    If I understand correctly this song was at least partially addressing Apartheid and the policies of it. Bruce Hornsby plays just about any style of music there is. He has three Grammys,Best New Artist, Best Bluegrass Album and Best Pop Instrumental Performance. Besides his group he has worked with multiple artists including three years with The Grateful Dead. You have probably heard him even if you don’t realize it because he has composed and performed for multiple projects with Spike Lee including the 2009 Kobe Bryant special on ESPN. Truly a versatile talent in the music industry. I think he had a new album out in May of 2022 and he will be on tour this summer.

    • @goldenstate66
      @goldenstate66 Год назад +7

      I read that it is actually referencing the Economic Opportunity Act and Civil Rights Act of 1964 in the U.S. Under Aparthide the social welfare system focused mainly on poor whites and excluded blacks. The allocation of social welfare resources favoured whites.

    Bruce Hornsby is one of the best pianist ever. His style is
    Ike no one else. This is his biggest and most enduring hit but every song he plays on is elevated by his piano stylings. If you like this song, you’ll love his whole album. He creates so much joy and whimsy in a song that is so dark in so many ways. You can’t help but be moved by the song. Check out Mandolin Rain. That song is beautiful

Much of it was 'sampling' the 70s and 80s (no harm, no foul, earlier generations did the same for earlier music too). I had to pause and look up Tupac's song *lol*!

    Bruce Hornsby is an amazing musician and songwriter, with many songs with social or environmental themes. I had the great pleasure of seeing him live, just him and his piano. No set list. The audience wrote songs on pieces of paper, threw them up on the stage around his piano bench and he'd pick up a piece of paper and play that song. About 10 seconds into his first song, someone's phone when off. He jumped up walked to the front of the stage as if he was angry, then went back to his piano and riffed on the ring tone for five minutes. It was incredible!
    When people hear songs sampled on a new song, why not look up to find the original? You'll find so much addtional great music that way.

    Recommend "The Valley Road". For me, the song of his that hits the hardest.

    He also has a great duet with Stevie Nicks from her The Other Side album called "Two Kinds of Love." Excellent.
