Grateful Dead

The Grateful Dead was an American rock band formed in 1965 in Palo Alto, California. The band was known for its unique and eclectic style, which fused elements of rock, folk, bluegrass, blues, reggae, country, improvisational jazz, psychedelia, and space rock, and for live performances of long musical improvisation. "Their music," writes Lenny Kaye, "touches on ground that most other groups don't even know exists." These various influences were distilled into a diverse and psychedelic whole that made the Grateful Dead "the pioneering Godfathers of the jam band world." They were ranked 57th in the issue The Greatest Artists of all Time by Rolling Stone magazine. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994 and their Barton Hall Concert at Cor… more »

Morning comes
She follows the path to the river shore
Lightly sung
Her song is the latch on the morning's door
See the sun sparkle in the reeds
Silver beads pass into the sea

She comes from a town where they
Call her the woodcutter's daughter
She's brown as the bank where she
Kneels down to gather her water
And she bears it away with a love
That the river has taught her
Let it flow, greatly flow, wide and clear

Round and round
The cut of the plow in the furrowed field
Seasons round
The bushels of corn and the barley meal
Broken ground
Open and beckoning to the spring
Black dirt live again

The plowman is broad as the back
Of the land he is sowing
As he dances the circular track
Of the plow ever knowing
That the work of his day measures
More than the planting and growing
Let it grow, let it grow, greatly yield

What shall we say, shall we call it by a name
As well to count the angels dancing on a pin
Water bright as the sky from which it came
And the name is on the earth that takes it in
We will not speak but stand inside the rain
And listen to the thunder shout
I am, I am, I am, I am

So it goes
We make what we made since the world began
Nothing more, the love of the women
Work of men
Seasons round, creatures great and
Small, up and down, as we rise and fall

What shall we say, shall we call it by a name
As well to count the angels dancing on a pin
Water bright as the sky from which it came
And the name is on the earth that takes it in
We will not speak but stand inside the rain
And listen to the thunder shout
I am, I am, I am, I am
