      So true. Some musicians can emote through their instruments, and Hornsby is definitely one of them.
      I recently listened to an old Journey song, Send Her My Love, and Neil Schon does the same thing with an electric guitar (not an instrument you think of as emotional lol) in that song. The guitar solo sounds almost wistful.

    I just pretended to be cool about it, while in fact I was, and still am, shattered.
    That was a month ago. Since then everything went downhill.
    It's just difficult to put your feelings away and stil try to be there for her when she needs me.

    This is one of the finest songs ever written, thank you Bonnie Raitt. Great vocal.
    Bruce Hornsby played beautifully and was fully featured (btw. he started as Linda Ronstadts pianist) but yet again Bonnie missed the chance to demo her lead guitarist /slide guitar mastery on an important occasion of record. Like many great women she is naive about self promotion/ getting full recognition for real talent. This was definitely the place for that.

    Bruce Hornsby fighting back tears at 0:26... you can tell he really feels that riff and sprinkles his sound on it... so awesome
