I am so happy to hear and see this - I fell in love with this song the first time I heard it on my transistor radio. :) I am so happy to have found it again, it's like coming back to the comfort of an old friend. Thank you so much!!!

Thank you for the message... John

This song and album is the sole reason I still have a record player attached to my stereo. Thanks for the song and for posting it.

Ever since I was a child, I have loved this song. I didn't understand English back then, but there was something about the music and his voice that captivated me. With the time I could understand the lyrics and I fell in love with the song.

Thanks for sharing and letting us enjoy such a master piece.

Regards from Uruguay

Ah John, you have taken me back to nearly forgotten bygone days. Your bittersweet ballad has aged better than fine wine. Where have you been all of these years? Which is to ask... where do I find anything that you have done since Read On?

Thank you, John, for your beautiful song. As others have written, I heard this song on the radio when I was a pre-teen and I've never forgotten it. Every so often, it's pops into my head. It popped in today when I was in front of my computer and I googled it. It sounds as good as it ever did!

WOW my dad just showed me some of his old Lps and you were one of them. He told me that he once recorded him self singin this song when he was in the 20s So I figured out the chords and got him to sing once more :) Beautiful song Thanks / Mark in Sweden

"Such is the Mystery" is another one of the songs from the promo album I had....Fabulous Music!! Thanks again.

Wow...I can't believe I am seeing this. I first listened to you in the late 70;s. My brother had a promo album with the song "Some People are Crazy".....great song and great album. I can not find it anywhere, I have been looking for 30 years. If you know where I could get a copy of that promo album please let me know. Your music is one of a kind. It inspired me at 17 and still at 49 I love it. Would love to see you do some songs from that promo album. I have a few of the MP3s.

In the late 70's, I was a DJ at a 100,000 watt FM station in Kansas, and this song was on our play list. It was the first time I had ever heard it, and I quickly went out and bought the album. I could never listen to it - at work or at home - without tears welling up.( ...and I couldn't just now, either!) It's beautiful, man... absolutely gorgeous poetry! Thank you for this song, and for the memories it now rekindles!...
