    Chorus:
    (That's just the way it is) well, they passed a law in '64
    To give those who ain't got a little more
    But it only goes so far
    Because the law don't change another's mind
    When all it sees at the hiring time
    Is the line on the color bar, no, no
    That's just the way it is
    And some things will never change
    That's just the way it is
    That's just the way it is, it is, it is, it is

    What a humble musician who let the other pianist take the main solo, then during his own solo( while he is tickling the keys to death) he brings in a shredding guitar all for the sake of an absolute banger of a live performance… Bravo to everyone!

      God bless you, Ethan.

    The song that started it all for BH. This version is the very definition of professional musicians seriously on their game. So damn tight. I had to listen again, especially that last few minutes. So much sound. Trying to figure out who is hitting it hardest. Bruce slaying the piano, the bass in the groove, the guitar player... holy shit and then, keeping it all together, the drummer. Damn.

    I work on guitars for some world famous folks. Some of them "guitar heroes". Sometimes I work deep in the night when no-one else is around. No outside sounds. That's when I put on this band .. to get me happier and enjoy my work. ... and I do BETTER work because of the positive energy this band puts out there. SO co-supportive. SO communal and uplifting ... SO much in the realm of spirit, to me. This stuff is inspirational.
    ... WOW !!! .... THANK YOU Bruce and that AMAZING band.

    Amazing!! The entire performance, the set crew, the videographers, the studio level talent is wonderful. I love the slide bass big smiles and the Mark Knofler influenced guitarist. The rhythm keyboardist looks like he is having the time of his life with that giant open smile! Such a departure from the original with the skill oozing from the piano just about 20 years later? I loved the original tune at 16 years old and this just takes it up a few notches to perfect! Nothing like a live revamp with every musican in the zone! But from 2004, this celebrates our love for the artist. ❤

  • @eamonnmorris5331

    This is what a 'live' version is all about - it takes the original great song and turns it into something so much more. It builds and builds, bit by bit - never too much tension (noise), never too little (boring) - all the while taking us on a journey to heights we may not have thought possible.

      Are you sure about that? Check out Way it is tour 86-87 album. That live cut is pretty damn close to the album and so is the other tracks. There’s scenes from the Southside tour playlist on here too that version and tracks are pretty good also along with Hornsby and the range live during the night on the town tour 1990 on here as well all three versions are better than this. He’s still good but his material and live shows have become way too jazzy for me. I prefer his more pop mainstream commercial sound that he had with his four and five piece band the range.

    When I first heard this song I was four, in a dept store with my mum, listening in amazement. Three years later, I was learning Piano and loving it but not quite understanding why! Thirty-three more years later, I am a full time musician still in love with playing and performing. So I guess I owe you a high five Bruce Hornsby, a HUGE high five! Love you man, thank you for doing what you do! I hope you are great and can still feel fondly about all the amazing things you have achieved along the way. It was the greatest honour to be introduced to such a beautiful artform by such a beautiful person and performer. Thank you thank you thank you Bruce, will remember that moment forever! Amazing band too ;)

Either way, I've always loved the song. It just completely relaxes me and makes me happy for some reason. Yeah I'll upload a good live piano version of it I just found, I downloaded it and changed the speed of it to pretty much match the original; the live version's speed was too fast.

    Sublime Bruce. Simply sublime. One of my favourite songs of all time. Thank you for sharing so much of your amazing music with the world. I, for one, have LOVED it.
