Probably my favorite Andy Williams song. In the video, I love the over 40 different images used, and I appreciate how much effort went into collecting them. I’m working on a video that requires 87 images, only a third of which were available from the Web. The rest I had to create myself. I also like how you faded from one image to another, rather than use all the fancy (and annoying) types of dissolves available in video editing programs. Great song. Great video. Thanks for posting it!
I and several of my friends owned copies of this Andy Williams LP, back in the day. We used to call it "the most depressing album in the world", but we loved it and listened to it over and over. This song especially is so beautiful, and the images you selected for the video are sheer perfection. Thanks so much for posting it -- what a lovely, wistful memory!
We had this record when I was a child. There's a street called Loney Street in Northeast Philadelphia that runs into the suburban community of Rockledge, ends at the entrance to a cemetery, and then picks up again on the other side in Abington Township. Every time I see it, I read it as Lonely Street and think of this song!
I listen to this song after my brother Steve passed away.. I miss him so badly. I love this song.. I want to find the lonely street to weep.. so I could let out all my grieve...
thank you for sharing the song... Where is this place call Lonely Street?
@fred35ify I"m sorry you're lonely.Hope things get better. I think we all have been there at one time or another, especially after the loss of a loved one, or after the loss of a relationship.
What a beautiful song. The violins in the background are heavenly, I have always loved this song Andy Williams has a unique voice. No one else sounds like him. Just like Jim reeves. No one else sounds like him either. I was only 13 when this came out and loved it then and still love it now.
I remember when this came out and it is still oneof the smoothest sounds he ever did, a Great Song. Thanks for listing, it was one a jukebox in the small town of Delano ca...
When it comes to versatility, Andy Williams is the best of the great easy-listening popular singers. Other singers could swing better (Sinatra, Mel Torme) or do the blues more convincingly (Ray Charles) or sing a big ballad with more drama (Englebert Humperdinck), but Williams had an uncanny knack for taking songs of the late 50's, 60's, and early 70's and creating versions that were just as good or better than the originals. A fabulous singer with a great voice and marvelous technique.
He was only 32 when he did this? The more I learn about Williams, the more convinced I am that he is one of the finest pure vocalists in American history. This is just phenominal singing.
I LOVE your pictures! I am always in search of pictures that depict empty streets, especially those dimly lit by street lamps. There is such loveliness in everyday sights such as these. Where did you find them? Or did you take them yourself?
Beautiful! just Beautiful!!!

@smartj26 I agree with you. Perry Como is great too. I love his "Just Out of Reach of My Two Empty Arms" but can't find it anywhere.
