original Lindley performance Greg certainly did an absolutely masterful job, I didn’t miss David for a second, I was transfixed by Greg’s mastery.
I had to do enough in this life to earn having a man who looks like you beside me as the angels look over my shoulder and I listen to you sing. And I can cry if I want to. You've made the road so much better. Love and light to you, Jackson. From one still dancing.
Jackson is like a fine wine, his voice keeps getting richer and seasoned with time.
I remember opening the vinyl to this almost 50 years ago now, putting it on the turntable and lifting the tonearm to replay this song multiple times. You and Lindley nailed it then and you and Liesz still nail it today.
Nobody can write better then Jackson. Just wish he wouldn't talk.
never understood how a 25 year old could write this song
now i know that jackson's future self went back in time and whispered the lyrics to him
Bless you Jackson..your genuine ability to just stay so real and carry on inspiring us with your hearts songs just never fail to make the world a better place..may every day be kind to you..
I hope to one day meet you, shake your hand and thank you from the bottom of my heart for writing this song.
What a beautiful song.
Legendary
Beautiful lyrics and a beautiful song. “still I look for the beauty in songs to fill my head and lead me on”..... very touching lyrics to me. Thank you.😘
Thank you Jackson, again.
I will never forget hearing this song for the first time. It was the moment when I knew I had to hear more from him. It was an awakening to many, many years of joy, tears and everything in between and feeling like someone really understood me. Thank you so much, Jackson. Listening to this today made my heart soar. 💞
Jackson, I’ve no idea if you’ll see this or not, but if the Universe sees fit, I’ve no doubt you will.
It’s difficult for me to put into words how much your music has meant to me through the years , both good times and your songs that have seen me through the most difficult. However, Farther On means the most to me, as it brings back so many memories of my son Timothy O’Patrick. 14 yrs ago, he passed away at 19 from an accidental od. Your song Farther On brings back so many memories of a talented bright young man just about to set out into the world.
I want you to know how much comfort & hope this song gives me. Thank you sharing it with the world.
I honor, love & respect you,Jackson Browne! I’m so blessed I got to see you in St. Louis a few years back. It’s a memory I deeply cherish. God bless, brother and keep fighting the good fight! With heartfelt gratitude & peace ~BellaDJ/Mid Missouri 🍀💕🌎
I have no words that can express what I feel about this song and Jackson.......and Greg's amazing part also. I am 68 and have loved music my whole life, and followed it very closely since I was a kid. I know this is just one person's opinion, but I think Jackson is the greatest writer of lyrics in the Rock Era. Whoever is 2nd is a LONG way behind him! I love his music, and one reasons is because of his incredible lyrics. I have been blessed to seee him in concert 2 times........once when he was by himself, and once with his band. I've been to quite a lot of concerts in 68 years, and his solo acoustic concert was the best one that i have EVER been to! AMAZING! He put his heart and soul into every song. Thank you Jackson, for sharing your talent with the rest of the world. We are better people because of you!
Thank you, Jackson, one of my faves. Been listening since I was 15, 47 years ago. You still "got it"!

Beautiful!💙👏🏻
Such a brilliant and beautiful song! Jackson is a legend💕🎹💕
Thank you Jackson for these videos. I have been a fan since the 70s.
Let the music keep our spirit high. Thanks, Jackson for a life of music, dreams and poetry. Come to Italy again, we are waiting for you.
This song was so relevant to me at 14! Lost my parents. Sad souls so young. But you knew it too. Thank you for this album. Thank you for your music. We were blessed to live when we did. There will never be music like this again. Love you always.
