I played this song on my way to prison to remind myself i could do this. when i got in there i met the only other deadhead on the compound and we kept each other going thru music. He was white and im black but prison racial tension was never between us. We were from different walks of life and from different parts of the country. The only thing we had in common was the Grateful Dead and that was all we needed. When one of us was feelin down we'd crank up the tunes and jam. Makes me tear up thinkin about it. Couldnt have made it w/o him and the Dead is what brought us together, forever grateful.✌🏾😎🍄

The line, "I will get by, I will survive," became a mantra of resilience in the Dead community. When Jerry Garcia fell into a diabetic coma in July 1986, it looked like the group could be finished; when he returned to action in December, the group opened with "Touch Of Grey," reassuring fans that they would indeed get by.

Hey @snakeroll I hope you're doing ok. I'm 47 and depression runs in my family. Lost a brother to suicide, and 6 of 8 of my immediate family have attempted. I however have been one of the two exceptions. I think about this a lot. Why am I the way I am? I've always felt about the way I feel. Nothing makes me feel better, nothing makes me feel worse. And so I've concluded that there must those out there who naturally feel "bad". Just the way I naturally feel generally ok (not amazing, but ok). And they must just tend to hover there the way I tend to just hover here. It sounds like this person is you. So, in a way, I've been thinking about you off and on for at least 30 years. I've worried about you and I've hoped for you. And after 30 years of thinking I still don't really know what to say to you. Because what do I know about it? Nothing really. That's all I know, is that I know nothing about it. I'm a falconer. If you are drawn to outdoors, wildlife, or the natural cycle I suggest you look into it. There will be local groups or clubs maybe. Try looking them up on the internet and ask someone to take you out flying with their birds and see what you think of it. Hawks and falcons do not have easy lives. Nor do the prey that they hunt. If they succeed on a hunt, something dies. If they fail in hunting, they die. And that is the natural world that we are so detached from. Death is such a huge part of life, but we have been removed from that. Maybe reconnecting with nature and the natural life cycle would be helpful. Last thing I will say is I've seen a lot of things die. Predator and prey in the natural world and I will tell you this. None of them go quietly into that dark night. Even in scenarios where any right minded person would just let it end. They fight for every breath in every situation until the very end. And from that I've learned the value of this life. It is simply in life itself. It isn't complicated. Life is worth living, it is reason enough. You don't need to be safe, or happy, or comfortable, or anything. You just need to breath each breath and live it. Mice do it. Rabbits do it. Falcons do it. We can do it too. To the last breath.

Never was a big fan of the dead but this song really hit me last year. My dad was in the hospital and my mother was away visiting him for the week. They were both living with me at the time so it was odd to have the house so empty. There was constant worry, dread and anxiety I was facing cause of what was happening. One day during the week while bored, I started playing a youtube mix and came across this song. It spoke to me. I listened to it daily while my family was away it gave me a small glimpse of hope. I eventually got to take the trip as well to see my dad one last time before he passed away that fall. This song now has a very special place in my heart for getting me through one of the longest, most difficult weeks of my life. Rip dad...

I lost my friend recently who was an amazing human and a devoted Dead Head. One of those rare people you meet in life in passing you feel like you've known forever after a couple minutes. Heard this song for the first time in decades after coming home from his memorial service. It was all I could do to keep my composure, but in hindsight I think it would have been worth it to just give in and break down to let it out. Randy, you were an amazing friend, and I'll be seeing you soon.

Throughout the pandemic and lockdown I played this song every single morning as I walked into the hospital where I work. It kept me going...still keeps me going. 🖤🖤

My earliest memories are watching MTV in the late '80s/early '90s, and three music videos stand out: "Burning Down the House" by the Talking Heads, "Take On Me" by A-Ha, and "Touch Of Grey" by the Grateful Dead. This song and video holds a very special place in my heart.

Wild life Talking Heads

My dad just passed. And this song reminds me of better days. And that I will survive.

Oh Jerry Garcia, the world still needs you.

True story. Summer of 1971, I drove a van from Phoenix to LA, then took the coast highway to SF. No idea where to go in SF, took an exit off the highway, heard some music, found a parking space, and followed the sound. Free concert on a dock with Jerry Garcia and the dead. What a different world it was way back then.

My absolute favorite song of all time. You can have the worst day in the world life can be falling apart, wife can be taken all your money an feeding your kids a bunch of lies and this song right here just puts you at a ease. Thank you Grateful Dead. That is all I have to say cause it's all right.✌❤

My uncle Bobby turned me on to the Grateful Dead at an early age back in the 80's. This was always one of his favorite songs. We lost him last September to COVID. I play this song today in remembrance of him. Most of my music tastes today reflect what he introduced to me when I was young. I love you uncle Bobby, I miss you, and this will forever be our song.

May the Grateful Dead always survive! 😊

Rest well 'Rinbro', if you see Jerry somewhere down there, give him a holler.

I always thought this song was the perfect definition of irony. A song, written and performed by a band who couldn't have cared LESS about "mainstream" popularity or number 1 hits, that gave a bunch of "misfits" an international voice 35+yrs after they started their long strange trip... I'm reminded of how the late Bill Graham described the boy's after the last show at the Winterland Auditorium in SanFran ... "They're not the best at what they do, they're the ONLY ones who do what they do!!" Have a grateful day!!

Love and miss you mama, thank you for being you and raising me with the love of life in its real form. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I was recently reading a forum where everyone was fawning over the 80’s. It wasn’t great for everyone, including those affected by the farm crisis. Moving off the farm to town and getting cable so I could see this gem helped the pain. I was 14 and had no idea who The Grateful Dead were. I just knew I liked the song and video.

Reading the comments in this song makes me feel on one hand sad for all the loved ones up in heaven smilling down on us and on the other joy because they will always have someone listening to a cool song and remembering them

I'm a 28-year-old millenial, and I usually like electronic music, but this song put me so at peace that it's become my favorite song. I'm not in a depressive phase, but I deal with suicidal depression, and I suspect this song'll be a companion the next time depression rears its head. "I will get by... I will survive."

I was always out there just being a classic hippie. My first dead show was I believe 1990 in Albany NY. I was pregnant with my 4th child. That kid heard The Greatful Dead, Willie Nelson and the Roach Sisters while in utero. When he was 12yo we saw James Brown. Straight up and center at the stage. So so much fun. He's a very musical person and plays several instruments. It makes me feel good as a momma. He started out right!

89 was fine with their #1 classic🎤🎸🎹🎻

Never paid much attention to the dead in my High School years. Saw them live in 80. Been a fan ever since .

I just had to come here this song again today as I wore my Jerry Garcia t-shirt live from the Fontanne theater. There are certain songs that touch your soul that never get old and always give you chills every time you listen to them! This is one of those inspirational Timeless songs and God bless everybody here that this has helped! Rest in peace Jerry!

This song always, always finds me exactly when it's needed... As I sit here on a rock smoking the last of my blunt on a bluff, I am looking out at the sky and wouldn't you know the sky is parted with grey and yellow and there is a silver lining right below the grey..... Life is one long, strange trip and it may all be goin to hell in a bucket, but AT LEAST I'M ENJOYING THE RIDE!!! ⚡ WE WILL SURVIVE!!!

Hello new deadhead here! Discovered the dead 2 years ago.Just want to say thank you Grateful Dead for this song. To this day, it is helping get through things.

I’ve heard this song so many times and never knew this was Grateful Dead until now. I am now a sad and wiser man.
