It Doesnt Have To Be That Way ~ Jim Croce

"It Doesn't Have to Be That Way" is a song written and recorded by Jim Croce in 1973 it reveals a man who has recently ended a relationship. As the holiday season approaches, the Christmas atmosphere in his town is evident nearly everywhere, As he walks down the "windy winter avenue" and encounters these holiday festivities, he admits that he wishes he and his lover could reunite. However, even as he encounters these sad reminders, he finds room for optimism, suggesting that "it doesn't have to be that way," and that his relationship with his lover could "easily" be rekindled if they attempted to do so. He suggests that if his lover could only see him as a "lonely man" walking down the street, that she would "understand" his sadness, and agree to reunite. Finally, he wants to visit his lover's house "today," so that they can "get it together tonight," overcoming their problems to begin their relationship once more. The lyrics end the chorus by noting that his life can only be better with his lover - indeed, "it's only right." Jim’s song hits too deep and is too beautiful, it is heart wrenching, it is bitter sweet, but it gives you hope and encouragement, indeed ”it doesn’t have to be that way”, Thank you Jim for writing us such a beautiful song for holiday season to warm our hears during the windy winter. What a great talent!
RIP Jim
