    David Gilmour, …
    David Gilmour, aside from being one of the world’s best guitarist, has the purest tenor, or so it is said — crystalline, but you are right; David has never been an octave climber, which is probably why he still has his full voice at 63 years old … in 40 years his voice has changed maybe 3 to 5 years.

    I heard part of this song in a commercial a few days ago. Hadn’t heard it in years and had to Google some of the words from the ad to remember who did it and what the name was. I had forgotten that he had been in the “Guess Who” , too.

    Last I checked Pink Floyd doesn’t do covers and it’s way out of their vocal range.

    This song as a rock remake would be great. Imagine Pink Floyd doing this.

    Wow! Great performance. And Burton Cummings was quite sexy back then. Just look at the last few seconds where he gets really excited :-)

    I only just discovered BC and the Guess Who in the past 15 years or so. This is my favourite of his songs. Saw him with Randy Bachman and the new Guess Who up on Parliament Hill on Canada day in 2003 the day after I moved to Ottawa!!

    Boy this song takes me back to my old stomping grounds in New Jersey. It must have been in the late 60’s/70’s. For me, this song speaks of letting go of failures, like in love, and not letting pride stand in the way of something better to come into one’s life. Difficult to accomplish sometimes, but worth the try. I enjoyed many of your comments posted as I could relate to them. Music ministers the heart no matter where we are from in this life.

    Thank you BC, you are our national treasure. Canada has produced giants but BC, Neil Young, and Gordon Lightfoot are exceptionally talented from where I sit.

    Well, here in brazil Cummings Burton is an unkown singer (Unfortunately). I used to listen to this song when I was young, so last year I was able to download it and my friend from N.Y. got really surprised to discover I knew the song. I do think it is a great ballad and he has a very good voice. I am surprise to discover there are many people who love the song like me. It’s nice to know you are not alone in this thread.

    One time Burton Cummings stared at me like he was going to kill me outside the Green Briar. I thought it was just some guy who looked like him but it was him haha.. true!

    This came out just at the time when Freddie Prinz sr killed himself. I can’t hear this wonderful song without thinking about that. I always wished he had listened to the words.This is fabulous song.Too good for a silly commercial..

    I had forgotten all about this song that was a favorite in the 70’s so good to hear it again even if it is on a french fry commercial.

    I always loved this song and forgot about it actually until hearing it on the french fry commerical. I’m sorry he released to Ore-Ida though. It’s such a great ballad and it will either be run into the ground or make a great comeback.
