  • tre voci ben amalgamate, dolci, spirituali. Molto bene!

  • "Answer is blowing in he wind"...Relevant ideas then and now...

  • Are these beatnicks?

  • Please god, please bring me to this time period for just one day :/ I want to know what it felt like so bad :(

  • Es maravilloso ver èstos videos despuès de 40 años, gracias!

  • Sunny days, long skirts, flowers in our hair and songs everywhere. Optimism that it would make a difference, if we just tired hard enough and believed strongly enough.

  • The answer for me that is blowing in the wind is: LIFE...and I wanna LIVE it <3

  • this answer is still blowing in the wind because we haven't found it yet sadly.

  • The Lyrics are as follows:

    (and just so you know, they are in order from bottom to top)

  • How many times must a man look up,

    before he sees the sky?

    And how many ears must one man have,

    before he can hear people cry ?

    And how many deaths will it take till we know,

    that too many people have died?

    The answer my friend is blowing in the wind,

    the answer is blowing in the wind.

    The answer my friend is blowing in the wind,

    the answer is blowing in the wind.

  • How many years can a mountain exist,

    before it is washed to the sea?

    How many years can some people exist,

    before they're allowed to be free?

    And how many times can a man turn his head,

    and pretend that he just doesn't see?

    The answer my friend is blowing in the wind,

    the answer is blowing in the wind.

  • How many roads must a man walk down,

    before you call him a man?

    How many seas must a white dove fly,

    before she sleeps in the sand?

    And how many times must a cannon ball fly,

    before they're forever banned?

    The answer my friend is blowing in the wind,

    the answer is blowing in the wind.

  • この曲、中学の時に毎日聴いた。

  • I have still to meet a woman with her looks. Fantastic, along with Judith Durham, another legend ;)

  • A group that always called out the social injustices out there and would put there money where their mouth was and not back down. This is a a group of singers that should not only inspire other singers, but people as a whole with the amount of integrity they showed.

  • Great song!

  • When Musci Was AT ITS BEST.

  • mary was and shall always be beautiful.

  • Mary was so beautiful. 

  • 1 in here never feel the wind.

  • are they all still living?

  • @purselady2 Mary passed away a couple of years ago, sadly

  • Wow -- Mary Travers is the freak'in "mom" mtRNA|DNA to Gisel Bündchen, among the recent decade's mega-top-dollar-paid fashions models ever...whereas, many contemporaneous critics et al narrow thinkers, discounted Mary's "strong looks" as, at best, a cruder version of the "Julie Christie school of peroxide-locks"; whereas, in retrospect--at least for newer generations--review of this ubber-graphical staging, w/high-key lighting proves my salient point. Not my type, but a lookers all the same!

  • @CarCriticAssessor Lol, WTF does this even have to do with fashion?

  • @Blackadder153: Seriously, Mary Travers -- folk-oracle that you espouse, was a fashionista front & center: Who else would expose their hair & internal organs, by extension, for over 50 years ie, 1/2 a freak'in century to toxic chemicals, for that "just right" pre-teen bright blonde look? Get real: that fact should serve as a head's up that your "neat little disjointed perception", which inherently palliates "fashion" to trite-in-the-mix, is off; it was a part of the '60s' scene!

  • @CarCriticAssessor Who gives a shit? It's all in the music.

  • @godfather1046: Take a hike Mac-Daddy; reality pegs your dross. Your approbation posit bears little correlation to the priorities clearly embodied in Mary's image; she was more than an accidental fashionista, to say the least. Your "granola Kubbia 'ism blow 'in smoke up people's arses" smacks of a Mac Daddy fallacious evaluation of the OBVIOUS historical record, but, instead focuses too acutely on one aspect thereto, relegating any conflicting "valuation in evidence" to x-bin

  • @CarCriticAssessor You and your 'Assessment' will be relegated where they belong, the dustbin, you idiot. I happen to be one who heard them on the capitol mall back in the '60s, voices as pure as the morning sun. Who cares she used chemicals in her hair, you fascist punk? The music does and will stand long after your punk behind is a pile of ashes.

  • @godfather1046: Dear Likely NWO Gulag Oven Ash Factory Fodder, Thank you for your charming recital. It for 1) spells out your masterful command of mixed-metaphor, and 2) asserts that while you may well have "been there|done that", you, perhaps, were out-to-lunch when reality-checks passed around. Your poop-icon-demagogue apotheosis...suggests, among other things, that your fine character development went snookered by an apt song & slow beat dance routine: entertainment vs. birr

  • Blackadder: Reality-check pegs your approbation posit as dross; it bears little correlation to the priorities clearly embodied in Mary's image. She was more than an accidental fashionista, to say the least. Your "granola Kubbia 'ism blow 'in smoke up people's arses" amounts to flatulent winds, indeed ie, a fallacious evaluation of the OBVIOUS historical record, focusing too acutely on one aspect thereto, relegating any conflicting "valuation in evidence" to some proverbial bin

  • @CarCriticAssessor Sorry, I'm not sure what your getting at? So Mary was a fashionable dresser for the time. How is that evil or vile. You'll have to explain. My parents listened to this when I was a kid I didn't know what they looked like until my late teens so.

  • 昔何度も練習しました。フォーク世代 63歳 仙台在住

  • Then Rueben 1 Million, you would be a communist

  • I remember my Mom listening to these songs, and like others, I didn't really understand the lyrics. But she tought me the meaning of the words and the only way I can repay her for that  is to live with peace and love in my heart. The words are amazing, but the lesson is timeless.

  • Excellent

    Grandma Mary

  • If I had a hammer/If I had a sickle...X-D

  • @ruben1million They are great! You don't have to be a commie to like them.

  • I listened to these songs as a child and didn't get their point...I listened to them again as a teen and figured it out. I am hearing them again over 50 they seem to mean more now then ever! My feeling is the lyrics were made in such a way that one can think of life and all it's hurddles and relate

  • She will be a song and memory of my childhood. Sad to learn of her passing. When did she pass?

  • @thears2u September 2009

  • To the person who googled this and got on the wrong site, well sweetie, god bless ya, and maybe you should google up some info about getting a student loan and go back to school and learn proper English , because you my friend are a f----- up mess. Someday I certainly hope that you will understand the lyric of this song as it was meant for you to.. Also may you RWYS (Reep what you sew) Peace out..

  • When music was the lyric, and 3 people harmonizing perfectly, and a couple of guitars . O yes my friends. How many times, is the answer blowin in the wind? ... RIP Mary.....

  • She's beautiful.

  • reptilians all!

  • @NSA666999 This the blueprint for modern music, young one. chill and respect a little bit before you blow it out of the water like that. That's not right. Come on, you are better than that.

  • @NSA666999 You are obviously young if you have never heard of Peter, Paul, and Mary. They are a wonderful trio, but if you like gangsta, you landed in the wrong spot, my friend. You'd have to go into a time capsule if you wanted to do Mary back in the 60s, babe. She was a hot thang though, wasn't she?

  • @NSA666999 Maybe if you were educated ( OH wait your a dumb ass Wanna be Gangsta, LUDACRIS cant sing worth shit, rapping is not I repeat Not Singing, just 3 rd grade rhyming, yea he makes money from people who thing hes all that and a bag of chips , but if listening wa s the only way to save my life I would rather DIE. wont polute my house with that noise

  • @NSA666999 what did you just get off illiterate island? I cant read half of what you typed. But wait your telling me.... you Googled get blown like the wind and this came up so you proceeded on clicking Peter Paul and Mary blowin in the wind 1966 thinking it was Gangster only to find out it wasn't, so then you left a half typed comment telling the story of how you would bang Mary (RIP) and that you cant spell and that you actually think Ludacris is gangsta lol.

  • perfection.

    

  • You really  get a sense of the immutability of time when you see her today.So beautiful then.Such a meskite now.

  • I was in the high school. I was a sleeper young of twelve, but I like a lot these songs that spoke to my heart and give me the answers that I did not make yet

  • To me she allways looked like marina off Stingray and id do em both ................

  • This is one great song....I have alway's loved them & alway's will.

    Thanks for sharing this with me..

    God Bless

  • WAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • was born in 1963!! luv this song i think that the 60`s were all about trying to deal with the 

  • One of the most gorgeous girls to ever walk on this Earth !!!!

  • mary travers sure was beautiful back in them days.

  • The best harmony in the world besides Simon and Garfuncle!!

    Love it and play it over and over in my car!!!

  • This song is relevant today.

  • @soxfan801 I used to mow Peter's lawn in Woodstock when I was a kid....They would come into Deanie's an always leave my mom a $5 tip even for coffee and cake...That was a lot of money in 1966.My wife and I met them in Phoxnix years later at a show. The best always. You cant replace music that was made back then. Dave

  • 42 (uppenbarligen)

  • This song started the "great hopes" of the 60's.

  • From the time when people actually sang about something.

  • This is the definitive version of the Dylan song. However you may question his singing abililty, you can't deny the fact that Dylan was an excellent songwriter, indeed the best of his generation.

  • She's a beauty

  • Bush 43 should've listened to this song, I think he maybe would've gotten a clue. Maybe!

  • I cry as I listen to this. It is SOOO evocative of that time.

  • there is no wind where the person who disliked this lives

  • They sang such beautiful harmonies together. A trifecta of perfection. <3

  • RIP Mary.... What is even more sad, almost 50 years later the answer is still blowing in the wind.

  • I'd marry her.

  • I miss Mary...

  • 23. was i right?

  • Mary Travers is just impossibly luminous. I watch her and I'm mesmerized like a 3-year-old child. I can only begin to imagine how important her beauty was to the popularization of folk music and ultimately to the social consciousness of the upcoming generation.

    That said, they harmonize gorgeously and that should never be dismissed as mere "cover" artists. They really do bring something very important to the song. I can hear The Byrds and The Mamas and The Papas waiting to unfold.

  • Thumbs Up If This Song Brings Back Memories!

  • I was a very young man then. I remember staring at Mary Travers because I thought she was gorgeous!!!! Plus I liked the music!

  • @OldTimerGuy58 - She was definitely gorgeous...

  • A song sing of my innocence the answerers took years to know and now I wish I didn’t

  • r.i.p mary

  • They also performed this on a January 1964 filmed episode of "THE JACK BENNY PROGRAM".

  • It was about civil rights.

  • This is one of those songs that really speaks truth about the human condition, then and now.Great song. And yes the 60s and 70s were an amazing era of music. Today it is all about the profits not about art. It is like a video I was watching, some rapper that said the industry don't care a thing about you, but the industry cant make a dime with out you.

  • I grew up listening to music from this era. Musicians had so much more talent back then. I'm a punk who started a punk/metal band in 1984 but I really appreciate this kind of music. Great stuff ;)

  • @VicSoxUK That's so great to hear man, I'm a total metalhead, but I LOVE this music to pieces! Nothing will ever surpass the greatness of the 60s and 70s music - and social movements - in my opinion!!

  • Bob Dylan : "The answer my friend is marijuana in my lungs" Fucking junkie

  • Let's not forget who actually wrote this song

  • I don't think some people realize this song was written by bob dylan--and not even at his prime.

    Still, peter, paul & mary's version is excellent.

  • i dont care about what others say, pop may be whats new, but im a teenager and love Journey, the beatles and Peter paul and Mary!

  • No one like this today. It's a shame. The 60's was such a great time of peace & love. I fear we will never experience anything like it ever again. :(

  • @MrYaesu840

    Amen brother!

  • @MrYaesu840

    Amen brother lived that time myself, the riots, Nam and a lot of hate for a lot of people.

  • @MrYaesu840  I lived through the 60's. And that is one of the dumbest comments I've ever seen. I wouldn't know where to begin...

  • who is mary in the vid? XD

  • She was so beautiful when she was young. Unbelievable voices!!

  • great song !

  • Looking back, it is amazing that we thought there was some deep meaning in such a fatuous lyric. Imagine the impact of this song if Mary had been fat, frowsy, and plain....

  • wow was paul ever pretty.

  • Awesome!

    

  • Wow!! Beautiful!!! Their stil relevent today!! What memories! Thanks for sharing this one!!---Lee

  • fab

  • This is a great video, thanks so much for sharing it with us.

  • This is a beautiful song , Their one of the great singer of the 60"s, love their music !

  • Thank you for putting this video up, it is beautiful.

  • Aren't ALL songs an artists philosophy on life?????

  • so bad!

  • Just beautiful...What more can be said!!!

  • Beautiful Mary..beautiful Mary...you had such..harmonies to fly with..God bless

  • beautiful song...

  • Man I had forgotten how beautiful this girl is.

  • Sadly most of today's youth are more focused on the beat and rythms and care very less on what the song is all about.

  • WHY WOULD PEOPLE DISLIKE THIS?! Maybe they don't like wind blowing?well thats dumb

  • Remember what these songs represented and what they helped achieve... and i believe they could help rally people now. We all need to pull together and take our country back to basics and quit letting banks run out government... for the people, by the people!!

  • Oh wow! My parents played their music while we were growing up and I LOVE hearing it again after all this time!!! WONDERFUL! Thanks for posting!

  • Comment removed

  • I love their version of this song, its amazing but i do have one question... why is it that they don't give some credit to the bass player?? i mean he's playing throughout the whole thing yet he gets no camera footage, no credit and people have no clue who he is.

  • This was a painful time in music. It seemed like anybody with a guitar and voice was had a serious message to lay on you. Dylan wised up and went electric and the rest is history.

  • @surfstomp Um.... "painful"?? The 60s were an incredibly dynamic, very diverse and wonderfully creative time in the history of music: EVERYBODY got their chance to get on radio, it seems, to get their artistry and message out to the people. Dylan's early, pre-electric songs were some of the most influential, world-changing pieces of music written in the 20th century. They represented the yearnings for change, of a generation which was tired of war and wanted to break the cycle of violence.

  • mary bout serious as fuck.

    

  • i'm mesmerized with mary

  • mary was one hot 60s chick :)

    with a very good voice

  • mary took peter and paul like a fuckin hoover

  • We said it then , I say it today, Peace

  • ron paul can catch the wind

  • @ddepos14 not quiet.

  • bueatiful<3

  • This band is the legendary Peter, Paul, and Mary from 1966. This song was orignally recorded by Bob Dylan. It was a song written in protest to the Vietnam war. A lot of radio stations would not play anything by Bob Dylan, so Peter, Paul, and Mary did this version and it got air time.

  • Oh minabalay47!!!

    I was going to say that I agree with you that it is the best version... I wanted to answer you... I have just begun with this kind of things like YouTube... AND I SAW YOUR SPLENDID VIDEO! Who is singing? My God!!!

  • Nere Stonehorse matiak oso gogokoa zuen Bob Dylan, beno, baita maite dudan beste batek ere gogokoa du. Neri, kanta honen doinua izugarria iruditzen zait,

    Orokorrian, musikan, lehen, doinu ederrekin geratzen nintzen; orain konturatzen naiz, askotan, doinu eder hauen atzian mezu izugarriak daudela. Aupa Bob!

  • Best of the best

  • Hey it's just music. Calm down

  • Remember when artists sounded the same live as they do on the albums?

  • peter looks depressed when singing this song.

  • Hey,well said,absolutely true,so lets all get your heads out of the sand an do something,they are controlling us now,gotta be danderous,

  • This is not just a song, it is a philosophy of life...

  • praise Jesus Christ for this testimony by Peter, Paul and Mary.

  • Linda canção!!! beautiful!!!

  • We were very young in those days -- we were in love with Peter, Paul and Mary (mostly Mary) on he Mall on that day. Martin was there and it was wonderful. What a great future was there for all of us.

  • one person is blowin in the wind...:)

  • Bob Dylan wrote the song, but it took Peter, Paul & Mary to immortalize it. Dylan himself thought so at the time. Thank you, Bob Dylan, and thank you Peter, Paul and Mary. I look forward to seeing you and hearing you sing somewhere in another life--or another dimension. Blessings to Peter Yarrow and Paul Stookey.

  • And what have you done to impress generations?

    The sixty something,seventy,and eighty somethings saved the rights you have to even speak free like that. Cherish them all, as they're numbers are declining fast.

  • This crap and this generation now sixty something fucked up the country so deeply it will never come back.

  • @PetroniusSatyricon69 wow, you really are an idiot, I'd love to hear how you come to this conclusion

  • Comment removed

  • @PetroniusSatyricon69 Don't criticise that which you don't understand (and probably never will).

  • @PetroniusSatyricon69 Nope. Do your homework, Petronius. GREED in the form of a military-industrial complex, corrupt lobbyists, bought-and-sold so-called civil servants, and the rise of unbridled capitalism and corporatism in bed w/ our lawmakers(a/k/a facism) is what has effed up our country. Leave the folkies out of it, will ya. You haven't a CLUE ... probably because you weren't born or even lived during this time at all. DO YOUR HOMEWORK before you ignorantly spout off next time!

  • @lanikaigal1

    Well said. Many have lost their dignity. They speak of what they do not know. If people would read history and reflect on it then perhaps they will see a different point of view. Nothing is in black and white only.

  • Comment removed

  • Yes we all miss Mary. I saw them 4-5 x in Westburry NY & Peter once said it was there vavorid place to play. How young they all looked & real Pretty Mary looked. This was there Signature song...

  • how many of today's popmusicians would be capable of doing something like this?

    the answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind.

  • @MMKursch right on i totely agree i wish mary wher still alive

  • @Annabear2628 I know Mary passed away recently, but are the two guys still around, I hate people who critisise different eras, I'm an 80s child, but have the utmost respect for every era's music and people, and I wish people from the 60s, would listen to 80s and 90s, and vice versa, there is a billion great songs out there from 20s to today

  • @redredreds100 -- Well said!

  • @MMKursch Justin Bieber

  • @MMKursch There are many poets still in this world and true musicians..sadly their fame is blowing in the wind,being unnoticed..

  • God rest Mary Travers. You are with John Lennon, John Denver & Jesus. Peace.

  • Fairy Queen Mary, you lead us still, we follow.

  • I LOVED THIS MUSIC WHEN I WAS A KID,AND I STILL DO .THANKS FOR POSTING.

  • GREAT VOCALS!

  • would like to smack stupido that disliked this song!

  • @Blabulu ...so would I!!

  • her hair is so 2011!!!

  • This is a awsome song, and video. Now if people only would learn to live right and learn from there past mistakes.

  • Concordo com a Marijuanaruiva.

  • Gosh was Mary hot in the 60s.

  • it cant be surpast in my humble opinion peter paul mary love yas

  • Preciosa. O.K. Maravillosa, esto sí es música.

  • for those who believes in freedom

  • @carel7765 >for those who believes in freedom who believe, as in: I believe you believe he, she, it believes we believe you(plural) believe they believe That detail aside, you are SO right. I have never heard another song that spelled out the dangers of poor international relations. Like the Korean thing for the moment ..."How many times must the cannonballs fly, before...." Peace unto you and to yours, and may the cannonballs never fly your way. Bilou
  • they are a group who changed lives
