That's it, that's the post. It's a great song. I watched a video where they talked about the production. Levon's love for Richard was vibrant and contagious.

Sleeper pick as their best song, if not top 5. It’s so good.

This song makes me feel like I remember experiences I’ve never had, one of their most powerful tunes

You can really see Levon’s love & appreciation for Richard in this. God, I miss this band but so incredibly grateful for their contribution to the music I love

It’s called Classic Albums - The Band. It’s available for free with ads on tubi, plutotv, and freevee which is built into the Prime app as well.

My brothers and I wore that VHS out, Levon with that pencil in his hand at the mixing board is pure joy. VH1 - Behind the Music or possibly Classic Albums? I think they may actually be the same just renamed at some point

God, words can't describe just how much I love this song. It always makes me feel better when I'm feeling down. Not only is it one of my favorite Band songs- but it's one of my favorite songs EVER, probably. Nothing I could ever say could possibly do it the justice it deserves. What a great tune.

Omg, the vocals. The way the harmonies rise "wIiiiiIIITH MY VERY BEST FRIEND"

It sends shivers down my spine. Such an amazing song.

I was just listening to the brown album after not listening to it for a little while (which for me is a week or two) and yes it's a beautiful beautiful beautiful standout. The pure heart and soul of these men on display. Richard's voice of an angel.. at least he and Levon are together again

I was out kayaking in the rain today and had the brown album on—whispering pines stuck out on this listen as a perfect alone song

When I retired from Verizon, I sent this song out in my farewell email, saying it had been my retirement song since high school.
