I played this song on my way to prison to remind myself i could do this. when i got in there i met the only other deadhead on the compound and we kept each other going thru music. He was white and im black but prison racial tension was never between us. We were from different walks of life and from different parts of the country. The only thing we had in common was the Grateful Dead and that was all we needed. When one of us was feelin down we'd crank up the tunes and jam. Makes me tear up thinkin about it. Couldnt have made it w/o him and the Dead is what brought us together, forever grateful.✌🏾😎🍄

I thought of this video almost immediately, as Walton gifted Grateful Dead drummer Mickey Hart the Celtics jacket that he wears in this video, from 1987. Walton was immensely proud of his two seasons as a Celtic, and I'm sure he'll be cheering them from Heaven as the Celtics go after Banner 18. RIP, Bill Walton☘

The line, "I will get by, I will survive," became a mantra of resilience in the Dead community.

I am 41, saw this video first time when I was 14 or so. Now I am suffering badly badly from depression with huge suicidal thoughts for 11 years now. This song came to my mind a year ago and I play it every day for myself, hoping I will get by and will survive.

[@ayeartogrow]

Hey @snakeroll I hope you're doing ok. I'm 47 and depression runs in my family. Lost a brother to suicide, and 6 of 8 of my immediate family have attempted. I however have been one of the two exceptions. I think about this a lot. Why am I the way I am? I've always felt about the way I feel. Nothing makes me feel better, nothing makes me feel worse. And so I've concluded that there must those out there who naturally feel "bad". Just the way I naturally feel generally ok (not amazing, but ok). And they must just tend to hover there the way I tend to just hover here. It sounds like this person is you. So, in a way, I've been thinking about you off and on for at least 30 years. I've worried about you and I've hoped for you. And after 30 years of thinking I still don't really know what to say to you. Because what do I know about it? Nothing really. That's all I know, is that I know nothing about it. I'm a falconer. If you are drawn to outdoors, wildlife, or the natural cycle I suggest you look into it. There will be local groups or clubs maybe. Try looking them up on the internet and ask someone to take you out flying with their birds and see what you think of it. Hawks and falcons do not have easy lives. Nor do the prey that they hunt. If they succeed on a hunt, something dies. If they fail in hunting, they die. And that is the natural world that we are so detached from. Death is such a huge part of life, but we have been removed from that. Maybe reconnecting with nature and the natural life cycle would be helpful. Last thing I will say is I've seen a lot of things die. Predator and prey in the natural world and I will tell you this. None of them go quietly into that dark night. Even in scenarios where any right minded person would just let it end. They fight for every breath in every situation until the very end. And from that I've learned the value of this life. It is simply in life itself. It isn't complicated. Life is worth living, it is reason enough. You don't need to be safe, or happy, or comfortable, or anything. You just need to breath each breath and live it. Mice do it. Rabbits do it. Falcons do it. We can do it too. To the last breath.

I had a friend who was troubled. I showed him this song. He said it was 'actually kinda nice' Years later, he's been uh, missing from Earth lately. Sucks that I couldn't do more to help him. But this song will always remind me of him, of us, of the struggle, and the multiple linings life has to all of its elements. Rest well 'Rinbro', if you see Jerry somewhere down there, give him a holler.

I lost my friend recently who was an amazing human and a devoted Dead Head. One of those rare people you meet in life in passing you feel like you've known forever after a couple minutes. Heard this song for the first time in decades after coming home from his memorial service. It was all I could do to keep my composure, but in hindsight I think it would have been worth it to just give in and break down to let it out. Randy, you were an amazing friend, and I'll be seeing you soon.

[@ELEcomments]

Never was a big fan of the dead but this song really hit me last year. My dad was in the hospital and my mother was away visiting him for the week. They were both living with me at the time so it was odd to have the house so empty. There was constant worry, dread and anxiety I was facing cause of what was happening. One day during the week while bored, I started playing a youtube mix and came across this song. It spoke to me. I listened to it daily while my family was away it gave me a small glimpse of hope. I eventually got to take the trip as well to see my dad one last time before he passed away that fall. This song now has a very special place in my heart for getting me through one of the longest, most difficult weeks of my life. Rip dad...

My uncle just introduced me to this song. He was trying to find it earlier so that I could listen to it but couldn't find it. After hearing that it had singing skeletons in it, I decided to look it up out of curiosity. Needless to say I never expected to start tearing up during it. Life's been a mixed bag for my family for a long time and this month has been especially rough for my parents and I, didn't expect for the lyrics to be so encouraging. Music is one of those things that can just affect you in different ways and I'm really glad I got to hear this one today. It makes you feel like you can get through anything

I always thought this song was the perfect definition of irony. A song, written and performed by a band who couldn't have cared LESS about "mainstream" popularity or number 1 hits, that gave a bunch of "misfits" an international voice 35+yrs after they started their long strange trip... I'm reminded of how the late Bill Graham described the boy's after the last show at the Winterland Auditorium in SanFran ...
