This song still makes me cry.

[@ewanmacfarlane9195]

Means you've a good heart..

[@ingridsuarez2153]

Me too even if the song it is not of my time i'm 28 years old , I feel that beautiful song so deep in my heart

[@kspocketngroove3973]

this song helped me thru some dark time after divorce, still gets me to this day but in a different way❤

[@31Alden]

A beautiful pairing.

[@jpbreeze]

I completely and utterly love Shawn Colvin. I always will.

[@davidcantrell5098]

Back in the early 90's I was distraught and depressed. This song always spoke to me....

[@kristinengman2701]

This was one of my favorite songs in high school. Shawn Colvin and Bruce are big talent. Just gorgeous! I’m seeing Shawn Friday!

[@philip2180parker]

I met Bruce back in NYC the very week of this broadcast, he did a concert on the docks, met him back stage , a really nice guy had time for the fans.

[@tonysaunders2137]

Beautiful song! Lovely amalgamation of talent! One of my favorites along with The Show Goes On! And of course we know that Shawn is a brilliant singer and songwriter as well! Love that there's only talent, no ego during the performance!

Never gets old….

[@richardterwilliger3863]

I’m a big Bruce fan and shocked I never heard this song until about two weeks ago. Absolutely beautiful. What a great duet. Incredibly moving.

[@starrymarimusic]

Ditto!

[@user-uc5si1mg5c]

Nobody believes you're a big fan of Bruce.

[@peterupfold1699]

Awesome, two brilliant artists, incredible performance. Wonderful memories.

[@wfoj21]

Why do I constantly feel this way? Great song - never seen any video to it before. Striking voice on Shawn - made me notice here in 1990,

[@danielhowe7362]

If this does not touch your soul and make you feel emotional, you have no soul.

[@theresabrinklepeters5554]

Amen brother

[@richardterwilliger3863]

Yes, couldn’t have said it any better. Thank you.

[@Nordraw]

one of the great songs ever.

[@DJCowboyGels]

...touches my soul...peace!

[@brenda-leeheathcote5530]

My favourite singer/songwriter of all time. One of my favourite songs, forever. I'm a singer/songwriter. My song, when I die, is a Bruce Hornsby song. Just love his music. (Your music, if you read this Bruce). Just beautiful. So heartfelt.

[@chriscollins7852]

Brenda-Lee Heathcote , i’m 50. I’ve been a fan forever. He’s amazing to me too.

[@GDG123ful]

this song pierces my soul... sung so beautifully

[@P2Psolved]

I went to a songwriting workshop years ago and Bruce's manager was there. He said the record companies all "passed" on signing BH because they had "concerns" about his hair!

[@markbrownner6565]

wow a very young shawn from the days when she added harmony to others tunes and this was about the time of her breakthrough album 'steady on' which is now a classic.....

[@done1675]

I saw Bruce with Shawn this week in 1990. I also saw Bruce with the Grateful Dead the same week. They are both brilliant.

[@nonosong1964]

Bruce a musical genius, awesome voice !!! what a talent !!! I'm fan

[@davegriffmusic]

Stunning

[@musicismagic3001]

I feel like this every day of my life. I am so grateful you gave me the words and validation. I thank you more than I have words to say.💕

[@davidcantrell5098]

Best song on that album...

[@richardterwilliger3863]

Yes, and it figures I just found it 2 weeks ago - only took me 30 year+!

[@brademerick9181]

It's the reason I searched for and bought the album .

[@tonysaunders2137]

I was just thinking that, as I was reading your comment in real time! Definitely the best song on that album!

[@davidortiz4492]

I love this song!!! A great artist!!

[@billrowe1839]

Have seen Shawn colvin live 5 times and she's amazing. Great song here, thanks for the post!

[@garylight1338]

phenominal voices.

[@helenstorms9040]

What a beautiful but hauntingly sad and depressing song. It makes me thinks of many of the homeless in our shelters.

[@graemefarquharson465]

It's not depressing at all.

[@jamesibz]

Love this song

[@seanganesh421]

Beautiful...

[@britonkraemer7344]

The amazing thing is, I've seen both of these artists live!!

[@lisamchale4948]

I saw them both with Bonnie Raitt and Jackson Browne!

[@britonkraemer7344]

Who are the 5 jerks who gave a thumbs down? Are you kidding??!!

Very, Very, Very beautiful! ❤️💓❤️👌👍🎶🙏🔥

[@ewanmacfarlane9195]

There was one day I can remember..............

[@jws1272]

I still think of myself as the Lost Soul in this song...........I matter to NO ONE!!!!!

[@timmarciniak4388]

Brilliant performance

[@MrDickycampilongo]

george marinelli: how important you are to the band,you have that feeling that not everyone has.

[@docj8417]

I heard this for the first time today on Pandora. Went straight to Itunes. I hate to say this but, they don't make records like this anymore.

[@Nordraw]

Don't hate to say the truth dude.

[@CP5699]

I agree. Don't be afraid to speak the truth.

[@keithf5640]

Thank you SO much for this video…I love it

[@ericmcgrath9472]

Shawn Colvin is great in her own right as I messaged her on Facebook and saw that she read it but didn't respond. That's okay as long as she got my message.

[@michaelprideaux5096]

Simply a classic. 'nuff said.

[@Subo23]

Always beautiful. On a side note, always forget how tall Bruce is…a few inches taller than Dave, not a short man himself

[@hoggeboris]

❤❤

[@jonaanensen4547]

Am I the only one who noticed Shawn didn't sing this part: There was one day oh I can remember He sat alone with a pencil in his hand All day long he drew careful on the paper In the end just a picture of a man An important part of the lyrics!

[@stevencochran5301]

I pro-lived as the messenger of this song: an exertion.

[@ericponce8740]

If one does not like this song, well, may be that person is a lost soul after all.

[@leonardvancottjr.2102]

@ Don Giller, Don are you a fan of commuter walking videos such as ActionKid or TheWalkingCommuter( Gabe) on You Tube ? Your icon looks very familiar to me and I wonder if on the above's Livestreams you were commenting there on their video's live chats?

[@dongiller]

Honestly never heard of them.

[@STD1220]

4:31 MST - at least this song doesn't sound like some dance club hit song wish list written by committee.

[@fowchiiiliedpuppiesdied]

Um, perhaps Bruce should have given the entire vocal performance, over to the true vocalist, Shawn. He can just play the piano; write the song, etc.

[@dongiller]

Um, maybe it’s ok as is.

Very faint idling.
