Sean Kelly is right up there with the best lyricist ever. His songs have so much meaning and he plays his lady bright and clear. His music will be reinvested by himself only. A true sign of a incredible artist. Sean you’re one of my living heroes so there’s that. I hear your tunes in many other collaborations. You’re a beautiful soul. Thx guys

[@BenLoshin]

Well said, thanks for listening.

A great lyric about the inevitability of change. Change is not only good and not only bad, but it is the only constant in life. To think of the past is how we learn, how we laugh, how we mourn, how we smile, cry and love. It’s how we dream. A static world is a dark world.

[@rebekahquinlan]

This is one of my favorite songs

[@twray1835]

Sean Kelly's honest and sincere lyrics make this song all the more beautiful. Great ballad!

[@AllTheBestCO]

Sean's such a nice guy too.

[@gsmeeuwsen]

[@blakemoss7305]

We all age..nothing lasts for long...you guys absolutely killed it with this lovely tune, some 30 yrs on!!...I would've been groovin' there in the grass!!!

[@cyndabasch9453]

Thanks for posting this Ben. The Samples are one of my favorite bands since the very start. Not only are you local, but you have been inspiring on so many levels: great musician-ship, heart-felt lyrical content and kid friendly! Keep on Sampling...and I will too.

I don't know what it is about this song. Every time I hear it, the hairs on the back of my neck stand on edge. It's like beautiful gut-punch of emotions. This live recording is fantastic, @Ben Loshin. Thank you.

[@traddcrawford7473]

Love it!! Everytime I hear a Samples song.... smiles!! 2019!!!!

[@johnf5437]

I grew up with Sean's brother in Vermont, and love the Samples!

[@MichaelKPerry]

If you're talking about Liam, I knew him very well too! lol

[@moste322]

This wonderful song will forever speak the truth!

[@kokkari37]

Wow! Best live version of this song I've heard!

[@woodyburkhalter1]

long live the samples

[@firstinlastout1137]

The crowd is absolutely listless. Wow. Looks like a convalescent home.

[@greglaughlin961]

Who's on the ivories? Damn! And why aren't those people out of their chairs!? Ha! Great performance and recording of one of their best and most heart-touching ballads. Love you #TheSamples

[@BenLoshin]

Thanks for the kind words! Trevor Huster was on keys.

[@guilhermesonza3441]

[@t-f-l4827]

Another great song from the heart!

[@davegross9219]

They never played this live back when I was younger....

[@bobbyperu7745]

i'd feel like a preserved moose up there

[@noneforyoumgimbo]

I wish I had been here...

[@christopherrice8432]

Goosebumps activated

[@davidbridge8818]

I always thought"no room" was a dark album

[@AllTheBestCO]

One day you're famous and sitting on top of the world. The next day, you're playing yard parties. That's the music business, for ya.

[@timmalloy2008]

Most people are never famous. But your comment to this song is ironic.

[@davegross9219]

Is this crowd awesome or what?

[@usmuse]

Very Funny!

[@mattbraaten1320]

How are people not dancing or at least moving??

[@AllTheBestCO]

Weed. . . it's not just for breakfast anymore. Cough, cough

[@lovewe2302]

Most of the long time fans are old now. I used to have long hair back at the beginning in Boulder, often taking acid at their shows and dancing endlessly. I am in my fifties now. Bold. Sober except for the occasional doobie. Times have changed. Or should I say time just flew by .... but still so much fun to listen.

[@228Brendon]

“We’d like to dedicate this next tune to all you dead people out in the audience, tonight!!”

[@apieceofdirt4681]

One of the better written Samples songs. A lot of their lyrics are kinda weird but the music makes up for those silly lyrics. These guys were at their best in the 90’s but after everyone but Sean Kelly left their lineup has changed numerous times. Some for the better some not so. I look forward to hearing new music from them but a lot of their releases have been a rehash of their older songs restructured and repeated. Regardless the Samples have created some really great music.
