Tim Hardin - Part Of The Wind

[mouldybear]

Beautiful singer.

[mathildesophia]

genius and brilliant- words nowadays so often used for people who don't deserve it at all- Tim Hardin deserves these qualifications for 100 % and more! He is the best singer & songwriter I know.

[ecdysview]

What I wonder is, where are Ruthie and Juliette now, who introduced me to Tim

back in the days we lived on Franklin Street in Cambridge, 1962-63 :)

[hansw16]

Tim Really was a genius, one of the best singer-songwriters

[babystinky]

@hansw16

100% Agreed.

[neilieB]

Tim Hardi; The uncelebrated poet of my generation!!!!!!!!!

[hansw16]

@neilieB

Tim was one of the best, one of the most talented singer-songwriters

So underestimated by many

[blackdog2403]

@hansw16 very very underrated

[babystinky]

@hansw16

yea that is very true. tim hardin was a genius.

[desertra1]

Next to Freddie Mercury, my favorite musician ever,

[neilieB]

No wonder I'm such an unrepentent romantic

[neilieB]

Tim left us so much to listen to. I was fortunate to have met him once a long tiime ago in Putney Vt after a concert he gave at Windham college .in 1968. He left me aerason to believe

[TheGanjajoe]

@neilieB Was that the concert with Odetta? Tim was in rare form that nite. I met him a couple of years earlier in Lyndeboro, NH. He introduced me to Johnny Cash at that time. Tim and I stayed friends and had a few good drunks together. Last spent time with him in Brookline, Ma. where he promised to publish my book, took my script, headed to Ca. and died shortly thereafter. I do miss him. Crazy son of a bitch with a lot of pain in his head and in his heart

[magus1805]

Very soulful.......perfect song.

[trailmix1969]

Listening to this wonderful cut by Tim. Can't say if this  Reason to Believe or It'll Never Happen Again would be my favs. Each song he did had a quavering feeling that brought you into his web. Sorry he had to go!! Love his rockers also! Got to see him at Downstairs at the Upstairs Club in NYC 1972-73 and I was happy to have seen him live.

[snowdancer]

So beautifully sung and played, such a beautiful song. Tim, we love you.

[miketheshanmanmangan]

Haunting is the music of the late Tim hardin from the great ballads he gave us to the raucus Smugglin Man long live the memory of long tall Timmy!!

[dorisbones]

think this could be my favorite of his too, lovely

[Vitanova999]

I just found a treasure ! Such a beautiful melody and his voice... I'm speechless and a bit sad....

[potaluca]

When he sings in this mode it always sounds like his voice is cracking and he is close to breaking out in tears...so beautiful.

[miketheshanmanmangan]

From such greats as Misty Roses,It,ll never happen again to the rockin Smugglin Man as well as this one tim hardin remains one of the best or as Billy Joel said Only the Good Die young R .I.P. Tim Hardin

[leenlouie]

This song haunts me for days now, so beautiful....

thnx hansw16 for sharing..

[Ms1Radiohead]

He was trained as a classical musician. He committed suicide at I think a young age.  I always found his music very beautiful and haunting,

[RossM3838]

Tim was a few days shy o his 40th birthday when he took his own life in december 1980.

[rakeuiff]

Drug overdose mot suicide

[rakeuiff]

He did not commit suicide , he overdosed on heroin. accidently.

[maida1982a]

at his best, no one could touch tim for his breadth of talent. unique vocal phrasing, so much more than your garden variety singer-songwriter.

[barrottceaver]

Slightly azzy arrangement, I enjoyed this very much.

[lilackine]

I dont think i had ever heard this beautiful song before thank you

If I were a ............. reason to believe

[inkonmyarm]

Absolutely stunning....melody, lyric, inflection, feeling, delivery, soul. I am continually staggered that Tim remains so underrated.

[TrueBlueSue49]

This song is one of the absolute best of all music that I have heard. Listen to the lyrics and the complex vocals and chords. He was a genius and this is my favorite song of his.

[aslesur]

I love this song so much. So sad and so beautiful.
