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.

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.

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.

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.

This is my favorite song from Rod Stewart. Now, I know why. Very Nice.

Has to be one of the most beautiful songs of all time. If you haven't heard the live version on Tim Hardin 3 check that out too.
