You're so right Maz. I was 18 when I first heard this song; living in a tiny bedsit in London. 36 yrs later , the words DO mean so much more. A lot of great times coupled with a lot of pain.
I almost passed away once and how odd that this was the song I wanted for my final procession. It still haunts me at an older age. Such a profound and beautiful memory of my youth. Words can never Express my love and emotions for this.
Such a haunting song. I was a young man when I fell in love with Alan Parsons Project and this song in particular. I'm now 57 and feel the lyrics are now even more relevant.
Oh yes I am right there with you. Most of my friends were not interested in this music. I always thought what are they thinking. Beauty and art should be observed. But most people are more interested in gossip and train wrecks. Life is for the living. Don't waste it. Listen and learn from beauty not ugliness.
What western movie used Pink Floyd's Time? I know that APP worked on the album and I just can't remember. I know the cowboy is riding into town with clocks ticking and chiming. Gosh, what the mind does when aging. Thanks in advance for helping me.
30 - 40 secs. Seeing the tears of others sets me off. I’m there in the moment. This is a great song and Colin has always had that enviable, angelic voice. As a musician the greatest connection you’ll ever make is when someone cries when they hear you sing. You couldn’t ask for more than that.
Two years after this recording, I located Colin Blunstone playing in a dingy little nightclub in Worcester Park and drove there to see him. Always thought he was Britain's most underrated singer. I'd seen The Zombies once in the 1960's and he'd just met up with Rod Argent again and they'd started the band again when I saw them. I'd wondered what had happened to them. From that little nightclub in 2002 they're now doing world tours. Wonderful band and singer.
It is very difficult not to escape a tear when listening to this nostalgic but beautiful song sung with much feeling by this great artist, really beautiful.-
Classic song, every word cuts deep in the heart...true are the words as we get older we get wiser...so thankful we are lucky enough to hear and enjoy this song...
Great to see a song from my favorite band Alan Parsons Project played by our top Belgian musicians, including Eric Melaerts (guitar), Vincent Pierins (bass) and Alain Van Zeveren (keys).
Una canción, un poema que llega al alma. Una canción que provoca un nudo en la garganta. Diferentes cantantes la han interpretado, pero nadie imprime ese sentimiento, esa claridad como Colin Blunstone. La chica no puede contener las lágrimas..... Solo los verdaderos artistas logran ese efecto.
CB has such a breathy and beautiful resonance to his voice, the soft tonal quality and clarity is truly otherworldy and this most gorgeous song brings out and compliments his style so much and so well! All round simply beautiful and profound! Xxx.
Eric Woolfson was such a underrated genius, who wrote dozens of brilliant songs and haunting instrumentals. He was so quiet guy and remained out of light. . Everybody knows Alan Parsons who was smart leader of his Project but the brain and author of the band was still Woolfson.
I love this song so much. It means so much to me, I cry each time I hear it. I have someone who will always be in my heart and will always be a friend of mine, thank you so much for posting this on RUclips. I sadly miss the haunting saxophone played on a previous recording, but the electric guitar does a wonderful job.
Memories of the 70' & 80's in the restaurants I worked in with so many friends. We had such great times. All gone now but the memories bring me happiness.
My best friend from High School always asked that this be played at his funeral. Even as a teen he said he would die when he was 30. He was taken from us when he was 31. A hauntingly personal song.
When a perfect song meets the perfect voice to sing it. Or when a perfect voice meets the perfect song to sing. It rarely happens, but when it does you have this.
Zo kun je zien wat muziek met iemand kan doen....maarja dan hebben we het natuurlijk wel over iemand met een geweldige stem die je raakt...thanks Colin....
According to a recent documentary this was his favourite song and Eric Woolfson (the writer of the Alan Parsons project music) give him a few days to practise, normally they just said here it is Colin sing it now and he frequently did just one take. Brilliant singer and a song writer as well.
This has to be one of the most beautiful emotionally charged songs ever written.
It’s bought me to tears as I recall when I listened to this as a very sad young woman, in the early1980’s….. still sad at times, but I survived.
I am knocking on the door of 70......this song gets you thinking about life....
I hope that this magical performance catch the attention of the next generation. Best song ever !
Fabulous song, beautiful lyrics and in Colin Blunstone the perfect voice for this song. So emotional.
Such a haunting song. I cried at 25 listening to it, and now at 52 it means so so much more...
I'm 64 and am waiting for the Zombies tour dates to be announced. thanks for your comments and what can I say? they don't make em like this any more.
You're so right Maz. I was 18 when I first heard this song; living in a tiny bedsit in London. 36 yrs later , the words DO mean so much more. A lot of great times coupled with a lot of pain.
I'm 52. And I love tis song since I Was 13.
You need listen to Edward Reekers sing this song, you will cry deep
I am 58 and this song still evokes so many emotions it's hard to describe.
I'm now 61 years old and the song is becoming more relevant each year.
Of course im 64 their passing away songs
Their sad
i am having this song at my funeral without doubt... Keep going Colin
The song became a favorite of my wife and mine . She passed 10 years ago which gives it so much meaning far beyond what we expected.
Colin Blunstone is one of those rare performers, everything he has done has been classic.
Indeed 💜
Beautiful vocals, Colin has a fragility, vulnerable quality which is unusual in male singers. Outstanding song by Eric Woolfson.
As I approach my 70th year, I share the tears of the Hostess...
It will be my funeral song ... a thank you for all the people I dearly loved
ber calnip this and Comfortably Numb will be mine.
Same for me. As a big APP-fan I'm telling my wife already for years that this must be played at my funural ;-)
I almost passed away once and how odd that this was the song I wanted for my final procession. It still haunts me at an older age. Such a profound and beautiful memory of my youth. Words can never Express my love and emotions for this.
I know exactly what you mean. 💜😪💔
@@peterturley1331 thank you for the kind feedback.
I’m with you my friend.
Great words................
Such a haunting song. I was a young man when I fell in love with Alan Parsons Project and this song in particular. I'm now 57 and feel the lyrics are now even more relevant.
ditto i'm 57 now too.

me too 57 lets sing it together lol
What western movie used Pink Floyd's Time? I know that APP worked on the album and I just can't remember. I know the cowboy is riding into town with clocks ticking and chiming. Gosh, what the mind does when aging. Thanks in advance for helping me.
My favourite song of all time.
Me too
Collin's voice is enchanting.
This piece was, is & will stay in the hearts & souls of mankind.
Thank you Alan Parson's Project...
The only song that can make me cry. I had listened to this song since 25 years ago and it still makes me cry.
30 - 40 secs. Seeing the tears of others sets me off. I’m there in the moment. This is a great song and Colin has always had that enviable, angelic voice. As a musician the greatest connection you’ll ever make is when someone cries when they hear you sing. You couldn’t ask for more than that.
People cry when I sing too. They beg me to stop. I don't think it's the same thing tho.
I got to meet Colin. Spoke with him. Such an honor Really nice guy.
Too right he is. A real gentleman.
Song for my funeral back to back with in my life.
Still brings tears, to my eyes, like it did. When i was 30, now i am 72. As the same effect

Watching Colin sing “She’s Not There” with The Zombies; I thought he was the coolest ever …watching this at 67 brings tears…
Am 70 now and have loved this for lots of years. Have no intention of dying for years yet so will love it forever. Thank you xxxxxx
always one of my favourite songs by the brilliant Colin Blunstone
It is very difficult not to escape a tear when listening to this nostalgic but beautiful song sung with much feeling by this great artist, really beautiful.-
The older I get, the better this gets...
I adore her for crying
Was it Anne Diamond?
Classic song, every word cuts deep in the heart...true are the words as we get older we get wiser...so thankful we are lucky enough to hear and enjoy this song...
it is touching to see dana winner was crying.... she was so beautiful
this is a song of LIFE... touched me.. i must be wise when i get old... so i can remember a friend of mine.. even just one of them.
speechless ! the woman at the beginning sums it up for me ! bittersweet. sad. true.
For whom living with this song for years will understand the meaning of it, as final curtain fall before our eyes.
I really would love this song to be played at my funeral. I'm sure it would soothe any sorry feeling among the attenders!
Oh this sublime performance ~ watching the faces of so many in the audience who know that their own death is approaching.
Everyone is scares shit
Stupit
This song makes me cry too, he has such command and delivery! Pure emotion! Love this guy!
Music makes the world a much better place,..period!❤🎶👍
Its impossible not to cry when you hear this
One my favourite songs of all time!!!
Great to see a song from my favorite band Alan Parsons Project played by our top Belgian musicians, including Eric Melaerts (guitar), Vincent Pierins (bass) and Alain Van Zeveren (keys).
Una canción, un poema que llega al alma. Una canción que provoca un nudo en la garganta. Diferentes cantantes la han interpretado, pero nadie imprime ese sentimiento, esa claridad como Colin Blunstone. La chica no puede contener las lágrimas.....
Solo los verdaderos artistas logran ese efecto.
tiene un tono de voz celestial...
Nadie como el para interpretarla.
Esta canción es solo para el.
🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶♥️
Such a beautiful song, sung with perfect simplicity .
Extraoelrdinarily beautiful. What a song and what a voice
Always admired everything Colin did, great performer
CB has such a breathy and beautiful resonance to his voice, the soft tonal quality and clarity is truly otherworldy and this most gorgeous song brings out and compliments his style so much and so well! All round simply beautiful and profound! Xxx.
I was a teenager when this came out and I still think it's a great one. And Colin Blunstone nails it here!
Nice song...Thanks for sharing and memories...
Thanks Colin, Im old, hope to be wize..
Each time I isten to this song I find it more and more extraordinary, both music and lyrics
What a voice ,beautiful
This song is amazing Colin you are a legend.
This is the perfect song for this legendary Singer when he leaves us.
Eric Woolfson was such a underrated genius, who wrote dozens of brilliant songs and haunting instrumentals. He was so quiet guy and remained out of light. . Everybody knows Alan Parsons who was smart leader of his Project but the brain and author of the band was still Woolfson.
yes they complimented one another ! and this guy is awesome as well...
Alan Parsons - genius. Like it since i've heard it in early 80s when i was young and silly
I love this song so much. It means so much to me, I cry each time I hear it. I have someone who will always be in my heart and will always be a friend of mine, thank you so much for posting this on RUclips. I sadly miss the haunting saxophone played on a previous recording, but the electric guitar does a wonderful job.
Thanks. The guitar player is Eric Melaerts, a well known guitarist in Belgium.
Brilliant song by mr blunstone and Alan parson
The great Colin Blunstone.
From one Perry to another, yep. Amen.
one of thee most beautiful bittersweet songs EVER ! what a SOUL that guy has !!!
Monteiro
One of the G.O.A.T.s.....singing one of the G.O.A.T.!!!!!!!!!!!! 2020
Never heard this before. Colin Blunstone is still glorious.
....beautiful song...
Efectivamente, esta canción cuando la interpreta Colin Blunstone derrocha sentimiento, llega al corazón y se queda allí!
Lo has dicho perfectamente, en lo personal, se me hace un nudo en la garganta cada vez que la escucho.
Exacto, me gusta un poco más con David paton, pero este vocalista hace que la canción sea un poco más sad con su significado! :'(
Memories of the 70' & 80's in the restaurants I worked in with so many friends. We had such great times. All gone now but the memories bring me happiness.

So sorry to hear the sad news of your friend. What a great song to have as a tribute to him
you can feel the pain as you listen to this song. " when im old and wise"
This is really a great song
A great singer for a beautiful song!
amazing song, just amazing. I've heard this song 20 years ago and i still enjoy it everytime i hear it.
This song it a requiem of the ending life.
When a perfect song meets the perfect voice to sing it. Or when a perfect voice meets the perfect song to sing.
It rarely happens, but when it does you have this.
Zo kun je zien wat muziek met iemand kan doen....maarja dan hebben we het natuurlijk wel over iemand met een geweldige stem die je raakt...thanks Colin....
Ja, dat dus
The brilliant Colin Blunstone.
Thank you...you really made my night when i'm with friends..
beautiful song, extraordinary singer
this a beautiful
song,live a beautiful life,set a good example,be old and wise
The best version and will ever be 👍
This song hit me quite hard too when I first got the album, Eye In The Sky album (1982). It has meaning and can be cathartic.
such a moving performance of a brilliant piece of songwriting. !
No, the song is really that insanely emotional. And Colin Blunstone is a-maz-ing.
God this song touches something deep inside. The guitar at end jars though I allways stop it when Colin finishes.
I watched with tears in my eyes,too...
simply brilliant
I love that song and its message.
Every note hits me like a hammer
These will be my funeral song 😢
i'm just old...
Simply brilliant.
Outstanding performance
Unforgettable.
ESTA ES SIN DUDA ALGUNA UNA PROFUNDISISIMA Y DULCE CANCIÓN E INTERPRETADA POR ESTE EXCELENTE POETA... SENCILLAMENTE HERMOSO TEMA
Sublime!!!
Cuando un poema se vuelve canción, directo a tu alma!
According to a recent documentary this was his favourite song and Eric Woolfson (the writer of the Alan Parsons project music) give him a few days to practise, normally they just said here it is Colin sing it now and he frequently did just one take. Brilliant singer and a song writer as well.
That is my favorite of APP's
Such a sad song. Colin sings it on Eye In The sky CD along with Eric Woolfson. Love APP.
I MISS THE FINAL WITH DE GLORIUS SAXOFON.
Maestro.
What a voice
@joserafaf She is Dana Winner, a Belgian/Flemish singer...
Her favorite song is Old and Wise... She also recorded a version of O&W...
한국영화 "비열한거리" OST로 사용된 2007년 부터 쭉 듣고 있는 음악. 현재 37세 이지만 들을때마다 슬픈 음악입니다
Nobody does this song better than Collin .
let it be known from this day forward
I agree !
Lol, the Original is 10 times better, Alan Parssons Project !
@@albertbavre3941 11 times better :)
@@albertbavre3941 He sang the original.
@@albertbavre3941 he is the lead vocal of APP's old and wise
