  • such a religouse song!!!!

  • great tune

  • Funny how plz think of building for the future but there wont be a future if this issue about saving our planet is not resolved first.

  • Comment removed

  • ahhh things aint what they used to be

  • stop looking for something that might not be there and look at what is there. stop and look at what we need to do at the present life we live. come on people.

  • A Prayer... Love!!!

  • marvin the great

  • I'm old enough to know that environmentalists are not concerned about the earth.Their concern is controling people.

  • @garebear1015

    what ?

  • another timeless song, I've been hearing it for years and never, ever tire of it

  • É mesmo uma oração: Senhor, tende piedade de nós...

    "Mercy,mercy,me"

  • 18 people haven't shown mercy.

  • my auntie loves that Marvin

  • What choice do WE have but to move on...There is a better place!

  • Deep, Powerful, Inspiring, Timeless... What da fuck has happened to Music these days?! 'Cos it sure as heck don't sound like this any more... What's that?! Capitalism you say? Ah, they wanted to fuck as much money out of the Music Industry as possible so they killed the Art and made "music" for the unwashed, ill educated and easily manipulated masses... The sort of demographic that idolizes shows like X Factor... OK I got it now...

  • @sdwone I don't doubt for a minute that you are correct. There's just one thing: The same is true of the language used today compared to as much as it was used back then. My point? Try watching yours.

  • @Terrigm45 Okay dude. Not that you have ANY right whatsoever to tell me to watch my own language, but understand that I am quite passionate about music. Passionate about a LOT of things actually. Hence my use of expletives here and there... If this were another link, I would verbally have it out with you... But I won't. I have deep respect for this upload and won't spoil it by being baited by an Internet Troll. But may I suggest that you don't take what others say out of context. Deal?

  • this song is almost religious, i feel like i should be praying while listening? wtf.

  • Powerful...Thanks for posting.

  • the best

  • Im going through some dark days in my life right now & this song hits home....It's my emotions all balled up into one....Thx Marvin...So few songs can describe a person's mood & life.....

  • @friendlychic25

    Been through a lot myself over the last few years, music helps take you away and fend off the pain. Try Carole King, 'You need a Friend' or early John Martyn, it might make you cry,but you will feel better later. Hang in there, it takes time to ease the pain, also try to laugh, I recommend The Gilmore Girls on tv, really !!!! and I'm a bloke!!!

  • Amazing, he song this song years ago, yet you can sing it brand new today and every word would still be true. Mercy!!!!

  • This song reminds me of being in the backseat of my parents car when I was little. They always used to bump this shitttt.

  • he was definite proof life is crazy !! ups and downs,smiles and frowns 

  • amazin

  • the best

    

  • thank god for sam cooke & marvin gaye

  • Marvin Gaye will always be remembered for his music and voice; he tells

    us about how the earth has be plundered and abused, MERCY ! People

    are so wasted now, they post comments, arguing, cursing and talking

    trash about talents they have no knowledge about.

    MentalEminence for example, must spend his life criticizing and claptrapping

    stupidity. And you think you're eminent ? ! A complete antithesis to what

    is known as intelligence....... please do not display your obvious brain

    damage.

  • scarecrow wit dat satan bible tell me wheres da killa man

  • @MentalEminence ignorant.

  • Thank you.

  • fish full of mercury? damn & i thought radiation was bad.

  • Marvin is truly a gifted artist. I MISS him.

  • God really placed some true AnGels on earth...Please learn to listen to them, we are living in a dangerous time riGht now and it's not getter any better...

  • Comment removed

  • Why is he saying stuff that recently happened not to long ago?? O_o

  • Beautiful video.

  • Truly epic...... a song way ahead of its time. Thank-you Marvin )

  • When we finally destroy our beautiful planet..this song will be our epitaph. We should have put this song on our space probe Voyager..so someday, perhaps a truly civilized race of beings that finds it will know the fate of a race that squandered it's own existence!

  • @MrMalibug  AMEN!

  • @MrMalibug i love yuh

  • @MrMalibug A beautifully painful thought MrMaliburg.....perhaps though, with sensitive people like you and Marvin we can, together, sustain and live/grow/prosper with our true Mother: Earth. Please don't give up.

  • @esauerkraut

    I haven't. But the prospects look dim as long as the current mind set of humanity remains the same. I recommend the following two films of enlightenment: Speaking Freely by John Perkins Volume 1 and The Age of Stupid hosted by Postewaithe. Chilling and true but be prepared for some sleepless nights!

  • mARVIN SANG THIS SONG BACK THEN IT IS IN EFFECT RIGHT NOW THINK ABOUT IT

  • i know hes talking about about the enviroment, but i relate to this song in a different way, i think about the community when he says things aint what they used to be

  • Um... Why does this sound like an R&B version of Dogs by Pink Floyd?

  • I love me some marvin gaye! ~3~

  • such a haunting ending.

  • @UnibloggerV I couldn´t agree with you more !!!!!

  • His father a minister, who hated his son, murdered him in cold blood, miss you Marvin, sexy, and had visions for what is happening right now, love making music, soul baring music!

  • im 17 and this is my favorite Marvin Gaye song

  • this is a straight up panty dropper

  • i listent to metal and metal core like the faceless kronos and all those hard bands but now and again its good to listen to real this its so ..... full of affection adn passion nuthin like oldies to make ya feel so good hahaha gotta love the greats of music ya know!

  • @Chem1kill and exactly things aint what they used to be ..... =(

  • This song is over 40 years old but the lyrics are still timely.. things never change

  • the illuminati paid his dad to wack him!!!!=(

  • @zeuslives11 not everything is illuminati buddy 

  • he was green before it was in to be green

  • Music, not sex, got me aroused.

  • I like the word mercy because I am a christian my secret wish is that my name

    would be mercy. I love the words to this song. I play it when my husband is asleep.

    Amateur Song Writer, Nanette Yvonne Tron

  • Things ain't what they used to be, so i pray that since it is not, that life in general will get better for you and me!!!

  • poison is the wind that blows = Chem trails

  • Marvin saw something man!! This is more prevalent today!!

  • request you to from the time ancient ,puranic times ,there may be mistakes of one or two persons .mistakes would have been due to bad wisedom ,bad thoughts or bad fate and were not born with enough fortunate with good qualities not to commit mistakes and sins which made sinner and sinner and could not come out of sins . due to that others also became victims .at those times itself some wise peoples would have taken proper steps for betterment for everyone .

  • Dolphins Head Coach Sparano sent out a spirited message to Dolfans-He said he needs you all at the stadium 2REPRESENT & that the team needs your support & undying loyalty-He finished up with-We're going to get there (GET THERE-WHERE? DAMN-iT!) one way or the other-I hope its with you but we'll do it without you-What do you think about his message? Will you be cheering on the Fins @SunLifeStadium this season-Sound off here @WPLG Your responses will be read on WPLG Local10News @6am "BELiEVE"

  • Absolutely Fantastic song by all means. Marvin Gaye was one of the greatest. It is a shame he is gone. he will live in millions of our hearts and sould or years.

  • its bad in America but imagine how it is in other countries.

  • @RockingOutLoud4Ever1 Gotta think forever-wise for sanity...hold on friends.....

  • Robert Palmer did a pretty descent job of covering this I thought.

  • what I want to know is who would dislike this?

  • THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SOUL SONG OF EVER. LA PIU' BELLA CANZONE SOUL DI TUTTI I TEMPI! GREAT MARVIN!

  • this world is going down the tubes rapidly, it's too late to stop

  • THE perfect album.

  • this guy has to be one of the wisest singers i know. wish they played this stuff more instead of rap ;). but people can like their music i guess. hes a blues and soul legend in my book. he knew life and how tough as he was poor most of his life (parts of life he spent in bread truck).

  • Marin Gaye NEVER gets old! I still listen to him today!(:

  • " Where did all the blue sky go ? "

    think about it ...

  • 60 Years later, nothing has changed. 

  • eu acho que 15 pessoas precisam fazer esames de audiometria pois não estão escutando direito

  • I don't think the world is as bad as we all think. Look at Canada, for instance. Hundreds of thousands of miles of untouched forests, pristine lakes, mountains and tundra. Plus the world is slowly going greener with energy take, for instance Canada (again) and ESPECIALLY Scandinavia and the Netherlands.

    We're getting better the only way we know how. Slowly.

  • timeless song this

  • Jamais de ma vie je t'oublirais car cette chanson traverse mon Ame

    , merci .

  • awesome lyrics, this song will be remembered for generations for its prediction, acceptance of that generation & total denial of that prediction from every generation since.

  • A very appropriate song (and disturbingly beautiful melody) for Japan where I now live. Saddens me that it was written 40 years ago!

  • this song is good 

  • its a very beautiful world this is a very beautiful profound song its just people attiudes that can make this world horrible lovely song love junysawrusxxxxxx

  • just a little mistyped lyrics but its all good thanks

  • 15 Dislikes from republicans

  • @paki1979m  your comment made me LOL...hehehe

  • @paki1979m you're stupid. just thought i would let you know

  • @paki1979m

    Odd of you to say that, considering most of the actions liberals have done to help out the environment have either escalated the situation or hurt the growth of economies. and thus mankind. Ethanol and the Mexican riots over increasing food prices comes to mind…

  • @blueblob4

    I bet you get your news from Fox News, you right wingers are the reason for all the wars. You right wingers applaud executions, killing uninsured sick people and your dumb. Just look at Hank JR that's why everybody around the world thinks that we Americans are so ignorant and racist. Look at all of your family value politicians they usually get caught with male prostitutes. I hate all of you holier than thou right wingers no matter what religion you belong to.

  • @paki1979m

    Let's analyze this situation: I make a factually-based comment about how I detest environmentalism because I feel it is overall worse for humankind. I spoke the truth, and you don't like the truth. So what do you do? You change the subject and go on a bogus tirade against those nasty right-wingers using nothing more than talking points and insults, a clear indication that you lack facts.

    Nicely done…

  • @bWe are saving this planet for our generations to come..without saving our planet, we as a species... ARE DOOMED! Now this man, Marvin, he is and was a miracle...his songs and meanings w/ live forever..luv this dude..one of my favs..peace..:)

  • fuckin' love it!

  • When you hear real music like this, you don't even feel the need to rate or analyze it, just sit back and listen with pure tranquility of mind.

  • @IndigoR Just soooooo right - but proud to be this generation - we have tried...

  • Just soooooo right - but proud to be this generation - we have tried...

  • Over population will be our inevitable ruin...more people more problems...

  • mankind is doomed...the planet is doomed...solution? Jesus Christ.

  • Although I'm sure that Marvin had alot on his mind when he sang this song, and these words, I am absolutely certain in my heart that a part of him was thinking about Tammi. It is impossible to have a relationship with a soulmate, like he and Tammi Terrell had, and not step away from that kind of loss without deep remorse and reflection. Geez, I miss them both so much.

  • i love this song makes sme cryy too

  • @elves4me marvin = sameul L. jackson....

  • Thank you Marvin. You were a visionary and it sure came through on "The Ecology" Mercy Me. Things aren't what they used to be is right Marvin. Loved my Oakland town time listeninig to all your tunes. Many happy days. RIP Marvin. Ain't no one like you now nor will there ever be. You're one in a million. Wish you were here. Peace out.

  • love this song when i get angry i sing this song,and feel better,hey i'm an Eng. teacher no work, but still singing,jjajajajajjjja.

  • Things in this world will only get worst b4 it gets better

  • These pictures are exacly what comes to mind when this song comes on

  • peace we need

  • peace

  • @RockingOutLoud4Ever1 Kno You Need 2 Think

  • Oh mercy..mercy me....ohhh things aint what it used to be...kids are dis-respecting parents before they get to teens...&how so long will itt take to see..that is going to take much more than Obama to change things....whuuu...ohhh...iyah.­.iyah..iyah..iyah..iyah...it takes each indivisual to change thingsss,,,,&to be freeee...//////.Luv this song...I know its not exactly how he sings it,but u cant help but to make it ur own...

  • one of the best songs EVER!!!!!!

    

  • Luv all Marvin Gaye .

  • @tantorss Chill out, comrade!

  • there's only so much we can take, it's time to counter the fuckin satanic illuminati, for good!!!!

  • Beautiful song. Wish I hadn't read the comments below. What's going on people? Why all the ranting. I just want to listen to beautiful music. Peace and Love!

  • I love this shit..

  • @tantorss im a mexican woman... guess what pandejo, I already been bitten. We're tough skinned by nature so I don't hhave too much to worry about.

  • @tantorss wow. Definitely stopped reading after the communist part. Point being this page is about love, if u just want to talk to hear your own voice here's a lil hint, nobody gives a shit. But that mentality does stem from communism. So guess I can't really blame u huh?

  • @tantorss you've been reading mein kampf too much. Get off the page puto, im not on here to argue with nazi's. Marvin gayes music is about soul and love. Not the destruction of a people. Go listen to a few more of your hero's rantings.... u know... hitler

  • @tantorss really? your going political on a marvin gaye song. ppl like you are the reason he wrote songs like this. cuz u dont understand them. oh and btw, america is the least 'non cultural' country in the whole world. we have EVERY culture here so we are actually the most culterally rich to be real with it. and how can you say we lack morals when you literally JUST said u cant wait for an entire country to fail. how hypocritical. puto.

  • if the satanic illuminati dosen't die we as a society, can't survive, period!!!!=(

  • @tantorss what the fuck does this song has to do with americans? all u fuckers everywhere else worry about all the shit you dont need, but want either. and ure YOUTUBE account is proof. you are just as hypocritical as us AMERICANS.

  • Beautiful song - God bless Marvin Gaye, he was an activist when it was not cool to be an activist.

  • 15 people must not have a heart, how can this song not touch their very soul?

  • The most wonderful song I´ve ever heard. thank you!!!!

  • 15 people live on Mars

  • theirs 15 loosers in this channel ...

  • THIS ALBUM US AS GOOD TODAY AS IT WAS ALL THEM YEARS AGO? GOD BLESS YOU MARVIN RIP

  • Things certainly aren't the way they used to be.

  • 476.000 watched this video :) .I Thank you all

  • @zurg222 Our pleasure. Thank you for posting.

  • @zurg222 You know what @zurg222- Thank You! ~~-=3~~~~Miss U Marvin, what a good soul...Peace

  • @zurg222 failed at being funny.

  • @Shinzu92 I think you failed. I'm not asking positive in my comments, I'm just thankful for visits

  • @zurg222 o, lol i did fail.

    but why put a period instead of a coma?

  • Dow n_load this music at Media Outlet Online. Simplly find it with Gooogle =)

  • My friend and I recommend using MediaOutletOnline for getting fffreeee m..uzzic such as this one... Yall can find it on Google.

  • @SoliAlpert satan and his demons and his followers (the illuminati) are pure liers, you can't belive the press when they say "a parent has killed his/her kid"!!!!

  • @SoliAlpert satan is around, he pertended to be a dead lady inside her coffin, while it was closed and when they opend it she was dead as a log!!!!

  • how chilled up me... like he knew that Japanese situ of now...

  • radiation undergound in the sky

  • this poor guy was killed by the illuminati, i'm pretty sure marvin's father was paid off, i mean come on people think, fuckin satan wouldn't even kill his own son for free!!!!

  • @zeuslives11 You'd be surprised by what some parents do to their children. Every day now on the news you hear about some woman who killed their infant daughter, or some man going berserk and killing his whole family. Some people are just...just...

  • @zeuslives11 OH MY GOD,,I NEVER THOUGHT OF THAT,,LORD HAVE MERCY,,THIS SONG I BEEN SINGING SINCE I CAME OUT OF PRAYER AND DECIDED TO SEE IT AND SHARE IT,,WOW,,LORD HAVE MERCY,,I LOVE THIS SONG,,FROM BACK IN THE DANCE,,BEEN DANCING OFF IT THIS MORNING HAVE A GOOD DAY

  • Gostei muito das apresentações e interpretações musicais de Marvin Gaye.

    Edson F Gregorio - Brazil , Minas Gerais, Varginha

  • The more things change the more that they are the same. We still have wars, we still have nuclear disaster, damage to the environment with oid, starving people. It's got to change, we don't have much time left.

    It's not about CNN, it's not about FOX, not about inane dialogue or all the entertainment. Not about celebrity worship.

  • marvin god bless all your music.I hope you can hear me up there. all your music talks about death/life and reality. whats happening brother. we miss so dearly. when will you be back to this small planet?ill be seeing you soon. signed el ghost.

  • made in your image, ALMIGHTY FATHER!!!!

  • Great song I miss him!

  • I cry for the world today. MUSIC will NEVER be this great again - not in our lifetime. With the war and civil rights unrest back then, who ever would have thought we would be saying those were the GOOD OLD DAYS!!! Thank you, zurg222. I can hardly type for crying and longing for the past!

  • It's pretty much the same now as it was then, BECAUSE the Rethuglicans are dismantling ALL the environmental regulations they can, that Ralph Nader is responsible for.

  • That is so true what are we doing to are Earth,just think about the young kids that there kids will see how the earth is then...

  • A classic song of course, but the posted lyrics contain numerous errors.

  • Wait. I thought Repubs said there is no global warming. Wait. Could they be making stuff up? No. That's impossible.

  • Way back when this song was recorded, it was time to change. People irresponsibly didn't care. Now people are going green, maybe a little to late! So, bring children into this world, let's hope they are able to grow up. Man, in his selfishnish, has sealed his own fate. I listened, and cared then, wish there were more of us who did. We will pay dearly for man's ignorance and stupidity.

  • @MsKittypurrrr has man sealed his own fate? or has your hippie generation not givin half a "care" and let this great country slip past the breaking point. rather than shag all day and hope for the future you should have spent more time being good care-takers of this great nation. in other words, stfu u hippies and let us next gen people deal with your failures

  • @wildmanchris200 Yeah, "Let's get it on" is QUITE the love song.

  • If ever a song should be heard by any or all life in the Universe, it would be this one.

  • From 1:32 To 1:53 Is Where Kanye West Sampled Christmas In Harlem. Just Listen To It.!

  • Marvin Gaye was into life,,,,,not himself,,,,,the difference that people today miss. Marvin was a beautiful man who was taken from us way too soon :(

  • rap fucked this whole place up

  • This is mad creepy. How did he know? Like this song was mad what 70 years ago or something?

  • Ouvi e gostei desta música em 1972; nem de longe suspeitava que a mensagem da música fosse referente à Natureza, a qual a Humanidade insiste em maltratar!

  • marvin, i cant put it in words. he was like essence of harmony. like he seen us.

  • @southernaggression you're so right !!!!!

  • Urgent, important, read the message in my profile...
