this song makes me cry cuzz he wrote this about his kid(who was unborn at the the time) and he didnt get to see him cause he died soon after in a plane crash. wahh :(
American idol season two brought me here.... Some weird little guy sang it.... and i mean cmon, baaaad bad leroy brown?? Jim croce is a god among men ( or was ... If hes dead... In which case i hope hes not, but would celebrate his death with compassion rather than fill my heart with greif)
Try to discover the great musician Jim Croce and not just this song from a movie commercialPleaaaaaase!(I`m Greek and i know all about him since many many years!You???)
@AngieKaraf dont be such an ass blowing your own horn just because you knew this song already before the hangover 2, we're ALL here for the song , gayboooooy!!
@DPwatkykjy Gayboy?I`m a woman!And i don`t know only this song,i know the singer and all of his songs!Idiot!(And something else,Hangover 2 sucks,only Zach Galifianakis worths!)
@AngieKaraf whatever dude, dont go on here and talk about the hangover 2 , its cool that you know this song by that movie, but try to keep it real ok, we're all here for the song so... please be nice
@HipHopPolooza I am!I just don`t like how this is happening!What more can i say?At least i hope younger people try and discover (starting from this song)Jim Croce and his songs!(Not that i`m much older than you!:))
@RockNRolla1996 NO IT DID FUCKING NOT YOU LOWSEY PEICE OF SHIT!!!!!!!! THAT MOVIE BROUGHT THIS SONG BACK TO LIFE!!!!!!! think about it if it wasent for that movie how many people who didnt know about this song would of found out about it?
songs like this are made to be played in this quality!!! if you put them in HQ then you're destroying it!!! that's the way that my father grew me up and the way that someone learns to respect music :D
powerful song. i always get flashbacks of happy times and then it makes me less worried for tomorrow when i hear this. and i love the way the vinyl sounds, i think those were way better than CD's. haha.
This song will always remind me of my me and my dad spending quility time together and thinking of the different ways you could interperate this song. Now he's gone, he's left me for another family in England... what happend? This song makes me wonder...
Luv the old sound: thanks. It brings me back to my childhood...the way I used to listen to all music. Croce was a very talented musician. And like so many he died far too young with a loss left in the world of music...
@norb1937 Actually, he has a lot of other songs. If you like this song and "I Got a Name" and you have some free time, you should probably type "Jim Croce" into the YouTube search field and listen to some of what comes up.
l thought this song was created by Ricardo Arjona but I was wrong. I listened to it today an I was amazed, it sounded incredibly fantastic. Honestly the original vveresion sounds and transmits feeling better than in Spanish. Great song. If any of us could save the time in a bottle just to get energy to continue in the life would be fantastic.
did you just apologize for the quality? Don't. It's just fine. I think I prefer it this way. Plus the simple image of the cover art is so much better than a slideshow.
@SuperErVer Its a beautiful song and like you say, a simple video that complements the song perfectly. Wish i had someone to sing a song like that to me :-)
I once was at a friends house and he was playing the guitar and started playing and singing this song. He wasn't playing it to me, but being a guy, it was a little awkward listening to him play it when I was his only audience. lol
thank you for the sentimental journey to Jim Croce's voice and talent. We were robbed when he died, I remember I just couldn't believe it when we lost him so young. His voice and talent: superb.
You may not believe what this song REALLY means. Find out at the blog SongSense.info. They've got all the details. Seriously, all the stuff they tell you there is incredible.
An excellent song, like allother songs of late Great Jim Croce! Only sensitive hearts and minds with ralaxed souls will appreciate. I know, younger generations have less to relate with such great classics!
Changed the name of the video. Sorry to those who I promised about the quality, but the song still the same song to us(; So I appoligize. I put Vnyl next to it so it means its the old original record from years ago! Hahaha this song is a classic and I am glad that the YouTube comunity gave it this many views. I appreciate it. I know the video is loud but theres nothing I can do about it now so I am soory. I hope people still enjoy the song, keep the views coming! Thanks(:
Sadly, if you wrote and sang a song like this to a woman under about 50 years old today, she'd think you were completely gay and make fun of you mercilessly. Just being real. Girls today love rap and grunge music not stuff like this.
I made a poster out of the lyrics for this song my senior year of high school...fell in love 4 years later and understood the real feeling of this song. A favorite for sure!
I almost got to see this man in concert early fall of '72. But I was never given the msg till after the concert. I was in basic training for the USAF at the time. I am soo sorry I never got to see him & go to the oncert with one of the nicest young men I had ever known. Michael, if you see this, thank you for all the wonderful memories & thoughts.
