My best friend's daughter died from cancer at 17. She was a cheerleader and she was loved by everyone. I sat at her funeral crying and this song came on the radio 😢. I'll never forget how beautiful and strong that young girl was ❤
@@peggyford108 being a parent myself, with a daughter that will turn 1 year old in 5 days, it's amazing how differently things hit you as a parent. I can't even watch tv shows or movies where something happens to a baby/kid anymore. I watched 2 of my mom's siblings bury their kids when I was a teenager and it was hard on me as a kid losing my best friends, but to look at it from a parental standpoint now, it's unreal. I can see why you'd have to get up the nerve to go to a funeral. Hits a little too close to home!
I've seen him live twice, but unfortunately didn't get to hear this song, which is one of my all time favorites. Why you might ask? Well Jackson Browne along with bands such as CSNY play two part concerts wherever they go. Part one is simply astounding belting out the hits that almost always elicit some kind of emotional reaction. Then there is part two. Jackson because he has never held a real job in his life, no knock on musicians here) realizes he knows far more than the rest of us dumbies on every thing political. And part two is him singing songs bashing the president and the like. I've seen him lose a third of his audience. CSNY was even worse. Instead of just playing the bands hits, the second half showcased a song called Fuck George Bush while they shouted that for 30 mins. Each band member got to do their own song and everyone was an unknown political song. So please Jackson, before you die, could you leave politics at the door and play our favorites instead. I would love to hear the Pretender, sad I've never heard it live. .
Nice! Very nice groove and a thumping bottom section. Been a fan since '74. So many great tunes form this guy over theyears, and his associations and collaborations with some of the most legendary musicians is long.
One of my favourite JB songs - for a great cover check out the Hindley Street Country Club (HSCC) version. It is a live recording and really does justice to the song.
Well, just look at that girl with the lights coming up in her eyes She's got to be somebody's baby She must be somebody's baby All the guys on the corner stand back and let her walk on by She's got to be somebody's baby She must be somebody's baby She's got to be somebody's baby, she's so fine She's probably somebody's only light Gonna shine tonight Yeah, she's probably somebody's baby, alright I heard her talking with a friend When she thought nobody else was around She said she's got to be somebody's baby She must be somebody's baby 'Cause when the cars and the signs And the streetlights light up the town She's got to be somebody's baby She must be somebody's baby She's got to be somebody's, she's so She's gonna be somebody's only light Gonna shine tonight Yeah, she's gonna be somebody's baby tonight I try to shut my eyes, but I can't get her out of my sight I know I'm gonna know her, but I gotta get over my fright Well, I'm just gonna walk up to her, I'm gonna talk to her tonight Alright Yeah, she's gonna be somebody's only light Gonna shine tonight Yeah, she's gonna be somebody's baby tonight She's gonna be somebody's only light, gonna shine tonight Yeah, she's gonna be somebody's baby tonight Gonna shine tonight, make her mine tonight Gonna shine tonight, make her mine tonight Gonna shine tonight, make her mine tonight, ah-ah Gonna shine tonight, make her mine tonight Gonna shine tonight, make her mine tonight, yeah Gonna shine tonight, make her mine tonight Source: Musixmatch

Love Jackson Browne. But if he really wanted to stop nuclear power that he is using right now to do his gig, unplug the instruments and go acostic. Then the plants will shut down for no usages! Now do you know how it works? The power of the greenbacks.

I was still in my car. Getting up my nerve.

@@Jayme969 thank you. I try not to think about it. I've lost my whole family.
@@peggyford108 you have my most sincere sympathy.
@@Jayme969 thank you 😊 🙏. I'll pray that your family is always safe!
After 40 years still wonderful!
Another of my favorites! Brings back happy memories and gives me a lift of spirit!!
If you have not seen him live you must go. I am so amazed each time I see him that he is just so great

Love Jackson Browne saw him at the Orange County CA last year great show loved his stories his voice never changes ❤️

Yess! 1984❤
Thx for sharing.
I love your voice... Still great❤
Reminds me of being at Mississippi State 1978, 1979.
JB. Voice sounds great keep rocking on 🎵❤️
💎 Genuine long term genius. Man and music 🎶
I always associate this song with “Fast times at Ridgemont High”!!
You’re not alone
What an insult to JB but ok.
To damn repetitive
@@bradshores9617 Imagine his political correct bullshit if he was not connected and wealthy.
if all he finds is freedom it's alright
Saw him in santa monica. He is the best!
this guy is a legend so many great songs.

Well, just look at that girl with the lights coming up in her eyes
She's got to be somebody's baby
She must be somebody's baby
All the guys on the corner stand back and let her walk on by
She's got to be somebody's baby
She must be somebody's baby
She's got to be somebody's baby, she's so fine
She's probably somebody's only light
Gonna shine tonight
Yeah, she's probably somebody's baby, alright
I heard her talking with a friend
When she thought nobody else was around
She said she's got to be somebody's baby
She must be somebody's baby
'Cause when the cars and the signs
And the streetlights light up the town
She's got to be somebody's baby
She must be somebody's baby
She's got to be somebody's, she's so
She's gonna be somebody's only light
Gonna shine tonight
Yeah, she's gonna be somebody's baby tonight
I try to shut my eyes, but I can't get her out of my sight
I know I'm gonna know her, but I gotta get over my fright
Well, I'm just gonna walk up to her, I'm gonna talk to her tonight
Alright
Yeah, she's gonna be somebody's only light
Gonna shine tonight
Yeah, she's gonna be somebody's baby tonight
She's gonna be somebody's only light, gonna shine tonight
Yeah, she's gonna be somebody's baby tonight
Gonna shine tonight, make her mine tonight
Gonna shine tonight, make her mine tonight
Gonna shine tonight, make her mine tonight, ah-ah
Gonna shine tonight, make her mine tonight
Gonna shine tonight, make her mine tonight, yeah
Gonna shine tonight, make her mine tonight

Best JB song
I saw him at the Peoria Civic Center Theater some years ago. He was awesome. He was sniffling a bit. He said "too much cocaine". LOL!
That’s too
bad. I had the same thing happen to me at JB.

OK, where the hell is he ? Oh, there he is ! ! !
haa, why is there always one that has to get n the way never fails !!
Missing the slap and pop from the bass.
Yeah, Shakey Town Somebodys Baby
Next time you see a good looking woman, give her that compliment!
Like this very much but the backing singers may as well be not there awful
Jackson seems to have plenty of justified guilt.
Wow ..... what an uninspired performance.
Agreed. Hurts my ears
Backing was weak, not full of energy like the original.
Hello, ladies
Sound engineer fail.
Too slow. Studio version better
This is actually faster than the studio cut, but it has no groove.
Love Jackson Browne. But if he really wanted to stop nuclear power that he is using right now to do his gig, unplug the instruments and go acostic. Then the plants will shut down for no usages! Now do you know how it works? The power of the greenbacks.
pretty weak
The song sucks.
Fast times, the bass player is the daughter of the guitarist
No she's not: she's his wife!
