DON'T DO IT!| FIRST TIME HEARING Jim Croce- You Don't Mess Around With Jim REACTION

[@NOLAgenX]

I hate to be cliché, but Jim’s “Time In a Bottle” is a must! Also”Operator (That’s Not The Way it Feels)”

[@keithcarper8809]

[@coolcpa3321]

We used Time in a Bottle for the part of my late father's memorial video featuring him with his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. It's such a lovely poem. One of my late father's favorite songs.

[@kellywann3794]

I completely agree. Those songs show another side of Jim.

[@photophil2149]

I agree totally.

[@arthurplane9682]

Time in a bottle is one of the most bittersweet songs ever written and recorded. He wrote it for the birth of his young son, only to tragically pass away shortly after. It is often misconstrued to be a sad song while it is not. Truly, it is a sweet lullaby for his new son.😇

[@louieflash7190]

You all didn't pickup at the end when it changed to "and you don't mess around with SLIM". Jim Croce was one of my favs growing up.

[@jeffpawlinski3210]

Jim Croce (Crow-Chee) grew up in Philidelphia, graduated from Villanova University, served in the military and doesn't have one bad song in his remarkable catelog. An underrated gem. "The Hard Way Everytime" It's the most beautiful self confessional song you'll ever hear, enjoy!

Jim Croce(Crow-chee) is one of the greatest singer-songwriters ever, even though is life was tragically cut short just as he was hitting his stride. He had so much more to give. His catalog is filled with nothing but great songs! My favorite is "Operator(That's Not the Way it Feels)".

His ballad "Time in a Bottle" was sung at almost every wedding. In the early 1970's. Another slow one "Operator" was great as well. "I'll Have to Say I Love You in a Song" is one of my favorites.

Jim Croce was born in Philadelphia. His ballad songs "Time In A Bottle", "Operator" and "I Got A Name" could very well leave you in tears, While his lighter songs "Rapid Roy That Stock Car Boy", "Roller Derby Queen" and "Working at the Car Wash Blues" are great fun songs.

Time for the melancholy side of Jim Croce: "Time In A Bottle," "I Got A Name," and "Operator." Those are his biggest hits.

[@Sometimes-even-lyrical]

If you think about the way "Time In A Bottle" is structured, it's not melancholy. It has elements both of wistfulness and hope. See how lines in minor key are followed by lines in major key. I think we may add our own regrets to how we feel about the song, plus some feeling that perhaps the song was some kind of premonition of Jim's untimely death.

[@SG-js2qn]

Jim was born in Philadelphia but he did die in Louisiana. He passed away tragically in a plane crash while taking off from Natchitoches airport after performing at Northwestern State University. When I was a student there at the turn of the century, I really became interested in the history and music of Jim. There is no telling how much more great music we would’ve gotten from him if he had not died so early in his career. 😕 Definitely a wonderful voice and a great storyteller.

About 10 years ago I had the privilege of hanging out with Maury Mulheisens Mom....(Jims sidekick at all his concerts) The family lived in the same town I worked in. She brought me into her house and took me into the family room. One of the walls was completely covered with Maury's Gold Records for all of Jims albums. She told me she heard of her son's passing and Jims the next morning after the crash from one of her neighbors. They had seen the TODAY show on TV that morning who broke the news and the neighbor called thinking that she had already heard about it.....she didnt. Imagine learning of your Sons death from a neighbor who saw it on TV??? Mind Boggling.

You feel like you are there from the first word of the song. I play seven or eight of his tunes in my show on a regular basis and they are always very well received.
