hauntedsong. Another one. Jackson has mastered the technique of crying in song (without sobbing). And after all these years I think the audience has finally caught on. At about 3:49 Jackson starts the cry and his face begins to look solemn ( and not in a hammy way) . The only way he cries in song about the death of his wife can be described as such : At 3:49 he starts the word "I" sung as "Aye ......... and continues for approximately one minute. Perhaps, it sounds more like a wail.
When I saw him at Red Rocks in 2024 I didn't know what this was about. Now I know. I hope he comes back to Colorado. He is so good.

Thanks for posting. Awesome video. Awesome song. Awesome show. We saw Jackson Browne in St. Louis on 6/25/18. Highly recommended.
this song was written but published 10 years after the death of his wife, Phylis Major.
