Grateful Dead Song Insights

Someone once asked Robert Hunter what it was like writing songs with Jerry Garcia. Robert said "It's like throwing pennies off the Brooklyn Bridge as opposed to throwing pennies in a pond."

Have you ever listened to a Grateful Dead song and wondered what they were trying to say? This quiz is not about such trivia as times and places or whom wrote or sung what song. But it covers the original idea/inspiration/influence behind each song on six iconic Grateful Dead albums. Includes Workingman's Dead, American Beauty, Wake Of The Flood, From The Mars Hotel, Blues For Allah and Terrapin Station.

This is not so much a competition, but more of a fun way to learn about what the Grateful Dead were thinking of when they wrote songs. You can guess if you are not sure of the answer from the multiple choice questions but do go back and use the Answer button for all the questions so you can see what the story was regarding each song.

The game includes a link to the song in YouTube so you can listen to it if you are not sure you remember how it goes (use the "go back" button on your phone to return to the quiz, it is usually on the bottom right of your phone) !

It should be pointed out that there is no all encompassing single influence for a song. There are usually many. The ideas and stories in the quiz are from several references and are generally thought of as the main impetus or idea behind the song but only the Grateful Dead truly know what their influences were.

曾经有人问罗伯特·亨特（Robert Hunter）和杰里·加西亚（Jerry Garcia）一起写歌是什么感觉。罗伯特说：“这就像在布鲁克林大桥上扔几分钱，而不是在池塘里扔几分钱。”

您是否曾经听过《感恩的死者》这首歌，想知道他们想说什么？这个测验不是关于时间和地点的琐事，也不是谁写或唱了什么歌。但这涵盖了六张标志性的Grateful Dead专辑中每首歌背后的原始想法/灵感/影响。包括《劳动者之死》，《美国美女》，《洪水的唤醒》，《火星酒店》，《安拉的忧郁》和《 Terrapin Station》。

这并不是一场比赛，而是一种有趣的方式来了解感恩之死在创作歌曲时的想法。您可以猜测自己是否不确定选择题中的答案，但可以返回并使用“答案”按钮来回答所有问题，以便了解有关每首歌曲的故事。

该游戏包含指向YouTube中歌曲的链接，因此，如果不确定自己是否记得歌曲的播放方式，可以收听它（使用手机上的“返回”按钮返回测验，通常位于右下角）您的手机）！

应该指出的是，一首歌并没有全部包含单一影响。通常有很多。测验中的想法和故事来自多个参考文献，通常被认为是歌曲背后的主要推动力或想法，但只有Grateful Dead才真正知道它们的影响。
