[@worldrunner]

Song says lots about grief. Dreary grey solitude captures a depression of the ocean's infinity and beauty.. Life could otherwise be colorful and inspiring, but regrets color it dreary. "These days I think of all the things I forgot to do for you, and all the times I had a chance to . . ." How did a 16 year-old have such insight?

[@sheilaf1946]

Don't confront me with my failures...I had not forgotten them. One of the best lyrical lines ever.

Yeah mate, know that one, twice before I hit 40. Remember her & smile . . . I wish you peace, love & joy.

[@jeilbchcats6805]

So sorry for your loss. I can't imagine your pain. I discovered Jackson Browne at the age of 14, almost 40 years ago. I lost my Father in a tragic head-on train collision 6 weeks prior to my 16th birthday. I had fallen in love with someone who I know without a doubt, was my true soul mate, who moved out of state, but had stayed at our house the entire summer, but left 2 weeks prior to my Father's death. This may sound silly to be so young & have those feelings, but they are what they are. God saved me, but the beautiful music of Jackson Browne had a huge impact on me. It seemed as though every song he sang was somehow related to what I was experiencing. It touch me to my inner core. I've can't even begin to imagine or say how his music got me through. This has continued through the years. No other music soothed my soul like the greatest artist like him. He will never know what he did for me, but I will never forget. What a pure beautiful soul.

[@otispickit08]

Tommy Graham Amen brother. God bless!

[@willmpet]

I am brought to tears by Jackson Browne's music. This song and 'Fountain of Sorrow' shows an unheard of ability to create through the thought of others, through the pain felt for others.

[@Libbyerality]

Thanks for watching. His lyrics get to the truth of the matter. He wasn't afraid to be vulnerable in this world. That's courage!!! Thanks again Bill, and take care!

[@peggygleichman5101]

It amazes me that Jackson Browne wrote this tune when he was only 16 years old. His music is timeless, I have been listening to him since the mid-70's and it never gets old.

[@conachcraig]

Jackson Browne Gregg Allman was one of the most gifted singers of the last fifty years. We became friends in LA in the late sixties when he and Duane were in The Hourglass. He was a blues singer first, and he was so natural, and so soulful, that when he sang songs that were written in a major scale, he found all the most soulful and expressive passages through those changes. It was just how he heard it. That's how it was with my song, These Days. He slowed it down, and felt it deeply, and h...e made that song twice as good as it was before he sang it. I got to speak with him in the week before he passed, and I got to tell him how much his music and his friendship has meant to me. He recently recorded one of my early songs, Song For Adam, and he and Don Was sent it to me to sing on, and I did. That song, the way he sang it and where he sang it from - at the end of his life - well, he completed that song, and gave it a resonance and a gravity that could only have been put there by him. I will miss him. I send my deepest condolences to his family, his bands and crews, and all those who knew him and loved him

[@Libbyerality]

Don't mean to sound like I'm feeling sorry for myself, but when my parents went through a grisly divorce and I began suffering from severe depression, this is the song I kept listening to over and over again.

[@Libbyerality]

+John Cook John, I find your honesty to be very brave. I have suffered with severe depression for many years. I made this video in order to reconnect to the world on some level and sort through my feelings. I truly hope you are feeling better. JB wrote this at a very young age.

[@AlTavers]

I was just going to say "14." At either one, I remember when I heard that for the first time, the lyrics immediately struck me as being pretty advanced. He'd probably been writing since childhood...

[@MrsEmmaClaps]

I think it just makes the song so special. Must admit though, Glen Campbell covered it best. Especially because of when he recorded it.

[@vettekingiam]

And Steve Winwood was 15 when he sang Lead Vocals for Spencer Davis on "Gimme Some Lovin"....

[@AlTavers]

The guitarist from Iron Butterfly was also only 15, on the album which contained "In A Gadda Da Vida." Neil Schon was also pretty young - I'm not positive, offhand, but I think he was 15 - when he played with Santana, at the original Woodstock Festival.

[@row_sea]

Beautiful, yet appropriately so, gloomy graphics You attached! Terrific job. THANK YOU! One of my favorite songs of all time, on short list! Am a predominantly crippled senior citizen knowing this song since Jackson Browne, himself, finally released it. Also think is one of the greatest songs ever written. Imagine writing a timeless song + of this caliber at the tender age of 16? Quite remarkable. Has very special meaning to me, as most songs that are near and dear to our hearts are (at very least, partially) metaphoric. Thank Goodness for the very talented & GREAT Mr Jackson Browne. ❤️

''"These Days" is a song written by Jackson Browne and recorded by several different recording artists. Browne wrote the song at age 16; its lyrics deal with themes of loss and regret] It was first recorded by Nico in 1967 for her album Chelsea Girl. Browne and singer-songwriter Gregg Allman later recorded their own versions in 1973, with Browne crediting Allman for its arrangement. "These Days" has been recorded by a myriad of different artists since, including Paul Westerberg, St. Vincent, Fountains of Wayne, Drake, and more.

I would not have been able to relate to this song at age 16 when Jackson wrote it, but the song is on point for me now that I'm in my 60's. It's one of the songs that is sad but true and it hit the mark in your heart. You look back and realize you made mistakes and failed in many ways but you also loved and had some really good times. Thank you Jackson for this song that I now consider to be my theme song. It speaks to my heart and comforts my mind. You are a true gem.

Jackson Browne wrote it..::This sad, hurting song was originally written by Jackson Browne when he was just 16 years old in either 1964 or 1965. It appeared on a Browne demo in early 1967 under the title "I've Been Out Walking." Later in the same year it gained its first release when Andy Warhol's protégé Nico recorded it on her Chelsea Girl album, with Browne playing acoustic guitar. Other artists covered it over the following few years, including the Nitty Gritty Junk Band on their Rare Junk album and Tom Rush on his 1970 self-titled set.
