At the end of his life, Tim was staying at a friend of mine's house in the country Over the past few months he had gotten worse and worse and had eventually moved his mattress off the bed out into the field. It was summer in Ontario - not cold - he just couldn't stand being around other people - having to "talk" etc. I used to take him a cuppa tea once in a while and he'd just smile and take the cup, close his eyes and look away. It was SO SAD. Thinking about him would make me cry. He wrote the song "Misty Roses" for a close friend of mine. She was a "blithe spirit"- he fantasized about her - she loved him but she wasn't 'in love" and that made him depressed. He was just too good for this world. I think he's happier in heaven. He's one of the heavenlys.

+Damion Mann Thanks. Although perhaps I'm a shallow person. I never spent much time interpreting most Bowie and Dylan songs. Although there are some song lyrics which are worth considering. Snowbird (try Anne Murray). Oh You Pretty Things and All the Madmen (Bowie). Shelter from the Storm (Dylan). Lola (the Kinks, for probably the funniest final line in rock). But I do not see the point in conflating people's works with their lives. That way lies attacking soap opera stars because they play villains. Take Charles Dickens, author of the brilliant Bleak House and somebody who never really recovered from his childhood and was a thorough swine as an adult - and yet, Bleak House is still great. Consider Arthur Koestler: the author of Darkness at Night was also a sexual bully. If we really do need to consider Tim Hardin's personal life, we do know that he was a drug addict. This may have made him manipulative. Maybe. But why call him a sociopath? In any case, back to the point: his song is a great one, enhanced, I think it's fair to say, by the fantastic interpretation of Rod Stewart's version of the song. The song is all you need to know.

Many times a singer-composer performs their own songs better than anybody, but in my humble opinion, Rod Stewart 's rendition is the definitive one. He brings honor to Hardin's songwriting abilities, and the 'raspy' voice draws out of this song the poignancy that Tim intended. Every time Rod sings it, he is honoring Tim Hardin, and leaving a more loving memory than Hardin's untimely demise .

When I first met Tim (1962) he was doing a duo with another folkie (R. T.) in the Village (at the Dragon's Den, Auggie's place, I believe - where Dino Valenti sang) He felt insecure about singing by himself. He as asked me if I thought he could make it as a single. I knew he could. He was a good guy, a good friend. He certainly developed into a major talent.

I know a lot of people have commented here and given some great opinions. Rod Stewart's and the Carpenter's version were definitely more polished with better production. Bobby Darin's cover has some of the silkiest vocals. None of them come even close to putting the emotion and feeling into this song that Tim Hardin does. Even Johnny Cash, the master of emotional singing, does not compare with this original. So many great, and not so great artists have covered this song and I have not heard any yet that can compare for the raw emotion that Hardin shares.

Yes, great comment. Watch his Woodstock rendition of If I were a Carpenter; He was fried, yet inflected so much emotion into the song, he must have had an enormous reservoir that he tapped into to perform that one night the way he did. It simply is beyond anyone to have done that in that state.

The year he wrote and sang this song I had just gotten over a betrayed love, and I felt he had written the song just for me. Tim struggled with clinical depression, something that was only beginning to be understood in the 1960s. His friends tried to help, but no one understood his moods. I eventually found true love, something he was always looking for but never found. I sometimes wonder just how much more of his music could have been created, if only he had been properly treated.

This song was originally written, sung and birthed out of the pain of singer/songwriter Tim Hardin. MANY have covered it, Bobby Darrin, Lobo, Rod Stewart, The Carpenters, Cher, Peter, Paul and Mary, Glen Campbell, Marianne Faithful, Johnny Cash, Wilson Phillips and more. Many have covered it but Tim Hardin died for it. He deserves the credit. I agree dancegypsy, I'm glad this is here. Always felt he was talking to me when I listened to him. He also wrote "If I Were A Carpenter" as well.

Laura Nyro's biography brought me here - it talks about Tim. Nyro was a prodigy, a singer/songwriter from the Bronx also relatively unknown to the public since she essentially retired at age 24 in 1971. However, in the music industry she is known to all and revered as phenomenal talent and vastly influential: an artists artist. See her induction into the Rock Hall of fame in 2012 by Bette Midler, and Nyro raves on youtube by Elton John, Alice Cooper and Todd Rundgren. Ricki Lee Jones calls her America's greatest songwriter, and she is even Barry Manilow's favourite composer ahead of Mozart! Her fans range from Miles Davis to Dylan, Joni Mitchell, to rap artists such as Kanye West. I discovered her recently (I wish it was 30 years ago) and my mind is blown.

I saw Rod Stewart three times before Maggie May. I never saw Tim Hardin. The first version I heard was the Carpenter's, then Roddey's. I heard many others before I heard Tim's. For me, Tim's is so head and shoulders above the others. The sensitivity and vulnerability in his is unmatched. See! It's not so hard to miss someone you've never known.

This song was so brilliant and profound. Haven't we all done this in love? I was 23 when I first heard Rod Stewart sing this. I was blown away !!! Still has the same effect on me. Rest in peace Tim. You gave us so much and left too soon.

I learned this on acoustic today. I always thought it was a Rod Stewart song, then I saw Tim's name on the credits. I like this original version.

I never heard this rendition before and now I’m glad I have. Probably my new “favorite“. Even better when you realize you’re listening to the composer/lyricist; probably the intended rendition.

What a gorgeous song. Tragic he died so young under such sordid circumstances. Still, he put a television through a car window after his short collaboration with German group Can went south. So he had some fun on the way to his overdose.

Tim Hardin truly was a great songwriter! He wrote some great songs like this and "If I were a Carpenter". Most people are familiar with the Stewart version of this song but my personal favorite is that by actor, director, painter and singer David Hemmings...

The beauty of this song is, many people who have been in a trauma bond can relate to these lyrics. Also probably why people like Rod Stewart could sing it passionately and heartfelt too.

I love Tim Hardin's vocal imperfections. I also love Bobby Darin - but I think Hardin's songs have so much more emotion and power behind them. Adore them both though!

I wonder How much time Hardin and Darrin Spent together. Trading songs. Strange I prefer Tims version of Darrin's "Simple song of Freedom " and Bobby,s live version of Hardin's "If I were a carpenter". and I almost always prefer to hear the song performed by the writer.

As much as his career was ruined by his heorin addiction, one must also keep in mind how INCREDIBLELY ahead of his time he was. The fact of the matter is he just came on the music scene just 5 or 6 years too early. His first album should have came out in 1970 or 71 instead of 1966. If that were the case the album plus 2 or 3 songs off of it that could have came out as singles would have been HUGE and would have been just as big if not bigger then James Taylor, Jim Croce and Jackson Browne combined. The world wasn’t ready for this kind of music in 66 since we were still inthralled with “big band” sounding records or psychedelic rock band records but this whole intimate singer songwriter thing just wasn't “in vogue” when Tim.Hardin 1 came out.
