quite simply my favourite song of all time by my favourite artist alongside mccartney. reminds me of my childhood. even though leicesters a long way from glens country.
This song was made for him.. It's funny that it's not always the case where the writer of the song does the best version of it.. You've got a friend by Carol King is another example .. James Taylor done the most successful version of that song. Mind you Campbell should have stayed in bed the day he recorded time in a bottle, he did an appalling job of that great Croce song.
Was literally searching for this song for 3 or 4 months, the only two words I could remember were the "at all", didn't even remember the "I don't really know clouds."
I thought for sure it was a Marty Robbins song...Searched endlessly, then the other day at work I heard it on TV while cutting underpad for a customer and darted to the TV to get the name and artist...It was like finding that heirloom you lost last year.
Wonderful song by many artists including this awesome version. I've done my own cover of this & I endeavour to up load this & other stuff on to you tube so keep your eyes & ears open. Cheers!
loved neil diamond's version of this song but i think glen cambell's version is better. thanks for the pictures and the posting of this beautiful song
There must be someone out there having a real bad time of it who has sworn to all things holy that nary a video will exist on You Tube without at least one Mag ich nicht (German for I don't like) on it. Schade (Pity).
another fantastic singer. extremely clear even when he flexes his vocal tones. this is very unlike rhinestone cowboy but that just shows his range and what he can express with his tonal control ... excellent.
Superb! I thought of those innocent people who lost their lives in the recently bloodbath incident at The Quirino Grandstand and also to Ex.Sen./Insp. Mendoza..This tragic event could be avoided if only some people heed to his requests. May their Souls Rest in PEACE. And let those people in Military Uniforms be punish of their Stupidity and Negligence...
It seems that Glen Campbell could have sung almost any pop tune in his heyday, imbue it with pathos, and caress the song with the honey-toned timbre of his youthful, yet virile, voice. His phrasing and musical sensitivity allowed him to sing country and pop equally well. There are/were few singers able to do what he did to lyrics.
This is a nice example of one person writing a song and another person bringing it to life. Campbell shines on this one and the acustic arrangement adds a lot to the overall delivery.
This is beyond beautiful. Probably one of Campbell's most haunting, eloquent recordings. Astonishing in his phrasing. I've always loved Collins' version and see why it was such a hit, as it's more "pop" in its presentation, but this version just reaches into one's soul. I love Joni Mitchell and Campbell as a rule, so I'm surprised I'd never heard this before. Simply gorgeous.
I'll be nice, and say that Neil Diamond's version sucks.
This version is, in my opinion, at least as good as St. Judy's version. Her voice has an airy, ethereal beauty to it that few vocalists have.
Yet Glen Campbell pulls this off effortlesly, and beautifully, and interprets in a way all his own. A special version of a very special, personal song...
Debate over whose version of this song is "best" proves three things:
(1) An astounding number of legendary singers haved deemed it worthy of their efforts, (2) The song moves almost seamlessly through arangements from rock, pop, folk, country, jazz, even cabaret. Precioius few songs are so definitive yet so adaptable. (3) It 's a truly timeless song. We're debating this 42 years after the song was first recorded! That can be said about precious few songs. BTW - my favorite version is Judy's.
without doubt, this is the best version, effortless and riding in the cloud.,\\, It is rich and powerful! Campbell is a breed of his own, we human kind is fortunate to have him in this world. I for one, consider myself lucky to be born and live in his generation !
This version is by Faar the BEST the voice the effortless manner in which it is sung ie a bit of country and pop MOST ENJOYABLE very good from a Good Artist
Mitchell's own version of her great song is the best. Apart from JM's, however,, Campbell's is my favorite. He conveys the song's mood very well, and his voice has ample color (UNLIKE Judy Collins' thin, tinny instrument, for example) to convey the emotions therein --
Ah what can you say. Glen Campbell is awesome and he can still sing just about anything and still sound great at it. Glen has been a favorite of mine for years.
@mick515 It was a hard time but he lives an extraordinary life and was honored by 800 friends and family at his celebration of life. We Played Glen Campbelle's " Both sides now" song. He asked that we do that because it was his favourite song.
@sbbinahee he was a private pilot among other things. When I was a boy he and I would fly all over the place. He really enjoyed flying above the low lying clouds to show me that clouds had two sides. When we look up at clouds often see only an aproaching storm..when we look down at them we see their beauty.
@gmanw3 my dad passed away a few years ago now this was his fav too we played the frank sinatra version at his funeral both your dad and mine had good musical taste god bless them both.
@gmanw3 I'm sorry to hear that, I hope this song brings you comfort when you hear it! This song always reminds me of Germany as I used to live there as a kid!
Gman, I'm sorry about your loss. You might be comforted by Joni Mitchells' rendition in 2000. Its much more pensive, and still brings tears to my eyes. You can just search for "Joni Mitchell both sides now 2000" and you'll see it. Its the one with her in the evening gown. Again, I'm sorry for your loss.
My Aunt Rena (Clydebank - Scotland) passed away last Thursday after a long battle with breast cancer. We drifted apart as I got older but when I was a kid Rena was my cuddly Hippie aunt who played guitar & sang around the campfire up at Arochar on the shores of Loch Long. This was the song I always looked forward to her performing. Rena taught me my first few chords on the guitar and I love her for that...
I remember as a kid the car journeys from London to Scotland to see family. Glen was always on Dad's playlist. Even as a child I loved his version and the perfect production with strings. Beautiful.
This is one of such old songs that have really found their special place in the sun.They would always remind people of their good old days. Thank you so much for uploading this one.
Absolutely beautiful - Glen's voice and Al De Lory's strings and arrangement! This is one of early Glen's best. Good job, egaygigi, in selecting and using the photographs.
