This song was popular when I was going thru my teenage years of angst & heart aches. Later as a messed up young adult I found that God had not deserted me but I Him. I made the decision to give Him my life instead of throwing myself down from that tower. 46 years later I have a most wonderful life.

I think I was at same age, but I was impressed with the Acoustic guitar than anything else, and so I saved money by working part time and I bought cheap guitar, and it broke the first day and that was the end of my love for learning how to play guitar. My parent could only afford food and nothing else, but anyway, fast forward, when my son was 10, I remembered my shit and I decided to buy him expensive guitar and I enrolled him in musical lesson. Three weeks later he dropped the class, and he came to me, and he was like um oh ah dad this is not my thing.

Mountain Fisher, you're not alone! I cannot imagine your intense pain. But I want you to know I'm so very sorry for the agony you're going through. Please know you'res not alone in your pain. I haven't lived the same circumstances as you tragically did. I'm 57 yo. Lost my very Godly mother in 2014. She was full of faith and the prophetic for the end times. I sincerely believed she would have been kept alive to see them come to pass. My faith in God and His Word is still strong, yet the part of it that I shared with my mother has been smothered and disillusioned to a degree. Please pray for me. P.S. My whole heart goes out to you for the loss of your beloved son. To all who are reading: It doesn't matter if you have one son or twelve sons. No parent ever contemplates losing a child before their own death. Its not in the natural order. I'm sure it's like losing a part of your physical and emotional body. I have only one child and one grandchild. I live for them both. Continuing the conversation, regarding the manner in which they are taken from us, I can imagine determines how we process our grief and resolution unto God for forgiveness and healing. For instance, if it was sudden, like a drunk driving car accident or an incidental shooting. Preventable to a degree, and definitely worthy of fleshly hostility, therefore requiring a great manner of grace and healing for forgiveness.. Cancer, Covid, etc; time to prepare, but why me/him/her? And why to a seven year old?! When we resolve to read, and absorb God's Word that we live in a fallen world, where "..the sun shines on the just and the unjust." This is scripture. God Almighty is just and sovereign in everything He says and does. If you don't have the patience to read anything else in the Bible, Read a NIV of Genesis and Revelations. It is an eye-opener of God's plan for mankind.

I always say this about songs, you can hear it a thousand times but then hear for the very first time. Blew me away. The utter honestly in the lyrics. The lay out of the song, the unusual break to acoustic guitar half way to 3 quarters through. I’m still mesmerised every time I hear it. When I do hear it in public it always makes me stop what I’m doing ❤️

It happened to me. I remember when a very close family member would listen to this song back then and I watched her listening and later on she committed suicide. I think about that every time I hear this song. But I still listen to it

He used to live in my home town, and brought his mother a lovely home in a smart area. He used to come home to visit and stay with her. Saw him walking back from the local pubs to her home. Could have stopped my car, but just waved instead. Think that was more appropriate, and he gave me a lovely happy to be recognised wave back. His mother died a few years back, and her things were being sold off. I met his sister when I purchased a few items, and was shown round the home. Ray's bedroom was the smallest at the back of the house, with the view of the wonderful back garden which was backed by woods and fields. However his room was empty by then, as was most of the house. His sister told me he still used to come back to visit right up until his mother died, and used to stay in that little room. Nice man, just a shame his manager was a crooked greedy ahole, as Ray would have given Elton real competition.

Wow! What a sad song! Man! I loved it when it used to play on the radio and never realized how depressing it was.

This song is a killer as far as emotions go. Even if you don't know what the writer is writing about, there is still the mystery story that haunts you.

What a sad song. I remember it from when I was a kid. It didn’t bother me then. But now as an adult having lost loved ones It’s exceptionally painful.

Que hermosa cancion solo otra vez, es natural, cuando se le. Canta al amor surge lo mejor del ser humano. Yo la disfrute mucho. Esta música de los 70as, los de nuestra generación, nos toco escuchar y ver lo mejor de la música, y del respeto al ser humano

I recall hearing this so much on the radio back in the day - heavily played. Never knew what Gilbert looked like until all these years later.
