Jackson Browne - For A Dancer

Dall'album Late For The Sky.

[@tomscotland]

Late For The Sky is one of the most beautiful records ever made.

[@myratravin9588]

Amen, Tom.

[@braydonblake1410]

I was born in 82. My dad played Jackson my whole life growing up. By far my favorite artist almost 40 years later. My best friend of 30 years passed away to young this year. My sister helped me make a video of our lives together with this song in the back ground. Jackson will be my favorite artist until I can meet my buddy again

[@marybettygriffin5320]

It made an impact in my life as well... Hoping to get tickets he will be very close to home this winter. Been a long time since the last time...many many moons.

[@marybettygriffin5320]

Sorry for your loss

[@pandora30riz20]

Beautiful!!!!

[@johnmcarthur6498]

I was born in 80 and my father played jacksons music my whole life growing up too. Everytime I have a small beverage 😄 I always go back to these songs. These days, fountain of sorrow, late for the sky etc. Such a wonderful songwriter and performer. Will always be my favourite of all time.

[@lloydrobeau5126]

For EVERY MAN , These Days, Take it Easy , The Pretender, etc. On and on ❤️

[@afradwright]

This is for my wife who passed away last year. It would have been our 44th wedding anniversary today. You’re still dancing in my heart. Forever, for my Anne.

[@leecobb3470]

It’s almost new year’s bro I lost my girl of 43 years last March. Hurts so much..they’ll always dance in our hearts

[@alanoneill3065]

You are a brave man to have listened to this on that day

[@JChristelle05]

My younger brother passed last year just two days before he and his wonderful wife would have celebrated their 35th wedding anniversary. It was his time to go, but they'd married young and were still in love, although in a more mature way over the years. Their happy life together and wonderful kids were definitely some consolation in our tune of loss.

[@afradwright]

@@JChristelle05 I’m also very fortunate as I still have our wonderful kids too. But they all have their own lives to lead of course so the loneliness is still very real. Heartfelt best wishes to you and all your family, and I feel for your loss.

One of my oldest friends, Courtney Granger died this past weekend. He was the best cajun fiddler and country singer I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. At his funeral yesterday, this was playing in my head on repeat. R.i.p. and go sing with the angels, my friend.

[@janetsylvie371]

So very sorry for your loss.

[@thegolfnut812]

This also plays in my head a lot. I saw JB live several times in his (and mine) early days. He is still my most favorite. His songs and lyrics touch your soul don't they. I looked up Courtey Granger, listening now, he has a great country voice. Thanks for sharing, RIP to your friend Courtney.

[@user-tl5zh6yq5d]

I chose this song to play at my husband’s funeral last month, but because it was a military service I didn’t get the opportunity… so I play it at 2 in the morning when I’m reminiscing 😢 I love and miss you so much Billy❤❤❤

[@BillWoodillustrator]

From one Bill to another- he would have loved to have heard those words.

[@rmseatube]

I heard this nearly 40 years ago in the midst of some really nasty chemo therapy...thinking I would not survive it. I did and this song still brings tears to my eyes. It helped me survive am sure. Now I have two grown sons, and now I know I am here for a reason. Keep on dancing.

[@iamintheburg]

rmseatube You too : we would love to dance with you, but rest assured, we're in our own lives, dancing along to JB's words, while you and your sons dance, too. I am so blessed, to have youtube and to read such meaningful words from so many people like you who get the too-big-to-say-it blessing of Jackson Browne's words.

[@hopefuldeplorable6890]

God bless you sir, no one should have to bury they're children, the grief must be immense, keep your head up. Lost my wife of 40yrs and sometimes it's unbearable, but I know she'd want me to keep on keeping on, as I'm sure your babies would want, my prayers are with you.

[@ks8452]

Jackson Browne has been the one constant in my life that has gotten me through some pretty difficult times. He will be with me until the day I leave this earth and move on...

[@malcolmplatt3768]

In these politically charged days I find that I am in complete disagreement with his politics and yet, at least with him, I am able to separate the art from the artist. As with you, this man and his sublime music have been there for me since I first sat front row center stage at a concert in Memphis when I was 16 and was mesmerized. I've been mesmerized by these tunes ever since.

[@ediehope1825]

Amazing, isn't it? All of these years...

[@Chris-hh5sv]

Absolutely the best song writer/singer ever. I had no idea when I went to his concert in Sydney in the 70's (and I didn't know who he was at the time) how much affect his music would have on me over the years..It can make you relive your younger days, think of your sad days, make you happy and cry all at the same time. A truly amazing talented man. Love him so much

[@Nobuokasan]

Well said, fellow human being.✌

[@K6III450MHZ]

I don't know how a person has the ability to write such an exquisite piece as this. It's beyond me.

[@notreallysure9]

+K6III450MHZ I read a biography on David Geffen. David had met/found JB and was so impressed he invited him to live for free in his Hollywood Hills mansion and just write all day and be creative. Jackson invited many friends over and including what became the Eagles - Asylum Records is an American record label founded in 1971 by David Geffen and partner Elliot Roberts, who had previously worked as agents at the William Morris Agency. Founded specifically to provide a record contract for Jackson Browne, the label signed Linda Ronstadt, the Eagles,Tom Waits, Joni Mitchell, and Bob Dylan for two albums. It was taken over by Warner Communications (now the Warner Music Group) in 1972, and later merged with Elektra Records to become Elektra/Asylum Records.

To notreallysure9, sorry I'm so late on this. I love it when someone gives a history as to what they have to say. I strive as a newcomer to provide history also. It's great to see someone else committed to the truth about how this music came about, and the musical and historical significance.

[@ingeb3211]

When my brother died of a heart attack way too young; leaving behind 3 small children I played this song over and over again and especially the sentence “ there is nothing you can do about it anyway “ gave mee a feeling of acceptance.

This song was part of my transformation 15 years ago, at age 63. Grazie mille, Jackson Browne.

My Mother,and I both loved Jackson Browne...She passed away at just 69 years old on August 3rd of 2015 just a week,or so after my 43rd birthday on July 23rd of 2015...I knew this would be the most appropriate song too be played at her funeral because it pretty much sums up Life,and Death,and a Chance for Re-Birth with all the raw emotion,and genius of the greatest singer/songwriter ever,or at least for Her,and Myself,and also for another very important reason She Would've Loved It...

He then says that he has stage 4 pancreatic cancer. We just lost him this week. I'm forever grateful to have been able to see him and tell him I loved him. We don't often get that chance. This song hits so hard. Rest in Peace Kilby. You are so loved and will be missed terribly.

[@rosemarythyme6351]

I love Jackson's piano in this song. I lost my brother to a freak twister that flipped his car in AZ as he was traveling back from CA to TX. The lyrics "always keeping things real by playing the clown" fit him to a tee. Thank you, Jackson, for writing songs that we all can relate to in our lives.

I was telling my grandson on a drive to town the other day when one of the songs from that live album came on the radio, stay stay a little longer, I told him that I'd probably listen to it for 35 or 40 years but I had never really seen that band in concert, and so it was pretty cool and David lindley puts down his electric lap steel and walks over to the mic and sings that really super high part, so epic!!

makes me cry like a baby an d i dont even know why....

[@iamintheburg]

Bernard Catalinotto I'll tell you why you cry like a baby : because these are real, true words that are so very important and meaningful to anyone who's had a pulse, ever - because we can only gasp or sob or shiver at the total, big, Truth of Jackson Browne's words. I put these words onto my little brother's tombstone : he hadn't walked in the three years before he died. And that's why you cry like a baby - or why I do, anyways.

[@BerrysJSRD]

iamintheburg Jackson's songs make us think about uncomfortable things such as the topic of this song but in such a way as to give courage and a deeper understanding of what it is to be human. My family also posted words from this song on my brothers memorial. Tears of sorrow or tears of joy spring from the same well.

[@iamintheburg]

BerrysJSRD It's just a fountain of sorrow, isn't it ?????? Big and awesome and meaningful feeling - need - hope - It's what we can feel and long for, but probably cannot talk about. Too big and painful and personal and too scary for us mere survivors and sufferers. I really and truly am blessed that I had the good luck to find JB and the good sense to listen and take his words unto my life : enriched by his poetry and deep, caring human understanding. YOUR words, BerrysJSRD : ' tears of sorrow or tears of joy spring from the same well...' Your words reach me today. You have given me a gift, and I thank you very very much. Maybe I'm coming across as maudlin or over-dramatic, but WTF ? I am feeling the feeling and the sincerity of your words; so, thanks.

Anyways, I'm 61 and I have adored Jackson Browne since I was 14 and found my sister's "Saturate Before Using" album and heard Jamaica Say You Will. I MADE my kids listen to him, ha-ha, but I don't regret it. He is a poet, and even my Uncle Wick would have approved. He was a professor of English lit, a West Pointer, a Battle of the Bulge survivor, a painter and woodcarver, and favored Dylan Thomas, Gerard Manley Hopkins, William Butler Yeats, et al. He would have wept over Jackson Browne. I thank you, Jackson Browne, for keeping me sane through many great and terrific years of insanity and anxiety. Such a beautiful heart and mind, and God's gift to me! If for no other reason to be glad you lived, let me just say you made a difference in my life. Thank you.

Never knew the song mentions burying someone: "I can't help feeling stupid standing around, crying as they ease you down... There is one dance you'll dance alone." How many times I feel powerless in the face or seeming iron chains of Fate, also mentioned in the song. I don't know the burden of being a father, but I know the quiet certainty that some things cannot be fathomed, and yet they are real, whether you test them or not. Somethings are unchanging, in life. Death is a mystery.

[@siobhanonavon1989]

My best friend passed away about 15 years ago. She was an artist unlike any other. She also lived on the edge. At her memorial, maybe 50 people stood up and recalled their experiences with her, but I couldn't. The memorial was at a little evangelical church that had previously been the Green Gables Tavern. My friend and I were only familiar with it during those times. After the service, when most everyone was gone, I played this on their rickety old upright piano and the tears just flowed. He spoke of my friend without ever knowing her.

[@ukmailgmail2672]

For my big Sis, social worker caring for youngsters who had got off to a bad start in life. I wrote her eulogy and when I got to the lectern to read it I turned to face the people in the church, the doors at the back were wide open, the pews were completely full and all standing room taken and I could see people all the way down the street. Over 2000 people came. A life well lived and, as she always said, the party does not begin until I get there ... she died aged 55 and left her mark on everyone who ever met her. This song takes me back to that day every time. I miss her.

Keep a fire burning in your eye Pay attention to the open sky You never know what will be coming down I don't remember losing track of you You were always dancing in and out of view I must have thought you'd always be around Always keeping things real by playing the clown Now you're nowhere to be found I don't know what happens when people die Can't seem to grasp it as hard as I try It's like a song I can hear playing right in my ear That I can't sing, I can't help listening And I can't help feeling stupid standing 'round Crying as they ease you down 'Cause I know that you'd rather we were dancing Dancing our sorrow away (Right on dancing) No matter what fate chooses to play (There's nothing you can do about it anyway) Just do the steps that you've been shown By everyone you've ever known Until the dance becomes your very own No matter how close to yours another's steps have grown In the end there is one dance you'll do alone Keep a fire for the human race Let your prayers go drifting into space You never know what will be coming down Perhaps a better world is drawing near And just as easily it could all disappear Along with whatever meaning you might have found Don't let the uncertainty turn you around (The world keeps turning around and around) Go on and make a joyful sound Into a dancer you have grown from a seed somebody else has thrown Go on ahead and throw some seeds of your own And somewhere between the time you arrive and the time you go May lie a reason you were alive but you'll never know PS Great Song but the last line only applies to you if you never choose why you continue to live because only you can chose that for yourself.

This song was played when we said goodbye to my dad It has captured my heart and taken over my mind so moving and appropriate... amazing song

[@petercolgan513]

Found my way here while choosing songs to play at my dad's funeral. I want this played at mine, too. It's from one of my favorites, from an album that's one of my top 10 favs. It always brings tears of joy, a feeling of deep appreciation for this moment, and a willingness to loving accept everything that is.

For a Dancer beautiful song amazing writer, and musically the production is also brilliant

[@shockriddimsknowyourself6754]

I must say it is a compelling song that just speaks volumes ...

[@Scotsgrey13]

A masterpiece from a masterpiece of an album, Late For The Sky. Bless him, he had no hope of ever topping that album.

[@pjt759]

For every one I've loved and lost.

[@sweat_clapz6298]

this was played at my grandads funeral

What a hard song to listen to. So painful and joyful at the same time, which is really the ultimate challenge for humans. It made me cry when I was 20 and it makes me cry now. I can't believe Browne wrote this so young. The wisdom is breathtaking. I listened to it endlessly when it came out. He looked then like the twin of my former husband, who I wronged and still repent hurting. So lovely and interesting that the album cover is a reference to the Magritte painting with the evening sky and the streetlight. I'd do anything to go back to those days and dreams, a golden age of music and hope we lived, didn't we? As a poet I once knew said, "how we danced, do you remember?"

Reading through the peoples comments on here gives me hope for the future. Jackson Browne fans are some of the best people I’ve found

[@CLAUDIAYJOSE15]

I started listening to this song in august of 2015, when my friend Wayne Dyer passed.- is a feeling peace song for me.

[@DeJaMo42]

Often wondered why this man was never as big as Dylan or Van Morrison but then most people don't seem to listen that closely to lyrics, some of this mans' work is simply breath-taking...

[@daverungan3282]

Saw him in Auckland and looking forward to Sydney 🙏❤️☮️🇿🇦

[@davidpress8195]

Jackson Brown is one of the best. ever! listen to his astounding lyrics. Wow who does this anymore?? no one. thanks

[@MaynardGKrebs-gv4vy]

Listen to some of Shawn Mullins' stuff.....Song called "Shimmer" is a good place to start. I am 67, been a fan of Jackson for more years than I'd like to admit. LOL

[@Neilcrab]

When I lose someone close to me, this song comes to me.

[@JamesMiles619]

Sending good vibes your way, Neil. I'm to familiar with that feeling.

[@randycochrane7248]

Used to see Jackson at the Golden Bear in Huntington Beach CA in the 70s. Live shows were magic. Sigh.....i miss the brilliance of that era so much

[@dustinmatthewrice]

Thanks Mr. Browne.( tears)

[@theronwolf3296]

I first heard this song in the 70s. Some years ago wonderful woman, who happened to be a dancer, came into my life, but disappeared during the pandemic. The song took on new meaning.

[@The12thBrightestStar]

Somewhere between the time you arrive and the time you go. May lie a reason you were alive, but you'll never know.

[@brahimabarkha441]

I can be in an island alone with only this song for a comfort and I will be okay

[@kristinchase7651]

This is the song I want played. N for a cpl others I miss u...4 u💯

[@johnnyroadcrew3841]

I would like to listen to this at my funeral .. .. ..sadly I passed in 1947 .. .. ..

[@JobberBud]

I always think of John Belushi when I hear this song; the weekend he died, one of the local news stations in New York played it over a brief montage of clips. Very moving.
