美國歌手Jack Tempchin某次在家鄉聖地牙哥的一間民歌咖啡館演唱，想要勾搭店裡的一位女侍，未料這位女侍虛與委蛇，一去不回，應該是時間已晚，使得他已無交通工具返家，只得將就睡在店裡的地板上，而一時又睡不著，乾脆拿起吉它來寫歌，並將歌詞寫在朋友替他製作的演唱宣傳單的背面 ( 此張寫了歌詞的宣傳單，目前被收藏在葛萊美的博物館。) 也是這首《Peaceful Easy Feeling》的初版，之後陸續在其他場合將這首歌補充完成，時間應該是在1969左右。

據寫歌的Jack Tempchin在後來接受訪談時說，這不全然是首情歌，說的是就算女方最後未接納男子，他應該都能承受得住而繼續前行--- Cause I'm already standin' on the ground。感覺對於感情挫敗的反應堅強又灑脫，這或許是因為對感情的投入還不太深吧！對於失戀，能否在短時間內即跳出傷痛，還真的要實際遇上了才能知道。

 

看此影音，想到後來Glenn Frey和左右兩位的貝士手及主奏吉他手均不歡而散，Frey自己則已在2016向上帝報到，頗是令人感慨。

 

來聽聽荷蘭的Eagles現場演唱此曲

I like the way your sparkling earrings lay

Against your skin so brown
And I want to sleep with you in the desert night
With a billion stars all around
'Cause I got a peaceful easy feelin'
And I know you won't let me down
'Cause I'm already standin'
On the ground
And I found out a long time ago
What a woman can do to your soul
Aw but she can't take you any way
You don't already know how to go
And I got a peaceful easy feelin'
And I know you won't let me down
'Cause I'm already standin'
On the ground
I get this feelin' I may know you
As a lover and a friend
This voice keeps whisperin' in my other ear
Tells me I may never see you again
'Cause I get a peaceful easy feelin'
And I know you won't let me down
'Cause I'm already standin'
I'm already standin'
Yes, I'm already standin'
On the ground
