He told me you were his best friend while you lived together in London. I had the honour to meet you in Brighton last year and was so happy that you remembered him. I miss him so much but listening to your beautiful songs and getting to see his smiling face for a brief second makes me very happy. Thank you James 💕

    I was an angry 16 year-old dude in 1981 after my Dad (who was in the service) was transferred from Hawaii to Washington, D.C. I left a job I loved, a school I knew and a bunch of good friends that I would never see again. I left paradise for the cold Maryland suburbs and was plunged into a foreign environment full of strangers. I was pissed. This song spoke to me and told me that someone understood how I felt. It really meant a lot to me and helped to teach me the power of music -- and art, in general.

    I’m 26 years old and I’m truly gutted that I missed out on all these concerts. Though UA-cam does fill the gap in a way, nothings ever as good as the real thing.
    What a voice. James Taylor has always calmed me, and kept me from having a bad day 👌🏻

    My girl then and wife next played that song that rang a bell. I was in boot camp in 1970 in columbia South Carolina when she sent me this song via US mail in a 8 track tape was the latest tech then.
    I will never forget the meaning of being drafted and the Vietnam war as a hot bed for us draftees..
    50 years later I think of her and how thankful I was that she was there when I needed her the most.

Sittin' on the floor of the kitchen with 10-15 other people, passing the wine bottle, passing the roach clip, listening to your albums. Thanks for being part of a wonderful memory and thanks too for taking me back there again.
