2. Al Stewart was pretty good at it!

This song always brings to my mind a young friend (he was just 20, a dozen years younger than me) who committed suicide. It was heartbreaking for me, and for everyone who knew him. I kinda think he felt he never fit in socially, and it seems the character in this song had that same feeling. - -
