I’m nearing the end of my life and every time I listen to this song I’m reminded of my youth. Mom and dad were alive and my brothers and sister were living at home. I feel like I was born at the right time. To the future I say this. “ Enjoy the music my generation left you”.

You can only say one thing about Glen Campbell. The Best.

Thirty years ago. I took a small jet to turn myself in at Allenwood Federal Prison Camp to do some time. I used to listen to this song because I had left without saying goodbye to anyone. We had a lake, a bocce court and gym, no fences and an old abandoned church with cemetery we could use. I became successful after I got out and now I'm retired. Songs like these make you travel back in time.

Again, I have to confess that I was too stupid in the 60's and 70's to appreciate Glen Campbell. I grew up with siblings born from '48 to '53, but I was born much later. I wish that I'd had the musical maturity to know that Glen Campbell was a genius on the guitar with an exceptional voice and the man he gave to us all. God bless him , his family and all of us that love his memory and the talent that he's passed to his progeny...

I give Glen a lot of credit,..he sounds better than he ever has..some people are just timeless. Michael.

"Galveston" brings back memories of when I first moved to Tallahassee. And immediately had to come back to Jacksonville twice, for draft physicals as the Viet Nam War raged. And how much my older brother was the wind beneath my wings as I attended Florida State University and worked in his music store and recording studio. Even with the bad times, those were the great times. Thank the Lord.

One of the greatest musicians of the last 60 years

I've just heard the most uplifting story when Glen came to my home town of Halifax, England in the 1980s Glen enjoyed his time in Halifax having the chraic with the locals before his sell out concerts. He frequented the pub the Plummet Line on a few occasions enjoying the local ales. So much so that the lass working behind the bar cooked him apple pie of which he looked forward to on his return, on his request. (Halifax Courier have an excellent article) I personally had to see Glen and did so in Manchester on his last tour of the UK. Boy, that was some emotional concert. God bless you Glen. X

I used to dream of being like the "Rhinestone Cowboy". Unfortunately, reality set in and the dreams were all that were left. Thank you, Glen, for my dreams. RIP.

I don’t think a lot of people realized how much of a badass Glen was at the guitar. He could shred with the best of them with ease. I love you Glen. Rip my childhood crush. ❤

I love listening to Glen. I always smile when I hear him sing but there is always a little sadness because he is gone now. Such a bad end for a great talent. I MISS HIM.

God broke the mold with this incredible man.

Jimmy Webb is a song writing genius. He could write a song covering the whole of a Shakespeare play and fit the lyrics on the back of a postcard.

God this man and his music takes me back. Such a loss to the USA and the world with his passing. Still love listening to his music legacy. Pure Americana.

Growing up in the Philippines, I first heard of Glen from his hit song Rhinestone Cowboy. From there I found out more about his other songs and great guitar talent. So sad watching the documentary about his life fighting the disease that took his life. Rest easy, Mr. Campbell!🙏

"Time and time I tried to tell her so, she just didn't know I would really go." Such a simple phrase says so much. This song always pulls me back to a time so young, first love, arguing, making up over and over. I finally left and didn't come back, eventually hitchhiking across the country. The words really say how I felt better than I ever could.

I love Glen Cambell's By the Time I get to Phoenix. It makes me teary-eyed!

This man was genius

I was fortunate to attend a tribute concert by Jimmy Webb, before Glen passed away. Jimmy told stories of how he first met Glen, and how they became such close friends afterwards. Jimmy is a very talented singer-songwriter.

Oh how I wish he could have been with us forever!

RIP Glen you'll ALWAYS be remembered

Galveston and Jimmy Webb perfectly capture a moment in time back in 1968 when so many young men were in Vietnam wondering if their girl back home was still waiting for them. I was 18 in 1968 and that poor GI sitting on a hilltop firebase in Vietnam could have been me.

To think that one person combined so much talent side by side. A fantastic vocalist , and an even greater instrumentalist. Wow , just wow. RIP.

Such a sad song . But sang to perfection

I was a mere child in the 60s, then a young teenager in the early 70s. Whilst my friends were into more conventional rock etc of the era, which I was to a degree - but it was Glen's music back then (being very popular with my parents etc) really touched myself as well - superb voice and talent. Greatly missed.

I didnt much like country music growong up either but these songs caught my attention back then and I probably liked them more than I would have admited.
