Bruce Hornsby End of the Innocence

beautiful solo version.

[@marcjones1139]

My dad (since died) used to play this in his lorry when he drove across Europe. Reminds me of us driving through the alps. Sweet sweet times 😢

[@ajaypalsinghbhatti8901]

Old is gold. Always

[@annacongiu1605]

The intro piano is the most emotional and that I've ever heard so far ... crosses the heart and is like falling in love for the first time. I love it

[@mercedeslb237]

Anna Congiu Je suis d'accord.

[@ahmedburhani1378]

You said the words right out my mouth, pure class!!

[@marcusgibraltar8517]

Very true and beautifully said.

[@willritter4076]

I'd be honored if some Bruce Hornsby fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of AGAINST ALL ODDS by Phil Collins and WALKING IN MEMPHIS by Marc Cohn on my YT channel in tribute to a couple of great piano pop standards from the 80s/90s. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Thanks and wishing everyone the best in the '020s.

[@YenaPrinskin]

I thought exactly the same

[@herbertmoller3824]

I will be forever a fan for Bruce Hornsby beautiful 😊 I am listening daily to his Song what means a lot to me

No words will ever do that intro any justice...plugged straight into the heart!

[@khayelihlentunzela7992]

I remember this song when I was 22yrs now I'm 56 when I and my brothers we use to enjoy this kind of music at home. They are all gone now 5 if them and my mother. May their souls rest in peace. I will forever miss them. The good memories they left me with are always making me smile and create good memories for my kids to cherish when I'm no more.

[@brentonwarncken1095]

Aw, you made me cry then saying that, your brothers and your mumma all passed now. 😢reading that and listening to Bruce sing this beautiful song along with his magic piano work, just threw me back for the day.. god Bless you, so sorry for your sad losses. ❤️

[@janetnelson8300]

This is such a good version. Bruce Hornsby is a genius on the piano.. he can literally make it talk. ! Don Henley made this song a hit but for me the star of this is Bruce and his magic fingers...

[@brentonwarncken1095]

Hit the nail right on the head. He is a pure genius…

Couldny have said it better myself.

It's from the live DVD/Video "A Night On The Town". This audio version was only available on a German CD single as a B Side. A very rare and beautiful version of this amazing song.

Genius isn't a big enough word to describe Bruce Hornsby's talent.

[@paradoxward2533]

It is only wonderful works of art like this that keep me from hating life, which I find, generally speaking, vulgar. Thanks for posting.

[@jcarc5701]

The way Bruce Hornsby creates tension towards the end of the intro and almost makes you beg him to resolve it is just heavenly.

[@fabioantonioli6300]

Makes shaving easier because the hairs stand up by themselves

Oh my god , the piano ,!!this was already my most beautiful song ever in my whole godamn life , sung by the DON HENLY ,then this ,nothing in my life musically will EVER top this ,Bruce you are the king......

Reminds me of early Springsteen, Lofgren and Jackson Brown, great songsmiths who put a tale across so beautifully.

Don Henley makes this song really work. A great collaberation of Henley and Hornsby for sure!

[@lyrimetacurl0]

Could be biased because the proper Don Henley one is still not on KZbin (and hasn't been for many years).

[@equesfuscus]

Bruce may not know how to help us retrieve our innocence, but he helps us know we have lost it, and that we should realize where we are.

[@audioartistmanila3683]

This performance came from the Bruce Hornsby & The Range - A Night On The Town DVD. Probably the best version of this song played by Bruce Hornsby & The Range along with the late Joe Henderson on saxophone. I have this DVD hidden somewhere inside my storage room.

Thanks for sharing this. I am a long term fan who plays his music every day for the last 35 years. I hadn't heard this version and it is absolutely superb. Need to find on MP3 if I can. Bruce is a musical genius.

[@stephenlivesey4188]

Join the club Robert , how come he is so under appreciated , the man put his music in my head 35 years ago and I'm still loving it ,and so is 1 of my kids , the other never got it !

[@evelynbaron2004]

There is something about the great keyboarders - Hornsby, Jackson Browne, Benmont Tench of the Heartbreakers -- that slays me. There's a brilliant cover of Mystic Eyes when Tom Petty, hors de soi-meme in hasty French turned to Tench in a dreamstate and said play the music, play the music, and he did.

[@IR-yb1tb]

@@stephenlivesey4188 He didn't want to be a popstar... didn't want to play the fame game... stubbornly insisting on being a musical virtuoso, on creativity & originality...I think he's brilliant & could listen all day long but lots didn't/don't like his refusal to regurgitate the same material, to perform a song the same way twice.

[@paulrburton]

Only just found this version of this tearjerker - just wonderful - 8 minutes of romantic, soulful heaven - thank you Bruce

This is the intro from Bruce Hornsby and the Range DVD end of innocence! I will never forget this! The amount of suspended/crushed chords is beautiful 👌

The End of the Innocence" is the lead single and title track from Don Henley's third solo studio album of the same name, released in 1989. Henley co-wrote and co-produced the song with Bruce Hornsby, who also performed piano; both artists perform the song live in their respective concerts..end of story...

Oh come on, what more can I say about this guy....I'm at a serious loss of words to describe how great a musician he is. I was sold in the 80's with him...now this rendition of a song he helped make nearly tops the original

[@johnm7459]

Words cannot express how much this mans music fills me with joy and emotion. In my opinion and whilst I love Elton and Billy of those alive today he is respectfully the best constantly changing and evolving. From the first time I saw him in London Hammersmith Oden 1988 given a ticket by a friend. The last with the noisemakers in my new home Charlotte NC 2018 Thanks for the music great man from a guy who’d never heard of you until one night in 1988 that became a life long admirer of your exceptional talent.

[@chriselrod1733]

love Bruce and Don...both tracks are great. Seems more powerful with the collaboration though.

[@rustyhguitar1]

I love how Bruce H does what I think of as the “Sinatra” thing - plays around a bit with the timing of the melody. Even with the accompaniment sometimes, as I heard in a great version of his once. I love both artists and their interpretations, each for different reasons. Henley of course as the lyricist conveys the words beautifully, and Hornsby’s instrumental work is sublime. Similarly, I love hearing JD Souther singing his songs, rough and ready as they are in his older years.
