Lyrics
Well I looked into a house I once lived in
Around the time I first went on my own
When the roads were as many as
The places I had dreamed of
And my friends and I were one
Now the distance is done and the search has begun
I've come to see where my beginnings have gone
Oh the walls and the windows were still standing
And the music could be heard at the door
Where the people who kindly endured my odd questions
Asked if I came very far
And when my silence replied they took me inside
Where their children sat playing on the floor
Well we spoke of the changes
That would find us farther on
And it left me so warm and so high
But as I stepped back outside
To the grey morning sun
I heard that highway whisper and sigh
Are you ready to fly
And I looked into the faces all passing by
It's an ocean that will never be filled
And the house that grows older and finally crumbles
That even love cannot rebuild
It's a hotel at best, you're here as a guest
You ought to make yourself at home
While you're waiting for the rest
Well I looked into dream of the millions
That one day the search will be through
Now here I stand at the edge of
My embattled illusions
Looking into you
The great song traveler passed through here
And he opened my eyes to the view
And I was among those who called him a prophet
And I asked him what was true
Until the distance had shown
How the road remains alone
Now I'm looking in my life
For a truth that is my own
Well I looked into the sky for my anthem
And the words and the music came through
But words and music will never touch
The beauty that I've seen
Looking into you and that's true

Did anyone else not want this to end? Listening to Jackson Browne's music is like hearing angels recite poetry... and how about that genius pedal steel playin' by Greg Leisz?
Yes, so well said. And the steel is from heaven also!!!
Three bars in and tears were already streaming down my face…I’m 74 and been a fan forever, it seems. And this is why….
Sixty-eight years old. Affects me the same way. Can't imagine my life without this man's music.
@@jshelledy1 Yep. Snow on the roof but plenty of fire in in the furnace. 75 here, and still resonating with this music. This particular song struck me as almost a chant, with the repetition of the melody.
Yep. 72. Beauty is beauty.
Only 52 but literally grew up with his music starting with this record. I don’t have memories of life without JB’s music. Literally the soundtrack to my entire life. He’s the very best to ever write songs and sing them.
Jackson tributed on prines first album and wallflowers first, "thanks to Jackson Browne". What a tribute, huh?
Fifty+ years down the road and this song is still GREAT!! ...and I am among those who call him a prophet!! Peace Always!
Beautiful
Mee too💜
@@cyndibrittain8147 so beautiful
If he is not, he is right up there somewhere. That's a good title 😇
definitely, and his ultimate prophetic song: After the Deluge.
Storyteller/Lyricist without peer. Many have come close but, for me, none have matched his magic.
My first date with my husband of 40 years was a Jackson Browne concert. There will always be a special place in my heart for Jackson Browne.
I'm right there with you. 1977 - Running On Empty Tour. I married my date in 1984.
As did I !!! And a concert by Jackson is the first thing we look for when thinking of a holiday trip away. Timeless, class 👏
My first concert was Jackson playing at the Robin Hood Dell in Philly the summer of '78 on his Running on Empty Tour. I remember where we sat on the lawn and how he talked about no nukes. His music shaped me.
Your stories are so great! I love how we all feel the same about him❤️Life is better with Jackson and his music in it! ahhh, creativity...
you are lucky to have been able to see Jackson on Live concert. first time i heard his music on the radio when i was in high school and it went straight to my soul and never left. but living in europe i never had the opportunity to see a concert. I hope in the future to be able to do so
This is how it's done folks.
- 72 years old.
*_Passion for music does_*
*_not have to fade with age_*
Indeed!
Good vintage, better and better..
He can still hold a buttery tone. Beautiful.
Passion for truth & right thinking 🎹🎸🎤
Absolutely agree! He sounds as good as he did many years ago. Music is in his heart and soul...and it shows.
So glad I got to live at a time when Jackson, Joni, Bonnie, John Prine, Dylan, Bruce, Billy, Gregg, Linda, Neil, James, Carole, Cat, Gordon, Harry, Dan F, Aretha and Jim Croce made music.
That would be my list too got to see most of those, sure miss John Prine and the others.
@@davidcrowe4104 55
I could not have said it better. He is a brilliant lyricist who so often gets overlooked for that fact...I guess some people just don't listen...
Indeed
So true. I have been fortunate enough to see them all perform except Jim Croce.
I am still convinced that those putting the thumbs down are Bieber fans. They have absolutely no idea when they see, and hear a superb musician/ songwriter.
"it's a hotel at best, you're here as a guest", This could be the best description of our mortality ever written. This man is a genius. (even at a very young age) Thank You Mr Browne, Thank You.....
Joseph- I’ve had my son (who has 2 young boys) listen to the original recording for that particular lyric, since Jackson has always offered his thoughts on what’s really important in life. This marks 50 years of trying to follow his advice, which goes far beyond the music...
Yes, Jackson: thank you❣️ 🙏
@@jackrambler3262 that’s it!! ~ “his advice” to me, (thru all the songs) has been the very best yet‼️No other musician, poet, friend, or prophet has moved me & motivated me as much as this man✨💥💫
He was writing well beyond his years at such an early age.
My Mom died this morning, so yes thanks for that comment.
This Voice, These Lyrics, The Piano, The Steel Guitar......My Heart is Moved.....Just having experienced having to give up/let go of my Childhood Homestead of many, many years standing....Jackson has always had this old soul introspection that is greatly appreciated .....🕊✌💗...
If any good comes from this horrible pandemic, it will be beautiful little moments like this one, just me - and some friends - and Jackson Browne (Hi Greg) sitting at his piano right in front of me/us. Thank you!
I agree 🎶💯
Only 1% hospitalization, not a pandemic
@@eaglefan941 Covid PENIS, Bro! Good luck out there.
Amen.
Comment past last #, 🌈
so sad that this generation will never know his music and its amazing stories!! i am 65, went to many concerts, and made sure my daughter, now 22 knows what TRULY GREAT music is. God bless you for all you have given so many !!
Every single one of us is so grateful to you for creating a soundtrack to part of our lives. You are beautiful, your music is beautiful and you are truly loved. Thank you JB💜
*Thank You Jackson for 50 years of masterful musical bliss!*
Yep👍
I don't know how he does it, but I thank God for Jackson Browne. He is a gift to the world. His lyrics and voice are so meaningful. He is simply the best.
Whether he is performing from his living room or the stage at Red Rocks, it always feels intimate. No one connects with an audience like Jackson.
so true!
His voice is still as beautiful as and he is as good looking.
Red Rocks was very, very wonderful!!!!
Yup, agree, Jackson's songs at once deeply personal yet universally connective...true heart-spirit tunesmith. Am so grateful he's part of the soundtrack of my life...from '60s Troub days on.
Truth here🕊🌏🕉✨️⚘️💙
Words can never express what these songs mean to millions. Utterly superb.
I played this beautiful album over and over thousands of times when my oldest child was a baby. These words are still so poignant, even now. Much love to you from Humboldt County, home of the Redwoods!
Thank You Jackson!
I’m so glad this man walks this earth. Such poignant lyrics that just touch your soul. His music is beyond timeless.
JACKSON BROWNE FOREVER
I wish I could shake his hand and thank him for all the great music.
Met my husband 40 years ago in Ireland ..he introduced me to all of your music...bought me all your albums..we've been at all your Irish concerts....now our daughters are singing your wonderful songs..love this one..thank you for the music.
Your story mirrors that of my wife and me, Margaret - met in 1975, married in 1984, been to all his concerts in Ireland since 1994 - and many around the world too. Such a great way to spend time - and he’s on my children’s playlists, too 👍
Love this song! Continues to be one of my favorites after all these years.
“But words and music will never touch
The beauty that I've seen....”. Thank you, Jackson, for sharing that beauty in songs with us for a generation.
❤️
These were the same words I had planned to mention. But then, I'm a golfer too.
Jackson Browne is the greatest lyricist ever.
In my opinion the greatest singer/songwriter of all time, and the most underrated. Can't wait for you to come to England again soon and see you for the 25th time. Can't wait for the delayed new album too
🙌
This man was wonderful at 18, He is wonderful now!!
👍❗🔺️😻
Yessss!!❤️
Isn't it amazing to see him age as well as we are too....sort of together. But his music is timeless.
@@kirbharp2157 you are so right!
jackson..This was the first song of yours I ever remember listening to, 1971.ish..? so many years on. a great treat for a new
Saturday morning....greetings from Barcelona..
I could listen to Jackson talk about his music all day. What a talented man.
Thanks Jackson for the years and all the hours, 'listening to you'
Words and music will never touch the beauty that I’ve seen, looking into you Jackson. And that’s true. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your beautiful lyrics and songs. They are part of the tapestry of my life, the better part of it for sure 🙏🙏
👍💜❣
Moved to tears! I was a kid when Saturate Before Using came out. I drew your picture, framed it, and hung it on my wall til I left home. I wore that vinyl out and simply could not leave this song alone. I count you among those who gave me the courage to poet. Thank you. Thank you.
Love your deep sensitivity and beautiful soul. Wish I had known you, but I only know who you are through your music. Thank you , Jackson for being a part of my life. You will never know what your music meant to me all of my life.
Well put.
Same here ❣
The guitar on your sofa, looks just like my brother's. I had it restored after he passed away, he took it with him to nam ... and it has The wear and tear of war on the wood. They kept the scars to keep the time he spent over there, as it came back changed, just as he. ..... Thank you. ❤
Listened to this song over and over at 13 and here listening to it again at 60. So blessed to have this music in my life. Thank you Sir.
I was. 15. The youngest one there 1974. Tucson. Jackson the sound track of my life
50-years i’ve been listening to your music, and hearing so much more every passing decade.
thank you for this. -C
Thank you for this song. My mother passed away at 93 last month. My three brothers and I inherited our family home which Is full of memories but now sits sadly empty.
Sorry for your loss. Cherish the memories and smile.
Hugs
Sorry for your loss. May your mother's memory be a blessing. Where is the house? Perhaps you and your brothers will rent or sell it to someone who appreciates its good vibrations.
It is sad seeing the memories left in a family home. Bless you❤️
Condolences to your family.
One of you should move in your
childhood home & have many
years of new celebrations, reunions,
Birthdays & of course great memories. How cool would it be for
your kids or nephews & nieces to
go to your alma mater.

Jackson Browne remains a yardstick for living. He remains a poet for my generation and future generations if they are wise enough to listen.
Many years of joy brought to my soul by Jackson Browne. Thank you.
Your music makes me calm in the midst of this crazy world. Thank you ❤️
..yes. !! his music
Touches my core
Says. CALM ..
Jackson Browne... you and your poetry have carried me through many trying AND happy times God bless you and people like you who care enough to share your insight into what is real. Thank you also for teaching us to care for mother earth. Thank you.
“Here I stand at the edge of my embattled illusions, looking into you.” This is lyrical wizardry right here.
Your music has enriched my life in ways that words cannot describe. Thank you so very much for sharing it with us.
I am beyond grateful for the mastermind and genius of Jackson Browne’s gift to the world. His earliest music was the anthem of my youth and the reason I continue my search for truth and life.
What a gift he has! I'm so happy he shares it with all of us. Another example of lyrical wizardry from Jackson Browne is found in 'Your Bright Baby Blues":
It's so hard to come by that feeling of peace
This friend of mine said "Close your eyes, and try a few of these"
I thought I was flying like a bird so far above my sorrow
But when I looked down I was standing on my knees
Now I need someone to help me, someone to help me please
Singing the truth.. your life is art and your song is alive with beauty. Thanks for sharing, friend.
Pure Jackson Browne. We have a very early recording of you when you were 19 years old and playing at the Candy Company in San Diego. Still listen to your first album.....early Jackson, love it.
Thank you for playing this song Jackson. It profoundly touched my life so many moons ago. Chief Crazyhorse once said “we as people can save our Mother Earth if only we care to try” May we all heed those words. Wishing you well in your concerts and travels 💕
First saw Jackson at the Capitol Theater in Passaic, NJ, back in the early 70s. He played solo. The response was extremely positive, which seemed to surprise him.
He said, "The next time I come back, I'm bringing my band."
And he did the next year. I was there for that one, too.
He is simply one of the finest songwriters of our generation. Top shelf. Always on the pulse of how it truly is. Personal, social commentary, world view. Has a few equals, but none are better.
Jackson's first album is one of my favs ever. All of his work is always so good.
(Nice steel work, also, Greg! We just lost Rusty Young, another terrific steel player).
👍🤝
Was he the opener for America at that show, (or was that the one 'next year')??
If so, I WAS THERE!
Yeah, R.I.P. Rusty. 😪 Sneaky Pete is gone as well, correct?
@@LS1conehead
You know, I think he did open for America because I saw them at the Capitol as well. It was probably that show. I'm from Belleville originally, a few towns over.
@@rjb7569 That was the very first show (of MANY!) of his that I've been to.
Yes, I was living in Union at that time, and was already a big fan of his music.
The most ironic thing is that I thought I was the ONLY one in my whole 800+ graduating class of Union High that was into his artistry, and that they were all into ONLY the 'go to' expected usual; Zeppelin, Stones, Doors, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, etc., etc.
But then at the Seton Hall show a year or so after that Capital show, there were MANY of my fellow classmates waiting in line to get into that gym to see him and Linda!! 😁
I love this. And you, Jackson Browne, since 1973. You always had a way of expressing my inner broken parts, help me cry, and slowly heal. Yours, Jody
Can't find the words other than to say THANKYOU to Jackson and Greg. This entire album was a revelation and so evocative.
What a treat on waking up on a rainy Saturday in Ireland - keep them coming, Jackson and Greg - pure, timeless class 👏
Same in Hamburg...
These live sessions are jewels - precious and rare. The old songs and the brand new all just shimmer. So grateful to Jackson Browne. His music has buoyed me all my life - still does
Had a record store in the mid seventies. Sold more Jackson Browne albums than any other. Doesn't get much better than this and that pedal steel seals the deal.
Thank you for everything. Thank you today for sharing this beautiful version of a great song. Thank you for all the other contributions of songs to various benefit streams over the past year; they have made the enforced isolation more bearable. Thank you for your deadication to environmental and social justice causes throughout your career. Oh yes, thank you for pursuing the music and sharing your gift and hard work with us for so many years.
Well said!
@@Bignormgod
Thats true ❗
I would call this a perfect song.
Thank you so much for your love of those who need someone to stand up for those who are lost, forgotten, at risk of death from evil rulers of the countries where human lives mean nothing. You have never feared standing for what is right.
I've been listening to you since 1976. I have seen you so many times in concert. I just love the way your music speaks love and compassion.
Thank you for just being a wonderful man who truly has a desire to help others.
The voice is great on this day! Funny how the older we get,we look back,not so much ahead♥️
The creator has blessed us with messengers...they awakening our bindled thoughts when roads are dusted by stiff side winds. These words fill spaces that have run empty and remind me of a place I called Home.
Thank you Mr. Browne
💙 sooo true!
Some people can just sing the phone book and it makes you emotional
Jackson is definitely one of those people...
JB's voice has remained amazingly tuneful throughout the years. This song's a gem.
Oh! How many times this song played on my turntable in my teenage years. Jackson, your words and music have helped me so much throughout my life. I thank you for that and for the hug I asked for and received from you March 17, 1996 (The Township, Columbia, SC). I sent everyone Christmas cards that Christmas with our picture taken that night and the words "Dreams Do Come True"! LOL. Love you...
Jackson Browne’s songs reach into my soul and I feel the warmth and love in his lyrics and music. I’m approaching 71 and “Looking into You” ministers to me. It helps me look back and reflect on my relationships with people who have blessed me across life’s path, which have made life beautiful and meaningful. And I’m so grateful. Thank you, Jackson. God bless you.
👍
I deeply appreciate getting to know you through these very personal videos Jackson....thank you for sharing your stories along with your masterpieces xo
I imagine his stories are all masterpieces…. Love him, just as always.❤️
Jackson speaks and sings to my soul.. we are 'giving up' or selling our old homestead soon. That's hard to do, so many dreams there, so many memories, i thought i would live out the rest of my days there, but I was "just a guest" as he says in this song. So happy to hear him singing his truths
Reminds me of my brother so much ...he was such a fan of Jacksons thank you JBalways a pleasure xxxx
Wow! What a beautiful rendition of a poignant song written at such a tender age. If Bob Dylan can get a Nobel Prize for a lifetime of lyrics what does Jackson B need to do?
This tune sealed the deal with my future wife. Thanks Jackson.❤️
So powerful. I wish I could relive every moment in time which I sang this song. My memories and gray hairs are all I have left. Still it is more than those who are no more.
This was one of your teenage songs, wow....It still amazes me how wonderful your writing has been since you were a kid! I just love it when people are truly gifted like this.
Reading the comments while listening to the song, I realized how deeply that everyone feels about JB. We. Are. Blessed. Beyond. All. Understanding. Thanks Jackson.
Fantastic, as always. God bless you Jackson and everybody listening!
When we feel it, but don't have the words or the art to express what we feel, we thank God for songs like these.
Looking back at you... Deep appreciation for thoughtful lyrics and beautiful melodies over the decades, for concerts, for songs that held memories for you and created new memories for us. Memories of places we have been when we heard your songs, and they became our songs, our anthems, our music, looking into you. Much love and respect to you, Jackson.
Wow ...thank you Jackson and Greg ..beautiful song and Jackson, you have been so blessed with your voice. I have been listening to you for years and you still have a gorgeous sound.💜
“Words and music will never touch the beauty that I’ve seen, looking you”... Jackson Browne is truly a National treasure. Thank you so much for sharing your gift, and reminding us to love one another. Throughout this pandemic, Jackson has shared his talents from his home, and has satisfied our need to hear that truth, love, and understanding still exists in this not so perfect world. Thanks so very much Jackson.
Seems too few folks comment on is the instrumention you choose for each song- they really are paintings Jackson, auditory masterpieces.

Artistic Masterpiece’s as the “ Paint the Portrait of Jackson’s life,. Beautiful colours with vision within his lyrics 🌟
Beautiful and soulful still after all these years. I woke up this foggy morning to this song and it delighted my heart. Thank you Jackson.
I love how thoughtful Jackson Browne is. There's a meaning and substance behind the songs he writes, the lyrics. Very nice. I wish more artists would emulate him.
Way to go, Jackson... keep singing, man... carry me home... just up the road in Monterey.
"All the walls and the windows are still standing." Don't know why but that line always gives me goosebumps.
Yes, same here, because it is as if he expected them to be crumbling, with a resultant forlorn feeling, and was very pleasantly surprised to find them "still standing".
Will never tire of this music. Jackson and his accompying musicians, always outstanding.
From the soundtrack of my 20s ❤️
The very first song I ever heard by Jackson was "For a Dancer". Fell in love instantly. I waa 15 and full of terminal uniqueness. His voice and words ministered beauty and identity to my hungry, yearning soul. Fron that time on I can recognize his voice in one note. A few years later I waa in a coma for 8 days. When I came out if it I didn't recognize a lot, including a sister. Still, I knew and was comforted by that voice. Always wanted to meet him and was insanely jealous of people I knew who did. I live in VA and thought about hitching to CA several times throughout my life. 45 years later and I can still be caught going into a world of my own, wearing my beats or blasting my Bluetooth and singing my heart out with Jackson. Gave up on meeting him and that urgency is gone. I know he is only a man but oh how he can still "Sing My Songs to Me." Thanks for listening. This was shared with gratitude and appreciation. By the far off chance that this will be read by Jackson, I want to say Thank You! Fron another of your number 1 fans.
@@sarahblevins5836 beautiful...but never give up... maybe you WILL meet him someday...
Jackson a beautiful song -- - going back in time -- - feeling life ❤️
Jackson, you've got a good 30 years to go, avoid alcohol, fructose and keep your microbiom strong. Never stop hiking - live!
I heard his 1st album 100s of times as a kid. When I was a teenager this always stood out as my favorite. So powerful. It would always be my go to with JB.
This performance is phenomenal. Thanks Mr. Browne.... means more than you'll ever know
Mr. Browne, I'm 28 years old and have always admired your style. Part of me wishes I grew up during your time, but the other part of me is simply grateful that I'm able to appreciate your music because it is timeless. Your songwriting has been there for every hardship in my life, and has shaped who I am over the years. You are the true definition of an artist, and continue to inspire people like me every day. For that, and much more, I wanted to say thank you.
Nice words, nice mind... ❗🌷🤝
god lord you're a puppy son
Jackson, finally looking as soulful as his music..... your voice is ageless.
One of the finest songs I shall ever hear.
This song still brings tears to my eyes, but for different reasons than it used to back in the 70's. Keep on rockin♥ I'd love to wander around that room and look at your books:)
Thank you, Jackson and Greg. This song has touched our hearts many times.
There isn't a song that doesn't touch me to my soul, its as though a silent kinship or connection in ny mind has been spoken out loud & put into words that I could never come up with on my own. Jackson does this fir me as though he was tapped into my thougbts. Its explained so simply , im the one that makes it all so complicated & when I hear him sing I then realize im not alone in this world of thought or realty. People say i think too much,, its not that, its just that i over think, I over feel on things that can't be solved in one person or at all. Im just happy that I have a friend that views my thoughts with the same heart, even if he has no idea I exist, I know he does & that causes my calm..
omg I'm bawling my eyes out. Always a favorite song, performed today by Jackson with such depth of feeling, blew me away. Thank you, Jackson. See you in August!
Great JB, haven't seen your face for ages, now I see your face has changed a lot, but your lovely signature voice got even better. God bless you JB.
I’ve seen JB many times over the years and would go again tomorrow. Always enjoyed his shows. The soundtrack of my youth. Thank you Jackson
Maybe Jackson's finest song. It still moves me deeply all these years later.
Way back in 1981 i was living and working at the Century Plaza Hotel ..one night i stuck my finger out and started hitchhiking to Hollywood..a man in White BMW pulled over and picked me up..and drove me to Hollywood ..it was Jackson Browne the singer ..we chatted i told him i was from Melbourne Australia he said his Girl Friend was from Australia ..i never forget that night Jackson ..
Thank you for this beautiful reminder. It seems our planet is on the cusp of a huge transition these days. Your words and music have always been prophetical. Love you Jackson!
One of the many, many JB songs that I love. I was 18 in ‘71, became a man with Jackson’s help. Thanks so much for everything, JB.
This is my favorite song you ever wrote. It speaks to everyone on so many levels about growing up and moving on but still looking back with longing regrets and good memories of home.
Years back after a bitter and sad divorce for me. I went back to see the new owners of the home that was once mine. I walked the property to show the new owners where my past pets were buried. I now know that life and living are temporary no matter where you rest your head.
I've seen Jackson Browne in concert about 30 times. I have requested this song every time.
I am so happy to see he's doing retakes of all my favourite JB songs in his Live from Home series. The new layer that his more "experienced" and aged voice has given these songs in magical
