I was only joking - Life Scenery

[Ciderhead69]

In and out of jobs running free waging war with society,

dumb blank faces stare back at me

Sums my teenage years up .

[fluffybroon]

Iam scottish love this song it remindes me of my school days becaues i wsant there at school lol good memoreys.

[worm60]

if i could ever have written a song about me,,,this is the one..i was 18 when it came out & it was so much a story of my life..

[finkhem]

I guess this was me unfortunatley (or not) still is. Fin

[john92165]

When I was a younger man, I was a club dj and this was always the last song of the night for me. It seemed to fit the time quite well. Weren't those the days.

[plofus]

some of the greatest lyrics ever.

[VespaT]

"Me & the lad thought we had it sussed, Valentinos all of us,my dad said we looked ridiculous" always reminds me of Mar'82 on leave, me & 3 mates off up town thinking we were the dogs & my old man ( ex 3 para CSM) saying we looked like prats, last night we were all together, I'm the only one left now,always brings a tear. RIP boys. "Ready for anything"

[valeriejolie]

this touched me :"(

[katieclapton]

saw report in paper today that said we filter out the bad memories and only remember the good stuff..if only. This is Rod at his best

[peterdonck1]

stewart op zijn best,dit vind ik echt zijn mooiste song ever.

[lepenseur76]

mijn overgrootvader is het helemaal met je eens, Peter!

[markydjh]

i was only 18 when his song came out and that was probably the last time i listened to to this grat singer - good memories

[arai59]

I'm with you brother. Those were truly the best of times. Someone turn back the hands of time.......please.

[19833hiwaynettw]

Those good old days...

[19833hiwaynettw]

Hi,markydjh

Thanks for watching!

There's always something there to remind us!

Those good memories ...

[tamela1965]

this song is the glue that held Footloose and Fancy Free together.

[19833hiwaynettw]

cool!

[rathdeort2008]

I always liked this song. A little autobiographical perhaps for Mr Stewart?

[19833hiwaynettw]

Yes,Rod Stewart is the legend!

Thanks for watching!

[xXkoalabear00]

haha

[19833hiwaynettw]

Thank you !

[Ignauhak]

The story of the song sounds like a serial womaniser owning up to those whose feelings he hurt, and to some of his more personal flaws in general. That's really BIG of ANYBODY to do!

A song seems to be a perfect apology.

[19833hiwaynettw]

Thank you,Kahurangi

You really can tell a good story.

Good job!

[Ignauhak]

You know my real name, but I don't know yours, yet. I'd like to, please.

[19833hiwaynettw]

Thank you,Kahurangi

My name is 盛新昌 ,I live in Taiwan.

May you be happy forever.

[Ignauhak]

Your name is what?

[19833hiwaynettw]

Hi,Kahurangi

My name is 盛新昌,a Chinese name.

You can call me daryl.

Have a nice day!

[Ignauhak]

Thank you, Daryl. I'd call you by your Chinese name, but it doesn't come-up in my text. All I see is 3 squares saying 16, 65 and 66. You wouldn't wnat to be called a number, would you?

[19833hiwaynettw]

Thank you,Ignauhak

You are so kind.

Just call me daryl.

I wish you a Merry Christmas~

And a Happy New Year ...

[Ignauhak]

You're welcome, Daryl.

You sound like an alright guy yourself. Merry Xmas etc. to you as well.

[plokjoy]

one of my dads fave songs,summed him up to a tee, we played it at his funeral along with always look on the bright side - monty python, both of which make me smile and cry at the same time when i think of him r.i.p rodders.

[InterWebAndyRoo]

I know what you mean, it describes my dad in the same way.

I'm sorry to hear about your dad.

When my dad passes, I'll play this song for him.

[19833hiwaynettw]

May his soul rest in peace.

Was a fan from the first, saw him everywhere, bought everything. A true fan. Then spent New Years Eve in his company. Dreams ahattered, pompous arrogant little shit.I still listen to his music but the magic has long gone, oh well.....

[19833hiwaynettw]

Hi,Grace

I don't know who he is...

but I love his music.

It's a pleasure to meet you here.

Have a nice day!

[eydie57]

this song takes me straight back to the 70's. i watched him perform this on the Midnight Special and he was so gorgeous and i have loved him ever since. of course, i loved his earlier songs, but this cemented him as one of my all time favorites. he's simply timeless.

[19833hiwaynettw]

Hi,eydie

Thanks for watching!

I think you like Stevie Nicks, too.

After the glitter fades

is one of my favorite songs.

[Superstryker63]

Great song!!! & I'm not joking!!!

[makingsense53]

This is one of my favorite Rod Stewart songs. I love songs that reflect on a lifetime and this is one of the best. It's up there with the Beatles In My Life and Marmalades Reflections Of My Life. Peace

[19833hiwaynettw]

Hello,makingsense53

You know good music.

Those were the days!

Have a nice day !

[makingsense53]

Thank you for noticing. Peace.

[andrewriv10]

My dad loves this song. Me and him once had a father son moment on a rainy day. He told me while he was fighting back tears about his childhood and things like that. And this song was him and his friends favorite. I'm glad he made me listen to it.

[19833hiwaynettw]

Hi,andrew

That was such a beautiful rainy day.

[meredumais]

Do you live in Taiwan?

This is very nostalgic for me. I lived in Taipei (Yangmingshan) as a kid in the 70's and loved Rod Stewart! I know we went to Hualien at least once...isn't that near Taroko Gorge?

Anyway, loved the country and the people. I've always wanted to go back. Is this footage recent? Thanks !

[ngfxoxo]

Mere, where did you say this was shot? I have been told different places, and it looks a LOT like the Ewa coast of Oahu.

Love this song, so pretty and and boy can I relate.

[19833hiwaynettw]

Hi,jen

I live in Hualien, Taiwan.

Last year I take a train to I-Lan,

I looked outside and listened to the song .

I was so touched !

The scenery seemed to sing this song !

So I cameraed through the window !

This is very near to the Taroko Gorge.

Always welcome back here!

[wellershill]

What are you talking about - he's very much alive.

[johnmoore291063]

Loved lead solo on this along with Rod's gutso singing, Gr8 melody too.

[19833hiwaynettw]

Hi,John

Thank you very much !

I am glad you like it!

This song is beautiful,isn't it ?

[jat0rz]

this was my pops favorite song to play on the guitar... he passed away almost a week ago at 58 due to cancer.. two of his best friends played the acoustic of this song at his funeral... enjoy this song.. it means more then youll ever know

[19833hiwaynettw]

May God rest his soul in peace.

Thanks for watching!

[angusthethird]

One of Rod Stewart's best. This song makes me chuckle. I am a teacher, and get to watch the kids do things I used to do as a kid at school. I thought that rebelling against authority was so cool!

Thank you !

I guess you are a wonderful teacher!

My best mate Gary Keane is long gone now, but this was one of his favourite songs, it adds us both up

[19833hiwaynettw]

Rest in Peace, Gary.

God loves we all.

[ukgolfa]

...the change from acoustic to electric guitar is just one of the many brilliant moments in this song.

As far as a pop/folk singer, he's at the top of his craft here, with brilliant session musicians behind him.

Cheers for this.

[19833hiwaynettw]

Rod Stewart will be happy to read this.

[IvanCLee]

One of the best parts of this song is the guitar solo. It really makes the song. I always consider it one of pop music's best guitar solos. The rest I like are Hotel CA's, Macca & Wing's My Love

[19833hiwaynettw]

Thank you,IvanCLee

It seems like you are a good person and full of love for those classic songs.

The guitar solos truly is the spirit of the song.

Have a nice day !

Are you SURE it's Taiwan? Looks so much like the Wai'anae coast of Oahu. It this is Taiwan, wow, it is beautiful. Just like this song.

I have been looking for another Rod Stewart song, Never Give Up on Your Dreams - it is about Terry Fox, from Canada (like me) - can anyone find it? Amazing song, and amazing story, what he did. Mahalo!

[froipogi]

Fill my heart and fill my soul with tenderness.

-F.R David

[nobodysgirlforever]

I have always loved this song. I think the scenery is Hawaii, does anyone know? And the instrumental part blows me away. Is there a mandolin in there? Beautiful song.

[19833hiwaynettw]

Hi,I like your name,looks like a pretty lady.

The scenery is Hualien,Taiwan.

I made this video to prove my love to Rod Stewart.I am his super fan.

I love this Song anyone who was a teenager in 1978 was so lucky(like me) to have great music coming out every month buying Albums for 5 bucks.

[19833hiwaynettw]

Those good old days...

I was lucky(like you)too.

[RabbitRed]

I was too. I loved this song so much I used to play it everyday before I went to school. Yeah, me 'n Rod go waaaaay back.

[cyclefire]

I love the way Rod sings. It seems like he's just talking to you, sharing his stories. Few singers got that gift. Seems like singers like them are no more these days. Truly the last of the great ones.
