Why have I been early so late ... why have I not been there ... why do I have to carry on life knowing I will never see this magic with my own eyes ... life has become futile :-(

when this came out ,i was a teenage boy in a lonely place , detassling cornfields. i only looked forward to coming , going into garage and listening to this on a little panasonic portable cd player , with headphones where only one ear worked.

i watched ants in the garage running in lines building things fighting back tears

:(

Though sad, also cool as shit to me that there was some random kid finding solace in cerberus shoal in between cornfield detasslings -- gives me faith in music.

I haven't heard this song in years, but this takes me back. I don't really know why I'm typing this whole wall of text, but here it goes. November of 2009, a guy I had a crush on asked me to be his gf, and I accepted. Let's call him J. I thought he was amazing, and for the first few months, he was. I was only 15, but I was convinced I was in love. And it was great until J graduated from high school in May of 2010. That was when his parents decided that a relationship with a high schooler was now inappropriate. He and I would find loopholes and see each other whenever we could. My parents found this new behavior sketchy, so he and I pretended to break up, but were still dating in secret, the only ones knowing being my best friend and his sister. September 2010, and he began college while I continued high school. Seeing him in the old church every Thursday night became the highlight of my week. Around the end of September, he made the bold move to come see a play I was performing in. After the play ended, he and I ran out into the alley behind the theater and kissed while it was raining, and I didn't even care who saw. It's unbelievably cliche, and probably something you'd see in a movie, but my adrenaline was surging. He was like a drug to me. After that night, things only got worse. A few people saw us, and word got back to both of our families. I was grounded for a month, and even after that I was rarely allowed to hang out with friends anywhere other than my house. I had to block and delete his number, and we didn't talk for almost two months. Fast forward to November 2010. I joined a local volunteer group and so did he. I could tell he was glad to see me, and we got back together again, this time, no one else but us knowing. But something was different about him. He had a hair-trigger temper now. He seemed way more stressed. But me, being ecstatic to even be around him again, I tolerated it. Late November, things started going south for me, too. I was getting migraines and my vision was worsening. I went to a doctor, they did an mri test, and found an abnormal lump in my brain, near my left optic nerve. December 3, 2010. I lied to my parents about going to study with friends and snuck out to see J, saying I had something important to tell him. I told J that I had a brain tumor and it might be cancerous. He broke up with me mere minutes after I said this. I was so angry, I couldn't even cry, and went home with a stoic expression. Thankfully it wasn't cancer, but I had to have surgery and spend about a month in the hospital. But then, in August of 2012, I got a phone call from a number I didn't know. I ignored it, but I was left a voicemail. It was J, apologizing for everything with so much detail, and then asking me if I'd be willing to come see him. I'd be lying if I said I didn't cry and even contemplate taking him back. But I called back, and said no. He left me during the most difficult time in my life. He hurt me so badly that I couldn't feel anything. I couldn't let him back in, because even after all of the happiness he brought into my life, it was dwarfed in comparison to how much pain and sadness he brought. We haven't spoken since. Now I'm starting to wonder how he's doing. I wonder if he still regrets what he did back in December. I wonder if he thinks of me every time he hears this song.

This and "Smiley's People" are like food and drink to me at this time in my life (age 70 and alone). They fill an empty place in my soul few, if any, movies could. A million thanks.

This was one of my sissys favorite songs. She was an awesome person but cancer took her way too soon. I miss her terribly and so do her children.

My Grandfather is in the late stages of dementia, he doesn't remember any of his family, barely anything; yet he sings this song and this song only over and over again, word for word. It's so lovely to hear, brings me to tears.

Cela me rappelle, lorsque mon fils m'aimait. il chantait cette chanson avec le conservatoire de Fontenay sous Bois

(This reminds me of when my son still loved me. He used to sing this song with the Fontenay sous Bois music school)

K (~4 yrs old) will sometimes say to me when I have the guitar "I want you to play Freight Train because it makes me so sad." When I play it, she will then bawl. <3 :`(

what song?

"A Boy Named Sue"

Uploaded on Mar 24, 2011
The first time I heard this song I was on a balcony while a typhoon was coming into town and a potted plant fell off and smashed in the courtyard four stories below my feet. I smoked a cigarette which lasted the exact length of this song, and as the rain came in I felt at peace with the weather.

Not surprisingly, much heartbreaking commentary here

20 years ago today we lost my dad to suicide. I was 21 when I had to get the police to break into his house and I had to identify his body. He always used to play this song every weekend when he took me and my sister to his local pub to play pool. Miss him still x

When I was 20yrs old just gave birth to my second son abandoned by my husband, there stood children service trying to sign away my baby for adoption, he was a beautiful baby, child service had a social worker who wanted him bad, my sister played this song knowing how much I listened to music, I gave her the paper back said I can raise my kids, now grown up, he is a wonderful Christian, good father, husband&son this song woke me up, i am so glad that my sister played this, I grew up that day

Last one on first page cracked me up though, perfect closer:

I am a 72 year old granny whose 39 year old son had a massive heart attack and died May of 2010. I just found this CD with about 10 different songs that he recorded for his library in 2002. So, I thought I'd listen to it to see what songs he liked. This was one of them and I gotta say I kinda like it as well. Very nice. Now, I'm off to hear My Father's Eyes by Eric Clapton. My son was Charles Douglas (Doug) Pruitt.

something odd about the way she says his name... gets the feels stirred up.

the dignity of it maybe

also very poignant the way she is on this journey through his song library to try to feel a connection with him

same age as me too...

There's a lady in my building who lost her son to a heart attack around that age and also lost her daughter to alcoholism. Husband just went into a home. Reminds me that we've been saying we want to have her up for coffee some time, nice woman and lonely.

That said, I hate it when people are referred to as William (Bill) Newman or James "Jimmy" Sanders.

I was about 6 or 7 when I would play this game with my older brother. We spent hours achieving as much as we could in this game. because of this, I have always wanted to be the hero like the one we played in the game. unfortunately, my brother has passed, and the world isn't as magical as this game. or at least it isn't, yet

the one man alive posted in May last year made me well up.
