  • @deeway1963

    very seldom in life do we get lucky enough to know a true friend. someone who will be there with unwavering kindness,when your knees are buckling and you are about to sink into the blackest depths of despair,they will hold out a steady hand and lead you back to the light. Dee you are one such person, you are an angel and i thank God for sending you my way and showing me how precious a thing true friendship is. I love you my friend,

    Matt x

  • I was ALWAYS in LOVE with James Taylor... Still am...I LOVE you

  • Beautiful job uploading this great masterpiece that I have loved for close to 40 years. James Taylor has gotten even better with age and even without the long wavy locks.

  • The other guy looks a little like John Lennon or Jerry Garcia

  • Oh! :c

  • How strange to see Carol without a mic.

  • His is one of the purest voices in rock music history!

  • Aunque no lo parezca es James Taylor , que tema , que recuerdos !!!!Believe it or not is James Taylor, who fears that memories!!

  • *** For all those who are lonely today, tonight...those with no one around to love them....♥♥♥

  • สุดยอดเพลง

  • There there James Taylor, I will be there for you. You are always there for everyone else, but who is there for? I am there for you, it's ok, it's ok.

  • I love this song but do not understand why this is redirected to Facebook instead of where it was originated from.

  • You should really listen to "WHERE DO i BELONG" by STEVE KATZ in the video responses, this guy is amazing !

  • @jenniferstone92 I agree with you, Steve Katz is amaizing!!!! Go to stevekatzmusic , you'll find terrific songs

  • This somehow sounds amazingly better that it ever did. And it did.

    Mine ears have opened!

  • you know i really appreciate this song but more that ,i've really found a friend so closed to me and i consider him not a friend but my brother.

  • Love this song!! I cry every time I listen to it.

  • Amazing song, was my mum's funeral song. Went to see him in Manchester recently and he did not sing it- was disappointed as wanted to hear it live. He is a true talent!

  • Beautiful song by STEVE KATZ (stevekatzmusic) in the video responses! really recommend

  • this song of my mind. my dear friend

  • I finally figured the chord sequence, after 35 years!...JT is without parallel (close call perhaps with Fogelberg, Jimmy Webb, Joni.)...but as a performer -peerless!

  • That is a beautiful thick head of hair

  • who else saw James in San Marco in Venice?

  • Thanks to Carole for writing this masterpiece.

  • Great song and heartfelt lyrics that i can identify with,life can be shit but it's better if you are lucky enough to have someone to share the problem with and cheer you up !

  • OMG such wonderful memories 

  • omg James taylors looks like a hippy bt still sounds the same! i love this song!awesome lyrics! the guitar playing is soooo good and the pianno is awesome!

  • Wow!!!! listen to STEVE KATZ in the video responses (For the first time) IT's so good!!!!!

  • Likeeee....but I love the latin version by Lucero,, beautiful

  • This song was 40 years ago no.5 in the world charts #james #taylor

  • @theDeckisStacked couldnt have put it better myself, you sir or madam are a legend

  • @theDeckisStacked if only more musicians/ singers were like her

  • james taylor is the voice of a generation almost.

  • My parents used to always play James Taylor to my sister and me when we were just little kids. Absolutely adore his voice. So I finally did a cover of Up On The Roof :P I'm not just being a spambot, I'd just like James Taylor fans to come and have a look and see what they think rather than loads of youtube trolls. So yeah, check it out :)

  • I think Jesus wrote this song in Heaven ~

    I feel James Taylor's singing it to the world was a Heavenly choice ~

    Peace,

  • New breakthrough artist with similar acoustic soulful melodies: Give a new artist a chance! :)

    myspace.co m/sady_james

    Much appreciated!

  • :D

  • this is how it should be, there was once a race for the christmas number 1's back when i was a youngun, and awesome songs like this were created and played, however, the musical industry has been ruined by the xfactor and talentless people...it kinda makes me a little sad...i am going to put it right, when i get far enough, i will send a message out to the people who understand real music and get the charts back how they used to be.

    Death to terrible songs and the xfactor, whos with me?

  • I write music inspired soley by James Taylor - Please help a new artist out and take a peek :)
