BRUCE HORNSBY - Mandolin Rain | FIRST TIME REACTION

[@followthru1000]

This song always takes me away. Hard to explain how it makes me feel and deep it takes me but my goodness it's beautiful ❤️.

[@chicagojon1972]

Bruce is one of my favorites! He's great in concert and has so many wonderful songs. I hope you check out more!

[@xScooterAZx]

Awe,.you should have done the official video. It's awesome watching him play. Every song he has released is like a beautiful aura that just envelopes you. You wind up closing your eyes and sitting back to take it in deeply. Such a fine feeling his music gives you. I love to play his music while sitting in front of my window during the rain. Right about dusk. Do I need to mention with a mug of hot chocolate?

This song just hits me and every time I hear it I got a fight so my eyes don't well up 💯 Bruce is so talented and often overlooked imo. Just a great musician singer and songwriter 💯

[@bobschenkel7921]

Bruce Hornsby is probably my all time favorite person in Rock and Roll. He is not only a great performer, Pianist, Accordianist, Singer, Songwriter, but he is just an outstanding human being. I have seen him in concert with both his band, The Range, and as an opener for the Grateful Dead, but also as a touring member of The Dead. He is from Williamsburg, Va., and attended the local college William and Mary, and then started recording music. At least two other song from Bruce you will enjoy, "The Way It is" and "The Valley Road". There are more, but that is a start.

The entire album is amazing. Brings me right back to high school. And the music is still as good

[@johnathanstruble1064]

Jerry Garcia, of the Grateful Dead, after Pig Pen the original keyboards, for the Dead, passed away...the dead needed a pianist/Keyboardist, to join the live tours, during early, to mid 90s. He chose, Bruce Hornsby... Nuff said

[@richardhargrave6082]

I bought this album, this is my favourite, its just wonderful The piano is exquisite and the mandolin in the background is so subtle Isn't the piano just a beautiful thing?

[@jellyrollnorton]

A wistful song that takes you right back.

[@armandogarza6181]

Yea man, gotta love Bruce Hornsby. The song The Way It Is, is a great song by him, peace. Edit: Bruce also played keyboards on about 100 dates for The Dead in the early 1990.

[@kmach1000]

So, so beautiful. I love this song! His piano is amazing! You would love "The way it is", another great song of his.

[@susansnyder9271]

Bruce always writes heart expanding music.

[@johnthegreek5836]

[@mariaarmagnague3482]

Hi from Argentina!!! This song is from the 80’s!! I love this from I hear it… ItAll m’y love from m’y Country!!! 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️!!!

[@suecook1326]

Bruce, his brother and another band member wrote this song as well as playing the piano and singing it! Such a talented man!! When you're ready to do "The Way It Is" please select the official audio version so you can see his piano skills in action! He has a different method of playing and it looks like he's picking the notes out using single fingers.

[@ruthlafler5622]

I thought I was imagining that his technique was unique.

[@sandyshoenberger2697]

Great reaction to beautiful song.

[@SteveA308]

Totally love this song....... well done for reacting.....

[@intothesunset3]

Great reaction, thank you!😊♥ So glad you enjoyed this. I was thirteen in 1986, and this song is quintessential mid-80's to me😊Brings back so many memories. Bruce Hornsby was a touring member of the Grateful Dead from 1990-1992, and has worked with lots of other artists you have reacted to (including Bob Dylan, Bonnie Raitt, Crosby Stills and Nash, Stevie Nicks...) as well as bluegrass legend Ricky Skaggs.

[@johnathanstruble1064]

I was 16...music,..was music.

[@intothesunset3]

@@johnathanstruble1064 Yep😊

[@benjammin7729]

Came out when I was 9 and is one of my favorite songs in the world

[@ShawnSalvadori]

Happy you enjoyed! This was a great song to listen to and I love the extensive presence and history he has had in music, both on his own and with some of the best to ever do it! Reading through the comments here, sounds like he is well known and loved for his contributions to music and just sounds like a great person all around 💗☺

[@danil530]

My daddy’s name is Bruce and he hates it! Great song. One of my favs

[@ShawnSalvadori]

What a shame 😯 Bruce is a great name 😁

[@jodyjackson5475]

You’re busy today! Love it ❤

[@heyou702pc]

If you react to "The Way It Is", you will recognize it if you are from the Tupac era. You will know where Tupac got it from cause Bruce did it first.

[@Noelle0026]

I love this song , Bruce Hornsby and mandolins.

[@musashimiyamoto586]

Very underrated artist and a fantastic piano player. Check out "End of the Innocence/Song A/Sun bear theme". It is like a piano anthem.

[@Neilxtc]

Reminds me of one girl…

[@Malibu1515]

Everywhere this man performs Deadheads always show up to dance.

[@librarylady13]

Try his song "The Way It Is".

[@custardflan]

Hornsby played the piano on Bonnie Raitt's I Can't Make You Love Me, which i think you reacted to.

[@johndixon4115]

Yiou need to do The Way it is. That song put Bruce on the map

[@witchestomotheryou234]

Another great song! -- You should react to some more Sinead O’Connor btw: Troy, Fire On Babylon, Empire (with Benjamin Zephaniah) , Last Day Of Our Acquaintance… so many great songs. Also, has anyone recommended any Mike Patton?? Incredible voice. :)

[@intothesunset3]

Great suggestions!

[@danbaranowski8580]

Great artist that gets overlooked. Most prefer Elton John or Billy Joel on the piano. He may not have as many hits as Elton or Billy, but he plays just as well, if not better. The Greatest Hits probably contains all of his best tracks. Can't go wrong with Bruce!
