…And go to work each day
And when the evening rolls around
I’ll go on home and lay my body down
And when the morning light comes streaming in
I’ll get up and do it again
Amen
Say it again
Amen
— Jackson Browne, from “The Pretender” (1976)

- Post Title & Inspiration: Aldous Huxley: “It’s dark because you are trying too hard. Lightly child, lightly. Learn to do everything lightly. Yes, feel lightly even though you’re feeling deeply. Just lightly let things happen and lightly cope with them.”
such a classic of the rhythm of life
timeless tune…
That’s the long and short of it….
Yep
Like it….
There is a huge difference in music styles between Europe and the US – this is an excellent example of these different tastes. When I lived for a short while in Canada, I got used to that style of music, but although we bought LPs then that ‘trend’ didn’t stick with me. What I find so fascinating is that we all can agree to just simply LOVE MUSIC – whatever style, direction, age. It makes us happy, sad, brings us forward in the day – so: Approved! 😉
Well, that’s good!
Ahhh… what wonderful memories you awaken with this post.
It snowed last night. Thanks for the warmth in my heart.
Yes!
This is so cute. First time hearing it. And I thought it’s just another Go to work, and repeat the next morning song.
Paint by numbers, wow…
“First time I’m hearing it.” That just can’t be possible.
First time!
Loving it. Thank you!
Wow. We ARE from totally different planets.
So many “planets” out there! And I’m only talking about the ones on Planet Earth. I even have a planet of my own.
I have NO DOUBT you have a planet of your own. NO DOUBT
And I know you mean that the good way!
Love Jackson Browne and CSN – together, just a bonus! I love how musicians can come together like this. Music is the great unifier.
And yeah… The Pretender – we all are to some extent, aren’t we?
1) mostly you. 2) can u believe Sawsan has never heard of Jackson Browne?
1) Pfft! 2) Yeah, I can believe it. But hey, she’s been introduced now…
“I wanna see you holding out your light
I wanna see you light the way
Beyond the sirens in the broken night
Beyond the sickness of our day
And after all we’ve come to live with
I wanna know if you’re ok
I wanna think it’s gonna be alright
It’s just a little soon to say”

Reblogged this on It Is What It Is and commented:
Jackson Browne … “I’ll get up and doo it again!” … don’t we all!!
The Captain really likes Jason Brown’s songs, his voice, his talent. But who is that old man in the video at the end?
You are joking, right!
Yes, I am.
I meant to say Jackson Brown, not Jason Brown. Sorry.
Yep.
Jackson Browne has been my go to singer-songwriter since I was fourteen. I won’t tell you how long ago that was. Thanks for sharing it David!
Smiling. With you Ilona…. ☺️
