Doctor, my eyes have seen the years
And the slow parade of fears without crying
Now I want to understand
I have done all that I could
To see the evil and the good without hiding
You must help me if you can
Doctor, my eyes
Tell me what is wrong
Was I unwise to leave them open for so long
'Cause I have wandered through this world
And as each moment has unfurled
I've been waiting to awaken from these dreams
People go just where they will
I never noticed them until I got this feeling
That it's later than it seems
Doctor, my eyes
Tell me what you see
I hear their cries
Just say if it's too late for me
Doctor, my eyes
I Cannot see the sky
Is this the prize for having learned how not to cry......

The New York Times has a story this morning (11-21-24) about Jesse Ed Davis, the musician who did the guitar solo for this song. He was an immense talent who died way too young -- a victim of addiction. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/1... (Article likely behind a paywall. Sorry.)

Does the female form make you uncomfortable, Mr. Floydoftherocks? Browne's art has been commended as strongly vaginal, which bothers some men. The word itself makes some men uncomfortable. Vagina. They don't like hearing it, they find it difficult to say whereas without batting an eye, a man will refer to his dick or his rod or his...johnson.

What Leland Sklar's bass playing does for this song can't be overstated. It propels it, drives it, makes it great. Easy to overlook, but really really important. Leland Sklar

A great talent and please don't believe any bullshit you may have heard.
This is a 10 in my book, so much talent packed into one song. Fabulous performances from fabulous players (and singers), and a fabulously well-crafted song!
The segway from John Hiatt to this was smooooooth
Nice one.

One of my favourite all-time songs.

Takes me back to the time my dad and I, before he went to work, me to school, (I was 13) sitting at the breakfast table playing gin rummy and eating Saltines, drinking Doles Pineapple juice. Very happy times!! Nice!
One of the Greats!

I love you, RP, but note to the BrainTrust:
Jackson Browne has 75 more mature, sophisticated, under-played songs (than this overplayed FM "hit") that I wish RP would rotate.

The Jackson 5 version of this song was my first exposure to it as a kid in the 70's. Liked it then, like it now.
Maybe I'm just tired of hearing this but this song doesn't do it for me. I like other Jackson Browne stuff but not this one. It's just me, right?
Love the congas — or is it bongos? That slapping really works with the rocking piano and chirping lap steel.
C L A S S I C.
Pure, perfect classic.

Lyrics still applicable.
I just saw an incredible 2-hour documentary on David Geffen last night. While one could argue that he (Geffen) eventually sold his soul for the almighty dollar, his early career was quite fascinating. Jackson was one of his first discoveries/signings.
Great song, great guitar playing and the bass keeps it going. I bought this when it came out and pretty well every JB album after that.

I had a dream that Jackson Browne lost a lawsuit and was forced to put a warning label on all his albums: "BUYER BEWARE. ALL SONGS BY JACKSON BROWNE ARE ACTUALLY THE SAME SONG".
It was just a dream. I really do love Jackson Browne's music, though you have to admit, he uses the same melody lines and chord progressions in most of his songs.
"Doctor My Eyes" is one of my favorite songs ever, so I'm giving it a high rating.

Wasup? Why don't y'all's comments match the overall ratings of this song? I guess it's because it's comforting to join in on the cheap shots for those of you who missed the era and the experience. You'll never know how affecting it was hearing this song blared through the minds of the people at public gatherings before the onset of disco.
Classic! In addition to a great song, I also love where the tells the doctor to say what to say! =)
This the Radio Station I hope more people watch
Give me the Jackson 5 version anyday.
Sorry Jackson, nice song and all that, but MJ and the boys do it better.

Holy CRAP! That version actually has some music to it! I always thought that it was just the song that was soulless.

All rights reservedBest song from his best album.
As soon as this song cued up I thought "great song!" Then my second thought was "Oh no, the comments will be full of that 'this song is soooooo overplayed' "
It remains a great song, and I was only partially right about the comments. Fortunately only a couple of the I've Heard This Song Before So It Must Be Bad Police have made their way to this song's comments (so far).

There were also barrels of water strategically placed at pullovers on old US 66 going through the desert in California for those boiling over radiators.
It's a water bag, kind of canteen - it could duble as a wine bola too! You saked the bag and it kept the contents cool as the water on the outside evaporated.
Love the tune - this was a good era of music coming out of the 60's before disco really took off.

I just love this song. The lyrics, the instruments (man, that bass is so cool!), the vocals.
Was there ever a song so plain as this?
A great song - lyric, melody and craftmanship. I don\'t give a sh*t who plays it.
