A timeless song. This was probably my most favorite recording with Dishwalla. I have every album they made and never tired of their music. The Dishwalla version of this song showcases his emotive and powerful voice. So nice he included it here, simply magic.
My friend Turf lost his wife to cancer recently, she battled it for a while and I shared this song with him after she passed. It has been a great comfort to him. He is a good guy, he has been a high school teacher for years and has always been there for others in times of need. Life can be unfair but we have to be strong for those who can't be. Sometimes all we can do is grieve and let are feelings out. Good music like this it's just healing to everyone's soul.
I listened to this song every night after my husband passed away. It was like it was written for me and it was such a comfort. Thank you, J.R. for sharing your gifts.
This version feels like floating on a cloud. Exceptional. The original CD had an app, for the PC, with a bunch of audio samples that let you create your own compositions. I had fun tinkering.
JR: Your pipes sound as good today as they did in '94, when I was an original fan of Dishwalla. And I will forever stand by Opaline as one of the top 3 albums of any music I've ever owned. As long as you're singing, I'm listening and supporting. Thank you for making some of the best music and writing the most incredible songs I've ever heard, man! Trey Lanford
Depression is all too real. It seems to be more of an epidemic today than I recall in past generations. This song helps me to acknowledge that I can't overcome life's ever changing battles without the support, love and comfort of family and home. Thanks JR.
Always loved this song. I loved playing it for people, because most had never heard it. This was always a hit with my guitar students. Learning an open tuning and great song all in one. Much love!
I absolutely love J.R.'s "stripped" version of this song! At a 1996 show I was lucky enough to get a rare demo cassette of this tune... it had 3 songs... the "b-side" of which was an early demo of Until I Wake Up. This cheap "tape" is what made me appreciate J.R. and Dishwalla... and have followed ever since. This version has even more feel/passion than that early demo tape...
well, I'm so happy you're still making music, your voice was my comfort when i was little, and it's still catchy and heart melting same as it used to many years ago, please keep making music
A thought provoking chord progression that brings a tear to my eye, along with an unbelievably awesome singer. Great song
Thank you so much!!

Sometimes I'm longing for the freedom this saddest song offers...but I don't want to miss J R Richards voice...
