King of Nothing

@JamesLove I'm responding to your comment, more than 9 years after you posted it, for I am just now seeing what you had to say for the first time and also because I found your perspective, illuminating and most likely, right on the money. Like you, I was also surprised that only you alone commented on this song. I remember liking this song when it was first released, when I was a child of six, perhaps seven years old. At the time, I feel it was the early'70s sound and vibe that appealed to me, just proactively discovering music in general and...

@JamesLove I'm responding to your comment, more than 9 years after you posted it, for I am just now seeing what you had to say for the first time and also because I found your perspective, illuminating and most likely, right on the money. Like you, I was also surprised that only you alone commented on this song. I remember liking this song when it was first released, when I was a child of six, perhaps seven years old. At the time, I feel it was the early'70s sound and vibe that appealed to me, just proactively discovering music in general and "King of Nothing" was reminiscent of a multitude of songs from that era that I had a fondness for. One notable aspect of that particular song for me is that it wasn't a big hit for Seals and Crofts, so after it's initial run on AM radio, I did not hear it again until about 40 years later when I came across, and purchased a "Best of" CD. Because so much time had passed, I was giddy with excitement but also wary that it might not live up to how I had perceived it through my childhood eyes. Finally hearing the track again produced the exact opposite effect on me though, as nostalgia instantly washed over me as I was transported back to a happier simpler time. The joy I felt at that moment was amazing, to say the least! So, it was cool to me finding someone else that enjoyed this song as well . Once again ... thanks for commenting back in 2012. And if you should somehow see this reply, I will be doubly amazed, surprised and impressed, and gain a new, healthy respect & profound appreciation for the powerful applications/scenarios we can now realize by using advanced computer technology as it pertains to social media platforms. Peaceout ☮️ !

@JamesLove It's 2023 and I just came along to this site. I used to think this song was the story of my life. It was 1974 and I met a girl and new she would be my wife and we would have a family. I got her pregnant and we got married so I was the king and had everything I wanted. It wasn't long after that I found out my queen was a witch in disguise and I was really, the king of nothing! I stayed with her and had a 2nd child but I ended our marriage 2...

@JamesLove It's 2023 and I just came along to this site. I used to think this song was the story of my life. It was 1974 and I met a girl and new she would be my wife and we would have a family. I got her pregnant and we got married so I was the king and had everything I wanted. It wasn't long after that I found out my queen was a witch in disguise and I was really, the king of nothing! I stayed with her and had a 2nd child but I ended our marriage 2 weeks before our 14th anniversary. Next year would be 50 years and hearing this song takes me back to a sad time in my life. I found a new queen and she has treated me like a king for 35 years so I am the king of something now!
