Cowbell: Tonk Tonk Tonk

[@SROVNO1]

To anyone reading this while listening to this music, I know what you feel, you’re probably even crying right now, but whatever can happen to you is nothing compared to what you have accomplished and who you are. You are an amazing person and never let anyone make you feel otherwise. You might be having a bad time, but behind walls is always happiness. Have a great day/week/month/year and remember that nothing is worth loosing your life.

[@psychostellar1432]

Man nobody ever talks about it but those vocal harmonies were some of the best in existence 😁

[@jeffreyphillips4182]

The guitar riff in this song is one of the best in rock. Right up there with Eddie Van Halen's Eruption

[@Luka15875]

yes

[@wintermoon7003]

Yep, and I don't care for guitar riffs too much, at least not when they go on forever. But I'm also super picky about music in general. And despite that, I get goosebumps every time I listen to it. And the song in general. It invokes so much nostalgia and I really don't know why. It's weird.

[@DontCare-qj4ed]

this song is SOOO awe-inspiring..and continual- I like the way that the guitar just keeps going

[@jellyjackcheese]

A lot of people seem to read this song as Sad but I kinda don't see it that way I read as trying to help someone get over a traumatic loss kinda? Like, it's trying to comfort someone whose loved one is about to pass away. "Hey. Don't be afraid. Death is only natural. Sure, they're gonna be gone soon, and that's sad, but they'd want you to live your life."

[@FedericaPavani-id5zz]

$8.00 for as close as you can get to the stage, for a live concert. Hell yes we were lucky. Now the price to hear someone sing is ridiculous, as if it's a rare commodity. I refuse to pay over $100 to hear anyone sing the geriatric blues.

What everyone must remember is that death has no time when it is your time is going to come whether you want to or not God has known when you were going to be born and he has known when you're going to die so just accept the fact sometimes some people live very short lives sometimes people live very long lives it is up to God he's the only one that knows death has no time once again I say it❤
