Becoming a bonafide living legend isn’t as easy as Glen Campbell makes it look. First, you have to have a solid foundation of talent on which to build — like being one of the hottest guitar players in the world. Then you have to record songs that will stand the test of time — standards such as “By The Time I Get To Phoenix” and “Wichita Lineman.” And of course, to be a “living” legend, you need to survive the harsh reality of a celebrity lifestyle. Check, check, and check. It certainly doesn’t hurt to have a witty, bantering stage style that draws fans like college students to Daytona Beach, or a hit television show viewed by 50 million people every week for three years. When you put it all together, the result is a career that spans forty years and fans that c More... (Submit New Glen Campbell Lyrics) (Submit New Glen Campbell Lyrics) Review about Glen Campbell THE LAST WORD | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Gentle On My Mind performed by Glen Campbell Jim Webb was a genius then and a genius now. If your maturity, family background and experiences allow you to understand him, great. If not, your missing something. As a writer, I stand in awe of his work. It is something for me to aspire to and he IS THE LAST WORD IN MUSIC, along with BOB DYLAN, although there are obvious differences. I don't care about "todays" standards, because there ARE NO STANDARDS today in the current lost trash generation. lyrics to die for | Reviewer: pelorus ------ About the song Gentle On My Mind performed by Glen Campbell This is poetry, forget the sophomore comment. Remember these are lyrics to a song, poetic none the less and when you write a song there are no rules to metaphor or lyrical limitation. He felt these were the appropriate sentiments to get his story across to the listener and he sure did! after four decades...every critic can be an expert | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Gentle On My Mind performed by Glen Campbell I guess one could say the same thing about Shakespeare: too wordy. But neither Shakespeare nor Gentle On My Mind should be called a "flawed masterpiece." For its time, as well as ours, its beautiful. It's one thing to critique the lyrics by themselves, it's another thing to critique the whole song. Granted, the lyrics seem to come from a guy who is harsh, gruff and odd, even hard to accept -- he's a COMPLEX DUDE. But his masterful poetry, his elegant intellect, his love of words and women are to be admired! And that special lady who keeps haunting his travels, that is a woman every guy would love to have:) The whole song is winsome, lovely, beautifully lonesome and a perfect masterpiece that we're blessed to hear. Overly Critical | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Gentle On My Mind performed by Glen Campbell For starters, this is an UN-flawed masterpiece, given the genre it was written. It is easy in the year 2007 (2008) to criticize something that was penned over 3 decades prior. And while, admittedly, the song would not "work" in today's pop culture (if a true one still exists), it did work in its time, which is all that matters. It is by far Campbell's best recording...even "By the Time...Phoenix" is a distant second. Forget the wonderful imagery... | Reviewer: john ------ About the song Gentle On My Mind performed by Glen Campbell I understand the 'anon' review, but respectfully differ...indeed there is 10 lbs of imagery shoved into a 5 lb plot, BUT it's all good -really good!...terrific imagery...my problem is with the premise...we have, dare I say, a freighthoppin' hobo who leaves multiple nubile females at the brink...crying to their mama. Either this guy was mysogynistic, moronic, or a loser of titanic proportions. The love of his life is there - at his beck and call - but he chooses trainyards, cracklin' cauldrons AND presumably smelly, shiftless, ne'er-do-well dregs over this woman. I'd love to talk to the late John Hartford about his inspiration! Nonetheless, the lyrics are extraordinary An Undisputed Classic....but...... | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Gentle On My Mind performed by Glen Campbell A great song, without a doubt...but, dare I say it, somewhat overwritten. The avalanche of descriptions and metaphors, crammed in line after line, is a bit "too much" to anyone who's matured enough to appreciate literary economy. This is the sort of thing that sophomores write in school, and that a good editor will take a robust blue pencil to if it crosses his desk. But of course it's the Dylanesque word-abundance of the song that is also its charm. Overall, it works. Again, a great song, one I love, but one that definitely falls into the category of "flawed masterpiece." nitpicker as I am | Reviewer: BB_GunJPN ------ About the song Gentle On My Mind performed by Glen Campbell 7th line from the bottom: I dip my cup of of soup back from a gurgling, crackling cauldron in some train yard @of is one too many So the line should go: I dip my cup of soup back from a gurgling, crackling cauldron in some train yard Today is Mine by Glen Campbell | Reviewer: Ellie ------ About the song Today Is Mine performed by Glen Campbell I too LOVE this song. It will start your day off and make you feel alive. It's just beautiful!. It's sad that this song is not available to the public. I have called 770AM to request this many times. I too live in the Dallas metroplex and called KAAM 770AM so that I hear this and was told I would have to download this song. Well to no success do I have this. I would appreciate anyone that has a copy of this to contact me. Ellie in Arlington, Texas Beautiful Song! | Reviewer: J Jones ------ About the song Today Is Mine performed by Glen Campbell I know nothing about when Glen wrote or recorded this song. Only that my 83 year old mother heard it one day on a Dallas 'oldies' radio station 770a.m., and has been searching for a recording of the song ever since. I was able to locate these lyrics online and actually caught the chorus on 770 today as my mother called me all excited. It is a beautiful song but apparently was not one of his major hits. My mom called the radio station and was told that the recording of it is unavailable to the public. They said she could record it when they play it but that is hard to do because they won't play it at any certain time. If anyone out there happens to own a tape, etc with this song on it, I would gladly pay for a copy and surprise my mom with it. Even the sheet music, if there ever was any published, would be fantastic! galveston | Reviewer: Debbie Wilkett ------ About the song Galveston performed by Glen Campbell to whom it may concern. could you give me the lyrics to galveston. thank's DEBBIE WILKETT You could review the artist/band Glen Campbell in Biography page You could review Glen Campbell album by visiting Albums page and selecting an album You could review Glen Campbell song by clicking the song which you like  Download "Glen Campbell" Music | |
