Barclay James Harvest - Suicide? (High Quality)

[Samjeno]

Did he fall? Was he pushed? or did he jump....?

[bigartolas]

JUST BEAUTIFUL.......

[abcdf27]

One of the best song ever made

[vitornevesxj]

gostava de dedicar esta msica a 1 pessoa muito especial Zeza de seu nome, isteija ela onde estiver.bj

[iasonasiasonasful]

ωραια που ηταν

[atterse]

this evokes so many bitter sweet memories of my late sister, who loved listening to BJH throughout her short life and her heroin addiction, this song used to make her smile through her tears.I wanted to play this song at her funeral but it wasn't considered appropriate(she committed suicide by OD) but this reminds me only of wonderful memories of a beautiful girl of 28 and summer afternoons by a lake.R.I.P. Petal. gone but never forgotten.

[nuttypeeps]

best song ever, so many emotions

[merdammuffita]

stupenda...

[keefebaby]

yea my feelings in song

[Watchman33100]

What a tune last heard this circa 1983, memories flooding back. Well done for the upload.

[MrFitipalde]

Dá para acreditar que esta musica já tem 35 anos? INCRIVEL. Obrigado B.J.H.

[sispeo55]

je ne vois pas mieux, l emotion m enivre merci ....

[heliclops]

Forte abraço e fique co Deus.

Att........Juvenil

[Paulo43542]

Simplesmente Espectacular

[michzajac]

Does anyone recognize the music played in the "Looser Bar'? :D

[wiggles0213]

I have been listening to this song for many years,,always been one of my favorites,I'm 61 and I still love it,,great tune,,I was always dissappointed by the fact that this person was about to jump,and the only care of others was to move there car,,so much for mankinds understanding

[ibrilman1]

@wiggles0213 My thoughts exactly!

[brandwood175]

Like all the rest grew up with this. 1978 only 19 at the time, but wow. Why can't we have more groups like this now when I'm in my 50's

[TheBlackycat]

This is one of my two favorite BJH albums (Everyone is Everybody Else is the other). This is the first BJH album I ever heard (which is partly why it is such a favorite). Thanks for posting this! :D

[CitizenMalcolmCM13]

Wow! Chatting up a girl in 1978, went to see BJH

Didn't need drugs to walk out feeling

BLOWN AWAY!

Had to buy Live tapes CD

Does anyone know if they're still touring?

Thanx

[bugibbab0y]

@CitizenMalcolmCM13 It`s complcated, there are two bands named bjh feat les holroyd and the other john lees`s bjh but of the latter Wooly killed himself last december so to my knowledge they still tour as sperate bands.

[bluebumps]

This was a fav with our group when we were teens. We always "freaked out " at the line "Just in time" whooooosh. lol thanks for posting!! :)))

[behrooz1328]

I love this song , it send me to 1978,when I was young I am B.J.H. fan

[silvercitysurfer209]

RIP Woolly. A Time honoured ghost yourself now. See you on the other side mate

[punditpete]

I will be at Buxton on 19th. RIP Woolley,god bless.

[ludo281160]

OK I apologize because I just am knowing that since this weekend. RIP Woolly.

[bugibbab0y]

@ludo281160 don`t apologize my old friend , we are all shook up still by Woolly`s passing, David. ( The kid on the red Yamaha)

[SquirtsFan]

Like the version on "Live tapes" much better.....

[eftim]

suicide? yes, unfortunately...

[tomdan15]

RIP Wooly! Hope you now find peace.

[mankymaggott]

"please for gods sake , let me move my car!".

tragically funny.

[johnmichaelrichards]

I still have this wonderful albunm on vinyl; I used to listen to this track after I had tried to take my own life; I vowed thereafter never to take the same path again, no matter how bad life became; well some three decades later I'm still here. This is perhaps an apt tribute to play after the tragic loss of Woolly. He cannot be hurt by the pains of this life anymore.

[Marknorthway]

@ludo281160 Yes, but you will find that peoples comments reflect that Woolly took his own life.

[ludo281160]

What? This is really a song from John Lees from 1976, nothing to do with Woolly : How dare you? Please listen to 10 CC from 1975!!! Angry what you all think about it!!!!

[bugibbab0y]

@ludo281160 when you say nothing to do with Woolly what do you mean? This song is from the album Octoberon on which Woolly was the keyboard player so excuse me if I am somewhat confused by your comment. Also where does 10 cc fit in?

[Rayneenights]

RIP Woolly. Hope you have found peace now. This album is their best.

[GeorgeNikbet]

Rest In Piece Wooly..!!!

[praha007]

I have the album, but....how sad this song sounds to me now. My god Wooly, how desperate can someone be........hope you found your rest now. Your star will be over the Netherlands every night.

[bugibbab0y]

sadly ironic. R.I.P. Wooly

[TheBriser]

Love this song. Such a shame Keys player Wooly Woolsenholme has just died, R.I.P.

[squeaky1464]

The very end of this song where you just hear foot steps and the elevator and then of course, him jumping, actually quite creeps me out. Especially the man's voice when he says "just in time". I just recently got into music from this time period and have found such maturity in music that I never really hear in a lot of the things I listened before, from 2000, to today. So much awesome stuff came out of the seventies and eighties, wish I could have been there to see it all. :)

[InzaneProfane]

@squeaky1464 a great era. I am of that time and there was so much variety as everyone was experimenting but I follow a lot of music today and I am very inspired by Trance and Vocal Trance, for example. You can enjoy the music as it has been created for everyone to listen to, at any time.

[BohemianConspiracy]

@squeaky1464 ...and hey...this is just the point of the iceberg! there's many many more bands with great songs... there's a lot to find outside the hits... but nothing comes to the passive man... it's just a question of search and curiousity and unfortunately everybody don't have patience...

Today's music can be great too ...but honnestly 2/3 of what i buy is from 65 to 83.

Moody Blues (1967-73) is particulary a good band for those who like the 70s Barclay james harvest

[rubysdad2]

Just in time, pete george, 6 pints, a students dream, bless.

[JACQUE172]

Écoute , et ferme les yeux .

[JACQUE172]

Écoute , et rêve .

[JACQUE172]

Écoute , et rêve .

[TheHerringy]

nice to hear this song in high quaity as ive played it so much for so many years my record sounds abit warped, though a very sad song, its fantastic and very cleverly written. sadly a very underestimated band, one of the best around in the 1970's.

[RisingDampChamp]

My dad used to play this a lot when i was a kid. Brilliant song.

[sixgun4me]

a very beautiful song, sad, but beautiful ... thankyou for posting it 8 )

[floydphoenix]

had octoberon for many years and just got back into listening to bjh. what a great song, yet so sad and with ra , the best two songs on this album. I am 58 now and have never seen them live. such a big regret there

[FemailDK]

It simply just send me back in time to my troubled youth.

[magselloff]

A great track but I have to say I much prefer the "live tapes" version.

[jcruz780]

Just fantastic......

[dmitr2004]

Прекрасный альбом! Один из лучших, что у меня есть. И тексты и исполнение, и музыка превосходны!

[PRINCIPALBROKER]

One of the ten best albums of that decade. While managing a 3-level record store and clothing boutique all I had to do was put BJH on the stereo and people approached me all day asking "who is that and where can I buy it". A truly creative heart and this brings back so many great memories. Thanks again, BJH.

[julian02512]

Realmente una de las más maravillosas banda de siempre y uno de los temas que me hacen sentir más feliz.... gracias BJH por existir

[muzicsezitall]

I have a vinyl collection of some 8000+ and at times with my eyes closed, pick an album at random to listen to - BJH came up this time and I found myself for the next three days listening to all the music I have by them; an emotional choice that left me remembering another great band from the 70's and 80's that never made it as big as they should have - ROCK ON BJH.............

[MrWebhamster]

What is it about this song. It can induce tears in a man like nothing else - and I mean the tune (before I've even thought about the lyrics). The opening guitar tune is so emotional - goes atraight to the heart strings. The only thing that comes close is Genesis' Afterglow,

[danthedobermann]

@MrWebhamster I know where you are!! Perhaps it doesn`t do to analyse too much, but I reckon it does this to you because most people get to that stage in their lives, where it may seem like it`s the only option, but it`s not. And of course we all know someone who didn`t realise that in time.

[MostWords]

im in a suicidal play world, what next to inhale, gasoline smoke, through egg yoke, killa death scense, im a field,20 roosters still cooking,your crazy,crazier then me even the birds were chirping kill jay-z, for me, the beast tamer,tame a beast to be unleashed, play with the world, kill a girl, kill, a boy, when your older,who's last to die, who's young, who's you,who's on top of this game, who killed you?crazy i am i lost my marbles, and carrie was there to agree with them,crazy bitch get fat

[Rayneenights]

It's truly a beautiful song. I especially appreciate the harmony vocals which must be the closest thing you can come to hear the angels sing!

[kuriabraham]

BJH. Enough said. Can't believe I found them again on youtube. After 26 years. Thank you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

[joshua081264]

After somany years and this one still stands up alone. Absolutely brilliant,and yet very very moving.

[ludo281160]

It would go through my mind, that the life's subcription was not the mine back in 1976....so I survived it...but the steps at it end are still a nightmare.....

[panthirakos91]

most brilliant piece of art that I've ever listened to..

[2263jojo]

Ecoutez et vous entendrez !!!

[Rodalben2]

Einfach nur Super,

Zeitlos,

Immer nur Heute ist mein Tag

[wardek61]

[FaySmylie]

Thank you so much for uploading this. Just listened to it after 20 years and sang my little heart out through the tears. Gave me so much strength once when i really needed it. Wonderful to hear it again. Thank you E Saetre

[abdeldu312009]

[paulfborth]

Or was he pushed? That's the question that has never been answered.........

[KammasAnMont]

[titacarvalho4]

Barclay James Harvest em Lisboa, sala Magna dia 6 ou 9 de Outubro...Que curte! a não faltar! Super banda!

Lá nos encontraremos...

[apelkowski]

super song super band

[lynandpetemay]

wow this brings back memories!

[JBKatie04]

I am privileged to have nearly every album of this unique band!!! Incredible songs!!!

[robiowbirds]

Some tickets left at new theatre royal, portsmouth u.k, 31st october, 2009. check online for other gigs. One of them departed, 2 originals left in the 5 piece band. But, its a must to see them, I was lucky enough to see Camels penultimate gig a few years ago, and Rush, now, I'll get to see another of my fav bands...'so you want to be a rock star'...no, I'll leave it to these guys !!!

[mysteryblonde]

AJohn Handly Convert...Superb sound...

[flensi]

I´ve heard this Song today the first time in my life, and it sends shivers down my spine. Simply wonderfull. 5 Stars

[scouserfourteen]

flensi.. then check out Hymn, Titles, The World Goes On, Play to the World, Poor Man's Moody Blues, Berlin, In Memory of the Martyrs, For No One, In My Life, The Song They Love To Sing, Mockingbird, Love Is Like A Violin.... god, I could go on, and on... hell... just buy all their albums from the 70s and 80s and go from there : )

[Georgiahulse]

My Dad played this song in the car on the way back from somewhere I can't remember, and it changed me...I remember listening and looking out at the world when we were stuck in traffic; it's quite a moving song. I'd like to start listening to more of his stuff - I'm sure I've got it on LP somewhere.

[QuoTime]

@flensi: It had the very same effect on me too the first time I heard it.

[mfjcarlos]

are very few people feelin`this chords, but the few that feel this song have sonthing special to other. thankyou for this feeling.

[eduardo197013]

a 9 de outubro quero ouvir temas como este!... espero não sair desiludido... BJH SEMPRE!!!

[80smusicboy]

Será que ainda há bilhetes? Gostava de ir, mas ainda não comprei...

[sonical53]

i am privileged to have this album,fantastic

[pvlaytchev]

This song left a great mark on me, more than 25 years ago. It is simply incredible!

[googoosun]

Tant de souvenirs

Pensée pour mon oncle qui était fan

Michel, je ne t'oublie pas

[davidsdoughheads]

for god sakes let me move my car felt the air rush fell in love

[pinkbluebell1956]

DONT GO!

[yucchhiiowwee]

Hi Jan, Yes, I'm here. Sweetie, I have NO intentions of leaving this world untill I'm supposed to. This world is going to HAVE to PUT UP WITH ME!!! So, THERE!! If the world don't like it, TOO BAD!!! Anyway, still awaiting an email address from you to send you some up spirity songs. Hope your ok!! Peter

[pinkbluebell1956]

I hope you are well Peter, yes i still just always coming back ti this song!

I just feel it hauntingally, sad but sadly so true, jan

[Kwales66]

My God ! Is song now saving lives ???

Hello to Everyone who feels down but COME ON AND LISTEN

We are here for you xx

[pinkbluebell1956]

I think it is giving HOPE, so sad, but everyone feels sad at times!

And I do beleive that sometimes we , have to wallow on being sad!!!!

Tell me if I am wrong, and if i am tell me what brings you to this haunting song!

[yucchhiiowwee]

I don't know, it all depends on how you look at it. It would be even sadder if I were totally helpless, and I HATE that feeling that I CAN'T do anything!

[yucchhiiowwee]

I think from time to time, about how I would feel if I were a doctor in the E R room trying to save a patient from dying, and the patient dies anyway, inspite all my efforts. ONLY ONE consolation, I know I will have tried! But, still, it would be in my heart that the patient is still dead. THAT'S the part that would really bother me.

[kn1ghtstemplar]

I took an overdose of paracetamol some years ago, ended up in hospital. My liver was not damaged but I have stood at the gates of hell and it`s not a nice place believe me,my wife and family pulled me back before I entered that place. Life is short, live it.

[pinkbluebell1956]

my ex told me men didnt really love women, and after a while i beleived him, then i went and apparently broke someones heart and i truly didnt think he cared! This song makes me realise that men do and can feel, deeply! Sad thing is i really loved that guy and now its over!

[yucchhiiowwee]

Just so you can see how messed up this world is, I will say something truthful right now!! "I believe in GOD, and I LOVE ALL OF YOU!!!" Now, let's see if anyone makes any nasty comments to this.

[kn1ghtstemplar]

I too believe in God and our Lord Jesus Christ and I believe in his forgiveness. I share now in his love for all his children, if anybody wants to mock me feel free it matters not to me.

[yucchhiiowwee]

God bless you!! Though I know that someone will probably mock us all here. To those I say that don't ever underestimate the devil. Ther devil can make you think things to undermine you and your confidence in life. When they find themselves in a bad situation they may wonder HOW they wound up there. I have news for them!!! thank you for your comment as well.

[pinkbluebell1956]

If anyone mocks , then go on to Mocking bird, BJH, or whole lotta love, led zep!

[yucchhiiowwee]

OR, Jesus is just alright by the doobie brothers.

[yucchhiiowwee]

Ya know something, you are a sweetheart. I appreaciate your comments very much. It IS nice to know I'm NOT the only person in this world that feels this way. I believe that if someone who is reading our comments may be feeling down about themselves will hopefully realize that all hope IS NOT lost. And THANK YOU!!! Peter

[jeanfrederic]

Toujours le même effet sur moi, 30 après, également..... ce morceau m'a hanté...

[yucchhiiowwee]

YEAH! Whatever you said! Love ya anyway!!

[dummytree]

He said the song still had the same effect on him 30 years later. This track haunted him.

[AshLOVESgnr]

@dummytree I first heard this song via my father and now aged 42 it haunts me.

[yucchhiiowwee]

If you listen to the song carefully, when the singer describes everything, right when people see the man on the roof and about to jump, he sings that there's somebody saying "Don't jump, please for godsakes let me move my car!" Then in the actual sounds, you hear the people below and you hear that guy say that about moving his car. That is reality, there ARE people that all they care about is themselves. That's why the world is the way it is! Then they bitch about it later. Is that not true?

[billyauld]

Sadly I have to agree with this comment. Recently a young man jumped from an elevated railing above a busy main street in the Town of Derby. I was there with my Son. We walked on not knowing what the crowd were gathering for. I looked up and saw the young man,poised and staring down. There were young and old gathered and the calls for him to jump were sickening. It was like a spectator sport. Disgusting. We walked on but only got a 100 metres or so when we heard the crowd scream. Sickening.

[yucchhiiowwee]

Ya see, I tell people all the time...I am a NON conformist, just when you thought the whole world doesn't give a dam... I'm ONE of the FEW that do!! Also, You only get Ticked off IF you CARE, If you didn't CARE, Why get ticked off!!! I care about people and yet PEOPLE tick me OFF!!!

[gertive]

I was 19 in 1979 strange times and this song makes me very strong

[yucchhiiowwee]

There are all kinds of music to accomadate the emotions that we all feel. Some stuff is just plain trippy if thats what your into. Everybody has had thoughts of suicide. Fortunately, NOT everybody carries through with them. There has been lots of people that have felt this way after someone they REALLY love has left them. Loneliness CAN be a dangerous thing!!! You can help those lonely people by just being a CARING person, out of a world that cares NOT.

[elimar008]

you are a Great person, it will be a privilege being your friend

[yucchhiiowwee]

AAAahhh, BUT, there is GREATER than I. I AM NOTHING WITHOUT GOD!!! God is the one that gave me a heart so I can have communication with him. That's why it is important to "FOLLOW YOUR HEART!" TRUTH will resignate in your heart. Anything else, it's like an oil coating...lies can't stick to it. (Like teflon) the brain is suseptable to beliveing lies if they are clever enough. You can't fool the heart if there is NO truth! Some don't believe, BUT I DO! Take care my friend and God bless you!

[pinkbluebell1956]

I really see what you are saying!

I am a person who does care, which is probably what draws me to this song.

I am not suicidal but unfortunatly i have lost people who have been, and the saddest thing is you dont really know until it is too late.

I think tou are so right , this world really needs people who care so much more and this song helps (hopefully)other people to understand.

[yucchhiiowwee]

About a month ago, at a hotel that I work at that has 28 floors, Inside you can look up and see atleast 25 of those floors. A man came in at about 2am and jumped from the (they say) tenth floor. Hit a solid marble floor. The overnight manager that I know said he heard the splat sound of his body hitting. He called the police and before any guests woke up the body was gone and cleaned up like nothing had happened. I wasn't there, but all I can think of is "DID ANYONE CARE ABOUT HIM?

[pinkbluebell1956]

I read your comment hors ago, and it has been on my mind, a lot!

So much so, I try to think of an answer for you, but I do not!

It is a hurting scary world we live in , where people can be so uncaring!

I do beleive I care about him, but does that help, and it is hurt for you too , cos there was nothing you could do about it.

Maybe he is looking at us and thinking he will tell us if we meet him one day!

[yucchhiiowwee]

Hi sweetie, ya know, your comments are special. I can see by your choice of words that you are a caring person. They hit my heart and I feel the words you say. I didn't even have to be at the scene of the suicide, but God knows how I feel and as an angel rejoices when a soul is saved, so, I believe an angel also weeps for one that is lost. From time to time I get the feeling that I could just cry for those that never had a chance.

[pinkbluebell1956]

Hi, been a long time, but I keep coming back to this same question !

I feel as though I care about this person with all my heart, iwonder what torment he must have been going through !

I still do not have an answer.

[Aloneinthecrowd]

I keep coming back to this because to do what this brave soul did or thought about doing would be the answer to all my problems but I'm too scared to do it for real. Listeneing to this gives me a strange kind of comort.

[yucchhiiowwee]

Thank you so much...your really sweet!!! God bless!!! You know, I know you have guts, it takes guts to actually say "I love you" and "I CARE"!!!

[kevthewitch]

First heard this on RADIO CAROLINE.Excellent song. If you want to kill yourself. Do it. No note and no blame to anyone.

[Clemthi]

30 ans après c'est toujours aussi fort !

[rubysdad2]

First listend to this with pete george whilst at soton uni-over a few pints of tennants extra-leathal combo!!! bless

[Georgiahulse]

Remember hearing this on the radio a few years back...I've got to be honest, it really depressed me! My Dad was into Barclay James Harvest.

[birkenred]

Awesome.

[ludo281160]

When I am was 16 then in 1976, that was really something I had nightmares too, because it is such a beautiful song and a little bit horrifying... But 30 years later, the memories still remains, Thank you for sharing!

[potatoman63]

He "fell in line",(with the system).

[ludo281160]

Never finding the result...that's the thrill, after 32 years, I still haven't found the answer (I shall ask John Lees, one day!!!)

What a song (especially Octoberon)

[ifgmuenster]

großartig
