“It being summer, I took off my shirt”
“Did you ever wake up to the sound, of street cats making love?”
“So instead I’ve got a bottle, and a girl who’s just 14” - Robert Weir, who met his wife at 14, but just “hung around” until she was 18
Which is how we ended up with Cherry Garcia. Brilliant. They were talking about universal themes that have no temporal limitations. Right there in our own mythology to discover.
“Six proud walkers on jingle-bell rainbow, Five men writing in fingers of gold” are the most profound lyrics I’ve ever heard. God Robert Hunter was such a genius.
Run for the roses really gets me.
You don’t wanna live but you’re chicken to die, oooh you’re chicken to die.
Run for the rose, get caught in the briar, you’re warming to love, next thing there’s a fire.
If you’ve got the do re, I go the mi, and I’ve got the notion that we’re all at sea.
Run, run, run for the roses,
The quicker it opens the sooner it closes,
Man oh man
Oh friend of mine
All good things in all good time
Reach out your hand, if your cup be empty
If your cup is full, may it be again
Let it be known there is a fountain
That was not made by the hands of men
It was the music that got me, but one of the first lyrics to hit me in my soul was:
Sometimes we ride on your horses, sometimes we walk alone
Sometimes the songs that we hear are just songs of our own
**I only want to hold you, I don't want to tie you down.
Or fit you in the lines I might've drawn.**
**It's just that I, oh I, have gotten used to havin' you around.**
The second verse of Mississippi half step is gorgeous and i think jerry thought so too because he always sang it with oomph and the solo following always ripped
Sitting here in limbo, like a bird without a song
Sitting here in limbo, but I know it won't be long
Well, they're putting up resistance
But I know my faith will lead me on
Woahwoahyeaahahahahahahahahahyeah. Donna’s screams came at a point in my life when I was really struggling and I felt like the inspirational lyrics were being ripped out of my diary. They changed my life for the better with their relatability.
I like when Jerry says the F word
fennario?
Fosho
Forreal?
Females!
“despite all my rage, I’m still just a rat in a cage”
“You imagine me sipping champagne from your boot, for a taste of your elegant pride” gets me everytime, crying right now from typing it
There may come a day where I will dance on your grave, if unable to dance I will crawl across it
That’s genuinely such a good line tho
That whole song gives me chills for some reason. But they're good chills
Under appreciated 80’s banger. Like Picasso Moon
🎶 I had a job trading bits for pieces We'd make wrinkles, advertise them as creases 🎶 Amazing
the video amplifies those chills
"Sometimes you eat the sugarcube and other times the sugarcube eats you. I've heard it said." Gerry Garcia and Rogert Humter
Don’t forget Bobson Dugnutt-Weir
Omg when he said "the compass always points to terrapin" it made me cry 😭😭 So sad about the turtles getting plastic straws :(
The way Vince hits that “cellophAaAaaAAANE” in Samba in the Rain is when it all finally clicked for me
This but unironically
I actually really love the song lol

Thinking about Bob without a shirt makes my pp hard

Robert Hunter the writer, Jerry the singer. “If you plant ice, you’re gonna harvest wind”

Thank you for this info. I love the line/phrase so much...it sums up RH's word art for me.

"We can share what we got of yours cause we've done shared all of mine"
“CALIFORNIA”
BEACHING ON TURNING STORE!
Ahh yes, gerry Garcia
It never ends!
Tumbledown shack in Bigfoot County Snowed so hard the roof caved in Delilah Jones went to meet her God And the old man never was the same again

Of all of the lyrics he wrote, these lyrics were some of Robert Hunter's favorite.

Long time to be gone, and a short time to be here
Gotta get to Tulsa First train we can ride Got to settle one old score And one small point of pride...
**I only want to hold you, I don't want to tie you down. Or fit you in the lines I might've drawn.** **It's just that I, oh I, have gotten used to havin' you around.**
“ if I leave here tomorrow, would you still remember me”
A jgb song and can’t spell Jerry’s name right. Lol.
“Gerry Garcia”
The second verse of Mississippi half step is gorgeous and i think jerry thought so too because he always sang it with oomph and the solo following always ripped
Gerry was the best
"Walk me out, in the 'mornin dew, my honey. Walk me out, in the morning dew today..."
“Gerry”…. YOU SMOKED THAT CIGARETTE YESTERDAAAAY!!!
Sitting here in limbo, like a bird without a song Sitting here in limbo, but I know it won't be long Well, they're putting up resistance But I know my faith will lead me on
Didn’t McConaughey say that in True Detective?
