  • 'tis is for you, bebe ko.. may u rest in peace.. i will always love you and hope that you'll be there for me when its my time to face our Creator.. love you always..

  • yes only love can breakyour heart but it will also heal it again with another love

  • Neil certainly has some great sing-a-long songs and this is one of them...in fact, I'm singing along right now! Love it.

  • superb, i'm 50 now <3

  • I in me, ad a funny thought< goes like this, tis not as i type rememorable, twas t just connected so heartily to the plan = odd uns rule now i

  • Neil is one of the greatest lyricists of all time. Oh and he kills at guitar.

  • somehow the footage fits the song and the rythym and of course you wonder if the couple were happy

  • ca ne vous tente pas d'en savoir plus sur sandra, ou peut-être que vous préférez que des abrutis d'éditeurs décident ce qui est bon oui pas pour vous

  • Truer words were never spoken . . .

  • Just stoppin by again to have a listen. Always great. Thank you Dog. Needed to hear this. ...for some reason. Stay cool comrade. :)

  • beautiful song but does ANYONE understand the lyric "I have a friend I've never seen"

  • Saddest song he ever wrote and I'v found that it tells the Truth about what we all "need" and "want," but it's just a Fantasy that will never be.

    "Love" DOES break people's hearts.

  • @americaneagle2076 the saddest thing is u can live a thosand lives and only remember 1

  • I love Neil Young, but doesn't he sound like the old guy from family guy in this song? lol

  • My brother, in times of distress, Neil.......

  • Neil is a poet, artist & musician combined...He's never fails to move me, comfort me or make me smile (or have a good cry)...This song to me encompasses every being that you love in your life - family, friends, dear pets...it's beautiful.

  • Big Daddy brought me here

  • I ALSO LOVE THIS SONG, WHY CAN NOT MUSIC BE LIKE THIS AGAIN, I AM54YRS OLD, THE MUSIC TODAY, WILL NEVER BE REMEBERED LIKE THIS MUSIC, BACK IN THE DAY.

  • Absoluely love this...brings back memories when I was a teen and would sit in my bedroom listening to this over and over again on my turntable...them were the days.

  • I had seen these exact same images but in another beautiful song named advice for the young at heart.. which I didnt fund anymore here on utube. have u seen it? how did u get these images? I've read this is from a wedding in chicago in the early twenties. thanks for this, anyway. beautiful job, here. thanks

  • and iamjd32's musical taste rides on the short bus. A "zillion" times better??...ok, whatever you say jd. Can i get you a cookie?

  • it can make or break your Heart ----- wonder -what is the percentage of broken hearts between 16 and 28

  • my dads friend is a limo driver and Neil young always wants him to chauffeur him when he comes to Toronto

  • i dont care about the dog ....its the song and its NEIL YOUNG......old man look at my life i'm alike like you now.

  • This video is wonderful alargedog.

  • it´s such a great waltz ,,,,,,of course Neil Young is a living Legends ,,still there are some very interesting other interpretations of thois superb composition ,,,,,

  • big daddy!

  • Ok, I'm gonna come out and say it. Saint Etienne's version is a zillion times better and will always be in my heart until the day I die.

    *ducks-to-avoid-tomatoes*

    Peace, love.

  • @iamjd32 Doesn`t matter. Neil wrote it, therefore no one can play it, or do it "better", It`s like a spiritual thing, hearing the voice and instrument of the man who created it, play it.

  • @iamjd32 Your heart rode on the blue bus

  • The emotion this song generates, it breaks my heart!!

  • what video is this from?

    we know neil's music is in the background

  • (insert generic sad story)

  • Very nice indeedy :)

  • For karimoles65

    My heart goes out to you. In 2003-4 I lost my mother, 8 months later, my husband, 8 months later, my father. I found out I was sick. I have recovered from my own dilemma but for all the times you will hear, 'You will get over it.' understand that you won't. You will find a way to live with it. There is a distinct difference. The heart has a way of being so resilient and can break you but also bring you back. It may take some time ... stay strong.

  • I've lost my daughter, her mother, my mother and father, the only thing in my chest is emptiness. Thanks for writing this for me Neil.

  • This is the truest song ever written.

  • @karlmoles65 Beautifully put.

  • @kg3181222 Thank you. 

  • Where on Earth did this movie come from?

  • why has she got a pair of underpants on her head

  • How did 13 people dislike this song?

  • What a voice!! a real inspiration to all up and coming singer/songwriters! Classic!

  • great song

  • Gereat singer/songwriter, I was fortunate to see him in concert back in 2003 at Vicar Street, Dublin, Ireland. This is one of my favourite Neil Young songs.

  • My ex broke my heart and this is the only song I would listen to.. That was 2 years ago, since then I found the most amazing person that I am going to spend the rest of my life with.

  • @biggy7700 behind every cloud

  • @alargedog Me too. But then I lost that 'amazing person.'

  • @biggy7700 hey good for you man..that's the spirit.

  • @biggy7700

    Bet you thought that about the ex...

  • @scotty12347 I can't deny that, yes I thought that.. But this time it's completely different, this time it's not about lust. It's about love and what makes me happy.

  • @biggy7700

    I hope so :)

  • @biggy7700 mine too it hasnt been that long

  • @littlebettyb Well I hope the best for you. You can find many loves in this world but only one soulmate. I'm lucky to have found mine as early in life as I have and thank god everyday for that.

  • @biggy7700 Hi biggy. I too love this song. I was happy to read that you have found that "special" person to spend the rest of your life with. That is absolutely wonderful. I hope that you and yours have many, many happy years together. Cheers my friend.

  • @biggy7700 Hey! Great to see someone make such a happy comment! WTG!

  • Thanks,

    Superbe Neil Young.

  • The groom looks like Derek Jeter of the Yankees.

  • I have always loved this song. I buried my dog George today, and it popped into my head and gave me so much comfort. Grief is the price we pay for love. Thanks Neill - you are such a decent human being and a damn fine guitar player. I'm glad we were both around at the same time and some of the same places tho you're a friend I've never met.Your music is a such a gift. Long may you run my friend.

  • @zenwaitress5

    I am really sorry to hear about your dog. It is always painful to lose someone so good and loyal.

  • @zenwaitress5 sorry to hear about George... loss of a best friend... long may your friend run as well...

  • @zenwaitress5 So very sorry! It broke my heart to read this today. I lost my beloved pug Newman 3 years ago and I miss my boy every day. George is in Rainbow Bridge prancing around with Newman and waiting to see you! My deepest condolences go out to you...you've lost a family member and it is no less painful than losing a human member...

  • @zenwaitress5  You are so right.

  • @zenwaitress5 i dont want to face the day i bury my dog. so sad. I feel for you.

  • @zenwaitress5 I am sorry about your dog George. On the day I put my dog Dan to sleep, the Beatles song-Across the Universe' lyrics "nothing's going to change my world" was playing on the radio in the reception area after he was gone. I am a grown man balling my eyes out, even now 10 months later. but you are so right, grief is the price we pay for love. Thank You.

  • Ever notice not a single woman has long hair? including the little girls?

  • Only Love Can Break Your Heart ...

  • @stratman123 Yey I love what you say below--people who tend to live longer

    have JOY in their hearts and find some of the most trivial things in life to be beautiful et peut etre find their soulmate: their other half the person that makes them complete.

    This is a lovely old song. To the Marmite girl xx

  • brilliant video choice, enjoyed it so much, thanks.

  • old man neil sings with a heart of gold to a cinnamongirl on a harvest moon........corny but true

  • What a beautiful song.

  • Like if Big Daddy brought you here!*

  • This is a lovely old song. Timeless.

    combien de fois peut etre rompu mon coeur avant que je vois et embrasser mon bebe

    elle a promis qu'elle viendrait

    a l'oiseau stupide je t'aime xx

  • I remember I first heard this on big daddy ..I listen to it all the time

  • Can you tell us where this clip is from? I see "San Diego Dance Band" on the drum and would like to know more about it.

  • @hznfrst Google "Marriage of Miss Rose Carmel and Mr Solly Gershcowit (1925)." There is some debate as to whether this was indeed filmed in London or San Diego. Either way, it is awesome.

  • @gooselax27 Thanks!

    

  • What a privilege to grow up with this brilliant musician and poet - and the choice of this old footage only made the song more poignant.

  • I have to thank I Blame Coco for letting me know this beautiful song

  • throughout the literary history in nearly every culture...heros are defined by their unique, talented and deep wisdom of soul, who can lay down words and/of music as a foundaton for others to stand, lean or hang on to... Neil Young has long provided a talent deserving of hero status. He has saved more than a few lives.

  • I completely fell in love with neil after I heard this song back in "79.

  • God bless us and our grandparents xx

  • 11 people never been in love

  • A song is never old or new, but only good or bad. This one is wondeful!!

  • rumour has it he's canadiian!

  • So very thankful for the posting of this very beautiful and touching song. Thank You.

  • one of the first songs I learned to play on the guitar 3 chords D Am and G

  • my love broke my heart :'(

  • lol at 2:10 woman: what in carnation is that?! man: i believe that is some sort of camera dear...

  • Comment removed

  • A man who told me he loved me sent me this song. I don't know who he is.

  • Awesome description. Educational purposes only. We all need that.

  • Forget money.Every thing changes.

  • AWESOME ! But check out the Saint Etienne version as well ! Back in the day i thought this was an original song of theirs ! The wee lassie`s cute as f^*k also ! Peace Ye`All !!

  • @pspiddy Don't people who fall in love get married? Sheesh!

  • Why is the video of a wedding when the song specifically talks about love...

  • Yes, Only Love Can Break MY Heart!!

  • All the ppl in the video are ghosts now.

  • @chat099 Thanks for that creepy thought.

  • I think very few "famous" people in this world are as down to earth and unpretentious as Neil Young seems. He has stayed true to his style of music all these years. I really don't think he was ever interested much in breaking any sales records, he just wanted to share his art.

  • @PlanTonto I totally agree with you. Neil Young is that rare exception who creates music for the sake of music. All you have to do is watch him perform (I was fortunate enough to see him live), and you can see how much he loves music. Staying true to himself must have caused him more than a few difficulties throughout the years but he is apparently, a man with an iron conviction. Kudo's to him for marching to his own drum.

  • What a beautiful and sad song. Too truthful I suppose...

  • There's something so beautiful about songs about melancholy.  This is one of those.

  • I don't understand the relationship with the millionairs in the past and love in the present.Are you saying love started in the 60's?

  • great video

  • hahaha i only knew i blame coco's version, didn't even know there was an older one^^

  • Peace out my Niggas!!!!!!!! A bitchin Hippy love song for me.ha ha

  • That was wonderful!!!!!

  • that lady had head undies

  • Woahhhh

  • lol the people in the video are like...IS THAT A CAMARA?! OMG. xD

  • Cool Video...Long gone are most of the faces in this video....Thanks for putting it up!

  • @roysgirl58 yup its an early1920s wedding.. that makes the youngest people in this video at least 100 years old,its a safe bet their all gone.enjoy your life,if you lose your love,find another,because life is too short ,and forever is a long time.

  • Never really was impacted by this song until I heard it with this video, which makes you realize the beauty and genius of it. This was from a time when children called their fathers "papa," when men had to be really tough, and a good stogie was the sign of success and wealth. It was the generation of the young children here that fought and died in WW II. Funny thing is that over a half million have viewed this on YT but probably most of those in the film clip never saw it at all.

  • this is a song whereby I think...I wish i wrote it! Great stuff and true....only love can break your Heart...

  • my brother sammy was the one that turn me on to neil young. hes past but ever time i hear his songs make me smile and sad

  • Fits well with the footage

  • Sometimes You Get your Hearth Broke and never get it Fixed again I Know

  • saint etienne is much better.

  • "Only Love Break Your Heart"~こんな素敵なラヴ・ソング、偉大な"After­TheGoldRush"~愛しきかなニール・ヤング

  • Thanks for posting this window into the past. I love to see the way people dressed. How things have changed! No saggy pants back then and no tattoos, except on dock workers.

  • A 'REAL' song!

  • i have been listening to this song for thirty four years and it has no time line.perfect.

  • Neal, how can anyone be sure right from the start?

  • neil young my hero

  • This is overwhelming. You're great, Neil.

  • Try to check Saint Etienne cover version.

  • Great video, fantastic song. Love all those young flappers looking for love at someone else' wedding!

  • Only love can break your heart

  • Wow, I love this. Not only a great song but entrancing video. Do you have more? Great job, thank you.

  • such a lovely song and the film footage is phenominal xxxxxxxx

  • 8 people should be shot

  • We have an old home movie from the late 50's early 60's my Dads about 5 or 6. Every time i see it i get upset , Seeing every one in a little slice of time, video quality just like this one a little sped up. I think it reminds me that life is so short .That some day will all be in a slice of time.

  • @whammer561 The older you get, the faster the video plays.

  • luv you all..

  • i love niel young song i had to listen his song i havent heard ,so great

  • A lovely old song. There's something sad in knowing that all the joyous people in the video are now only faded memories and empty specters. To once be young, in-love and have endless hopes and dreams ahead of you-then, in the blink of an eye-reduced to nothing more than flickering images on a grainy piece of film. Where does time go? Enjoy it while you can...

  • @stratman123 I wonder what those people would think about being alive again on the internet. Something they probably could never imagine.

  • @stratman123 that is so beautiful-

  • @TheEDZEPPELINBAND Thank you. That's nice of you to say.

  • @stratman123 Nicely put

  • @3connerc Thanks!

    

  • @stratman123 -- You are so right. What a fleeting thing life is. . . .

  • @stratman123 well said and so true

  • @stratman123 I tottaly agree...shit...I hate to die. . :(

  • @stratman123 What You say in Your comment of this beautiful Neil Young song is so touching, so true, so sad because It's true. Really, where does time go? Greetings from Finland!! And let's keep our hearts young at least!!

  • @helithemaddog Thank you.

  • @stratman123 that was some deep shit

  • @kylehall44 Ha Ha! Thanks...I think...

  • @stratman123 oh yeah not hatin

  • @stratman123 Very well said. I think the people who tend to live longer are not so much the ones that watch what they eat and are health concious, although it helps, but it's the people who cotinue to have joy in their hearts and can find some of the most trivial things in life to be beautiful. The way this country and others treat their seniors, especially our government, is terrible. It's like ok, here's your monthly check for busting your ass all your life, hurry up and die. Terrible...

  • @stratman123 well said...what you say is very true. In the end we all are reduced to just someone's memories and theirs for ours...love is a powerful l emotion indeed ..

  • @stratman123 these people are not gone, they are still in our minds and thoughts, if we know the past we will never forget them untill we see tham again on the other side...

  • @stratman123 Yes-it has broken my heart...

  • Christina Wrightthis songs for you from David Motto

  • S2

  • if death and adultery etc. can break your heart, haven't you loved those persons/things before? Love breaks your heart, 'cause you have always loved something and everything ends, soo..

  • ^ If death and adultery break you're heart, it's because of love

  • @bhking321 Your right. I read someone's comment in which it just stated "Only love can break your heart". My first thought was "So can Death" (break your heart). I was going to repy with that but then I came to the same conclusion you did. I lost my husband and I discovered that the greater the love, the greater the pain. I never knew I could hurt so bad and still be alive. I loved and adored him so much and miss him even more. So it's true, It's the love.

  • @Msdistarr Only love can heal your heart.

  • I have a friend I've seen - only love can break your heart....

  • When You were Young and on your own..

  • the guy who's looking at you all the time

    can't stop looking back at him

    looks like Farin Urlaub in schwarz weiß

  • brilliant video to match a classic song and yes Neil, one can die of a broken heart so only love can truly break one's heart

  • Hatred among mankind can also break your heart.

  • @StefanKukhuve

     hey man

    do you have to be racist

    im not jewish, but someones gonna get offended and kick the shit outa you

  • @StefanKukhuve Bet you feel real good about yourself posting racist comments on youtube man. Nice.

  • @StefanKukhuve Hey man, what's this about? Racism isn't nice, how would you like it if someone was racist towards you? It's a tad bit offensive, so could you try and not post things like this.
