Shit's Crazy Out Here - Bruce Hornsby

Rolling into Number Seven in our series of performances from Bruce’s Deep South Solo Tour with a track that could easily pass as a metaphor for our crazy world- “Shit’s Crazy Out Here”. Imagine Arnold Schoenberg and Elliott Carter meet The Beatles at the Boo Williams Sportsplex for some highest-level Darwinian AAU Basketball.

I was 11 when I first heard Bruce sing The Way It Is......I'm 50 now....and my love for your music has never wavered, no one will ever play the piano like you.....at least not to my ear.

[@Kevin-gb8gb]

That just doesn't add upp. The way it is came out in 1986, so you couldn't have been 11 when you first heard it.

[@badvock71]

@@Kevin-gb8gb so you've just proved my memory isn't what it was....I didn't do the math... it was just anecdotal. Congratulations

@@bryanadams3 I don't know if that's true, but i've always enjoyed your music

[@zacharyrjstrong]

Amazing.

[@jimmartin7917]

This reminds me of some of Randy Newman's songs.

[@susanschneider2820]

From the Volpe Practice Building at the University of Miami School of Music, Vince Maggio, Dennis Kam, Whit Sidener, Larry Lapin and even Dr Alfred Reed would be so blown away at what they helped incubate in and through you. Dude, I am proud to have been lucky enough to hear you a time or two there. Thanks Bruce for making others dreams come true through the Creative American Music program. Go Canes!!!!

[@patriciamcneely8911]

Okay 👍🏽, I see you, Bruce!! Yes!!!

[@maxalfredjoelasemoule3993]

Ça ne ressemble à rien d'autre, pourtant chaque fois que je découvre du Hornsby que je ne connaissais pas ou pas bien, ce sont toujours les mêmes cordes qui vibrent en moi. Un mélange d'avant-garde et un immense classicisme à la fois. Il doit y avoir un effet de fond, une sorte d'onde secrète chez ce musicien qui fait que je l'apprécie depuis les années 80 malgré une trajectoire extrêmement changeante et des styles parfois opposés. vive lui et vive la belle musique !

[@pierrebeausoleil5885]

ALLO MAX ALFRED, LA meilleur version de THE END OF THE INNOCENCE est pour moi celle de BRUCE surtout pour le solo du milieux .Just playing it on guitare it is fabulus

[@matthewpeterkinaikuruyamot8743]

Bruce Hornsby is the ultimate, I didn't know that he said cuss words, that makes me like him more and more, I swear, he is the best and the greatest man in the world. 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿🌟🌟🌟⭐⭐⭐🎖🎖🎖

[@clintonwilcox4690]

That's a very shallow reason to like someone more than you did before.

[@derrickvella5912]

This was a real gem at the Toronto solo gig last week.

[@Atif_Ph.D._Kate_Bush_Fan_Club]

This should be interesting given the title.

[@G.Man-]

I was thinking the same thing!! Some channels which may be of interest to you.. Carl Vernon Hugo Talks Fair Play Now Russel Brand Awaken With JP The Jimmy Dore Show

[@hailmaryrecordings8255]

Great work here. ❤️

[@benjaminhall9555]

[@donovanphillips4973]

[@balindagay5492]

Simply the truth...well done B

[@vickydupree8871]

Dreadfully Awsome.

[@stevencochran5301]

I can vouch for within Massachusetts!

[@franklewis5905]

Did Jonathan help write this one? I love that guy. Ahhhhhhhaaaa!

[@tubekook55]

I'm bound and determined to crack the code on this thing. I concede that there is a degree of humor, and yet, I still maintain that qualitative element that contains an expression of feeling that has a seed of truth, a reflection of something in the world, not just an exercise in tonal creation. At 2:35, that call, as if for help, an expression of something in that...(the image evoked is someone calling a friend from a phone booth from a sketchy neighborhood, a name?...Key?),and then that incredible chordal journey. A wonderful piece of music from whatever etiology. - edit, weeks later: Dang, that took long enough..The Darwinian tone, the name, Keith, called out by a fellow player in the AAU. I hear more comedy in it now, but still...Elliot Carter...the moods....somewhat serious at the same time...a lot on the line.

[@monahawk]

I would have called this "The Stolen-Election Covid-Nightmare Where The Phuck Am I ? Blues". Perfect in it's dystonic, steadfast refusal to RESOLVE. Perfect.

[@ericpaivio3877]

Sure enough, shits crazy out here! But of course, leave it to BH to soundscape us smack dab into the middle of this floating, ever shifting, weirdly wonderful life of"Interesting Times"...crazy cool man

[@WinterWoolies]

Maynard I bet loves this

[@HeidiWilson1936]

Genius with those big ol ugly feet. I'm always going to be in love with him. Seen him many times but never enough. I will sing with him every harmony to every note of every song b4 I die. Chk out my music and you'll understand. The Heidi Wilson Band. It's my final bucket list wish befor my illness takes me. It'll happen. It has to. 💓😘

[@jjryan1352]

[@kinsmed]

Bruce, have you ever thought about writing a musical?

[@IR-yb1tb]

Ironic or serious question?

[@tubekook55]

The answer lies within...at about the 1:03:26 mark and the 1:14:50 mark:..kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3KlnZeOrZ14ndk

[@tubekook55]

He did write one, several years ago. It was performed at a music school. I forget the name.

[@nelliannevanderzee3280]

From when is this song?

[@scottmcphee7714]

'H's music is the only thing that is worth 'quality' out of any band or musician these days....far & out!

[@clintonwilcox4690]

That's a bit more of a coarse title than I expected from Bruce Hornsby. But I guess he is an aging blue collar musician.

[@nannerl6243]

No not Arnold Schoenberg I'd rather listen to my vacuum cleaner.
