This song was adopted by US Vietnam veterans as their anthem.

I'm 65 now and was happily married for 30 years. She passed away back in 2014 and this tune has always touched my heart and like it says the world may be a sad terrible place to live but I don't want to die yet. I hope it won't be too much longer before I meet her again but I don't want to die. Bless us all

We who were lucky enough to grow up in the 60s and 70s were treated to the best songwriting and performing the world would ever know. Reflections was among the best of the best. Dean Ford's vocals were so clear and spot on. Also, you have to love Junior Campbell on the guitar. There's even a place in the song (2:52) where he plays some chords backward. It is one of six songs I would have to have with me on a deserted island. All good wishes!

Dean Ford the vocalist did a version of this with Joe Tansin a few years ago. He has passed away now but that recent version is hauntingly beautiful. You can see it on youtube

This song touches your soul in many ways. It is my favourite all time song. 'The world is a bad place, a bad place, a terrible place to live'. That has been my life experience. I am 70 now but somehow this song fills me with hope. Thank you for reviewing this one. God Bless.

Marmalade are a Scottish pop rock band from the 60's. "Reflections Of My Life" was their biggest hit. They also did a version of the Beatles' song "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da" which was very popular. Other songs were "Baby Make It Soon", "Rainbow", "My Little One", "Cousin Norman", "Radancer" etc.

In the beginning, you would have a piece of good, clean toast, and on it you would smooth butter and beegees. After a time, people replaced the beegees with marmalade. And it stuck...at least until eaten.

To me, most of the music back then was just ear candy, because that's how I listened to the radio back then. If the song was deep that was just a bonus. The music and vocals were always enough for me, and the lyrics were least important. Nowadays it's mostly backwards, and probably why it lost its feel for touching one's soul.

Watch your reactions with pleasure from the U.S. Another great pop song from this 70s era is Michael Martin Murphy "Wildfire" - specifically the live 1986 video with the Rio Grande Band. I think you'll love it. Also, "Please Come to Boston" by Dave Loggins - another gem from the 70s and finally, Roberta Flack "First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" - here is the link.. kzitem.info/news/bejne/xW6VzICra6ujg2k&si=WwrxDWJsgvUXl5Xt Thanks for playing and enjoy.
