  • Kevin Ayers remembers his childhood in Malaysia. Ayers moved there when he was six years old, as his stepfather took up a position as a District Officer.

    Kevin Ayers is one of the most underrated artists ever, but connoisseurs of classic rock know him well, and rightly so, like Syd Barrett.

    a polite, down-to- earth gentleman, a talented musician.
    I feel sorry about his childhood, ' I didn't know what a family was, I was always in the way, unwelcome'.It sounds terrible.
    R.I.P., Kevin, you made a lot of people happy and hopefully they made you happy in return

    There is an obvious sadness when he says he felt he was in the way. Fortunately, he managed to find a world where he didn't take up space and made the most of it. He also found the strength to be alone.

    I always will have much respect for Kevin Ayers. Down to earth guy and was a genius musically.

    l had the very good fortune of meeting Kevin when he lived in Majorca, l got to spend time with him, he was an amazing person and l was so sad to hear of his passing. He was a wonderful artist and a lovely human.

    A kindred soul. I grew up with a family and was the youngest and only girl but was greatly ignored due to the ramifications surrounding that home. I too find solace being alone and not needing to talk, but can enjoy where my mind takes me on it's travels when I sit daydreaming.

      It is amazing to look back on my childhood and realize I was and still am a stranger to them. They were always around but I was still alone.

      I'm in the middle of three siblings.
      My sister and only full-blooded sibling is no longer here after a long battle with alcoholism but I still have a young half brother.

    I feel very much like this, although I grew up with a family of sorts. They didn't like me. It hurt a lot. You get your real upbringing in strange places, with strange results.

    I recognise that ...due to probably stressful home situations kids have no notion what they do to animals. I did it myself thankfully for a short while ,throwing stones at frogs, frightning our sweet cat with the vacuum cleaner when my parents were away. Huge regrets , could never forget it.😿

    It took awhile to realize that when Kevin sounded like he was criticizing his listeners, he was really criticizing himself. It's a question of the pronoun -- when he says "you", he's really saying "I". 'Maybe if I would shout/Someone would hear me'.

      @@claudegrunspan3491 je voulais simplement partager la vidéo sur ma page Facebook mais en y mettant des sous titres (pas sur tout car c'est trop long) mais je le ferai dans le texte de présentation, ça ira très bien . Et puis Kevin parlait un anglais si clair. Votre vidéo est précieuse. Ces chers moments qu'il a passé près de la rivière de Montolieu, et l'éclairage qu'il apporte sur sa vie affective turbulente. Merci pour nous l'avoir donné à voir.
