This song is laced with memorable and meaningful lines, showcasing Robert Hunter at the height of his songwriting chops, and paired perfectly with a similar accomplishment from Jerry Garcia.
Or maybe some cosmic teaching? “Once in a while you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right.” How about some hard-fought wisdom? “I had to learn the hard way to let her pass by.” This song, come to think of it, has it all.ĭo you need encouragement and inclusion? “Everybody’s playing in the heart of gold band.”
It’s got lyrical motifs aplenty (flowers, nursery rhymes, gambling, shapes, colors, musical forms, precious metals, and more). It seems to be about one, thing, then blossoms into being about everything. (I’ll consider requests for particular songs-just private message me!)

Therefore, the best part, I would hope, would not be anything in particular that I might have to say, but rather, the conversation that may happen via the comments over the course of time-and since all the posts will stay up, you can feel free to weigh in any time on any of the songs! With Grateful Dead lyrics, there’s always a new and different take on what they bring up for each listener, it seems. Here’s the plan-each week, I will blog about a different song, focusing, usually, on the lyrics, but also on some other aspects of the song, including its overall impact-a truly subjective thing.
