1st time I ever heard this song. Such FeelingI love it. I konw exactly how it feels to loose the one you live. It happened to me 20 years ago. I still miss here every day. This just a simple guy who believed in one life and one love. Oh well
She should have been much bigger. Loved her work with Art Garfunkel and thought she would be big as a solo. Still, love her work that we have access to.
Ask what is the American dream, Route 66 embodies the American dream, it's spirit, hardship, and hope, as well as the people that make it. A good portion of American history lies on that road, such as the first McDonald's or the 66 Drive-in Theater, still in business. It isn't just a road, it is the route that has binded America together.
@@planetfox2266 It is such an unnatural title, obviously no one wants to watch anyone cry nor be watched crying over a lost love. Either such self pity or cynicism are simply cringe worthy. A better title would have been "Leave Me Alone, Leave Me Alone"... I just wanna cry. Cliche, but at least believable. That said, Leah is such a remarkable singer (along with a great melody) she makes the pathetic conceit of the song almost believable.
There is such a thing as Irony, however maudlin. Leah was apparently the tragic subject of James Taylor's Her Town. That brilliant, relatable, moving song invites real tears.
@@planetfox2266 Thanks. I'll check it out. I love sad songs; I have every Joan Baez album, Queen of Tragedy, it's just that this song sounds so great, but that title just grates.
Was this released as a single? Sounds like it could have been a soft rock hit on the radio back in the day. She looks and sounds like her legendary sister Mama Cass.
Here I am, wiping away tears as I type this. I grew up in a small industrial town in New Jersey, with all sorts of factories and tree-lined streets. Now the factories are either warehouses of imported goods or vacant, and many of the trees have been cut down for wider streets.
The song, the pictures. A time that was, perhaps, a bit slower and a whole lot steadier. If you like this as much as I did, do yourself a huge favor and go rent the video CARS. You will love it. May have been the best thing I've seen in the theaters for years. You'll laugh -- and you'll even shed a few tears!
i guess this was the last of the good old day's. how times have changed. seems like in just a blink of an eye! wouldn't it be nice to have just one day like it was then.
