Finally I am discovering the secret of life by actually enjoying the passage of time. I previously made a career out of feeling sorry for myself. I am learning to take control of my life and strive to enjoy it in spite of medical issues. Peace to all you TH-camrs out there!
So Poetic. I found this song by watching The Orville, where one of the characters sang this song, made me search for the original... and definitely not disappointed.
That's something that attracted my attention to this song - I try to be patient. Accepting the fact that we're all tied up with incongruity all-round. I heard it through Orville as well. I've actually got the sheet music for it.
this angelic man and his blessed song saved my life so many times in the 80's and early 90's. life was tough but i kept playing my JT album and this was and is my favorite song. my children and i saw him in concert with carole king at the oakland coliseum not so many years ago. it was like going to choir practice. all 18 thousand of us knew every word of every song, when to pause, when to speed up, it was so spiritual. thanks for my life, james.
The Great one . The finest singer of his time and even today James is a true legend . Beautiful in every way his music is timeless . No one can take his place in history. Saw him once and I loved every moment. Great music . Thank you for posting these videos there amazing!!!!

I heard this song for the first time today at the end of The Orville S03E10. I have enjoyed it very much. Thank you.
One of my favorite JT songs. Criminal that they didn't show his hands playing though. He made complex acoustic guitar playing look smooth and effortless.
Not complex at all, very simple, but a GENIUS arrangement,,definitely not complex...the Genius of James taylor is taking the very simple and arranging it in a way that is incredible....simple, but Genius, incredible
I'm reminded of the words of Sir Patrick Stewart in Star Trek Generations. That Time is just a companion to remind us to cherish the times before. For these will never come again!
James, - lovely rendition of a WONDERFUL song. Lordy, I love this.... such - truth and authenticity. I love the later versions too, but this one is still wonderful. It seems sometimes as if there is an "apologetic" attitude in play -WHY? it is real and authentic. Reach out if you haven't grasped it yet - because you can -
James wrote a special song worthy of a live audience. Perhaps Carly could have given her vocals a try with him in a duet. Two unique singer/ songwriters who have amazing gifts. Back in the day, Dick Cavett only interviewed or showcased the best.
We were a gentle generation. 😢 The present generation could learn much from us. This was played at the end of the first episode of Third Rock From The Sun.
To be signed by the Beatles has to be very significant in writing and songs sung. Jt is up there with them all. Him and Gordon are my favorites besides csn.
Holi! Um ya dewd that! You do that really well! Do tgat again! Nice oneJames Taylor whew ladies& gentleman easily thebest ever JAMES TAYLOR CANNOT ever say enuf good about James Taylor spectacularly gifted& talented. Wow.
Great song, for sure - sure would've appreciated the cameraman showing what James was actually playing on the guitar, for us fellow pickers...sheesh...

Not too many singers sound this great just on a set like this... no back ups, no voice modulators, just a guy & his guitar!!!
Couldnt agree with you more
He makes me stay aground and fly high all with no drugs.
I saw him once at Pine Knob in Michigan. There is no one who can surpass him in how he moves the soul.
Me too, maybe I there at the same time. He was mesmerizing.

bless u.....me too
I'm trying to figure it out my self.
im still in that career lollllll
Praying for you.
❤I play this to my recently departed keyboard player who did such a lovely job on this tune and like me, loved James so much.
James Taylor always sings to my soul, Timeless wisdom & comfort. This acoustic version is beautiful, I wish they had shown his hands playing.
I picked it out, it ain't easy!

My lord; the song, the guitar play and his voice - perfect unison!
My favorite JT song of his entire catalogue, and likely his simplest, but it means everything to me. 🗝♥️
JT is a gift.
James Taylor ! Still sweet, beautiful, forever !
Best raw version I have heard.
My wedding song ❤️
James will always be such a powerful influence in my life! His music is so timeless
Same! I’m 33... dad always been a huge fan and was so blessed to see JT live several times. 💗💗💗💗 amazing ☝️💗
Love James!!!
The secret of life is enjoying the passage of time. A great opening line for a song and gentle sage advice as well.😊❤

The voice-leading in his guitar accompaniment is simply sublime --- a true musical master. :)

We are blessed to live in this musical era...
I have listened to JT for a very long time and this song is in my opinion one of his greatest. Nice version thank you.
Thanks James Taylor, in my old age, still younger than you, I tend to agree with just about everything you say. Waving in gratitude from Cape Town.
No truer words: "The secret of life is enjoying the passage of time". So much harder to do than one thinks.

onefoot7 It's not that simple, it's not like it's a three chord song. Most campfire singers couldn't play that
Just found this song! its so beautiful!
Welcome to the beautiful music of James Taylor! 💞🎶
I'm so proud to share a birthday with this man.
I'm reminded of the words of Sir Patrick Stewart in Star Trek Generations. That Time is just a companion to remind us to cherish the times before. For these will never come again!
Both this and his SNL version of Sweet Baby James are proof of the power of a simple guitar and a voice.
everyone knows love is the only road.
Till our few atoms blow to dust, or form again in wiser lives.....amazing James Taylor...welcome to the human race
Going to see him next week....soooo excited. I love this song and had never seen this version/recording.
He seems to have such a gentle soul.
This was a sublime moment
My other no. 1 favorite is "Goin' to Carolina in my mind" !
Born with the sensitivity it takes to become this sweet and wise!
James, - lovely rendition of a WONDERFUL song. Lordy, I love this.... such - truth and authenticity. I love the later versions too, but this one is still wonderful.

J T never disappoints! One man band!
God I miss the Dick Cavett Show and Dick Cavett and intelligent, lengthy conversations.

What the Fuck was that! BRILLIANT! On many many levels.........I'm Ver-Klempt
Exquisite! Thanks for posting!
I LOVE YOU JT
My favorite JT song. I didn't actually realize this song was so old. Tempus sure fugit, don't it?
To be signed by the Beatles has to be very significant in writing and songs sung. Jt is up there with them all. Him and Gordon are my favorites besides csn.
One of a kind .....
Back when James Taylor had hair. Love this song.
He my hero
I love you!

Grande leçon de vie . . . ;)
We lived at the same time James Taylor was here.
Great song, for sure - sure would've appreciated the cameraman showing what James was actually playing on the guitar, for us fellow pickers...sheesh...
Camera people are not musicians, damn it!!
Luvvit!
Still had hair before his male pattern baldness started, loved that song as a teenager back in the 70s.
@Hillary Thanks, Cap’n Obvious, for clearing that up!…
@@jeffkaufman9875 You're welcome, glad to be of service. 🙋
