“These Days” with Nico, Jackson Browne Intro

One Comment

1. I’ve never heard that version of that song, and I was a massive Jackson Browne fan back in the 1970s. In addition, Gregg Allman recorded a very nice version of that song, too.

   Jackson Browne’s lyrics could get very deep. Here’s a verse from his song “Farther On”, in which he compares life to walking down a road, where your guardian angels are constantly walking along with you:

   Now the distance leads me farther on
   Though the reasons I once had are gone
   I keep thinking I’ll find what I’m looking for
   In the sand beneath the dawn

   But the angels are older
   They can see that the sun’s setting fast
   They look over my shoulder
   At the vision of paradise, contained in the light of the past
   And they lay down behind me
   To sleep beside the road till the morning has come
   Where they know they will find me
   With my maps and my faith in the distance, moving farther on
