More on Jackson Browne~

 After I posted the vid by Jackson Browne, 'These Days,' on Facebook,  I had this conversation with my sister there!

~~~
Joy says:


I still am fond of his music too :)



June says:


Joy,


Well, I'm more than just fond of it!

LOL-


When I get into his music again after not 
listening to it for awhile-
I just want to hear more and more....



Remember, you and I discovered
 Dan Fogelberg and Jackson Browne 
around the same time...

 ...We would listen 
to them a lot when you came 
to visit those summers-from Pa) 
But, I must say, it's his earlier 
music I liked the best!


I didn't like him becoming so political 
with his lyrics in some of his later albums...
and in fact his popularity became less, 
the more political he became!


As song writers go- there's none better-IMO.


(or probably none as good!)


I was so happy he got inducted into
 the Rock Music Hall of Fame 
for songwriter in recent years-
it was well deserved!

Joy says:


Sure I remember. thanks to Chris :) 

          


 I think J B's politics and probably his 
other beliefs are incompatible with mine -
but anyway, he didn't ask me to marry him - 

LOL !!



His songs are wonderfully constructed and performed, 
but many are 'downbeat'. 
Enough depression going around in real life
(for me)

But, yeah, he's still good ; I love him!



June says:
Just realistic, IMO_
and I like that about his music!


LOL- 

If I start getting too depressed
 I back off for awhile.


Honestly, I can't think of anyone 
who has written more meaningful songs 
than Jackson Browne.

lol- and PS-He didn't ask ME to marry him either!


(His loss-haha!!)




Joy says:  
‎:D

:)  So- one more Jackson Browne song for today!
(Then I promise I'll back off for awhile- before we all get way too deep in depression!)
To me his lyrics reflect real life and -sorry- but life does have sad moments!

Lyrics:

Too Many Angels

Jackson Browne

There's an angel on a ribbon

Hanging from the armoire door

There's a Cupid with his feet crossed

On the bird cage by the door

There's a baby angel drummer

His eyes are open wide

And two more tiny cherubs

On the mantle side by side

Too many angels

Have seen me crying

Too many angels

Have heard you lying

There are photographs of children

All in their silver frames

On the window sills and tabletops

Lit by candle flames

And upon their angel faces

Life's expectations climb

Where the moment has preserved them

From the ravages of time

Too many angels

Have seen me crying

Too many angels

Have heard you lying

Bring the morning on

Voices sing of day

I want to step out in the morning sun

Through the flood of tears

I want this darkness gone

Your sweet face appears

These apparitions coming one by one

But there's no end in sight

Only the dead of night

And too many angels

Too many angels

Have seen me crying

Too many angels

Have heard you lying

Too many angels

Bring the morning on

Voices sing of day

I want to step out in the morning sun

Through the flood of tears

I want to greet the dawn

Cast away these fears

Forget about the things we could have done

Bring the morning on

Voices sing of day

I want to watch the children as they run

Through the broken years

I want this darkness gone

Your sweet face appears

These apparitions coming one by one

But there's no end in sight

Only the dead of night

And too many angels

Junie
