I always loved this song as a song to my significant other. Then I had a child - and jesus, it ain't a song to a lover, it's a song to your kid. The whole meaning/impact of the song changed for me

[@randypion5803]

Definitely worth checking out more of his music ,he was a great song writer and talent. Great voice,another one who was taken way to soon.

[@markd5067]

I grew up the same time as Jim Croce and was an avid listener of his music. When he died it hit me hard to the point of shedding tears....and still does to this day every time I hear Time in a Bottle...

[@thomastimlin1724]

I am a musician...in high school the news got around the next day and many were in tears, like a favroite relative had been taken from us too soon. Now no one weeps when another school shooting has happned unless it is their school. Sick.

[@wildwestreviews4622]

A very talented musician that was taken away too soon and it's a damn shame because he didn't live long enough to enjoy the success he spent his life chasing and got. Great reactions!

[@lilmizzcraftypantz846]

My parents were married and this song played at the reception. My daddy dedicated it to my mama. They just celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. Life is beautiful and the world lost a great singer way before his time...

[@stephanieclark9849]

*Jim Croce songs you MUST check out .. "Operator", "I Got a Name", "One Less Set of Footprints", "Photographs and Memories" and "I'll Have To Say I Love You In a Song" to start.*

new yorks not my home is another

[@johne7345]

Like Mozart, he crammed a full musical career into a highly compressed lifespan.

[@monickalynn4365]

Jim Croce got a raw deal. Dying just on the verge of his art,talents becoming world wide well known and respected

[@deborahdennehy9937]

A definate beautiful song of his. He had written this song the same year he died in an airoplane crash, extremely sad. R.I.P. Jim

[@geraldjensen6831]

One of the finest voices and storytellers of our times taken from us far too soon...

[@arthurrubiera8029]

Please understand that he was a man of his word. He died after his final performance at a high school that he made a commitment to years earlier. He was going to retire when he got home and teach and write music for others, but the plane crashed…..

[@robertfindley921]

Buckle up! Jim Croce is *real* music. *Real* talent. *Real* lyrics.

[@paultrosclair1775]

Song is about how he was always on the road trying to make a living for his family because his manager ripped him off with a horrible contract. So as a result he had to work himself to the Bone just to put food on the table. Because of that he hardly ever saw his family. I'm a truck driver and I know what that's like.

[@sixslinger9951]

the real beautiful thing is, the son who he wrote this for travels the country singing his Dad's songs and has voice almost just like his Dad's.

[@zedwpd]

Croce wrote the lyrics after his wife Ingrid told him she was pregnant, in December 1970

[@obliv3on]

you guys are some of my favorite people and reactors on the entirety of youtube, needed this one today!

[@cadifferentreactions]

Wow, thank you!

[@scottdarden5808]

Awesome I haven't heard that for years. Thank you

[@Tesses0927]

Nice reaction. "Tears in Heaven" by Eric Clapton is a sad song based on his son. Also, "Cinderella" by Stephen Curtis Chapman is a song, like this one, that was written before a tragedy, but almost prophetic.

[@defrozendonut8715]

Perfect song to listen to when your breaking your dad out of the pentagon

[@AGDinCA]

This was my wedding song. 💜💜

[@akshayraj3967]

This song was originally set in a merry contemplation of his love but ABC refused to release it as a single. After his death ABC decided to release it as a single (a dick move IMO) and became one of his great hits . What makes it sad is the fact that this beautiful song was supposed to be released when he was still alive but it wasn't.

[@davidmarsden192]

He wrote this song in 1972 after his wife told him she was pregnant with their first child. He died (tragically) in a place crash in 1973 (aged 30).

[@mustafeezulhaq9315]

Nice reaction guys. Good song

[@JStephs1950]

I know it's a matter of personal interpretation, but I think that assigning some sort of precognition of his death to this song is a mistake, because it gets in the way of understanding the depths of love that it expresses - not in anticipation of death, but simply in the realization that time is fleeting and you can never fully engage all the emotion one has when overcome by love. You have to work, to sleep, to do chores - you can't spend hours you want to just to be with someone. Yes, it foreshadowed his death, but that's an after-thought. I simply doubt it completely that he was considering his early demise, however ephemeral that thought might be, in writing this song. It's all about love in a way we can all relate to, it's sad but it's not moribund. It's about breathing in life, not exhaling one's last breath.

[@thomastimlin1724]

in 1974 i sang this with my guitar around a campfire to my parents and younger brother. i was 18. havng no clue how my life would turn ot, or theirs. Now, they are all gone and I am the only one left. Thank God I sang it to them then. People who cannot appreciate this song are lost and consumed by only one kind of music or mindset etc. Don;t be dumb, appreciate your lived ones, dn;t take them for granted. you could step in frorn of a truck tomorrw and not be here any more. Don;t by into the Putin type crap that human life is cheap. Jim left his wife a small child behind when he died. That REALLY SUCKED.

[@yingyeunglaw4604]

Jim Croce died in a plane crash when he was very young

[@christinebretz255]

Listen to him sing......I’ve got a name

[@jpaine619]

His family operated the restaurant "Croce's" for about 20 years, here in San Diego.

[@MoMoMyPup10]

This was released 2 months after he passed.

[@chrisholland6052]

BTW, it's pronounced Crow-che. Nice reaction. He also wrote some fun songs, Bad Bad Leroy Brown is one that you can't help but bounce to.

[@zulfikaristyanto9768]

know this song from X-Men: Days Of Future Past , quicksilver kitchen part

[@fanssikret714]

B.Y.O.B Please

[@charlesciranni8187]

Did she say: "He wrote this song before he died?"

[@roberormonde]

Compared to todays music igive it a50

[@justaaronshelby3261]

First to comment 🙂

[@RyneMurray23]

He wrote this song because he was away for a while. He was gone like a year from his wife and son I think.

[@beeseewill2407]

This song does not feel like it was finished to me.Like he wanted to say more,but ran out of time.

[@jonathangonzales4970]

Can yall react to Mo3 ..Outside or Slide On Em or Long Time Coming

[@timbrown5720]

My wedding song 11 28 00 crow-chee

[@AGDinCA]

His name was Jim Croce, pronounced Crow-chee.

[@trhansen3244]

Best way to remember how to pronounce it is it rhyme with Mow Chee.

[@twwtjohns]

I believe Jim Croce did have a regret and that was he was spending so much time on the road trying to make it and he wished he could spend it with his wife and their son.

[@baronofgreymatter14]

Can yo uplease turn off the fan in the background. It ruins the video sound and ambience

[@slash3707]

Pls react to sleep - MCR great song and haunting

[@freefallin6871]

This is the most wistful and haunting song I've ever heard. Though history tells us that he wrote this song in '70 when he learned his wife was pregnant while he was on the road trying to make it, the fact that a year and a half after it's release he would be gone takes on such immense gravity. The pain that his wife felt had to have been smothering. I love this tune, but it hurts to listen to it, then and now.
