1. I found it ironically striking that this simple acoustic version packs far more |
|
of a wallop with the passion in his voice than the original.
Or maybe I'm just paying greater attention now and the atrocities are that much more colossal. Not sure.

4. I don't know which it is either, but it does certainly hit harder |
|
for me, too. Back then, when the original came out, I wasn't all that interested in the politics of the song, so it could be my just paying more attention that makes it so much more powerful now.
When I first saw this video (it's been on his website ever since the acoustic cd came out, I think), I got chills, and I STILL get them.

6. How can it feel, this wrong |

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCl2bxoxSxQOhh, can't anybody see We've got a war to fight Never found our way Regardless of what they say
How can it feel, this wrong From this moment How can it feel, this wrong
Storm.. in the morning light I feel No more can I say Frozen to myself
I got nobody on my side And surely that ain't right And surely that ain't right
Ohh, can't anybody see We've got a war to fight Never found our way Regardless of what they say
How can it feel, this wrong From this moment How can it feel, this wrong
How can it feel, this wrong From this moment How can it feel, this wrong
Ohh, can't anybody see We've got a war to fight Never found our way Regardless of what they say
How can it feel, this wrong From this moment How can it feel, this wrong

7. This song is a masterpiece and Jackson Browne is a genius of heart. |
|
Not a bad composer, either.
Thank you for posting it.

9. His new CD is a real treasure, |
|
acoustic vol. 1. Really special, really beautiful, and obviously deserving support.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVkoYGlthH0I hurt myself today to see if I still feel I focus on the pain the only thing that's real the needle tears a hole the old familiar sting try to kill it all away but I remember everything what have I become? my sweetest friend everyone I know goes away in the end and you could have it all my empire of dirt
I will let you down I will make you hurt
I wear this crown of thorns upon my liar's chair full of broken thoughts I cannot repair beneath the stains of time the feelings disappear you are someone else I am still right here
what have I become? my sweetest friend everyone I know goes away in the end and you could have it all my empire of dirt
I will let you down I will make you hurt
if I could start again a million miles away I would keep myself I would find a way

14. Jackson's lyrics have captured my heart since I was 12 years old. |
|
I think the power of his words in many of his songs, resemble the times we are experiencing now. I believe they will do so, throughout all time. This video in particular is extremely potent. I've heard this song over and over again, and what catches me is are the last two words..."there are"... He is saying it "they're REALLY ARE!", his soul screams for people to understand this is real. We sit in our comfort and can't wrap our heads around the fact this is real.. he cries this is happening... "There are" lives in the balance. Today it may not be ours (directly), but those lives are exactly equal to ours, in every way.
I loved the performance at a protest (link provided in this thread, ty). In his intro to the song, he said, It's an old song, and unfortunately, it's a song still needing to be sung. (paraphrasing). He added another verse at the end.
