but at least we're still kickin' and able to remember when music was basically a movement, so much new stuff happening in the music scene and i'm glad i was there
I lived in this song as I looked desperately to find myself after 3 brutal combat tours in Vietnam. I’m 75 now and still looking for that boy that shipped out to war. He was lost somewhere over there and never came back.
We aren't the same we was a moment ago, the boy who went out there was bound to change, you can't go back to where you was, you can only move forward and aren't the same man who returned either.
When I was a young boy back in the early 70's, I only had one friend. A girl named Veronica who was a year older and lived across the street. When I was around 6 or 7, she developed a brain tumor and wound up passing away in the next year. This song has always been a reminder of our friendship that was ended too soon, and I always get teary-eyed when I hear it.
John I am sorry about your friend no matter how long ago it seems like yesterday and other time's it feels like forever 😭🙏 my brother died of AIDS in my arms in 1991 and he used to play this song and little did I know he was trying to tell me he was dying. A friendship that close never goes away. But I cry alot. I miss him so much as I'm sure you miss Veronica 🙏😭🕊️💕✌️
In 1975 this was Michelle's (my girl) and my song. She died 1977 from leukemia. A bruise that wouldn't heal turned out to be my nightmare. Til this day I miss her with all my heart. She was my once in a lifetime
ive been diagnosed with uncurable brain cancer ! my papa that i never got along with probably prayed for me more than anyone!!!!!! its hard to die!!!!!
It's December 23, 2021 and I've just been diagnosed with prostate cancer and now I play this song for My Honey for 44 years.. I was hoping to see our 50th but it's all in Gods hand now.
hang in there im so sorry!.i lost my whole family and im alone at 62 and its scary and i used to be tough guy was in army and a pro boxer in texas things fold ya abit life is hard
NOT when u know JAH, JEHOVAH. YET I KNOW your pain per my 50s 60s parents who didn't show me I was existence. Thank u much for your expressions. It hits home..
To me this is not a sad song. Yeah, it's about dying and some regret about decisions made in life, but at the same time it affirms a life that was lived to the fullest. Tt also makes it very clear that life goes on even without us, and that even in death our presence is always felt. Great lyrics and catchy melody.
Only because it was a simpler, better time. It seemed as if time moved slower back then. You didn't have cell phones to distract you; one had time for building friendships.
@@gazoo3596 and Gerard King I've just gone into remission from Lymphoma cancer of which I now have heart failure. Compared to you both and many of millions others, I am so lucky and just have an inconvenience... I am so really really sorry for you both, my deepest condolences
I lost my wife 13 yrs ago even though I'm remarried and love my wife I still miss Margaret I think of her every day and miss her every day and think of her all the time, but now instead of being sad I smile and remember just how much I loved her and still do. I'm sorry for your loss .
The times were tumultuous. Much hate, love and death. The music brings all of us for our own reasons. Let it bring what you need. Don't judge anyone else for their needs and memories. ♥️
Born in 1966. 5 years ago I was in the Duke hospital saying my final goodbyes to my youngest son who had been hit by a driver who left the scene three days before. We have since moved away from the Durham, NC area because of the the pain was just no longer safe for us. We truly do love and miss you our Son and your brother is lost without you. Our lives will never be the same! *Rest In Peace “KBM” my son! You will always be loved & remembered!!!* *{VENGEANCE IS MINE SAITH THE LORD!}* With all my Love, Dad
@@nomerc3608 I'm so sorry 4 ur loss. I know how difficult forgiveness can b. My mother killed by drunk driver. Peace and love 2 u. Know u will b together again someday!!!
I was born in the early 60s and today's music don't come close to what I grew up with and still listen to it today. 60s 70s 80s was and still is the best music ever played including country, rock and every other genre of music.
Hell yea, even country was cool back then, give me some Coe any day over the crap they push today. And don't get me started on Zappa, I'll write a block text no will read. So many greats.
I lost my wife of 32 years summer 2018. When I'm sad and miss her, I come to this song, usually on a Sunday like today. Love you and miss you Sue, until next Sunday.
Most Beautiful Song.. Sad but too Makes you Cherish all the Lovely Memories with Your Family and Friends... My Ex Huband passed away from Cancer and He Loved this Song this goes out to HIM!!! RIP ALEX
***** jonathan holland Thanks even though he was my Ex Husband He was Always there for Me and My son he raised from age 6 Which is now 20.....He played this song all the time and is Very Fitting to Losing him! Ironic RIP BIG GUY!!!! With a HEART OF GOLD!
My friend died at 23. We'd met at around 5yrs old. His grandpa called us David and Jonathan, not knowing who was the the naughty one. We shared girlfriends, and life. I'll always miss him and none can ever take his place. I miss my friend, brother, Gavin. It's impossible to reflect on the friendship we had for the short time we had had together. Of one can grasp the meaning of true friendship it could be possible,😢
This song makes me recall a girl that I went to school with. Pam and I went to Junior High and High School together. She lived 3 houses from me and we would walk home together. She thought of me as the brother she never had. I loved her dearly but she was a year older than me and much more mature. She was lost to cancer several years ago but I still think of her often.
I sure do miss the 70s, 80s and 90s. Sometimes I wish I could find a time machine and go back in time. Life was much easier and everyone enjoyed life! Is this your favorite song?
"I am a 54-year old (male) & it still gets me emotional as to where I cry". "Even if I try NOT to cry I get overcome with sad emotions through past sad life events I have experienced".
When I was younger, I always played this song because it has a lot of meaning to it. I still listen to it because the words and music is so nice. I loved the 70s.
I'm a terminally ill single mother. I wrote this song down for my baby to listen to when he turns 16. Good God, boy, you make me feel alive even when it hurts.
So sorry!! I just remembered this song by listening to one hit wonders, so sad but I love it, and I don't know you but I will pray for you and your Son!! 🙏🙏🙏
This song is felt deep in the heart. It's so hard to know what to say to you but I know that you will always be there to protect him and your son will feel you in his heart and mind, helping him make decisions throughout his life. Take care.
my memory of this song is being in the back of a ford capri gt, i think it was 1971 maybe 72, this was playing just as the driver lost it in a bend...next thing i knew i was climbing out of the front windscreen while this was still playing on the radio:):)...brings back memories
As a strong believer that there is life after death, this is a song [even if filled great sadness] that we will carry on in our hearts, in our souls for eternity as it will transcend time and space. To all the people who have lost their loved ones in their lifetime, have faith because it is the only force that gives us hope, that drives us forward along our life's journey. I firmly believe that we will reunite one day in God's Kingdom for everlasting life. Do not despair, we are here on Earth for only a brief passage in time like a spec of dust. To all the people that have been diagnosed and are stricken with a terminal disease, have faith that there are greater things waiting for you in God's Kingdom. My heart and compassion pours out along with my prayers for all of you. May God bless you all. I have lost many family members and friends along my life's journey, but I have faith and refuse to believe that we turn into dust and nothing more.
I lost my soulmate and my daughter within the same few months this was one of their favorite songs and I lost them over 25 years ago and I still miss them with all my heart , I love you two and soon we will be reunited again as a family once again
I am truely sorry to hear this. I hope you can find peace and move on. This song is just crazy heart breaking. It was the funeral song of my grandpa and always brings me to tears
Susan Jacks passed away on 4/25/22. Her husband Terry wrote and performed this song. It's beautiful and timeless. RIP. Hope you all find peace in your lives.
actually, the poet Rod McKuen wrote and performed a much grittier and provocative version. It included his friend having an affair with his wife. Check it out.
We played this at my mother's funeral. Just over 13 weeks ago my brothers and I was told our mother had days rather than weeks to live, she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. I want people to know what a brave, strong amazing warrior she was, she fought a very tough battle just to stay with us as long as she could. She was amazingly brave. we will all miss her dearly, there is now a huge void in our lives.
Jesus called your mum to help him papier a place for you and your brother to be back with your mum once again and this time it will be for ever (Just believe in God) i promise he won't let you down.
Grew up in the 70s. Remember when this song came out. Was 12. Building treeforts and making gocarts. All my neighborhood friends would help. Where are you all now. Miss this miss you...
Very sorry for your very sad loss Michele. You will always have your brilliant memories of your Dad. I’m delighted that your Dad liked this song and Terry Jacks
This was the first song I ever bought as a teenager and even now has the tears running down my face. My friend Clare's funeral was two weeks ago and seasons in the sun says it all. Farewell my trusted friend x
I just lost my Son on 9/13/2021, and last night had dinner with his best friend growing up and this song tells his story, I will always love him and miss him.
yes there were a lot of black sheep in families in the 70s. Most of us had a great time. if the family considers you the black sheep, just go find your own family. worked fo rme.
My best friend's son passed away 9 weeks ago of an OD. I guess everybody thought I knew and I just found out about 8 hours ago. He was just 25. I had just caught him on FB about a week before he passed and asked how his dad and mom and he was doing. He was thrilled to hear from me, it was a 20 minute conversation easy. It shocked me to the core, and it hurts, such a joy to be around. RIP Jackson, I think this song fits you, me, your dad and mom.
My mom told me she loved this song & months later she passed. We played this at her funeral. I was so young I didn’t remember who sang it. Then it played in the midnight club & instantly I knew it was THE SONG. Now I’m crying @ 2:53AM listening to this song for the first time since her funeral. I love you mom
I wanted this played at my funeral, but my first boyfriend, first love and then my husband, passed away recently, we married when I was 15 and he 19, we always loved this song, he and I were the 70s, My heart is breaking, 😢 can't listen to it now, maybe one day I will be able too, but just not now
I'm back again with something to share with all the believers and non-believers regardless of their faith. I lost my dear cousin Massimo in May of last year, at the age of 70. He died of an aggressive brain tumor. In a month he was gone. My aunt Lina and cousin Emanuela [mom and sister to Massimo] cared for him right to the end. Family gathered around him in his final moments. His youngest daughter Sara was known to have psychic abilities. Just moments before he took his last breath, Sara pointed out to a corner of the room saying "look grandpa and grandma are here". The relatives were saying where? Where? They couldn't see them only Sara and she described them perfectly. They were shocked. Upon their appearance that's when Massimo passed away. They came for him and that reinforced my faith in God that there is a place for us regardless of our skin color, ethnic and religious background. What I'm trying to say as a Roman Catholic, that we are all God's children. My grandparents to Sara are great grandparents.
Who's still reminiscing with this in 2024..?
ALWAYS!!!!!!
🖐
Me
Remember it …it is me now
Haven't listened since 2021 but I found it waiting for me in my favorite videos list
How lucky were some of us to live in a time of really great music
If I could go back in time it would be the 70s when life was simple and music was meaningful and it was a privilege to be a teenager in that era
I grew up in the 70s, and things were not as crazy or sinister as they are now. 😢
best of times
The hardest part about getting old is looking back.
You said that right! It's a killer.
Very true
Absolutely 😞
but at least we're still kickin' and able to remember when music was basically a movement, so much new stuff happening in the music scene and i'm glad i was there
Looking back and seeing how much better things were. People had hearts and souls then.
We grew up listening to some of the best music ever made.
50 Year Record Award 📀
You were very lucky .
Yes didn't we! ❤️
too bad this song wasn't part of it

This what heartbreaking to read. I hope you find peace within your situation. Thank you for your service.
That's real sad. All the youth that is damaged due to needless wars ..sigh. I am sorry for your loss.
that's heart breaking. I hope you find peace
We aren't the same we was a moment ago, the boy who went out there was bound to change, you can't go back to where you was, you can only move forward and aren't the same man who returned either.
I am so sorry for you
Dear Jesus, what has happened to the World Soul that we don't have music like this anymore?

my memory of this song is being in the back of a ford capri gt, i think it was 1971 maybe 72, this was playing just as the driver lost it in a bend...next thing i knew i was climbing out of the front windscreen while this was still playing on the radio:):)...brings back memories
This song reminded me of the person I loved to cancer
I used to listen to this song all the time when I was growing up in Scotland in the 1970s.
Almost forgotten song!
Tonight I found it by mumbling because I listened it in an old film ending !
UA-cam is miracle !
@@voskreglavincevska3651 Hello there how are you doing?
As a strong believer that there is life after death, this is a song [even if filled great sadness] that we will carry on in our hearts, in our souls for eternity as it will transcend time and space. To all the people who have lost their loved ones in their lifetime, have faith because it is the only force that gives us hope, that drives us forward along our life's journey. I firmly believe that we will reunite one day in God's Kingdom for everlasting life. Do not despair, we are here on Earth for only a brief passage in time like a spec of dust. To all the people that have been diagnosed and are stricken with a terminal disease, have faith that there are greater things waiting for you in God's Kingdom. My heart and compassion pours out along with my prayers for all of you. May God bless you all. I have lost many family members and friends along my life's journey, but I have faith and refuse to believe that we turn into dust and nothing more.
Wow so deep but true nonetheless
Oh my God. Get a grip

Those were the greatest songs ever. I am still listening. For all time. Timeless. Thank God.

Susan Jacks passed away on 4/25/22. Her husband Terry wrote and performed this song. It's beautiful and timeless. RIP. Hope you all find peace in your lives.
Terry Jacks did not write this song. Performed it beautifully, yes, but did not write it.
actually, the poet Rod McKuen wrote and performed a much grittier and provocative version. It included his friend having an affair with his wife. Check it out.

I listened to it. A poet yes, a singer? GOD NO. This song was given to Terry Jacks by the universe.
and her voice on the back up 1.22
I'm 57 and today I lost a friend who I'd known since we were 9 or 10, RIP Trev you were a trusted friend
Another underrated singer.
Hello Joanne, how's everything going with you?
This song makes me sad, yet it makes me realize that memories are so very precious.
I just wish that life had a rewind button.
That's beautiful
+George Vreeland Hill Now I'm crying......
amen George
Agree with you Sir, I wish life had an undo button!
@@jonkavanagh9518 Don't we all.
We played this at my mother's funeral. Just over 13 weeks ago my brothers and I was told our mother had days rather than weeks to live, she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
I want people to know what a brave, strong amazing warrior she was, she fought a very tough battle just to stay with us as long as she could. She was amazingly brave.
we will all miss her dearly, there is now a huge void in our lives.
Jesus called your mum to help him papier a place for you and your brother to be back with your mum once again and this time it will be for ever (Just believe in God) i promise he won't let you down.
Hugs and condolences, I lost my dad already 11 years ago next month and it never gets better. You go on but it keeps hurting.
😢🙏
My condolences to you and your family. We never forget the pain but we learn to live with it.
Oh I am soo sorry.. and beautiful song
Grew up in the 70s. Remember when this song came out. Was 12. Building treeforts and making gocarts. All my neighborhood friends would help. Where are you all now. Miss this miss you...
I grew up listening to this song. Very much a tear jerker. Love it though.
Hello Rebecca how's everything going with you?
Rest in peace Glenn..my best friend..Fly free till we meet again🙌
Hello Cherie how's everything going with you?
This song is still one of the greatest
I was sure that I would die young. Now so many of my friends, many much younger than me are dead and I am still here. I will keep their memory alive,
This song is too good to leave...
My Dad just learned to appreciate this song a couple months ago at age 83. He passed away yesterday morning. My name is Michele 😢
Very sorry for your very sad loss Michele. You will always have your brilliant memories of your Dad. I’m delighted that your Dad liked this song and Terry Jacks
Really! Yesterday 😮
77yrs old and still cry when I listen. Lost my husband a Vietnam Nam Vet in 2019.
Sorry for your lost, that Is nature for you, you can cheat nature
Miss you my Latvian American mommy 1937-2004 🌹
First time I heard this song 1973
And still listening with love
Who remembers being teen 😂
Just heard this on the radio and I love this song.
I am 56 yrs. This Song means soooo Much to me. Donny, I will always Love and Miss YOU.
Hello Michelle how's everything going with you?
In 1974 I was 9 years old and in grade 4 when this song came out. Loved this song then and still do...
Just remembered my mom bought me the 45 of this song. I played it over and over...
When music was just music and made sense and had meaning.
This was the first song I ever bought as a teenager and even now has the tears running down my face. My friend Clare's funeral was two weeks ago and seasons in the sun says it all. Farewell my trusted friend x
I just lost my Son on 9/13/2021, and last night had dinner with his best friend growing up and this song tells his story, I will always love him and miss him.
My brother was the black sheep of the kids. We stick together today and tomorrow for always. The only brother I can trust. I love my brother.
Hello Linda, how's everything going with you?
yes there were a lot of black sheep in families in the 70s. Most of us had a great time. if the family considers you the black sheep, just go find your own family. worked fo rme.
My best friend's son passed away 9 weeks ago of an OD. I guess everybody thought I knew and I just found out about 8 hours ago. He was just 25. I had just caught him on FB about a week before he passed and asked how his dad and mom and he was doing. He was thrilled to hear from me, it was a 20 minute conversation easy. It shocked me to the core, and it hurts, such a joy to be around. RIP Jackson, I think this song fits you, me, your dad and mom.
I am so sorry ((((hugs)))))
@@Lisa-jg6gt Ty, am better now, just was caught blindsided with the news.
❤✌🏻
♥️
My mom told me she loved this song & months later she passed. We played this at her funeral. I was so young I didn’t remember who sang it. Then it played in the midnight club & instantly I knew it was THE SONG. Now I’m crying @ 2:53AM listening to this song for the first time since her funeral. I love you mom
I wanted this played at my funeral, but my first boyfriend, first love and then my husband, passed away recently, we married when I was 15 and he 19, we always loved this song, he and I were the 70s,
My heart is breaking, 😢 can't listen to it now, maybe one day I will be able too, but just not now
@@tammyrenee64 🫂🫂🫂🫂
Got you in my thoughts and prayers dear😌💙
Sorry for your loss.😞🥲.
I'm back again with something to share with all the believers and non-believers regardless of their faith. I lost my dear cousin Massimo in May of last year, at the age of 70. He died of an aggressive brain tumor. In a month he was gone. My aunt Lina and cousin Emanuela [mom and sister to Massimo] cared for him right to the end. Family gathered around him in his final moments. His youngest daughter Sara was known to have psychic abilities. Just moments before he took his last breath, Sara pointed out to a corner of the room saying "look grandpa and grandma are here". The relatives were saying where? Where? They couldn't see them only Sara and she described them perfectly. They were shocked. Upon their appearance that's when Massimo passed away. They came for him and that reinforced my faith in God that there is a place for us regardless of our skin color, ethnic and religious background. What I'm trying to say as a Roman Catholic, that we are all God's children. My grandparents to Sara are great grandparents.
My friend who I had known from 7yrs old he died in 1998tis song always bring Gary back to me I still vist his grave 3time a year
