The lyrics are so deep and thought provoking, unlike the empty stuff being called music today. And the tune is so delicate and sweet- a perfect combination that I have loved since I first heard it in 1973.
Sorry to hear about your health condition. There may still be an altenative for you. I have a friend in her early 70s that is defying the odds, and reversing her ejection fraction. You may consider going to a Naturopath and asking about CoQ10, D-ribose, and Pqq, the studies associated with them, and how to use them compatibly with your meds. Hope this is helpful.
Sept 20, 1973 in a charter plane crash in Louisiana. All pilot error and very sad. Everyone on board was killed. No idea why but back then many musicians died in eerily similar crashes in Louisiana.@@ZenaidaGarcia-k8u
I think “you're the one I want to go through time with” is one of if not the most beautiful verse ever written by any songwriter or poet ever in all of history.
Jim struggled for years as a musicion, but when his songwriting skills clicked he caught everyones attention. He's left us with a wonderful, touching string of memorable hits.
My son was watching a mind numbing tic toc video while i was making spaghetti. I heard it over the sound of the spicy Italian sausage searing in the pan. It’s been in my head since. I was just enjoying a vodka cranberry and washing it down with a lucky strike when I decided to play this video. My eye's welled up accompanied by the inevitable knot in the throat thinking about my love for my wife. When I can afford it, I will buy this song.
He was such a gifted song writer and vocalist. His voice was so raw, yet so mesmerizing. And when I hear one of his ballads, no matter where I am or what I'm doing, I have to take pause, and listen.
Here in Brazil I enjoy a lot Jim Croce, I play several songs from him, until one day I was 15 years old and arriving from school VI on TV the report about the fall of his aviation was the worst end of the year I had the music was getting "Orphan" in 73.
I grew up listening to him with my father at 36 and my father passed and now that I listen to it reminds me of good times of my dad I'm 36 in jersey he is one of the greats love this man thank u for helping me remember memories with my father
the day my mum died i had 2 go tell my dad on the bus this was playing and i was sad hurt and angry that the rest of the world were just going about there normal day it made me cry
This morning, June 19, 2022, The Sunday Morning tv show on CBC introduced me to the songwriter Jim Croce and to his 50-year old son who is now recording his father's music. It's a beautiful story behind these love inspiring lyrics and a haunting melody. I've added the song to my ITunes. I also listened to Glen Campbell's recording on You Tube. If you need your soul uplifted, there is no better way than to know the story and hear the music . It's a gift to all of us.. With gratitude in my heart, I say thank you, thank you to all who made our knowing and listening possible.
Amazing voice and song.Ngayon ko lang narinig ito..When this song was composed in 1973 I was 3 years old.OMG habang pinapakinggan ko Ang kanta na ito..Parang nanumbalik un ala ala ko noon Bata pa ako.Ganito pala Ang mga klase Ng Kanto dekada 70's..Tagos puso un mga lyrics at un music 🎶🎵 kakaiba.😘
How could he never do this song live. he really thought it wasn't worthy? Excuse me mr Jim sir, I'm here to tell you it's one of the most beautiful songs I've ever listened to. My funeral is actually all planned out now. I think I need to change a song. This is so gorgeous. I don't think you understand Jim how talented you actually was. ❤❤❤
Listening on Valentine's Day 2022. One of the greatest love songs ever written. For those of us who live in San Diego, Jim Croce's legacy holds a special place.
@Cameron Biros - Another musical genius, Stevie Wonder, was in a near-fatal car accident in 1973. Imagine all the music we would have missed out on since then. His being active was far better than being a legend.
Thinking about J.Croce, such a great talent... his calming voice, beautiful love songs, peaceful eyes that could see through your soul...maybe sometimes God permits one of his angels to come down and spend a brief time among us to show what means simply being human!🫶🎶
Querido jim mi saludo al cielo , solo quiero decir que llenaste de amor mi juventud , era muy pobre , me demoré años en juntar el dinero para comprar tu long play, pero lo logré , lo compré a los 15 y ya tengo 65 , aun lo conservo intacto y se irá conmigo cuando la vida diga que ya no más aquí❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I read somewhere that before he died he had sent a letter to his wife saying he's considering quitting music for good. Unfortunately, the letter arrived a few days after his passing.
que lindo tema me encanta igual que esa hermosa pelicula la vi por primera vez cuando mi hija tenia 5años y ahora tiene 45 yo 65 imajinense y lsigo viendo y escuchando ese tema aunque me aga😢😢😢😢😢😊😙
This song is so beautiful. I always find myself crying with this song. Imagine he created this when he learned his wife was pregnant. And he died when his son is only 2 years old . :(
For the wife and I, after 52 years, this has always been "our" song.
Jim died in the same year this song was released, so sad he couldn’t enjoy it, he died in a plane crash. Rest in Piece. 🪦

Recuerdos de mi juventud. Ahora tengo 69 añitos y sigo toda esta música.

Yeah , unfortunately i heard about this very recently and couldn't stop listening
Without a doubt!!
Hear hear to Joaquin Solis. A truly wonderful song from a much missed artist.
The man died 14 years before I was born and I’m still angry about it
The lyrics are so deep and thought provoking, unlike the empty stuff being called music today. And the tune is so delicate and sweet- a perfect combination that I have loved since I first heard it in 1973.
Im dying off heart failure. Im 48 years old. Just sitting here next to my boyfriend who is sleeping listening to this and having a good cry

I honestly just cried a tear. Wow. No more words
@@eurekayesshopefully it works.
@@benstandard My friend with CHF is still doing rather well.
Hope you’re still around !
Such a devastatingly short career and life. Time In A Bottle remains, to this day, one of the most beautiful songs ever written and recorded.
How he died?

This has to be the most underappreciated song of all time
50 years ago we lost one of the greatest !
His voice is simply incomparable
I know, tears flowing now, just beautiful
truly angelic...brings me to tears so easily
Not to mention the guitar instrumental behind the vocals could be a beautiful stand alone classical guitar song too.
Fifty Years Ago...Half a Century...So many are gone...So many memories....If I could find that bottle...**sigh**....
Just learned it was 50 years ago today, 9/20/1973 the late great Jim Croce died. 50 years later his greatness is even more pronounced. RIP Jim.
😢 R.I.P. .. ❤amen and thank you 🙏 for your music 🎶..
Superbe ! Je viens juste de découvrir ce chef d œuvre. ❤❤❤
I think “you're the one I want to go through time with” is one of if not the most beautiful verse ever written by any songwriter or poet ever in all of history.
After all these years, he is so missed. Why are all the good people taken so soon? Lost my Mom last week. I desperately miss her.
❤️
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Stay Strong Champ! The reason they are taken so soon is because God Loves them.
Be stronger
I am sorry Pam.I lost my father in November. My parents were married 71 years.
I've always loved this song. As I've gotten older, and lost loved ones, it has more and more meaning....
Amen

Rest in peace Jim. You're voice and your soul is still alive in all of your songs.
Hard pressed to find two guys who could fill up your senses more than jim and maury.
Unbelievable beautiful song I'm so happy I found it. Thank you Jim Croce. Magnificent eternal beauty you have created.
One of the greatest American songs ever.
He sings with such a calm relaxing voice. ❤
Extraordinary. Ethereal. Beautiful. Haunting. Sad that this man was lost to his loved ones and public much too soon.
Incredible Song. When I miss my mother; I play this song...
Years since I’ve first heard this song and man does it still resonate with me. Just gets better over time.
The best song till this date...... What a singer man, RIP JIM
This came out when I was a kid and it seemed just like another song, now it's heartbreaking.
He was such a gifted song writer and vocalist. His voice was so raw, yet so mesmerizing. And when I hear one of his ballads, no matter where I am or what I'm doing, I have to take pause, and listen.
Exactly. And what a talent cut short way to soon!
I sure miss my dad.
Here in Brazil I enjoy a lot Jim Croce, I play several songs from him, until one day I was 15 years old and arriving from school VI on TV the report about the fall of his aviation was the worst end of the year I had the music was getting "Orphan" in 73.
This was sent to me by my first love from the early 80’s, just b4 he died in 2019.
😢
Oh, I love this song. 😢
One of my Dad's alltime favorite songs, I love it as well..
Thank you for this wonderful song and emotions you left us. Rest in peace..
Songs such this are severely lacking in 2021/22, bring back the 60s and 70s !
Definitely. The 80s had variety too. But downhill after that, esp. the 2000s!
I concur 👍
Beautiful voice and beautiful lyrics , so precious time with those we love 💕
Timeless...beautiful.
He made this literally right before he died.. life is short. God I love croce RIP
A wonderful song and performance from the late great Jim Croce.
New Years Day 2023.
This song is as meaningful as ever.
Jim Croce….a gift to the world.
A sad but beautiful song for the old days of us...Reminds me about "Quick Silver" 👏👍
Can't get any better than this song. I wish maybe someday my daughter danielle will hear this song. I love her❤
I grew up listening to him with my father at 36 and my father passed and now that I listen to it reminds me of good times of my dad I'm 36 in jersey he is one of the greats love this man thank u for helping me remember memories with my father
GOD i miss jim croce.. rest in peace
1973 ? to bad i couldn't be around at the time
i was born 1993 and i found this song by accident a few weeks ago
Its right up there,most beautiful song
When i found out this song was about his son it definitely changed the meaning and significance for me...
So, beautiful, rest in peace ❤
I can't listen to such a beautiful song without shedding a few tears.......
esp that he wrote this song for his son and died soon after
Amazing goosebumps, dry throat and wet eyes.
Listened then . At 70 I listen to this beautiful song & recall my beloved husband that crossed over recently..We enjoyed this song 😊😊
This song hits my heart beyond words 😢...he died too young, 💔 but what a legacy ❤
A forever favorite...
Nostalgie prachtig.!
Ich stimme zu.
the day my mum died i had 2 go tell my dad on the bus this was playing and i was sad hurt and angry that the rest of the world were just going about there normal day it made me cry
I was one of those kids that was into 'Dark Shadows', and this song had that harpsichord thing, and I loved it.
Lo más bellos recuerdos de mi adolescencia gran canción gran intérprete.

Or, it was never recorded live. Either way, a very worthy song.
He died in a plane crash shortly after this was recorded.😢
Yes @sammy5674 likewise

Quel triste destin, c'était une perle de la chanson !

San Diego's a great place, was there in 2013!!!!!
I was stationed in Louisiana in 1973 when his plane crashed there. Such a loss, he was just beginning.
Yes, imagine all the good songs we missed. 🤨 Stevie Wonder survived an accident around the same time. We know all the music he wrote after that.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JIM CROCE!
Epic
This was not posted on his birthday...
i haven't her that song in a long time still love it
Died way to young sadly, imagine if he had lived to a ripe old ago with decades of producing music
He definitely died too young but sometimes the legend is better.
@Cameron Biros - Another musical genius, Stevie Wonder, was in a near-fatal car accident in 1973. Imagine all the music we would have missed out on since then. His being active was far better than being a legend.
Tupac died 25 years ago at his peak he was just getting started and that man is a certified legend!
Ducking beautiful. You can see something in his eyes. He’s in love with his work
Still tears... (john, Holland)
Wish I could save time in a bottle...❤
Like so many songs--"Cat's Crade", "Puff the Magic Dragon", "Sounds of Silence", "Morningtown Ride", all songs speaking to lost time...
Thinking about J.Croce, such a great talent... his calming voice, beautiful love songs, peaceful eyes that could see through your soul...maybe sometimes God permits one of his angels to come down and spend a brief time among us to show what means simply being human!🫶🎶
Makes my cry a classic 4ever
At first, I heard this song in X-Men & I love listening it.. After hearing it I searched for it and found it.... Rip jim croce
Amazing. He had recorded it, but hadn't deemed it important enough to sing at his live concerts.
Correction: He sang it live but in the concerts he did it was never recorded.
This song was featured in the ending credits of "She Lives," which aired just 8 days before his death.
Man.. I would’ve loved to see him sing it live
@@eurekayess Is is available online for watch? Was it a tv series?
@@brandonreed3543 I agree!
Inesquecível essa voz, pura doçura para meus ouvidos
Tune!...He died on me and Sue's honeymoon.........Thanks for the memories...
Querido jim mi saludo al cielo , solo quiero decir que llenaste de amor mi juventud , era muy pobre , me demoré años en juntar el dinero para comprar tu long play, pero lo logré , lo compré a los 15 y ya tengo 65 , aun lo conservo intacto y se irá conmigo cuando la vida diga que ya no más aquí❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yo tenía 14 años.
I really love this song is so beautiful. Thank you.
I read somewhere that before he died he had sent a letter to his wife saying he's considering quitting music for good. Unfortunately, the letter arrived a few days after his passing.
Yes, I heard that he wanted to go behind the movie camera. That would have been a shame for his fans.
HEAVENLY
I'm sure this has been said before but you can save thyme in a bottle. This song is so amazing. Reminds me of my dad and my son
This is the song my friend wanted me to play and sing at her wedding so many decades ago now.

I'm 64 too. Was 14 when it was released, though. November 1973.
Merci / Thank you !
All thanks to Jim Croce!
