[candysweet0808]

This is very good

[lumbago12]

Rather excellent producing...by Macca!

[jhtech2004]

At 63 makes me homesick. This song was out when I went away to Vietnam.

[feingefuehl88]

Beautyful - i love it!

[hox9577]

Me persondly hate classic music.

I listen to AC/DC, Slash, Guns `n Roses, Linkin Park, Van Halen, and some Skrillex. Maaaaaybe some Eminen or Jay-Z, but not much.

But of some reason I love this song. This song gives me a good feeling, and I get good old memories in my mind, even though I`m only 15 years old.

[VeLoDa]

@hox9577 Classic music was the 1600s. Not 60s

[WolfPaKK]

Swedish Jean Claude Van Damme Advert brought me here :D

[ryabrams]

This song freaks me out now because it was the song the former President of Equatorial Guinea played while executing tens of thousands of his own people....

[dirkbag22]

One of Paul McCartney's great accomplishments, the production on this song is fantastic.

[zanboryaa]

was and still one of my Evergreen songs!!!

[lHeartBurninq]

Y...... Ye Fener

Forever OPERA !

[barry2757]

11 years old when this was in the charts, fell in love with Mary Hopkin. Yea the sixties was when you could understand the music, bring it all back.

[dirkbag22]

@barry2757 I think I was 10. Boy, I loved this as a kid, and the older I get the more it means, and the brilliant musical arrangement becomes better and better.

[yendor1152]

Hey, guess what--this song was out in November of 68, that was months after RFK and MLK.

[davehey99]

This makes me want to kill myself

[MichaelDinaswirled]

I was five on a foster home middle of nowhere. This is one good memory of 22 horrible months. BEST VERSION too! LET's GO BACK TO THE DAYS OF LIBERTY

[greenhornet299]

Vietnam 1969....reminded me the world was still going on far away.....

[ctomlinson109]

I love this song so much :)

And it's even better that this song is just one of 'those' songs that EVERYONE knows and hums from time to time :D

[EkbalBaraka]

All I remeber about these days is happiness. Everything seemed to be going fine ,or

that is what we thought .Now everything seems to be going no where..The only thing left to the young people of "those days " is some songs and ..wonderful memories.

[rumouredgr]

My childhood....

[lismclis51]

This song brings back a lot of good memories of my younger years. Everyone I knew, would sing this song, when it cam on the radio. We all learned the lyrics rather quickly. A lot of good and carefree times, back then. Thank-you for this post

[cankder]

[gefet]

yarraamı ye fener :):):)

[MrRossums]

@chriss2003

[joshmolina3]

Found the single while digging through the crates of a record store. I'd never heard of her but i noticed it was produced by paul mc cartney so i picked it up. Man what a great EP i found.

[MrWhodini1]

things aren't what they used to be..no..they aren't what they used to be



[moefapie]

I met 5 friends tonight I haven't seen in 6 years, what I have missed, and 6 years ago....those were the days!

[chriss2003]

[AaronCherr]

@MrRossums

[heretic192]

@MrRossums me2



[noproblem53]

I nnocence that can never be recated!!!!!!

[MsAgentprovocateur10]

I woke up this morning, humming this song for some bizarre reason and I decided to check YT to see if I could find out who sang the song that I used to hear one the radio as a little girl. Crazy how a Caribbean girl growing up in the U.S. came to love this song, but boy did I! Just to hear the melody and the voice brought irrepressible joy to a little girl. Hearing it as an adult has the same effect.

[cshargeit]

oh yes this song was played like the time of hey jude. yes the movies was bonnie and clyde, dr, zhivago... but the otre movie you will never see.. jane fonda and gig young about the movie that won gig young the academy award.. THEY SHOOT HORSES DONT THEY..... about the middle class in depression times. yowza . almost best picture of the year. you will never see this movie.

[20mummeli]

^_^

[jimmypaton1]

so many memories

[1863year]

This to me is the anthem of the 60's - we were young - we were going to live forever - then they shot JFK, Martin and Bobby and innocence was gone...but, at least thanks to this song we have our memories and them they never can kill...

[Pagarus75]

@1863year I really liked your comment - I was young in the 90s and I remember the same optimism. The iron curtain had finally fallen, the cold war was over... Finally we could use the world`s resources to the best for mankind. And then came the bloody wars that tore the Yugoslavia apart, political extremism and 9/11... I guess we all share that same age of innocence and hopefulness... And it is wonderful when the music takes us back.

[123456711085]

@1863year hey :) you are so right about that :) memories will NEVER DIE :))))))

[Nightmarelord2005]

@1863year Ofc they can kill your memories. Killing the person also kills his brain functions, which includes memories my friend.

[roffeyb]

@Nightmarelord2005 Oh dear, what a clever person you are NOT!

[Nightmarelord2005]

@roffeyb Smart answer. Only proves my point.

[CarmeluGilisi]

I DON'T WANT TO GROW OLD! thanks for uploading beautiful song!

[TheKritkun]

มันสุดยอดมาก สวย น่ารัก มีเสน่ห์ เสียงบาดใจ จัง

I love this song.

[hohomahoro]

goodness, mary is sooo beautiful.

[Jackupnow]

Yes timeless to bad we must grow old

[JALtheImpaler]

a song that truly evokes reflection. I loved hearing this on the AM radio as a child when it was a current hit. It is a timeless gem. I still enjoy this so much. Mary did this song justice and it was very well produced at Apple Corporation.

[29FI2SH43]

Way back in 1969 - 1972...This was one of the songs, songs Brian Casey and Richard Fisher would play whenever we two would be in our favorite Tavern in Alcala de Henares, Espana. The Tavern owners for francisco and Angelina Cruz; whom Brian and I befriended as our "Mom & Dad" while we were stationed in Spain. We turned a many glasses of Diamante and Budwiser..."Yes, those were the days, my friend, we thought they would never end..." Loved this song...

[Benh1003]

I always thought this version of the song reminded me of snake charming music in a way. Awesome, classic song none the less.

[TheVaughan5]

@Benh1003 The melody is hundreds of years old, taken from an old folk song, probably eastern European.

[grski88]

@TheVaughan5 It's a Russian folk song from the early late 19th century - early 20th century. Paul McCartney loved it and was looking for the perfect voice to record it.

[richpat]

@grski88 The melody is Russian but Those were the days is not a translation from the Russian song Dorogoy Dlinnoyu. An American Gene Raskin, wrote the lyrics for the song Those were the days in the early sixties using the music from Fomins Dorogoy Dlinnoyu. The song in Russian Дорогой длинною, written by Boris Fomin in the early 1900's with words by the poet Konstantin Podrevskii. Raskins lyrics are not a literal translation from Podrevskiis

Danke mein deutscher Freund. Die Erinnerungen sind so klar und lebendig, wie sie vor 42 Jahren waren. Sie haben dir, ich habe meine, und das Lied bringt sie zu uns zurück.
