  • my dad loved this song and it brings back memories from when he was alive... I can't believe it will be a year on May 13th... I don't know if I will ever stop grieving even though I've been told that at some point you do move on with your life... but I don't think thats true for me.

  • i think some of the comments here are as poetic as the music is. which shows how music can bring out the best in people sometimes

  • WOw i love it! Me recuerda a my artista de novio tocando e piano :)

  • If you dislike this music your heart is just ice cold, all dead inside.

  • Though this is pretty music, it seems to me rather sad. I think that On Golden Pond needs to be more full of life. Granted, not a "happier" tune, but more of a well rounded feel; Like a this is this year, but next year is coming. Not just death and goodbye, but a hello and a dance between the two.

  • how can ppl dislike this music? at the very least, its relaxing and peaceful

  • @ignorance15bliss The people who dislike this are ones that the music brings out a distant memory of loss or recent tragedy. It is a general response for those that have not been able to accept or deal with lifes' unfortunate and sometimes great sadnesses that happen.It's mostly a subconscious reaction to what they cannot put words to. The music is simply too hard to listen to and see the beauti of it. For me, it reminds me of the loss of my father; the man who taught me to fish, gone 40+yrs

  • I loved this movie.  It still makes me want to cry when I think about how the movie ended....

  • Beautiful...

  • @TheMountaincur. Me to it is the most beautiful thing i ever!!

  • @DanceReachesOut

    Peace through music. Thank gods for such magic!!!!

  • A great song

  • I have listened to this song over and over for 4 hours straight! It is the best piano solo. I learned how to play it in a day, I'm a piano player of 21 years! Amazing song!

  • Wonderful music, lovely images!

  • a truly romantic masterpiece! Whether you have seen the movie or not.

  • Me and my dad use to watch this together I never cried watching the film as a little girl but now I my parents aint together and I don't see my dad no more I cry hearing this song brings back memories.

  • A Golden Piece Of Time

    We can catch a golden piece of time

    I could be yours and you could be mine...

  • My goodness. I want to laugh, cry and sigh all at once when I hear this. I think I can see my future with this piece.

  • Best I like of this movie is the very low budget. Both Henry and Peter Fonda made hugely sucessful movies focusing on the individual and essentially WHO and WHAT life is shares meanings. Golden Pond is Classic.

  • :o)

  • love it.. anyone have the sheet musice by any chance?

  • love this... anyone have the sheet musice by any chance?

  • Very Nice !

  • So beutiful. Long time favorite movie theme.

  • yeah, I come here a lot to listen to this piece, it picks me up.

  • Beautiful. I needed to hear this tonight. Thank you so much.

  • yeah, it is so beautiful and one of my favorite movies of all times! Kinda reminds me of the pianist Phillip Aaberg a little. This is one of my all time favorite movies as well. Thanks for your comment Mox3

  • That was really quite lovely. Thank you! I love that shot of Henry Fonda and Kathryn Hepburn toward the end .. the way he's looking at her puts a lump in my throat.

  • I think the most amazing aspect of this music is how skillfully it evokes the aura of a pond at dusk in late summer. You can close your eyes, listen to the music and not just hear the sounds of the pond, but see them vividly in your minds eye.

    Truly a masterpiece and one of my favorite pieces of music -- along with John Dunbar's Theme from Dances With Wolves.

  • @caexplr I agree with you completely. One the most beautiful songs ever written. I once saw a world champion figure skater skate to this for their long program, and it was sooooo beautiful to watch someone figure skate to this song.

  • @VenusInPisces Denis Bielman skated to this music and she was gorgeous. But even better, were Tai Babilonia and Randy Garder skating to this music. I think both videos are on YouTube. The person who would skate it best is Dorothy Hamil--but alas she has never done so. (My Venus is in Pisces also-- :-)

  • Thanks for sharing it with me dlpine71 is it such a beautiful video with a heartly music.

  • I live in NH also, never have been to squam lake, Love the movie. Love the Conway area in fall, truly beutiful, if it wern't for the winters I'd never leave but we are moving now to MD after 12 years here/

  • A beautiful song. Thanks for posting this.

    :0)

  • Thank you for posting this fantastic piece of music. I have watched the film on many occasions and still feel the warmth and emotion that the film portrays. Thank you again for your post

  • ralphononyoutube BEAUTIFUL MUSIC & POST TY thanks DAVE FOR SHARING SUCH A BEAUTIFUL THING GREAT MOVIE TOO

  • the music is awesome thanks david

  • this music just warms my heart and lifts my soul. much of what makes "on golden pond" such a nice movie are the images of the beautiful scenery - squam lake in new hampshire - and this wonderful music! great post, RaplhOnUtube!! thanks!! five stars!!

    david

  • thanks for this one David!! like it-)

  • Truly beautiful, uplifts the soul.

  • Wunderbar !

    Klasse.

  • My grandparents live on Squam Lake in New Hamphsire which is where the film was shot. We used to go up there every summer. They are selling the house now thanks to the economy. It's the end of an era for my family and this movie resonates with me much more becuase of that.

  • cmurphy2826, i just saw your comment, and am sorry for your grandparents - and your - loss. as this is a loss for your entire family to have to give-up a way of life such as this. and, a sad end of an era, for sure.

    david

  • love this film and this score, it's meaning was life doesnt always bring us acceptance in the ways we wish, but if we can find a common ground then we can move past it. A good message. and Henry fonda's last film.

  • This is the piece which caused me to start playing the piano.

    Main aim in life was to play this piece and George surely did it justice.

    Well done.

  • What a pity the pianist did not have a better instrument to perform on. That would have made a great deal of difference.

  • Hello George, You haven't lost your touch! I remember you well, as a 17 plus year old talented young man, playing at the Hyatt, Grand Cayman. While listening to your CD's, fond memories come to me. Did you ever record "More"? As you may recall, it was the song for John and me! Ruthie

  • this is a beautiful piece of music,the film is also fantastic happy,sad,funny it has every emotion possible

    it will bring a tear to anyone's eye

  • Nice variation. This melody is a modern day classic and should not be played too far from the original. Well done.

  • I agree wholeheartedly!

  • excellent film......

  • Breath taking, I think I may use this for when I am walking down the aisle on my wedding day

  • brittney, I think that would be brilliant. this is easily one of the prettiest tunes ever written.

  • Anthony... You see the truth is when I think of spending the rest of my days in a place like this, it is only you who lives in my heart...

  • This is a really lovely piece. I really enjoyed it.

  • Lovely!

  • A piece of music that is a wonderful tribute to Katherine, Henry and Jane who made that simple story into an unforgetable movie
