    I don’t want to depress you folks, but I am 70 years old and you’re playing some of my all-time favorite hits. I am a jazz guitar player whose biggest influence for 20 years was Becker and Fagan… Steely Dan. I have two great grandchildren and a granddaughter who is older than all of you. You are truly an inspiration to a guy who’s lost a lot of faith in the younger generations. Don’t count your elders out… I still play my Tele's and Jazzmaster 3 to 4 hours a day. Check out “Aja” (Asia), by Steely Dan and both of Donald Fagan‘s solo albums… “Nightfly” and, “Kamikeriad” (If you’re not sophisticated enough for these albums yet, you soon will be.) I would love to see you guys do a cover of “Rosalinda‘s Eyes“ by Billy Joel. Bless you all and keep up the incredible work. 🙏✝️🎸

      As a third-generation grateful dead fan, there is nothing depressing about this. My grandad grew up with the grateful dead and is still a part of a band to this day. so, this kind of news if nothing new to me, because it's great music either way.

    Wow great cover! When this song came out in 1985 I was 17, running away from home and driving across the country to California to start a new life. This song played non-stop on the radio stations across the entire country, and it became my anthem. 'Welcome to your life, there's no turning back...Help me make the most of Freedom, and of pleasure' It's been an amazing journey, I'm still here in California! So great to see teenagers enjoying and appreciating this incredible song the way I did at this stage of life. Life is not a race, it's an adventure

      @lisavan504 3 роки тому +4

      @maha77 Glad you made it to a better life in California! Very brave at 17! Love that this Tears for Fears song became your personal anthem and love how music; a particular song can transport one back to a place, time and feeling we might otherwise have forgotten about.

      When this came out in ‘85, I was 36. Guess how old I am now. Oh, by the way, his is my favorite TFF tune. Thanks for doing such a great job with it!

      Interesting. I came to the US from Europe in 1990 and on the flight over I listened to "Sowing The Seeds of Love" by TfF maybe 15 times. Met my wife here, my children were born here... and 34 years later, I still live here. "Sowing The Seeds of Love" is my anthem for my "new" American life.

    Is there something different about this song, rhythmically? It appears on the surface to be 4/4 time with the bass and drums, but it seems like something is syncopated so that its actually more complex than simple “four time”…..(?)(That high-hat)…
