The boys of summer is his best solo song in my opinion.

" These times are so uncertain, there's a yearning undefined, and people filled with rage. We all need a little tenderness, how can love survive in such a graceless age." It was so true in 1989... exponentially more true in 2024

Be careful with Don Henley and the Eagles. They will copyright you quick ✌️

A favorite of mine. Don wrote this song along with J.D. Souther and Mike Campbell of Tom Petty fame. Don said of the song that it took 30 years to write and 4 minutes to sing

End of the Innocence, last worthless evening and New York minute or all from the same album all need to be listened to

This song and its entire album changed my perspective on life. Don Henley is a master of his craft and a brilliant lyricist. Check out New York Minute next. So insightful and beautiful.

His voice has a way of making you feel melancholy and definitely reflecting on everything. Don Henley is a master of that.

One of my favorites! "The Boys of Summer" and "New York Minute" are a couple more exceptional tunes from him.

IN A NEW YORK MINUTE/BOYS OF SUMMER/THE LAST RESORT/WASTED TIME all great songs from Henley with and without the Eagles.

This is a grown-up's song. It's about forgiveness, even if you don't love me anymore. Letting go is hard.

@helenespaulding7562 2 ай бұрын

One of my favorites from this period. I loved Don Henley’s solo work in the 80’s. The 80’s saw successful solo careers by many members of famous bands: Don Henley, Phil Collins (Genesis) Robert Plant (Zeppelin) Ozzy Ozborne (Black Sabbath) Steve Winwood (Traffic) Dave Mason (Traffic) Sting ( The Police) to name some of them.

This song still brings my ex fiance to my mind. i was just finishing basic training in army and she broke our engagement. I was crushed and this song was just making it big. Life turned out to the wonderful marriage i have now but the feelings from those days were very real and still occupy a small crevasse in my soul. The great news is my wife shapes my world and also my ex-fiance contacted me many years ago to say she regrets her choices so i am sad for her. So this song is like many others...a piece of the soundtrack to my life. Don Henley is world class song writer.

One of Don Henley’s finest pieces from his solo work post-Eagles. Brilliant album that features many phenomenal songs, including The End Of The Innocence, I Will Not Go Quietly (with Axl Rose), The Last Worthless Evening and New York Minute. A truly adult album released in a time where music was changing. He’s an amazing lyricist and his timeless voice always finds a way to touch your soul.

This song gives good advice about how to move past the pain. The key is forgiveness, which is more for your sake than the people that have hurt you.

The Eagles are the sentimental best. Their music will play on forever. Don Henley did well as a solo artist. One of his best was Boys Of Summer. Maybe you could react to that song?😉 Stay safe

Something of a specialty for Don Henley, how he contrasts something deeply personal with something more universal or even political. A brilliant lyricist in many ways. He really hit his stride the last couple of albums with the Eagles, but his solo work Building the Perfect Beast and Heart of the Matter. In songs like The End of the Innocence he really shows off his ability to talk about something nostalgic then spread that to a big international political protest, and then back to the personal. He makes you think about the world in a personal way.

I was going through my divorce at the time and this song and a couple of others seemed to sum up why our marriage was over. I survived, but my heart was broken badly. This song helped me get through it all. Great song! TY Don Henley. 👍

@sonofjay817 2 ай бұрын

This is one of my favorite songs of all time that has flown under the radar for far too long. Its extremely profound. It deals with one of the profoundest concepts that there is..."the flesh will get weak, and the ashes will scatter so I'm thinking about, forgiveness".

@byrnez2755 2 ай бұрын

If you like this one... I highlight recommend his bigger hit - "The end of the innocence"

Fantastic lyrics: What are these voices outside love's open door, that make us throw off our contentment and beg for something more?

This album in particular had some very well written songs with very meaningful lyrics. Aside from this one, End of the Innocence, Last Worthless Evening and New York Minute come to mind.

Writing like that is a true gift. When writers like this are asked how they do it they really can't explain how it happens.

Henley wrote the lyrics with J.D. Souther, who was a frequent collaborator with the Eagles. The song is about a man who finds out his former lover has found someone else, which is exactly what they were both going through at the time. In our interview with J.D. Souther, he explained: "At that particular moment it was an easy song for both of us to work on, because we had both, within the last year or so, broken up with our fiancées. They had both taken up with somebody else and that's not easy to hear. The line "The flesh will get weak and the ashes will scatter" is a biblical reference, coming from Matthew 26:41: "The spirit is willing enough, but the flesh is weak." Peace out

Don Henley had a lot of great songs on his solo albums. Boys of Summer is probably most well known, my favorite. Of course, you could go a whole different direction and react to Mojo Nixon's "Don Henley Must Die", Mojo's always good for a laugh. Henley got up and sang it with him live once, nice attitude.

Of course I've heard this before, but now that I hear it again, it sounds like a confession and a request for forgiveness for past transgressions. Sad and tender at the same time. Thanks for giving me a chance to hear it again. 👍

The Eagles Hell Freezes Over version of Henley's The Heart of the Matter live is AMAZING... the harmonization! Link below... not great video quality, but audio is good. Near impossible to find as it always gets taken down... enjoy it while you can: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iZupjLCdp9TDgI0.html

I'm not sure who provided the lyrics, but a good many of them were incorrect. So it helps to be able to listen closely, because Henley enunciates his words pretty well.

Please listen to the new release by David Phelps of the old song from 1977, “Dust in the Wind”. The sheer artistry of this version is breathtaking. Those are his two daughters singing harmony with him.
