Don McLean - Castles In The Air (Live In Austin)

[@robertrussell9336]

Don McLean has secured a magical place in our music history and we love him for his gift to us. A gentle giant in the music world.

[@voulafisentzidis8830]

Lyricists like Don McLean, Cat Stevens, Gordon Lightfoot, Jim Croce, Gilbert O'Sullivan, and so many others from the 60s did precisely what art is supposed to. It got us thinking and questioning. Still listening 60 years later.

[@lee-annebarrett366]

Still listening. I can say that songs from Madonna or Michael Jackson or any of today's singers havent brought me so much enjoyable. . They had stories to tell, with brilliant music. They bring back memories from my younger days.

[@steviejohn9502]

Saw Cat Stevens 50th Concert I was glad to be alive to see alive to listen

[@excellenceinanimation960]

Neal diamond.

[@mannaandmonsters]

David Gates is another one!

[@MrVasmikey]

We don’t have this kind of writing genius any longer. I’m afraid it’s gone forever.

[@Stevn8er]

I'm hoping against hope there are still a few remaining out there. Must admit, it doesn't look good at this time.

[@xiropigado]

vasmikey yes but we have so much magical music from those incredible fruitful years to listen to and to feel over and over again.

[@mackhopper]

Absolutely uninformed and presumptive horseshit! I’m pretty sure Don would respond the exact same way!!!

[@MrVasmikey]

@@mackhopper you have just illustrated my point! You use the words presumptive and uninformed and mixed in the word horseshit! I rest my case.

[@mackhopper]

@@MrVasmikey oh, that certainly proves your theory. Hayes Caryll, Jamie Cullum, Ben Fold, Aimee Mann, Tom Waits, Vic Chesnutt, Bruce Springsteen, Stephin Merritt, Sufjan Stevens, PJ Harvey, Jeff Tweedy, Nanci Griffith, David Dondero, Regina Spektor, Et al. prove my theory and position that the genius of songwriting has never been stronger, intelligent, or poignant. But, you have to actually get off of your ass and listen to these artists in order to discover this yourself. I, um, rest my case

[@fritzcat6198]

Beautiful, beautiful man. I want to go back to my youth and listen to his beautiful music again.

[@lynne0528]

My feelings exactly!

[@agayager9500]

How ironic Don McLean gets old but his masterpieces remains young to people's hearts. ❣️

[@benjaminandersen5921]

Your the best singer i will ever know

[@benjaminandersen5921]

I was the second to like :D

[@ulyssesparado2743]

McLean Legend......a fave singer of my youth......he is an American treasure! Long live Don!

[@tamaraann8473]

One of my all time favorites!

[@joaobatistacaveira8328]

Agradeço a Deus por estar aqui aos 70 anos ouvindo essas músicas que me embalaram na juventude. Obrigado Deus.

[@voight-kampff3611]

Love the orchestra ... every tone so smooth and elegant. The harp introduction at the start lifts the song from the very beginning. And the piano ends this song magically. Life is perfect for a little while. Thank you.

[@charmicarmicat2981]

Americana at its finest. Don’t get much better than this. It’s a big country and it’s good for your soul to leave the city

[@raycastro7720]

Don McLean change growing up in America for me

[@hersonconceicao241]

Realmente são canções que nos eleva a uma esfera especial da "realidade". Ou outra forma de encará-la. Sublime!!!

[@DuxburyDan]

Don McLean, I really enjoy this song. I do not know what you musically call it, but I love the way you change the delivery or the tone of your voice (????) on the last word of many of the lines. (TOLD YOUuuuu/CASTLE IN THE SKYyyyyyyy etc....) ❤️ IT..

[@inesabn4344]

I love this song! It hás helped to heal myself sinceramente my 1st divorcie...followed by the 2nd... Only Tonight the Full understanding has come! Thank you Donald It worth another try each time I come to hear you!

[@randalcolucci6833]

Don, love you man. I know your heart as I align with your spiritual vision of the world and how you interpret it in your music. This song is awesome, but Crossroads is so powerful. One of my favorites.

[@nancipiresdealmeida5537]

Maravilha, nascer viver e morrer, com a mesma voz doce e linda❤

My Fave Don Song Saw Him Just this week live glad to be ALIVE

[@edwardfraser8264]

One Dons best songs..I love his original version on his Tapestry album more...however this is still a nice version

[@lyndamcardle4123]

I agree, the fast B-side is best ....however, he does a superb version on his 1976 live "SOLO album where he segues this with "Three Flights Up" which is really superb !

[@vlastadofek9251]

I wish they playing more his song on radio.he is so great I love his voice !!!!!!

[@rrl4245]

I adore the first line - Brilliant lead in!

[@viccozhang5299]

I love you😭

[@fritzcat6198]

ME TOO!!

[@danitenco6563]

Meu querido Don, como eu te amava!!😢💘😢💘

[@msprofs]

Ué... Mas ele está vivaço e cantando muito bem ainda. Pq deixou de gostar dele? Rs

[@susanagoncalves6327]

Toda vez que ouço essa bela música lembro meus tempos de infância......há algo especial nela.....ela mágica como as imaginações de uma criança....e inocente e nostálgica....Deus nos traça alguns destinos que no caminhar deles alguns capítulos são atemporais!!!!! Isso me remete ao passado, vivo o presente e sinto um futuro que se cruzam em melodias que vieram dos céus!!! I love you Don 😍❤️🌹

[@emuna6680]

This is one of my favorite songs!

[@melaniehosny4811]

[@jorgereis1089]

A essência de sua voz,continua intacta, o seu carinho e respeito ao público também, a condução da canção está sem animação,como estava em estúdio, mas sempre será o cara .

[@mariadefatima1649]

Amo todas, as suas músicas.

[@giovanaarrieche8395]

Dom McLean marcou minha adolescência com suas canções inesquecíveis 🥰❤️

[@pamelagriffith3506]

Amazing as usual. I haven't been lucky enough to see you in concert yet and at 59 I hope to see you at one soon! I learned guitar at early age playing by ear because of greats like you. Question: Did you ever meet Johnny Cash?

[@melaniehosny4811]

That's my motto

[@Grace-ml2sq]

😇GVB❤

[@lee-annebarrett366]

When people wrote songs with stories that ment something.

[@ricardovaucher5559]

The voice is a litlle bit delayed from the rythm of the music, but still sounds great !

[@derSpuk]

Only in the beginning

[@voight-kampff3611]

An accurate observation. I guess this is the way the song matured with him over the years. He controls it so elegantly. The rhythm is perfect for my ears.

[@Keith-h5i]

I'm sorry I know Don McClain is best known for "American Pie" but this song is just as good.

[@marybria2695]

Dee dee dtd 😂😂💕::::::::::::::::

ask what is life?, well, its not like a question that was not poundered before? nature not wanted, natural beauty of the lands is lost, when one cannot see the land left for the environment, your habatats, I lost someone long ago and still looking why>3 was it for>3? dear Lord

[@jussaraleme8264]

a voz a mesma, alguns kilos a mais, muitos drinks a mais... precisamos separar o gênio intérprete, gênio que escreve uma música e uma melodia incrível, do ser humano que falha... nao somos perfeitos e não esperemos perfeição de ninguém! Mas, mulheres...nao tolerem violência doméstica

[@OSOUZA2008]

Música linda, mas ele excedeu no contratempo. 😢

[@LowDeath23]

You are messing with the phrasing too much... :( But i love you still.

[@breezeman5348]

Not only a genius in composing his music but also many hits. This is one of my favourites but I do wish artists would stick to the original version of songs. Anyway, that's just my two cents worth is all.

[@dave327ful]

Sad song.

[@marymac2754]

I wonder who ‘the girl’ was…

[@youtubercriscolombo3793]

Me too. Poor girl.

[@marbat1000-]

🇧🇷 2024?

[@charliebadger]

Never understood why Don slowed this down for the second recording he did of it. This version is even more bizarre as he seems to always be a bar behind in the vocals to the chord changes. Still, it's a brilliant song :)

[@wordtaylor]

That's not an accident. He does that on purpose. Have you ever listened to someone read poetry who knows what they're doing?

[@markwellendorf3949]

So I just noticed the same thing. I get that artist like to do their own thing, like Sinatra's phrasing, but this was awkward.

[@graemeyetts3465]

He just phrases it differently

[@voight-kampff3611]

It was on the edge, but so much controlled. It made the song go well with the music. Love it.

[@onnietalone3181]

>3 yes when one starts to understand that all were planed with the stars, yet we have lost our way, when you make that property line no longer pencil thin thick and go after the Sun itself,,,,,the sacrifice it took means nothing>3 sharing the rain is not worth it, feeding the clouds is no longer possible, because you will not be straight up!>3 when God himself would not understand your logic!

[@gilbertodavila8781]

Hi Don! Fantastic Castle in The Air version...!!!! I got my version too...check It Out!
