27 yo black man and I love this song

This song still breaks my heart but I got my son to give him a taste of this great song

i've always like this song it takes me back to my days as a dee jay at KNOT radio in prescott arizona. rip harry chapin

Don't want to be political but if dems win 2024 be prepared to teach your kids to duck and cover because the bombs will fall like rain from all enemies of "u.s."

Define aura:

Genuinely amazing movie and Davy Jones is one of my top 10 villains oat

I miss him so much. I'm 70. Was lucky to see him in nyc Rip harry

I was lucky too see harry perform in nyc shortly before he was killed. We were so poor we skipped meals to buy good seats. I cried when I heard about his death. I'm a 70 y/0 male. Still miss his stories. Rip harry

Oh great message

The way light interacts with skin is apparently quite hard to render in a way that looks convincing, Davy Jones being wet means you don't need to do that, that could be another reason why it looks so good.

😂 I was too awkward to ever be anyone’s “girl that got away”

Glad a millionaire made millions off what we everyday workers do to just keep a roof over our son's head.

Soundtrack to JONATHAN THE BEAR.

Did anybody realised he starter with Maher's Tottenfeien?

This is a song that will never grow old.

A man, guitar, and amplifier. How small that auditorium must have felt. Oh, how I wish I could have been there.

I will never tire of the wonderful music this man gave to my life. I miss you, Harry...

1:07 Will’s face like “how did you up in the state you’re in??”

My son does better by me than I did for my Dad, I hope he does better by his kids than I did for mine.

Colin Firth should play him

Did he ever write his own fucking music? Just asking

Me 2024

Harry Chapin - America's greatest storyteller. Nobody did it better.

I think I am remembering this correctly. I have a memory of his performing this song on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. At its end, the audience just sat there in rapt silence, no doubt many tears dropping to the floor. It was stunning. Not the usual entertainment pablum.

Ok- so my dad played this song for me as a little girl - he didn’t have a son - I think he knew what was going to happen, and it did. He constantly apologizes for not being there for me but I wasn’t hurt at the time, but can tell it hurts him. It hit me the other day that I regret not seeking him out more to hang out with.

Some times I miss songs like this my dad and we're close gone 19 yrs now lost mom 2 yrs ago 💔 these type of songs just bring good memories now 😅

This song can bring the toughest man to tears if you really listen to the words...

I knew I shouldn't be chopping onions while watching this video.

Might argue, A Better Place to Be, is his best song but who cares really, both bloody brilliant.

I played this song over and over for years , still as powerful for me now as it was when I first heard it. I am now 64 and it still moves me.

u know he means when we die

can i say no one

My dad and i were so close. But he passed unexpectedly at the age of 39. I was 10. When i hear this amazing song i feel so sad. Not because my dad didn't spend time with me because he was always there for me until he wasn’t.

i heard this back in the 70's during jr high live

Greatest song ever really hits home

2024.. loo love you pops i know i will not be ok when i listen to this song one day

if anyone could make me feel the feels, its harry

This is truth in a song… it really is the Story of a Life

Gatos no Berço Meu filho chegou outro dia Veio para o mundo da maneira comum Mas havia aviões para embarcar, e contas a pagar Ele aprendeu a andar enquanto eu estava fora E ele estava falando antes de eu conhecê - lo E enquanto ele crescia Ele diria: "Vou ser igual a você pai, Você sabe que vou ser igual a você" E os gatos no berço e a colher prateada Menininho azul e o homem na lua "Quando você vem pra casa, pai?" "Eu não sei quando, mas vamos ficar juntos, Você sabe que vamos nos divertir juntos" Meu filho fez 10 outro dia Ele disse: "Obrigado pela bola pai, Vamos lá, vamos jogar Você pode me ensinar a atirá - la?" Eu disse "não hoje, tenho muito pra fazer" Ele disse "tudo bem" E ele foi embora, mas seu sorriso nunca desapareceu Disse "eu vou ser igual a ele, sim Sabe, vou ser igual a ele" E os gatos no berço e a colher prateada Menininho azul e o homem na lua "Quando você vem pra casa, pai?" "Eu não sei quando, mas vamos ficar juntos, Você sabe que vamos nos divertir juntos" Bem, ele chegou do colégio outro dia Como um homem, eu tive que dizer "filho, estou orgulhoso de você. Pode sentar um pouco?" Ele balançou a cabeça, E disse com um sorriso: "O que eu realmente queria pai, é pegar emprestada a chave do carro, Te vejo mais tarde, posso tê - las, por favor?" E os gatos no berço e a colher prateada Menininho azul e o homem na lua "Quando você vem pra casa, FILHO?" "Eu não sei quando, mas vamos ficar juntos, Você sabe que vamos nos divertir juntos" Por muito tempo estive aposentado E meu filho se mudou Liguei pra ele outro dia E disse: "Eu gostaria de te ver se não se importasse" Ele disse: "Eu adoraria, pai, se pudesse achar tempo" Vê, meu novo emprego é uma m****, E as crianças pegaram gripe Mas é com certeza bom falar com você, pai Tem sido com certeza muito bom falar com você, pai E quando desliguei o telefone, Isso me ocorreu, Ele cresceu igualzinho a mim Meu filho era igualzinho a mim E os gatos no berço e a colher prateada Menininho azul e o homem na lua "Quando você vem pra casa, FILHO?" "Eu não sei quando, mas vamos ficar juntos, Você sabe que vamos nos divertir juntos. Cat's in the Cradle My child arrived just the other day, He came to the world in the usual way. But there were planes to catch, and bills to pay. He learned to walk while I was away. And he was talking 'fore I knew it, and as he grew, He'd say, "I'm gonna be like you, dad. You know I'm gonna be like you." And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon, Little boy blue and the man in the moon. "When you coming home, dad?" "I don't know when, But we'll get together then. You know we'll have a good time then." My son turned ten just the other day. He said, "Thanks for the ball, dad, come on let's play. Can you teach me to throw?" I said, "Not today, I got a lot to do." He said, "That's ok." And he walked away, but his smile never dimmmed, Said, "I'm gonna be like him, yeah. You know I'm gonna be like him." And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon, Little boy blue and the man in the moon. "When you coming home, dad?" "I don't know when, But we'll get together then. You know we'll have a good time then." Well, he came from college just the other day, So much like a man I just had to say, "Son, I'm proud of you. Can you sit for a while?" He shook his head, and he said with a smile, "What I'd really like, dad, is to borrow the car keys. See you later. Can I have them please?" And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon, Little boy blue and the man in the moon. "When you coming home, son?" "I don't know when, But we'll get together then, dad. You know we'll have a good time then." I've long since retired and my son's moved away. I called him up just the other day. I said, "I'd like to see you if you don't mind." He said, "I'd love to, dad, if I could find the time. You see, my new job's a hassle, and the kid's got the flu, But it's sure nice talking to you, dad. It's been sure nice talking to you." And as I hung up the phone, it occurred to me, He'd grown up just like me. My boy was just like me. And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon, Little boy blue and the man in the moon. "When you coming home, son?" "I don't know when, But we'll get together then, dad.

so much emotion in this scene......
