My favorite all-time song. And that's profound because I've been a music collector/historian for 45 years.
Thank you!I fully agree! I've been loving and singing this song for 35 years now, and I hope to never stop.
It's not sad Harri, the little man and the waitress end up together, with hopes of something more long lasting for them both. Thank you for Harry, Harri and thank you for the request and Happy Birthday Carol! Have loved this album since its release.
Yea but it seems in both cases only one person truly loved the other,while the other party just kinda settled for "better than nothing". Thats why i thought it sad
I think it's sad for the beautiful woman 👩 😔 😢 that could never find her love and contentment. Always moving on.
@@HarriBestReactions And I think he'll eventually (maybe sooner rather than later) be moving on from the waitress just like the first woman did to him.
@@HarriBestReactions It's very moving, and it's poetically sad.
Greatest story teller EVER! Sadly he left us waaaay too soon. While Taxi and Mr Tanner are more famous I think his saddest song is Flowers Are Red, a song about youth and lost innocence. On the darker side is Sniper, true life story of the U of Texas clock tower shooter adapted to a psych analysis. This is a rabbit hole worth exploring on your own if not here.
Harry Chapin was a story teller in song like few if any others. Sniper is another very stirring song, about a real story (The Texas clock tower shootings in the 60s). Keep it up, bro, really becoming one of my favorite reaction channels.
Another great singer songwriter & storyteller. I had his "Greatest Stories Live" double album. "Cat's In The Cradle" is his most famous piece. "Taxi" was another big hit for Harry Chapin. Ten years later he followed it up with "Sequel" showing what happened to the 2 people in the story. He had so many great songs such as "W·O·L·D", "Mr. Tanner", "Mail Order Annie", "They Call Her Easy", "I Wanna Learn A Love Song", "30,000 Pounds Of Bananas", "Shooting Star", "Halfway To Heaven", "Six String Orchestra", "Dreams Go By", "Remember When The Music", "Story Of A Life". We lost him too young in a car accident in 1981 at the age of 38. He left a great legacy of music.
You left out What Made America Famous and Sniper, two very potent songs in the 60s era.
My favorite Harry Chapin song. Please react to Flowers Are Red by Harry Chapin.
Happy Birthday, Carol !!! Great song by Harri. And great reaction by Harry. (Or vice versa. lol)
I love Harry Chapin. I had this album and I think I listened to it until all the grooves were worn smooth. He was such a good poet. Seeing him live was such an emotional evening, not a dry eye in the place. Thank you for reacting to this song. Happy Birthday, Carol.
Try my favorite Chapin song : "Old College Avenue". I got to meet Harry several times. This was one of his very favorites. He didn't sing it often in concert because it was so personal for him.
Happy birthday once again Carol! This was a lovely thing to do Harri! Harry was a masterful songwriter! This and "Taxi" are my favorites from him. Another great insightful reaction Harri!
I've enjoyed your reactions to Harry Chapin. I hope you react to Taxi. Harry Chapin really tells a good story with that song.
He was such a talent. You should react to his song Mr. Tanner.
For several years, Harry himself said this was his favorite. In the last few years of his life, there may have a couple that he came to love even more.
Thank you Harri. This is a great song by a master story teller. Three of my favorites by Harry Chapin are "I Want to Learn a Love Song", "Dreams Go By", and "Circle". Another song in this vein is "Rosalie's Good Eats Cafe" by Bobby Bare.
Happy Birthday Carol! You have excellent taste in music and reviewers. May you live as long as you love and love as long as you live!
You should listen to the live version from "Greatest Stories Live". One of the few times that the live version is actually better than the studio version... Love your channel, BTW.
An appropriate song considering the number of lonely people in the world due to the Covid pandemic in the past 2 years. Another song that tugs at the heart strings is Cat's In The Cradle.
Funny story: This song is about a city in northern New York where I was born and raised. Had you picked the live recording to react to, you would have heard Mr. Chapin introduce the song by explaining what inspired it. In the process he made clear what he thought of my home town when he said, "I spent a week there one afternoon!" I didn't hold it against him. He's a talented singer as well as a masterful story teller.
... unfortunately, my (3) favorite singer song writers have left us before their time ... Harry Chapin ... Stan Rogers ... and Gamble Rogers ... luckily I saw them all in live concerts .... multiple times ... signed "Harry" ...
Thank you Harry for playing that song by Harry Chapin I have never heard it before and it is a beautiful song keep up the good work my friend
Harri, Thank you so much for reacting to Harry and avoiding the two common songs (Taxi and Cat's in the Cradle"). Harry was so much more and I wish people would listen to his best songs, not his popular ones. I would love to see you react to "Danceband on the Titanic" and one of my favorite songs ever: "Remember When the Music".
One of my all time favorite song lyrics “She left a six word letter…”. That simple juxtaposition instead of a six letter word a six word letter. There are several lines in Harry Chapin songs that have stuck with me since the 70s. “Reality poured from her face staining the floor”, “The critics were concise. It only took three lines, and no one could accuse them of being over kind.” Along with huge sections of his song There Only Was One Choice.
"You can travel on ten thousand miles and still stand where you are."
-W.O.L.D.-
Harry Chapins last name is pronounced Chaypin
Oh thanx for that 🙈🙈
Harri -- Thanks for the birthday wishes -- and for "my gift" of yet another great reaction video! Harry was a story teller like no other. And, to put icing on the cake, a he was also a humanitarian on a grand scale. Over his professional career, he gave away over 50 percent of his income to fight hunger. His foundation continues to feed the poor in America and around the world. Though he died to young, the legacy he left us is that of compassion and love. I doubt few of today's artists will leave such a legacy behind. THANK YOU AGAIN for your great work!
Happy birthday once again young lady 😁🖤
Happy belated birthday Sue. And thanks for this, I did not know this song.
I grew up listening to Harry. Great story teller.
You reacted to Harry before. I'm pretty sure that you did Cat's in the Cradle. Harry died at 38 in 1981. He was a huge advocate of feeding the poor. I was supposed to see him at a free concert that night .... It was a terrible shock. I saw him as a young girl that my dad took me to see at a local high school. He was lovely.
Yea i did react to him Sue
He did half his concerts each yeah for charity. He inspired so many other good deeds by so many other people.
@@tfodthogtmfof7644 so sad how so many people who do good die so young. George Michael, Michael Jackson, John Lennon, Harry Chapin …
You were going to be at that concert in East Meadow?
YES!!!! My favorite song of all time!!! I have the lyrics "I wish that I was beautiful or that you were halfway blind" tattooed on my forearm. I get lost in this story every time I hear it.
You’re right about the Don McLean reference, I also heard some Billy Joel here.
Nobody sings a story better than Harry. Been a long time since I have heard this. I almost forgot about this one.
I love this song. His later live version is better though. Another great video. Cheers from Canada 👍😎🇨🇦🏹
I have favorite songs but this one just passed all but one. You reacted to my late wifes and mine wedding song a few months back when she passed away which was Endless Love thanks again for doing that for us Harri. You are a stand up guy.
The Rock and Sniper are great Harry tunes you should check out!
I think when she says "shhhhh... I know just how you feel", it's because she looks at someone else the way that he looks at her. Later in the song you find out that the bartender looks at him the way that he looks at the girl, who longs for someone else.
Thank you Carol and Harri, you managed to make me cry! Such a beautiful song, Harry was a master storyteller who died way too young. You would really love WOLD, another lovely, wistful Chapin masterpiece. Cheers Harri and Happy Birthday Carol!
Sorry for the tears 😁
@@HarriBestReactions Not your fault, it's the other Harry's fault!
@@HarriBestReactions Do WOLD, you will love it brother.
WOLD
Harri, have a listen to Greatest Stories Live. I saw him 5 times in concert and his music comes alive when he performs. This song, for example, is slowed down which makes it more powerful and poignant.
On the Greatest Stories Live album he talks about this song being his favorite that he's ever written. He said he wrote it when he was in a small town in upstate New York called, Watertown, New York. He said he spent a week there one afternoon. Haha.....I was born and raised in Watertown, N.Y. and Harry came a couple of times to do concerts at the Community College here in town. People pretty much know what bar he's referencing as he just went to places like this small bar before or after his concerts, if he had time, to get inspirations for his songs. The town knows who the barkeep was and everything. The only difference from the song is that the little man at the bar didn't work at Miller's tool and die (though the town did have a factory that made tools and die...it wasn't named Miller's though) but the guy at the bar was a janitor at a local high school. I don't know what breeze drifted into Harry's mind when he was there but he "read" something and decided to write about it. Harry holds a special place in the fabric of our town's heart. Thank you so much for your reaction Harri. I enjoyed it. Take care and be well. Peace.
I've never heard this before and it was devastating. It sounds like all of them were just lonely and so desperate to connect that they didn't even think if they actually liked the person. Wow.
What a beautifully sad song. The waitress was probably beautiful inside.
Harry the greatest story teller in song ever. Have loved him since 1974 , saw him live a few months before his death , Harry C I love and miss you 🇬🇧
I love Harry Chapin and had the great fortune to see him in person at the Hampton Beach Casino in New Hampshire. He was a wonderful performer! I actually had tickets to see him a second time and he tragically died a couple of days before the scheduled show. Such a terrible loss to the world. Harri, I am trying to be patient and hope that you will get to my February requests. Happy belated birthday Carol and thank you for a great request. 🌺✌️
He can certainly paint a picture with his words and perfect accompanying music that carry the words and twirls them around in a dance with each other that fades from sight, to be replaced by more.
I hope it is a "happy ever after" event. Look on the bright side. Love your show.
There is not a bad Harry Chaplin song. You need to react to all his “Best of” songs. Maybe do “Flying” next.
He was a true genius who is gone too soon. Thanks for doing this song.
one of my favorite songs.. I love Harry C so much... so underated though, alot of people do not know who he is unless we get more people introducting him to everyone.. Please do more reactions with him!... Other good songs would be All my lifes a circle (which has a more positive feeling to it).. and 30 thousand pounds of bananas.... hmm just listen to all his music haha... its all wonderful.. Try listening to his live work too.. he had such humour , warmth and charisma! i never saw him when young, did not hear of him until after his passing but he was a blessing to discover and i wish i got to see him live ...
Chapin was a keen observer of life and could find a way to write songs about all of it - love him.
Everybody talks about what a sad song this is, but I don’t look at it that way. The woman he picked up was never going to be anymore than a one night stand. However in the end he may have found his soulmate. After all, we cant all marry beauty queens.
The live version is so awesome. This is one great song. Harry was such a story teller. And he had some great stories.
Yes harry you did a reaction to endless love last year for my wife who died January 16 2023. And I too am all alone now it is so hard after being married for 40 years. This is my favorite song of his I really understand it.
Cool intro with the bouncing box. PRODUCTION :)
Don Maclean did American Pie :-). Harry was an amazing story teller. His Greatest Stories Live album is amazing. Live he had such an incredible rapport with his audience. R.I.P. Harry, you were something special buddy.
You know a song has hit its mark when no matter how long since you heard it you can sing every word...............I must say I prefer his live version [Greatest Stories Live album]..........but he had too many great songs for just that concert.........The Mayor of Candor Lied from On Road to Kingdom Come comes to mind just for one. Harry worked best when in front of an audience.
The whole album is like that. But it is one of his best, maybe not so much entertaining as educational. You may be a better person after hearing them. Often sad, about people struggling with hardship and hurt but many find a solution or have a lesson to teach.
For me many of his songs are my pain songs I listen to when things are bad. They may not make me feel better but less alone.
I would have you try: "Mail Order Annie" by Harry Chapin
I like your commentary a lot, but it kills me that you still pronounce Harry Chapin's last name wrong.
I didn't know you liked Harry, Harri. Cute comment huh?
His songs evoke so much emotion. Great stuff.
This might be hard to believe but his live version is even better. Cheers from Canada my friend👍🇨🇦🥶🏹
Harry was so good..."lets hear it for the cheap seats "
I hope you react to W.O.L.D. Great storytelling in that song.
There's to Harry's one's a good storyteller when's a good listener
Harri- "Old College Avenue ". You'll love it to react to.
Harry Chapin - Sniper
You have never heard anything like it.
Interesting how we all see things in our own way. You see the ending as sad. Personally, I see the end as quite beautiful. At worst, 'the little man' paid forward his own one-night stand to fill a night for the lonely waitress. At best, maybe these two lonely people actually filled the void in each other's life & stayed together.
This brings back such memories of singing this song with my best friend (who passed this past June after a 50+ year friendship) after finding it on a cassette tape in the early 70s - on that same tape we also discovered Cher's "He'll Never Know" which you should check out, too if you can find it. Thanks for the memories! :)
Harry Chapin can make a storyteller listen to him
This is the first time I heard the studio version of this song. The live version is WAY better!
This was another true story that someone told him in person. His songs move me like no other.
The live version is so much better.
Rest in peace
All his songs are like this lol.
Ah, here it is.
Harri, I very much enjoyed your commentary on this classic Chapin song. Here it is nearly fifty years since I first heard it. I was returning to Kentucky from Texas after completing USAF cadet training. It felt like a punch to the heart when I heard it and here I' am in my 60's and it still brings back those same feelings from my youth.
Wonderful, beutiful song. Growing up I would be in the car coming back from my nan's house, half asleep I'd be listening to this guy as my dad would play him as we drove. Dad would have been 77 , he would no doubt enjoy the way I still listen to Harry. I like to think that everyone was a little lonely in this song but in the end two people find each other. Lovely channel well done.
I wish you got to hear Harry Chapin live. This was his favorite song.
Live- he sang this song slower- he painted a picture of every scene in the story. You were spellbound.
Chapin fans were fiercely loyal.
We all know exactly what we were doing when we heard of him dying on that sad , hot summer day in July of '81.
Have you done 30,000 lbs of bananas
It's about as upbeat as he gets.
You did a good job on the revue👍
