48 yrs ago I sat on the balcony of my home in California and listened to some crazy kid playing piano just 3 doors(houses) from mine and he had been playing all morning not complete songs but enough to where I could tell whoever it was that he was a good musician. I was going to do that many times but didn't - then that day I got balls and I reached into the cooler sitting next to me, grabbed a beer and was going to walk down to that house and tell them how good their playing was . They were only 3 houses down and the music from that piano was crystal clear.Then I heard that song "Late For the Sky" for the very first time. I stood in the doorway listening to the entire song before walking down to meet whoever was playing that beautiful song. All the houses in my neighbor hood at the time had dog eared cedar wood fences around our back yards except for the house I was walking to . They had an iron type fence very easy to see through. and as I walked up to the gate this long haired guy who was playing the piano stopped and he saw me standing there at the gate and he just waved me in and went right back to playing his next song .. I walked up beside the piano and he stopped and I reached out my hand to introduce myself and the two of us shook hands and ai told him I had been listening to him play all morning, I asked him his name and he said Jackson. I said, "No what is your first name?" and he replied, "Jackson"

[@claudioconsoli3199]

I was 17 (now 63). I was in high school and I was in full adolescence crisis. After dinner at 8 in the evening I went to my room, turned off the light, lit a cigarette and the radio and waited for 9: first there was SUPERSONIC that sent beautiful music but a little "commercial" if you can say so of pieces still incredible. Then Massarini arrived with POPOFF and the night began: with him I discovered Jackson Browne, DESPERADO's Eagles and countless others. It was a real journey into the night: I was out of my room traveling around the world. I still have the chills in the memory of those years. I try to relive them by learning to play and sing those pieces: it is a palliative but it is good for me even if I am late for the sky. Thanks Jackson!

[@BabyBoomerChannel]

When I was 15 years old (in 1976), I found a record album under my 17 year old brother's bed. I had plain blue album cover. It was a collection of "B Sides" that record companies sent off as promos to record stores. One of the songs had an odd title, "Fountain of Sorrow", by a musician I'd never heard of, Jackson Browne. I played that song about a million times, and my further investigation of Mr. Browne's music forever changed my life. His music inspired me to learn guitar and explore music, and his music got me through many, many sad times, with plenty of tears spent along the way. But the tears I shed, due to lost love, was always comforted by JB's lyrics and emotional music.

I'm only 22, but I understand because I feel the same. Thanks to Martin Scorsese. If it weren't for Taxi Driver I probably wouldn't have heard this song, it would always be my number one film.

[@johnrogers7846]

This is music, dare I say, for everyman.

[@wllms984]

I see what you did there!

[@wbl5649]

Back when I was 16 and madly in love with my husband, he worked graveyard shift. I'd stay up all night waiting for him to get home so we'd be on the same schedule and could sleep together. I'd draw and do artwork all night listening to Jackson Browne and James Taylor. For some reason, I always did my best art pieces when Jackson Brownes albums were playing in the background. My husband of 41 years died 5 years ago, but Jackson Brownes music will always be entwined with those very best days of my life. My husband also took me to my very first concert, Jackson Browne at UC Davis Freeborn Hall in 1975...

[@sherlockgnomes8971]

Sorry for your loss, but thank you for sharing your story. I am currently crying reading yours and other comments but also smiling with the odd laugh. Pain and love are so relatable for us all and he captures them beautifully.

[@wbl5649]

@@sherlockgnomes8971 thank you

[@gofoxgo]

Dude was wise beyond his personal experiences. Such a tremendous capacity to empathize with the plight of others and convey the feeling of his words through music. And he seems to have lived and loved this life to the fullest. Good on ya!

[@Iluvbisquits]

Your songs of love and loss have kept me going over the years knowing that I'm not alone...Thank you so much for your words and music!!! You have been a huge positive influence in my life!!!

[@robertlunny6864]

During these crazy times Jackson’s voice and stories make us believe in humanity. Peace.

[@LambieSamba]

Oh, Jackson! No one has aged as well as Jackson Browne, Patty you made the wrong choice! His voice is still excellent and can take me back years! This is a stunning rendition!

[@worldrunner]

"For a Dancer" on this album -- helped to comfort through a suicide loss and the separate, even more difficult death of my beloved mother. Grief takes time. For me, it never completely resolves, but there is a place for acceptance. "For A Dancer" helps to remind of the gift of life .

My favorite artist of all time! I’ve seen him in concert 7 times so far and had tickets to see him with James Taylor last summer. Hopefully, that show will happen next summer if we can get COVID under control. In the meantime, these performances and his release of a few new singles sustain me. Can’t wait for his new album in February. Love you, Jackson!

@@jacksonbrowne6534 Late for the sky is arguably the greatest album of all time. The songs are true poetry. The song Late for the sky is a masterpiece. My kids aged 30, 28, 13 and 12 have grown up listening to your music and have been inspired to play guitar and piano. Thanks Jackson! Andy Barker and Family

Jackson Browne is such an Legendary Artist of music of all time .I've followed him all my life . Love the song

[@marcosmontalvo7573]

Rand Martin I wish I'd never had gone astray after my twin brother took his own life 42 years ago. I couldn't my music with me, can't carry when you become homeless. I left all my music somewhere. Gave some away most I broke and threw into a nearby dumpster. All those memories lived long ago, their theme songs behind all those memories. Jackson Browne Was there. Travel logged memories. I love them. Stay Gold

[@Birdmab]

His voice is heartbreakingly good these days. Always has been but like a fine wine...

[@MrRUKnight]

Without looking it up I know that Late for the Sky, the album, was released in 1974. That's 46 years ago and 16 years before I was born. And it has not aged a day. This album is one of my all time favorites, one I can listen to from top to bottom. When favorite albums, favorite songs, or hell, music in general comes up in conversation I always mention Late for the Sky. Thank you, Jackson Browne.

[@bethb7965]

19 years after I was born. Have always loved his music!!

[@stargazer6753]

@MrRUKnight . I wish that i could say the same. I found all of these wonderful songs only a few years ago and found this particular one so remarkable in it was not what you would have expected ; “Looking hard into your eyes, there was no one I’d ever known, What an empty surprise”.

[@JimRitchieBhoy]

Brilliant song. I kept listening to A Song for Adam through my radiotherapy and beyond. I don't know why but it resonated so well with what I was feeling. Thank you Jackson.

[@keithbaker5932]

Late winter 1976, sitting in a movie theater watching Taxi Driver when a song began, and it dawned on me it was Jackson. That bittersweet feeling when an artist who'd previously been a bit of a secret for us privileged few met with wider success came with that dawning. The song was Late For The Sky, and he wasn't just ours any longer.

[@kennewton5877]

He is the Singer/Songwriter that I use to measure All Others. He takes me places that I’ve been in my life that were so wonderful and some that were not so wonderful. He is so aware of reality and the emotions that we all face in our life. JB is a very Special Artist. We’re lucky to have this mans Talent .

[@mrmojorisin8752]

Wow. What a stunning vocal performance. There’s no hiding when you’re solo acoustic. Almost all of Jackson’s songs are most powerful that way. I had the great pleasure of seeing him on his 2003 solo acoustic tour.

Singer songwriters are my favorite and Jackson Browne is the best of the bunch. I've seen him many times since the mid-'70s and his sincere and thoughtful music has made me a better person.

I so miss the voices and lyrics from my generation. Jackson has traveled many miles with me through the trails in the mountains and backroads of the best part of my life. Peace and love always, brother.

[@thomasmock1998]

Truly one of the GREAT songwriters of his generation! I still listen to my 3 favourite albums of his “Jackson Browne”, Late For The Sky and For Every Man weekly. Before the Deluge, Song For Adam, Fountain of Sorrow, For A Dancer, Farther On, The Late Show, From Silver Lake and on and on. All just so great. Anthems of youth and hope, joy, sorrow and all the emotions of growing up. Thank you Mr. Browne, for sharing your gift with us.

[@letzgetreal]

My favorite jackson browne song. However I have loved them all. I have listened to them during happy and sad times. They are part of me. Part of who I am. I can't express how grateful I am that they have been there for me. If I didn't have them, I just don't know what I would have done.
