I heard this song for the first time about 2 weeks ago in the grocery store. I noticed the stock clerk was singing along. I asked him if he knew who this was. He said it was one of his favorites. Good songs have longevity and cross generations. The clerk was in his 20's and I turn 62 in Dec. This is now added to my list of favorite songs!

My husband died in 2004. He was only 36. He loved this song. I am missing him tonight. Song reunites us for a season... TY

Dude wrote this song when he was about 20 years old. Crazy to me

[LargeVanillaShake]

This one pulled me through 32 years of addiction and finally helped me out of it in recovery.

My friend passed away today. He taught me this song on guitar. This is for you Robbie. Fly high brother. You are missed.

My little sister Erin and I used to sing this in a cover band years ago. She passed suddenly July 21st 2022 and I miss her so much. I thought about this song today...."whisper on a scream doesnt change a thing doesnt bring you back, blue on black" Farewell sis I'll see you again one beautiful day

My friend who passed away from cancer a few years ago put me on to this song.

[clairegass]

This song needs to be played more often on the radio

[Landstander-tovh]

Instant classic, then, still stands tall 25 years on. Simple truth, scorching riff.

[otiscarter]

Use to listen this in Afghanistan.

Got me through some awful days

[MrDeengels]

Saw Kenny open for Jimmy Page and the crowes in 98 great year!!

I'm 21, full of emptyness, trauma & broken dreams, but I have dreams and promises i made to myself, I love this song & i've been listening to it since i was 13. Ill be back to see this comment when i'm climbing.

[disturbingthepieces]

This song came out in 98 when i was a freshman in high school & solidified my love of rock. Introduced to my 13 year old daughter. One of the GOATs!

[tristanwood]

I'm so glad I seem to have inherited my dad's taste in music. He introduced me to this song when I could count my years on one hand. It is still as good as I remember, listening to it in dad's truck on the way to school in the morning.

My uncle passed away the other day. He played this song so good I thought it was his original. Love you AJ . Rock on

[MVuke]

One of the best songs to learn as a beginner, or for anyone. Hard to believe Kenny Wayne Sheppard wasn't even 21 years young yet, but played the guitar like he was 40.

[NoHairMon]

Went to see him in Philly many years ago. Needless to say he was amazing.

[MdfSlf]

My late husband and I danced to this at the bar several times, and played this song at home. He taught me that the band is called Kenny Wayne Shepherd, but the lead singer is Noah Hunt, so cool many memories of my late husband to this great song and so many others. Honey I love you and miss you and when its my turn to be with you again, we will be jammin'. MDF+SLF forever

[Sunny-ilxm]

Didn't know who he was, he opened for Van Halen on last tour, can't get over how phenomenal this guy is! He's coming back on his own, definitely want to go see him again, what a talent!!

[triagrammer]

As long as people keep uploading this song, I'll keep giving it thumbs up.
