I for one never thought the 70’s sucked. And as time passes my appreciation for that magical decade only grows stronger.
The 70's were the best and the worst. "it was the best of times. It was the worst of times." C. Dickens. Great music. Great times. Solo Beatles, The Who, Jethro Tull, Traffic, Rolling Stones, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Motown, Superfly, Curtis Mayfield!!!!!!!!!! I'd get psyched alone in my bedroom lights out with Led Zeppelin before high school basketball. We went 19-4 in 1972, and man, what a time.
One game, we were behind by 3 with a minute left, and I dribbled the ball of my right sneaker. The radio announcers, all two of them couldn't believe it. Me too. We lost. I cried. Friends picked me up in the yellow VW microbus with Schiltz and Hashish. Fifteen minutes later.... "Hey, I'm ok now, guys!"
"What, me worry" A. Newman
This song pops in my head often. One of my favorites. I was 6 when this came out. I wish we could all go back! Get in that Time Machine and get the hell away from this evil time. Go back to a simpler, safer, better time. Who's coming with me???
I can remember hearing this song on the radio all the time and it especially reminds me of when my family took vacations! Sitting in the back of a station wagon in the mid 70's when I was a child! Precious memories! I'm now 53.
What's a station wagon or a radio u speak of 🤣🤣🤗🤗 just kidding, have a great day
Along with Boz Scaggs and Lido Shuffle
@@jayjallette1657 This is way better than Boz Scaggs - no disrespect it is down to our own oppinions, but this is a different level
@@petercouz Not better or worse; both are excellent songs which typify the 1970s.
Same age, and yes it takes me back to the simple and dreamy 70's.
We were allowed to be children.
Remember how much we thought the 70s sucked and looking back just how great the 70s were, the music, the innocence, the parties just a great time compared to today it was heaven.
Yes, we had the best music, cars, fashion, hair.etc. in the 70's
70s were awesome!! 80s sucked!! Personally for me anyway lol
It's wrong. The 70's still suck. After listening to complete popular music of 60's I must confess: 70's music was boring to death. Be glad you survived.
So thankful I grew up in the 70s. LOVED them!!!!
The "suck" seventies included but are not restricted to: The Rolling Stones, The Who, Allman Brothers, The Doors, Chicago (with Terry Kath), Yes, Elton John (pre-pop), Eric Clapton, Moody Blues, Small Faces, The Band, The Grass Roots, Toto, Ambrosia, Emerson, Lake and Palmer, America, Deep Purple, Sugarloaf, Earth Wind and Fire, and LED ZEPPELIN, et al. I am not sure the seventies "sucked."
I was born in "67"and I cherish every memory Ive had of being a little boy in the 70s to being a teenager in the 80s and we all took it for granite because none of us knew how the world was gonna change and not for good. I'd go back in a minute
Brian did you grow up in Racine? My brother Chris hung around with you. Our name was Haines
Oh what a lonely boy, he took for granted that “granted” was a kind of rock.
@@algomaone121 I tried not to laugh
We were the last generation that had an attachment to great American ways
@@user-ih7wb7uh2w Many still are
'65
This song has a really underappreciated guitar solo.
It's Sid McGinnis... he would become a major hired gun. Had already played for Barry Manilow, Peter Gabriel and Robert Fripp. He would eventually be in Paul Shaffer's band on Late Night With David Letterman but also playing for major artists everybody from Linda Ronstadt, Paul Simon and Carly Simon to David Lee Roth, David Bowie and Dire Straits.
@@jeng3000 - Thanks. Good info.
Subtle and masterful - the same approach as G. E. Smith when he played with Hall and Oates!
God the 70s is hands down the most glorious decade of music of all of human history…
The 1570s weren't bad. Really, look it up.
Well except for the 1950s!
I'm so glad that I was born in 1961, best life ever ❤
Me too Cathy
@@carol.luna.stella1965 for me, but still a great life.
59’ here and you are right!
1966 For me and yes it's the best :)
1961, what a great time to join the human race...
Killer live performance. Andrew Gold was such a huge talent. Amazing artist
He was one of the few singers that did not improvise during his live performances. His singing sounded almost exactly like his recordings. RIP Andrew.
Well,, he didn't hit the high note at the end like the record, but what you mean is that he at least always tried to reproduce his recordings fiahtfully as much as his voice would let him. He may have had an off-day on his voice or an illness. We all get them.
I grew up in the 60s and 70s and this music reminds me of the best times of my life.
Andrew was truly Gold!! A super talented artist who made other artists become their best.
Sadly Andrew passed much too young, Thanks for the great music.
A sad song and such an amazing tune. Andrew Gold was truly ahead of his time. Love his music!
This song was played recently in my local radio station. Im born in 1998 so hadn’t the chance to experience the great decades of music first hand, but being able to listen and discover so many gems is actually kind of fun and enjoyable. Definitely one of those occasions, where Im baffled why this song isn’t played more frequently in radio. :’)
Can’t ever just listen to this just once. It slays me. The perfect ballad.
One of my favorites too.
Hi Marilyn my name's Aaron and I live in WA State
Its not even a ballad
@@JCStorm76 A ballad is a story, as far as I can recall. This is is a linear story, wrapped in a song.
Agreed! True test is the goosebumps test..Every time I play this(too many times I have) I get goosebumps...very few songs have that impact...ronstadt's you're no good does that to me too...check out multi talented Andrew's guitar lick on that too...way underrated gem
This song got me through some tough times as kid . Thanks Andrew 😊
Me too!
@@rickster100100 great song . Great times 😄
Me too.. I just rediscovered it and love it all over again. Bittersweet 🥲
Me too, sang along to it many times with my 2 brothers.
@@m.hbliss3732 well at least you found this gem of a song again 😃
This multitalented, unsung, musician shaped the lives of many prominent singers in the 70's (James Taylor, Carly Simon, Jackson Brown and countless others). He was unfortunately taken away from us way too young. Lonely Boy is a unique, progressive-for-it's-time, musically complex, and touching song released in 1976, and has been featured in many movies. Many people can relate to the heart breaking sibling rivalry, and stark, painful, individual loneliness potrayed in this song. There hasn't been another like it.
😲 There is a sibling in almost every family that has deep rooted problems because of parents that are dysfunctional!
Especially when parents baby and spoil the first child and the child thinks he/she thinks the buck stops here!
😳This song was 24/7 over and over on the Radio even when I changed radio stations it was playing again, made me 😫 sick!
@@mikecozzi1040 Interesting perspective.
Brings back memories.....
@@jodylancaster8706 Definitely.
Linda rondstat
I’m glad I was born in 52 I got to see everything 60s and 70s best time ever to be alive before cell phones and the internet
Andrew Gold was one of the great allrounder musicians, who can sing, write songs, and play different instruments on a high skill level.
His work should be more recognised, he should have deserved much more attention and higher commercial success because his projects are simply amazing.
His mother and father as well. Amazingly talented family.
He had some commercial success in Europe and England.
He had songs used for TV shows.
This song is as slick as the song Galveston. Where you can’t find the one, the first beat.
The drums sound like ska and it has the classical bit too.
I woke up this morning with this song going in my head so I found it on RUclips. I forgot how good it is.
@@georgeredhawk1996 He wrote "Thank You For Being A Friend" which became the theme of The Golden Girls. So he's immortalized; people just might not realize it's his song.
@@pauldecoster different people said that he helped other people get famous or popular but when it was his turn he was older and his time had already went by.
I remember back in the day, I used to get Andrew Gold mixed up with Walter Egan.
That summer 1977 was a great summer too.
Zoom me back to the 70s I will be ready in 3 hours 😁, if only I could 🙄😍
They don't make music like this anymore, just plain and simple. I used to thin this kind of soft rock was awful but as I get older I realized how well written and performed they were
I always loved it. Back then though it was almost a guilty pleasure. Almost 😉.
Amazing how much clarity a few decades in the rear view mirror gives us. I was the same way.
No doubt, same here
I've always liked tune. Adam Gold made a story our of a song. awesome
Andrew Gold*
My brother was found dead today. He was 3 years older than me. This song was released when we were kids. I always felt he was a lonely boy. This song breaks me.
Prayers and healing for you. I'm sorry for your loss.
@@bridgetm4711 thank you ❤️❤️
How are you getting on these days? Sending Peace
Recently suffered similar. This ain't about me. It's a sincere message to you.
I'm sorry you're feeling the pains of loss that you're currently feeling.
May Your Rest In Peace
This track is excellent, the musical arrangements are top notch. Andrew Gold magic.
This song is absolutely rock solid. Great tempo, and the composition is just complicated enough that it always stays fresh. Classic volume cranker!!!
His dad was a composer🎶🎵
@@coreyzimmerman9782 ...and I think his mom was a Broadway level singer.
My husband and I were both born in the early and mid-60s. We were talking about this song no more than a week ago! We just sang along with it, together, and much gusto!!!! Thank you for this!!
Born in 67 and fell in love with this song in the 80s.
Born in '65, loved it when I was little too.
Love it don't remember when I first heard it I was so young! Damn! Miss it
Born in the fifties…
Me too
One of the greatest songs of all time.
True my friend..
I do agree Mr. Jason.
It absolutely is
One of my favorites. Takes me back to my youth, riding in the backseat of Momma's car listening to the radio in the 70's.
Absolutely. No doubt about it.
I was 9 when this came out in '76. What a great era!
Quality music is eternal.
What a time to be alive!!! Time and time again I find myself in the 1970’s and the music 🎼 I grew up listening to!!! My God how I long for a time that life was so much easier and a lot less stressful when you knew what it meant to have a true best friend and not a e-mail!
I can't believe this is 46 years ago. I was 18 and in college. Such memories of the 1970s.
I play a lot of stuff like steely San at gigs regularly. That’s music you have got to play and sing with your entire brain. But it’s not nearly as demanding as this song. Once you finally get your hands and mouth cooperating it’s like heaven in your heart and soul. Having said that, I cannot imagine how Andrew must have felt upon writing it!!!! I never tire of performing this song and the audience always Eat It Up. Old and young, hip and square, Right wing and left wing, gay and straight, it never fails to raise the energy and smiles.
I never realized how complicated this song is to play and sing at the same time in the verses. Vocals start on the beat and the piano rhythm is on the up beat. I know it's not the hardest thing in the world, but it is one of the things that makes this song great! I love that off beat stuff.
I kno nothing about music but recognize its intricacies only now after decades of hearing it.
Syncopated beats and the smoothest rock could have created this
@@Userxyz-z2d f
Andrew Gold was a gift to the world 🌍
Don't forget that the band has to keep from wanting to push that quirky offbeat feel to the downbeat.
Such a great song, Andrew was so underappreciated for his talent.
There is so much to this song, it's incredible. What deliciously devious rhythm, and genius structure. Brilliant performances from all concerned.
This song was in my mind partly because I hadn't heard it for years, and I remembered that I loved it back in the day! It still sounds so good!
Magic! So many happy memories. And brilliant musicians.
This is such an amazing song. Nobody writes music like this anymore
i think every human being is lonely in their individual suffering: aging, unfullfiled dreams, loss, etc. No matter how much we are loved, we must go through life "alone" as in our own life and the mortality of life.
It’s why we have the internet when we can’t find friends out in the world
The only other place is online
Yes, Veronica. Live life to the fullest without trying to hurt anyone and hope/pray for the best. No one’s getting off the blue water ball alive. God bless👍
It’s tough being a human being, isn’t it?
@@mauritiusdunfagel9473 Yes. Just trying the best we can, knowing our time is slipping away and it will soon be over
Very good
Loved this song as a kid. Was listening to it on the drive back home today and couldn't help but think: "What is this kid's problem?"
Born 1951, sister born 1953, so he was 2? So hurt and neglected that he leaves home when he's 18. Seems he had a pretty good childhood.
Right?! Very odd lyrics, IMO.
Being an unwanted child is an extremely painful ordeal. I know firsthand from experience. Those that have not seen or experienced this tragic situation cannot possibly understand what that does to a person! Just try to imagine what it would be like to be sitting in your room & hearing the rest of your family talking and laughing in the next room & to know that if you tried to go and join in you would not be welcome. In fact you'd be mocked, tormented and terrorised until you couldn't take it anymore & left. And that was the very least of the lifelong trauma that was inflicted on you. There are countless other things being done to traumatize you with even the parents joining in. Most people don't even know that these kinds of things happen every day. It becomes all you know and flavors every single relationship you have. It can emotionally damage you to the point where you can't have a good relationship because you don't know how to engage with people that are not cruel and vicious. That's all you've ever known so you don't know how to have a normal relationship with someone. This is part of the reason so many people are in abusive relationships and stay. We just don't know any other way! It's so sad! Any kind of abuse is horrible but there's a special place for those that abuse children, especially when it's their own! It is awful to realize how horrible this really is and the fact that it's just another day for them. It's just truly one of the most heartbreaking things I've ever known! I'm glad you had no idea since that means you were not abused in that way! I'd never want anyone to feel as devastated as I am! But please, now that you know, try to be supportive of others that are trying to deal with this kind of thing. If nothing else, please, be kind! It could be the only kindness they have ever had. Thank you ❤
"...And he set out to find all the love he had lost in that _earlier_ time."
This is pure gold.What a song the memories the times were the best.Blessed to grow up in the 70's.Only comes around once.Makes songs like this special.❤
I don't know why but for the past few weeks this song has been playing in my head at work. I love it.
Andrew Gold died exactly ten years ago today on June 3rd, 2011. Rest in Peace.
😩
😔🙏
☹️
I hope he’s having a wonderful journey. 🌅🌈
RIP Andrew died way too young💔
Thank you for brightening up my childhood.💕
June 29, 2024. I not only remember this song & Andrew Gold...but, I also saw him & his family years after on Family Feud with Richard Dawson. He even mentioned that he was a singer.
I was looking up the Golden Girls song and landed here. LOVE Andrew. I was born in '58 so a bit older. I am a musician keyboardist and I so appreciate his talent and song writing. Gone too soon.
@annelewis2945. I watch the Golden most days. It's on Irish tv. Absolutely brilliant tv show 🇮🇪🇨🇮
The songwriting, the musicianship, the performance, the energy is bar none. This was made in the era of great music that lasted through the 80s, sputtered in the 90s, and eventually died in the insipid booty call nonsense of the 2000s.
Problem today is we don’t have singer songwriters as good as this guy the 70s was my era Andrew Gold was the best RIP
All the hacks nowadays have their songs all pre-written by someone they maybe never meet. They show up to the mic and "sing" into it and leave. The engineers then electronically manipulate it to death until it's just soulless crap. They then scrape in the hundreds of millions.
Sorry mate the John Evans you replied to isn’t me. But I have to say I agree with everything you put 👍
A timeless masterpiece by a gifted singer/songwriter himself: Andrew Gold. This is the type of music that keeps me moving, and never gets me bored. I could play this over and over. This "Lonely Boy" track hit the top of the charts in the '70s. It became one of the most frequently listened to songs on the radio at the time in 1977. This very special song brings me back to great memories. What a great singer Andrew Gold was. God bless him!!
Andrew's musical prowess and surname fit him. Gold.
I love Andrew Gold. Absolutely brilliant xx
A song with a beginning, a middle and an end, perfect in its delivery, so underrated, but a classic.
you can never underestimate the impact that music has on children. They are so affected by it. I remember being three years old and having a vague sense of what this song meant. Children will try to unravel ANY mystery to understand the world. I wonder if kids today have the same opportunities to develop their imaginations and sense of wonder in a way that really allows them to be kids and retain their innocence... I don't know...
@@julyanpercival I have many memories like that of songs that creeped me out as a kid. I understood why once I got older. That's definitely a creepy song 😊... Sometimes I think about what my intuition was telling me about my own life etc through certain songs...
Back when music really was great❤
Amazing song, lyrics and performance Absolute Perfection Rip Mr Gold 🙏🙏🙏
Such a great song. Thank you Andrew
Boogie Nights brought me here. I love Julianne Moore and Mark Wahlberg, and love this song too.
Yes me too
“Wear what you dig”
Yes me too altho I was grown when this song came out. I love that whole soundtrack- memories!
I just paused the movie to listen to this song. So many memories as I grew up in the 70's.
One of my favourite artists from the 70s. Gone too soon. What a talent.
I love Andrew Gold's songs. May he Rest In Peace!
This is majestic. Lovely performer. Bits of Let it Be on the piano. Pure vocal, nothing added. Real talent. Sad its so long ago
One of the first songs to leave. A lasting impression on me ..still love it all these years later ..
Heard this song on AM radio this morning. Been in my head all day, and now it was just posted here!
Awesome
AM radio still exists ? WOW
@@1HUFFMAN it’s mostly news and talk radio 📻
@@auxmike718 👍
FM,..no static at all!!!
Andrew GOLD is .... GOLD ... spectacular musician, great tempos and lyrics, GONE way too SOON.
I agree! My best memories were in the 70s! We are in a state of decline. I’m preparing for my 70th birthday party which is tomorrow and making my music list which is mainly 70s. Have a tee that reads “ it was better being twenty in the seventies than seventy in the twenties.”
Most songs from the era use a melodic riff or repeated lyric as a hook, but Gold created a totally unique hook with the unrelenting syncopation in the verses. It's both disorienting and infectious. Love it!
THIS!
Really tough song for the guitarists (and the drummer!) to keep up with. But wow, what an arrangement. Great voice too Andrew
one of my all time faves never tire of it ❤
Luv this song! Just heard it again on wabc770am with Sid Rosenberg. Looking up at their studio east 49st, NYC while getting my daily coffee.
Double enjoyment ❤
This man was such a musical genius!
The more you learn about the collaboration with Linda Ronstadt and others, he was truly a renaissance guy who died too young.
Absolutely
underrated 70s classic
One of the best songs ever. One of the best guitar solos in history as well.
The 70's were truly special. Ending the the war in Vietnam, becoming a stronger nation and blessed with the best blend of music from all genres. How much better we were.
Beautiful memories (1977) 🥹🙌 Andrew... RIP 😢 ❣️ Greetings From Argentina 🇦🇷👋
Best years ever so much ❤ still living up to my time 😎
I love Andrew. Not just his music. He was born on a summer day, Aug 2nd 1951. Same as me. LOL. He says the song was not autobiographical, only that date, and that he had a wonderful childhood. Now he may have had the 2nd greatest mom of all time. She was probably the most famous movie star, YOU NEVER HEARD OF. Yes, Marni Nixon, was the voice of Maria in West Side Story, Deborah Kerr in The King and I, and Audrey Hepburn in My Fair Lady. She was TREMENDOUS. And to think she was in labor with my mom. hehehe. Want my autograph? lol. Seriously though, I love Andrew's music, and as was said, he was an awesome influence and helper of so many other talented people. I miss him, and thank him for being my friend in such an obscure way.
I LOVE THIS SONG!
This poor man fought kidney cancer and ended up dying of heart failure in his sleep. Tragic and too young
Oh no 😢. Didn't know this 😮
One of my favorite songs of all time from and amazing album! R.I.P Mr. Gold.

I was born in 1970. I remember riding in the car listing to my mom sing all theese beautiful songs. Cherished memories!
Lovely.
Lovely song.
Lovely tune.
Lovely memories...
Interesting structure of the song.
Reminds me of Harry Nilsson.
ThANKYOU for sharing.
Brilliant connection!
This (live!) video reminds me of Michael McDonald's killer live performance of Only a Fool with the Doobies live in '81. Really tight band, heavy syncopation, complex chord progressions, and singing at the same time. Amazing work. There were some amazing live bands in the 70s. War is another great one.
wow.... and this seems to be 100% live too !! thank you so much for posting this !!
Great Singer! Gone to Soon. Rest in Peace Andrew, your songs brought so much love to those who loved your music. Thanks for being a Friend! God Bless.
I haven't heard this song for years, about twenty five years, I had forgotten what a great song it is, and what a talent Andrew Gold was! There's such a good melody and rhythm.. The lyrics reflect so much understanding and compassion!
Great live version of one of my favorite songs ! 👍🥃🍷🚬
This song reminds me sitting alone at home after school on the Hopi reservation. My stepdad introduced his favorite music 🎶 to me. He was the best thing that ever happened to me. Ross Joseyesva my dad. R.I.P.
Even though this song is mainly about the one "lonely boy", I think the final verse is the most important one of the song, where it talks about his nephew being a lonely boy as well. The theme of the song is that there are lonely men in every generation, and it just keeps going on and on, while most people ignore it. The cycle continues...
Andrew Gold is definitely one of the most underrated singers and musicians of all time!! The man definitely has talent!!
Absolutely love this song, so well written
