Lyrics:
Anyone who's ever had a heart
Wouldn't turn around and break it
And anyone who's ever played a part
Wouldn't turn around and hate it
Sweet Jane, sweet Jane
Sweet, sweet Jane
You're waiting for Jimmy down in the alley
Waiting there for him to come back home
Waiting down on the corner
And thinking of ways to get back home
Sweet Jane, sweet Jane
Sweet, sweet Jane
Anyone who's ever had a dream
Anyone who's ever played a part
Anyone who's ever been lonely
And anyone who's ever split apart
Sweet Jane, sweet Jane
Sweet, sweet Jane
Heavenly wine and roses
Seem to whisper to me when you smile
Heavenly wine and roses
Seem to whisper to me when you smile
La la la la, la la la...
Sweet Jane
Sweet, sweet Jane

True, tho one car try: Real? Visceral? Ethereal? Soulful, graceful to a point of tears while maintaining composure by the same qualities? The more I've listened to them, the more I'm able to appreciate the beauty & greatness of these individuals through the brilliance of their bittersweet music. Perhaps what makes them so appealing & relatable to some is their music seems born of their own unique experience & struggle with life's familiar abyss of pain, human imperfection, frailty, & constant trial, which they've, nonetheless, overcome via sheer determination & will to succeed with the resulting extraordinarily blessed, unique artistic expression that is entirely their own. Some can't help but admire, champion the supreme underdog these cats truly are & so faithfully represent.

I operated the camera for both this video and Fast Car for director Matt Mahurin. Every couple of years I watch this one and it brings me right back to the shoot. Margo is so hauntingly beautiful and has the voice of an angel, and the music is so perfect, subtle yet has such a powerful quiet build. I wish I had access to all of the footage because we did entire takes in close up, slowly dollying as Matt waved a light around to create his signature lighting style...I'd love to see those performances. I've worked thousands of days in this business since then, but that is one day I will never forget.

I was at a summer concert in Winter Park CO and I was walking around with a cool Cowboy Junkies T-shirt (brown t-shirt with big white block letters that said: COWBOY JUNKIES) on and a woman said "All right, a Cowboy Junkies fan." I turned around and I realized it was Margo the singer from Cowboy Junkies. I was like: "I am totally a Cowboy Junkies fan." She was happy that I knew who the band was because they were just getting national attention. She was just so casually naturally beautiful and friendly. I felt so good just standing next to her talking with her. And later on when the band took the stage they were most excellent.

[@gabehunter1502]

I know this song from the film, Natural Born Killers. I grew up to this film, (don't judge me) is incredibly surreal and abstract. Written by Tarantino, actually about the mass murderer Starkweather and his girlfriend. Quentin has secretly been obsessed with this story(knowing the story and knowing his films will make that evident), but is also the first time woody Harrelson played a dark role. The reason the director picked woody is because of woody's past; the fact he grew up being raised by a father who made his money by being a hitman. Imagine that. The greatest stories are the ones never told... just hinted on by little remarks that go unnoticed. Like gems inside geods that go unbroken for thousands of years.

It was tough to get moving in the morning but remember you're not alone. Some of us can empathize. Living in a haunted house made me realize that we don't have souls. WE ARE SOULS that travel in bodies like drivers in cars. That's not a joke. It was real. A foot on the gas pedal and a full tank of gas are a combination of motivation and ambition. Your tank is nearly empty but it will get refilled. The brakes are your self-control and the rear view mirror contains memories of what you've been through. The windshield is how we view situations we approach. Going through some nasty puddles can alter one's view of the world. Good wipers and enough fluid are like spiritual cleansing. Where the road ahead diverges are the choices we can make.

Is crusty clown the coolest name ever or what?

[@JohnCacic]

shut up a swallow .......punk band????

[@old8235]

"Drunks with guns" is cool too.

[@Undercoverbrotherfromanother]

No. If you like this , try Maria McKee and Lone Justice. Much better.

[@jeffstacho]

'Ninja Junkies' is even cooler. -Matter of fact, it's so damn cool that even tho I can't sing worth a shit nor play a single instrument, I'm inspired to start my own band anyway, just so I CAN NAME IT THAT.

[@occultikk7587]

It's like someone right next to you that you love cant hear a word you say nor hear your vibes. Loneliness, sadness and disappointment. It is as if you are both in a different world.

[@redshirt1917]

This recording brings tears to my eyes and a lump in my throat AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHY.

[@claudebutler9819]

It makes me cry cuz it makes me feel the young girl innocence, and the innocence of love.. I cry every time, such an emotionally evoking song

[@miserywhip88]

Crying right now.....sometimes happiness can make you cry....wait, that's another good one!

[@littlebirdlife2389]

In the late 90's I happened to be driving by a music venue in Michigan that you guys were about to start playing and I stopped and bought a ticket. It's still my favorite concert I've ever been to. :) I'm glad this showed up in my feed.

[@yoremove7165]

even Lou Reed said this was the best version of his song that he had ever heard.

[@scottcheely7553]

Driving a dark highway east of Dallas during the summer of 93, late at night with Trinity Sessions playing! Needless to say, surreal!

[@70Slinger]

I'm a lot older now than when this song came out. Had the love of my life during this time. Wish I could go back.

[@jamesreney2210]

Her singing, even the guy, Lou Reed, who wrote it, his jaw would drop in awe !

[@rynolascavio3381]

In a sweet and kinda quiet way, this song has always been a backbone of the 90's.

I love this song. That beat is easy & steady. The country-folk-rock stuff from the 90s was excellent.

This is what happens when you get a bunch of great musicians together whose resting heart rate is like 39. Love it.

I would have loved to have heard Hope and Mazzy Star perform their own version of this song, but the Cowboy Junkies had already covered it perfectly

[@thunderkiss80]

This version always reminded me of Fade Into You.

[@francoharefield9186]

As much as I love Hope & Mazzy Star I’m not sure they could have done a better job on this song … it’s perfect as it is.

Not possible. There would never be any originals. I think that even Lou Reed thought that this was better than the original.

No wonder Lou himself said this was the best version ever absolutely beautiful

This song is bittersweet to me cuz my mom used to sing us this to sleep when our power went out or we went to bed hungry. I’m reminded of our hardships but hopeful for a new day.

[@jeffmcguffy8380]

This was my old college roommate and great friend Aaron's favorite band and song. The guy was an awesome human being, friendly to everyone, always happy, and had an innocent charm about him that lit up the room. He was on the water polo and swim team and was a trained lifeguard. Sadly he drowned trying to save a stranger who was drowning in a strong current in a river. It is really weird how several of my friends have died unexpectedly in accidents who were super happy and full of life while my most miserable friends are still around. It's like a cruel joke the universe places on people or maybe these people that died young are like dogs and give off enough shine and life to only be around for a little while while the others that live in misery have to redo their days over and over until they finally get it right.

When I went to the hospital to give birth to my first child my husband brought this album of cowboy junkies covers to play for me to help with relaxation since I was being induced and was in for 26 hrs of labor. Best part of my labor was sitting in my room Jacuzzi listening to Sweet Jane.

[@happyd1479]

I did not know why but I was mesmerized with this song. So, I bought two tickets for me and my girlfriend, my future wife, to go see them. First concert that we went to see in this country. My wife was fresh off the boat from Vietnam in 1999. The concert was in California, and what a memorable date for us.
