Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Chris Average	#1 by Chris Hutt at Sep 26, 2007 at 9:34 PM EST
	This particular song is written from a really odd perpspective. Rarely does an artist attain the natural talent requisite to create thoughts in poetic form which artistically express those universal feelings and thoughts we all hold and share together. Everyone has once felt in their lives as though there was too much time in the interval between one specific time in the present and one in the future. This is anticipation of some other time desirable, which results in impatience. But we've all also felt the exact opposite: there are times in our lives when we find that time desirable after having waited so long, and we then feel as though that time period is overabundantly minute. We long to stretch-out time and then pause it, or manage to make it last longer. In short, we dread the wait of things we desire, and feel that time is too long; yet we also overly enjoy the time we spend when we find those things, and then feel that time is too short. And Jim really expresses this psychological universality among all humans in this song. It expresses the desire to control time to longer enjoy our loves and passions, and it also expresses what it's like to appreciate those loves and passions. As I said, it's rare that an artist will have the ability to tap into psychology and sociology and still manage to express that understanding in poetic form, then apply it to music. One of my favorites in this area is John Lennon. Jim Croce now also has my respect as an artist for having created such a deep work of art. This song is of mere genius -- straight out of John Lennon's realm.

	this is probably the greatest song ever written. it is certainly up there. the lyrics provide a sad perspective on the ways of life, a particularly ironic one coming from a man whose life was cut tragically short. music beautiful lyrics beautiful god i love this song.
