  • I brought a girl to my house, we were listening to this song on my gramophone. I remember at some point in this song I suddenly realize how amazing she is, she's my gf now and I love her...

  • I am so sorry.

    Why couldn't you let me in?

    Maybe it would have helped.

  • I just cant stop my mind.Why did you.......

  • Canzone stupenda,una vera poesia!.Grandissimi Eagles.

  • One of the best songs ever!

  • This is Wasted Time Reprise. It came after Wasted Time and before Victim of Love in the original album sequence. Just curious how it ended up in this sequence here?

  • i was in love with one and iwas nothing to him

  • If Washington,s job is to frustrate the people,then by God job well done,and welcome to the lobby.

  • I'm sorry.

  • To be bitter is to waste precious moments of a life that’s too short already.

  • @basicaa Agree 100%

  • Awesome tune!

  • heartbreak comes in many forms. Watching someone you love put themselves through the same experiences as this song or watching them choose one dangerous person after another, but the end of the song bring just a tiny bit of hope with it. I will always hope those who had my heart and never knew will someday find it wasn't really wasted time even I never know,

  • I'm a cold person inside. I give lip service to everyone so I don't have to open up. I don't get attached to people easy, if at all. But somehow, one day, a guy stole my heart. My heart will be with him forever. Even after we grow old and pass away. I don't want another guy. I've never had something that perfect. He left on December 6th. I've been colder since. We still talk and I still love him and he still feels for me.. But, he says he wouldn't wish himself on anyone.. I miss him holding me..

  • im a bloke im not gay ! but I got a crush on Don Henley ? how does that work?

  • @luidpromo - same as I've got a crush on Tori Amos . . .

  • Wow. What a beautiful song and now in my older years the meaning is so much clearer...How life experience alters our perception and that which in our youth moved us one way now has a completely different meaning. Great "Oldie" but "Goodie"......

    Thanks for sharing this .............

  • One of the greatest groups alive; when I think I have wasted my time and my life, I listen to this song and it puts it all in perspective to me. There will never ever be another Eagles.

  • Full Orchestra adds a lot to some pieces

  • Love this is the eternal question. We can't escape,,and any person with a HEARTBEAT would FEEL something listening to dis song.....And,,,if no heartbeat,,,,,did u love them, but they did not have a heartbeat at all,,,,or MAYBE,,,just not a very STRONG Heartbeat....Cuz givin' urself to LOVE is something we 'did',,,,...

    WHY? does this seem to help,,,this song isn't too cheery,,,,I mean why would it help....Is there a "TYPE of people that have hearts,,,,,are they all on this comments????

  • @FREEDOM3517 Sad songs always help...

  • @FREEDOM3517 Are you high; or what? Must be some good stuff!

  • wonderful

  • I think J.Giles was right..Love Stinks...yea yea Love this song..I wish I had some whiskey..I'd take a shot or two... love has come and gone, ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh!

  • Coming to terms with the lose of a loved one , a lover, a best friend, husband or wife , can be the most devistating thing in the world not only for you but for the children if there are any involved at the time.. We know we have been here its not the end of the world but you feel at the time that it is .... Our daughter is having a real rough time , her dad raising another as his daughter.. She will be fine all in time, wasted time in a relationship 12 15 yrs is hard to give up and move on.

  • @mamad1997 There is no failing at who you are. You just go on being yourself, do the "next right thing".

  • yea meant abit 2 me to!sry tj chrz

  • this is the story of my whole life...not just relationships, the whole 9 yards!!!! i often wonder what God ever put me here for other than to suffer at every turn of every second..not a pitty party, before anyone jumps on it....just the truth!!!

  • @linky691 im with ya all the way, i totally understand where you are coming from, my life has just been one pitfall after the other....

  • @Hex2rym That which does not kill us, only makes us stronger!

  • Story of my life, this song. It is hard to hear it sometimes. You know when you put so much into a relationship, and he just doesn't care about you, and you finally realize it's all been "Wasted Time." It's not easy to take.

  • @crystal33ify happened to me too 12 years down the tube didnt see it coming she just left one sunday and didnt come back a year later and its still hard

  • song asks big questions...paints big pictures,,,so perceptive. fits well with paul simon & dan fogelberg stuff. that says a hell of a lot...

  • the saddest love song of all time

  • favorite song by my favorite band!!

  • There was so much really great music from the mid/late 60's thru the 80's (sans disco) I wish there were more great songs coming out these days. Not so much.

  • omg this is so awesome ,,,,,,,,it make me cry

  • Whenever I listen to an Eagles tune such as this one all I think of is Brilliance! Don Henley and Glen Fry two of the best song writers ever. Way before their time. It's like they've written some of these songs just for you. :)

  • This song makes me think of my daughter....Kaitlyn Elizabeth Driver who departed this cruel earth September 2, 2010. I miss you baby girl.

  • @sbd091390 Me too, I fucked her

  • @Smackdaddy9 You're an asshole, you know that? The person who wrote this DIED on Wednesday, and you're talking about fucking her dead daughter. There is a special corner in Hell for people like you.

  • @sbd091390 Who died on Wednesday?

  • @sbd091390 Who died on Wednesday?

  • @crystal33ify My mom passed away on Wednesday. Maybe what I said to "smackdaddy" was mean, but I can't believe how horrible some people are. Sorry if I offended anyone. But my mom just died and I am a little crazy right now.

  • @sbd091390 Smackdaddy..is a cold and heartless 12 yr old don't feel bad....We have all had to deal with that uneducated asshole~~~You have every reason to be upset......This is just the internet so do not feel bad ....You have suffered a very real and personal loss....

  • @sbd091390 Momma, you're with her now. Take care of eachother. I will never forget you. I love you more than there are stars in the sky.

  • @sbd091390 I'm so sorry for your loss

  • @sbd091390 she is listening to the same tunes as you and shes smiling down on you right this second ....

  • @sbd091390 So sorry for your loss, she's in a much better place now

  • @sbd091390 - How terrible for you and your family. I hope you will heal as soon as possible.

  • @sbd091390 so so sorry...

  • @sbd091390 I am so terribly sorry.

  • @sbd091390 I am so sorry.. I dont know your pain but i can imagine

  • @sbd091390 Nobody gives a shit.

  • @Smackdaddy9 ok well you need to shut up its her life maybe she needs to tell people ok? so dont be a disrespect to people!!!!!!

  • @Smackdaddy9 Maybe nobdy does does give a shit. But I bet there are way more people that care about her than will ever or have ever cared about you. Maybe that's why you're so bitter. I just pity you more than anything.

  • @sbd091390 Aww How Did She Die?

  • Fuck David Crosby who said the Eagles are unoriginal, and can't go anywhere...

  • this is one of my all time favorites album & song

  • The Eagles are timeless. One of, if not the greatest bands ever. Not alot of newer bands of this calibre, except maybe for 3 Doors Down.

  • The eagles will truely be my favorite band of all time! even til the day i die ill listen to the eagles

  • this is what good music is al about, also the lyrics and the singing are very important !!

    I love the Eagles !!

  • wish i could dedicate this tune to a deep, but long lost love named Kim

  • Sure luv those wasted times!!  Me wants to time travel!!

  • hmmmmm

  • The Wasted Time string interlude always tugs at my strings when I hear it. On the original 8 track cartridge, they have this twice. Once at the end of Program 2 after Wasted Time and again at start of Program 3.

  • @tjrrockandrollmaster I remember that. It was sweet wasn't it?

  • @tubatag Oh yes. When I got the 8 track in 1981 (as a 5 year old) I was moved by the string version of "Wasted Time". Now this classic album is 35 years old, it doesn't sound dated at all.

  • @tjrrockandrollmaster when my dad died 10 years ago, I made the mistake of throwing away all of his 8tracks, including this one. Stupid.

  • @tjrrockandrollmaster no kidding! I remember that! Unbelievable that you remembered that...dig it!

  • @tjrrockandrollmaster I had a QUAD eight track and had the Hotel California tape in QUAD. This was the masterpiece.

  • I luv this Song!!! The Very Best Song Ever!!!

  • The best Eagles song.

  • Gently: Thanks for the inversion. Thanks for the memories.

  • story of my life.

  • this is such a sad song it breaks my haert everytime again

  • but ourselvs as well

  • wasted time...

  • @splendidlady23 his loss, he has only himself to blame

  • alright ill say this if you dont get stronger bye this song youre really not trying its good too wallow in your on sadness but you got to know that by the last refrain the subject has moved on . ie never thought id be alone this far down the line. great song but not you re life please folks know there is other things in life cmon i love love too but there is a another chance at it while we all alive dont let that chance go by

  • @splendidlady23 I'm sorry to hear that just keep pushing on god has something better for you trust me

  • @splendidlady23 sorry for the things that have happend. but i dont think any human can sincerly say ill never .because those are two huge words put together. . i loved to tell you to love and trust again but thats just not that easy for anyone . but i will say as long as you live and love there are chances and gambles that comes with love and we are humans after all filled with faults good luck and god bless

  • simply PERFECT. They must've felt the same pain I did. Or had the best understanding of it. Bravo.

  • i've loved it for so long

    i was 6 when i first heard it now i'm 35

  • love it havnt heard this in years

  • anybody know what a decent condition copy of this album is worth in vinyl if its original?

    

  • I went to see the Eagles in Dublin in 2006 with my 16 year old brother. We were by far the youngest people were there but we knew all the words to every song, just like it should be with a band like this.

  • This still one of the most beautiful songs ever written. In any genre of music. The vocals are so plaintive, its almost like you can hear the heart breaking.

  • Greetings from the VG's from Dikkelvennnnneuh <3 jwz 48

  • An Essential Guide To Music In The 1970s features assessment of classic albums from Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, Neil Young, Elton John, Bob Marley & The Wailers, Pink Floyd, the Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, Kate Bush, and Blondie. There is also special coverage of 120 special songs from this memorable decade. In addition, there are highlights of each year’s sporting events and major news stories and deaths.

  • Don't care much for a strangers touch, but you can't hold a man, powerful words. sigh

  • I'm responding to both the music and DesiLovesYou -yes you were raised right -someone(s) did a fantastic job of raising you if you love this music and especially this song....only 16? Man, I had the same depth at your age, I was lucky too !

  • Fantastic! One of my all time faves. What you feel at 16 you will still feel at 60...no stronger, no weaker. Age does not magnify nor diminish emotion. What you feel now is true and that's all it ever needs to be.

  • WE HAVE TO LEAVE IT ALONE ,,,,, DON HENLEY

  • @453sado we all appreciate Don Henley and the song that's the only thing that matters what ever it means to each of us

  • the autumn leaves have got me thinkin'....

  • Just a few days till Vegas Concert...Can;t wait, going to be a great night

  • nothing like the eagles great memories

  • And I could have done so many things, baby

    If I could only stop my mind...

  • This is one of the great songs of all time.

  • @vicweber8888 amen

  • Comment removed

  • Se encuentra uno con estas genialidades.

  • daddy misses you soo much baby

  • THIS IS MY THEME SIONG

  • @jesse0576 Exactly, only me and him know, also his mom lol. She likes me, wants me too hook up with him and I think that's kinda why he doesn't want to, you know? No one wants to date someone their mom wants them to date.

  • So sad...life is so fucking hard

  • Reminds me of all the failures in my life......I want my life to be over.....I don't want to feel this way anymore....

  • My ex wife left me and my son 10 yrs ago (for my best friend). Havent been nor will ever be in a relationship with a woman again! I now focus on my relationship with my son. I know someday she will regret the time she has wasted not being in his life.

  • @penjerr I am so sorry to hear that. I hope this song offers solace; I'm going thru my own life changes, and this song gives me hope that maybe, just maybe, there are still better days ahead. For all of us.

  • LOVE THIS SONG EVEN THOUGH IT'S ABOUT LOVE IT REMINDS ME OF WHERE I DON'T WANNA BE NOW THAT I'M IN RECOVERY

  • @MAMASHUERTA I feel what you are saying...i used to be in prison with a lifer and she would play this song and sing it....saddest thing...congratulations on your recovery. I am in recovery too, and I pray God blesses you. Hang in there.

  • Probably the best ballad ever. You really have to have been hurt to appreciate it.

    Don Henley lyrics are right up there with all the finest American wordsmiths.

  • "You didn't love the boy too much, no no, you just loved the boy too well... farewell."

  • This song tells it all, how love can really hurt. I suggest that those that are suffering from a broken heart from leaving a person to go out to see how things are, and find he was there already, but then too late. Cried the first time I heard it.

  • @sandinbrick i cry almost every time i hear it, depending on the mood im in

  • I'm in love with my best friend. He knows it... but he calls me his little sister. It hurts so badly... but I would rather have him as my best friend than nothing...

  • Divorce sucked until my Elly came

  • i love the reprise it really adds to the sad sense of the song and you can interpret the reprise as like sad then it gets happy. just like the amazing song very thoughtful song its awesome

    

  • people should use this recording and album jacket as a template for posting music on you tube. thanks. these type of videos are especially useful for musicians.

  • one of the most well written sad ballads of all time

  • i thaught i have had a hard life in the past, but after reading the comments on this video. maybe it wasnt so bad after all....  best wishes, love and bless all of you people...

  • Good for you, Narrobuff! Nothing to it, trust me. Feel free to reach out if you need anything.

  • Truly one of the greatest songs from Henley and Frey. Their lyrics are just dead on.

  • @Navarrobuff 38 and starting over here with two kids in tow. Just found the love of my life and he's my everything! Good luck to you, my friend!

  • Great ,try being 50 with breast cancer for 5 yrs now, in and out of remission, and all alone cause no man wants you because?

  • @MsDossLady50 sorry for your pain

  • @MsDossLady50 Been there with the breast cancer at age 44...take a step back and treat yourself right. That's where it all gets better. Don't worry about anyone but you!

  • @MsDossLady50 We all still have this song to cling to though, for which we should be thankful :)

  • you can do this what ever your age,its not doing it while you are still here,because when you are gone you are gone.....just do it

  • Saddest song ever.

  • so sorry bff

  • Have been there with my little head down in my hands.......and I didn't love the boy too much...I just loved the boy too well!!!! 13 years, and I will never be the same. A Gorgeous Daughter......Not Wasted Time!!!!

  • @KarenUsina You're right - I put in 16 one daughter, one son and I wouldn't trade them for anything! They're grown now and I have a good life - I'll never be the same and I cannot love anyone like that again - but I am really happy. Don't let him win by being defeated!!

  • 1 year divorced . 2 young kids still in grammar school, Does it get better after 50? Hell I grew up with the Eagles, guess another one of their songs plays into my life ,,,,,,,,,,,

  • I guess someday We'll all learn:) IDK

  • I'm 16 and I love the Eagles because they're classic and I was raised right.

  • @DesliLovesYou hell yeah. im 31 n was bought up on them, still love them now. u have great taste.

  • @abi19791 Yeah, both my parents love the Eagles. They even got to see them live! My dad introduced them to me a couple years ago when we went on this road trip, just the two of us. It was so nice, and I've loved the band ever since. (:

  • @DesliLovesYou Your age and music preference have no correlation, your own preference does not make you better than anyone else either because it's your preference and preference does not give you superiority over others.

    If peopled opened their eyes to today's music there is a lot of good shit out there. Sure it's not classic (yet). It's not the fucking Beatles, Rolling Stones or Eagles. It's new and to think that we've "peaked" in good music is completely foolish.

  • @SupaTROopa2 Can you do me a favor? Please quote me so I can know specifically what led you to believe that I feel superior to anyone else due to my music interests. I never said that, and if you felt that was implied, I apologize, for that was not my intent. Otherwise, making assumptions can also be quite foolish of someone, don't you think?

  • @DesliLovesYou "I was raised right."

    Maybe it wasn't so apparent in that but I guess I lashed out on the wrong 16 year old. I hear day in and day out on these videos, "IM 14 AND I KNOW PINK FLOYD BECAUSE IM SMART AND NO ITS THE BESTESTS MUSIC EVER".

    Really sick of that shit, ya know? Especially neither you nor me was even alive during this songs release. We got our own generation to live, you know what I mean?

    But yeah, saying you were raised right led me to believe. Youre still only 16 to lol

  • @SupaTROopa2 I find that annoying, too. When they say "BECAUSE IM SMART AND NO ITS THE BESTESTS MUSIC EVER", they're singling this kind of music out and comparing it to others. When I said "because they're classic and I was raised right," it was, although not an obvious implication, my way of saying I was raised to appreciate the classics AS WELL as what's coming out nowadays. I don't compare, I just appreciate good music when I hear it.

  • @SupaTROopa2 Oh, and "Youre still only 16 to lol" <-- Mind explaining to me what difference my age makes in this discussion? Hah.

  • @DesliLovesYou Listen to this song again in about twenty years and the song will mean so much more than it ever did at 16.

  • @chrismasbride That's what I've been told (: I hope that's a good thing, haha...

  • @DesliLovesYou same here. so sad.

  • @DesliLovesYou im 18 and i listen to the eagles in the morning with my mom. i think both of our parents rock!

  • @GraceFlach 15 so there ya have it

  • @GraceFlach Couldn't agree more! (:

  • Heck Yes!!!

  • This is a great song! Who wrote it?

  • @brittneyburgett Don Henly and Glenn Frey wrote it.

  • Poetry. Pure and simple. The soundtrack of my life in one band.

    How incredible is that.

    The Eagles. Talent personified.

    

  • @eddiemacdonalduk Ditto!

  • This is, indeed, a very beautiful song!  Sincerely, BobbyK

  • it is never wasted time

    just lessons

  • @THEOZZYFUL thanks for the reminder....*hugs you*

  • :\

  • WHEN ME AND MY WIFE LEFT ONE ANOTHER OF 16YRS WAS IS WASTED TIME??? BUT WHEN I LOOK AT MY TWO GIRLS IT WAS NOT WASTED BECAUSE I LOVE THEM SO SO MUCH AND MY EX TOOO!!!!!!

  • The Eagles were the music of my growing. It's as simple as that. Everything they do makes me sing inside. It's difficult to explain. I guess you just had to be there....

  • Treasured Time not Wasted......................

  • Haunting classic from The Eagles here. Does not get the recognition it deserves. "And the hours go bye like minutes,and shadows come to stay,so you take a little something, to make them go away" Like i said...Classic.

  • Here I go again on my own ... down the only road I've ever know.

  • Love this song and this version rules !
