  • "All my life's a circle;
    Sunrise and sundown;
    Moon rolls thru the nighttime;
    Till the daybreak comes around.
    All my life's a circle;
    But I can't tell you why;
    Season's spinning round again;
    The years keep rollin' by.
    It seems like I've been here before;
    I can't remember when;
    But I have this funny feeling;
    That we'll all be together again.
    No straight lines make up my life;
    And all my roads have bends;
    There's no clear-cut beginnings;
    And so far no dead-ends.
    Chorus:
    I found you a thousand times;
    I guess you done the same;
    But then we lose each other;
    It's like a children's game;
    As I find you here again;
    A thought runs through my mind;
    Our love is like a circle;
    Let's go 'round one more time.
    Chorus "

    I dont mind my life circling around as long as it keeps bringing me back to Harry's music. What a gift he was to us all.

    My husband died in September of 2012. He often sends me songs. I know they're from him because the song will be playing in my head upon waking for the day. This morning it was this wonderful one from my teens. At least I guess that's when I first heard it. Forty-five years or so ago. All I could remember was the chorus, which I sang all while preparing breakfast. Anytime Aric sends me a song, I sit down with coffee and breakfast, find the song, then listen to it while I post it on Facebook. How perfect these lyrics! Harry Chapin.

      So sorry you lost your husband. I am a music fanatic who is in bad health. I have told my wife when I die I will send her a different song everyday to let he know I miss her.

    Isn't it funny how some songwriters write songs that seem to be written just for you? It takes a special gift to be able to do that. Harry Chapin had that gift.

    This song goes back nearly 40 years for me. At coffee houses during college, two friends would always play this song and everyone there would join in, month after month over 4 years. That was my introduction to Harry Chapin. Been a fan ever since.

      I was living in Connecticut with a view to Long Island across Long Island Sound. The LIE (Long Island Expressway) had a notorious reputation as a dangerous stretch of highway. It certainly proved to be the case the fateful day we lost Harry Chapin. I vividly recall hearing the news of Harry’s accident and passing on the radio and for a moment the world stilled in sorrow. I loved his music, “Circle” in particular.

    His beautiful songs remind me of the good times of the sunny misty 1970's .
    He left this world far too young, he left so much behind for us to enjoy and had much more musical gifts to give.

    Saw him twice in the late 70s, first time with the band, second time solo (as part of his World Hunger benefit concerts). Even with a crowd of 5,000 to 10,000 people in attendance, he could make you feel like he was playing just for you, in his living room. How much more did he have to give us. Harry, we miss you, 35 years later.

    • @carlscamino5844
      @carlscamino5844 Před 2 měsíci

      How true. I saw him in concert twice in the late '70's also. It felt more like sitting in a living room with friends and one of them was playing a guitar and singing.

    Harry was headliner when I saw him in Detroit in 73 or 74. Cats in the Cradle was not yet out. So, Taxi and W.OL.D. were his then top 40 hits. The opening acts for Harry were Linda Rondstadt and the Stone Poneys and then David Bromberg.

    • @gerfmon1
      @gerfmon1 Před 3 lety +1

      David Bromberg, there's a name I hadn't heard in a long time. I was lucky enough to see Harry in 4 concerts, he never had any opening acts in the shows I saw. First time was a one dollar concert he played at the Cow Town Ballroom in Kansas City. It was right after he released his first album, Heads And Tails. RIP Harry, we miss you.
