      He would've been super Big... But he said after his last tour he was giving it up. He was tired of going on the road. Maybe go back to teaching, be home more with his family.
      The Beatles gave up touring and just recorded. I know hes no Beatle but he was really good and everyone loved him. He could have just recorded. 🤎💥

    My favorite song by Croce. "And I carry it with me like my daddy did. But I'm livin' the dream that he kept hid" is such a powerful line, for me. The odd thing about this song is that it was not written by Jim Croce. The team of Gimbel and Fox were responsible for the song's creation. But, like all his other work, Jim Croce made it his song.

    The duo Jim Croce and Maury Muehleisen were quite a pair. Jim's voice and Maury's guitar blended so well. It's too bad they perished in a plane crash in 1973 early in their musical careers. Photographs And Memories and New York's Not My Home are terrific songs too.

      Yes, yes, yes! Many of Jim's songs didn't get much airplay here in the UK, even though 'Time in a Bottle' and 'I'll have to say I love you in a song' were minor hits. I heard 'Lovers Cross' on the John Peel radio show late one night, listening under the bedclothes when I should have been asleep! I was too young to have the money to be buying LPs, and probably too young to really understand the lyrics, but the beauty of it knocked me out, and I never forgot it, even though I didn't hear it again for decades ... You'll love it Harri! Please listen, you'll be so glad you did!

    For someone who died so incredibly young, there is an incredible depth and variety to plumb. His songs were so varied, his tone swung so much from absolutely silly fun to social commentary to worlds in-between, and then again to love, and then back again to spiritual things at large ... there was so much really there but also so much left to give ...

    For me, I got that reaction from my late mother. Being her first child to purchase property. The satisfaction in her eyes patted my on the back and her half grin of approval was enough to let me know how proud she was of me.
    She was basically a single parent to 5 kids. Struggled profusely along the way. A life long renter. I think I made her feel good which made me feel good.

    I love Jim's story-telling voice and "lived in" face - both so real and a testimony to the man himself. But this song in particular has a line you'd never hear anywhere else ... "if you're going my way, I'll go with you" (NOT: if you're going my way then you can tag along with me). Very different meanings I think regards human connection and self giving.

    From a visual artist, I've got a song, if it gets me nowhere, I go there proud.

    The use of this song in Django Unchained was perfect. The message, the cinematography, everything- perfect. It's worth looking up that scene on RUclips.

    Jim Croce was a marvelous singer/songwriter. My fellow and I sang them all.

    The song _was_ in the movie. Around the middle when the two main characters were traveling across the country. I remember because I shot up in the theater when it started playing like someone called my name. 😂

    I'm glad you had the reaction you had to this. He wrote what he was thinking about and did that very well. RIP Jim Croce. He was and is missed. We lost a voice of reason when he passed
