I’m nearing the end of my life and every time I listen to this song I’m reminded of my youth. Mom and dad were alive and my brothers and sister were living at home. I feel like I was born at the right time. To the future I say this. “ Enjoy the music my generation left you”.
This is an understatement (forgive me), but Glen Campbell was an outrageously talented musician. Not only on guitar, but the tone of his voice. What a talent. Rest in peace Glen.
This is the America that I love, that I admired during my college years in the 70s. But that America has changed. Glen Campbell was the symbol of the good things that America gave to the world. I wish those days would come back one day. RIP Glen, your music is immortal.
Yes American has changed. During the mid 70s 1973-1977 I was in the United States Marine Corps. I've been around the world. But I always thought of my little hometown of Charleston, West Virginia. My late Dad was big Glenn Campbell fan. We never missed Glenn's weekly TV show Glenn.
Noreason to be afraid of dying.. Just remember it's not what you leave behind. It's just everything you leave behind and your kids and everything. You know, my Grandpa always told me if you're gonna do something do, right? Don't leave a stain, leave a legacy
Good God Glenn What a song, I'm 71 years old and never get tired of listening to Glenn sing this song. God bless you Gleand God bless us all. Fred Rodriguez 2023
I'm 70 years old and my generation Knew how to make music. I'm proud of my generation. I lived the best days. I was born at the right time. The generation now they have nothing. There's nothing to remember and kids being born. Today are born into nothing but problems.
When I was 8, I watched Glen on our black and white TV, and fell in love with him and these early songs, got to finally see him once in Auckland NZ 🇳🇿 ❤️😊 it is a love that has never died.. 🎸❤️
Reminds me of my youth. Living room stereo, mom and dad, roaring fireplace, dark winters night. A happier time for me. I had some difficult days in the times of my life, we all have, yes.
😢 I love this tune so much it makes me tear up. I bought this 45 in 1967, I was 16 years old and even then I knew a great tune..here at 73, I still feel the same..
Thirty years ago. I took a small jet to turn myself in at Allenwood Federal Prison Camp to do some time. I used to listen to this song because I had left without saying goodbye to anyone. We had a lake, a bocce court and gym, no fences and an old abandoned church with cemetery we could use. I became successful after I got out and now I'm retired. Songs like these make you travel back in time.
I find myself coming back to this music often. Music of my youth. Brings back so many good memories. This was when we had wonderful music. Glenn was so talented.❤️❤️ 2024 !
In 1964 they put a radio tower across the highway from our family's farm. I was 7. My parents gave me this little diode radio that u put together. It had a single ear phone and I started listening at nite ,laying in my bed .staring out the window at the bllinking red lite at the top of the tower .
I was just 17 when By the Time I Get to Phoenix came out!! Of course I was a huge Beatles etc fan ...but hearing Glen Campbell for the first time, I just fell in love with his voice and songs. Listening to these brings back many memories. Now I am way older and still love listening to this amazing talent!! Glen Campbell you were just amazing and I loved you !!
I remember having my transitor radio on listening to this on my first day of Jr. High!🤩. So grateful to have grown up with the BEST MUSIC of any generation! We had it all - hard rock, folk music, pop & jazz. ✌🏽😎
God this man and his music takes me back. Such a loss to the USA and the world with his passing. Still love listening to his music legacy. Pure Americana.
@@jeffreyleohner3247when you combine his vocal and guitar ability he is one of the greatest performers and musicians of all time. You could argue that he is the greatest and you would not have a weak argument
I love that Jimmy Webb wrote the first two verses of "Wichita Lineman," and Glen and his band just went into the studio and recorded the incomplete song as-is. Jimmy was stunned when Glen told him, "oh, yeah, we finished that recording" while Jimmy was still working on a bridge and third verse.
I saw Glen in concert at a casino showroom, maybe late 70’s or early 80’s and he was tossing out a few signed frisbees; I didn’t catch one but wanted it so badly, I offered $100 to someone who caught one . To this day, my husband mocks me for it but I still have the frisbee!
Simple music can make you sing, a simple hug can make you feel, better, simple things can make you happy, I hope my simple hello will put a smile on your face..
A while ago I was playing golf at Arizona Country Club. We had a foursome and there was this twosome waiting behind us. It was Glen Campbell and the local pro. Glen was a total gentleman.
Again, I have to confess that I was too stupid in the 60's and 70's to appreciate Glen Campbell. I grew up with siblings born from '48 to '53, but I was born much later. I wish that I'd had the musical maturity to know that Glen Campbell was a genius on the guitar with an exceptional voice and the man he gave to us all. God bless him , his family and all of us that love his memory and the talent that he's passed to his progeny...
Have such wonderful memories of listening to Glen Campbell, one of my mom's favorites. The the end of her life, she had Alzheimer's but she could since every word of those songs we listened to so many times. Thank you, Glen Campbell, and Jimmy Webb, for this song and so many memorable songs from "back in the day"! Great memories for me of my mom and good times! Miss you, mom! 💞
I know I was an exception. When I was in the Marines, when everyone else kept pictures of family and current pictures of early '70's rock and roll stars in their rooms, I had a picture of Glen Campbell. I used to dream of being like the "Rhinestone Cowboy". Unfortunately, reality set in and the dreams were all that were left. Thank you, Glen, for my dreams. RIP.
I was fortunate to attend a tribute concert by Jimmy Webb, before Glen passed away. Jimmy told stories of how he first met Glen, and how they became such close friends afterwards. Jimmy is a very talented singer-songwriter.
I went to nursing school in Galveston in the early 70's. Every juke box in town had the song. Glen did a lot for Galveston with the song. It takes me back....to some of the most wonderful tines of my life. Young love, growing up, beginning to understand life.
Galveston and Jimmy Webb perfectly capture a moment in time back in 1968 when so many young men were in Vietnam wondering if their girl back home was still waiting for them. I was 18 in 1968 and that poor GI sitting on a hilltop firebase in Vietnam could have been me.
I don’t think a lot of people realized how much of a badass Glen was at the guitar. He could shred with the best of them with ease. I love you Glen. Rip my childhood crush. ❤
"Galveston" brings back memories of when I first moved to Tallahassee. And immediately had to come back to Jacksonville twice, for draft physicals as the Viet Nam War raged. And how much my older brother was the wind beneath my wings as I attended Florida State University and worked in his music store and recording studio. Even with the bad times, those were the great times. Thank the Lord.
What a great artist he was.Saw his daughter on stage last night thursday 2nd May at Wolverhamton Threatre UK with Posy Modern Jukebox she was singing and playing banjo and guitar absolutly fantastic.Mal UK
The years are rushing by in my declining years. But I remember Glen Campbell's music and particularly By The Time I Get To Phoenix. My late father always played it late at night after I left home to start my own life. RIP dad and Glen, I wish I could turn back the years and spend more time with my dad.
My brother told me to listen to this and I said yes I've heard it a million times bruv he said it's the best love song ever I listen every time and think my brother is right it's so beautiful and hurting song I love it and god bless you Mr Glenn Campbell xx from my brother and me
Simple music can make you sing, a simple hug can make you feel, better, simple things can make you happy, I hope my simple hello will put a smile on your face..
Anyone here in April 2024.
Right with you, my dear🙂
He was so good!!!!! Thank you!
Great music is timeless.😀
Yes. Actually May 2 2024. Glen was one of best to ever walk the earth
❤❤❤
I’m nearing the end of my life and every time I listen to this song I’m reminded of my youth. Mom and dad were alive and my brothers and sister were living at home. I feel like I was born at the right time. To the future I say this. “ Enjoy the music my generation left you”.
Right on. I am the same and I am. Cheers.
God Bless you
Amen. This music is timeless... forever etched in our hearts.🌷
♥️🇬🇧♥️
I think we had the best of it, but I dare say the current generations will feel the same.
This is an understatement (forgive me), but Glen Campbell was an outrageously talented musician. Not only on guitar, but the tone of his voice. What a talent. Rest in peace Glen.
RIP ❤😊

God bless you my friend. I am from the UK and can totally empathise
VERY WELL SAID SIR
Yes American has changed. During the mid 70s 1973-1977 I was in the United States Marine Corps. I've been around the world. But I always thought of my little hometown of Charleston, West Virginia. My late Dad was big Glenn Campbell fan. We never missed Glenn's weekly TV show Glenn.
very well said sir. There is still greatness in the United States of America reflected in people like yourself and Glen Campbell etc. God bless!
I feel the same. I was in the U.S. in the 70's.
I found an old friend tonight. How I’ve missed Glen Campbell’s music. Haven’t listened to these songs in maybe thirty-forty years. ❤️❤️❤️
I miss him...."I'm so afraid of dying" I hope someone misses me when I go.
Someone will miss you,,xx
There's a whole new world the other side
Noreason to be afraid of dying.. Just remember it's not what you leave behind. It's just everything you leave behind and your kids and everything. You know, my Grandpa always told me if you're gonna do something do, right? Don't leave a stain, leave a legacy
I hope your still with us Paul
Get yourself saved and watch that fear fade away
Good God Glenn
What a song, I'm 71 years old and never get tired of listening to Glenn sing this song. God bless you Gleand God bless us all. Fred Rodriguez 2023
Beautiful and touching song
@@johnmumba4085 By the time I get to Phoenix, I found out that the Jets fans outnumber the Coyotes fans when I watch a hockey game there!
I'm from England, last few years, into Glenn Campbell, what have I been missing all these years
.brilliant
You can only say one thing about Glen Campbell. The Best.
I'm 70 years old and my generation Knew how to make music. I'm proud of my generation. I lived the best days. I was born at the right time. The generation now they have nothing. There's nothing to remember and kids being born. Today are born into nothing but problems.
Those of us who grew up with this man...are forever enriched...yes we are. Thanks, Glen.
So true!!!!
@@jeffreyzenz3935 my dad was a support artist for him ,I met him .what a true gentleman
I agree he was the best
Yes we are even now.
I love him and this song.All his songs are beautiful and I love to listen to him sing them. ❤❤
still loving this in 2024
Glen Campbell... One of the most underrated musicians of all time. Talent supreme.
What a Super Talented Beautiful Human Being Glen Campbell
When I was 8, I watched Glen on our black and white TV, and fell in love with him and these early songs, got to finally see him once in Auckland NZ 🇳🇿 ❤️😊 it is a love that has never died.. 🎸❤️

The Orchestra is Absolutely Magical
😢 I love this tune so much it makes me tear up. I bought this 45 in 1967, I was 16 years old and even then I knew a great tune..here at 73, I still feel the same..

For what
Absolutely awesome, Glen Campbell great voice , great guitar playing . Fantastic artist 🎉👌🌟
shame you weren’t a Biden, then you could’ve got away with it …)
Glad you got your life straightened out. God bless you
Never get old
I remember laying on the living room floor of my grandmas house listening to this on the record player
God broke the mold with this incredible man.
I find myself coming back to this music often. Music of my youth. Brings back so many good memories. This was when we had wonderful music. Glenn was so talented.❤️❤️ 2024 !
Our lives have all been enriched by this wonderful man and his fabulous music.
Very privileged, with both 1960s to now.
God bless ❤
There is no music like this as anymore 😢
Hey how are you doing today?
I give Glen a lot of credit,..he sounds better than he ever has..some people are just timeless. Michael.
Timeless music. The world is missing a classic vocalist. His music takes me back to my childhood days. RIP Glen.
There will never be another glen Campbell he was a genius who died to soon rip ❤
Gives you Goosebumps. !
I originally left a nice comment about this artist....
This comment belongs to the special people.....
You need a different planet all to yourselves ❤

Glen and Jimmy Webb , what a combination !
God this man and his music takes me back. Such a loss to the USA and the world with his passing. Still love listening to his music legacy. Pure Americana.
This is how country music should be. Thank you G. Campbell
I feel part of my dad listening 🎶 remember him singing .all Glen Campbell. He had great voice .I miss my dad every day ❤
God's peace to you.
I’m pretty sure Glen Campbell is the reason I’m a hopeless romantic today.
I have always loved him.
Hey how are you doing?😊
I cry when I hear these songs. I get very emotional when I listen to Glen Campbell.
What do you admire most about Glen
Affects me the same way
I'm 62 and I feel the same
Glen could have been a ROCK STAR.....LOL... MISS THIS DUDE
.
Aww i love this so much and reminds me of family happiness in my home Dundee, Scotland ❤❤❤
Back when life was so easy……I was about 12-13…such a happy time to be alive
Me too
❤ can relate 😊
one of the very best guitar players of all time
Absolutely! No doubt about it! Sung well, but one of the top guitarists of all time!
@@jeffreyleohner3247 Eddie Van Halen would have absolutely agreed with that.
@@jeffreyleohner3247when you combine his vocal and guitar ability he is one of the greatest performers and musicians of all time. You could argue that he is the greatest and you would not have a weak argument
Such sadness and loneliness in a few lines. Jimmy Webb is an amazing storyteller
agree, spot on
mr. webb was a genius

Such a sad song . But sang to perfection
Me too. But I'm embracing it. My life sucks. Music kept me going. God bless everyone
Count your blessings, name them one by one.
Back in the day I was so in love with Glen Campbell. He touched my soul with his music. Rest in peace Glen.
How are you? So sorry for the infringe on your privacy. Beautiful song
He was my only crush too.
A while ago I was playing golf at Arizona Country Club. We had a foursome and there was this twosome waiting behind us. It was Glen Campbell and the local pro. Glen was a total gentleman.

Thank you, Glen Campbell, and Jimmy Webb, for this song and so many memorable songs from "back in the day"! Great memories for me of my mom and good times! Miss you, mom! 💞

This was.my mothers favorite singer, many years ago, ❤ I love this song too

I still remember driving into Hollywood, crying like a baby, when this song came out & I was about to LEAVE my 1st wife!!! 😢
Never tire of listening to his singing . Brings back memories of my youth . He sang so many good songs .
Grew up with this talent. Oh how he enriched so many lives!! Love you Glenn!! 👍👍❤️

Just unbelievable, one of the greatest talents and guitar player of all time. No doubt !!!
We certainly miss Glen Campbell n the beautiful music he made 😢❤
Thank you Glen Campbell for your musics . R.I.P. .
The most amazing man ever. His music touched my soul.
Absolutely!
2023 i am still listening...one of the best version....
Good music made by a talented musician. But not the most amazing ever. Jesus Christ already has that title.
😂😅😅😅😅. ❤
He was an amazing storyteller, and a legendary player! His music indeed touched a lot of souls, including mine.
Glen was the purest form of class in music.
I love this song. I’m gonna be gone before this video is over
Hang on. I feel the same. I’m 60 years old and I’m ready to give up. Please don’t let go. ❤
It’s March 30th, 2023. I’m still on my way to Galveston !!
Overdose on talent. One of a kind. Loved his music
I went to nursing school in Galveston in the early 70's. Every juke box in town had the song. Glen did a lot for Galveston with the song. It takes me back....to some of the most wonderful tines of my life. Young love, growing up, beginning to understand life.
How are you? So sorry for the infringe on your privacy. Beautiful song
Glenn campbell was a US TREASURE*HIS MUSIC IS SO REAL
Hey how are you doing today?
So many emotions when I listen to this Song and what memories thank you Glen .
no matter if you like rock, soul or rap, how can you not like Glen Campbell a hell've of singer, thanks for all the memories

Beautiful music!!!! Brings a tear to my eyes I remember all the girls I dated and wonder how I found the life of my life. 47 yrs
RIP Glen you'll ALWAYS be remembered
Still timeless and kind of takes me away
King of melancholy. Takes me back to my childhood hearing his songs on a car AM radio. Always remembered every lyric so I could sing it to myself.
It is past midnight and I have awaken to endless loneliness. I spend far too many nights listening endlessly to the classics of my youth.
"Galveston" brings back memories of when I first moved to Tallahassee. And immediately had to come back to Jacksonville twice, for draft physicals as the Viet Nam War raged. And how much my older brother was the wind beneath my wings as I attended Florida State University and worked in his music store and recording studio. Even with the bad times, those were the great times. Thank the Lord.
Takes me back to my youth…

Glenn was the gift to music and people , thank you .
Yes he was and you're very welcome, i'm glad you enjoyed.
What can I say he is the best in my book.
The years are rushing by in my declining years.
But I remember Glen Campbell's music and particularly By The Time I Get To Phoenix.
My late father always played it late at night after I left home to start my own life.

I still love this song Love Glen Campbell.
thank you You Tube for keeping our memories alive thru music
I would sit in the living room in the middle of the night when everybody's already asleep and listen to glen on the stereo... So relaxing and calm
I can totally relate to that. I used to do the same except for me it was Jim Croche.
Please forgive me for spelling his name wrong.
Doing that now .. nobody to touch him ❤️😊
RIP Glen Campbell....such a great performer🎸🎶🌟
Yet another Glen Campbell classic. Thanks so much, Glen.
God-given talent at its humbled best.
True talent! Did pretty good for a little boy from Arkansas
This man was genius
Beautiful! ❤️❤️❤️
