I am glad to know I am not rhe only one who cried hearing this song. I thought about the people I have lost during the pandemic, my friends that passed through the years and trying to cope with my own struggles over the past few years. Here's to what I hope is a better 2022 for us all.

[@nolebuc1]

This song came on my Spotify feed today. I hadn't heard it in years. I instantly broke down in tears thinking of my Dad I lost in 2018. Beautiful song!

[@anntrent5682]

tears just started flowing. this was my song for my mother. I believe she would love this folksy version. music heals the soul

[@ryanjacob6559]

Bruce Hornsby has always been an inspiration to Justin. Pretty evident in Beth/Rest and he mentions in some interviews. Must be an amazing feeling for him to work with Hornsby with his old band reunited. He's been a long long way

[@tmcmojo2292]

long live the Grateful Dead. thank you Bruce and DE.

[@davidmooreulster]

Silent Signs still remains one of my favourite albums to listen to before I go to sleep. So glad to see DeYarmond Edison back together and love this new material

[@MrFreshDonutz]

Well done. The boys deserve these treatments their tunes are getting. Just love it. Bruce and DE this is like a home movie/scrapbook.

[@ninathomas3787]

This is beautiful, so many emotions and memories come with this.. gives me goosebumps, such a beautifully reminiscent version of this song. Just wow..

[@michaelsullivan2519]

Bruce always does an amazing job with this tune. thank you Bruce and DE

[@ColumbusMHC]

So colourful and rich. You can really feel the intimacy of every single element here.

[@jeffreyblevins4234]

There are a statistically significant number of people on this planet who are unable to have an emotional response to music; I feel so lucky to not fit into that category. I would never want to listen to this song and not feel the pain, the joy, the hopefulness, and the loss it communicates.

Another great lyric by Robert Hunter...

[@dwt56]

what a memory rush.....sneakin in the back door of William and Mary Hall..just a little late ...sittin on the steps and watchin the Dead take flight...Bobby in the middle an Jerry on our right.......pretty peggy-o ....coming down the stairs....brushin back

[@dakotahraine9412]

Gave me chills

[@joanapinho155]

"... And I walk alone". So much vulnerability and power!

[@danadente7831]

Been there, there now, good days in between.

[@mongoarts]

Beautiful version!!

[@troyrieder5927]

Wow! Bruce and Justin. What an amazing duo.

[@walt4670]

The Irishness that people mention in Bruce's singing is also kin to the bluegrass roots of the song, like so many other Dead songs hailing from Garcia's banjo-loving sensibilities. Lends itself to so many ideas, there are gospel/spiritual elements to this cover, and the key and progression is such an uplifting one. The sampling and piano definitely flavor it with that contemplative psychedelia that any Dead head could love. Imagining it soundtracking a run in the mountains :).

[@KennethLancaster]

A great tribute to a great song.

[@snackpoodle2974]

Ah - brings shivers - sweet music.

[@TheImaGrizzlyBear]

this is all Justin's genius, can't you hear it in every tone, every sound, every instrument?

[@ThePooky77]

+Bear McKee No doubt - But Hornsby's no slouch either

[@maryt.franks5269]

Love Bruce!!❤️

[@SEAN1983PHEANIS]

Beautiful.

[@calikali2420]

What an AWESOME fuckin song!!! Great to hear another version... Sounds kind of "Irish-folk" Good job guys...

[@augustwest7120]

Lovin the vibes! Bravo Bruuuu!

[@EVParade]

Way to go Bruce, evocative cover.

[@sourcherry23]

So good.

[@MrBobbystyles]

Bruce makes it feel like Genesis , very nice .

[@Scumbox]

DeYarmond fucking Edison. It's been too long!

[@Noiiizeeey]

+Scumbox so Justin is singing on the entire album as DeYarmond Edison again?

[@PityPitMusic]

+NezihBouali Sadly no, they just did one song in this.

[@Noiiizeeey]

Shit. Well it is a great song.

[@PityPitMusic]

NezihBouali It really is! ^^

[@AMedda]

Amazing!

[@pepemolina]

un gran tema

[@calikali2420]

+Pepe Molina Uno de TANTOS de los maravillosos Grateful Dead... Las letras son increiblemente bellas si entiendes ingles...

[@user-kh5bo5ru3i]

Beautiful

[@ThomDammers]

Anyone here that knows how to achieve this particular effect in the video? I love it, so if anyone knows could you please tell or teach me? Or tell the name of the effect if there's a name for this effect

[@charl3782]

Hey Duncan

[@sparkymahoney4343]

I know the Dead and a lot of people love Bruce but he's just never done it for me. He's talented I'll grant, but to me he has all the soul of puddle.

[@Masoninblue]

One man's puddle is another man's soul.

[@JamesAWild]

Met him once at five in the morning @ O'hare. He was incredibly kind and graceful, even at that time in the morning.

[@highwaytothesun]

water is the lifeblood of the universe

[@flangelouder]

A man can drown in a puddle

[@Sunflower0122Z]

Thank God no accordion in this one Bruce.

[@calikali2420]

+Sunflower0122Z I WISH there were accordion. Such a mournful and beautiful instrument.

[@bagsofbeans]

Nooooo!!!!

[@Nordraw]

what the hell is wrong with the video

[@Sunflower0122Z]

+RC Ward It's called the 4AD influence :O Goggle a Cocteau Twins album cover. I find it brilliant.

[@Nordraw]

yeah well.............

Maybe there is a song better than this...maybe. I miss better music. - Bill McIntosh
