Song of the Day (261): Box of Rain – The Grateful Dead   

Song of the Day (261) - Box of Rain by The Grateful Dead

What do you want me to do? 

This song is searching for answers, trying to find a way. Walking through a dream or is it life? I’m trying to be there for you, not sure what you want and what can I do? Is this world not enough? 

Such a long, long time to be gone 
And a short time to be there 

Phil Lesh takes the lead on the vocals for the first time on a song where he wrote the music while tending to his dying father and Robert Hunter provided the words to articulate what Lesh felt.
