  • I liked this song before it was on moulin rouge

  • Beautiful video! Thank you. One of my favorite songs, but I hadn't realized how many had sung it along with being integral parts of the movies like Moulin Rouge and Untamed Hearts. And still after viewing other performances, Nat King Cole remains my favorite. He doesn't just sing the words, you can tell he feels them. I loved what you did with the classic artwork and would like to see more such videos.

  • while listening to this i started hearing drums and an electric guitar and thought what the heck? then i realized i had pandora on haha

  • A real "True Classic" way up on anylist ! Yes even tingles and goosebumbs!

  • Old King Cole was a merry old soul, and a merry old soul was he .... I know of Nat King Cole from both my parents and from his Christmas album, but this song is such an amazing find to me. His voice is so rich and soulful; I am still moved to tears by his singing. I am happy to hear this song. Thank you.

  • That was beautiful...

  • Thanks for the nice video of the great old song.

  • Wisdom.

  • i never heard of this song until i watched moulin rouge. i damn love the movie and instantly fell in love with this song, and still do. such inspirational song. moulin rouge is just one of my fav movies of all time.

  • There was a boy A very strange enchanted boy They say he wandered very far, very far Over land and sea A little shy And sad of eye But very wise Was he And then one day A magic day he came my way And while we spoke of many things, fools and kings This he said to me "The greatest thing You'll ever learn Is just to love And be loved In return" (instrumental interlude) "The greatest thing You'll ever learn Is just to love And be loved In return
  • excellent

  • thanks for putting up the song writer, cos i think the lyrics are great. sounds deceptively simple but like an ancient proverb. i think it is very true too, 'the greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return'. course nat is great too :)

  • The whole composition is sublime, spadecaller, something akin to genius.

  • Dear Spadecaller, as this is my all-time favorite song, and I don't live far from The Griffith Park Observatory, I especially appreciate your composition. The background description is quite enlightening, and the beautiful paintings really enrich the music. I see that I'm not alone in liking your creation. Thank you, a Nature Boy

  • Great job, Spadecaller! Have no words.

  • I love music, especially classics. I love art, especially classics. If I say WoW then tell you I'm a writer, a master at finding the right word ... does it tell you I'm speechless?

  • The images flowed so well with the music and words of the song. Had me dabbing my eyes for a bit. Thanks for such a lovely video.

  • So very moving and heartfelt.

  • This song always brings me to tears. It's just so beautiful.

  • Beautiful song and video! I dedicate this to my very good friend and sis, Sherry (tustles).

  • The composition is so beautiful...

    And NKC's voice seriously gives me goose bumps. I love it.

  • i listen to a lot of different types of music but i always rate nat king cole as the greatest singer ever this is probably my all time fav tune such a voice like velvet chocolate the likes of which will never be heard again sooo good.

  • I am delighted to find that this is the version of this song that I remember so well. Thank you for making such a beautiful video to go with it.

  • Beautiful song,wonderful images.

  • Always loved Nat King Cole singing this...and, now, the history of the song and these great artist to express your interpretation..another awesome production ~Spadecaller~ BraVo!!

  • The 16 Time World Heavyweight Champion, The "Nature Boy" Ric Flair

  • an amazing arrangement and amazing vocal - it sends tingles up my spine.

  • Thank you for posting the picture. They are most appropriate.

  • And Jan Matejko

  • And: there is a much better rendition of this song by Nat Cole, I think 1-2 years later than this one.

  • This video is absolutely amazing. Nat Cole was a musical wizzard with his fabulous, charming and very kind voice, the composition is so emotional, the pictures are perfectly selected and matching very good to this beautiful text. While listening to this music, I stop rushing of the roaring life of today and start thinking of the most substantial element of living...
