LYRICS:
It is a dance we do in silence, far below this morning sun
You in your life, me in mine, we have begun
Here we stand and without speaking draw the water from the well
And stare beyond the plains to where the mountains lie so still
But it's a long way that I have come
Across the sand, to find this peace among your people in the sun
Where the families work the land as they have always done
Oh, it's so far, the other way my country's gone
Across my home has grown the shadow of a cruel and senseless hand
Though in some strong hearts the love and truth remain
And it has taken me this distance and a woman's smile to learn
That my heart remains among them and to them I must return
But it's a long way that I have come
Across the sand, to find you here, among these people in the sun
Where your children will be born
You'll watch them as they run
Oh, it's so far, the other way my life has gone
If you look for me, Maria
You will find me in the shade
Wide awake or in a dream
It's hard to tell
If you come to me, Maria
I will show you what I've made
It's a picture for our lady of the well

How ‘bout some love for Val McCallum!!! 👍

What a masterful guitarist. I don't remember the last time I heard such a sweet tone, to boot.

I wish I could give this a hundred thumbs up. This is Jackson as his best!

So so good. What a voice he still has 🙂

[@MaxPower-js1sk]

This is my favourite Jackson Browne song. I’ve been playing it on guitar for 40 years.

[@robertnewell9238]

I like the song a lot although I find the key changes make it hard to sing easily. Well done if you've mastered it... and JB certainly nails it here. Expensive sounding guitars too😄

[@MaxPower-js1sk]

@@robertnewell9238 What song are you thinking of? Cheer, Max

[@MaxPower-js1sk]

@@robertnewell9238 Hi Robert. Did you mean that the chord changes make it hard to sing? There aren’t any key changes in “Our Lady of the Well”, so I’m a bit confused. Cheers, Max 😁👍

[@plantman6245]

Hi I always played this in key of G….what key is he playing in here and in Austin city limits video? Thx

[@onewolf1637]

Jackson's little chuckle at the end says it all;; really nice version guys.

[@tyalan7313]

Back when I had my first job at 15/16, and coming to grips with how an older man who was not your dad could boss you around in the absence of your family, I was already an avid JB fan and had been for years. One day that boss, my store manager, found out I was a fan bc I was wearing a JB "Tour 80" concert shirt. You know the ones: baseball jersey type -- white front with the colored sleeves to the elbows (I still have it, no its not for sale). He then told me he went to high school with Jackson. He may have said it was Sunny Hills High in Orange County Calif. He said he always had a guitar hanging 'round his neck ... and long hair. I suddenly realized ... "hey, I do that. And I have long-ish hair". I snapped out of my fantasy when he ordered, "go get carts". Ha ha. I saw my manager differently after he told me that. I admired him. Can you imagine? I suppose to the people that post here they completely get it and some may even have a similar story. I had never met nor even been near to Jackson so knowing someone that was in some way one degree separated was huge to me at that impressionable age. Had to be, right - - here I am recounting that story some 40 years later. Thanks Jackson, Val for putting up this awesome content.

I’ve been to see and hear Jackson - all over the country. I’ll be in Tacoma later this month to see JB and JT. I grew up and grew old with JB as my soundtrack. He and I are only a month apart in age. I’ve said many times in my later years that I so hope that Jackson outlives me because a world without Jackson Browne…we’ll that ain’t no kind of world for me.

[@nataliewilliams9741]

I'd love to see JB again. Never saw JT. I wish I'd known before they were coming here. Too late to get tickets now I figure . . .

[@davidr.g.9118]

@@nataliewilliams9741 its not to late as long as he is still alive.for some reason or another musicians like jackson never stop playing.

[@candacekamens1245]

I so agree. I've only seen him 3 times so far. I absolutely love every single thing he does.

[@cjcurtis8944]

As a 52 year old that was literally raised on his music I am dreading the day it comes. I have been blessed to see him many times, and mostly with my mom who is why I grew up with him. He’s always been my favorite and nothing could ever change that. I think I am introspective in part because of his music. I was that 5 or 6 yr old trying to figure out what Fountain of Sorrow was all about.

Thank you, Jackson Browne. Appreciation for your lyric poetry.

[@WilFennell]

My elder brother had this album when it first came out and had me listen with him. I was 12 and can still picture it perfectly, with the LP spinning, holding the jacket and checking out the photos and reading every word. Loved this song from the first listening. -- This is a brilliant rendition of a timeless piece! Thanks for sharing it!

[@brucedenis71]

Another absolute gem. Love Val's phrasing, as usual.

[@christ0phr]

Yes, truly beautiful!

[@petebansen9780]

He's a terrific musician!

[@vintageport7804]

Takes me back to when that song was first recorded fror the album "For Everyman" (1973)...a much better time for many of us. Thank you to Jackson and Val for the remembrance.

[@Curlysblues]

"For Everyman" holds a special place for me! I listened to it so much when it came out, played guitar along with it ... I think I probably knew how long each pause was between songs. Truly special.

[@nancykleiner6933]

Jackson has been a Favorite of mine my entire life darn near. Every music I ever recorded for myself had to have Jackson included in between all anything I recorded especially when I was driving cross country .. I Love how his words just grab ahold of you and take you there. To actually be at one of his shows you don't want to leave wanting him to come back and play just One More 🤗

[@user-vx5lb4iw2q]

Beautiful I could listen to you anytime from my past to present. Your music is timeless to me.

Hi Snow, how are you doing today?

[@EHzNow]

Absolutely beautiful. Cool to know that Linda Ronstadt is somewhere in that story. Had a crush on her back in the 70s and been mesmerized by and loving this song since the 70s. The whole Melody of this song and the way it flows into Colors of the Sun and then into Sing my Songs to me and For Everyman on that original album is one of the best records ever made. Still listen to it from start to finish at least once a year.

[@phishbill]

There are actually five songs between Colors and Sing My Songs, but i'd agree that the album-and its flow in general-are spectacular indeed.

[@EHzNow]

Actually Our Lady of the Well and Colors of the Sun and Sing My Songs to me and For Everyman are sequential to one another on side A and the latter on side B, which is whaat I was referring to. Excuse me if my description was difficult to understand.

[@EHzNow]

@@phishbill

[@phishbill]

@@EHzNow Welp, it's because you said "..flows into Colors of the Sun AND THEN INTO Sing My Songs.." I Thought I Was a Child, These Days, Redneck Friend, The Times You've Come, and Ready or Not just called-they'd like to have a few words with you.

[@karenstepp669]

@@EHzNow What I love the most is the way Take It Easy flows into Our Lady of the Well. I really love that. I haven't been able to hear them as 2 separate songs since the first time I listened to that album. When I only hear one of them it feels like something's missing. 😊

[@kennethmardis2132]

Jackson is always great one of the best song writers ever

[@stephenlayland2889]

I was a sophomore in 1973-74. Everyone knew about the Eagles. Mr. Wiseman dug up a record player and supplied us with fill-in-the-blank photocopies of lyrics. "For a Dancer". I learned how to pay attention to meaning. I learned insight. I learned that I could tell a story with the pieces people already have. I get a little better at it every day. I remember him as slight and moderate, built for longevity. Barring misfortune, Scott Wiseman adapted to common core, completed his career and now enjoys a retirement of contemplation and broad vistas.

This is why I’ve always enjoyed his solo acoustic shows and the two live volumes. I asked him about five years if he was going to release more of those and he said he was thinking about it. I’d be a buyer! Actually I wish he’d re-record some of his albums solo acoustic with some new interpretations on the songs.
