By the Time I get to Phoenix-Glen Campbell

A very significant song for me. Enjoy. There is a rhythm to the ending of a marriage just like the rhythm of a courtship—only backward. You try to start again but get into blaming over and over. Finally you are both worn out, exhausted, hopeless. Then lawyers are called in to pick clean the corpses. The death has occurred much earlier. –Erica Jong, How to Save Your Own Life

    What a bitter-sweet song beautifully written by Jim Webb and soulfully performed by Glen Campbell

    I have nothing against Glen Campbell.. He will always be like a rindstone cowboy but give me Isaac Hayes version any day.

    I understand too, only I didn’t even get a note or a phone call, he just left and married someone else in another state! It destroyed my soul and ruined my life. I have loved this song since I was a child. I had a Dad that reminded me so much of him. I am sorry for your 20 years of heartache and certainly hope I don’t end up enduring it for that long. God bless you!

    Love this mans voice, it’s just pure gold.
    Saw him last week at the Birmingham Symphoney hall and he was awesome.
    Legend.

    . Campbell made history by winning a Grammy in both country and pop categories in 1967: “Gentle On My Mind” snatched the country honors, and “By The Time I Get To Phoenix” won in pop

    Love Glen Campbell, I used to suffer from deep depression & would play his songs over and over, I lost the depression three years ago totally but guess what I still love listening to glens songs.

    At work theres a guy in his 50s that always plays solid gold fm, I was walking past one day and heard this song playing on his radio. It was echoeing across the factory and every1 had left for lunch. His words caught me so I sat there to listen and have loved this song ever since. Just wierd, lovely melody and sad story.

    Love Glen Campbell. I was in Arizona some years back. I love that red countryside and great memories of Bryce and Grand canyon. These pics remind me of the colour and that sunlight esp. in the evenings..man I gotta go back there…….
