I heard this for the first time in 1976 ish? in West Germany... as it was then..... and couldnt find it anywhere after that...... very poignant......

Continuing, if I may from my response: on "Take me to Tomorrow" John does James Taylor's "Carolina in My Mind" - and blows James' version away. He finds the venom in the song and doesn't shy away from it. Brutal - and brilliant. A lot of his fans did not care for this side of him. To me - it made him so very human and I enjoyed his lighter songs for it.

@rockesque John's second album: Take Me to Tomorrow" - which, at last check, is not available on CD. Probably the most well-known song on the album is "Starwood in Aspen". As someone who has suffered from depression I kicked myself when I learned that John had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. It should have been apparent from the first two albums. "Take Me" was as dark as "Rhymes and Reasons" was bright. I'm disappointed - over at Amazon I talked about John's darker work.

a lovely tribute to all those poor boys.
they gave their lives, no matter one thinks of the wars they were involved in,
then and now.

This is the saddest song ever written, I tear every time I hear it.

What album is this song from?
-
Sad indeed--I never heard this before.

One of them anyway. I think another of Paxton's songs ties with it. Its called "The Bravest" and its about the firefighters on 9/11

Nice video and I forgot John Denver had covered this. But do you know how to spell "their?"

sorry about the spelling, I guess I wasn't paying attention.
