Think of Me With Kindness by Gentle Giant

[TheBjarnen]

yikes, what a crappy song...my eaars my eaaars

[centrehice]

I have to be in the mood to listen, but there are few bands which make you want to listen to the whole album in one sitting: Gentle Giant (Octopus), Captain Beyond (first album), Jethro Tull (Aqualung), Beatles (White Album & Abbey Road).

I’m sure there are more....but those come to mind right away for me.

[peteryyz43]

This genius track just turns me into a blubbering wreck every time I hear it.......how to end a relationship with grace and dignity-played and sung with sensitivity and beauty that's just beyond anything I've ever heard!!

[albertain117]

i almost cried to this song when i saw them live in Quebec and fucking 14 love gentle giant

[plpicher]

who's that little man in the jar?

[MrNicespaces]

@plpicher;

Joaquin Murrieta

[dummbatz48]

This song was just so unexpected and so beautiful the first time I heard it!

[EvenZappa]

Beautiful song...in MY opinion THE best song on the album... :-)

Thank you for posting it!

[bobareebop]

LOVE the euphonium!

[bobareebop]

@bobareebop I stand corrected, it's an old-school mellophone. Still love it.

@hasbeenshaken

For me it's Knots. It's the most original rock song I've ever heard in my life.

[Nobodie92]

@Groderon This band is great this is one of my favorites from this album, what does age have to do with listening to music. Just keep that to yourself, people of all ages should enjoy Gentle Giant.

GG is one of the beautiful things that happened in my life! I'm always recalling their music after all these years! Thanks for uploading this beautiful piece of our existence!

[brucecolgate]

It doesn't seem like it was 30 years ago or so that I first heard this band.

Unbelievable virtuosity and creativity. Are they still doing any recording or shows?

Thanks.....

[po24244908]

simply beautiful

[nalcow]

♪♫ Fare thee well, fare thee well, you that was once dear to me.Think of me with kindness.. Think of me :(

[po24244908]

a lot better than most mainstream love songs........

[CoastForager]

Beautiful!

[femacure]

The sweetest sad song ever - still listen to it endlessly when I have to say goodbye to somebody with dignity and beauty - I'll always think 'these times' with kindness being already 51

[iGorship777]

Those vocal harmonies are awesome!

[rejtmand]

GRAN CANCION

[Sibarit1973]

GG is pure genius. How I wish I was old enough to go to a concert. My favorite band ever.

[Topographer]

I always told my little sister (back in the 70s) that Gentle Giant, Yes, Focus etc. will be remembered forever and that her idols (ABBA) etc. will be forgotten.

Sadly I was wrong.

[Anglagard1]

@Topographer: I said the same thing to all of those who joined the KISS Army. Time will yet prove the wiser, though.

[thecrimsonfloyd]

I love Kerry's voice! So gentle and soft. absolutely perfect!

[ruthy247]

I first heard this in 1973 as a broken hearted teenager - oh the bitter sweetness. I have loved it ever since.

[MrUrgando]

GG aren't very popular just cos their musical skills are too high and their talent is too great for those stupid people who just listen to stupid music.

Their lyrics always fit the music and I think this is their best talent.

I'm pretty sure this band, along with others such as King Crimson or Jethro Tull (just to name 2 of them) will be studied at school in the future, like classical composers of the past are studied now. I'm sure about that and silly bands of the present will be forgotten.

[nalcow]

@MrUrgando I'd add ELP. Classical rock connection.

[YoniiBoy]

@MrUrgando Well said

[FraterAeternus93]

I'm new to this band , Im impressed !

[Hyardacil]

One of the only love ballad GG ever composed I think...

[Slip1man]

Another tremendous piece from GG. Creative, with an unbelievable vocal (thanks Kerry!) and dynamic passion. It is a song that I have been listening to for almost 35 years, and never get tired of it.

[sajanoli]

They made simple lyric to emphasize the intimacy.

[perdunchiki]

great album! heard it first time in 1974, loved it, amazing level of skills and superb musical intellectuality

[record1207]

This was my 1st GG lp. A fan since and forever. Thanks for sharing.

[Inthescissor]

I'm altso 14. It's because they are progressive and that is too complicated for most people today.

[nalcow]

well I am complicated guy that's why I think I love this music.. I am 32 .. this musi is for posterity.. no matter how many fans in the world are out there.

[verplanck]

boys in the band or knots

[LukeSniper]

@verplanck

I'd agree with that... Knots is just an amazing piece of music.

This is definitely my favorite Gentle Giant SONG though... it's simple enough to be reduced to chords and a melody, and it's brilliant.

[mandrew81]

this song makes tears flow when you listen to it right after you break up with someone

[mariosilveyra]

Maravilloso!

[ppihan]

first time i listen to this an I wonder to myself, how did i live this whole time ......

[rejtmand]

Que tema !!!

El mejor de la banda sin duda

[vinylosaur]

I haven't heard this since I was 14 - I loved the whole album then, and think it stands the test of time magnificently. Interesting how one can drift away from things that one loves, then forget that one loved them... Really glad to have rediscovered this - thanks!

[Codroy17]

In my opinion it would probably be "A Cry For Everyone" or "The Advent of Panurge". Every song on the album is great though.
