Fare you well, my honey.

Fare you well, my only true love.

Have flown, except you alone...

John Mayer Talks Magical Dead & Company Tour & Sends Respects to Jerry Garcia

"This tour was magical. This band flourished in so many ways. To learn each others' moves as people and musicians, so as to support each other on stage and off made every night a beautiful adventure. I grew up a lone wolf in a bedroom practicing my guitar, and all I ever really craved was community. The community I feel now between my brothers and sisters in this band and crew, and the connection between everyone in the audience from the front row to the back, to those who listened from couches and cars, to those who come up to me and say more with their eyes than their words in their attempt to tell me what this means to them - I will never forget it, because I will never stop feeling it. We're together now. I'm honored to be one of many musicians in the larger community of the GDEU (Grateful Dead Extended Universe.) And it must be said - to Jerry: what a light you are that I could bask in your shadow. ❤️⚡️🌹💀 love you all.." -John Mayer

Black Throated Wind - Bob Weir (2011)

"The black-throated wind keeps on pouring in.

And it speaks of a life that passes like dew.

It's forced me to see that you've done better by me,

Better by me than I've done by you.

What's to be found, racing around,

You carry your pain wherever you go.

Full of the blues and trying to lose

You ain't gonna learn what you don't want to know.

So I give you my eyes, and all of their lies

Please help them to learn as well as to see

Capture a glance and make it a dance

Of looking at you looking at me..."
