I am grieving right now, not only a death, and a lost lover, but something deeper. I can’t fully name it right now. Could it be America? Could it be so much perennial war? Could it be the planet and how we have made such as stain on it? Could it be some kind of ancient epigenetic tragedy that is inside my genome that I just innocently inherited? It’s partly about something about being alive in the moment right now in 2024. Somehow this song and the tenderness and compassion that it represents - and the sensitivity of the playing and how David Lindley makes that pedal steel cry with that distortion/edge creeping in just nails the sentiment. Thank you, you guys for playing it and for posting it.
Wow! You have a way with words and describing deep feelings. I would like to ask if you have the comfort of Jesus? If not, I would love to introduce Him to you
David Lindley. A magician. I've heard that he can play any instrument that has strings, even if he has never played it before. He is a masterful musician. He so much enhanced Jackson's music.
@@elizabethlinsay9193Yes, yes he did. Rest in Peace John Prine. You will always be rembered and loved. 😢❤✌️❤️🌼👏👏👏 Thank you for the memories with your songs. They will always live on....❤
@@maverik15j That whole verse... "These days I sit on cornerstones and count the time in quarter tones to ten, my friend. Don't confront me with my failures. I had not forgotten them." He wrote that at 16... can you believe that? I just can't imagine someone at that age who could've written that phrase... it's a prodigy songwriter for sure... a poet.

Having been blessed to have seen JB 30+ times my wife and I fell in love with his music nurturing our relationship and it still means as much to today as it did when we saw him for the very first time. His music is truly a gift to us all!
Saw Jackson in ‘75 at Amphitheatre in Chicago. I remember David didn’t play the slide guitar break and outro exactly the same as on the album for These Days, my fave off For Everyman. I remember telling my friend “well it was great but not as good as the album version”. I later saw an interview with David, where he said he never - couldn’t - do it the exact same way each time. That just wasn’t the way his genius rolled. That says so much about how connected he was to the music and the moment. And I think he laid it down perfectly for the album. One of the best ever in no small part to his playing. RIP Prince of Polyester, you are legendary bro!
Finally saw him at blues festival in Oz 🦘 a few years back with my sis. We had adored him for so long and he didn't let us down. Absolutely sobbed and cried my eyes out. It was so emotional to finally see him play. Love love love him so much!!! Named my gorgeous son Jackson ! Cheers from Oz 🦘
Always magical and entrancing all at once, I love this live recording and how David strives to be unique. Jackson's voice is so beautiful and the song so meaningful no matter the times. Thank you for this.
I had the privilege to see him in Adelaide Australia in early 80's and have been an avid fan ever since. It's true what lots of people say about him being a poet....absolutely. I couldn't get the Pretender" Album of the Year" on the turn table quickly enough and even now with the CD as well i also have it in my ITUNES play list. At the time David Lindley was with him it was magical.
I was listening to this and feeling exactly the same. Was it a lost love also or looking back over the years with some regrets. Feeling lost, alone, thinking of people lost a very long time ago. Jackson Brown, amazing!
Well, I've been out walking I don't do that much talking these days These days These days I seem to think a lot About the things that I forgot to do for you And all the times I had the chance to And I had a lover But it's so hard to risk another, these days These days Now, if I seem to be afraid To live the life that I have made in song Well, it's just that I've been losin' for so long Well, I'll keep on movin', movin' on Things are bound to be improving these days One of these days These days I'll sit on corner stones And count the time in quarter tones to ten, my friend Don't confront me with my failures I had not forgotten them Source: Musixmatch Songwriters: Jackson Browne

You are not alone it’s a pervasive growing awareness of the mess the world has gotten to be 😢
That's not a sideman, that's an alter ego, twin brother of a different mother.
And that beautiful sympathetic drumming from a real great🙏🇮🇪
Wow! You have a way with words and describing deep feelings. I would like to ask if you have the comfort of Jesus? If not, I would love to introduce Him to you
This song makes me cry and is filled with such memories of the 70s, it’s almost so beautiful it hurts.
'Don't confront me with my failures, I had not forgotten them.' Brings me to tears every time. 😢
I love that!!!! So True
Jackson should have won awards for poetry. Impossible to pick my favorite song by him, but this one is right up there.
These days will never be that cool again.☺️
He wrote this when he was 16...amazing....
David Lindley was so great. He was so talented yet so quiet.
David Lindley on Steel- has there ever been a more humble awesome musician ? I love the acoustic version - but this is incredible
David Lindley. A magician. I've heard that he can play any instrument that has strings, even if he has never played it before. He is a masterful musician. He so much enhanced Jackson's music.
He doesn’t have fingers. He has ten little magic wands attaches to two other magic wands.
How can a song be so sad and yet so beautiful at the same time?
John Prine wrote many like this, too.
@@elizabethlinsay9193Yes, yes he did. Rest in Peace John Prine. You will always be rembered and loved. 😢❤✌️❤️🌼👏👏👏 Thank you for the memories with your songs. They will always live on....❤
Deep true feelings are always beautiful
It's called genius...
My eyes fill up when l hear this...these days! Humble! Simple! Perfection!
Oh yes
same. right now.
Incredible that he wrote this at age 16. Never fails to make me tear up
Just found this song and I was certainly around in 1973! Brings me to tears everytime I play it.
David Lindley was just the perfect compliment to Jackson on a hauntingly beautiful level.
Dont confront me with my failures i have not forgotten them
had not forgotten them
One of the best lines ever.

He has made my life richer,, God bless his beautiful soul. ❤😊

if there is a perfect song, this one has to be it.
First saw him in 1974, teared up then, still makes me tear up now.
Masterpiece. A song I carry with me wherever I go.
Just so happy I got to see him live in the late '70's 🤷♀️ Everyone, everywhere, had this album 😊😢✌️❤️🌼👏👏👏
How can anyone in their right minds dis this song and this artist????
That is beyond insane
To think he wrote this song at the tender age of 16. Old soul.
Simply amazing. What a song , what a way of singing , what incredible musicians .... in could be watching this video forever and ever

Saw him play this song with John Mayer on the Bob Saget tribute show, beautiful.

THE LATE : DAVID LINDLEY'S WEEPING GUITAR(VIOLIN OTHDER SONGDS< TAKES JACKSON'S VOICE & WORDS FLYING HIGH TO THE SKY< EVEN TO OUTER SPACE!!
Just so meaningful and beautiful.
I was listening to this and feeling exactly the same. Was it a lost love also or looking back over the years with some regrets. Feeling lost, alone, thinking of people lost a very long time ago. Jackson Brown, amazing!
Classic song from Jackson Browne, thanks Chris.
AT 1:49, THE LATE DAVID LINDLEY SIMPLY SOARS UP TO THE STARS
Highlight of this concert was Jim Gordon
Love,love this song!!❤️
ONE OF HIS MASTER PIECE PERFORMANCES( IN MY OWN HUMBLE
You are the best 👌
Saw him at MSG, just can't remember when 😣
Hell of a slide playing.
I CARE FOR & PROTECT MY 1ST LOVE(SAXOPHONE)
This is pure magic.
🙏 RIP DAVID
🎹🎼🎶🙏🎸 beautiful
Awesomeness
RIP David Lindley
The only thing better than David Lindley’s mastery of the steel guitar is Jackson Browne’s singing and song writing
The man that wrote it. Ben many copies
Well, I've been out walking
I don't do that much talking these days
These days
These days I seem to think a lot
About the things that I forgot to do for you
And all the times I had the chance to
And I had a lover
But it's so hard to risk another, these days
These days
Now, if I seem to be afraid
To live the life that I have made in song
Well, it's just that I've been losin' for so long
Well, I'll keep on movin', movin' on
Things are bound to be improving these days
One of these days
These days I'll sit on corner stones
And count the time in quarter tones to ten, my friend
Don't confront me with my failures
I had not forgotten them
