These Days (Jackson Browne Song)
"These Days" is a song written by Jackson Browne and principally recorded by Nico, Gregg Allman, and Browne himself in three distinctly different musical styles. Though the song was first recorded by Nico in 1967, Browne had written an early version of the song several years earlier, at the age of 16. The song, which deals with themes of loss and regret, has over the years, in the words of the Los Angeles Times, "quietly become a classic". Pitchfork Media's 2006 ranking of "The 200 Greatest Songs of the 1960s" placed the Nico "These Days" at number 31.
