[ilovemarkersXD]

Even though im just 14 i heard this when i was 9 in a pizza place with my mom and my aunt and i instantly loved it and it makes me feel so sad but it brings back memories of when i was like 8 and 9

[OConnorful]

@ilovemarkersXD Same here friend. I'm 16 and it brings back memories. I just hate the fact we'll become old blokes/women lookin back at these times if we aren't carefull.

[travis7310]

They played this is Walgreens on Saturday, and I walked through the whole store singing along. I didn't care if anyone was looking or listening, either! :D

[Farrokh888]

Škoda, že se ty slova objevují až potom, co jsou zazpívána :D

[topsycutesy]

ONe of those songs that never can be forgotten from my heart !

[internetangelX]

Why is it that a song that sounds happy makes me cry?

[topsycutesy]

@internetangelX Becoz it reminds us of beautiful times past and beautiful friends we used to spend time with !

[internetangelX]

@topsycutesy Yeah, I guess you could be right :P

[Noogai45]

[rjmars1]

The sad lament of all of us who let love slip through our fingers in persuit of something not as valuable.

[dewster85]

@rjmars1 Amen I agree. We can still pursue love tho!!! God is love!!

[CCthebat]

This song really brings back great memories I have from 2009. :)

[LisaSpringfield]

[pamelaleela]

[TheWiseman97]

This was my father's baby sister's song who died when she was young. R.I.P Pesce

[Shiggityshiggtyschwa]

@TheWiseman97 That's pretty ironic, since it's a song about growing old.

[bersuarabebas]

Nando's make me find this song haha

[katiebloop]

I love this song!  I used to listen to it all the time on the old 45s my mom had collected as a kid, and my sister and I even had a choreographed performance set to this, LOL. Ah, those were the days! :P <3

I love this song. It brought back memories when I was a kid. Me and my pals used to gather and listen from ghost stories of older folks. The song is quite sad though.

[Marouk100]

Souvenir souvenir, nice !!

[robertoamor2011]

[itsnadica]

@nOkKzYwOrLd I'm trying to sing Mozart's Queen of the night Aria, imagine what MY neighbors think!!! :D

[jake72mhs]

Great song. In jr. high, this was the theme of our class variety show towards the end of the year. It started out with one of my classmates dressed as a senior citizen sitting in a rocker with a photo album reminiscing about the old days. The skits that followed were dreams of the days gone by. Those were the days.

[berner]

This song is kind of depressing, but I still like it

[azh2929]

I love this song, but the audio on this vid is a little messed up...if you go heavier on the bass it's sounds amazing

[smenkare27]

This song could be any group of friends, any old tavern, any where, anty time! Ah, the old days!!

[genericusername1221]

I hear this song almost every day at work. I hate my job and all the other music that's played, but this song always makes me feel a bit better. It reminds me of when my job wasn't such a bad place to be and when my life didn't suck so bad.

[plynnc56]

really good song, paul mccartney worked with her on it.

[karlitos993]

Mi padre tenía en single, y ponía de niños. Nunca olvidaré. Luego vi que Paul Macarthney era el productor.

[echosierra64]

whenever i hear this song, it makes me remember the years gone by.i've left my friends behind and never looked back. i was so preoccupied with my life i forgot their presence.i'm glad i was able to come back and renew my friendship with them.those were the days...really!!!so nice to look back to!!!

[thestylishstar1]

this song was on in my older sister's graduation!!!

[Opetia]

I always cry when I hear this song. I'm an eight grader and there is only a week left for end of the term, so there is only a week left to leave my school which I went for 10 years! I just can't bare it... It is just too hard... I will never forget those times, we had soo much fun. I miss and love my friends, even though some of them doesn't love me equally... But I know that nothing is a end of something, but everything is a start of something. I hope I will get to say "Those were days."

[chiznitsjenko]

in russia it s called dorogoj dlinnoyu and the refrain goes:

Dorogoj dlinnoyu, da noch'yu lunnoyu,

Da s pesnej toj, chto vdal' letit zvenya,

Is toj starinnoyu s toj semistrunnoyu,

Chto po nocham tak muchala menya...

its written ages ago. and I love it!

[jdepp102]

They sang this at the Utah Shakespearean Festival's Greenshow...the song was actually written hundreds of years ago in Russia.

[SOXURROXOFF]

[MaiHarinder]

In our hearts the dreams are still the same.

[IDontLikeSadStories]

I LOVE THIS SONG! Suddenly, this is my life..... :')

[ec247006]

I really like your line breaks. was it written that way?

[1wannabeskinny]

Great.:)! 

[mihai13141]

it is so cool

[ohdoshutit1]

I remember my innocent days....playing in the sea with my cousins whilst all hell broke loose around me and I was still oblivious... :D

[ohdoshutit1]

my mum loves this song :)

[74norton850]

Written by Paul McCartney.. ..never in the left door of a Huey!

[MegaObserver1]

@74norton850 Paul didn't write this. In the 60's he heard a folk duo sing English lyrics to a Russian drinking song and it stuck with him. After seeing Mary Hopkin on a TV show called Opportunity Knocks (a forerunner to the "Idol" shows today), he thought the song would be perfect for her. He signed her to Apple Records and produced the record, although he hired a professional arranger to do the orchestration.

[gregreag]

for mother russia!

[watchman1066]

nostalgic 

[VNOltec]

"Older but no Wiser". After 40+ years, I'm still in the left door of that Huey

I can relate to dreams of battles won and wars lost. I Dream of the past every night, but maybe not so pleasant as the writer's I reckon.

[SonicProwler15]

This song= Talent

Today's music: insert 3 lyrics here, repeat 100000 times.

[pepsigiiiiirl]

This song reminds me of Cartoon Network, oh the good ol days.......

[dlminier]

Great song to remind of so many good times with old friends & family!

[VNOltec]

@dlminier Reminds me often of us sitting in our tents in VN Drinking and telling "War Stories" between missions.

[Tinymoezzy]

my aunt used to sing this song to me when i was alittle kid and sleeping over at her house during the summer... thank you so much for posting

[spietproductions]

Memories, you cant take them away, wonderful memories with my cousins, those were the best days of my life. And no one will ever take that joy from me.

[MVR326]

Wow, what memories. This came out when I was in Kindergarten, and our teacher used to play the record all the time. THEN, she tought us to sing the background childrens part, while she sang the main part !! we had a blast , and I"m sure that today everyone would be in a tailspin if a teacher sang a song about a tavern to a Kidergarten class !! It was not a problem in 1968 at PS 152 in Brooklyln !!

[elvisviii]

This is my all time favorite song!!!

[capitalist88]

Yay! This song came out when I was four, so it's one of the earliest I remember hearing on the radio. Great work with the vid! w00t!

[TheBalnat]

This is so beautiful. I was a little boy in 1968 starring at my first spinning "Apple - Record"!

[Mamkyle]

Wonderful old song sent from a very dear unreplaceable friend...Everyone should take the time and tell your friend,"you love them and you care..friendship is a gift from God to be appreciated........

[iggnattius]

A strange and lovely melancoly came over me when listen again this beautiful song.

I had heard it last century. Now it reminds me old friends never more found. Forggoten in my soul. Thanks for up loaded this gift to everyone who love "saudades".

[margie2525]

@LegalAim99 that's exactly what happened to us that year. only our teacher was awful

[BigBoss482]

A great song. An anthem for all those who, God willing, have tried all their lives. Even if you've met failure along the way it must be remembered that God loves those who try.

[lilibeeavril]

A friend is someone who understands your past, believes in your future, and accepts you just the way you are...

[fallvn27]

would someone tell me the meaning of " DOUBLE DOWN",please?

if there's anything rude here, forgive me.

[ParkerAllen2]

@fallvn27 It means when you take on a challenge or place a bet and things don't go your way you double your effort or the size of your bet. It often implies someone who is doubling their commitment to a lost cause or a losing bet.

[ctrvna]

dedicated to all my former schoolmates..the SMACHIANS '91...especially those in the choir group. this indeed brings back our sweet memory in SMACH.

[bigran2007]

Did Paul McCartney wrote this song?

[v1de0gamr]

@bigran2007 Paul MaCartney produced Hopkin's recording, but he didn't write it. The English lyrics (the song was originally Russian) were written by Gene Raskin.

[bigran2007]

@v1de0gamr thanks for the information.

[TheFuriousOrlando]

@v1de0gamr

I think McCartney produced, but the music is Russian.

[v1de0gamr]

@TheFuriousOrlando Isn't that what I said?

[TheFuriousOrlando]

@v1de0gamr

Yea i see that now :) oops.

[marike99]
