I guess we all are in agreement about this song. I've been listening to it on my way to work (I had time to repeat it 4 times ) and it's one of my favourites. The vocals, harmonies, the melody... just beautiful. I would love to hear this song live.

I totally agree with you: this song is a masterpiece from all points of view!
I can't stop listening to it either... the harmonies are wonderful, the music too... it's so perfect! An Eagles song as I love them
Maleah, I love the part you mentionned too, one of my favourite! Don's voice sounds amazing there, as usual :P
Looks like Im' the only one who doesn't think this song is the best song on the record. I like it OK, it's pretty, but it's not my favorite. It's a little too long.
I agree Bomber, I like it but it's not my favourite.
I love this one too, especially when Timothy comes in there at the end. I do the same thing PLS, I go right in there with Timothy and forget all about Don!
I possess the silver bullets to slay the demons from my past. How do I know? Because I survived them-and I am already stronger than I believe.
I had to go back and read everyone's first comments about WITW since it won the Survivor game. And I agree now more than ever. It's a masterpiece!
I, too, am sad that it wasn't written by Don and Glenn rather than Don and Steuart, but what can we do? I wish they (Don & Glenn) would have gotten together more, but I suppose we'll just have to accept them however we can get them.

Geez, I'm getting old. I forgot to ask my question, which was the main reason for my post!
Near the end of the song, Don sings
"The phases of the moon
The chambers of the heart
The egg and dart"
I don't get the egg and dart part. Hoping I'm not showing my complete ignorance, but anyone know?

How's that? Three posts in a row!
Just wanted to celebrate with Don and Waiting In The Weeds for a few days.
Now Glenn, don't think I've deserted you! I'll be back!

Actually, having voted against it in the final round, I'm now inclined to agree that it is a superb piece of songwriting. It was my third favourite all along, but probably really my second favorite, after WDIDWMH, which for whatever reason, is the one I want to play over and over again.
Drat, I forgot to answer you, Brooke, and the Egg and Dart. This is an architectural term referring to a style of ornamentation which resembles a sea urchin and an upright element. I only grasped it after a crossword question a few weeks ago!
Thank you gef. Now that you explained it, I know an example of what it is. I have seen this "egg and dart" design in antique, ornate woodwork.Originally Posted by glenneaglesfan
That Don, he is good with his craft!
