.........During their Cosmic Muffin years The Grateful Dead did produce some incredibly beautiful songs...of great lyrical ambiguity
Your rain falls like crazy fingers Peals of fragile thunder keeping time Recall the days that still are to come some sing blue. Hang your heart on laughing willow stray Down to the water, deep sea of love beneath the sweet calm face of the sea swift undertow. Life may be sweeter for this, I don't know, See how it feels in the end. May Lady Lullaby sing plainly for you soft, strong, sweet and true. Cloud hands reaching from a rainbow tapping at the window, touch your hair So swift and bright strange figures of light float in air. Who can stop what must arrive now? Something new is waiting to be born Dark as the night you're still by my side shine inside . Gone are the days we stopped to decide where we should go, we just ride. Gone are the broken eyes we saw through in dreams gone, both dream and lie. Life may be sweeter for this, I don't know, Feels like it might be alright, While Lady Lullaby sings plainly through you Love still rings true. Never could reach it, just slips away but I try.

You know Jeff, I don't listen to that much Dead; and I had no idea they dabbled at allin reggae...or whatever Caribbean styling this is. I enjoyed, and I even lost track of who I was listening to about halfway through. gimme some dem ambiguous muffins, man.
They were into stream of consciousness as a method.
I'm not much of a Dead fan at all but did really like their song 'A Touch Of Grey'. I actually do like this song too. Quite different. Thanks for posting it.
Did you have to be an acid head to like these guys? Sorry Jeff, I've just never been a fan, although this has more harmony than what I've heard otherwise.
(yawn)
One of their great albums. I prefer the spacey and jazzy stuff on Allah, but it's filled with unique styles and uniquely Dead charactistics. For those that actually bother to listen, of course.
