My Heart Bursts With Joy

I'm still struggling pretty badly here, but my heart bursts with joy.

I want your hearts to burst with joy too.

I love all you people.

The guitar solo in this song between 4:05 and 6:25 lifts me up, makes me feel like I am floating.

You all stay strong and be joyful.

We have but one life.

Be joyful through the misery.

I'll be checking in when I can.

There’s more of those two than evil. Just gets less press.

I am so glad you are feeling joy! It has been a rough time for all of us, and sometimes joy and happiness are hard to find.

You have brightened my day and given me a reason to smile.

That attitude will get you through the bad times much better than any prescribed medication can. I am a firm believer that the mind and heart is elemental to one's well-being. Hang in there. You always bring the laughs.

....the joy of remembering them playing free in Golden Gate Park helps too! Thanks for the reminder that maybe these kinds of memories are still possible for my (and your) grandchildren!

I saw my first one in Chicago’s Rosemont Horizon in Spring of ‘89. I had lost my party way before the show and was flying solo for the first set, and they played it. It was so amazing! I was jamming with all of my new found friends without a care in the world. I have forever been enthralled with this song!! Thanks for sharing, and rekindling that feeling! “If you get confused, listen to the music play”.
