There's nothing profound here. I've always found this song to be "catchy." This was a whimsical, fun one for me to do and the music is very nostalgic for me. Hope you enjoy in HQ. I'm a big Bacharach fan and have another of his tunes on my channel, Pacific Coast Highway. I also enjoyed the pictures of the "ghost towns." Thanks for watching.

  • I thought he says I'm gonna send out a msg to no one. not Noah

  • @terjecan Google it yourself. I can see where you'd think that. I often misunderstand lyrics to songs. I always research them. Thanks for watching.

  • This is such a wonderful song. With its' Oompa carnival- like beat, juxtaposed over a1920s ballroom dance string accompaniment,- it seems to be of a former time, however its lyric presents the human experience of observing change so delightfully, it instantly becomes relevant to the listener. The cover art on the original album has always suggested to me a post-apocalyptic image- with B.J.Thomas left walking about an world emptied of people. The song becomes ironic. Its' great! Fantastic job!!

    Thank you and thanks for watching!

  • Burt Bacharach & BJ Thomas ... that combination maravilhosaaaaaaaaa !!!!!!!!! ..

    hear that melody is lost the fear of being alone in a dark room and turns the dreams of a trip to the past thousands of years. that sound and I still live a relationship of an ever-present desire, as when someone leaves a love note where it will always be found.

    is the most beautiful song bj thomas.

  • @luiz70650 Thank you for translating. I'm glad you find solace in the song.

  • I don't think Burt and Hal meant for this tune to have post apocalyptic overtones, but I thought of it this past weekend, when the crazy California preacher was predicting the rapture. It's a wonderful song.

  • It's a song about lonliness

  • I picture a drunken bum waking up in the morning thinking it's evening. I speak from experience!
