No one song has affected me as much as this one. The more I hear it, the more the feeling grows. I'm 75 yo and haven't felt this way in years, when I hear this song. Youth is wasted on the young.
Funny thing How we knew From the first time I saw you This feeling here inside of us would have no chance to grow But still like foolish children we pretended not to know 'Til it ended Like the night Looking back I recall The hopelessness Of it all The future didn't matter we just lived from day to day We didn't have the strength to turn and go our separate ways 'Til it ended Like the night I remember how We waited for the sun To sing to the clouds And tell us day was done We didn't think of right We didn't think of wrong We only knew we didn't want to spend those nights alone Now I've gone The way alone All is quiet now And love has grown But still I have my memories And still I can't forget I'll look back on that beauty in the dark with no regrets Though it's ended Like the night I was just a drifter now Just passing through your town Just passing through your town Just passing through your town
I found this album in a Navy Exchange on Guam Island, no less. As I wrote TO Bob, it reminded me that there WAS a World "back there", and it inspires me to this day... ironically, I'm in the Colorado he sung of, 'though I'd never been here... before.
came here because of jarvis and pulp (happy birthday) the magnificent lo-fi version (bravo to whoever made it) and because of skoca (a local dj that introduced me and my family to, well almost everything! music-wise! ahaha, who now lives in austin texas)
prijatelju! neizmjerno me raduje što nailazim na nekoga sa ovih prostora na pjesmi boba linda koju bez dvojbe proglašavam najboljom pjesmom ikada napravljenom! baš nedavno sam izmijenio s bobom nekoliko poruka u vezi ove pjesme. poslao mi je tekst i pričao mi je o okolnostima nastanka ovog albuma. a i skoča mi je poznato ime iz BG krugova. vladimir skočajić? nije li svijet malen? živ bio!

te veo en la nada gritando silencio como si el negro no fuera sólo un color cuando las notas sutiles de tu boca me enajenan y extraen hasta el punto de retratar tu belleza, no puedo, pero sí tengo que gritar lo que te llamo lo que te busco, sin temor al pánico sin amor de la piedra cuando una preciosa piedra se oculta no hay manos para un viejo
It was originally a shopping mall recording studio that 17 year Bob and his friends paid for. Bob recorded with his guitar in a vocal booth then the recording was forgotten about. 6 years later when he had his elusive butterfly hit the tapes were sold without his knowledge to a producer who put the strings, percussion and electric guitar and bass on. The album was released with substituted track titles to avoid paying him copy write for his music
An album praised by Stuart Staples from the band Tindersticks. They played a superb cover on their latest tour. Check out the video recording of their gig in Nantes, filmed by Arte.tv .
I think you make an excellent point. Also, Elusive Butterfly was great but I tried out a few of Bob's other songs (maybe I just missed out on the good ones). But I am back to look and well this is one good tune I missed out on. Glad to be wrong about Bob. Haunting and Sadly Beautiful like Paul Westerberg, our finest underrated songwriter.

This song makes me so sad and rips me apart. Can only listen once in a while. Producer Jack Nitzsche had a lot to do with the sound.
Funny thing
How we knew
From the first time
I saw you
This feeling here inside of us would have no chance to grow
But still like foolish children we pretended not to know
'Til it ended
Like the night
Looking back
I recall
The hopelessness
Of it all
The future didn't matter we just lived from day to day
We didn't have the strength to turn and go our separate ways
'Til it ended
Like the night
I remember how
We waited for the sun
To sing to the clouds
And tell us day was done
We didn't think of right
We didn't think of wrong
We only knew we didn't want to spend those nights alone
Now I've gone
The way alone
All is quiet now
And love has grown
But still I have my memories
And still I can't forget
I'll look back on that beauty in the dark with no regrets
Though it's ended
Like the night
I was just a drifter now
Just passing through your town
Just passing through your town
Just passing through your town
THIS IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SONG EVER WRITTEN! BOB LIND CULT IS ALIVE AND WELL IN THE MOST UNLIKELY PLACE ON EARTH. CROATIA LOVES BOB LIND

🌻you are so right Lind is an artist. syracuse New York
Still have this album downstairs ...from 1966!
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥Lind is so cool what a song writer. syracuse New York
so beautiful
What a great song, unbelievable.
This song cures my 7 months old daughter’s hiccup when violins start playing ! Pure magic
Melodie et voix à la douceur enivrante et qui engage au songe.
The most underrated and under appreciated of all Bob Lind’s songs!😍
i realize it's kind of off topic but do anybody know a good website to stream new series online?
You are absolutely right! Such a great song!
Not by me !
My favourite song ever ever ever !
I found this album in a Navy Exchange on Guam Island, no less. As I wrote TO Bob, it reminded me that there WAS a World "back there", and it inspires me to this day... ironically, I'm in the Colorado he sung of, 'though I'd never been here... before.
in a nex? no way
Wow!❤
♥Lind is a terrific song writer. I totally agree with you wow. syracuse New York
Another fantastic Bob Lind song....I'm enjoying discovering his music
Just started that rabbit hole. Excited!

so hauntingly beautiful .....bittersweet nostalgia...love this bob.....gina
wow. this one really gets to me!
te veo en la nada gritando silencio
como si el negro no fuera sólo un color
cuando las notas sutiles de tu boca
me enajenan y extraen hasta el punto
de retratar tu belleza, no puedo, pero sí
tengo que gritar lo que te llamo
lo que te busco, sin temor al pánico
sin amor de la piedra
cuando una preciosa piedra se oculta
no hay manos para un viejo
💙
This is why folk music is better than rock.
This is folk rock using orchestration and strings. It would have been booed at Newport Folk along with Dylan.
Wow ,why was this not released,so he was more than just an Elusive Butterfly
It was an album track.
It was originally a shopping mall recording studio that 17 year Bob and his friends paid for. Bob recorded with his guitar in a vocal booth then the recording was forgotten about. 6 years later when he had his elusive butterfly hit the tapes were sold without his knowledge to a producer who put the strings, percussion and electric guitar and bass on.

Oh, you can hear the record skipping bless!
the overdubs really suck most of the time on this record; but they got it right on this tune. beautiful song

But I am back to look and well this is one good tune I missed out on. Glad to be wrong about Bob. Haunting and Sadly Beautiful like Paul Westerberg, our finest underrated songwriter.
@@oppothumbs1ever hear the full/demo version of Elusive Butterfly? It's a completely different song.
just rolls over ya
Hi Liv :)
Do you have the entire album uploaded?
Has this album ever been released on cd?
No, never. I hope that Bob Lind himself will change his mind about this record and set a release someday.
+Domenico Cirillo he should have maybe re-recorded some of these songs in later years under better conditions / circumstances.
@@dontknocktherock1263 Or maybe - if they still exist - release the original acoustic undubbed demos.
The record company should've been fired -- the whole staff.
Why so? What happened?
They dubbed all the orchestration without Bob knowing, these were demo recordings from before Elusive Butterfly, Cheryl's Goin' Home etc
