Chorus:
Listen to the mandolin rain
Listen to the music on the lake
Oh, listen to my heart break every time she runs away
Oh, listen to the banjo wind
A sad song drifting low
Listen to the tears roll
Down my face as she turns to go

Old?? Bruce are you kidding me this song is a masterpiece!

[@Gylfi465]

Thank you.

And just keeps getting better!❤🥰❤️

Bruce Hornsby is a musical legend but sadly he's one of the most underrated singers from '80s

[@josemigrp]

I really agree, he's really fantastic!! One of the best ever!!

[@Ifyouonlyknewtruth]

Thumb up

[@maverick5066]

Couldn’t agree more!

[@davidnorris4946]

You are right

[@gerryglynn1953]

What an Amazing singer and songwriter

[@ellavaderknows]

If the drummer mouthed "Hi Mom" at 1:41 then that is one of the coolest things I've ever seen in a KZbin video

[@Apefather]

Amazing video! This song is dedicated to everyone who lost a loved one. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gITFeHqfiMpmiZo

[@beckyepelle2860]

He did 😊

[@kindnessasgreatasthesea1158]

he probably didn't, but rather said something to one of his co-players

[@ellavaderknows]

@@kindnessasgreatasthesea1158 I found out later (my original post was from 3 years ago) that his mother was indeed in the front row of this concert. It seems likely that he was saying "Hi Mom" to her.

[@bsbikes2115]

I was 6 years old in 1987. My girlfriend was born in 1987. We will be married soon. This song has echoed through my head for days at a time for the last 33 years. Im sure that, like everyone else, it touches me in just a certain way, a little different than the next listener. This song is a masterpiece. This rendition is emotion inspiring. I am so fortunate that this was recorded and distributed. Thank you, Bruce, and the Fine Men you play with.

[@backtoussrsoviet5694]

His sense of rhythm is unmatched. Live forever you are a legend

[@spankythemud]

Good point. He's a little early with his vocals which makes the song swing and feel so groovy.

[@seventhskin1]

I was just a boy when this song came out. I didn't understand anything about life, but somehow I understood this song. It has played inside of me my whole life as the most beautiful song ever. Thank you, Bruce.

[@ofdlttwo]

AMAZING! Bruce, I have been a committed fan from the late 80's. This "Jam" gave me chill's. So great to access to you. I will never forget at a concert at Wente Brothers Winery in Livermore Cal. I stood up from my chair to grab something and you thought I was trying to get your attention. Lucky me, you asked if I wanted you to play something, I asked for Swan Song in which you replied, "it's been a while", and you played it. Thank you for doing what you do. It's been so amazing to watch your growth and diversity over the years. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

[@jobje325]

This is such a great performance. Note how he quickly signs the drummer to take up some creative space over the ostinato at 5:45 and they immediately understand eachother.

[@johntredmond4989]

I agree with all said thank you Bruce and Band your definitely a big part of my life tyou

[@IR-yb1tb]

Bruce & Sonny seemed to have great on-stage relationship- inspiring each other musically & also joking around.

[@mattiasjonsson3214]

That glance @5:57! 😍

[@psalmer5690]

improvising live like any good jazzer. The band is used to it. expects it. You play a tune thousands of times you wanna leader who can do that.

[@elizabethlinsay9193]

Tom Walker: thank you. And the band is digging it. Free reign. (And I learned that he originally wrote it in a minor key but recomposed it in this major key because he didn't think it would get the same airplay in a minor key. I heard it in the minor and it's haunting. Brilliant! Never heard of that before.)

[@psalmer5690]

I saw someone else post that idea elsewhere but as far as I know it's not true. The minor version came from a collaboration with Ricky Skaggs in the 90s. Check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHmseWOZiKilaqc

[@nigeloneill5891]

This song came up in a random playlist I had on yesterday morning while waking into work. It straight away took me back to a place as a young teenager .. That was so simple, yet so happy and this song and it's sound was like a comfort blanket

[@billyidol2115]

Same. His song The Show Goes On, done for the movie backdraft, is probably one of my favorites right next to this one. I also have Across the River as my top three songs from Bruce. Oh wait! I forgot Every Little Kiss! .....umm.... and ----------😊

[@Namorah1]

Nuh uh, this will never be ''old'' Sir. You've been an integral part of our lives for so long, it brings back thousands of memories, but will never be old. Listening to the different versions over time is always a new experience💗

[@kayfi2001]

I listen to this song repeatedly.

[@PellyjellyMom]

My favorite song ever!!!! Can listen to it over and over. On best album ever 💕💕💕

[@mulaloram1]

Used to listen to this song in 1994 from my late brother music collection, it brings back beautiful memories we had together

[@michelleblake4516]

Once in a life time certain Soul's come together creating an unspeakable idea that will last in our mind's FOREVER! truly.....This is how I still fell after many yrs. have come n gone since I first heard this amazing piece of music! As Artist's we acknowledge Something far greater moves through us! I think there are some things that are meant 2 lift us into places beyond word's - I guess we could call it Creative Grace, I've seen It in a sunset even in the birth of my own children - Its a thing that Satisfy us deeper than any material thing could!

[@psalmer5690]

Saw him in the summer of 2019 in Dillon, Colorado at an outdoor amphitheatre beside a lake. He played this for the encore as it started to lightly rain. How does it get better than that? I knew in that moment I had to write a song about it. It’s called 1986 (or how Bruce Hornsby saved the 80’s)

[@Joseph.Gallardo]

Thanks for reuploading this masterpiece Bruce! This piece is pure art and this exact version is my personal favourite. From the way you did the choruses here to the incredibly groovy mandolin solo and the wild and genius outro with the full band, everything about this works perfectly!

[@terryworth7]

Bruce Hornsby is not underrated in this house. He is outasight. His whole band at this gig is, too. Partial to the drummer's work. Really a groove. No expert, so I don't know his name, but I will find it. Hey, if you like Hornsby go back 30-40 years and revisit HARRY CHAPIN (Better Place To Be). A great one, died obscenely young. Hornsby without bluesyness, but great songs. Hits, etc.
