It's impressive to me that a country song can be about armed banditry, sailing, large-scale construction projects, interstellar space travel and reincarnation.

[@michaelheath2866]

It was the 70's. The age of free love (and drugs) hadn't quite faded yet, and so you had some very unique ballads coming up in that time. You couldn't even say the 70's was anything in particular musically. There were soooo many good tunes coming from everywhere back then, that whole decade was swimming in gold and this was a part of that. It often felt like it was time to toss the old rules out of what couldn't be done and just go with the flow. These Boys were among those who helped revitalize country in a way no one had thought possible, and we'll all love them for it forever.

[@christopherfett2554]

[@tonkaGuy888]

Not originally a country song. Written and first recorded by Jimmy Webb, produced by George Martin in 1977. Much more pop and orchestral. Webb was a friend of Waylon Jennings who recorded several of his songs including “MacArthur Park.”

[@elllelf]

@@tonkaGuy888 You aren't wrong, but for me the point is that country embraced the song and made it their own by implementing a country feel and beat. The lyrics being what they are were still embraced by country, which involves the song into the canon of country music. So the original comment can still be applicable. If country stars had said, "Hey this thematic content isn't country and we don't want to do it" then it wouldn't be a country music song. But it is because Webb's inspired lyrics inspired these stars as well.

@@BEASTMODEJR-xf5ky The song is beautiful - written by Jimmy Webb. He also wrote Up, Up and Away, done by the 5th Dimension. Super song writer. As beautiful as the song is - I think the magic of this performace is this performance. The four powerhouse stars. The dancing other-worldly nature of the guitars. Everything about this video/recording is ethereal and a work of art.

[@TheDonnalovesmusic]

Well, it isn't a "country" song, per se. Written by Jimmy Webb, it just happened to be a hit by these super legends. He wrote other hit songs for other artists. One example of a totally not country sound, was Up Up and Away by the Fifth Dimension from the late 60's.
