| Jackson Browne – I'm Alive Lyrics | 2 years ago |
| @[tristantallyho:40709] For A Dancer was for a friend who died in a fire. I think Shape Of A Heart came from the tragic loss you mentioned.\r\nAs mentioned by others on here, the I\'m Alive album appeared to be much more related to the break up from DH | |

| @[OTTAWASENATOR:40708] Like ishepstone previously, I\'m not sure I\'m Alive comes from that terrible situation. I thought it was from the DH break-up. | |
| Jackson Browne – Your Bright Baby Blues Lyrics | 7 years ago |
| @[woodenships:18517] I once heard Jackson Browne choosing favourite songs from his early years and one was the Beatles 'I Want To Hold Your Hand'. JB said that hearing the title he thought 'that's not what I want to do!', but then hearing the line 'when I touch you I feel happy' he really got it. | |

| I think the original Paul Simon solo version has that 'less happy' arrangement and works much better | |

The most beautiful lyrics perfectly arranged and played. I love this song. The piano & cello are heavenly. I think Lyle Lovett and Jackson Browne are masters of writing something deeply personal with a universal connection... |

I'm really sorry if this is going to be a sad note to all the above (very kind and truly lovely) comments, but when the album came out I sent a copy to my elder brother and when speaking of it shortly after he singled out After All as the song which he felt was exceptional. I hadn't really understood the song, or, at that time, my brother's feelings in connecting with it. Sadly things got terribly bad for him and the following year he took his life, on Valentines' Day. Although I had been a great fan of Dar's music for many years before, it is only since losing my brother, and remembering his words, that I have truly felt where the song comes from. It is exceptional. I'm sorry for any sadness and hope it is ok to add such a comment. Much love to all those fighting depression. Take care |
