I am at the end of my life now..Wow, what a ride. This song just reminds me of how much time has passed and how quickly it goes. If you are young, Im not preaching and your life is yours to live as you choose, but trust me--The days are long but the years are short.
May your days be easy. May you always have a smile on your face
Yes I wish that too. 🩵🦋🙏🩷
Well said!
Big respect 💯
These days are long but the years are short. Yup
My Dad passed away from a heart attack two weeks ago right in front of me. He was 53 years old. I will forever cherish the moments I had with him and I’m so grateful for him showing me the greatest music. Love you pop
My sympathies!
I'm very sorry. My heart goes out to you.
@@shylocie595 this notification made my night. I appreciate you
I'm really sorry for your loss. David.
You were with him when he passed, I'm sure that brought him comfort knowing his son was with him to the end....
MY DEAR HUSBAND PASSED AWAY 11YRS AGO, MISS HIM QUITE ALOT❤❤❤
Whos listening to this absolute classic in 2024
😊
Feb 22😊
Feb 23, 2024
Feb 26th 2024 but first time hearing this. I like.
i am. My friend died a few days ago and this song came to mind!
Does this song make anyone else burst into tears no matter what they’re doing at the time if it comes on the radio? Or is that just me?
Just happened to me earlier. Brought some stuff out I've been bottling for a while. It doesn't help that it's been a while since I've heard it.
Me- over an ex.
I have bursted out in tears for a nothing my whole life.
yes, me. I play it when i hear someone that i know, has died.
James wrote this as memoir to his friend who had committed suicide. So yes it does make me cry every once in a while.
“Won’t you look down upon me, Jesus, ya gotta help me make a stand, can’t make it any other way”
67 yrs old, still listening to all the folk-rock classics, grew up to this tune playing pool for hours, thank you James taylor
Beautiful, beautiful song. Wonderful voice.
My brother/roommate was killed over two decades ago. I wanted to play this at his funeral, but wasn't allowed. It makes me think of him. I hope he made it to heaven. He'd been in two wrecks, and he was never the same after the second. He had a heart of gold. He really was so fun to hang around. I know...people always talk great about the dead, but he was my roommate for a reason. He had a natural wit. Off the top of his head he would say or sing things that made horrible situations laughable. I miss you, Jamie
This was the soundtrack of my youth. Those were the sunny times that I thought would never end. Life has gone by and I’m 65 now. Hearing this brings back not just memories but a lifetime.
Me there too. I'm also 65, It was a great time to be 14 when it debuted. It's my son's and my song. I send it to him every now and then.
And a lifetime so much better than kids today will ever have.
I'm right there with you Big Rich. This was released just before I entered High School. Those were great and unforgettable days.
@@magic5596 Well said, I often wish my kids could have experienced these awesome years.
I too am 65 and a preacher. I just wrote a sermon on hope from Jeremiah’s Lamentations. Seems to go well with this song.
James Taylor is the only person who can make a grown man cry
i hate to say it but its true!!!!
I'm the same mate he brings out the emotional side of me 👍
This song would make Thanos burst into tears.
Duane Allman and Dickey Betts could do the same thing with their guitars locking together.
You sure don't know my fiancée
This song is one I love so much. I can play over and over.
My life has been up and down with heroin and opiate addiction. This disease took my only brother at 43. I was 39 and only 90 days from coming home after serving 11 years and 8 months in prison for addiction to prescription drugs. He was found in motel room. I eventually relapsed after 7-1\2 years of being clean. My first cousin committed suicide and my old beautiful ex girlfriend was found overdosed few years ago.
I’m holding my head and trying to take it one day at a time.
Feels good to just talk about all this. I’m 55 today
Brother keep pushing. Eventually you'll get to where u wanna be. Addiction is so hard but it can get easier with time. ❤ peace be with u
One day at a time my friend. It’s the only way. I never thought I’d get sober from alcohol and one day at a time will be 4 years on 6-14-2024.
I'm so sorry. My son died of a overdose cocaine and fentanyl. He lost so many friends before and after him, as early as 3 weeks ago. I'm hoping at this stage of your life, your my age, and find peace. I wish you the best.
To all those who feels this song as comfort.. memories fill your heart. Blessings.
🤝
May God Bless You
To you as well.
Thank you from the heart!
It means a lot to a lonely soul!
May God bless and keep you!
✌️💛🤘
Its not meant to be about comfort. Have you listened to it at all?
My dad passed yesterday... We only had a few days to say our goodbyes I'm glad we were able to. It was an unexpected loss. What a great man and father he was. My heart has a giant hole. This song was the first song a one-man band played tonight in the restaurant that my husband took me to to get me out of my funk ❤
So sorry for your loss. May the lord bring you peace and comfort. Blessings 😇
My uncle just passed away yesterday (Grandpa Seth in Troll 2). For 10 years after his sister died he withdrew and did not contact any of us. I sent him Christmas cards; he never replied. We learned a couple weeks ago he was getting evicted from long-term care but all our efforts to locate him (the facility name we were given did not exist) failed. Notice of his death did reach my mother and his former roommate's niece.
Yup it's been this kind of day
My husband just died 2 weeks ago, still can't believe he's gone
My mom died a little over a week ago and this used to be her go-to song when times were rough in her life. Listening to this in memory of my beautiful inside and out mom Bonnie.
My Condolences 🙏

@@paulaperrelli7356 Thank you for your kind words, Paula. I still think about and miss her deeply every single day. It's only been 3 months 5 days, but I imagine I'll be feeling this way for a long time, and especially after reading your comment -- lately I've been leaning heavily on the advice and conversation of others who have also lost their moms, so thank you for commenting. My sincere condolences on the loss of your own mom and my prayers and good wishes are with you, as well
Sorry for your loss..😥
I'm so sorry for your loss
Sitting in my basement in the dark getting ready to lay my Dad to rest. Thanks for introducing me to good country music Dad. You are a legend.
Sending Love🙏
The power of real music is evident from all the comments below.
My Mom passed away yesterday morning and my Dad would sing this song with his guitar when I was a kid. This song has put me at ease and I would randomly cry of course. I miss you so much Mommy.
My deepest condolences, she may be gone but not forgotten. Be strong my sister…
Love to you, dear. Losing your Mom never fully heals. I hope you can find peace and live happy when you are able. She will be proud. ❤️🫂
Lost my Mom 5 years ago. It eases. It never heals fully. 😢
I'm sorry for your loss 🙏
I hope you're a coming along well. You and your family!💌
You'll be ok, I promise this
My sister Sue left all her albums in our house when she moved out. I was 5 or 6. I discovered this album and song and listened to it so many times I still remember every lyric 50 years later. Thank you Sue. You have no idea how many gifts you have given me that have lasted a lifetime, and not the gifts that costed money, just being there as role model. I love you so much and always. Admiringly, Your little sis Deb
Beautiful
So wholesome
I first heard this song in 2003 while working at garden street iron and metal, and it made me feel like wow I feel like that sometimes and I never knew how to put it in words. I love this song, thanks Dave Niemiester aka the can man for turning me on to this good music.
Precious memory
You should definitely watch this movie about '70s music, Almost Famous.
I lost my mother when I was twelve and it’s been fifty years now. What keeps me going is knowing I will see her again ,so I go day by day in my life too show her & my father I can do this and make them proud. This month on the 13th of November I lost her ,she had a heart attack at 49 and I found her. Love you always mom….❤❤❤ forever
Happy early birthday!!!🎉 from all of your 9 kids
I'm so sorry. May you be encouraged.
Rip to your loving mother and god bless and take care
So sad to hear about you mom I lost mine as well as a teen so I understand wow 12 must had to be so hard I'm waiting to see my mom again as well its 44 years might see each other up there
Powerful beautiful poetic
Reading through the comments helps me feels less alone in my grief.
"I've seen lonely times where I could not find a friend, but I always thought I'd see you again"
For 20 years my horse was that friend and he unexpectedly passed yesterday morning. 💔 this song helps me grieve.
I am sorry for your loss. I'm sorry to hear that your friend crossed the rainbow bridge. 🐎🦄🌈🌉 🙏
There special sent they my friend ❤️👍
To the people lost and lonely in the fortress of your mind
This thread has given me reassurance that there are more caring, loving people in this world than I ever realised
God bless you all
I agree, and please never doubt that there will always be good people in this world. Mankind would have been long gone by now if that hadn't always been the case.
Thank you for saying this. My soul has been so lonely. Felt I couldn't take another day. I've lost the ones that left the earth from that feeling. We have something in common this song. And survival
Yes, EmLou1976; and continue to seek them. They nourish our spirits.
Won't you look down upon me, Jesus?
You've got to help me make a stand
You've just got to see me through another day
My body's aching and my time is at hand
And I won't make it any other way
So often lately, that is my prayer up to God. Old house, old car, worrying about my beloved diabetic cat.
For my friend Susan.
Everytime I hear this song I think of you Leah.
So full of life. Your
1000 watt smile.
So sad you left us way too soon. You were both an Angel and a sinner.
Then again, who isn't.
Undeniably one of the greatest songs ever written.
yeah right,
I did a search for best songs saying goodbye. This was #1.
Just reading the words and listening to him sing and look at the album cover shows his sadness. I pour mine into my jjournal. This song is sad but comforting.
Truly.
This song reminds me of my late mother driving me to school on a rainy day in 1970. I was 6 back then. I loved this song, but hated going to a school that I couldn’t stand being at. I’ve been a James Taylor fan since I first heard his music in 1968 or 1969. My mother & father both loved his music, too. I’ve seen James live in 1994 with my ex-wife. We enjoyed his performance. He treats his fans like he’s performing for them in his own place. The man is still an amazing singer/ songwriter/ guitarist! I still listen to his music to this very day. I never get tired of listening to his music (but then again..,. Who does?).
This musician plays Tanglewood every year and donates all $$ back to Tanglewood. A true musician. The best songwriter ever.
I am 72 years old. I also have seen "Fire and Rain"…
This is a classic 🗿🦾🌈BOBSTAR
I think of my late brother every day and this song speaks to and for me.
I love you mom. Rest easy beautiful soul 💔
😇🙏
I remember this song and it brings back memories of a girl I was seeing back then. We parted ways on a friendly note, but hearing this song, brings back memories of some good clean simple times.
One of the best songs ever.
One of the greatest songs ever written!♥️
This is one of the greatest misunderstood songs ever written. James Taylor proves that it is better to be lucky than good. Everyone misunderstands the song to be all about the loss of a love, the emotional toll of the loss, and the recollections of conversations and an airplane crash. The song is actually a pity party for James Taylor. It's about the suicide of his girlfriend, his drug addiction and rehab, and the failure of his new band "Flying Machines". The song is not deep, but incredibly shallow.
Yea❤
Amen ❤
I'm dying alone 😢 please send prayers
Yes Some of the greatest lyrics ever. I wonder, does it matter what the lyrics really mean (to James) OR how listeners perceive the words and how they affect them.
This is what good music is all about, nothing extra, no autotune, just perfect.
With you.
I'm sad today an fire an rain keep playing in my mind, I'm having fire an rain an holding it close, old memories an new pains.its
Comforting,.my time is at hand... missing Soo many GOOD DAYS..🤗
Sorry for you. My mom went to the other world in 2021. I hope she's well... 🙄😘😭
@@francescaciucci1193 My condolences. 😢
If Cher didn’t create autotune in 1999, we’d all be listening to this good stuff on the radio still. And not just us, all other people would listen to.
GOD BLESS YOU ❤JAMES ❤
GOD' BLESS YOU JAMES TAYLOR. THIS SONG IS GREAT FOR ANYONE WHOS HAD PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITALIZATIONS. I HAD TWO BREAKDOWNS, IN 1989 AND IN 1991from overwork at a stressful Job in Broadcasting. This song speaks to my experiences PERFECTLY
My mother’s favorite song of all time. I miss her so much! Thank you James Taylor!
Sorry for your loss 😔🙏🏽
Maaaan my parents introduced me to this when I was a young boy and it’s always stuck. Haven’t lost either of them yet, but it’s on the horizon. Soon enough we’ll be in the same boat. Cheers friend
Was my mom’s favorite also. I lost her june 12th of last year. This song never fails to put a smile on my face every time
She’ll always be there
Your mama's still with you my friend. Always keep her in your mind.👍
Just lost my brother he was my day 1 and someone put this in a slideshow and it literally made me ball my eyes out. R.i.p. ill see you on the other side til than fly high and be at the peace you deserve. Justice will be served your with the lord now. Hope your having a good time seeing all the ones we lost on the journey. I wanna believe my journey is still young and i got another 30+ years to go so it may be a while i got it from here relax up there and watxh your kids become everything you ever wanted
My best friend and brother in all but name passed away yesterday at the age of 67. This song expresses how I feel perfectly.
I miss you daddy. Its been so long now, 16 years but this song still makes me sob. Thanks for always singing to us, and showing us good music.
Lost my uncle and best friend to cancer 7 years ago. Today would have been his 49th birthday. I played this at his celebration of life. It will forever be his song.....
This song describes my life, I'm 63 now and I've seen fire and rain in these 63 years God only knows how much I've been through
Bless you steve x🙏🏻
Me too, I’m 60…
My ex died from covid and though he was my ex, he was still my friend. He live about 75 away and I didn’t know he was sick until they called my son to tell him that my ex was in the hospital. Two days later he died. I always thought that I’d see him again. It’s broken my heart..
@@vanessakeck5148 I'm so sorry to hear about that. Ex or not, we have all known people who live in our hearts and memories. And it is never easy to think of them being gone. Best wishes to you. Keep alive the sweet memory of when you and your Ex were one.
@@davelee8961 how very sweet and kind. Thank you.
God be with you during your time of sadness…you will be reunited with him when the Lord returns to this earth…🙏🏻
timeless song!♥️☮️✌🏻
My 14 month old grandson died Thanksgiving night/ Friday morning. A few days later I burst into tears just hearing the first verse of this song. 8 months later it still make me tear up
May he rest in peace. I'm sorry for your loss
I'm so sorry. I'm so very sorry for your loss and your pain.
@@georgiabrown9458 is this the Georgia that used to live in Pennsylvania?
It will for years man... I'm sorry and my condolences.
Sorry for your loss. No more suffering. Your grandson is at peace. 🙏❤
I just found this song, but already love it. My dad committed suicide about a month ago, I'm definitely going to remember ever moment I had with him and cherish them, he left to soon, I'm only 17, he was 55
So sorry for your loss 😓❤but glad I found someone the same age as me who shares my love for this song.
I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my mom when I was 22, she was 49. She died from cancer but she was depressed and struggled from alcohol abuse; it was like I lost her twice. Please continue to reach out, seek support and allow people, and know that you are not alone. This time of year can be extra difficult for the loss of a loved one. My mom passed in October so I had to endure all the first holidays within a short period of time. My grief counselor at Hospice really helped me get through that time and I am ever grateful for finding her. Sending you hugs, strength and whatever you need at this time. ❤
@@jenniferjuniper8075 similar situation to mine, this last 2 years was bad for my dad, he drank but never had an issue with drinking until these past 2 years, he started struggling really bad, constantly in his chair so drunk he couldn't move, he tried quitting multiple times each time he tried was a longer period of time he went without alcohol, but one time when he was detoxing it was really bad and he hallucinated and had to go to the hospital, something was pushing him to the edge, and I wish I had asked him what was going on, like I would ask how he was doing and stuff, but I should have sat down and had a Convo with him about it. I miss him everyday, thank you for your words ♥️
Sorry for your loss! I'm the same age as your dad. I have a 9 year old. Doesn't make life easy and then again it does. Cherish those memories.
TK Steampunk i don't know you but i love you hang in there you'll see him again
I apologise, these songs have always comforted me at difficult times
Layed in bed holding my grandfather’s hand all day. Though he couldn’t talk I know he could hear me cuz he would squeeze my hand lightly and smirk. He passed yesterday at 5 pm and I’ll miss him forever
I’ve cried to this song so many times.
Well worth it, sorrow and joy...🌻
Me, too. The odd thing is that the song just came to him one day.. He really answered a need, though..
Same here; it's just right when you're feeling down. Terrific song!!
I’m crying listening to it right now 😢
Me too
One of the best songs ever written.
Certified gold
One word classic ❤
Many times I've had to say "won't you look down upon me, Jesus. You gotta help me make a stand - you just gotta see me through another day..." I always think of this song - about struggle, yes, but about finding strength and carrying on. Never give up.
I pray you truly know Jesus, and have accepted Him in your heart as your Lord and Savior! You know the Word says if we believe with our hearts that God raised Jesus from the dead, and confess with our mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord, we shall be saved! God bless you!
My only child passed away 26 days ago, he was 37 years old. Can't tell you the depth of my missing him. Your comment gave me some comfort. For that, I thank you.❤
I feel the same and I'm Jewish.
# James roets
@@joantierney8532I'm so sorry for your pain I lost my only child in 2007 he was 19 He was my ❤. It's not a day that goes by that he doesn't cross my mind every hour. 16 years I still remember every little detail. The pain does not go away I turned towards God to ease my pain. May God bless you and give you peace.Wanda
Beautiful song.brings back so many beautiful memories
Thank you James Taylor and I love you and Carly Simon!
Mom passed away last year in the mental hospital. Was planning to she her this summer. God had other plans and the last time I saw her was 11 years ago when I had to leave to find my authentic self. Miss you mom. 😢
I'm so sorry. I just lost my dad too. We had a strained relationship until about 5 yrs ago when he helped me get off opiates, then we talked or saw each other almost every day and then he died Sept 20th, the day after my birthday. He had pancreatic cancer and this was the original pick of songs to dance with him to at my wedding this past April but my son played Landslide instead so we wouldn't all breakdown but this... This was my song to my dad. I hope to dance with him again one day. Sending you healing energy, love and light and prayers for your momma ❤️🩹🙏🤗
I have been listening to this song since I was a teen, but never once probed the meaning of its lyrics and depth of emotions - until now. After mourning loss after loss recently, I thank timeless music like this. Its lyrics reverberates in my mind and empathizes with my pain. It helps me ‘make another day’. Thank you, James Taylor !
Ditto. Breathe deep. It is unbelievably painful, isn't it? Peace
😔🫂🕊🌤🌈
@@bethramsey1758
Your response is so perfect (for my style).
Even worse when the person you love isnt passed, but locked in a cage, didnt believe the punishment for having little drugs on her would take my fiance and now its been 4 years another 20 to wait. 🤦♂️😥
@@atreyu3573 that's horrible! The Judiciary System sentences child abusers and baby murderers to less time than that! The D.A. tried to sentence my son to 25 years for being a repeat offender of possession of paraphernalia, heroin residue in a coke can, and a piece of cotton. The Judge told the D.A. ABSOLUTELY NOT! This young man will become even more addicted in prison! He needs long term rehab not prison!
I love this song it gives me strength
This was so good, back in the day..emo❤
Just one of the finest songs ever written. Nothing more to be said.
Agreed. There is something so soothing about it
Am always glad to receive positive comments from my lovely fans 🤍🖤 it's absolutely my pleasure bringing sweet melody to you. May God bless you awesomely 🙏
I hope you have fun listening to this music 🎧❣️. Have you been to any of my concert?
Only one James. Glad he is in my lifetime ❤
How do you listen to this & not tear up? I can't do it
BEAUTIFUL SONG
I Was at the Cape when Challenger Blew up. This song was on my mind, r,i,p.
My husband and world died Wednesday. And I dont know how to survive without him. I dont want to. I just want him back! I just want him back!
Reach out to someone call a therapist if need be one never gets over it but the pain can change and the edge can come off it...
So long as you are good,he is good! Reset those buttons of life and keep it moving! Fake it until you make it! Peace and care,you are not alone my friend!
Its been a yr. I hope your hangin in there!! Its a sad song yes. But it gets better I promise
Im sorry
This song was played in 1969. Same yr I was born. Luv this song.
I still can’t believe my friend is gone.
My name is Suzanne... but regardless this song is absolutely one of the best
One of the best songwriters , with perfect soft voice pitch, and a whole shit load of HEART ❤️.
I have heard this song my entire life. And it just came on again... I recently lost a very dear friend. Now I get it.... now I actually HEAR the song.
Love you James! God Bless You!
Antidote..!! For the broken soul..💯🎯✌️
As a teen I once stranded myself in the Colorado mountains. My uncle drove 7 hours both ways through winding mountain roads to pick me up. He scolded me for getting myself in that position but also talked a lot about his life and how you should live. He asked me if I knew who James Taylor was and put on this song. He passed away a few years ago and I now this song is just that much more heartbreaking. We all miss you Niel 💛
We used to sit & listen to this together when we were newlyweds.
Now she's gone, I understand the words ...
flying machines and pieces laying on the ground, that hits home.....
For a long time I have listened to this song. But neverI have heard the lyrics and understand the words.😢 How my I miss my parents.😢❤
JT wrote this when he was a patient on a mental ward, he'd made a friend there, who died. If you've ever found yourself under such circumstances, the song really resonates.
You should look deeper into its story, it's truly incredible and the lyrics will make alot more sense, "sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces in the ground"
@@ColeFiteMusic James Taylor was in a band called The Flying Machine
OK
First verse is about hearing about his friend Susanne who had died. Next verse is about his heroine addiction. Last verse is about his band he formed while in a mental institution.
Is that true?
My sister, beloved Charlotte, would have been 68 years old today. She ended her life~suddenly in 1977. These lyrics run right through me; and, I miss her SO MUCH...still.
God bless you and support you in your sorrow.
@@daceliepins9108 Your sentiments mean more, to me, than I can deeply express~Thank you.
I'm so sorry for your loss. My beloved brother past away 2 weeks ago, I hadn't seen him for 20 years, but I always held out hope I would see him at least one more time again before Heaven.But I never did.
@@CocoBabe777 See Blessigs on your heart. He looks over you now~and, God ensures you WILL HAPPILY SEE HIM AGAIN.
May the good Lord help you with your struggles. He will always support you, and He will always get you through hard times. May God bless you.
To my sweet Peaches...after 42 years of bliss you ascended a year and a half ago...never gotten easier.
Who doesn't love this man ❤
Crazy how many people this man's music has pulled through hard times, me being one of those people. Legend
For sure!
Amen especially for me 😊
DITTO ! ❤❤❤🎉
And I'm one of those people 😢
😊
Damn looks like a lot of people lost friends or family who loved this song.
I was not ready for this
My best friend of 35 years died. Here I am, with this song.
A friend of mine from high-school passed away recently. A perfect example of "only the good die young." We knew he was ill, but we never imagined his death would be before he turned 41. He posted to Facebook every friday, just to update us all and let us know someone cared.
This is one of the greatest songs ever written.
J.T.'s signature song, the one engraved in gold.
It achingly tells of the struggles we put on ourselves, the gift of friendship, and mostly love lost.
This is timeless.
It will be sung forever.
My beloved has passed. Suddenly alone. Thak you James
I'm 35 lost and alone ..this song helps make me humble and hopeful.
Just yesterday morning they let me know you were gone. Reminds me of the day in 1973 they let me know my dad was gone. I was 14.
This song is comforting today on Father’s Day. The pain is still there even at 64.
I remember when it was a hit. The words sounded like a typical singer songwriter's poetry: fire vs. rain, sunshine vs. darkness, etc. It's only recently I've learned that the song was definitely genuine in its lyrics -- inspired by the suicide of his close friend (verse 1) and his dealings with addiction (verse 2). Deep. The song is a masterpiece, actually. Great acoustic guitar playing. As for my discovering the meaning of the words.... I guess you learn something new every day. Tons of respect, props to Mr. Taylor.
was about his hirl freind ,, i know, ive had ,3 plane crashes,,
Did not know about that I think from the song at least that he lost his friend from airline accident
Susanne died of an overdose so verse 1 was about drugs too. Last year I lost my ex-fiancee to a heroin overdose. When she left me she got into doing heroin and the guy would shoot her up while she was still asleep. May she and Susanne rest in peace.
@@airheadrica1956 he said that the airplane part was from a headline he saw on a newspaper. I guess it was a bad day for James and a lot of other people.
I'm so very sorry to correct you, and don't want you to feel bad. I lived in James Dorm at UNC. We pitched in and bought his high school girlfriend because he missed her and couldn't smile very often. Her plane went down....no survival.
Songs by James Taylor. Fire and Rain . 🔥🌦️😎🎸💃
This is hitting home right now for me !!!
It's been three months since my wife, my dearest friend and companion for decades--most of my life---died after long fight with cancer. On the day she was buried, Christmas Eve, as I was driving home from the cemetery, this song came to me, clear as a bell. I hadn't been listening to it, not for a long while. Coincidentally (?) her father and I were on the phone, and he quoted the lyrics to me a few days later----no, not coincidence. That was from her. "Sweet dreams and fine machines in pieces on the ground".😿

James poured his heart out for all of us to share his sadness. It gives us a time in our life to understand our loss. Love to you and music is part of our self care.
Always reminds me of my beautiful funny mom
Flying machines... it references his band, FLYING MACHINES , that had failed and broken up. Just one more source of anguish in his life at that time. The sweet dreams referred to the plan Suzanne must have had for her future.
I’ve seen lonely times when I could not find a friend. But I always thought that I’d see you again.
Great Joyful memories ❤
A great singer
Oh Arielle, girl of my dreams since I was a child, I hope someday we'll meet again.. love you Arielle... I always thought I would see you again just one more time but I didn't.. see you in heaven Arielle..
