    Another one from the embarrassment of riches that was the music of the 70s. We didn’t know how good we had it back then!

    Oh my God there is nothing funnier and more fulfilling than seeing young (to me) people experience truly superior music. Not just because it's from my generation, but because this is timeless.

    1976-1977 northern Mexico,
    Teenage first love, block patty Didn't know much English, and fully what the song was about. Best slow dance of our lives. vinyl's, 45 rpm . Some people get to experience the song for the first time....

    Alan Parsons engineered. Parsons did the beatles white album.....and Pink Floyd's DSOTM. Alan Parsons is the bomb. He lives near Santa Barbara now......working his studio, Parsonics. If you like this song......listen to any of the Alan Parsons albums. From Tales of Mystery and Imagination to A Valid Path....and beyond. You'll see why this song is so well done. Kudos to Al Stewart for sure.

      We have seen Al live about a dozen times. We have met him on 3 occasions. He is a gentleman as well as a genius. Our favourite track is Modern Times, we asked him to consider playing it when we saw him in Bristol about 4 years ago, we saw him in Cardiff recently and he played it brilliantly, really made the night for us

    My first impression when I heard it in the 70s was "haunting." I imagined the mysterious woman in the song is a ghost (I was a teenager :) . He comes to recognize it but decides to stay anyway, even though he knows it's not real & that he'll have to leave some day. The real meaning could be miles away from my version but it's how I'll always remember this incredible song.

    Bring out your weed, lava lamp, and black light posters. Burn some strawberry incense. Grab your pet rock and mood rings. Put on your bell bottoms. We're taking a tour of the 70's. A magical decade that is sadly now history. This song is one of my absolute favorite songs, and artists. Check out Time Passages, On The Border, You're On My Mind Like A Song On The Radio. All by Al Stewart.

    What all the generations since don't understand is, we smoked a bowl, turned off the lights, poured a glass of wine, opened a beer etc, , put on our headphones in a dark room only lit by the stereo dial and the turn table light and heard it all, 100%. The 70’s we're amazing in so many different ways, and there was NEVER the need to go faster, in anything. Kick back, and enjoy the ride. Pure Bliss.

      We did that, but sat on the floor of my friend Mikka's bedroom facing a mirror. Except sub mushrooms and beer.
      All kinds of songs of many slower genres and eras. Including Pink Floyd and other softer prog and the Beatles.
      That was in 1985 onward to 1989.
      I was born in 1970. We all were that age. ❤

    The 70s had some great songs, Al's contributions are a vibe. " If you don't like it fast forward." Fans of this song didn't fast forward. One of the most beautiful classic rock songs of the 70s. Al has a few of them.

    I bought this album in 1976 when I was 20. And I still have it in excellent condition. My rocker friends didn’t understand why I bought it. It just spoke to me. One song on the album, “Flying Sorcery” got me wanting to REALLY learn to fly. And I did!! Thanks Al.

      "She comes out of the sun with a silk dress running like a watercolor in the rain" That line alone shows why this song is a masterclass in song writing.

      I agree. The arrangement, the lyric mated with gorgeously precise musicianship? It saddens me to know that our culture has devolved so precipitously and so rapidly since this *absolute masterpiece* was produced.

    Al Stewart - an amazing singer/songwriter. I’ve been a fan since the 70’s when I first heard him singing The Year of the Cat on a rental car FM Radio as I left LAX to drive down the coast. THEN, right after it they played Time Passages; the sun was setting, it was just after Christmas…magic!

      "Haunting" is a good descriptor. I was 12 at the time. My connection wasn't as dramatic as yours, but Jr. High School can flood anyone with mixed emotions and this song definitely helped me sort through all that mess.

    My Fifth Grade English Teacher played this album, during class. This was one of his tactics, to get us to learn how to write in Proper Cursive in Paragraph Form.
    He wrote all the lyrics on the chalkboard, put on the Vinyl, while the class wrote away.
    It was this Class, that I heard so many Classic Artists, that still remind me of that Teacher and how cool He was to influence so many young people to learn English, but at the same time hear GREAT Music.

      I had a music teacher all through elementary school in the 60’s who influenced thousands of students in the same way. All show tunes, had to write the words listen to the tune by his piano playing and sing a line and you better know the song cause you don’t know which line of the song you have to sing. Created a whole school to learn every show tune created. Viva Mr. Morgan ~ #mrmorgansawmillelementary

    Love your reactions and appreciation for this fantastic music. I have seen Al Stewart live many times and he has a fantastic sense of humour as well, very intelligent very articulate.
    He is a fantastic acoustic guitar player.
    If you fancy hearing how two musicians can blow your mind on just two acoustic guitars and a live performance listen to Nostrodamus from Al Stewar ya album Rymes in Rooms. It is 11 minutes long and the acoustic guitars are played with so much attitude. Al tells the story of Nostodamus and his scarily accurate predictions, he even uses old English in part of the song.
    He has also done a live version completely on his own
