In a Tonight Show interview, Harry Chapin said that he originally wanted to attend the US Air Force Academy. That was where he was going to learn to fly. Harry was a great storyteller. Treat yourself by listening to any of the songs already suggested by others below. "A Better Place To Be" will make you cry. "Flowers Are Red" will touch you as a Mom. "I Wanna Learn A Love Song" is just a little naughty. "Tangled Up Puppet" is for those of us with daughters. I often sing "Mr. Tanner" in the shower or the car to exercise my voice because I feel like his alter ego.

[@badplay156]

She wasn't an actress. She married a rich guy and was ACTING happy

[@asherdash12]

Right. The word play is so cool in this song. In the first song he wanted to be a pilot but got into drugs and was FLYING high in the taxi

[@damonmusselman406]

Chapin was a lyrical GENIUS, and this song let that ability SHINE.

[@herbarndt1819]

I have never heard this song before. I didn't even know there was a sequel. Thanks for playing it.

[@MrJohnTeacher]

He was now a successful singer, killing time before his show. He though he'd look her up to kill time.

[@hueman3840]

Poor Harry - I met him in the same small venue (Stonehenge) in Massachusetts where I hung out at the bar (on different occasions) with an unknown Bonnie Raitt & Ry Cooder. Harry was kind, friendly & real..... Died in a traffic accident 10 years later (1981).

[@aroldoavila6452]

Que buena melodia

[@kj320175]

A Better Place To Be- Harry Chapin Is My favorite song of all time I even have lyrics tattooed on my forearm from it And to me Harry will always be the greatest singer songwriter storyteller of all time

[@johnsecrist3513]

sue was a girl friend growing up her name was clare mcintyre she was the inspiration for this song

[@chrismoye666]

Try from Harry Chapin "A Better Place to Be".

[@tomstein1557]

I've heard that a hundred times, at least, but I still can get lost in it. I was listening a few years ago, when he came to the line: "You know that waitress / she took her bar rag / and she wiped it across her eyes". I thought: "Waitress? Where'd she come from? Oh ... yeah ... right". I was so caught up in the story, I forgot the watchman was telling his story to the waitress!

[@joans5953]

Such a touching story

[@andrewnybbod236]

I wish Harry had lived to write another sequel.

[@glennred4830]

i had these records back when only a telephone at home was the ONLY communication in the world. Thanks to FM RADIO starting in the 70's, more longer songs got airplay time.

[@bierce716]

After all the years since I first heard it, I cried again.

[@damonmusselman406]

Circles were a recurring theme in Harry’s music; he closed all of his shows with a song titled “Circle”; first verse: “I feel like I’ve been here before; Just can’t remember when. But I got this feeling That we’ll all be together again. There’s no straight lines Make up my life, And all the roads have bends; There’s no clear-cut beginning, And so far, no dead end.”

[@sanjonn]

So glad you enjoyed this one. It, Taxi and W.O.L.D. are my favorites of his.

[@billyrags1]

She wasn't happy in the 'footlights' quit that life and became a waitress. I think Harry Chapin was one of the best songwriters and storyteller. I just wish I could of seen him and his band perform live. RIP

[@melissagerber7231]

Er, I don't think she was a waitress.

[@alanpeterson4939]

You have to do Mr. Tanner by Harry Chapin.

[@JStarStar00]

I saw HC play about 6 months before he died. There was a power outage before the show so his band sat around and played an "unplugged" set to the crowd of a few hundred. (Somebody brought in a bunch of cases of beer -- enough for everybody to have one.) Then the lights came on and they finished up with their mikes plugged in. After he did "Taxi" and then "Sequel," he joked he would probably write a third chapter in about 30 years which would end with them riding off to the retirement home -- or the funeral home.

[@asherdash12]

Woohoo I've been waiting for this.. I'll always remember that address

[@timstroup3039]

The line "I thought about her as I sang that night and how the circle keeps rollin' around" is a reference to his other song "Circle" which he expresses his philosophy of life.

[@sandyhagen9155]

Love your reactions to Harry’s songs. If you haven’t done it, can I suggest his final single release, “Story of a Life”

[@ChrisB-xm3mg]

In the first song, she had gone off to chase her dreams of being an actress. She had become an actress and married into wealth, but she wasn’t happy. He wanted to be a pilot but ended up settling for being a taxi driver. In the second song, he’s become a rockstar, and she’s giving up the wealth and fame of her acting career to go back to a life of much less means but she’s actually much happier with the way her life is going. So they initially were chasing dreams that turned out to be not what they really wanted, and in the end, they’ve achieved what they didn’t realize they truly wanted in the first place.

[@JStarStar00]

Harry Chay-pin.

[@tahfaa66]

I really love all your reactions, especially this one. You’ve got a good head on your shoulders!

[@shawnminnich7273]

Harry Chapin...I wanna learn a love song

[@bobfleming7665]

I see you have reacted to a few Harry Chapin songs. Please react to What Made America Famous. It's a great song and I think it is very timely as it seems America has forgotten what made it famous.

[@Defmusicman1]

I’d love to get your reaction to Norman Greenbaum’s “Spirit In The Sky”.

[@rhinehold4268]

What Made America Famous (Harry Chapin) is one I would love to see you react to. I actually have like a list of 20 or so songs by Harry that are all wonderful and sad and poignant...

[@kyleizdabombify]

Listen to i wonder what would happen to this world. It's a much happier song than a lot of his other stuff. And it has a church choir vibe. Great song. And one of the lines is on his tombstone

[@barbaramelanson3912]

I never heard this. Good choice!

[@carllmack2287]

@india no, this is about trying to find what you had only to realize that it can never be again. Speaking from experience revisiting an old relationship is like read a book over again, you know how it ends. You can try to revisit, you can try to rewrite chapters, but in the end the story doesn't change. Too many times I've tried, every time the same results.

[@MadameRaven1]

I’d love to see you react to “Old and Wise” by Alan parsons project!

[@chrismoye666]

Dear Madame Raven, Have you ever heard "If I Could Change Your Mind"? Its off their Eve album sung by the late Lesley Duncan. Its one of my favorites and its beautiful. I'm the one who gave you the thumbs up by the way. Love your choice.

[@MadameRaven1]

chrismoye666 I have not!ill have the to look it up. They had such a way with emotion in their songs. Thank you, so much.

[@chrismoye666]

Yes they did. Might I also suggest "The Eagle Will Rise Again" off of Pyramid. We lost a great voice when Eric Woolfson passed.

[@georgeboder5047]

You should check out 30,000 pounds of bananas live by Harry Chapin

[@colincampbell5967]

ole Harry should have patented "the Sequel" seeing that we have wall to wall sequels these days

[@rickeyrod99]

This is Hall of Fame stuff hands down what a storyteller why you just feel him sitting in that cab I have a similar story of a beautiful woman I was dating at the time she was a doctor I had not been established yet ... I still run into time time ... Only time will tell

[@melissagerber7231]

Frankly, I got that she was a Lady of the Evening.Thats why she worked at night, and, he tried to leave her money. She didn't want to take it from an old friend.

[@michaelnorman3393]

Harry can break your heart. Master storyteller 💕

[@douglaslewis866]

India, she was a kept woman on Park Lane. She was living the life as a rich mans woman. Finally he grew bored with her and he gave her the boot. She ends up aas a house keeper.. She finds herself because to her the life may not ful of riches, but it is an honest living. Remember she said she works at night. He wanted to give her money because he knew she could use it He knew she had pride so that is why he did not push her going to the concert. She as content with her life and She no longer could bare any more drama......................at least that is my take

** "TAXI" Original Manuscript. ** THE AUCTION ON THIS VERY-SPECIAL ITEM ENDS @ 7PM EST TONIGHT! (June 18th, 2020) - PRICELESS FOR ANY HARRY CHAPIN FAN. ---- It breaks my heart to have to part with it, but I am auctioning a special piece of history for any Harry Chapin fan -- a hand-annotated typed working draft of the lyrics for 'TAXI,' with Harry's changes written in ballpoint and pencil throughout the manuscript. It's also accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Sandy Chapin. As a huge fan of Harry and "Taxi" I've played the song hundreds of times during my live shows and purchased the manuscript from Harry's estate 5 years ago. The best part of the experience was getting to speak to Sandy Chapin. Priceless for any fan of the man himself.

[@jwdhawkeye]

I have so waiting for this review. Thank you.

[@richgoebel882]

I wish you had listened to part 1 before doing this reaction. Not only is there a continuation of the story, there are so many parallels between the two songs. One example, in Taxi, Sue says, "Harry, Keep the Change" In the Sequel, she says, "Harry, you're right" with the exact tone and emotion. Harry died tragically soon after Sequel, and had he not, he probably would have produced a third part. I learned about Taxi after I had first gotten to know Sequel, so I have a different reaction to those who think this song should never had been written.

[@darktruth2358]

She did. Search for that video. She knows Taxi.

[@richgoebel882]

@@darktruth2358 Yes, I know she did Taxi. I commented on that reaction video that when she gets around to doing Sequel, she should listen to Taxi again right before, to get a better reaction out of Sequel.

[@donaldleider7382]

Damn it Harry... just marry her!!!

[@victorbradshaw9624]

He had become famous and chose a taxi to take himsorry

[@andrewnybbod236]

He isn't a taxi driver anymore.

[@corvus1374]

I love this song.

[@chrislucas9098]

Awesome, Thank you.!

[@damonmusselman406]

She didn’t become an actress; she got married, and was unhappily so. Thus she was “acting happy, inside her handsome home”... She had apparently left it behind.

[@danielbruns7055]

Another we lost to soon. RIP

[@keithallison4586]

Listen again you misunderstood the song he made it as a singer and shes on the down and out

[@JStarStar00]

She's not down and out, she's living her own working-class life and is ok with that. She tried being married to a rich guy and it didn't work for her, so she moved on to something better.

[@Widda68]

I never knew that there was a sequel to Taxi. I do wish that there wasn't one. He did such a great job on the original he should have left it. As it was. Maybe he needed more money. I don't know but the quality is not what it was in the original. Sadly he died shortly thereafter another one in the prime of Life brought down. That was sad

[@tomhiggins875]

Harry Chapin was a great humanitarian who gave 1/2 of all his earnings from 200 to 300 concerts a year to charity in an effort to eliminate hunger. ''Harry always said one concert for himself and one for the other guy. " He co-founded World Hunger Year, now called WhyHunger. After his death, Chapin's widow was quoted as saying, “Harry was supporting 17 relatives, 14 associations, seven foundations and 82 charities."

[@thomasleonard1625]

The "Sequel" reached US #23 on the Hot 100 Chart in Dec 1980 and the album sold roughly 500,000 copies (Gold Standard) in its initial release.

If one were to rank them, I believe "Taxi" is better.

The version I remember of Taxi is completely different. It was not as long and has different lyrics.

This sequel is not as good a song as the original. This one seems forced.
