“Caught between the longing for love and the struggle for the legal tender... I’m gonna be a happy idiot and struggle for the legal tender.” What a great songwriter!
"I'm gonna find myself a girl Who can show me what laughter means And we'll fill in the missing colors In each other's paint-by-number dreams" - loved the lyrics in this song,
If you like Jackson's meaningful lyrics and musicianship, I highly recommend VAN MORRISON. Into the Mystic, She gives me Love, Tupelo Honey...and Brown Eyed Girl.
This song is about how everyone is "the pretender". People start out young and strong in life, thinking they will conquer the world, only to get beat down by life and work.
Totally. His work is always full of metaphors and allusions. This is a song that asks the lister to reflect on what’s important in their life. It’s a very special song to a lot of people for the self-reflection it inspires.
In a 1997 interview with Mojo magazine, Browne said of this song: "I'm a big fan of ambiguity and its bountiful rewards, and 'The Pretender' is two things at once. It's that person in all of us that has a higher ideal, and the part that has settled for compromise - like Truffaut says, there's the movie you set out to make, and there's the one you settle for. But in a more serious way, 'The Pretender' is about '60s idealism, the idea of life being about love and brotherhood, justice, social change and enlightenment, those concepts we were flooded with as our generation hit its stride; and how, later, we settled for something quite different. So when I say 'Say a prayer for The Pretender,' I'm talking about those people who are trying to convince themselves that there really was nothing to that idealism."
@@ingridstrickland8768 I think Jamel would love the funky gospel-like chorus and lyrics are so important. Yes....The Pretender has just been released so he did loads of those songs. Can still see him and his piano in the spotlight. That was in Toronto.
I'm gonna find myself a girl, who can show me what laughter means. And we'll fill in the missing colors, of each other's paint by number dreams. Great line. Great writer.
Every time I hear a song like this it amazes me. The story it tells, the music is so appealing that you almost, or maybe actually, stop what you're doing and just listen to it. That is truly a talented musician who can do that.
When I was 13 years old, my uncle -- the cool one -- said that I should listen to Jackson Browne. He specifically mentioned "The Pretender". It took me forever to figure out what Browne was saying in this song. But at 55, I now know exactly. And I know exactly why my uncle said what he did. It's about life.
Late 70’s early 80’s music was about pure emotion, much of it was about appealing to the better side of ourselves. Feel good kinda music, relatable and inspiring real life stories. And it brings me back to my own childhood 🥰❤️😘
I have listened to this song at least 100 times in my life, but this is the 1st time I have truly heard and understood the lyrics. And to be honest I shed a tear. As my middle years come to a close I can't help but think of the young me, and all of my hopes and dreams. I don't know when I gave up and "settled for the legal tender" life just has a way of beating you down.
Brother I found your Chanel by mistake wow I'm a subscriber now I thought I was the only brother that's likes all music it was foreigner I’ve been waiting
In the 70's, many of us thought we were part of Jackson's "Greater Awakening." It still seems like more of us could benefit from love rather than hate. This is a great song.
Jackson Browne was one of the best Singer songwriters of the 70's and had quite a loyal fan base. "The Pretender" is one of his most lyrically recitable songs. Cheers from the Past!
Two years later i still like watching your reaction. I remember when this first come out i was in sound warehouse looking at new releases and they were playing this song. It blew me away ! It was another reminder for me that the artificer has a duty to deliver the human spirit closer to the heart... . If one has the ability to take control of mans emotions then use it making the world a better place of conscience..
This is the last album of the trilogy of his best works. He's more world weary than he was in the previous two, less optimistic and also less fearful in a way; more accepting of his lot. After Late For The Sky, he suffered a major personal tragedy, ditched all the songs he was intending to write for this album and the result was this. So, For Everyman, Late For The Sky and The Pretender describe an arc of sorts. When I was 17, I believed that Jackson's songs would provide me with the answer to all life's questions. I had no idea what those questions might be but I was sure that Jackson could answer them for me, whatever they were. It wasn't until I was much older that I came to the realization that he was as lost in the world as the rest of us.
I was SO fortunate to be a teen in the era of great.music! This grandma.is trying to teach her grandchildren the best music ever. Hopefully when they hear this music they'll remember me after.I am gone!
I graduated from high school in 1977 and I remember feeling like 'our music was very special. It is nice to see that it actually was and has stood the test of time.
The songwriting of Jackson Browne is an American treasure. Then he takes what he writes and puts into these amazing arrangements, and “The Pretender” has all these different stylings within it. There’s the folksy country electric guitar leads, with a funk/Mowtown backbeat interplay between the drums & bass, also with orchestral strings sprinkled in and his piano & soulful voice soaring over all of it. It’s truly a masterpiece of recorded music. And I love watching people react to it for the first time, because his music is timeless
Such great lyrics, Glenn Frey and Don Henley were renting an apartment above Jackson and learned how to write lyrics. He even helped them with "Take It Easy"
Youuuuuu are correct Jamal. That era of music Spanish and English Was unique very unique. Hey no sadness Brother....you are there, here, now, and then, because what you feel now... I , we felt back then.... And we all of us are here. You see us you see you feel the music and we feel you...the love of real music, inspired music. 👍👍🏁✔💯🌍🌎🌏🙏☝😁😉
The imagery of these lyrics... Caught between the longing for love And the struggle for the legal tender Where the sirens sing and the church bells ring And the junk man pounds his fender Where the veterans dream of the fight Fast asleep at the traffic light And the children solemnly wait For the ice cream vendor Out into the cool of the evening Strolls the Pretender He knows that all his hopes and dreams Begin and end there
I remember a folk concert on the radio as a kid that I taped some of because the guy had such a great voice. I caught the full live version of the Pretender and it became a favourite without me knowing who it was until the internet arrived and I could google the lyrics. Happy to say I got to see him in concert years later. I was probably the youngest person there and actually had tears in my eyes when he played this in the encore. Magical lyrics.
Quite simply the BEST singer/songwriter of our times. I have seen him twice in concert and I also love the rapport he has with the audience. I have every one of his albums/discs. He grew up in LA. Another thing that shows how good he is....member of the Velvet Underground at 16! Musical genius and storyteller.
Ah, the memories this brings of the days of my youth. Today's music seems to lack the poetry you hear here.(see what I did there). If it does I'm unable to hear it. My dear departed one and I spent hours listening together to Jackson and the like. Thank you Jamel.
My dad and I struggled to find common ground when I was a snot-nosed teenage punk in the late 70s. The biggest common ground we found was music. This song/album/artist helped our relationship. We parted as friends in 1998. Love you to this day, Dad. Thanks for posting.
legend has it, Glenn Frey's only lyrical contribution was "it's a girl my lord, in a flatbed Ford slowing down to take a look at me", the rest is all JB
On one of the Eagles documentaries I've seen, Frey talks about he and Don Henley living above Jackson Browne in an apartment in the Valley somewhere, and JB practicing incessantly on the Piano to get his song presentation right. JD Souther was there too. I would have liked to show up with a 12 pack and share tunes with all of them!
Jackson talked to the audience last night about your reaction video to this song last night during his show at the Santa Barbara Bowl. He was pleasantly amused -- tickled even -- by your comment about "the funk."
"Say a prayer for the Pretender, Who started out so young and strong only to surrender." Dayum. Is Jackson Browne getting more profound or am I just getting older?
jamal at the end of the song..... you were literally living the theme of the song... appreciate the passion you bring to this, while like most people now, you still have to get out there & do the 40 hour week to bring home the legal tender.
I've loved this song for a load of years! Its basically a kind of soft Rock that I like to think of as 'Morning Rock'- something you can wake up to, morning in and morning out. Its even on my 'Morning Rock' playlist. lol.
Amazing album. His wife died of a drug overdose during the recording and the mood seems somewhat reflective of the event. Here Comes Those Tears Again is a great cut written by Browne and his late wife’s mom.
Marc Cohn considered Jackson Browne to be influencial on Cohn's development as a Grammy Award winner( New Artist) in the early 90s. React to WALKING IN MEMPHIS...please. Give Peter Gabriel's 'In Your Eyes' (SECRET WORLD LIVE) featuring late great Papa Wemba. It's from Gabriel's 'Secret World Live' concert film...the best way to experience that song,💃🕺🤗🤣
All My Merchandise Is Here Enter Promo Code ‘Jamel’ teespring.com/stores/jamel-aka-jamal-youtube-store
My favorite from Jackson, was hoping you'd get to it. Keep up the good work. Great storyteller, enjoy.
Into the night by Benny Mardones

jackson browne is also an excellent storyteller, check out his song - adams song, it's about one of his friends that passed away.
“Caught between the longing for love and the struggle for the legal tender... I’m gonna be a happy idiot and struggle for the legal tender.” What a great songwriter!
"I'm gonna find myself a girl
Who can show me what laughter means
And we'll fill in the missing colors
In each other's paint-by-number dreams" - loved the lyrics in this song,
We are all happy idiots...except for the ones who are too wise to be happy about it.
"Though true love could have been a contender." The best lyric!
The poet, Jackson Browne...as well as a great musician. PLEASE listen to his earlier stuff from albums, Late For the Sky and For Everyman. PLEASE
If you like Jackson's meaningful lyrics and musicianship, I highly recommend VAN MORRISON. Into the Mystic, She gives me Love, Tupelo Honey...and Brown Eyed Girl.
This song is about how everyone is "the pretender". People start out young and strong in life, thinking they will conquer the world, only to get beat down by life and work.
Yes, that's exactly what it means, thanks for saying it for me!

Feelin it every damn day~
YES! Thank you! 😉😊
@@susanfontaine5214 😉
I don't feel like Jackson Browne ever got as much recognition as he should have, great talent!!
There were a lot of great ones back then, he was one of many. Not too many though, I wish we had them again!
In a 1997 interview with Mojo magazine, Browne said of this song: "I'm a big fan of ambiguity and its bountiful rewards, and 'The Pretender' is two things at once.

Wow, that was nicely put.
Nice!!!
Warren was right. His heart is PERFECT.
I can't believe I get teary eyed with this song. .the 70s bring back very emotional memories. Say a Prayer for the Pretender.Amen..
Me too Dianne 😞
Now the time has come for "Tender is the Night."
Jackson Browne- the poet of my heart.
I'm 56 now and this song brings a tear to my eye
I'm turning 30 and so does the same
Right there with you...we're the same age too
54 😢checking in
56 this past May- still doesn’t seem like the right number 😳
65 now 21 when the song was released. Still one of my favourites
Jackson Brownes "Rock Me On The Water". You'll love it Jamel. Saw him in concert in the 70's and he was amazing!
Fantastic tune one of his real early stuff. Me too! He was great!
@@ingridstrickland8768 I think Jamel would love the funky gospel-like chorus and lyrics are so important. Yes....The Pretender has just been released so he did loads of those songs. Can still see him and his piano in the spotlight. That was in Toronto.
Seconding Rock Me on the Water, and adding Fountain of Sorrows.
CharCanuck Rock Me On The Water is too be played for me when my time has come to an end. That’s how much I love his music.
@@jeffdorsey6537 Gotcha Jeff! It's so appropriate and uplifting for the living ones to hear. Great choice! Now let's get Jamel to play it :-)
This whole album is just golden! Thank you for getting to Jackson Browne!
“And we’ll fill in the missing colors in each others paint by number dreams.” So, so good.
I have no words for that line other than complete brilliance.
I'm doing paint by number while listening. Lol
I'm gonna find myself a girl, who can show me what laughter means. And we'll fill in the missing colors, of each other's paint by number dreams. Great line. Great writer.
Modern song lyrics: look at all my money
Jackson Browne lyrics: I'm broke and I have to work
This is why we identify with his lyrics.
I LOVE Jackson Browne. He has such a great voice, and is such a great songwriter. And this is my favorite song by him.
There's just something about the singer/songwriters from this era that touch my soul. We were so blessed to have such great music ❤️
“For a dancer” by Jackson Browne. One of the most beautiful songs.
And, Fountain of Sorrow.
Yes yes yes......and In the Shape of Heart....
and Sky Blue and Black
mike smith fountain of sorrow is my other favorite. Makes me cry every time.
Gutting song.
Say a prayer for the Pretender
Who started out so young and strong, only to surrender.
Lost, or sacrificed dreams. That is most of us.
Colleen Mahony Indeed. I am sad to say I am A Pretender. The song hits me hard, and I’ve heard it a hundred times or so.
shit brings tears to the eyes of some who have been pretending
So sad and so true for so many.
@@tedwitus We are all the pretender
Every time I hear a song like this it amazes me. The story it tells, the music is so appealing that you almost, or maybe actually, stop what you're doing and just listen to it. That is truly a talented musician who can do that.
Jackson Browne's "Doctor My Eyes" is phenomenal!
Again, with the great Leland Sklar on bass, driving that song. @lelandsklar6363
When I was 13 years old, my uncle -- the cool one -- said that I should listen to Jackson Browne. He specifically mentioned "The Pretender". It took me forever to figure out what Browne was saying in this song. But at 55, I now know exactly. And I know exactly why my uncle said what he did. It's about life.
same friend. 55 me too! Understand.
Amen!
Man me too, Uncle Beau loved Jackson. Played “Song for Adam” for him when he left us.
The cool uncle. Not the drunk one 😂
About time....Thank You.... One of the best Singer Song Writers Ever.... Period!
Late 70’s early 80’s music was about pure emotion, much of it was about appealing to the better side of ourselves. Feel good kinda music, relatable and inspiring real life stories. And it brings me back to my own childhood 🥰❤️😘
Once again, Browne has David Crosby and Graham Nash singing harmony for him.
Good stuff!
This!
I didnt know but reinforces why so damn good. Ear candy!
and don't forget the late great wonderful Jeff Porcaro laying down the tempo on the kit.
This somg was soooo good live
Solid as a fkn rockkk
Thanks for that tidbit!
Jackson on point, again.
His heartfelt words and music brought tears to my eyes so many times.
I have listened to this song at least 100 times in my life, but this is the 1st time I have truly heard and understood the lyrics. And to be honest I shed a tear. As my middle years come to a close I can't help but think of the young me, and all of my hopes and dreams.

Now you are getting to the GOOD stuff of Jackson. This is one of my favorite songs, by far. It’s crushing.
In the 70's, many of us thought we were part of Jackson's "Greater Awakening." It still seems like more of us could benefit from love rather than hate. This is a great song.
Check out, "Loadout/Stay" by Mr Browne!
I've seen a lot of requests for that one!
Jackson Browne was one of the best Singer songwriters of the 70's and had quite a loyal fan base. "The Pretender" is one of his most lyrically recitable songs. Cheers from the Past!
Seriously... Loadout/Stay before you leave the Jackson Browne rabbit hole.
Gotta do that one! Jackson's tribute to his fans.
yes, 1000 times yes
Absolutely!! I was going to leave that as a suggestion. Never fails to give me chills.
My favorite!!
Two years later i still like watching your reaction. I remember when this first come out i was in sound warehouse looking at new releases and they were playing this song. It blew me away !

"Time Passages" by Al Stewart - it is a very moving song that I know you will enjoy and feel and hear the meaning
All of AL Stewarts stuff is ah-mazing!!
Yes that is a wonderful song. One of my very faves!
Great suggestion.
David Barger Great song and fantastic album👍🏻❤️☮️
@@kbusby4824 I literally just listened to video of him talking about writing Year of the Cat (and about starting his career.)
This song. Buckle yourself in. You're about to hear a fuc*in Masterpiece. ❤
This is the last album of the trilogy of his best works. He's more world weary than he was in the previous two, less optimistic and also less fearful in a way; more accepting of his lot.

I just told my mom that same thing! I’m teaching my grandkids too!
That funk is Leland Sklar on Bass, a wonderful session and touring genius
Jackson Browne did a nod to Jamel and Leland Sklar at Santa Barbara Bowl tonight, great concert
Still being so young,.. I love your musical knowledge of oldies music. God Bless You.
"The Loadout/Stay", c'mon son.
He did that one already. Not sure if it got blocked.
@@robinbeers6689 No, he has not done the load out/stay yet.
One of my faves from him 💗
For Real
My favorite
Such songwriting and storytelling requires no video. Stirs up listeners imagination so well. Masterful.
I can't begin to describe how much I love seeing you fall in love with Jackson songs
I graduated from high school in 1977 and I remember feeling like 'our music was very special. It is nice to see that it actually was and has stood the test of time.
One of my favorite songs. Check out Fountain of Sorrow and Late for the Sky
One of the the greatest song writers of our time!
It's about the spirit of the 60s that got lost in the 70s.
Exactly. Might have been before there were "yuppies", but the trend was in that direction as he could see.
It's about us living through the wild and changing times.
The songwriting of Jackson Browne is an American treasure. Then he takes what he writes and puts into these amazing arrangements, and “The Pretender” has all these different stylings within it. There’s the folksy country electric guitar leads, with a funk/Mowtown backbeat interplay between the drums & bass, also with orchestral strings sprinkled in and his piano & soulful voice soaring over all of it. It’s truly a masterpiece of recorded music. And I love watching people react to it for the first time, because his music is timeless
Greatest lyricist of all time.
Jackson Browne was huge from the early 70s until the mid 80s just one of many hits that he had great reaction
One of my favorite JB songs, but my favorite song is These Days, Load Out/Stay and Rosie. Hard to choose a favorite with such a skilled songwriter.
These Days. Just beautifully written.
@@nancy9478 and he wrote it when he was 16!
You can add For A Dancer to that list :) this man is a true legendary songwriter
I always liked lawyers in love.
Such great lyrics, Glenn Frey and Don Henley were renting an apartment above Jackson and learned how to write lyrics. He even helped them with "Take It Easy"
So cool. May the Lord richly bless you!
Youuuuuu are correct Jamal. That
era of music Spanish and English
Was unique very unique. Hey no sadness Brother....you are there, here, now, and then, because what you feel now... I , we felt back then.... And we all of us are here. You see us you see you feel
the music and we feel you...the love of real music, inspired music.
👍👍🏁✔💯🌍🌎🌏🙏☝😁😉
The imagery of these lyrics...
Caught between the longing for love
And the struggle for the legal tender
Where the sirens sing and the church bells ring
And the junk man pounds his fender
Where the veterans dream of the fight
Fast asleep at the traffic light
And the children solemnly wait
For the ice cream vendor
Out into the cool of the evening
Strolls the Pretender
He knows that all his hopes and dreams
Begin and end there
Marty P so good.
Andy Scott yeah it is hauntingly. beautiful
Thanks for this
One of the most beautiful songs ever~ ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Jackson Browne was my first concert.
He made me love going to live shows.
I spent my teenage years at every concert in San Diego.
"These Days"!!!! Please, I love that song!
I will always love this song. Jackson is one our great songwriters. Sings beautifully as well.
Thank you, you brought back memories of better times.
My dad and I struggled to find common ground when I was a snot-nosed teenage punk in the late 70s. The biggest common ground we found was music. This song/album/artist helped our relationship. We parted as friends in 1998. Love you to this day, Dad. Thanks for posting.
Jackson Browne next: The Loadout/Stay!
And the Stay/Love is the acoustic version. Showcases David Lindley.
Woman hater thus beater! Fuck his talent. That's how so many ppl get away with abuse.
Brother Jackson does have a very soothing, approachable voice. But more than anything he is one of the greatest song writers of the 20th century.
I was waiting for this one....i live all Jackson Brown
Oh I loooooooove this song. Played this over and over and over on my record player back in the 70's
I love Jackson Browne; he has some of the best lyrics.
One of my all-time favorite songs. It's so easy to connect to as we get older and work and getting by slowly swallow up our dreams.
Dan Folgelberg, Leader of the Band. Another great song writer.
JB is part of the soundtrack of my life. among many others. He was near the top of my favorites. Such a great songwriter.
Since you’ve worked concerts before, you should really listen to “Stay/The Loadout”. You will be able to relate, and will love it!
Thank you for reacting and sharing The Pretender. You were wearing the proper sweatshirt for it KEEP GREAT MUSIC ALIVE and you are. We all thank you.
Love me some Jackson Browne. He's a songwriting genius. He co-wrote "Take It Easy" w/ Glenn Frey of the Eagles.

What a voice !!! My first 8 track tape was Jackson Browne. Time travel lol
Watching this again for the 100th time....though I love all Jackson Browne this has to be his greatest one for me
on a good system this tune sounds so tight
Prophetic, life reflective & how music used to be...Moving, meaningful and understood...Thanks Jackson!
"Say a prayer for the Pretender, Who started out so young and strong only to surrender."
Dayum. Is Jackson Browne getting more profound or am I just getting older?
um, both...? -from some old guy
I felt super-old just now hearing that line. I haven't felt young and strong for a long time. We all have to surrender eventually.
He always was. You're noticing more details.
Well, given that he wrote that nearly fourty-five years ago...
@@Serai3 or..."These Days" which was written over 50 years ago...
And we'll fill in the missing colors of each others paint by number dreams....love that line!

Amazing album. His wife died of a drug overdose during the recording and the mood seems somewhat reflective of the event. Here Comes Those Tears Again is a great cut written by Browne and his late wife’s mom.
My senior year in high school Jackson Browne I love Jackson Browne he sings the truth
I knew you'd like this one, it's one his more thoughtful songs.
I don't know how you can single out this song. JB is the quintessential "thoughtful: songwriter.
Early great Jackson Browne.....For Everyman and Late For the Sky....poetry put to music...
Next gotta be "The Load Out/Stay"
They got Richard Pryor on the video. A tribute to all the Roadies behind the scenes
His best song, IMO, and he's an amazing songwriter. This song speaks for so many of us.
Marc Cohn considered Jackson Browne to be influencial on Cohn's development as a Grammy Award winner( New Artist) in the early 90s. React to WALKING IN MEMPHIS...please. Give Peter Gabriel's 'In Your Eyes' (SECRET WORLD LIVE) featuring late great Papa Wemba. It's from Gabriel's 'Secret World Live' concert film...the best way to experience that song,💃🕺🤗🤣
I love this song! I've felt like the Pretender for years now. So happy you finally reacted to this!
yes my man there was a lot of funk and soul going on in the 70's
Jackson Browne "Stay"...and oldie but a goodie...he does a great job with this song
The Load Out/ Stay. A truely great tribute.
Jamel... you’re the best man. That’s all I wanted to say.
youre my favorite reaction TH-camr :) blessings sent your way !!!!!
Now give a listen to "The Shape of a Heart" or "Boulevard".
Or bright baby blues!
Jackson Browne has an amazing catalog of songs.
The 70's and 80's was an explosion of great music. It's undeniable!!
So true,music was coming at us like a speeding train from all directions. Every day brought new songs from singing poets. Truly,the best of times.
@@markcosenza3274 Great time to be alive even with all the adversities. We are blessed.
Now you have to do "Stay/The Loadout", but the Live version.
I didn't even know there WAS a studio version!
