James Taylor - Carolina In My Mind (One Man Band, July 2007)

[@williamscindy77]

I’m 59 now an I still cry when I hear just the first verse of this song. In 1999 I played this tape for my dad while he had chemo treatments. We called it out James Taylor concerts. We both would cry and remember all the better times and hopes and dreams. My dad was only 57 when I lost him. So when I listen to all this music now I feel like he is her right with me and I remember all the beautiful times and memories he made for me and his beautiful blue eye and big smile. Love you dad!

[@jasoncowell5133]

That really touched me. Hugs to you my friend

[@vincelong3132]

God bless you son, and your memories of your loving Dad.

[@jackauxier]

Lots of love Cindy ❤️

[@GuardianAngel14]

Your Dad is still right there with you… he probably brought you to this song. Our dog Lil’Girl brought it to me for Mother’s Day. We lived in North Carolina when we were all young… my husband… her Daddy was in the Marine Corps in 1984. She was my Angel then & still continues to be.🐾😇

[@marionluigi1000]

I do to. My husband and I loved seeing him in concert. I played all his music at my husband’s funeral for him. We spent many summers in NC with our kids when they were young. Now it brings him close to me. Miss him very much. ❤❤❤

[@nicklappos]

When I returned from flying helicopters Vietnam in 1970, one of the first songs I heard on the car radio was "Fire and Rain". When he sang, "Sweet dreams and flying machines, in pieces on the ground.." it was as if he had connected directly into my soul. Since then, James Taylor has always had an ability to make me well up with warm emotion. Thank you JT.

[@shawnelgert9051]

I had dreams of advanced flying machines I had never seen before when I was very young. Battles in the sky. ai think it was symbolic to what I was going through and what I was going to go through. Severe abuse was part of it.

What a fortunate life I've had, to be young and grow old alongside artists like James Taylor, Carole King, the Beatles, the Eagles, the Rolling Stones, Linda Ronstadt and Emmy Lou Harris, Aretha Franklin and Whitney Houston, James Brown and Marvin Gaye, and so many others. Yes, a fortunate life indeed

It is such a strange sweetness that someone you never knew can reach a place on such sweet intimacy that you feel they know you.

[@larryharvey7709]

I forget where, but I set up and ran the sound for him in Boston at a show. He freaked me out apologizing for being in the way as we wired the stage and he worked in a new tune. He bought us all lunch. One of the kindest most pleasant people I’ve ever met. 🙏

[@berylhester3319]

My wife and I got to go to Nashville and see JT many many years ago. He was awesome. Just a nice man that sings peace into my spirit. That particular crowd was like others I've seen, all races, all ages, normal, eccentric, pleased to witness imperfect perfection. I love you JT. From A youngster to my elderly years, you have always been there. Thank you!

Amen!

[@crs9024]

Earlier today, listening to James Taylor in my car, I had the exact same thought. I was born the same year he was and I will always be grateful for that.

[@judymattea]

My husband played guitar as a hobby but he was actually very good, played for our friends from high school and college. So when he died in 2013, many of our friends called me and said they still pictured my husband of 40 years singing and playing "you've got a friend." Ed was an accomplished and brilliant pharmacist, and loved his guitar playing. He got a severe flu and was gone in ten days at age 64. He had a genius intellect, and can never be replaced. But he loved those James Taylor tunes. Thank you, James.

[@russelldawkins9094]

Deep condolences, Judy. How very sad. I’m glad you at least have those memories for comfort.

[@jeffj2495]

Wow. People will be watching and listening to this in 100 years. We are lucky to have it today.

[@rogertimmons1937]

What brings forth the tears when we hear songs about a longing for home? Home, a place during a time, the place has changed. The time is long passed. The memory is all we have. Make the most of the time you have. These are the moments that will not be repeated. These are the good old days.

I have loved this man since I was a young teenager, now seventy eight. Saw him in Texas about twenty years ago. He’s still handsome and love his music still!😊

[@AndyArnold-uz5yo]

This song reminds me of my wife. It was her favorite song before she lost battling cancer, I wish I could change the hands of time, I never missed a moment with her, life could be so unfair most times but sometimes I wonder why bad things always happen to good people

[@ClayJonesCO]

I was flying back home to Nashville in August of 2008, after being away for about 6 months for some Army training down in San Antonio. I was still in uniform. It was about 10-11pm on a Friday night and the airport was mostly empty other than the passengers on my flight rushing to baggage claim. All I could think about was getting to my old friend waiting in the car outside, to get me back home about 10 mins north of town. There’s a Tootsies in the terminal. A young man is covering this song with his acoustic guitar. I stop walking and I’m absolutely captivated by the beauty of the lyrics and the music. He finished off with the fading of “say nice things about me…” and that moment hit me so hard. I still get emotional and so vividly go back to that moment when I hear this song. I was back in Nashville. My hometown. Where even the late night airport cover bands can make magic happen with their talents and stop a soldier from racing to baggage claim after being gone for so long. But whatta testament to James’ songwriting and artistry.

[@marktheelf53]

This man has something of special...the sweetness of voice, the way to play arpeggios on guitar...there is really just one James Taylor in the world...and we are lucky to have him

[@williamsanders3182]

I remember years ago when my sister graduated from high school and moved to North Carolina. She had always been my best friend and confidante. I missed her so bad it hurt. This song came out about the same time. It always made me think of her. I miss her now because she's gone to be with the Lord. This song still brings back her memory. Love you Sis!!❤

This song is so evocative for me. It takes me back to 1970, summer delivering mail at Grand Central Station, concerts in Central Park after work, the noonday sun on Park Avenue, the smell of the September air visiting friends in my first trip to Brooklyn, hearing on the news that Jimi Hendrix had died. Hearing "Fire and Rain"on the radio was a life-changing experience, signaling an era where singers would tell stories about their lives, their struggles and their relationships in a way no one had ever done before.

Ever since I heard this song for the first time, I can remember it having an impact on me. I used to hear this song come on the radio while I was at work, where I waited tables a local restaurant when I was in my early twenties. It would come on fairly regularly and every time it did, I would try and tune out the noise of the restaurant and stop and listen for a moment. Theres just something about this song that no matter what I’m doing, it always helps me to leave the present and take a time machine back to the past. For me, the best songs are the ones that can take you to another place just like Carolina in my mind does. Thanks for that, James.

[@stompthedragon4010]

It was one of the first that I owned

[@robertjohnson3855]

I began taking a few guitar lessons at about 12 yrs old. The effortless style of James Taylor was a fight for me and I came to believe I would never pick it up. Although I never really felt good enough I did manage to learn more by ear than lessons and i ended up quitting after about 6 lessons. James Taylor and Dan Fogelberg (RIP) continue to be my musical inspiration both for their amazing lyrical talents as well as their unique guitar talents. James has little nuances in his playing such that one can usually pick out the song playing as one of His without him singing yet. Yet, his angelic voice and relaxed tone give him away shortly. When i begin to lose motivation to continue playing, usually due to my physical or emotional suffering, listening to James Taylor brings my motivation back quickly and reminds me of the reason i love music. Although I may never achieve the talent he has been given from God and hard work, his music reminds me that we are all given various unique talents meant to be shared and some of us, like James, are given talents that it must be considered a sin if we fail to share with all those around us. Thank you James Taylor for being one of God’s angels walking among us. Honestly your music is a relief from all the wickedness around us in a world I have witnessed continue to deteriorate, while your music remains a constant source of beauty and goodness and a witness of God’s love by sending you to us. God Bless You James.
