James Taylor - The Frozen Man (One Man Band, July 2007)

[@PeterStrachanMusic]

I honestly got a tingle listening to this. I don't know what it is about this guy but everytime I hear him and his songs I am so happy and also sad. I long for a much nicer time in an almost forgotten past.

[@isaacpage6719]

well said Peter..I feel exactly what you feel everytime I listen to JT's music...

[@kathyyansick5382]

....so nice to see your Parents .....they will smile at all you did for us here, it will always be here the reunion~ great things to look forward to seeing our loved ones again, and Friends! 🌾🏞️🙏🏽🌄🌄🙋💎🌾🌾🐑

[@byronsmith5684]

A song only James Taylor could write.

[@peterjones4621]

I totally agree Peter, I think I'm probably older than you, I miss this country and how it used to be so long ago. I miss actual silver coins and swearing not allowed on TV and not locking our doors and block parties and gasoline at 27 cents a gallon and I could go on and on. I also miss the music of yesterday and the artists we loved so much.

[@ursulaserle7919]

You and me both Peter !

[@RoyPruitt-c8s]

I ve listen to James Taylor all my life .I song his songs when I was in school on shows . I was a young black kid singing his songs this was 1972 I'm 65 I still sing your songs

[@RoyPruitt-c8s]

I love your songs

[@morethanwords]

So beautiful. The song and the singing. The guitar and piano. Everything just heavenly. And JT's inimitable humour too.

[@captainskippy6622]

One of the greatest balladeers and showmen of all time. I’ve had the pleasure of seeing him in concert several times. It’s such an incredible experience.

[@ricardocarvalho2899]

The sound of James' guitar is instantly recognizable anywhere in the world. This is no small thing... Fantastic, thanks!

[@attybong]

yes, those signature pull offs and hammer ons are distinctively JT 😊❤

[@paullilley3879]

James Taylor,our Angel of Mercy.He's saving us all.

[@arianebog5472]

4:33 James Taylor accompagnied my husband and myself during our magnificent youth years. Now my beloved companion is gone. Every time I listen to JT and his beautiful and warm voice he reminds me of the good old days

[@patsmall6613]

Dear arianebog5472 Had to add this after listening to James singing the wonderful 'Frozen Man '. Your words got to me , I lost my lovely wife in 2019 and still think about her every day but I happen to believe that death is not the end but the beginning and somehow James Taylor's inspirational words and music seem to reinforce that belief and have certainly touched my soul . I am so sorry for your loss but at least that man's songs continue to heal us . Patrick Small singer songwriter.

[@charlesstone4523]

James Taylor just gets better with time and age. He is a master of his craft!!

[@brianbommarito3376]

James Taylor’s music, and particularly the album for this concert, helped me to get through some of the darkest of my school days. Thank you.

[@cathaecker5734]

love you James Taylor

[@cathaecker5734]

Thankyou for your love and for sharing yourself with us, you are loved by all of us! Thanks for sharing your talents. You Are Loved.

[@lizmargolis5985]

How I love James - his voice, his lyrics, his guitar playing, his humanity. I’m blessed to have seen him in concert over 60 times. I named my daughter after him. James is my absolute favorite singer/songwriter/ musician.❤️

[@amyrobinson8598]

So thankful for the gift God gave us in James, not only his music but his beautiful spirit too.

[@cathaecker5734]

you are loved by all

[@brucemoeller]

Though I don't know him, I've known his voice for over 50 years. I sing in his range, and he inspired me to play guitar. Then, after my home burned down in 2017, my sister got us tickets to see him in June 2018. What a blessing from my sis. 6th row, center stage. During intermission, he came to the corner of the stage, and I was face to face with the legend. I kindly asked him to sign a cd. Which he did. Then I asked to thank his people for getting us there to see him, how it meant so much....after losing our home. He took my hand looked into my eyes and said he'd heard what happened...and wished us a smooth journey getting back on our feet. He's real, people. And I love and value that moment....and I love the warmth and kindness he shares. Thank God he survived his earlier demons. Blessings JT.

[@windorsolarplease4314]

His musical talents and humor are a treasure.

[@MarkBlackburnWPG]

A three minute introduction not to be missed! "Anyway," says James, "The song's not as long as the introduction" [audience laughs] and be sure to stick around for James' 2 minute extro: "I realize now this is just another song about my Dad." Love this 'live' version -- thanks for sharing with us! This has always been one of my 'Top 5' James Taylor songs. Especially for the bridge. Like all great composers, Mr. Taylor uses that middle part to take the melody in a new direction -- and our hearts with it. Mine always soars when James sings It took a lot of money to start my heart just to peg my leg, and buy my eye. Newspapers called me 'state-of-the-art' and the children when they see me . . . cry

[@thomasgallant3943]

James Taylor the Trududor what is not to 💘

[@michaelelliott1212]

The depth of the galaxies and constellations from the inner man shines forth at the speed of sound from his voice and guitar, as light twinkles like stars from the glimmer in his eyes. I love you, J.T.

[@davidcorless5581]

SUCH A BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL SONG, THANK YOU JAMES TAYLOR.

[@arlenroth8373]

James is the best....one time before we were going onstage, I asked him backstage why he never does "Frozen Man?" He just whipped out the guitar, and sang this entire song for me...

[@denisehedden5108]

🦋Beautiful Song with a Powerful message. I love to hear him sing and listen to his storied history in the making no joke but I love his sence of humor he's so creative and amazing🦋✌

[@johnborn8453]

I’ll listen again and again to your songs from present to the past Singing them they roll easy off my lips Please continue to compose songs we love songs that will forever last. John

[@charlesjames1796]

James Taylor is an incredible musician and I was blessed to have him as a good friend when I got to spend some time with him when he played at the University of Kentucky. He is very kind man and wonderful musician! Charles James.

[@robwooly]

gee whizz these new songs a fantastic and done as beautiful as the old songs, thanks James.

[@JaiHylRubis]

Thats my James I've always known and loved for a lifetime. . . beyond my silly words this love will live Eternal. Such warm thanks J. Blessings of joy from the Tipp Mtns, Eire. 💖🙏🌻

[@carolynnunes3922]

I love James! God bless him and his family!

[@ruckersucker5119]

Not only a great singer but a great comedian! Thanks James! 🤗

[@sandirhodes9126]

😂This is one of my favorites to hear at a concert, (SPAC), because the song is beautiful, and the story is hysterical! Thanks, James!

[@judithdaigle7055]

Touch my heart every time I hear you sing. Thank you, James , for giving me joy.

[@tonygammalo5602]

Tears shed every time. One of the greatest songs about life and death.

[@philipbowman7441]

Now I am jealous of the Frozen Man. At least he got a song from James Taylor. Thanks for the good humor too! 😁😄😉

[@cbred333]

absolutely love that song! i remember seeing that National Geographic article at my Grandparents house. Thanks JT

[@timothynoble4347]

Saw this tour way back when, and the intro was not as long at the performance we attended!! ☺ Love this song! ❤

[@peterjones4621]

James can take any subject, spin a yarn about it, sing a song about it and turn it all into a totally enjoyable and relaxing experience. That full warm voice, that incredibly full tone James has is absolutely wonderful. James Taylor is a National Treasure, never to be surpassed, the greatest singer, songwriter and guitarist of all time. He really has a great sense of humor, he's got the audience laughing and me included!

[@karenmandigo7070]

I love watching your facial expressions when you play. You have a beautiful smile and eyes. I miss seeing you in person which I did every year. Your music touches my heart. Thank you.

[@sueaustin1796]

You are soooo funny!!! 😁😄😃😀 I love listening to you chat!!! Please keep up with your uplifting posts! Looking forward to seeing you perform life on August 28th in Holmdel NJ!!! Stay safe!!!

[@denisehedden5108]

🥀Amazing Song! Thanks for posting video it's priceless and unbelievable🥀✌🥀☝️

[@robertcuevas4697]

James Taylor! !!!...fantástico! ...saludos desde Argentina! ...ojala puedas venir pronto! !!!

[@kingoimkenya]

Master songwriter, poet and guitarist. What a life! Take me back to little, cosy Swannanoa, North Carolina.

[@jovian73]

James? I love you, whatever you do, tell, sing, compose, share. You 'UNDERSTOOD'.

[@mikemcgibney]

Absolutely wonderful, one of James' finest. Thanks for sharing.

[@qtoshi6126]

I've learned something today - thanks James...

[@Den-ni2xj]

Never tired of it, great song and version Legend..

[@sc2603]

Thanks for posting very enjoyable.. Going to see him in December

[@salvadorsepulveda6415]

Thank you JT, Blessings 🙌

[@dreammachine2013]

Superb storytelling and picking❤

[@maiko60]

This is a real masterpiece!

[@jimfladwood4393]

James Taylor is a blessing for us all! And the music speaks for itself!!

[@nickfletcher4132]

Beautiful!

[@SallyOwen-McTigue-tn3zr]

One of my favorite songs thank you James

[@virtualensaniti2824]

Super funny...if someone just heard this song and was trying to figure out the meaning...oh I made it up when I saw a pic in NatGeo. Nah...didn't even read the article🤣🤣🤣🤣 I can't honestly name another musician/singer that is more humble... My goodness. Ty for making the world a better place💕

[@terryroper5860]

Another favorite from Sweet Baby James. No one else could have done this better. Thanks so much.

[@Ceeby]

Great song! Very personal 🎶🎶🎶

[@lesliegoodman-malamuth9796]

When one of my sons was little, he became obsessed with the National Geographic account of The Frozen Man-and then by this song! When the movie Titanic came out, then we had a lot of morbid chats about how long it takes to freeze to death… good times, good times.

[@anthonycarr3273]

I used to played this song to my junior high Ancient History class. Like James I didn’t know much about the real history of the body. I had the students imagining a human being born more than a couple of thousand years ago! I think I just wanted an excuse to play a favourite song.

[@albertdominick140]

James Taylor has a crazy and remarkable history, military service, mental health and drugs issues, enough yo make a good movie ... because he's still became successful, showing that anything is possible.

[@glennstark3182]

James never served in the military. Not that there's anything wrong with that, and I doubt he'd ever try to pretend he did. I believe it was because of his merman health issues that he wasn't drafted.

[@dennisjones3253]

Thank you for sharing your gifts, Mon Chéri♓️ 🔥☯️🔥

[@hughsager8132]

6/28/24. Never gets old. I seem too but his music is timeless

[@jeffryphillipsburns]

Nice song, and it turns out James Taylor is a great comedian as well.

[@davivify]

What a rich vein of talent you have hitherto been hiding from the world - your comedic genius. I say put away all this musical nonsense and pursue your true life purpose - making audiences laugh ;-) Seriously, that was an amazong song. Always gives me shivers. Very few songs I like from first hearing. That was one.

[@jonasrmb01]

amazing

[@michaelellis8726]

1st comment! One of my favourite songs of yours James. Be well.

[@ingidraws]

... so pure and lovely ... what a guy!

[@cathaecker5734]

ya all know how much I love James Taylor

[@magalymartel7424]

Que lindo toca la guitarra!! Ojalá algún día pueda conocerlo en persona!! Un gran cantante

[@pierheadjump]

⚓️Thanks James 😎

[@gw2031]

I only dropped in because I saw we share the same unusual name( George Wheelwright) I've always been a straight ahead rock and blues player but as an older dude these days i have grown to love James Taylor and wow you do too !Thanks for this brilliant video,all the best George / Scotland UK

[@MD-wk3gj]

“Say goodbye to them I guess.” You were so right James. 😢

[@lancerbiker5263]

I remember reading the article. I saw you during your Eastern Canada tour 2022, where all of us ultimately freeze in the cold ground. Wonderful story, wonderful song.

[@emmgeevideo]

Beautiful arrangement…

[@willwilde55]

Such a sweetheart.

[@corriannschafer2323]

[@docpaulmd]

Great song one of my favorites

[@corinneromabiles2410]

Amazing Mr. James!

[@robwooly]

what a beautiful song and how beautifully arranged with the piano, just absolutely perfect. although I felt the comments following the song were counteractive to the songs beautiful ingredients 🎉🎉🎉❤

[@johnperry1645]

Brilliant!

[@Coastwiser]

As we wind out and down from what could be the hottest night of this century the hottest night of this year to be clear I'm thinking of the Frozen Man.

[@heathermurfet9472]

Fabulous performance and pretty funny gag at the end

[@1mmickk]

Wit, charm, repartee, the mans a gift.

[@mr.sherlockholmes6130]

I’m sure their deaths were horrible. That man was real and alive at one time . As were all the Men who left that day so long ago . So God bless you Frozen Man and may your life that you lived teach us something today ! May your Soul be with God

[@scottschmittmusic]

That's awesome! Never heard it before

[@magalymartel7424]

😊Saludos desde Lima Peru

[@rwachtell]

This guy could have made a living as a comedian as well.

[@irnwkrkev]

James could have a future in stand-up comedy if he gets tired of singing!!!

[@kirkwatson1442]

We were on Kauai and this album came out,one of the bestest...

[@thomasjefferson1010]

Past life reverberations always this guy

[@teresapuckett3315]

I never realized how funny James is. Talented man.

[@cleusacosta2355]

Sem palavras...🌹👏👏👏👏

[@attybong]

2:49 newspaper says the frozen man was buried in ice in 1845, so if he was born in 1843 he would have been only a 2year old baby then .. so, james correctly changed the lyrics to " i was born in 1823 .." 5:47 😊

[@billywhite1403]

Larry goldings on piano ? Slays

[@kirkwatson1442]

This album was. Soo cool

[@patriciabedding349]

Thank you for bringing William McPhee to life! Those were the days 🗿

[@stevenbaker436]

Have mercy.

[@saxMD2008]

This songs reminds me of that BBC series “The Terror.” It was a great show. JT, such the comedian!

[@cathaecker5734]

I love you James Taylor , cat.

[@RodMcIntosh-e3u]

I met him once, he's actually a very humble yet caring man. I don't think he knows it. Lol

[@MichaelJohnson-lx2dl]

I thought the song was about you, James.

[@kirkwatson1442]

JT,saw you hot agust nights reno,you said you just came from the grand canyon...
