Giving It All Away - Roger Daltrey - I was just a boy

Heard it on the radio today, composed by Leo Sayer & David Courtney. This performance by Roger Daltrey really hit a chord with me after missing what it had to offer when it was first released in '73

[@fmj9346]

Stunning. I am crying. 68yrs now and what a wonderful time it was. My 4 lovely children, now adults. What a shocking world we are passing to them.

[@Mr61Denzil]

Legend , I was born in 61 remember all the classics how lucky we was ,

[@rod8566]

i 62 and greatfull lol

[@douglasmartin2840]

Brings tears to my eyes. I remember my oldest brother turning me on to this in 1970 or 71. Turned 10 in 1970 turned 20 in 80 God I was so lucky to have lived that time in my teens.only the lucky ones go to our grave with those memories

[@conanhayle]

I,m 75 now and does the same for me , PS I was 23 in 1970 OH WOW,,,,, life passes so fast!

[@conanhayle]

[@annefinlayson6021]

Douglas Martin, such great sentiments, we were a lucky generation. ❤

[@Mr61Denzil]

Best version is him and Leo singing it together ❤️

[@juliewillard1367]

Leo Sayer wrote this great song.

[@isolatedmusictracks1966]

Leo Sayer and David Courtney wrote it, Adam Faith produced it ---CAN YOU BELIEVE it failed to even chart in the USA?

[@trevorford9432]

You can just hear Leo sayer singing it but Roger puts his heart & soul into it, it's one of those songs you just have to play more than once.

[@robertlong2288]

This was made for leo sayer

[@user-ex3ke9oz4s]

I saw him ( Leo) perform this in London last year 🙏

[@johnnynewton1277]

Great vocals, we should all cherish the great singers of the 70's, like us they're getting old

[@danaehamling3666]

[@raychambers3646]

There is a duet of this song with Roger and Leo , absolutely brilliant .

[@jeffdewan3068]

First time I heard this song was on a Sunday afternoon at uncle Churches house in 77’ went outside for a walk in the rain on cherry street. I’ve never felt so calm since ❤

[@willmeredith3303]

A vague memory of this line & the song came to me from my boyhood a half century ago this morning. I'm glad it did. I think it's the story of my life.

[@colinrunciman5166]

Your comptely right like all good songs, they tell story!

[@starwood213]

[@100Noddy]

I paid all my dues so I picked up my shoes, I got up and walked away. Oh, I was just a boy, I didn't know how to play. Worked hard and failed now all I can say is I threw it all away. Oh, I was just a boy giving it all away... sail away, sail away, ooh, I know better now, I know better now giving it all away ooh, I know better now, I know better now I've given it all away... Went out in the world too much for my nerves only myself to blame. oh, I was just a boy nobody else to blame... I've done all I can, now it's out of my hands stand on my head and say oh, I was just a boy giving it all away... sail away, sail away, ooh, I know better now, I know better now giving it all away ooh, I know better now, I know better now given it all away..

[@willmeredith3303]

[@broomy42]

It reminds me of going in and out of prison at a young age then I was in my cell and someone must of requested the song to be played on the prison radio I remember standing there looking out of my bard windows and this song came on it brought tears to my eyes because it reminded me of my life if that makes sense i never went back prison I haven't for 15years but I'd never forgotten this song
