At one point in my life, I was certain this world was headed toward an end, and it was no place to bring children. This song, it's emotions, played a major role in changing my view. It was so loving, warm, and emoted so clearly how real love is, I changed. My heart changed. A few years later, I married. 9 months and two weeks later, my little girl came into this world. She has two brothers. And hearing this song still hits my heart so hard, if not harder. Thanks Brent.

Umm, Brent was torn to pieces from going through a painful divorce - and the thoughts of being separated from his lovely family/daughter were just too much for him, like so many, he self medicated = it was a mistake, not a plan.......you might consider toning down the judgments till you walk in someone else's shoes....

I saw Brent with the Dead in 1990 after that I did 1 show with Bruce Hornsby on keyboards but that was it for me after 5 years of East coast tours I was done. He's always been my favorite member. 💓 I didn't really get it till 30 years later but now that I. Do it's even more sad. Love you Brent. I self medidicate too. I'm sure if I'd been in his place I could see how this could of happened. Rest my brother.

I hope that somewhere in the ever after Brent Jerry pigpen Vince and Keith are jamming giving all that therein lies joy and a grateful smile carried on the ripples of cosmic waves forevermore.

So lucky to have seen a few versions of this up and down the east coast tours. Last time seeing Brent was in Noblesville, Ind. Always thought the band was just hitting some strides again during the last couple of Brent's years with them. Getting tighter, bringing out all the oldies, etc. Remember the video screens showing pics of Brent's kids and how he always had one of them propped on his keyboard. You just knew he always had them in his thoughts while on the road. Miss you Brent, it was fun.

It was an awesome wedding where we only played tapes from other shows after the meal. Everyone commented on all of the music. The reason I replied to your post is because I know what it's like losing your parents, and it's simply fantastic that you have that memory of your Dad.

"Another of Brent’s originals was the heartfelt ballad “I Will Take You Home,” which was written with lyricist John Perry Barlow. Myland led a poignant rendition of “I Will Take You Home” during the second set of the Grateful Dead show held on September 15, 1988 at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Mydland started to play “I Will Take You Home” and after singing the opening lines, he approached the song’s verse: Daddy’s come ’round for his darlin’ again / Hold my hand with your little fingers / Daddy’s loving arms gonna gather you in. At that point his daughter Jessica was placed on stage next to her dad and sat on his piano bench for the duration of the song." www.jambase.com/article/remembering-grateful-dead-keyboardist-brent-mydland-performing-will-take-home-daughter

Brent was the best keyboardist (and maybe also the best singer) the Dead had. Jerry knew it, and loved him. We can see lots of eye contact between them two in videotaped concerts. They shared some special kind of complicity, to say. But I wonder... a guy who writes such a wonderful lullaby to his daughter... why in the world could he shoot speeball to death ?
