One of the most underrated singers..ever.. So many of his songs cut right to the core of who you are or how you feel.

Legend

This song is such sweet deception. There's this catchy, stylish, pop-fortyish, uptempo music with a great dance-friendly rhythm - steady drums, cool bass line, sizzling (but not searing) lead guitar... And then, those lyrics... Those dig-right-down-into-your-chest-and-expose-your-heart lyrics. Words that are the antithesis of the bright-and-cheerful music. Words that paint this beautiful, poignant, pain-drenched picture of a life and a love that were lost. What rare artistry...

This is truly brilliant song writing and musical artistry. Takes me back to 1986 when I was 27 years old. I love this song, so much emotion, love and turmoil. Art like this no longer exists, what a shame art in our society has deteriorated so much.

Its 2024, My how ⏱️-🕊️'s In the shape of a ❣️-All 🕰️-Classic, 🌎-Legendry legend-🎼..Mr.Browne..🌄..

something so down to earth about this guy....his voice is so very smooth and natural....easy to love it...

Jackson Browne is a timeless artist every song that he has done is like a movie you just never want it to end.

From my 17 years old til now 63 years old always with Jackson Browne ❤ ♥ 💖 💕

A hauntedly beautiful song. Brown is iconic...

❤❤ One of my favorites

I never ever heard this song and I love Jackson Browne! GREAT song. Such an amazing singer/songwriter! We are lucky to have him.

The more I listen, the more I understand. I live outside of L.A. and I don't know why it took me so long! Such powerful words. Glad I got to see him a year ago with James Taylor.

This still gives me chills. I lived thru a relationship just like this. I cant believe i survived it. The emotional twist between two people can sometimes just not be fixable. Thirty years later i am grateful i learned from it, appreciated the love we created and was able to move on without him.

One of the best singer songwriters of the 70s . I still think the Eagles stole Take It Easy from Jackson it was such a huge hit and Jackson wrote it and later recorded it. If anyone deserves to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice it is this man. Awesome music 100 years from now he is a big part of rock history. He did the world such a big favor by singing some of his songs and not standing in the shadows and letting other bands take all the credit and all the glory that goes with these outstanding songs. He is definitely one of my favorite rock artists of all time and forever.

Love this song. You see the pain in his eyes when he starts singing.

Jackson's song writing is brilliant...

Superb. One of his BEST ever...I could listen to it over and over. Its written about his first wife, Phyllis, and its as great NOW as it was in 1986. Love your sound, Mr. Jackson Browne ,...its REAL music..since 1970's something....

Brings back some smiles and a few tears......

HQ Thankyou the love of my life ❤❤❤❤

Introducing my four and seven year old Granddaughters to Jackson Browne. Seeing some success.

song writing u don't hear much these days, I appreciate Jackson's song writing its straight from the heart, we need more of his songs xoxo Jackson! much appreciated!

In my 80 s and still listen to the Multitalented Jackson Browne.

I forgot how much I loved this 1986!!

Jackson Browne I Love You.

U have to wonder how cathartic this song is for JB every time he sings it.

Memories...sweet and sad ones..

I too dropped a locket into a wall once . . . One of great ensemble sounds in rock history. . .

I'm a Motown fan, but I love this song, very heartfelt

Well, I have to admit "JB"s never on my radar. That is the great thing about KZfaq, I can rediscover great music that I may have missed!!!!! He is a great Songwriter!!! :)

I have a ruby necklace that I wear because of the great importance, Your words really says it all. It is oval not in the shape of a heart, but just below it a loving heart that beats. This was the first song I ever hear you sing. I missed out on the time when you were a household name. There are other songs I like very much. Life changes on a heart beat.😢

I don't know why, but this song brings tears to my eyes.

The man can do no wrong excellent

JB for sure is one of the greats.

WOW Outstanding tune.......Thanks Jackson.......

This song takes me back to a relationship that was so good and so bad at the same time. Brutally honest

A great song made even better in a live version. This is about as tight any performance is ever going to fucking get.

🌹love this 💟

I love him ❤😍

possibly the best version of this tune for me!!! thanks jb and you!

Such a talented an amazing guy

great musician..my favorite..

Great!

Saw him sing this live twice one word transcendent

Great singer

Omg can I feel any more for this man omg

This is from his year 2000 DVD 'Going Home'. Good stuff.... mixture of old clips, interviews, live versions of songs etc.

Great song writer

I agree with him, I also call them records 😊

A well played song on the radio...wish I could find more utube video with him performing live like this one...songs you never heard on the radio....

Such bitter sweet song writing from one of the best! It's real and truthful.

Great song

Written for his first wife who committed suicide. He found her in a hotel room after his show. (My interpretation from reading some of his biographies). One of his best.

Simply Brilliant!!!!!! ManyThanx From Costa Mesa Ca!!!!!,,

thanks this version is the best. Peace!

One of my favs, my hubby bought me a ruby necklace in the shape of a heart!! Shortly after this song came out💕

Happy birthday Jackson, you're a genious

memories............this song brings me.

Great performance of this classic!

Speaking so loud to me my whole life since it’s release❤️🫂♥️. I Loved this from my first hearing it!❤. So many phases in my life, these lyrics meant different things!🙏🤲

A break up. The album was released while he was out of town. He knew I wouldn’t be there when he came back. On the stand beside the bed I left a bracelet with a pendent in the shape of a heart and this song cued up on the cassette tape. No hate or hurt. Just sadness that it was gone. The song helped - a lot.

Timeless!

Can't go wrong with JB. No way, no how. -John H.

Just a perfect song. The writing. The emotion. The depth of connection... I was 24 when I first heard this. And it changed me.

i like this Song

CLASS

I wish I could see this whole interview with the song.

Josh, I'm exactly the same! Peace, brother. Have a great life.

It's on netflix instant right now.

If you like this one or Sky Blue and Black, look up Just Like Forever. Only found it here on KZfaq. It is another real gem. Don’t think he has ever recorded it.

Lives in the balance

Soooo precious

Nice song ..after 20 yr again

Amen

Heartbreaking.

its on DVD and itunes now. you can order through Jackson's website or pretty much any major online store (amazon, etc. its even on Netflix now I beleive) it's well worth looking into- great preformances as well as some commentary by Browne and others

I agree 100%

breathtaking

This Forever is for My Lovely Ronnie. May Your Demons Now Be Gone 06/16/65-01/06/16

mmmmmmmm, feels so good......

Anyone notice that the "Riffs" in the Best of video version are substitued here with "Breaches and Faults"?

Oh it's very much JB.

On Netflix- This piece gets to me

i see 3 person have no "heart"

this documentary is on netflix

Another song, I really like, but didn't realize who it was.

This appears to be pulled from a Documentary. Anyone know what the title of the larger work is?

Great song under played still 1 of J.B.s greatest r not they all! chacka69

THANKS!!!

it is available for instant viewing on netflix

😊

That voice, it's like butt-ah...

Does anyone else hear a slight similarity between JB's vocal tone and Elvis Costello's?

Great backup band! When and Where was this performance?

Is that Valerie Carter on backing vocals? (See 3:12.)

If you'll give me a shout I can tell you where to get it...

I thought this was about his first wife who took her life?

the replacement guitar riff didn't add to the song. I'd say they created too much empty space with that lingering odd tone floating out there that never resolved to anything.

Starah, the version of Further On that's on this video series is like no other version I've ever heard. It's almost haunting, even with the interview interruptions. (Search: Littkerl Farther On)
