Image
Out into the cool of the evening strolls the pretender. He knows that all his hopes and dreams begin and end there.
Jackson Browne
Image
Let the disappointments pass, let the laughter fill your glass.
Jackson Browne
Image
I love to read. I love to stretch. In the morning, I get up, and if I'm not in a hurry, I will lie on the floor on a rug, look through some books and magazines, and maybe listen to music and try to do stretching exercises to tune up.
Jackson Browne
Image
The idea that I wrote something that stood for the way I feel about things, and that it lasts, that's probably my favorite thing that I've done.
Jackson Browne
Image
I'd have to say that my favorite thing is writing a song that really says how I feel, what I believe - and it even explains the world to myself better than I knew it.

Hunger in the midnight, hunger at the stroke of noon Hunger in the banquet, hunger in the bride and groom Hunger on the TV, hunger on the printed page And there's a God-sized hunger underneath the questions of the age

Let the disappointments pass Let the laughter fill your glass Let the illusions last until they shatter Whatever you might hope to find among the thoughts that crowd your mind There won't be many that ever really matter.

Somewhere between the time you arrive and the time you go may lie a reason you were alive, but you'll never know.
Jackson Browne

Caught between the longing for love, and the struggle for the legal tender, where the sirens sing and the church bells ring, and the junk man pounds his fender. Where the veterans dream of the fight, fast asleep at the traffic light, and the children solemnly wait for the ice cream vendor.
Jackson Browne

We may lose and we may win, but we will never be here again.
Jackson Browne
Image
That's maybe the most important thing each generation does, is to break a lot of rules and make up their own way of doing things.
Jackson Browne
Image
I grew up reading Shakespeare and Mark Twain.

Very often it's really inconvenient - who you fall in love with. You can't really control it.

The first to come and the last to go, working for that minimum wage.

The biggest influence? I've had several at different times - but the biggest for me was Bob Dylan, who was a guy that came along when I was twelve or thirteen and just changed all the rules about what it meant to write songs.
Jackson Browne
Image
Also, right at that particular time in the music business, because of people like the Beatles, people began owning their own publishing. I'll just say this really quickly - they used to divide the money for the music that was written in two, just equal halves.

I never was a very good singer.
Jackson Browne
Image
I taught myself to play the piano, because I wanted to play it.

Rock me on the water Sister will you soothe my fevered brow Rock me on the water I'll get down to the sea somehow

When you turn out the light, I've got to hand it to me. Looks like it's you and me again tonight Rosie.
