Song of the Day - Going Going Gone (Garcia Version)

"I've just reached a place 

Where the willow don't bend

There's not much more to be said 

It's the top of the end

I am going 

I am going 

I am gone..."

Days Between - Bob Weir (2012)

Days Between 

Written by Robert Hunter and Jerry Garcia

This song wasn't meant to be sang by Jerry, it was meant to be sang in remembrance of him <3

"There were days

and there were days

and there were days I know

when all we ever wanted

was to learn and love and grow

Once we grew into our shoes

we told them where to go

walked halfway around the world

on promise of the glow

stood upon a mountain top

walked barefoot in the snow

gave the best we had to give

how much we'll never know we'll never know..."

New Speedway Boogie - Grateful Dead (1970)

One way or another, this darkness got to give...

Weather Report Suite - 1974

"Winter rain, now tell me why, Summers fade, and roses die.

The answer came; the wind and rain.

Golden hills, now veiled in grey, Summer leaves have blown away

Now what remains? The wind and rain

...

Winter grey and falling rain, we'll see summer come again,

Darkness falls and seasons change (gonna happen every time).

Same old friends the wind and rain, Summers fade and roses die,

You'll see summer come again, Like a song that's born to soar the sky."

Gravity

Gravity is working against me

And gravity wants to bring me down

Oh I'll never know what makes this man

With all the love that his heart can stand

Dream of ways to throw it all away

Oh, gravity is working against me

And gravity wants to bring me down

Oh twice as much ain't twice as good

And can't sustain like one half could

It's wanting more

That's gonna send me to my knees

Oh gravity, stay the hell away from me

Oh gravity has taken better men than me- how can that be?

Just keep me where the light is

"You breathed on me and made my life a richer one to live, when I was deep in poverty you taught me how to give. Dried the tears up from my dreams and pulled me from my hole, quenched my thirst and satisfied the burning in my soul."

BOB DYLAN
