Thanks for sharing. There is no other piece of music/poetry that can trigger nostalgia for my past, mourning for loves and people lost, and knowledge that our own time will be over much sooner than we can fathom like Bookends. It all comes so fast and powerfully, like I’m being overcome by a tsunami of all the good and bad I’ve experienced in my life. And yet, I am grateful that I am blessed with a mind that can understand the message being conveyed.
You are very kind to pin my comment, thank you 🙏. When I was a kid in the 70s, music by artists now referred to as singer-songwriters was always on the turntable/stereo. I have such fondness for Simon & Garfunkel, Jim Croce, Gordon Lightfoot, Carly Simon, Peter, Paul & Mary, the Carpenters, Helen Reddy, John Denver and so many more. My father played acoustic guitar and often sang John Denver’s “For Baby” to me while I played on the floor of my parents’ library. Wish I’d appreciated that more, but I was very young; little did I know that it would be planted in my brain and whenever I hear it now, at age 51, the tears well immediately. [aside - I sat next to Carly Simon at The Black Dog on Martha’s Vineyard back in 1993 and heard some amazing stories].
When the good times are over , even if you learned how to live with your new sad reality the pictures that are in your head from the good old memories will never go away . Even if you don’t want to be stuck In the past no matter how hard you try the past is always stuck on you .
My mother past in July 2024 and this song hit me hard. I can't tell you how many time I think to tell her something or ask a question. My heart drops every time.
Such sad emotions in such a simple but beautiful melody. Times will not be what they used to be, but they will again get to be something decent, not like the times of today.
can not share the memories. Once they are gone. It all over. There is no more and your a fish out of waters. Your best friend is over. The struggling has begun,. You fight to keep alive, your now hated by all they want you dead to,,. But you are alive. You want to be alive. some can not even help you go get two batteries. It all a new life unlike it was when your young.
