  • best Buddy Holly tribute ever...you should have tons more views.

  • is it actually humanly possible to dislike this song?

  • This was played at my daughter's funeral. She died tragically young, and this was one of her favourite songs. I hope Clare has found some peace, and maybe she'll be up there singing it with Buddy? God bless you Clare.

  • @Mackingcole sorry, God bless you and you're family!

  • looks good thank you 

  • @anthonyhollis1 i agree.. you dont need to be the greatest guitarist or drummer or bass player or singer or whatever to put feeling in your music.. and feeling its what its all about

  • FANTASTIC! I remember this very well.

  • @SirLimeySir you've hit the nail on the head!!

  • Best way I could describe first major heartbreak

  • I wake up to this every morning:)

  • this song epitomizes great song writing

  • i love this song and all the songs of buddy holly

  • God loves his music so much... he took him away early.

  • LOVE THE SONG

    HATE THE DISNEY PICS!!!!!!!!

  • ....the maestro...a genius before his time....bet there's great music in heaven

  • That voice. Ahead of his time indeed.

  • lol i dont get the lion king shit...but buddy holly goes hard :)

  • Buddy Holly and the Picks, they were never a group,influenced so many future groups.

  • lovely song and video what more do i need wish you were still here Buddy !

  • ...is there a reason for the Lion King pics? lol this video is WHACK.

    Haha, love the song though. Thanks for posting :)

  • 0:18 It's a double rainbow all the way...damn, oh my God...

  • just brill takes me back to my youth and all the girls that i loved

  • .....555 was it you who split the atom????

  • Of course you are -- this is not nonsense; this is life in lyrics, balanced by musical composition and modular structure. Here, the world makes sense, the musical pattern is directly formulated to the very beat of your own heart. Thus, there is a passing of time between you and the song, this translates into a direct connection that can only be achieved through relationships with other living entities. This is the true and awesome power of music.

  • i just watched texas chainsaw massacre and it disturbed me a bit. Then I watched this... and I am more than again.

  • rip buddy imagine where we would be without your music

  • Found this song by watching Wilfred

  • Thanks Buddy, such feeling, words go deep.

  • ROY BUDDY GENE P GENE V R I P THE ARE THE GREATES EVERY T haverstock

  • great chord sequence, my favourite Holly song, great words :)

  • esta canción en muy bonita , las imágenes del video son muy cursis ajajajaj por eso le guardaremos en los favoritos!! ;)

  • Buddy Holly knew how to put many a song together, but "Raining in my Heart" and "True Love Ways" has to be two of the best songs ever written by anyone

  • Thanks "Perfect Getaway" :)

  • Dead guys with glasses are very talented, especially on Sundays.

  • this is simply absolutely brilliant music!

  • The all time great, no one comes near Buddy, never forget you

  • Up beat tune.

    Fucking miserable message.

    LOVE IT!

  • Thanks for the music Buddy!!

  • Buddy amigo!

  • do not fear Buddy is still here just listen.

  • great track,i was born in 67

  • Try some Samuel L. Jackson!

    IT'LL GET YOU DRUNK!

  • I was so lucky growing up in the 50`s

  • I would kill to have been born in the 1930's

  • I think I was born 40 years too late!! I was born in 1989

  • I miss you Buddy! :,-(

  • This is a really awesome video. I really liked how the pictures went along with the song. Nice job.

  • The Crickets were not on this recording.

  • Sad news for all Buddy Holly fans: The dean of our fraternity, Bill Griggs of Lubbock Texas, THE Buddy Holly expert, true rock and roll fan and researcher extraordinaire, has passed away. We will forever remember his friendship and dedication to great music. Rock On Bill!

  • Buddy Holly"s last Song EVER! *Cries*

  • lion king?

  • @HoboHero13

    it's a great movie man, ...i ain't mad at cha chubs

  • Must admit the slide show is rather dumb and nothing to do with the song

  • HAHA!!! Loved the video. It was all, Lion King and then Penguins, and then DOUBLE RAINBOW!!... PENGUINS AGAIN!!!

  • great video. enjoyed it.

  • ME? who said anything about being a know it all? I quoted LETTERMAN, hater. Besides, I was only 2 when Holly died. Am grateful to have grown up listening to him and oldies and the Everly brothers. Saw them when they reunited. Humble enough to know Montaigne, who said, Que sais-je? Visited his ivory tower in southern France once. I am chilled; hell i live in paradise. no stress or haters live here either. Maybe you ought to take your own chill pill. I'll log off and no one write me anymore.

  • I guess the biggest difference in the USA since the late 50's would be the fragmentation of society.Back then,they were things that everybody did.Today,more than half of the people didn't even watch the Superbowl.

  • i love how there's a picture of the lion king

  • MEF900 I was 11 years old when Buddy died and I can tell you that I feel almost privileged to have grown up in the fifties, but the music of the 50's is still out there, you can find it if you look for it.

    Chubbery On, come on ! The video's not too bad, I've seen a lot worse"

  • NOW i'm crying. Where are the happier days?

    i love this music. i sincerely miss my friend Chris and I miss what USED to be Nigel.

    It all changes y'know. If you're 16 years old and thinking things are gonna be rosey forever and your current frineds will be friends for life... I'm here to tell you it all goes wrong.

    Mikey xx

    Miss you Chris, Niss you Nige xx

  • i really wish he didnt die in a plane crash i would of probly went to all his concerts XD :'( its all because of him i started playing the violin he was legand

  • Q. how do I ruin a great song? A. assemble a ludicous slideshow to spoil it. All of these lame ass, dumbshit cartoons. Holly was a genius. Letterman had a post on his worldwide pants page saying genius has no off switch. You can't improve buddy holly. leave him alone.

  • @bodywhomp98 Genius has no off switch? It would also seem that know-it-all gobshite bullshitters have no off switch as well....fer fucks sake...chill out!

  • @Loobs666 I didn't see any1 else say it, so I will, this was a DICK comment. Y do ppl like you have 2 B so rude to EVERY1? @bodywhomp98 was tryin give props to Buddy Holly & his music withstanding time and generations. I saw the same vid of GaGa's interview with D.L.(w/o 05/11) which had a splashcard @ the end w/ the quote "genius has no off switch postion". It's stuck with me since as well, great quote. But ppl like YOU just NEED 2 find fault EVERYWHERE. An apology is owed to BW98.

  • What a truly great artist and singer

    A legend

  • double rainbow!!!

  • @shaggystu100 Me to - I always wanted to be around in the 40's - 18yr olds paid to fly P-47's, P-51's, Typhoons and loads of other high performance fighters!

    Imagine it: fully loaded in your P51 low level over Germany on return from an escort run - shooting the shit out of anything that moves on the ground!! I've heard stories of pilots in the alps in 1945 having low level 'lake runs at full throttle with the prop wash throwing water up! Awesome :).

  • the only thing that i like about the fifties is how the society is not as soft as it is today. If you look at today's time, every time someone gets hurt or something doesn't go their way they sue. And now we are way to dependent on the government, all of these people living off of welfare, even though they are perfectly fine to work, so yes i would also like to live in the 50s

  • this sounds like something off a disney movie, lol

  • wuts up with the danm peinguins and lions

  • He composed this one with orchestra at 22. Imagine what he would have done with about 50 more years. Ingenious use of pizzicato with the strings to represent rain. Only other use for rain I know was by some dude named Ludwig Van something!

  • Very well done

  • If love is good to me-Dean MArtin

    Listen that sing, literally the same exact thin, but faster

  • Buddy is absolutely amazing. I'm so happy we had him while we did. Unfortunately I wasn't lucky enough to be around. If only we still had music like this coming out.

  • I wont be sorry to face the grave having grown up in the sixties, the progress of music really stalled about abvba's time. ( not knocking )

  • He's got sadness down. Its like my feelings in a song.

  • Buddy, along with The Everly Brothers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    We had all the very best !

    What a great time for music! No wonder we were so happy in those days!

  • 12 people forgot to turn the volume on.

  • Another favorite of my High School days in the latter 50's. What a loss of talent!

  • Buddy is one of the best R/R singers of all time Thomas Haverstock

  • one day im gonna put a sign that says "Buddy" next to the Holly Wood sign

  • One hundred years from now people who have soul will hear this song and it will touch them as deeply as it touches us today...what a brilliant talent he was.

  • And... EVERYONE! MISS YAA !! xxxxxxxxxxxxxx <3 <3 <3 x

    V.I.P. !! xxx

  • My Grandad LOVEESS you his got his own video of this song!!....

    Memorys of buddy holly :( xxxxx

  • WE LOVE U BUDDY R.I.P M8

  • if you dislike buddy holly, you like taking it in the ass.

  • @sausagenpeppers ,,i like both

  • Great song

  • very sweet.

  • oh misery, misery. What's gonna become of me. Such a simple arangement. Almost like a nursery rhyme. What an impact it makes, though. You don't get many perfect songs, but this has to be one of them.

  •  beautiful video and great song!

  • Man Buddy Holly is the best.

  • @iruleyouatguitar

    What a cold soul you must be

  • @iruleyouatguitar - It's a good slide show....but even if it wasn't ignore it, and enjoy the music.

    Buddy Holly is great.

  • @iruleyouatguitar not true

  • @iruleyouatguitar

    you guy's say im wrong, but i have 46 thumbs up's and you have none.

    eat it.

  • @iruleyouatguitar Rofl yes itsfucking dumb as fuck

  • @iruleyouatguitar What are you talking about? It totally fit with that one verse about animated lions, and the part in the chorus where it talks about CGI penguins...

  • @p0ooo0p that was a great comment xD

  • This particular song is a prime example of the direction that Buddy Holly wanted

    his music to develop in to sort of an orchestrated and melodic style that still had

    some cool rock elements on horn not to make it to soft. I think that he was so deeply involved in creating a new form of music that was both rebellious and mainstream and popular at the same time. his style was not as the others of

    his time he was truly an innovator and far ahead of his time.

  • 0:19 double rainbows across the skyyyy

  • Voor meer leuke muziek uit de jaren 50 en 60 luister naar Radio 5 Nostalgia !!

  • I'm 20 and work with the older generation, I love my job and get to listen to ongs like this - when this song comes on though I'm in my little element :)

  • Voor de maand augustus 2010, en de voorlopig van rock and roll ! 1958 dacht ik !

  • ohh buddy(:

  • Golden Tune ....

  • A golden time when record labels weren't run by

    corporate flunkies who couldn't tell a bar of music from

    a bar of soap.

  • Buddy was so ahead of his time,it's a shame he's not with us,but thank good we still have his music.LONG LIVE BUDDY HOLLY and Lubbock,Texas.

  • Hey nikevic1

    you let me know when you get that time machine up and running. i want book passage ,one way back with you, i grew up in the 50s wish i would have never left.

  • i would invent a timemachine just to travel to the '50s :)

  • @nikevic1 as i would i :)

  • muy linda cancion de mi idolo buddy holly

  • I am teaching Skylar about 50s rock-she is 6 - I figure Buddy,Richie & big Bopper are a good start= she allready knows about Elvis- any suggestions?

  • @fodleg try Roy Orbison, Paul Anka, the righteous brothers, Sam cook, Jerry Lee Lewis, Bobby Vee, just for starers

  • Love the strings.

  • Record companies don't care about music nowadays it's all about selling a kid a poster to put on the wall.

  • 0:21 Double Rainbow!!

  • @koeniskoel hhahah i saww that tooo

  • This was played at my Grandads funeral, such a beautiful song. 

  • even at buddy's young age he was really showing how far his musically ability could stretch. It is almost hard to believe that this was written by the same person that wrote Peggy, Sue, rave on etc. This song is almost "show tune" like

  • Being of the older generation, I think we had the best music back then. At least the songs made sense, not like this stuff they have out nowadays. Buddy Holly was great and this was one of my Buddy Holly favorties and also True Love Ways. Wish we had him back.

  • God, I wish i grew up in the 50s. :P

  • @MEF900

    I wish you could have seen it, it was the best of times.

  • @MEF900 I dont hahaha I'd be nothing without my modern technology

  • @MEF900 Yeah, but then you'd be old now ._. And miss out on all the cool technology things, such as the internetz and penguin robots... or something.

  • @MEF900 me too man :) there are three things that I love from the 50´s old fashion, music and cars.

  • @SuperCoolcat90 EXACTLY! :)

  • @SuperCoolcat90 and the fashion?

  • @biancasteptoe yes, I meant clothes

  • @MEF900 It was a great era to be a teenager.

    

  • @MEF900 I think i got erectile dysfunction from this slide show

  • Perfection

  • I love you Buddy!!!!! god, i wish i was alive when this music was popular *sigh*...

  • SaintDick1...you got that right brother. We all got ripped off when Buddy was killed. Without Buddy...we would never have had the Beatles. Imagine what Buddy would have done had he lived. I have always felt he would have been bigger than Elvis was. As a Texas musician living in NYC it's cool to go to Buddy's apartment in the Village.

  • This was recorded in NY in 1958 after Buddy split with the Crickets

  • Buddy Holly is the true King of Rock N Roll - Elvis was glad to record Country as long as he got to sing - not Holly, he refused when they tried to box him in cuz he was from Texas and he was the first to produce his own music too - a complete bad ass - way ahead of the times and the Beatles' greatest influence

  • This song's about the girl that was once mine....

    =(

  • The greatest!

  • 1:33 im into that kind of stuff

  • WONDERFUL music......WONDERFUL Video!

    GOOD WORK!

  • This was an amazing innovative song. His use of pizzicato by the strings to represent raindrops was started by Beethoven, hardly a staple of rock and roll. That plane crash really was the "day the music died".

  • I can't believe that this song wasn't more popular, you never hear it on the oldies stations anymore. Its my favorite Buddy Holly song.

  • I just got back from Vancouver and I went and saw a play called Buddy. It was about his life and his music. I have to say, it was phenomenal. Absolutely fantastic. The gy who played Buddy was amazing.

    Buddy is missed.. The good ones die young, unfortunately.

    RIP Buddy.

  • @CanadianHickChick

    I saw the musical today and yes Zachary Stevenson was AMAZING as Buddy.

    His mother was in the audience and I'm sure she was super proud of her son Zach!

  • @CanadianHickChick I saw that play with my drama class. It was pretty decent, apart for the fact that it was more of a tribute concert than a play about his life. And i was disappointed at the lack of reference to The Day the Music Died. However, it did instill a hunger for buddy holly music within me, so i give it a good score :L

  • @CanadianHickChick

    Saw it too. Probably the same show as you, even. You're right. The guy who played him was great.

  • pure form of music

  • SO MAD THIS GUY DIED AT THE AGE OF 22...UGH...all the good ones die. Buddy Holly, Elvis, Tupac, Randy Rhoads... -_-' God hates good music

  • @HILARIOUSKID33 -

    Think of it this way:

    God LOVES good music-that's why He took them.

    We have left to us the best they gave us while here.

    Try to see Jerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Fats Domino and many others before they leave us. There's a lot of great talent still rockin out there.

  • man i hate my generation of music......

  • LOVE IT LOVE IT!!! Thank you so much for posting!

  • nice i love it cause its raining in my heart
