Gentle Giant - Think Of Me With Kindness (Official Audio)

[@mikereiss4216]

RIP Ray Shulman. I will think of him with kindness.

[@ignaciogarciablanco3995]

You saw the IG post too? 😅. Ray was the best.

[@isaacyure]

Just discovered this band and can't stop listening

[@leonardoD81]

I also just discovered them. Not sure how I managed to miss them all these years as I was and still am such a fan of progressive rock music

[@profk3742]

thats my experience with Gentle Giant as well

[@renepeterse1884]

Join the club, welcome

[@cosmicdrifter287]

I Had the same experience.It"s a sign your music taste is developing and blossems.

[@guidenredhawk]

welcome all to the Giant! I really got into them some years back. I recommend looking at some earlier Kansas and Camel, both are also great IMO.

[@jackcalligan9183]

Saw them live in 1974 or 75 at the berkley CA high school auditorium (seated about 1000 people) Nobody else ever even came close

[@aynrandy1]

The Most Underrated Band in rock history

[@lucasanibaldi9791]

One of the must beautiful songs in the history of music.

[@stewartaubel3842]

I love this song so much! After my 20 year marriage ended I couldn't listen to it without sobbing for about ten years. I still love the song though.Very poetic.

[@Antonella-cn8rl]

.... The laugh that love could not forgive, Is gone and tells no more to live, And we who look in beauty's love; Must now, through all, look back on before The tears that I first cried, no more; Your love has come and gone, no more And we who look in beauty's love Must now through all think back on before Sleep while the sweet sorrow wakes my daydream Sleep while you think of me with Kindness, please remember former days And you know, and you know And you know, when we two parted in tears and silence Past the days, the parting ways Fare thee well, fare thee well, you That was once dear to me Think of me with kindness Think of me

[@kentborges5114]

Many years of enjoyment from this band ! Thanks for posting the lyrics.

[@paulswietek4059]

This is one of my favorite songs... so beautiful! Thank you!

Amazing isn’t it👍

[@aginulfo]

I am now 62. I was used to listening to GG in the 70s and in the 80s, and although I loved their music, I did not have in those days the wiseness to fully understand the greatness of their compositions. After so many years I asked myself which of their song would be my favorite one and I realized that "Think Of Me With Kindness" is most definitely the one I'd choose. I would put it inside my favorite playlist with the other songs "of my life"

[@liviacabral8006]

Kerry Minnear's voice is so f... perfect!

[@c0nk2879]

I wish more people gave you guys the praise you deserve... much love from the USA❤❤❤

[@ChristopherMorss]

You'd be amazed at the influence they have had in the prog scene and music in general. Many regard them to be the best band to ever come to existence.

[@lanfrancojelo145]

When you read of GG the most common Word is "underrated" bit they was a corner Stone for all musicians

[@johnellis9077]

I know this probably a break up song but playing it since my old man passed away, hits me right in the feels.

[@PaoloPerini-e3k]

This album is a work of art❤❤❤

[@Bernd_OK]

RIP Ray Shulman. We will do exactly that.

[@oolongoolong789]

Poignant song by Gentle Giant. One of their best.

[@drbassface]

Such a Beautiful Song. Once again with heartbroken lyrics, hoping a girl will still treasure the memories. Trouble is, when they move on, they move on. Kerry is such a talent!

[@giuseppemanca4278]

Ogni parola non rende la bellezza di questo brano!

[@franciscojavierrodriguez8236]

[Verse 1] Why am I using words No more to say without you Close the door, put out the lights and go [Verse 2] Late at night, in the night Your shadow falls between us Nevermore, I'll never know [Pre Chorus] There, memories are sorrow When there's no tomorrow [Chorus] Sleep while the sweet sorrow wakes my daydream Sleep while you think of me with kindness Please remember former days Sweet the song that once we sang That silent parting ways And you know And you know [Verse 3] And you know, long ago When first we made our promise Empty words, I wonder did you know [Bridge] The laugh that love could not forgive Is gone and tells no call to live And we who look in beauty's love Must now through all think back on before The tears that first I cried, no more Your love has come and gone, no more And we who look in beauty's love Must now through all think back on before [Chorus] Sleep while the sweet sorrow wakes my daydream Sleep while you think of me with kindness Please remember former days And you know And you know [Verse 4] And you know, when we two Parted in tears and silence Lost the days, the parting ways [Outro] Fare thee well, fare thee well You that was once dear to me Think of me with kindness, think of me

[@frankhoulihanfh4972]

A profound piece put simply, to put it simply.

[@kingd8232]

Recently learned the french horn solo in this song is actually a mellophone, a kind of french horn usually only used for marching. Found it pretty interesting, just further goes to show Phil Shulman's immense talent

[@JamesPrater-p1w]

It's not a mellophone. It's a valveless trombone (bass trumpet). The mellophone is a close cousin to the French horn. 😀

[@kingd8232]

@@JamesPrater-p1w I wasn't aware of that! I was going off of the official sheet music from GG's website, which has that solo written out for mellophone. Do you have a source for the bass trumpet thing? I'd like to read up on that

[@JamesPrater-p1w]

@@kingd8232 I wasn't aware that you were going by their site. I was going by the sound of the instrument itself as an arranger/orchestrator of thirty-plus years. The source I refer to regarding the bass trumpet is Samuel Adler's THE STUDY OF ORCHESTRATION. 😀

[@thomassicard3733]

Almost finished with my trumpet/cornet arrangement of this masterpiece. Thank you, GG and company.

[@thomassicard3733]

Finished. It's great. I love it. Yeah, no voice, no lyrics... but I know them - and enjoy my trumpet interpretation. FUN!!!!!

[@thomassicard3733]

Much English/British music blueprint on this one. Beautiful.

[@internetenjoyer1044]

someparts of this songfeel so unique but also so familiar, as if they're from a famous well known balled thats seeped into the culture, but i cant think of what and if it's just the the effect it has on me

[@aergiaflexed3116]

Part of it is reminiscent of the theme song from The Magnificent Seven. Compare the part that first comes in at :43 with kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6bPnpqKmKx_kNk at :21

[@Hellyeahray21]

Yeah, it's like the bittersweet slightly cliché song you'd hear during the credits of a nostalgic 80s/90s movie

[@karlbecker8906]

Even more poignant, now that Ray is gone.😪

I dont know of a bad pop song which has French Horn.

[@AnalogTrust]

Is a mellophonium, not a french horn neither a mellophone!

[@meshelnoori383]

i wish i didn't feel/ know the meaning of this song.

[@thomassicard3733]

I'm transcribing this and recording the whole shebang with trumpet(s) for vocals. SO MELODIC AND AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!! Well, maybe cornets and trumpets - cornets are SO SWEET. A cornet should take the 'lead' vocal. Yeah? Sheesh... maybe NO trumpets, although I have a super fat and rich sounding Bb trumpet... Hmmm....
