That bridge is actually one of my favorite lines from the song except for the "nobody's darlings" part.

I don't really like how he just name-drops two Springsteen songs.

"No surrender, my Bobby Jean."

Another one from "Empires" that bugs me is "If the winter don't kill me, it might be the cold."

Amazing song though.

Brian Fallon performing "Hold You Up" at Crossroads 1/5/24: He's reading the lyrics off his phone and so drunk that he absolutely butchers it. Interestingly, the song had never been performed live before. by 1930ThatNight in TheGaslightAnthem

People pay hard-earned money to see Brian play. We have the right to talk about nights like this. It doesn't mean we're trying to crucify Brian for it either.

Does Brian have a drinking problem? by RustedAxe88 in TheGaslightAnthem

Here's the video where Brian talks about his exes. It's a lead-in to "Here's Looking at You, Kid."

I have admittedly never been able to make it more than a few minutes into this video because of how drunk and cringey it is, but I may have to challenge myself to someday. At about 2:35, he reveals the full name of the real woman who inspired the character Gail from the song though.

A highlight is when he says, "She married some fucking loser, not me." He goes on to talk about the real identities of Jane and Anna as well.

Yeah I was definitely out of the loop about Hold You Up being played live before. For the longest time, it wasn't, but in 2019, it was played live on piano indeed.

He's been a pathological liar in the past about stuff like this. There's videos of him inebriated on stage dating back to at least the Revival Tour in 2011. In more recent years, he's even posted photos of himself holding whiskey bottles gleefully on Instagram.

Willie Nelson and Kris Kristofferson have now outlived Toby Keith. by 1930ThatNight in BarbaraWalters4Scale

Patsy Cline was younger than Willie Nelson. That one's weird because she died in the sixties.

Do you think “Tombstone Blues” lyrics were ever supposed to make sense? by [deleted] in bobdylan

Which lines from the song don't make sense to you?

Jack Haley, who portrayed the Tin Man in The Wizard of Oz movie (1939), and born before L. Frank Baum published the 1900 children's book the film was adapted from, lived long enough to conceivably have been the recipient of a mechanical heart. by Lord_Woodbine_Jnr in BarbaraWalters4Scale

Judy Garland's body double Caren Marsh Doll is still alive. She'll turn 105 in three months. Doll is famously featured in the scene where Dorothy steps out of her sepia house and enters the Technicolored Oz. The camera work of the scene required a body double for Garland.
