What I love about Brian Fallon, from both a solo and Gaslight writing point of view, is the way that he has grown up with his listeners. From rocking out to the punk rock infused Sink or Swim to this song that I have listened to for the first time today. It seems ever album was speaking to the mental age I was at that time. I am a father now and I think a lot of his fans from the early days are older, maybe with children, or reflecting on a past of chaos and wild dreams. It's surreal, but I have always loved how he speaks to a past and present part of myself.
My little girl left for University today. I held it together pretty good, until I listened to this. Thanks Brian, for a song that strikes hard at the heart.
The fact that this isn't already the biggest Father Daughter dance wedding song in history is a tragedy. The fact that it exists and portrays so much of the heart of everyone who's ever had a kid is a miracle.
I’m hoping if the day comes where she gets married and I’m part of her decision for the daddy/daughter dance my baby girl will dance with me to this. Cried the first time I saw this video 2 years ago and still crying today 😢 Thank you for the wonderful music, Brian
The only song that's ever made me cry. I'll never forget pressing play on this album the day it came out, hearing this first song and just bursting in to tears. So beautiful, my 3 year old girl even asks "is that Brian, Daddy?" when your songs come on.
I’ve been a die-hard TGA, THC and Brian on his solo project for ten years now, and not one song of his has made me cry on the first listen, and I aint no father. This is magic.
I can't watch 10 seconds of this without fighting back tears...I miss my baby so much it is killing me. I blinked. And she's 3 years old. I wanna go back so bad I am dying without you ....
My first was born right after Painkillers, my second the same morning as Sleepwalkers came out. We had a miscarriage three weeks ago. Brian's truly been the soundtrack to my adult life. Maybe we'll have the third by the time of the rescheduled Madrid show next February. Stay strong world.
Thank you@@eliirwin5618and @auridel81 Perhaps I owe an update since it's been so long and life, as it does, takes the course it will. The one I referred to here was the first that we had that year. We were in the throes of Covid, which was particularly horrific and tumultuous in Spain, as we were only the third country after China and Italy to get hit, so nobody knew how to react; my two girls weren't legally allowed to leave our apartment for 51 days. Nobody really knew the mortality rate yet, including for children (or even symptoms such as loss of taste and smell). I worried for my wife. I worried for my two girls. And I worried I wouldn't be able to hide my worry and I'd worry my girls. My wife, a pharmacist who owns a pharmacy (who I've been with more than two decades and the reason why I live in Spain and became Spanish), had to work no matter what. And she was robbed at knifepoint twice in the weeks surrounding that first miscarriage (as only banks, pharmacies, hospitals, and grocery stores were allowed to be open, which limited the number of targets). It probably happened within days of me having left this first comment. They were, in all sincerity, very dark times for me. I ticked off the days on my kids' calendar fantasizing about the future that wasn't coming fast enough but also being upset with myself for not being able to shake off the anxiety and enjoy time I would never get back with my small girls ("and now time is flyin', so much has already flown"). And amidst all of that, Local Honey came out. I had been so eager to listen to it. My third child was going to be born and, like with my first two, my third was going to have an album to sing and dance to. But that wasn't meant to be. When I listened to "21 days", I just broke down in a bathroom (again, I wasn't allowed to step foot out of my house; they were wheeling cadavers out of houses in front of ours but I couldn't let my girls see). Others had it worse. But, as Fallon sang in Rosemary, "And everybody's hurt, and mine ain't the worst // But it's mine and I'm feelin' it now." I decided to avoid listening to this album while the world - and my world - burned. I didn't want this album to be tainted. Although not tainted, it is inextricably linked to that time. I can't avoid it. And perhaps I don't want it any other way. It took a lot of time, I can listen to it now with fondness. I will continue to do so. But, after all of what happened, when Fallon finally could make it to Madrid in May of 2022, my wife was heavily pregnant with our third little girl. She was - and remains - healthy and she is perfect in every way (she's funny, she has never not slept through the night, she eats everything we put in front of her, she is a joy to my two other daughters). So the story - my story - for now, is happy. There will be trials and tribulations ahead, some predictable and others not. But we grow, as individuals, as families, as societies. And we do it with a soundtrack, whether the tracks are the sounds of sirens, or people clanging pots and pans on balconies every night to thank first responders, or albums that make us sing with sorrow or with joy. And those soundtracks link all of us, temporally, thematically, and emotionally. So, thank you for your comments. We made it through those times and we move forward. And thank you, Brian, for having made much of our soundtrack. Until the next album, friends; may there always be more songs in your life than sirens.
My first daughter was born August 2020. When I heard this song it made me cry too. It just immediately encapsulated everything I felt about becoming a dad and what I wanted her to know about how I feel about being her dad.
Didn't mean to click on this from my recommended, been listening to Nirvana and Alice In Chains all night with the anniversaries of Kurt and Layne today. I'm glad I did because this is beautiful.
Been a fan since I was 14. Been listening to this since it released. Now, my wife and I are expecting twins. This song came on the other day and I'm finally starting to understand it
I watched this a couple of months before my daughter was born and I always return. Brings a tear to my eye each time. They grow up so fast and certainly cheer you up like crazy by simply being them! Thank you endlessly, Brian. My life began when my little girl was born and this has and will always be the soundtrack. Love my little angel! - " God, I pray they love you, half as much as me."
My bonus dad since I was 2, just passed away 4 months ago after a short battle with cancer, and this song means more than ever to me now. It's hard to listen to but it helps. Thank you for all of your meaningful, amazing music. 💞
Brain, man, you killed me. First time I heard this, I had my 4 year old daughter asleep in my lap. Never had a song make me cry like that. Well done sir.
Wow, what a great Album! Thank you Brian."Make sure they love you half as much as me." GOLD. I want to throw this to the woman of my life, but Sarah is gone.
Damn, I'm 25 and don't have any kids, but just listening to this really got my feelings going. My mum is the most amazing precious person to me, and life has not always been easy but the memories of being young with my mum, brothers and other family make me feel emotional everytime, I miss it all. I wish I could give them everything they've ever wanted, I wish I could be the best i can be, for them.
Thank you Lewismv3.im 66 and my 40 year old has struggled a majority of his life and he’s doing great now and it warms my heart ❤️ to hear someone of your age to have an old school beautiful way of thinking
It’s hard to explain but Brian’s music evolved in sync with my life. Painkillers, sleepwalkers and now local honey. Ive hard dark times during painkillers and sleepwalkers. Now, I have a fiancé and a little girl paired with Local Honey. It couldn’t fit any better. I don’t know where the road is going to take us next Brian, but I’m glad I have you to put music to it. Lol
My first was born 6 weeks ago. I listened to this song earlier today for the first time in awhile, and now it's been on repeat for hours. In 6 weeks he's already so much bigger. Please time, slow down.
Been playing this album on and off in the background at work and humming this song at other times without giving it proper attention. The message sunk on on my drive to work today and the emotions flowed. They flowed all day. Played it for my wife at home and both had a good cry in the kitchen, never had a song hit me this way before as I thought about our girls growing up and the journeys they will take ❤️
Brian Gallagher I hate to disagree with you but during Painkillers only one song made me want to skip. But again this is my opinion and I agree with you that most if not all songs are fantastic
In this life there will be trouble, but you shall overcome They'll hurt you in your heartstrings, they'll leave you in the dust But you do just like I told you, stand strong and hold your own A soft answer quiets wrath, a gentle whisper breaks a bone I can't tell you who to love I don't know who that might be I hope they cheer you up like crazy Sweep you right up off your feet Though I don't want you to grow up Cause I don't want you to leave When you're ready to choose someone Make sure they love you half as much as me In the night there will be darkness, but your light is bright enough There'll be lovers sometimes leaving, and lovers you'll stand up But you do just like I told you, keep your heart above all things It's a wicked world, my lovely, but you don't have to let it in I can't tell you who to love I don't know who that might be I hope they cheer you up like crazy Sweep you right up off your feet Though I don't want you to grow up Cause I don't want you to leave When you're ready to choose someone Make sure they love you half as much as me So for now I'll be your audience applause For now I'll leave the night light on I know the time is flying, so much has already flown And I'm watching you just color Yeah, I'm watching you just color With your brand new pajamas on I can't tell you who to love I don't know who that might be I hope they cheer you up like crazy Sweep you right up off your feet Though I don't want you to grow up Cause I don't want you to leave When you're ready to choose someone Make sure they love you half as much as me Submit Corrections
Tough day and needed something to remind me what it is that makes all the hard stuff worth it. This couldn’t have been released on a better day. Love my boys more than anything.
For over a decade Brian Fallon comes around every 2 years like clockwork... He sings mine inner thoughts and feelings back to me. I have a 4 year old daughter, and this song hits the spot.
I remember listening to his earlier music, singing about his high school days hanging out with friends and figuring life out. Now, we’re listening to him sing about his daughter and fatherhood. What a beautiful progression.
It takes a little to make me emotional for a track, but it takes me a lot to just break down and melt on first listen, which is just what happened when I heard this song upon album release. But when the line "So for now, I'll be your audience applause. For now, I'll leave the nightlight on. And I know that time is flying, so much has already flown. And I'm watching you just coloring...with your brand new pajamas on"- I'm reduced to an emotional puddle, especially thinking of my almost 6 year old daughter. So powerful.
It's Rare these days an album truly captures my imagine and speaks to me. But wow Brian has done it with local honey. A little masterpiece in my opinion. He is Without a doubt one of the finest songwriters alive today.
Entire album is amazing. So much emotion. Also love how you can relate to Brian's songs, even if they aren't written specifically about things you've experienced.
@BrianFallonVEVO Thanks for this We had a baby girl in december i heard this song just weeks earlier and it hit every note. I love all your music was going to be my first concert/music event this year in Toronto but due to covid and all. Please keep making amazing music. Your lyrics just hit home. Cheers dude!
This song I consider a song that describes me. I'm 15 yrs old I've lived alone before because my mom passed away and my dad was always passed out drunk and I had to fend for myself for years. Luckily.my grandma finally took custody over me but it's too late. My childhood ended far too early. But this song definitely helps. I used to be a street kid I did drugs and drank alchohol and my.grandma saved my life. So did vehicles lmao. I love cars. But I'm glad I didnt waste my life and I think this song describes me pretty well. And I'm glad my life changed because idk where I'd be right now if I stayed on that path. I have since forgived my dad and hes serving hard time in the correctional facility but hes sober and hes coming back into my life in a good way.
Have loved Fallon’s stuff since Gaslights first record. As a father of 17 and 13 year old girls, this song rips me in half. So awesome, Brian. Thank you
Beautiful. I have 2 little ones and can’t finish the song I started about them. But this song caught some of what I want to catch when I finish it. Love fallon.
Been waiting for this day. Couldn't of come at a better time. Thanks Mr Fallon. This will be my soundtrack of isolation. Stay safe Fallon Community and to the rest of the World.
Wow, that was powerful. As a father of 3 that song hits hard. Great writing Brian, knowing that your a father as well I know how important this song/message is to you. Loving this new album!
Love how in the middle of his fatherly protective state , He was able to see that he is future tripping and that his daughter has absolutely no clue of anything he's referring to , what makes his love is the fact that all she knows is the here and now which is coloring and new PJs. . Incredible reference to the innocence of children which actually brings him back to his reasoning of being protective. . How he's able to organize his thoughts and emotions through song writing is such a beautiful gift. My favorite song writer of all time.
From a daddy to his baby girl. I cant tell you who to love, dont know who that might be, i hope they cheer you up like crazy sweep you right up off your feet, though i dont want you to grow up, because i dont want you to leave, when you’re ready to choose someone, i hope they love you half as much as me.
This is the kinda music that makes me love listening to Brian Fallon. Slow, soulful with a nice message and hopeful tone. Not too much synthetic stuff or "fluff" just good music.
I'm thankful for TH-cam recommendations. I never heard of Brian Fallon but I thumbed up this song less than 2 seconds in. What else do I need to listen to?
In this life there will be trouble, but you shall overcome. They'll hurt you in your heartstrings, they'll leave you in the dust. But you do just like I told you, stand strong and hold your own. A soft answer quiets wrath, a gentle whisper breaks a bone. I can't tell you who to love. I don't know who that might be. I hope they cheer you up like crazy, sweep you right up off your feet. Though I don't want you to grow up, Cause I don't want you to leave. When you're ready to choose someone, Make sure they love you half as much as me. In the night there will be darkness, but your light is bright enough. There'll be lovers sometimes leaving, and lovers you'll stand up. But you do just like I told you, keep your heart above all things. It's a wicked world, my lovely, but you don't have to let it in. I can't tell you who to love. I don't know who that might be. I hope they cheer you up like crazy, sweep you right up off your feet. Though I don't want you to grow up, Cause I don't want you to leave. When you're ready to choose someone, Make sure they love you half as much as me. So for now I'll be your audience applause. For now I'll leave the night light on. I know the time is flying, so much has already flown. And I'm watching you just color. Yeah, I'm watching you just color, with your brand new pajamas on. I can't tell you who to love. I don't know who that might be. I hope they cheer you up like crazy, sweep you right up off your feet. Though I don't want you to grow up, Cause I don't want you to leave. when you're ready to choose someone, Make sure they love you half as much as me
I absolutely LOVE this song. I plan to use this song at my daughter's wedding someday as the Father and the Bride dance.

I love that man proper hit the nail on the head with that
“In this life there will be trouble, but you shall overcome”
Opening line - how fitting.
Hang on in there world, we will overcome 🌍👊
Thought the exact same thing when I gave the album its first spin yesterday. Unbelievably fitting first line.
My little girl left for University today. I held it together pretty good, until I listened to this. Thanks Brian, for a song that strikes hard at the heart.

This, Rod Stewart’s version of “Forever Young” and “Landslide” are my immediate first dance with my daughters at their weddings songs.
The only song that's ever made me cry. I'll never forget pressing play on this album the day it came out, hearing this first song and just bursting in to tears. So beautiful, my 3 year old girl even asks "is that Brian, Daddy?" when your songs come on.
This song broke me on the drive to work today. I love my kids so much. Thanks for this powerful song ❤
I’ve been a die-hard TGA, THC and Brian on his solo project for ten years now, and not one song of his has made me cry on the first listen, and I aint no father.
This is magic.
But you're somebody's son. Been here since the beginning too. As a mom this got in the feels
I can't watch 10 seconds of this without fighting back tears...I miss my baby so much it is killing me. I blinked. And she's 3 years old. I wanna go back so bad I am dying without you ....
I'm gonna be a dad in July, Brian. This definitely made me cry.
My first was born right after Painkillers, my second the same morning as Sleepwalkers came out. We had a miscarriage three weeks ago. Brian's truly been the soundtrack to my adult life. Maybe we'll have the third by the time of the rescheduled Madrid show next February. Stay strong world.
@@BikesAndBatallas my best wishes for next February 😍
Hope everything is going smoothly, brother
Thank you@@eliirwin5618and @auridel81
Perhaps I owe an update since it's been so long and life, as it does, takes the course it will.
The one I referred to here was the first that we had that year. We were in the throes of Covid, which was particularly horrific and tumultuous in Spain, as we were only the third country after China and Italy to get hit, so nobody knew how to react; my two girls weren't legally allowed to leave our apartment for 51 days. Nobody really knew the mortality rate yet, including for children (or even symptoms such as loss of taste and smell). I worried for my wife. I worried for my two girls. And I worried I wouldn't be able to hide my worry and I'd worry my girls.
My wife, a pharmacist who owns a pharmacy (who I've been with more than two decades and the reason why I live in Spain and became Spanish), had to work no matter what. And she was robbed at knifepoint twice in the weeks surrounding that first miscarriage (as only banks, pharmacies, hospitals, and grocery stores were allowed to be open, which limited the number of targets). It probably happened within days of me having left this first comment. They were, in all sincerity, very dark times for me. I ticked off the days on my kids' calendar fantasizing about the future that wasn't coming fast enough but also being upset with myself for not being able to shake off the anxiety and enjoy time I would never get back with my small girls ("and now time is flyin', so much has already flown").
And amidst all of that, Local Honey came out. I had been so eager to listen to it. My third child was going to be born and, like with my first two, my third was going to have an album to sing and dance to. But that wasn't meant to be. When I listened to "21 days", I just broke down in a bathroom (again, I wasn't allowed to step foot out of my house; they were wheeling cadavers out of houses in front of ours but I couldn't let my girls see).

And those soundtracks link all of us, temporally, thematically, and emotionally. So, thank you for your comments. We made it through those times and we move forward.

My daughter starts university this month. Sent her this.😍
"watching you just color with your new pajamas on"
he's got me again
Didn't mean to click on this from my recommended, been listening to Nirvana and Alice In Chains all night with the anniversaries of Kurt and Layne today. I'm glad I did because this is beautiful.
I just put my daughter to bed and then I saw this video. I couldn't hold the tears back. 😅
Hits you right where you live.
I'm incapable of not sobbing when I listen to this song
These onions are strong 😭😭😭
I have never heard a bad song by Brian Fallon. He is a national treasure. We are lucky to have him and Springsteen in our lifetime.
Been a fan since I was 14. Been listening to this since it released. Now, my wife and I are expecting twins. This song came on the other day and I'm finally starting to understand it
There’s nothing sexier or sweeter than a man singing love songs to his children.

You bring hope, happines and positivity with your songs in such dark times. Thank you for the album, Brian. Stay true 😊
Beautiful n honest words
Damn you, Fallon. You broke me with this one. 😭 This is seriously one of the most beautiful songs about being a parent I've ever heard.
In the night there will be darkness, but your light is bright enough.
Listened to this song on my way into work this morning. Glad it was still dark outside..........
One line in and this song had me. I don't even kids, this is just beautiful
Brain, man, you killed me. First time I heard this, I had my 4 year old daughter asleep in my lap. Never had a song make me cry like that. Well done sir.

In this life there will be trouble, but you shall overcome
They'll hurt you in your heartstrings, they'll leave you in the dust
But you do just like I told you, stand strong and hold your own

Tough day and needed something to remind me what it is that makes all the hard stuff worth it. This couldn’t have been released on a better day. Love my boys more than anything.
Exactly. Today has been such a long stressful day and I'm so glad I got on TH-cam tonight. My little boy is everything to me
I wish he was my Dad and I'm older than he is, hah! The heart in this guy is what probably makes him a genius!
For over a decade Brian Fallon comes around every 2 years like clockwork... He sings mine inner thoughts and feelings back to me. I have a 4 year old daughter, and this song hits the spot.
I love listening to this song and thinking about my little boy & girl 😍
Brian I hope life stays good for you, though I do miss the joyful heartache songs
Well this is one too...
He does it again. This man is a gift.
As a new father I really understand this. Beautiful as always Brian ❤️
I remember listening to his earlier music, singing about his high school days hanging out with friends and figuring life out. Now, we’re listening to him sing about his daughter and fatherhood. What a beautiful progression.
One of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard. Jesus this guy is good.
Beautiful
Well I certainly wasn't expecting to be brought to taste this morning but here we are.
I have four daughters. This is perfect.
Brian always makes the best songs❤🎧 can never get tired of them, I love his albums on even the gaslight anthem with the horrible crowes.
If you have kids, then this is probably the best song on the album.
Maybe... I don't have any and it's nice poetry but I miss the darkness and sadness in the other songs more
I have a 15 month old son and its perfect
Kids or no kids this is a beautiful song , its also about family too it made me cry 😭😭😭😭😭
This or Vincent but this song is very good
@@SabrinaChach There's sadness here. Thinking of children growing and leaving breaks hearts. Read the comments from parents.
Simply beautiful!! Exactly how I feel about my children when the time comes and they start falling in love! ♥️♥️♥️
It takes a little to make me emotional for a track, but it takes me a lot to just break down and melt on first listen, which is just what happened when I heard this song upon album release. But when the line "So for now, I'll be your audience applause. For now, I'll leave the nightlight on. And I know that time is flying, so much has already flown.

It's Rare these days an album truly captures my imagine and speaks to me. But wow Brian has done it with local honey. A little masterpiece in my opinion. He is Without a doubt one of the finest songwriters alive today.
This is my favorite song you have made.
I love your songs so much.
Love this song
This will be my father's daughter's dance at my daughter's wedding one day.
Entire album is amazing. So much emotion. Also love how you can relate to Brian's songs, even if they aren't written specifically about things you've experienced.
@BrianFallonVEVO Thanks for this We had a baby girl in december i heard this song just weeks earlier and it hit every note. I love all your music was going to be my first concert/music event this year in Toronto but due to covid and all. Please keep making amazing music. Your lyrics just hit home. Cheers dude!
Dude never disappoints. It's just the words, Mary it's just the lyrics.
Wow. This one for sure tugs at the heart strings...thanks brother
This song I consider a song that describes me. I'm 15 yrs old I've lived alone before because my mom passed away and my dad was always passed out drunk and I had to fend for myself for years. Luckily.my grandma finally took custody over me but it's too late. My childhood ended far too early. But this song definitely helps. I used to be a street kid I did drugs and drank alchohol and my.grandma saved my life. So did vehicles lmao. I love cars. But I'm glad I didnt waste my life and I think this song describes me pretty well. And I'm glad my life changed because idk where I'd be right now if I stayed on that path. I have since forgived my dad and hes serving hard time in the correctional facility but hes sober and hes coming back into my life in a good way.
Have loved Fallon’s stuff since Gaslights first record. As a father of 17 and 13 year old girls, this song rips me in half. So awesome, Brian. Thank you
Beautiful. I have 2 little ones and can’t finish the song I started about them. But this song caught some of what I want to catch when I finish it. Love fallon.
As always Brian Fallon created a perfecto song!
Damnit.... geez this is really good. Tear jerker w the video.
Been waiting for this day. Couldn't of come at a better time. Thanks Mr Fallon. This will be my soundtrack of isolation. Stay safe Fallon Community and to the rest of the World.
Wow, that was powerful. As a father of 3 that song hits hard. Great writing Brian, knowing that your a father as well I know how important this song/message is to you. Loving this new album!
"I'm watching you color, yea I'm watching you color in your brand new pajamas" ❤️❤️
Love how in the middle of his fatherly protective state , He was able to see that he is future tripping and that his daughter has absolutely no clue of anything he's referring to , what makes his love is the fact that all she knows is the here and now which is coloring and new PJs. . Incredible reference to the innocence of children which actually brings him back to his reasoning of being protective. . How he's able to organize his thoughts and emotions through song writing is such a beautiful gift. My favorite song writer of all time.
Beautiful! Never a bad song B man 🙏🕉🙌
From a daddy to his baby girl.
I cant tell you who to love, dont know who that might be, i hope they cheer you up like crazy sweep you right up off your feet, though i dont want you to grow up, because i dont want you to leave, when you’re ready to choose someone, i hope they love you half as much as me.
This is the kinda music that makes me love listening to Brian Fallon. Slow, soulful with a nice message and hopeful tone. Not too much synthetic stuff or "fluff" just good music.
awesome, awesome, awesome....love it
Beautiful 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Why would someone give this song a thumbs down :( "someone boo that man"

I love this Music I found you , random I am very happy to find you here ... the heart song is like soul mates ... than you for your Music
Oof right in the heart ❤️ I wonder if any of those were Brian’s wife/kids :’)
In this life there will be trouble, but you shall overcome.
They'll hurt you in your heartstrings, they'll leave you in the dust.
But you do just like I told you, stand strong and hold your own.
A soft answer quiets wrath, a gentle whisper breaks a bone.
I can't tell you who to love.
I don't know who that might be.
I hope they cheer you up like crazy, sweep you right up off your feet.
Though I don't want you to grow up,
Cause I don't want you to leave.
When you're ready to choose someone,
Make sure they love you half as much as me.
In the night there will be darkness, but your light is bright enough.
There'll be lovers sometimes leaving, and lovers you'll stand up.
But you do just like I told you, keep your heart above all things.
It's a wicked world, my lovely, but you don't have to let it in.
I can't tell you who to love.
I don't know who that might be.
I hope they cheer you up like crazy, sweep you right up off your feet.
Though I don't want you to grow up,
Cause I don't want you to leave.
When you're ready to choose someone,
Make sure they love you half as much as me.
So for now I'll be your audience applause.
For now I'll leave the night light on.
I know the time is flying, so much has already flown.
And I'm watching you just color.
Yeah, I'm watching you just color,
with your brand new pajamas on.
I can't tell you who to love.
I don't know who that might be.
I hope they cheer you up like crazy, sweep you right up off your feet.
Though I don't want you to grow up,
Cause I don't want you to leave.
when you're ready to choose someone,
Make sure they love you half as much as me
i told you that i love...and i did. i am saddened that i could not keep you.
i have nobody to blame but me.
i love u.
The melody reminds me of Break Your Heart from Gaslight Anthem at the beginning. This new album is killer, Brian.
Damn this song made me cry :( but it's very very beautiful
IDK why but when I hear this song, I could hear Petty singing this.
Well it looks like Brian has entered his old man petty/Bowie stage. Great song
John Phillips hey yeah, I see that! Wildflowers-era Petty. Good call.
Beautiful'
