Just a beauitiful record and song. Not a deadhead and understand the reluctance of many to endure a dead show, but here you can feel the making of a truly great track. The lyrics are awesome.

This is their best album and this may be their song.

Beautiful, happy, thoughtful, joyful.  

And just like that....it's gone.

I really do dislike the use of autotune. But this track?...may be a case for had it existed. By sheer will I really do try to get those vocals to match with the guitars. I guess I'm not willing it hard enough. Painful.

Changing it to a 10 to spite all the naysayers. Great memories associated with this song. I guess you had to be there.

I don't know about you, but I love these lyrics!
It's the same story the crow told me; its the only one he knows.
Like the morning sun you come and like the wind you go.
Aint no time to hate, barely time to wait,
Wo, oh, what I want to know, where does the time go?

one of the better songs of one ogf the most embarrasing bands of all time. :-((
this one reminds me a little bit of the Incredible String Band, but of course ISB were not able to perform such a weak version ...

This is one of a very small number of Dead songs that I like.  Maybe I missed that particular LSD trip by a couple decades, but I've never been a fan.

Kind of like any movie with Rob Schneider in it but has there ever been a decent song featuring a wood block in the percussion section?

 
There have been hundreds of "decent" songs with woodblocks in them, perhaps not so much in the Classic Rock genre though.

The Grateful Dead songs dealt quite a bit with mortality, and Workingmans Dead album maybe more than any other. These are non-trivial songs that express a coherent and powerful world view, which is why there are so many "deadicated" Deadheads, and why the Dead have been relevant for nearly half a century.  This is a timeless all-American album whose sound will never be dated, and certainly isn't more than 40 years after its release.

"Their walls are filled with cannonballs/Their motto is 'Don't tread on me...'" A mere four years after their first album and subsequent forays into extended psychedelia, this album was astonishing for its simplicity, beauty, and lack of hippie-dippie pretension. I was caretaking a student housing co-op, which was otherwise closed for the summer—uber creepy—when I first heard this on, I think, KSAN. Rushed out and got the album the same day—which wasn't difficult since the record store was on the next block—Euclid Avenue on Berkeley's north side; back then a tight little community and a lot of fun.

yeah, yeah they were a Jam band and not such great tunesmiths but this one and Friend of the Devil are damn good songwriting and this one especially brightens my mood!
