    Wish I could give this hundreds of “thumbs up”! This is a message we need to hear every week (in church), and everyday personally. Showing love to others is the only way out of our country’s polarization and conflicts. Love means respect and tolerance for the rights, decisions and boundaries of people, as well as sharing excesses with those of lesser means. But, love starts at home, in the home, and must be learned by example! Thanks for the reminder, James!

  • @romantichouse
    @romantichouse 3 года назад +51

    This song always makes me cry. Years since it was written and still it is valid. Love, easy to sing, but difficult to live by. Unfortunately we see through kind eyes, see color, religion, politics, financial status and education to select who we love. If we all could listen to JT and ingrain his soulful music into our hearts and lives.

Your songs bring back beautiful memories, that make sad now. Many friends are gone now. It makes me cry. I try sand stay away from. Tears. But thanks ever so. I still play my guitar 54 years now.

    Once again, James Taylor is my absolute favorite recording artist, singer/songwriter. The Colonial Theatre in Pittsfield, MA is also a beautiful venue to hear music, having seen many concerts there over the years. My home in The Berkshires, where James lives, is special place, as it is calming just as James is. This particular song was a part of my wedding reception 30 yrs. ago.

    Some guys simply look much better without than with hair. Except of course myself, I think that also applies to Mister James Taylor. :0)) However, if only I had a voice that's even 1/30th as nice as his, I'd be a really lucky man.... Delicate, elegant, stylish, confident but without one ounce of arrogance.... A real master of good taste ! Greetings from Belgium, and thanks for the won-de-ful music over the years !
