Jackson Browne - These Days

Jackson Browne sings 'These Days' on accoustic guitar

[@charliesmith5862]

The 9th Symphony of my generation.

[@ericwoodruff5412]

Do not confront me with my failures.... I have not forgotten them. What aa powerful line

[@aphydgrimblekin1626]

"Don't confront me with my failures, I had not forgotten them." One of the most powerful lyrical lines I have ever heard.

[@LifelongDive]

This song is so fantastic. I can't believe I didn't discover it until recently. These days I actually feel very upbeat, but this song reminds me of my very downbeat roots.

[@celticwarrior4christ]

I am a Traumatic Brain Injury survivor and I will tell you this song means a great deal to me.The lyrics ring so true.I love this version and Greg Almans and now Glen Campbell is doing his version now on Glen's brand new cd.

For awhile, he lived in Orange County, CA, same time I did. He is a couple years older than me. In my late teens, I saw him more than a few times at The Troubador, The Mecca in Orange, The Golden Bear across from the pier in Huntington Beach, and probaly 15 other places over the last decades. We all have artists who shaped our lives, but I am profoundly fortunate that Jackson Browne first entered my life when I was 17, sitting in a three dollar seat, 10 feet away from him. Priceless!

"Please don't confront me with my failures...I have not forgotten them." Whew...

[@malcolmplatt3768]

Man aint that the truth. In my mind and dreams I'm still the young man whose heart was captured by this music in the 70's. One of the best concerts I ever saw was him with Bonnie Rait as a guest. That show cost me 6 bucks and there were two empty seats in the front row center stage, not the seats I bought, which were empty so me and my date took a chance and sat in them. No one showed up to claim them and for the evening it was as if he and Bonnie were singing to us and us alone as they were less than 20 away right in front of us. I was young and energetic with my whole world laid out in front of me. These days? Not so much but damn it was one hell of a ride.

[@Snakefinger1000]

Saw him in Sydney when I was 27 and right in the middle of "Call It A loan" some clown back stage pulled out a lead from an amp that must have been on eleven, you know the noise . All Jackson could say was "SHIT" a horrible moment that everyone there will remember.

[@MissDistarr]

The fact that Jackson Browne could move you to tears through his music is probably the best compliment you could ever give him. And the fact that you allowed yourself to cry despite what society thinks about a man shedding a tear, says a lot about you. It's something to be proud of......not ashamed of.

[@AmyStephen]

I cry every time. I remember. I try to pass that mercy on.

[@toddcharry]

Midgets, Ever listen to Todd Rundgren's "Pretending To Care" or any of his other deep ballads? They always get to me. It's not weak at all to feel emotion and compassion. Having a soft heart in a cruel world takes courage not weakness.

[@MissDistarr]

toddcharry "Having a soft heart in a cruel world takes courage not weakness". Those are such true words. Being true to yourself and not allowing anyone or anything to change that, takes courage and strength. It's easy to follow the pack. It takes strong character to walk alone not hiding behind a mask of indifference. It's a shame that more people aren't willing to do the same. It sure would make this world a much nicer and kinder place. Allow yourself to be genuine.

I'm so excited. But I thought I'd be chill so I turn to him and say, "THESE DAYS is my favorite song." He says, "Thank you." And that was it. He just wanted to see his buddy play and didn't want to talk to a moron like me, so I left him alone. But I felt like a tool. He's the best. This song has gotten me through a lot of rough days.

How on Earth had this song passed me by ? I adore JB's entire catalogue. This is sublime. 10 stars !!

A great song with a timeless message about love and regret. Nice job Mr. Browne.

So love this mans talent! Pretty much everything about him. I just feel so drawn to him. My hubby which has passed on loved Jackson and he turned me on to so many of his songs. Im forever thankful he did. God, I think he's the best. 💓

True gem.

If you like this song Check out his duet with Bonnie Raitt on My Opening Farewell. It’s a beauty

I don´t do much talking these days

[@Bs6223]

So as i have said before their are many things we can do without spending money like kindness. so as I feel at times I wish rather than these post we could all just talk face to face. much is lost, words are not written to fully express feelings. As will and can't replace a moment together. songs music are a wonderful way to escape relax express. truly a art gift we can enjoy. so rather than negative hurtful post. may we all choose kindness.

Beautiful soul ✨

[@nicksfantoo]

what an amazing song this is. I had not played any of his music in a while, had to pull out the old CDs, now I can't stop playing it.

[@cjm1789]

One of my all-time favourite songs .... strange how songs become tangled up with memories, and believe it or not this one is from about 40 years ago!

[@H3MP5K1]

For me it means time passing too slowly, like a quarter tone being barely perceptible - a watched clock never moves...

Great song, great artist, great performance. First time I've heard him do it solo. Brilliant. I must have played his studio version a million times back in the day. Powerful.
