In any event, I was instantaneously in love with some person who face I hadnвЂ™t seen yet.

I would nod and smile as if I knew what they were talking about. Now, mind you, this was after IвЂ™d had about two hundred people come up to me in various contexts and tell me that вЂњLooks Like RainвЂќ was the song they fell in love to, or was the song that was played at their wedding, or was the song that changed their lives and helped them feel like one person. DonвЂ™t even ask me what it was that I knew. I looked across a crowded room and saw somebodyвЂ™s back and knew. Twenty-one years later, I fell in love for the first time in my life. I didnвЂ™t know who these people in the song were or, really, what they were experiencing, but as it arrived, it seemed as genuine as any other love song. Nevertheless, there this song was on a winter day in Wyoming, and I didnвЂ™t try to stop it from coming into existence merely because it trafficked in emotions I hadnвЂ™t quite experienced.

I secretly believed that вЂњfalling in loveвЂќ was a conceit that people had made up in order to make themselves even more miserable for their perceived insufficiencies. I was not unfamiliar with the huge literature of amorous helplessness.

I had certainly heard a lot of love songs. When I wrote вЂњLooks Like Rain,вЂќ I had never fallen in love. ItвЂ™s a longish passage, but I think he wouldnвЂ™t mind my quoting it extensively here. When The Complete Annotated Grateful Dead Lyrics came into being as a printed book on paper, we were lucky enough to have Barlow contribute an afterword for the book, in which he relates a very personal perspective on the song. That opening phrase sequence, with Weir strumming the quiet arpeggios, then his voice entering, and finally: вЂњYou were goneвЂ¦вЂќ and the band enters, reinforcing the emotion behind the words. I remember being lucky enough to be in the first rows of a Greek Theater show in Berkeley in the early 1980s, when, between songs, an audience member shouted up to Phil Lesh, вЂњDoes it look like rain, Phil?вЂќ He put a finger to his lips with a sly smile-donвЂ™t spoil the surprise-and the band eased into the song. Which led me to think about вЂњLooks Like Rain,вЂќ a beautiful song with an implied story, deftly told by John Barlow, and sung and played so well over the years by the band. Last night, I went to a local nightclub to hear Bill KreutzmannвЂ™s new band, TryptoBand, and on their setlist was вЂњThe Wheel,вЂќ which was perfect given the pyrotechnics going on in the air outside the show. Right now, though, and for the past few days, it has been raining-a long, soaking rain with periods of intense thunderstorm activity. (IвЂ™ll consider requests for particular songs-just private message me!)Д¬alifornia has been begging for rain for a few years now, and we are in the midst of a serious drought.

Therefore, the best part, I would hope, would not be anything in particular that I might have to say, but rather, the conversation that may happen via the comments over the course of time-and since all the posts will stay up, you can feel free to weigh in any time on any of the songs!
