Bruce Hornsby- The Way It Is

Great song! i don't think i have ever seen this song get love on here! the org has peole who loved and lived in the 80's wasn't this a number 1 hit?

The piano is great and it was good social conscious music that still managed to be catchy.

Pistols sounded like "Fuck off," wheras The Clash sounded like "Fuck Off, but here's why.."- Thedigitialgardener

All music is shit music and no music is real- gunsnhalen

I missed this in the 80's though I knew a lot of songs during it too, I was really young in the 80's. I discovered it sometime after it was sampled for Tupac's Just the Way It Is, which I also really loved.

Dig both tunes.

And you'd really have to because you'll wade through a ton of really bad covers.

But when you're just about to chuck it...

And then, just as unexpectedly, it cuts off. confused

Great songs. Bruce had another #1 hit not long after when Huey Lewis & The News took "Jacob's Ladder" to the top.

I've met with Bruce on a few occasions as he's from my area. Very nice guy...
