If you like this kind of true-heart music you might like my music video. It's the only video on my channel. You don't have to watch it, not trying to spam. Just think some of you might enjoy it.
Love you dad, why you committed suicide I don't know, but I have a tattoo, on the top of my spine for you, miss you, but hate you at the same time, but will always be thankful, you are the reason I am here, thinking of you since 1991(even though I was only one), properly found out what happened in 2006, but I'm happy I knew, even though my nan didn't want me to X
Always one of my most favorite songs, ever, and now, when I sing it or hear it being sung, I think of Jesus and how much this song is appropriate while thinking about Him!
My late best friend and i had a falling out earlier this year and after we made amends, he posted this video on my fb wall. i was so touched i cried and ever since, its been one of the most special tunes for me. he died in july so it means more to me now than it ever has. RIP Graham, my best friend and chosen brother. i love you.

A lovely, emotiionally deep song. So many of James Taylor's songs were thought provoking and/or heart-felt. He sang of things very important tn the scheme of things and those feelings deep within the soul A great post.
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,
There are some things that just are. Then there's all the other stuff that we all deal with. This just is, and - that's sometimes all we want. My funeral will be this message, no more.
I just got a "you've got a friend" tattoo today... my mom used to sing it to me when I'd come home crying from being bullied in elementary school. Love you forever mom <3
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.
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.
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!
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!
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 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!
when i was small my parents always played James Taylor! ;)

So yeah, check it out :)
