Hasten Down the Wind

About Hasten Down the Wind

"Hasten Down the Wind" is a song written and recorded by Warren Zevon and featured on his eponymous major-label debut album. The song was later covered by Linda Ronstadt, who would use the song as the title track for her seventh solo LP. The lyrics of the song describe the latter days of a relationship between a man and a woman, with the woman accepting that "nothing's working out the way they planned" before the man accepts that "she needs to be free". The track was produced by Jackson Browne, who met Zevon in the mid-seventies. Their relationship played a significant role in his career thereafter. It was with Browne's assistance that Zevon got a major record contract. Zevon's version of the song features Phil Everly singing harmony vocals, and also David Lindley playing slide guitar. more »

She tells him she thinks she wants to be free
He tells her he doesn't understand
She takes his hand
And tells him nothing's working out the way she planned

She's so many women
He can't find the one who was his friend
He's hanging on to half a heart
But he can't have the restless part

So he tells her to hasten down the wind
Now he agrees he thinks she ought to be free
Now she says she'd rather be with him
Oh it's just a whim

That she's designed to keep him out there on that limb
She's so many women
He can't find the one who was his friend
He hanging on to half a heart

But he can't have the restless part
So he tells her to hasten down the wind
He tells her to hasten down the wind
He tells her to hasten down the wind
