When I hear this song I'm immediately back in a sweltering Chicago summer in my folks 72 Chevy Caprice, w./ no AC, listening to this song being played over and over again on AM radio. They must have played this song literally every 1/2 hour on WLS, the year of which I am unsure. Suffice it to say, I got a good dose that summer of how good I had it, and what a spoiled little punk I was.
this stray cat i've been taken care of for 2 years now hasn't come back for a week in a half. he's never been gone that long, i can only assume the worse. i miss him so much.
I Would have loved Elvis to cover this (and he would have if he'd been alive)...hang on??? wasn't he alive in this period. he died august 77 and Ray wrote this in 1971 (or thereabouts). did mr Presley record this???
There's great truth in this heartbreaking song, but a truth that's nonetheless partial. We need never be entirely alone, however intense the feeling becomes. Loneliness is natural, a very real and mostly unavoidable part of life; but we can transcend it. It can happen when we identify ourselves too hard & too long with family/ partners. But we're linked to everyone, to everything, to ourselves. That's the ultimate family, where all belong. In that sense loneliness is a powerful kind of illusion.
@marriedtoapoet Excellent post. Sometimes I get stressed out by the amount of inane and oftentimes insane comments on YouTube videos, but it's nice to see that intelligent people are out there too watching these.
@marriedtoapoet WOW! It was the summer of 1972 my memories are nearly a carbon copy of yours,I graduated High School in Buffalo N.Y.in 72 , and remember this song on the AM radio of my parents "1969" Chevy Caprice. P.S. No such thing as a spoiled Punk...but rather a right of passage. We were there! and no one can take away the cherished memories. ...Keep the mucic alive XO Caprice
