OMG, Jackson Browne! So many numbers I could recommend. "Tender is the Night", "Something Fine", "Rock Me On the Water", "Running on Empty", "The Pretender", "Looking East"--I could do a lot more. It's wonderful that you're checking Jackson out. He truly is an exceptional songwriting talent.
Yes he is. Great artist.
You’ll never find a more beautiful reflection on life and death than Jackson Browne’s “For a Dancer.”
Oh my!!! Love Jackson Brown.
Forgot the e on brown my bad.
Jackson just came out with a new album, and recently released the single "My Cleveland Heart". He is probably one of the most brilliant singer songwriters around. As a matter of fact he wrote the Eagles song "Take It Easy", which was a huge hit for them. You should also check out his songs "Doctor My Eyes" and "Late For The Sky".
Agree
Actually Jackson co-wrote Take It Easy with Glenn Frey when they lived in the same apartment complex and Glenn was always after him to finish writing it. So he gave it to Glenn to finish and they share writing credits and as they say the rest is history. Frey wrote the Winslow, Arizona verse.
Late for the Sky!! Yes. But one of my favorites is Sky Blue and Black. It’s astonishing.
I dearly hope this leads to you to listen to more Jackson Browne soon. "Rock Me On the Water," "Before the Deluge," and "The Pretender" are brilliant early/mid-70s songs, and I think you'd love his live recording of "The Load-Out/Stay".
So happy you're finally discovering Jackson Browne - he's such a great songwriter! Jackson's lyrics are so personal, poignant and heartfelt that you can't help but feel something. He's in the Rock 'n Roll Hall of fame having written dozens of hits, so it's surprising that you'd start with this one - fans will love it; most non-fans will probably never have heard it.
If you want to hear a different side of him, among his most popular songs are Doctor My Eyes, Running on Empty, or The Pretender. They're all more upbeat, and were big hits, but still have brilliant lyrics.
Arguably his greatest song (or at least a huge fan favorite) is Late for the Sky - a gorgeous song about a breakup from the album of the same name - generally regarded by his fans as his greatest album.
Late For The Sky may be my favorite of his albums, although it's generally pretty depressing. The first song I heard from it, "Fountain Of Sorrow", may still be the one I like best, mainly for his clever wordplay but also because it's less dirge-like than most of the album. But "For A Dancer" is as fine an elegy for a departed friend/lover/family member as there is.
Thanks for doing this reaction Daniel…Jackson Browne was so very instrumental to who I was becoming in my early 20’s and has remained a touchstone to my inner self all these many years beyond. His whole songbook is worth a listen, one of my favorites being “Late for the Sky”.
The entire Late for the Sky album is amazing. Such an important album in my life.
Amen to that
enjoyed watching your reaction - Jackson is my favorite singer/songwriter - he is a lyrical master - I grew up listening to his songs - each hits a different part of life. he is incredible. I have shared his music with my kids who are now young adults -really loved seeing this!!
" The Pretender " or the afore mentioned " Doctor My Eyes" both have great lyrics you can chew on Jackson Browne is quite the poet We Are Legion ✌️♥️
So many fine songs by this artist. This is different than what I'm used to by him. He tells quite a tale here. The beauty of the violin is perfect for the mood of the song. Moving and soul stirring.
Daniel, glad you finally got around to Jackson Browne, he is part of the 1970s Southern California music scene (Eagles, CS&N, Neil Young, Linda Ronstadt). He produced some Warren Zevon albums and toured with him(billed as The Pretender and the Offender). You should check out some stuff from the Pretender (1976) especially the title cut. Here Come Those Tears Again from The Pretender and In The Shape Of A Heart from Lives In The Balance(1986) are emotional songs like the one you just did and deal with even a more personal subject. There are also some political songs about US/Central America on Lives In The Balance. Most of his earlier stuff is worth checking out.
Do yourself a favor: listen to his second album, For Everyman. Gorgeous. Every song a gem. React or not, your heart and head will be moved very deeply. Browne is an amazing songwriter, poet and melody. He has a lovely voice. His first four albums ... oh oh oh...
Daniel you should sample or listen to "For a Dancer" from Jacksone Browne That song got me through a difficult time dealing with a personal loss
SOOOO excited to see you finally encounter Jackson!! For a Dancer is also sad but ends with a beautiful affirmation of life. Anything Can Happen is about choosing to love in uncertain times. Before the Deluge is a gorgeous depiction of the moment the peace and love of the 60s flower children was co-opted by the violent protests of the antiwar movement.
I have been waiting a very long time for you to listen to this song and have suggested it many times. I'm very happy you finally "heard the call" to become acquainted with Jackson Browne. While he has had a successful songwriting and performing career, he never became a megastar. But I believe he is one of the greatest of all American songwriters and that this particular song is a monumental achievement in songwriting. Simple, heartfelt and profound, it takes no prisoners. The passage of time has not diminished it's ability to deliver an emotional gut punch. I first heard this song more than three decades ago and it is lodged in my consciousness in a way that no other song has ever achieved. It is so personal and spiritual, it's off the scale. Thank you for listening to it Daniel. Your reaction was EXACTLY what I expected because I know you even though we've never met. I would also recommend THE PRETENDER and FOUNTAIN OF SORROW by Jackson Browne. John (TRUE FILM FAN).
Unbelievable I haven’t heard this and it’s on the same album as Doctor My Eyes. I’ve lost 50 years of not hearing this. Thanks for the tune.
Been playing this song for fifty years.Been living it even longer. It's about the journey, not the destination. Peace.
Sounds very Hermann Hesse inspired. Most of his stories involved one's journey through Life, and how one perceives it. I had a friend like Adam, and even in our closest moments, I did not know him well. Our journeys diverged, and in the end, I was surprisingly stronger, though he was far more talented and capable. The Bus of Life.
First listen for me. Thanks. Nice job on the reaction. Enjoyed sharing the experience with you.
Doctor my eyes; Before the deluge; Fountain of sorrow; For a dancer... Amazing artist, incredible writer. All worthy of a listen.
Beautiful song. Jackson lost his friend in 1968, but later on many people died this way due to taking PCP which gave it the nickname "Angel Dust." Probably his best known hits are The Pretender and Running on Empty. JB is an excellent lyricist.
I didn't have high hopes for Adam when the song was dedicated to him. Jackson Browne has written so many well known and and well crafted songs. I had never heard nor heard of this one, and yet it did not surprise me at all. It is consistent with what I had heard from him even though it really doesn't sound like the other songs. He's so versatile and the common thread in his music is the captivating storytelling. That and that voice. There are many more songs of his for you to discover that I know, and I'm sure there are even more I don't know.
So glad you are reacting to Jackson Browne. He is one of the best.
Please take a look at Warren Zevon. Another genius songwriter/singer from the same era. He paints a detailed picture with few words and beautiful music. My favorites (out of hundreds) are: Carmelita; Poor, Poor Pitiful Me; Lawyers, Guns, and Money; Frank and Jesse James.
Please don't skip this one. He's great.
I first heard that song when the album came out, when I was also young, and its meaning has only deepened as I have aged.
The older you get this song becomes more powerful. I just turned sixty and I find out about friends that have passed and it brings your own mortality into focus and to wonder what kind of impact you will leave when your gone . Will it be just another day or will it really matter to anyone.
Yeah, sobering realizations, no doubt. I turn 63 in December. My older brother died 2 years ago. Parents are gone. A younger brother is now gone too. Life & time is far more precious than most realize. What opportunities we have we must cherish and be most grateful and respectful of. Or you’ll regrets and sorrows too hard to bear.
What I wouldn't give to be in your shoes, young and inexperienced and about to hear a master for the first time. You couldn't have picked a more poignant song. An entire new world has opened up to you. Welcome to masterful artistry, there are many many more for you to listen in amazement to.
Interesting choice for your first song by Jackson.
I’d suggest ‘For a Dancer’ as a good follow up. For something a bit livelier, try ‘Take It Easy’, ‘Doctor My Eyes’ or ‘Running On Empty’
This is such a beautiful song. Browne writes with such depth.
I was fortunate to see him when he was young (77') and full of energy - so much that they played four encores ! This song climaxed that great show, leaving us all feeling so mellow and fulfilled. He wrote a fine lost love song "Shape of a Heart" that's a bit pop, but really good.
I'm glad you discovered Jackson! He is an amazing poet and his voice just hits you in your feels! By the way, he's known for his use of beautiful metaphors, which take the ordinary experiences of life to somewhere deeper and dreamlike. He's so honest and so giving about our shared human existence.
Jackson Brown is a genius, have loved him and his music.
For at least 50 yrs, was lucky enough to meet him
So good to see this one again after so long. What a great song you must get back to him and to Joni blue so many of us are waiting love you
Thank you, Daniel
A stellar cast on this recording. Albert Lee, Leland Sklar, the amazing David Lindley and some famous artists doing back-up vocals.
Once you “Go” Jackson Browne, there’s no turning back. He is The quintessential lyricist of the 70s with his greatness continuing for next twenty years.
Caveat that as the great lyricist SINCE the 70’s. His accomplishments has not ever stopped.
Its a message to many whom suffer from depression.
1st time I've heard this as well. An amazing piece of music
The song is a timeless dirge. No need to talk about it, it just goes into you.
Oh Daniel, you are so in for a treat if you continue to explore Jackson Browne. Consistently one of our finest songwriters since he was a teen in the 60's May I suggest a song of his called The Deluge. Jacksons writing is so full of meaningful words
The Deluge is an anthem.
Love Jackson Browne. Take it Easy and Running on Empty are great songs.
"These Days" is a song he wrote at age 16 that shows the maturity of an older man. "The Pretender," to me, is a rejection not only of materialistic values but the forever striving to "be a success." "Here Come Those Tears Again" was cowritten with his former mother-in-law after his wife committed suicide with barbiturates. He has written many great songs, often with thoughtful and thought-provoking lyrics.
Ran across your channel while rummaging around in TH-cam and see you are discovering one of my favorite singer/songwriters from my youth, Jackson Browne (I was fortunate enough to hear him live when we were both in our twenties). Two of my top-10 JB songs are "Fountain of Sorrow" and "Sky Blue and Black." Both have deep lyrics. Check them out if you have a few spare moments.
Yes! Sky Blue & Black is incredible! It has the best definition of what true love is that I’ve ever come across.
Jackson Browne is old school and deep... running on empty, doctor my eyes, omg...so many. 🤟
Hugs my friend. I could tell you were moved by him, I was too, even after all theses years since my first hearing his music. Thank you for your kind review and your sincere appreciation of Browne as songwriter. I hadn’t known the backstory to the song, thank you for that as well. Best wishes. Take care. ✌️
I think you are one of the few reactors who could do a good reaction to Laurie Anderson - O Superman. I would love to see how you interpret that song.
Love that crazy album 😀
Oh my...
I will say that could be quite the challenge.
@@IllumeEltanin I think he's up to the task.
Wonderful song wonderful 70s artist Jackson Browne Hope you love love you
Great Artist ! Great Music !!
One of my favorite singers from that era. His biggest hits are still to be done!
Yeah there just isn’t anyone really like him today, so sad.
I would recommend his song Load out/stay it was written as a thank you to his fans and his road crew
Hawkwind - Black Corridor/Space Is Deep
Hawkwind - Seven by Seven (Live) (2007 Remaster)
Hawkwind - Space Symphony
Hawkwind - A Minor Jam Session
Hawkwind - Spiral Galaxy 28948
Hawkwind - Adjust Me
Hawkwind - Fable of a Failed Race
Hawkwind - Space Chase
Hawkwind - Levitation
Beautiful song, Jackson Browne is a wonderful singer songwriter. Lots of good stuff to check out from him.
I'm surprised this is your first listen to a great artist. He was huge in the mid to late '70s early '80s. Two of his biggest hits from that era were Running on Empty and The Pretender, both excellent. You mentioned Doctor My Eyes, w3hich was also big. My favorite was a live version of The Load Out and Stay, done almost as one song..
Jackson Brown is awesome in concert. He talks about how certain songs came to be. He also talks about songs and collaborations with others. Can’t go wrong with this one! Magic.
I lost my best friend last year and when i hear this song it takes to the room with but one candle to lite the way . This song says it so well beautiful in verse and music Jackson is brillant .
I'm glad you got around to Jackson. He has an enormous catalog of music including rock, reggae, love, country, disco, and humor. He is one of the most influential musician/poets from the golden days. Discovered by Linda Ronstadt, his music friends and acquaintances include The Eagles, Crosby, Stills, Nash, Young, Duane and Greg Allman, Stevie Ray, Los Lonely Boys, Bruce Springsteen, Elton John, and many others.His accolades are enormous. BTW when Jackson writes, his poetry is not what it reads. He speaks in double entandres and metaphors. You gotta look deep for the meanings. Look up the song Rosie! Daniel my man...more Jackson please.
Check out his song THESE DAYS. Still shocks me that he wrote that song at the age of 16. Also love his song THE PRETENDER.
Beautiful song and deep lyrics. This kind of music is both timeless and universal - poets with a guitar (or piano or something else) are still present with old songs, some of these artists from the 70ies are still around. And there are always new singer/songwriters, maybe a bit different in their style of music, but recognisable nonetheless - not only in the US/English speaking countries, but it seems they are all over the world singing in all languages (well, probably not "all", but many). Seems to be a human thing to sit down and sing a story.
Check out the pretender.
Love Jackson Browne's work. would strongly recommend one of his lesser know songs "Your Bright Baby Blues" which i think has brilliant lyrics (the live performance with the members of Little Feat at the Lowell George tribute concert perhaps) and also "The Load Out/Stay", another great track from a huge songbook. A true songwriter.
Ahhhhh, yes, JB. Such a great songwriter. Hope you go into the rabbit hole. Would love to see you react to “These Days” (written when he was 16)!!!
It’s ok to cry dude- I do every time I hear his early works.
There's a line in a famous short story, something like 'he was laughing but not like he was happy...'
running on empty, the load out/stay...omg jackson browne is awesome man
I resubscribed when I saw you did this. Please react to IN THE SHAPE OF A HEART.
Jackson Browne is a fantastic writer, singer and musician. Though he seems to have semi-retired many years ago, he continues to perform, most often in smaller venues. His music is so wonderful you really must listen to more and perhaps even do a full album. Thank you for reacting to this beautiful song.
He just released a new album and is touring, FYI.
Formed in 1969, Hawkwind are a prolific and pioneering space-rock group from the UK.
Hawkwind The Forge Of Vulcan th-cam.com/video/0Gn8v2I62Ao/w-d-xo.html
This is a piece of music called The Forge Of Vulcan by Hawkwind from the Quark Strangeness and Charm album. It is set to various footage from the development of the atom bomb. The theme is a build up from inception to detonation but not specifically correct.
"Doctor My Eyes" was the logical place to start. It's one of the most famous songs in rock history. His band included the legendary Lee Sklar and Russ Kunkel as the rhythm section, a gorgeous guitar solo from Jesse Ed Davis and backing vocals from Nasby & Crosh, er, I mean Crosby & Nash. A true classic in every sense of the word.
But Jackson has a million of them including his brand spanking new "Downhill From Everywhere." And, oh yeah, he's another one you want to do full albums for, especially that debut you were just looking at!
Guess we're all very different. I thought it was the weakest song on the album and imv is far from representative of Browne's work.
I knew Jackson Browne would be right in your sweet spot, as far as singer-songwriters go. There's a certain thoughtfulness in all his songs - and each song seems to have that turning point - the line or three where you say "Wow." A real poet.
(we won't think less of you when you visibly sink at the words "my friend was dead"). (I still do after 40 years of hearing this sing)
There's a whole lot of Jackson Browne tunes worth exploring. Try "These Days". It was written when Browne was 16 years old. The fact that a 16 years old could write something like this from the perspective of a much older world-worn person is unbelieveable.
And Browne did not publish his singing These Days for years!
He gave it to Nico (Velvet Underground; and his girlfriend for awhile) who recorded it in 1967. Then the Allman Brothers sang it often live, with Greg Allman making some changes. Jackson hung out with the band and was friends with Greg. The Allman Brothers and Browne both released the song (on albums) within a short time of each other and Jackson sang and recorded Greg’s version. 1973! After Nico recorded it, it was recorded by other people and bands. After Browne and Allman Brothers recorded their versions, many more people and bands recorded it.
For such a painful song of loss and regret, it’s hard to imagine a 16-year-old was capable of feeling that deeply and capturing it in such beautiful words.
He’s one of my favorite songwriters: when I was your age, Daniel, and into my college years.
Depressing, moving, all the elements that hit hard when you are young and growing and learning.
He still sounds the same, he still sings. He posts on Instagram.
And boy was he cute! He is still a handsome man.
These Days is a classic. Daniel, you Must listen to it. Browne released it on his second album, For Everyman, which is incredible. Every song a gem.
Please please please: even if you don’t react to it, please listen to that album. Trust me, you will love it, and you will love Browne.
Yes, "Late for the sky" is one of my favourite albums, no matter genre; personal and wonderful songs, with heartbreakingly lovely guitar/slide/fiddle-work by David Lindley
“Still it seems he stopped his singing in the middle of his song”
“So free of fear, we never thought that one of us might fall”
“And when I stood myself beside him, I never thought I was as strong”
In the last twelve years, I’ve lost my younger (and closest) brother, my ex-fiancee/still friend, and my best pal from middle/high school to suicide.
That line about the unfinished song describes all three of them: beautiful unfinished songs that would have been all the more beautiful, if not for the cacophony of abuse that played loudly and harshly on two of them, and the bipolar disorder that wouldn’t respond to medication and took the third of them.
They all projected great strength, at least some of the time, but two were walking with unhealed wounds, and one lost a bio-chemical roll of the dice.
The candles and our songs fade away so quickly. I wish our candles and songs could have slowly, softly faded together.
Vince, I am sorry for your losses. The words of this song do seem to "live" outside of the song, they are packed with meaningful metaphors.
This isn't one of his most popular songs, but it is one of his most moving. Other comments here mention many of his great songs, but try Fountain of Sorrow, Shape of a Heart, These Days, and Lawless Avenues... and maybe The Naked Ride Home, lol. And The Rebel Jesus, you might like, too.
My favorite song of his is Before the Deluge. It's an anthem of the Woodstock generation, at least it is in my mind. It contains one verse for each phase our generation went through to bring us to where we are today---a battle with our own destruction of the environment leaving us in an existential crisis. Jackson himself currently lives off the grid, produces his own energy, grows a great deal of his own food, etc. He's am extremely advanced thinker and doer. Few mention it, but he's a master guitarist. You will come to love him.
For a Dancer off the Late for the Sky album is a must listen. The use of a dancer as a metaphor for the process of life and learning.
Sad, Jackson's such an empath!
Yes, Id suggest Late For The Sky. The whole album is great. The song Late For The Sky puts the listener in the early morning hours when daytime reveals what night hides.
"Song For Adam" is just too damn painful for me to listen to tbh. I learned the song long ago but never could perform it. To close to home.
One of the most beautiful songs ever concerning the subject though.
One of the great American singer-songwriter, poets, of the classic rock era. Check out "The Pretender" from the album of the same name.
I saw your video about listening to entire albums. This album was my first thought. His Late for the sky is another.
This is a song you should listen to and just feel. The truth doesn't matter. It is about what it makes you feel and what you think about (IMHO)
You should do full album review of For Everyman or Late for the Sky.
Great reaction video, thank you. You could consider doing “Looking into You” as far as another song from the same album, it’s another poignant story with some incredibly profound lyrics. Take for example how he ended or closed out his story, coming to this remarkable conclusion - Like a startling realization in his life that will change him forever and that which many others can/will relate to -
“Oh the great song traveler passed through here and he opened my eyes to the view, and I was among those who called him a prophet and I asked him what was true.
Until the distance had shown, how the road remains alone, now I'm looking in my life
for a truth that is my own.
Well I looked into the sky for my anthem
And the words and the music came through
But words and music will never touch the beauty that I've seen -
looking into you -
and that's true. “
Now that’s something above & beyond what you’d hear everyday. It’s worthy of remembrance, to hold dear in heart & mind for a very long time to come, waiting for that one person to come into your life where such an imprint can earnestly, passionately, be relayed unto them with all your heart, might, mind & soul, knowing that will be the greatest hallmark and uttermost pinnacle of your life, where sadly, many may not even ever achieve (or find), but strive for nevertheless.
Love your channel so much. Love Jackson Browne. Please react to 'Doctor My Eyes' Great lyrics and musically will knock your socks off.
Great singer songwriter. Stay in this lane. Paul Simon's "American Tune" from "There Goes Rhymin' Simon" not to be confused with "America" from Simon and Garfunkel lol. Also from solo Simon: Leaves that are Green, Duncan, Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard, Kodachrome, Late in the Evening...really you can't go wrong with anything this artist wrote.
From Silver Lake is another beauty from this album, and Looking Into You. This and Late For The Sky are my favorites from Jackson Browne who carved a deep creative path as an American Indian performer. Only Robbie Robertson did as much as Browne to hold a torch for native poets in a white man’s world.
Neil Young was also a noteworthy contributor, a sincere, stalwart friend, though not a blood relation, a true friend to native Americans through & through.
And Jackson will never block you.
A great writer. Many good ones, a few to react to would be The Pretender,Runnin’ On Empty,Before The Deluge,, And Fountain of Sorrow! Great tunes with deep meaning!
'The Load/Stay' live s a great choice!
This is a fun song to play. It's in A minor and the hook is Am to Am7
Jackson Browne wrote deep introspective lyrics in his first 4 albums. You have sampled a song from the first album, Saturate Before Using. According to Bruce Springsteen (and me) when Bruce gave the induction speech when Jackson was inducted into the rock hall of fame, Jackson's 3rd album, Late For The Sky, is his masterpiece.
Jackson and Joni Mitchell are my 2 favorite singer/songwriters from the 70s (competition is deep with Dylan, Lightfoot, Neil Young, Carly Simon, etc) Interestingly, Jackson and Joni had a relationship that resulted in songs from both. Some of the songs from Late For the Sky are thought to be written about his breakup with Joni, but nothing for certain on that score.
And there's tons of Warren Zevon you should do as well. Jackson is responsible for the world knowing him, producing his Asylum Records debut and "Excitable Boy."
Go see him!
Ex-wife said a thousand times "how can you listen to that depressing music"!?
Me too. I guess that in part is what makes them ex-wives, lol ( how they just don’t get it). “Depressing”? Oh brother. Not even. She needs to take a class. Numbered 101.
If you’re interested in discovering more singer-songwriters I highly recommend Nick Drake. He’s not well known although he’s inspired many artists of today. His lyrics are pure poetry and his finger picking style is amazing. I promise you won’t be disappointed! Maybe do an album review, his songs are short and sweet
You've got to take a look at "the Pretender" and "Running on Empty".
The great Lee Sklar on bass.
kiki dee does a great job on this song accompanied by elton john's band!!
Played that 8-track to death, then the album.
Listen to “ Late For the Sky “. By Jackson Browne . Excellent song my favorite.
A song if you havent heard before that would be a great song for this channels emphasis is "Jesus Etc" by Wilco.
Loveliest violin youll ever hear. And one of the best songs of the early 00's.
You might like Blood Bank by Bon Iver.
Where to begin?
