This has always been one of my favorite all-time songs. It's sad that music that is actually great gets so few views on RUclips, while Bieber clones and misogynistic crap gets millions upon millions of views.
This live performance is better than the studio version on the Interiors album. I remember asking for this song at a John Stewart concert in Perth round about 1991. He said Roseanne does a better job than me on that one. Great song.
Loved this for 3 decades and so pleased to find this live version. It's great to see Rosanne to hand over the spotlight to Steuart to let him work his magic.
Great things happen when Roseanne and John Stewart collaborate ... "denying the fear is the name of the game" ... that guitarist earns his money ... thanks mrrayjd.
Me enamoré de su música, la vi actuar en un programa de TVE LA2 de música country que el presentador cantante era John Prine. Desde entonces soy seguidor de su música. Tiene los genes de su padre. El guitarrista espectacular, por eso lo fichó Eagles para un gira.
A great song about the fear of being alone. John and Rosanne write, "To stare at the fear is going insane Forgiving the fear is one up on Cain To dance with the tiger and laugh at the rain." Also great is "Reaching for stars while we're standing on stools." Great lyrics. I believe Cain is correct - Cane doesn't fit.

1950BobbyF I agree. That's some Johnny Marr level guitar playing.
Another great John Stewart song.
Stuart Smith on lead guitar, doing a fine job. He was last seen being an honourary Eagle.
Very fine music that strikes at the heart of the human condition, for those that would listen. Rosanne's voice only gets better...
Beautiful guitar work Stuart Smith. Great tune.
One of my favorite songs & the guitar solo at the end strikes me deep

Great song.
And that guitar part is heavenly.
Thank you for posting this.

I’ve always loved Roseanne Cash and her music. I don’t think she has gotten near the recognition she deserves. Same goes for Linda Ronstadt.
FABULOUS ...

So beautiful. I saw this when it was first broadcast. Fell in love with R. Cash and John Prine right there when he sang 'Hello In There'..wow..
My favorite

Well now this is 2023 I'm at John Leventhal husband now good producer and guitarist
A great song about the fear of being alone. John and Rosanne write,

Is that John Prine
