    If you're still alive you can try to turn things around for the better every day. It doesn't mean it will become better but at least you gave it 100% and that's more than enough.

    I LOVE this song,I told my kids "I want this song at my funeral." To have this much to say at the young age he was,unreal

    How I wish I could have been there when Jim was alive... born too late unfortunately. Still, I got to grow up listening to this man's beautiful songs while my dad played along with his guitar. This song, and many of his others, are some of my favorite memories. Thank you, Jim.

    Jim Croce was a big part of my college years...I love his music, his voice, his lyrics. I still remember where I was when I heard on the radio early one morning that he had died. I was in shock. We lost a great singer/composer/person. RIP Jim. I still play your music all these decades later!!!

    Whenever i cant sleep at night because i'm pondering the mistakes i've made and the regrets that make me shiver with anger, embarrassment and frustration this song calms me down and i know those mistakes are all leading me somewhere

    This hits home every time. I'm living a life of failure mostly due to mental illness but also partially my own doing. There is nothing sadder than having life pass you by bringing you pain and hardship yet not balancing it with good things. I'm not bitter anymore though. I accept my fate.

    Jim is one of the most honest musicians I've ever heard. It's quite amazing, he lays it all out. I've made so many friends and girlfriends listen to him its absurd.

  • @idanwillenchik3050

    It's as if Jim Croce wrote this about me.I was born in March 1974,six months after he died and yet this sobering song became the story of my life.I would have done things differently though if I was given a chance but you don't really get that opportunity to go back.I'm now older than Jim was when he died.I've walked a long road full of pain and got nowhere.I get tired just thinking of the long road still ahead.I feel sad and frustrated for facing hardships not faced by others and for so little rewards while others bask in the joys of life.Hearing this song every so often lets me know others suffer too and as long as you're still around things can turn around for the best or at least become more bearable.

    I started listening to Jim back in 1972 when I was in the USAF. Now, at 66 Years old I find this song fits me to a T....and the music Jim Pnays and Sings never gets old!

    Over 40 years later and Jim Croce's music still is relevant and has resonance. Between him and Stevie Ray Vaughn it's hard to imagine how American music might be different had they both not died untimely deaths.

    I'm german, have been a toddler when Jim passed away and if it were'nt for for a scottish friend of of mine, i would never have come to know him, but I can't describe how much I adore him! He's second best, after my alltime favourite Van Morrison, and that's from someone who is usally very, very reserved to everything originally that comes from the U.S.!

    I love Jim's music and have since before his tragic death. I think the fact he wrote the Hard Way Every Time just a couple of months before he died. It makes the song even more poignant

    When asked by a media reporter; "Jim what is your favorite composition so far"? Jim replied; "Operator was 1st and now it's tied with The Hard Way Everytime". (This is not an exact qoote. I've edited for space) I find irony at 2:06 for this was the last verce of the last programed song on the last ABC album of Jim Croce. ..."I wouldn't have done it any other way"..

I had the pleasure 2 return to my high school for the "Time In A Bottle" A Tribute To Croce's 40th Anniversary Croce & Muehleisen family and friends performed for close to 800 fans traveling as far away as Canada and Alabama.Though time kept the star band "MAGGIE'S GUITAR" from playing this song I was able to play it for family & fans at the pre-party.Love & thank you for your upload.

    Dear upperdarbybill I wish I could take credit for uploading this video but it was by sofsofsof. Im really glad that you had an opportunity to go to the 40th Anniversary Tribute. Its really awesome that you were able to perform this piece there. When Jim Died, I was barely 1 years old. I think AJ (his son and me are the same age). Im so glad I grew up in the 70-80's

    I have to disagree with you for a few reasons. 1st; This reverse photo is shot in daylight. 2nd; The troupe were in a hurry to leave, so much that I don't see them posing for the camera. & 3rd; The Fall of 73 in southern Louisiana does not seem to warant 'Parka' clothing. And I believe this 'Beach Craft' had been grounded for repairs or from a different tour.

    Some silly soul a few months back wanted to say Taylor Swift was a better songwriter than Jim. Taylor is good, no question. As good as Jim? No, not yet. And by the time she is the age he died at, not yet still. I don't doubt her talent, but it isn't in the same ballpark.
