This version of this song is one of the most hauntingly beautiful things I’ve ever heard.....

I agree. I heard it four years ago live at the Blue Note in Columbia, Missouri and have not been able to get it out of my head since. So glad I was finally able to find it so I can listen to it again.

The way Bruce changed this song is a testament to not " phoning it in" and it was a way for him to maintain musical integrity. I realize some fans need the original just like the record....but if you love Bruce Hornsby, then this is exactly why we love him. He can do what he wants, because what he does is so amazing words cannot describe it.

I have been following Bruce since his days playing locally in Virginia in 1978. The first time I saw his band they played jazz, pop, rock, funk, and originals. Definitely the best local bar band I ever heard anywhere. I said at the time if he doesn't make it in the music business there is something wrong. It took 8 years until The Way It Is hit and history was changed. I don't think there is a more versatile, talented, and well schooled songwriter/musician on the planet. He does it for the music.. not fame and money. A pure artist. I have listened to a lot of James Taylor recently. Not sure if they have but I would love to see a collaboration between those two artists.

Considering Bruce Hornsby has been singing since the seventies, his vocal tones are still as beautiful. His virtuoso piano playing is equally as good. Wow, this master of music never ceases to amaze. He is sadly very underrated. Thank you, Bruce, for your wonderful compositions that enrich the music in our lives.

This is actually the way it was originally written, in a D Dorian chord structure. The recording heads thought that it was too dark, so he transcribed into a major key. Trying to find source for this.

How does he do it? How does he keep re-inventing songs & making them just as good if not better than the original? 1986 Mandolin Rain is amazing but live versions over the decades have really taken it to a new level. This song with an orchestra feels so right & so brilliant. Beautiful.

During the intro, I wondered where exactly you were going, Bruce. I was in anticipation. But the very MOMENT I heard the chorus phrase that gives a nod to the Ricky Skaggs / Bruce Hornsby album version of ‘mando’, I immediately put it back to the beginning to see how you set this all up. Even when noodling or improvising there is no doubt your musical mind knows the direction it’s heading. What is it about minor keys that make the hair on my arms stand up? Bruce, please never stop reinventing your music, never stop reimagining. I still can’t sit down at the piano and play the Aria from Bach’s Goldberg Variations without thinking of the version of ‘The Way It Is’ you put on the Intersections album set… You are loved, admired and respected.

I took my mother to see Bruce and Jackson Brown perform both solo and duo without a band at The Mosque in Richmond Virginia many years ago. We still call it by that name even though the city changed it after 911. Both Bruce and Jackson played alone for a while, but then came together for a few songs. Bruce was simply unbelievably expressive and imaginative in his spontaneously improvised versions of his hits, like in this video.
