I was sitting at my desk early.this morning and this song came on. I started crying and just couldn't stop. My brother is dying. Losing his battle with cancer. Suffering. He use to play this song all the time growing up. I kept thinking of hearing him sing this song...thinking of how his voice sounds. I'm hurting, but smiling at the same time. 🙏🏾
I'm a 40yr old black man and this is one my favorite songs from one of my favorite artist. Dudes got so much soul! (not black soul not white soul just...Soul) My Dad played this album every day when I was growing up. He taught me that good music and good people have No color!
I work in home hospice as a nurse. This song is on my playlist every afternoon as I drive home. This song lets me cry out my feelings every afternoon...
My father-in-law was helped by home hospice in 2008. During a terrible time the hospice workers provided an incredibly helpful service. Thank you for what you do. It allows the families to focus on spending their last days on their loved one, instead of the medical condition of the loved one.
It takes ALL of us back to simpler times in our minds....also brings one peace from those times!! And hope that some how some way all that will be here tomorrow for all of us to enjoy once again!!
This song takes me back every time. To the mid 80s. My mom is making homemade mash potatoes and greens on the stove. My dad is outside grilling BBQ chicken. My brother and I playing in the yard hearing songs like this on the radio. Those were easier and simpler times.
Dude I really like how you paint a picture in my head with your comment! I feel and hear you on that although I have no family members left it’s a sweet memory and I thank you for reminding me of them.
Alright, how many of you have listened to this more than once in succession? Can't hardly get enough of this song. One of the most exquisitely crafted songs in the history of humankind.
@@eriklarson9137 my 15 year son asked Me what was life like when there was not any Internet or cell phones. I told him to turn off has phone for 24 hours and find out.
Agreed, anyone who had not heard "The Way it is" would say that! For Bruce is a talented, kind, genius. But once at least he was co-working with the Holy Spirit, and that is what makes the difference... The fact is that we don't want to keep the rain, because that is the very symbol and sign of the Holy Spirit...
I was 14. Had just moved from the city to a tiny tiny little town. Mad as hell I'd been drug away from my friends and girlfriend in the city to be all alone in this shit hole. Then I began to live the best 5 years of my entire life! Thank mom.... You knew what was best for me. 1987 began it all for me. I miss the 80s in ways and in an amount I have no words for. WTF have we done? What have we let happen?
This amazing song brings a tear to my eyes. I’m reminded of family, good friends , and significant others that I’ve lost along the way . One of the best songs of all time jmo
The Way It Is has political themes@@Rotstift-nr2cw . Mandolin Rain is a tribute to a past that is gone, never to be found again, like the end of the relationship that Hornsby is singing about. Poignant and beautiful
@@Rotstift-nr2cwNo it's not about politics. Seriously? Listen to the words maybe? It's about a lost relationship and him reminiscing about the past relationship. He has another song about social injustice, but this is definitely not it!!
I sit and read comments on here and I feel as though I'm in contact with friends around the world that I've never met, black or white, rich or poor, old or young it doesn't matter we all share a common interest of great music, like a universal language that all people understand.
@@robynhawkins48 thank you Robin Hawkins for call for going on my Gmail Bruce Hornsby is cool I hope I rock you too yeah it's been a long hard road spent many days on the street hospitals jails it sucks but you know something is worth it I believe in myself I believe in rap wellness ll
Another song that makes me cry just because it soooooooo great! I agree with Aaron Bane. People don't know what they e missing when they pass up so many songs because of the genre or the race of the artist.. I love Bruce & The Range madly. I'm Black also.
I don’t care what you’re doing, if you’re going through something just play this song and relax. It may not solve your problems but I guarantee you that your problems will be much easier for you 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ and pray to GOD
I haven't heard this song in over 20 years and I was instantly transported back to my early teenage years in the mid-80s. The memories came flooding back and for some reason the tears started flowing down my face. My Dad. I think of my Dad and his old record player. He sat alone in the dark a lot...sipping on a cold one. Vietnam. PTSD. This was before they got divorced. I get it now. Rest easy Dad. 🎶♥️
For some reason after traumatic experience u want to b alone a lot. I do. Sometimes ignore my kids,girlfriend. Just need to isolate sometimes. I'm a crime victim. Witnessed my brother get shot 14 times,then beaten bad after..... Been a long road since 1999.
My dad would take me out for midnight rides, if this came on he would jam it! I play it for my girlfriend's, and they ask does it remind me of them. Nope, reminds me of my dad, and he had great taste in music. R.i.p pops!
My brother who was a great brother and best friend died 12 years ago today. He loved this song, and when he left home, he always played this song cause one day he'd be back. I know he's around the Bay now. I miss you Jesus X. Perez and I love you❤❤❤. Give Mom a hug for us here❤❤❤
@@drumninja1869 Exactly. i was about to post a similar comment. Mid 80's was Electric and BH and The Range were given every opportunity to Shine..and they did.
I hope Bruce understands the impact he had on so many of us. This song is so tightly wrapped up and around my younger years. Those times were so innocent compared to today. It was such a wonderful time in my life, and this song takes me back there every time. Thank you Bruce.
62 born in "62.. Me too.. We both had a Beddian Birthday this year. People born in the 90's probably will never have one. Golden Birthdays are more common.
I am a 62yr old African American born in 62. My mom used to play different genres of music back then. I loved hearing this song on days when she was airing the house out and the white panel curtains would be billowing from the wind blowing.❤
I remember my stepdad and his friends taking us to see Bruce Hornsby when I was older. It was a small outdoor concert but I didn't realize they were going to try to sneak in. So when it got dark everyone sort of dwindled inside separately. I was somehow scuttled down a certain row and I literally ended up like 3 feet from the stage as this song began. I will never forget the tears instantly streaming down my face. I remembered this song vividly from childhood, we moved around so much, there was a lot of loss for me growing up and not a lot of money to indulge in anything like a live concert. I think the moment seemed so surreal like you couldn't explain what that song did for me in that moment.
Music used to have a lot of emotion and meaning. Now everything is pop and commercial. I often wonder if we will ever get back to a time where we have meaningful music.
How awesome...that's something that belongs to you and nothing nor anyone will ever be able to take it away from you. Great memory, thanks for sharing. God Bless you 😃
@@2312sports music had emotion because the singers/performers had soul, had talent, had a drive to succeed. After the mid 90s, originality ceased to exist🙄
My wife of 34yrs loved this song while we were dating. And I have always carriec the memories over the decades and thousands of miles across 2 continents....yes the 80' were great
When he sings about the fact he knew she wouldn’t stay, and that it would break his heart, he still chose to spend those moments with her anyway....I’ve been there. And let me tell you, it hurts. But those moments when you chose to stay and hoped for the outcome that would make you happy, those are memories that help mold the person I am today
@@djensen2319 Yep I have experienced this as well. Being held by someone you know will leave you. But him leaving turned out for the best in end so he had wisdom I didn't.
If he always knew that shed go is the train a gas lighting abandoning trajectory while she runs from something else. Is the Mandoline rain the only time she pops up? Because there has to be both a discussion about this type behavior at some point. "I think about her when I hear that whistle blow." Somebody has to repeat this toxic ambivalent cycle. Meek humility finds as much self worth as it does responsibility and purpose. Someone has to go as she turns to gold.
SAME 🙋🏾♀️ I would give anything to go back. Kids were safe in school, and accidental bump didn't get you shot. All of the adults were still alive..Now...everyone except my Sisters and Brothers are gone. I miss them all so much. 😪
My grandma died in 1987 when I was 12 years old, was in the back seat of my parents car, heading to her funeral and this song came on the radio, it completely ruined me, was a tough night and this song takes me right back to all those memories like it happened yesterday
Lynn R Morning of Jan. 1st 2021 and this song sounds sweeter than ever, wishin' like crazy could be back at simpler time, before this COVID-19 masked up bullshit. Wishing you and everyone listening, Absolute Health, Wealth, and Wisdom!
This song was released about 6 months after i was born. I only knew of it through it being played on a random community radio station here in Yorkshire.
2024 after being with a man for over 20yrs he left me after I was diagnosed with cancer 😢😢and left me all alone please everyone pray for me please thanks I’m so hurt!! I listen to this song ❤
Back in the 80s, I was a teenage metalhead....still am a metalhead, but I would still listen to Bruce Hornsby and Steve Winwood. listening to this song reminds me how much I miss those days.
Same here my friend I'm right there with you I miss the 80s as well and yes I'm still a head banger from the days of listening to Twisted Sister Van Halen and the Scorpions but I always loved Bruce Hornsby and the range and whole host of others but that's what makes me miss the 80s even more good music Good Times....
Of course I would go back! I think this very thought every day. All the family members that have since passed, they were all here and happy. And so was I.
Masterpiece Masterpiece Masterpiece ❤️ Bruce Hornsby's voice resonates within my soul body and spirit ❤️.No one in this world can tell me that they don't like this Song. Its absolutely a beautiful soothing Mandolin song. Bruce Hornsby's voice is so soothing soft and Beautiful ❤️ i listen to this Masterpiece while I work and it gets me through the day. I miss this kind of Music 🎶🎶😭
2023 and it still holds up exquisitely and in comparison to music today, I long for excellent song writing. Structure melodies and musicianship. Still beautiful and excellent recording! 😊❤
The money bubbles up to the lowest common denominator, for the most part. Don't get me wrong, I actually think lots of musicians that get hate today put out some good music. But some of the most popular music today doesn't rely on people learning actual songwriting, singing, and instrument mastery. What a shame, because there could be a tremendous renaissance of pop songs if more kids went back to their roots.
2023 I’m still here I’m a fan of Bruce s music especially this one!!! I love this sooo beautiful just sit and enjoy a glass of wine and enjoy this beautiful music 🎉🎉🎉🎊🎊🎊🎊❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏
Bruce Hornsby is an American treasure. No wonder Jerry Garcia recognized his talent so early . Such a lovely melodic percussive sound and a under appreciated soulful singer .
Black girl here and I love love love Bruce Hornsby songs!!! This is arguably my top 5 favorite songs of all time! He made playing piano super cool. #BringBackMusicians #NoStudio
This song, for some inexplicable reason, brings me to tears, but also makes me happy. And teleports me back to my youth, the 80s and wonderful, wonderful memories…
Anyone ever had the experience of hearing a song you’ve heard your whole life and hearing it out of the blue and realize it’s a masterpiece? I’ve been listening to this song all day.
Oh yes. It was about five years ago when I heard this song playing in a McDonald’s, and it was the first time I had heard it in about 10 years. It immediately made me nostalgic for the times this song played on family road trips (which is saying something because I hate road trips). I realized that I wasn’t listening to an ordinary song, but a masterful message of accepting heartache.
I guess you weren't alive or missed the 80's because the album won him a Grammy and a hit on the Billboard charts in 1987. He was never underrated and well respected as a musician and songwriter. Do some research first before you make yourself look stupid.
This song was all over the radio when I was a little kid growing up in the 80’s and I have to say this, along with most songs from the 80’s, blows the shit out of what they put out now. Music, baseball, so much of America has lost its soul which is probably why we don’t know who we are anymore. Any who, great song from better times.
Well said, 'cept for the "any who". I'm rather sick of hearing people utter that "phrase". It makes no sense. At all. Let's put the "how" back where it belongs.
Saw this man in concert in 1987 on Pensacola Beach. 90 degrees, white tuxedo, large white piano, and I can still remember it like it was today. Amazing. Incredible voice and talent. Takes me back to a very special time. Thank you Bruce.
35 year's ago this song released.. 35 years ago i fell in love with this song. 35 years ago I was only 18 years old. Still this song bring tears to my eye's everytime listened to it. Thank u for the sweet memories that comes out from this song. Gratitude

Yeah, I'm guilty of that. Years ago when I delivered pizza I would listen to this song over and over while working.
You have to listen to it more than once.

This song is full of politics though. Against the suffering of the working and work-less classes. This song has good music AND good politics. ;)

@@2312sports music had emotion because the singers/performers had soul, had talent, had a drive to succeed. After the mid 90s, originality ceased to exist🙄
I feel your emotion. I promise.
My wife of 34yrs loved this song while we were dating. And I have always carriec the memories over the decades and thousands of miles across 2 continents....yes the 80' were great
Takes me back to simple life and great life as a teen.
One of the most bittersweet songs ever recorded.
Makes me sad I don't know why..
When he sings about the fact he knew she wouldn’t stay, and that it would break his heart, he still chose to spend those moments with her anyway....I’ve been there. And let me tell you, it hurts. But those moments when you chose to stay and hoped for the outcome that would make you happy, those are memories that help mold the person I am today
@@djensen2319 Yep I have experienced this as well. Being held by someone you know will leave you. But him leaving turned out for the best in end so he had wisdom I didn't.
Indeed😢❤
If he always knew that shed go is the train a gas lighting abandoning trajectory while she runs from something else. Is the Mandoline rain the only time she pops up? Because there has to be both a discussion about this type behavior at some point.
"I think about her when I hear that whistle blow." Somebody has to repeat this toxic ambivalent cycle. Meek humility finds as much self worth as it does responsibility and purpose. Someone has to go as she turns to gold.
This song takes me back to a moment in time when everyone I have ever truly loved was still alive, and everything was right in this crazy world.
That really put it in perspective
That made me cry. I understand that so well.
SAME 🙋🏾♀️ I would give anything to go back. Kids were safe in school, and accidental bump didn't get you shot. All of the adults were still alive..Now...everyone except my Sisters and Brothers are gone. I miss them all so much. 😪
Ditto
When the people we truly love die, our lives are never the same again. Little things can trigger happy memories and sadness simultaneously.
The song is killing me, just wish the 80's and 9o's come back again..

My grandma died in 1987 when I was 12 years old, was in the back seat of my parents car, heading to her funeral and this song came on the radio, it completely ruined me, was a tough night and this song takes me right back to all those memories like it happened yesterday

This song was released about 6 months after i was born. I only knew of it through it being played on a random community radio station here in Yorkshire.
This broke my heart in 1987 and it still does today.
2024 after being with a man for over 20yrs he left me after I was diagnosed with cancer 😢😢and left me all alone please everyone pray for me please thanks I’m so hurt!! I listen to this song ❤

There are certain songs that send you on an emotional trip. This is one of those songs.
And this is one of them 😢
It happened to me today that’s why I came here
Indeed!❤
I can’t stop crying
What a beautiful song 👏
Back in the 80s, I was a teenage metalhead....still am a metalhead, but I would still listen to Bruce Hornsby and Steve Winwood. listening to this song reminds me how much I miss those days.
You have depth!
Same here my friend I'm right there with you I miss the 80s as well and yes I'm still a head banger from the days of listening to Twisted Sister Van Halen and the Scorpions but I always loved Bruce Hornsby and the range and whole host of others but that's what makes me miss the 80s even more good music Good Times....
working class 80's music.
Me too!!!!!!
Same here!! From headbangers ball to the lighter stuff. It keeps our horizons broad!!
Over 35 years later and I still tear up to this song. Every. Single. Time.
I just about stopped crying. Man of 45.

Who else want's to go back to the 1980's? 💓
*I'd want to change things so life would be easier today, but alas those were fun days.*
Number one on the list
Me I've been ready for 34 years
Of course I would go back! I think this very thought every day. All the family members that have since passed, they were all here and happy. And so was I.
In a heartbeat
Please send me back to the 80’s!! Best of times! ❤❤❤
Amen!!
I hope all the good people out there are listening to this beautiful song in 2024!

Masterpiece Masterpiece Masterpiece ❤️
Bruce Hornsby's voice resonates within my soul body and spirit ❤️.No one in this world can tell me that they don't like this Song. Its absolutely a beautiful soothing Mandolin song. Bruce Hornsby's voice is so soothing soft and Beautiful ❤️ i listen to this Masterpiece while I work and it gets me through the day. I miss this kind of Music 🎶🎶😭

It makes me a crying wreck. I can only listen to it on occasions - it just does something to my soul.
Hands up all those who had tears in their eyes on hearing this song!!.. Me !!

You have my pity.
gaHAHAHAHAHA!
xD
Agreed.
"Listen to the tears roll down my face as she turns to go." Aw fuck. You got me, Bruce.
you bet!! I still love it...
64 AND still Loving and living his music. Good music never dies...
Why do great Musicians get pushed aside....& not receive the attention they deserve?....This is ONE Such Man!!!
Posted the other day on RUclips.. Bruce Hornsby, Chris Thile and a Louisville orchestra did this song. Look it up, it's beautiful!
People know he is a great musical talent more of a song writer been to his concerts he ask for request and mostly wants to play other peoples songs!
There are enough of us out there that recognize greatness, and thats just O K.
The money bubbles up to the lowest common denominator, for the most part. Don't get me wrong, I actually think lots of musicians that get hate today put out some good music. But some of the most popular music today doesn't rely on people learning actual songwriting, singing, and instrument mastery. What a shame, because there could be a tremendous renaissance of pop songs if more kids went back to their roots.
*one such band!
2023 I’m still here I’m a fan of Bruce s music especially this one!!! I love this sooo beautiful just sit and enjoy a glass of wine and enjoy this beautiful music 🎉🎉🎉🎊🎊🎊🎊❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏
Bruce Hornsby is an American treasure. No wonder Jerry Garcia recognized his talent so early . Such a lovely melodic percussive sound and a under appreciated soulful singer .
The best comment of read about this
Silky smooth
Treasure is right, well said!
This song is helping me overcome and defeat the worst anxiety I’ve ever had in my life.
Hang in there hold on Luciano....love conquers all!!
Never give up the fight❤💐
@@kayshawnsimmons6822 Thank you so much 😊
@@lucianoloya703 i know what your going thru and your not alone
There is help available but you must seek it out. They can't know who you are. They will help.
Once again. Once again. ☮️

Same. I will forever love this song
Very beautiful song indeed
Me too.. Baltimore and homegirl from the beautiful city. Love love Bruce Hornsby songs especially Mandolin Rain
@@nikkibrown7624 I cry whenever I hear it. Don't play it much.
Absolutely!
Songs like this really are a time machine to another time and place
I start crying two bars in. Amazing that I still do.
I miss you Dad. I’ll see you again oneday.
My Dad has been gone since 1995! I still miss him everyday
YES IN HEAVEN U WILL
I am 68 and I still listen to these songs. Always will
This song, for some inexplicable reason, brings me to tears, but also makes me happy. And teleports me back to my youth, the 80s and wonderful, wonderful memories…
Hello from the u.k.
I’m 65 now and bought this on release, never get tired of it
Hits me to the core, every time!
You're not alone, makes me cry every time 😢
Amazing 80s. I was 15 years old when it was released. I miss those years.
That's what I was thinking, it makes me cry and yet it makes me so happy. Beautiful music is like that.
You nailed it!@@tonnivando5078
Have you ever experienced a perfect moment in time? This song is that moment.
You get it.
agreed!!
Cá estou, no Brasil, ouvindo essa belíssima canção! Um verdadeiro clássico 🇧🇷💛💚😍🥰💕👏🏻👏🏻
This song touches the Soul to the core 😍
Hello, how are you doing it's nice meeting you here
I am from the future, here in 2587 we prefer 80's music over all others. Peace.
This is one of those songs that's just perfect. I wouldn't change a single note or word of it.
truth bro
Pure magic of nostalgia,
My thoughts exactly. It’s truly exquisite.
Everyone who loves nature, God and the simple and best things in life. Give thanks for memories and blessings from the Lord!
Anyone ever had the experience of hearing a song you’ve heard your whole life and hearing it out of the blue and realize it’s a masterpiece?
I’ve been listening to this song all day.
Oh yes. It was about five years ago when I heard this song playing in a McDonald’s, and it was the first time I had heard it in about 10 years. It immediately made me nostalgic for the times this song played on family road trips (which is saying something because I hate road trips).
I realized that I wasn’t listening to an ordinary song, but a masterful message of accepting heartache.
It’s a gorgeous song!
Welcome brother
I just did…. He is an awesome piano player and all around artist ❤️
You're spot on. I always liked it, but I played it again about six months ago, after a long hiatus, and now I can't "put it down."
This song still just gets me right in the heart
Hello Sandy how're you doing today?
Timeless song. Such an underrated artist. 🌠
I guess you weren't alive or missed the 80's because the album won him a Grammy and a hit on the Billboard charts in 1987. He was never underrated and well respected as a musician and songwriter. Do some research first before you make yourself look stupid.
This is one of the songs that is just pure magic.
Beautiful song, haunts me as it reminds me of my husband who died. Tears, lots of tears... love this song. Thank you for posting it.
I feel ya, I lost mine 3 years ago
Time is great medicine to heal all miserable happening s .Be well.jai sree Ram.god bless ALL.
Sorry for your lost 😞
Laura Adel Ginier so sorry for your loss and may you find comfort in the wonderful memories you and him created
An thing for you
OMG!!! Why am smile-crying 😭😭😭!!!
Bittersweet? 😂
Every single time I hear this amazing track I get tears that well up. It’s such an emotional melody and I love Bruce Hornsby and The Range! ❤❤❤
This song was all over the radio when I was a little kid growing up in the 80’s and I have to say this, along with most songs from the 80’s, blows the shit out of what they put out now. Music, baseball, so much of America has lost its soul which is probably why we don’t know who we are anymore. Any who, great song from better times.
Same here. Bruce Hornsby is the antithesis of corporate music industry, like he was just F-ing good that they couldn't deny him or change him.
Well said, 'cept for the "any who". I'm rather sick of hearing people utter that "phrase". It makes no sense. At all. Let's put the "how" back where it belongs.
80s we’re golden
We haven’t lost our soul, it’s just been corrupted by the emotional idiots that want to make others feel bad because they suck at life.
E ROCK - YOU'RE DEAD ON RIGHT.....SO SAD....
Saw this man in concert in 1987 on Pensacola Beach. 90 degrees, white tuxedo, large white piano, and I can still remember it like it was today. Amazing. Incredible voice and talent. Takes me back to a very special time. Thank you Bruce.
Hey dude I was there still live Freeport,lol,
35 year's ago this song released.. 35 years ago i fell in love with this song. 35 years ago I was only 18 years old. Still this song bring tears to my eye's everytime listened to it. Thank u for the sweet memories that comes out from this song. Gratitude

@@salimyusuff3571 It's a classic.
Same. This is the music of OUR era, our time.
U are still young
@@Michael-ss1wf not really when we crossed the 50s line ..yet my heart still way so much young 😊
