“And I need you more than want you / and I want you for all time”....the greatest line in a song

Ditto, it's a simple line but it's so deep. There's not a second the lonely lineman didn't think of his loved one, and it touched me deeply.

It was 1969 and this song had already been a hit for months. I was living (stationed) in San Antonio, Texas and dating a girl attending college there in the city. My best memory of her is dancing to this song at the House of Sir John Falstaff at Hemisfair Plaza. Great Song!

It was late December , 1968, this beautiful ballad was played over the sound system of just about every airport in the country . Military personal in uniform were everywhere coming home on leave for Christmas or shipping overseas to Vietnam ..... a time long ago .......yet still rings true today . Everytime I hear that opening bass lick .....it brings me right back there , sadly reflective.....

I was in 8th grade in 1972, and this song was al over the airwaves. It was soo beautiful, Ive always loved it. My mother was a Huge fan of Glen Campbell and played this record over and over on our stereo record player!! I didnt mind as I loved it then, too, but even more now.

I've seen many versions of Glen singing this live, but this has to be one of the best ones. I also love how his Ovation guitar is just precariously perched on a stool for him, and he straps it on and starts singing just in time. Nowadays, you'd have a crew of people just to put your guitar on for you. I'm so glad I was able to see Glen on his final tour - true talent lives forever, and Glen's will always shine for us.

There is more to why people like this song than they think. It goes to the good in the core of men. Wanting a woman. Working a productive job, missing her, but keeping the lights on for many who don't know they depend on men like him. What is sad now-a-days is that popular culture is dominated by loud-mouth feminists who have no idea what they are trying to destroy. And that is, men, who's only want is a good woman. For all time. Good luck everybody, and to the Church Studio channel for bringing this back

There is a lot of truth in what you say, but it also must be understood that until modern times, women's lives were not in their control and they were often expected to play roles that placed limits upon them. Imagine a young woman starting out in the forties, getting a job with one of the big and relatively new airlines, where she becomes one of the first *female* radio operators (now known as air traffic controllers). She loves her important work, and is even on the cover of a national radio magazine, shown at work as she is directing a pilot for landing. She becomes a celebrity and gets letters from admiring men all over the country, and she's only in her early twenties! That was my mother. But what happens? People everywhere *disapprove,* including *her parents and siblings.* When is she going to become a real woman, finding a man so she can produce children for him? Eventually, she does what everyone expects her to do, and leaves the job, which is filled by a young man. She marries a radio operator, and they have four children, but as much as she loves them, she is not happy about the surrender of her own life goals in order to fulfill the "requirements" imposed upon her. Modern society has attempted to right this wrong, but along with that effort, much has been lost. Many of these feminists you speak of have never learned of a wonderful feature of old, which was the unwritten *social contract,* some of which you highlight in your comment. It needed to be adjusted somewhat as we modernized, but the need men and women have for each other is a vital part of any good community, and it's sadly true that many have no idea what they are destroying along with the outmoded and restricting roles previously expected of them. I wish my mother had lived a happier and more fulfilling life.
