    My best friend just passed away this week. We met first day of kindergarten in 1969. 53+ years of friendship. He and I loved this song as teenagers. The lyrics and music are still magical. I have thought about the past few decades together with him. Time Passages of joy and brotherhood. RIP Phil

    I remember hearing this at the roller rink. Every weekend, we all went there to hang out and that was in the early 1980's with disco balls, fog machines and more colored lights than you could shake a stick at. It truly was a magical time growing up. We caught the end of the 1970's and the beginning of the 1980's at the same time. We had the best of both. Nothing quite compared with going around a roller rink on skates and just hanging with your friends on a Friday or Saturday night. Playing Pac Man or Defender in the arcade. Man we were blessed but we couldn't know it then or truly appreciate it until now. I am 58 this September and I wonder where the time has gone. It gets away from you that fast. But when I hear these songs, it brings you right back. The feelings, the sights, the sounds, the memories all come flooding back and it almost seems like you're in a dream for a short time and the younger you is having some weird dream about the future you. Then you snap out of it and realize, it's the other way around. A guy who was a friend of mine and brought me out of my shell, introduced me to KISS and indoctrinated me into the KISS army died here not all that long ago. We were classmates and friends. My class has lost so many already. Makes me hope that in the afterlife, wherever we go, we have parks to listen to loud tunes in and long summer days that seem like they will never end. I like to think that they are all already there and when we finally make it, we will pick up where we left off and life will be good. Some things about growing up I would never want to repeat but there are other things, a lot of them, I can remember now as if they happened yesterday. Would be nice to get those days back. Days before being disabled and all the problems health wise crept into our lives. Days before marriage and divorces turned us upside down. Days when we never thought of having to say good bye to friends we stuck by through thick and thin. Before life became so complicated.

    My wife and I just had our first child. A few days after she was born my dad took me out for a beer to celebrate and talk. As we clinked our glasses he said, "to time passages." I've known this beautiful song for years but now these lyrics have a whole new meaning for me. Cherish the time you have with your loved ones, it's fleeting.

    42 years after he wrote the song, the lyrics seem strange : "Well I'm not the kind to live in the past. The years run too short and the days too fast". The fact is that we are still listening to this masterpiece, a way to say that we do live in the past, and we do love it !

      @Dwight Dodd The sax solo was performed by Tom Scott, who was the bandleader for the short-lived CBS late night talk show The Pat Sajak Show in 1987. He left the NBC version of the game show Wheel Of Fortune, then a few months later, it moved to CBS. Despite hosting his talk show, he still hosted Wheel Of Fortune in syndication.

    I was a child when I heard this on the Dan Ingram show WABC-AM radio from NYC, and it made me cry how it stirred nostalgia in me knowing I’m not here long, my family everyone will not make it to the end with me. It was a profound feeling of loss and dread for me. I was always ahead for my age and I was reading that was then this is now, it was December just after Christmas and everyone I knew in the world had just passed through my house. I miss them all and today I’m glad this memory brings them all back so vividly since this song placed a marker for my life, my youth, my family. Thanks to Al Stewart, for the memories:)

    • @toolman8269

      The sax is played by the legendary Phil Kenzie and the second solo on the album version (heard here) comes when you think the song is fading and about to end, but then Phil comes in to take you away on another glorious flight, aided by glorious strings.

    • @rhsilverberg

I recall the other songs from this about, Palais of Versailles, Man for All Seasons, Song on the Radio, Almost Lucy. I used to play this to everyone I knew, and, my family specially, it was our song, and still is today. How can you not love this. All of his albums are a work of art.
