Being true
Falling out a window
For the view
All of us laugh
How many of us sing?
This sky where we live
Is no place to lose your wings
So love, love, love
Lose your body
And your mind
And the bitter
Taste of time
All of us cry
While we should be dancing
This sky where we live
Is no place to lose your wings
So love, love, love
Fly, fly away
Do you remember?
All of us sleeping
How many of us dream?
This sky where we live
Is no place to lose your wings
So love, love, love
Maybe it takes a certain state of mind to appreciate this song. It is healing something in me, something that I didn't realize needed healing.
What a great comment!
Absolutely superb and Godlike 10
I Agree!

Sadly, Duane is not making any new music. I see this comment like I would someone saying "If I wanted to listen to real blues, I'll listen to Robert Johnson." So, no one else can possibly make anything new/interesting/better? Kind of a depressing thought.
Actually, the dude said "THIS TYPE of slide" The problem with Derek's playing is that indeed it does come across as a Duane Tribute but, of course, without the feel. Duane innovated a very particular sound which sadly, these days, has been copied to the point of cliche.
A good friend of mine in Florida had the Allman Bros band show up one weekend at the university where he was working at a marine lab. They liked my buddy enough to have him look after a young Derek and show him around the lab while they went out to party for a little while. Among some of their hijinks that afternoon, he let Derek - at his request - photocopy his butt on the office copier before he was safely returned to his clan. I am sure this song was influenced by this event.
Cool story. Thank You for sharing it.

Mr. Clapton would like a word with you.

Derek is God.
Mark Knopfler says hi.
The more I hear this tune, the more I like it!! Thank You RP!
Agreed! This is an easy 9.
Not bad, but not completely my groove either. Something I will listen to, and enjoy, if it just happens to be playing somewhere, but if I'm looking for something to listen to, this would not be something I sought out.
Uhhhhh............what?
Derek plays his own thing not ever to be compared with Duane. I hear some sitar references in this piece that make me enjoy my own guitar journey I am on now. Nice job, Derek

I'm just not crazy about the guitar sound, I know he's talented, but something's off to me....
Might be time to get your ears checked.
Derek is God.
Stop comparing Derek Trucks to god, he's great and all , but he's no Derek Trucks!

I just uprated this too. Probably after the thousandth listen (played the CD at home a lot when it first came out). Today it just resonated. I miss Kofi Burbridge, he added such a nice touch. Enjoy hearing Derek doing his sitar-like thing. Overall a really good vibe.

Well, unless I'm driving... then I pretend I'm driving down a cool coastal road.

When we should be dancing
This sky where we live
Is no place to lose your wings,
so Love, Love, Love!
Tell it brother! Tell it with that super-funky slide guitar!
Pretty much exactly what I'd say to ppopp...LLRP!
I've noticed that before about him. Sometimes he's right in the Robbie groove.

So true, that's why I think Derek Trucks sucks...
c.
It's all about the feel on this one, sometimes the slide just sounds right for the lyrics, and that's the case for me with this one.



It's the real deal.
While we should be dancing
Amen, brother.
Tell that to this fucker of a 2017 comfortably numbnuts president.
Sorry, political vent.
Thanks, Derek.
Hey, Butch Trucks is a relative of Derek Trucks.
Butch Trucks played in the Allman Bros.
Duane Allman was a brother, and a co-pilot in Derek and the Dominoes.
Derek rhymed with Eric. And so on.
I haven't read up, I think there may not be a connection, but is there?
Derek is Butch's nephew and played in the ABB until the end. He's 2nd gen Allman's...
I'm always out of here via PSD when that band plays....
really?!?

Me too. Don't know why, because I usually like slow, dreamy pieces like this. This is just boring.
That is exactly what I was just thinking...hmmm... how did you do that?..

Not really.
clearly your range is not as wide as you think

I'm not sure it's a contest.

Yes I agree it would be no contest.

Yes, maybe you're right, every emotion "should be allowed."
Including, say, racial hatred and religious rage?
Anyway, are you saying it's better to be sad than happy?
Because most of us can think of a dozen or more in-the-news place in the world right now where that sentiment would be total bullshit. And that's just for starters.
If music could encourage and foster more "emotions" like those who "should be dancing" I think about 5 billion people would be better off.
Just sayin'.
That. Just that. And the thing that I just cannot be angry at anything or anyone anymore after hearing This song. Peace.
But I dislike the harah krishna "all of us cry, while we should be dancing"
Every emotion should be allowed

Agree, but i thinks it's a wasted opportunity.
it has the Indian/Asian flavor at the outset but squanders it with a Western ADHD affliction. They got the notes but not the sense.

His slide work here is so damn good I had absolutely no idea it was a slide until reading your comment, and even then had to listen reeeeeally carefully.
Edit: .... until the solo

Bears say "+1, babies!" This is a 10. Something happened when thy cut this track....

Or the evening.


I really liked my first time too.
