I was born in 1958. I remember being six years old and having this album. I loved this song and my parents bought me the album. Although I no longer have the LP, this song transports me to a much better time. Thank you for posting.
Does anyone else get instantly transported back to their childhood like I do when this song plays? I vividly picture my older cousin's transistor radio on a picnic table at the Lake. Peter and Gordan were playing in the background. My younger cousins were all in the Lake frolicing in the water. Grandma and Grandpa were grilling burgers. My Mother, and Aunts were setting out food. A day oh so memorable, so much a part of my past and brought to life via Peter and Gordan on Youtube.
@60otaku3 umm nope, don't think I was suggesting that. Perhaps you misunderstood. I think it's cute lolz, and I never said it was a bad thing. No I am not always a wry face. But I can say that if I did a (^.^)Y face every time I met someone, I think I would scare them off.
Wow, it's as good today as it ever was. P&G were trying to make the best sound they could, and they were wildly successful! It's a real classic that evokes uncontrollable memories when heard.
@60otaku3 I see you have a very large playlist , for some reason they limited me to 200 per playlist,go figure.I see you have many of the same tunes as I do on your list. You might like this by Patsy Cline,I Fall To Pieces.Very old song but timeless.I am very new to this and I don't know how to actually share anything yet or I would.
It was great growing up with this music..So many bands and so much music to enjoy. Being born in 1946 put me right in the swing of things with rock' n' roll, folk, and country music...Thanks..
I was a junior in high school when this song came out. I had a an 8 transistor radio and it got a lot of use. KFRC 610 and KYA 1260 was the main rock and roll station's in San Francisco and the East Bay. Every body seemed to have a radio and carried them around like cell phone's are today. I still have my radio and it still works. I loved the 1960s. It was the greatest time to be alive. I went to Vietnam in 1969 and when I got back thing's had changed so much, and not for the better.
Ah yes, memories of my days in Veitnam, Laos, and Thailand...my war went on & on. During Desert Storm, I bought audiotapes of these songs in Saudi Arabia, and played them every night...memories unlimited!
@Wagneryan Wow! So many memories. I remember the Vietnam war all to well. I was at Kent the year after the protest resulted in innocent children being killed by innocent children. My Grandmother had a boarding house there during that time, and told me about the helicopters flying over her house....
everytime i hear this song i always remember a particular girl i had a crush back when i was in high school...Due to our different status in life, i never had a chance to talk to her...though sometimes i would catch her giving me a stolen look..
I once heard Del Shannon tell the story of the time that he and Peter & Gordon were on tour in Australia when they asked him if he minded if they covered his song "I Go To Pieces" . . . he supposedly said to them, "go for it," and the rest is history . . . although I do love Del's version of the song as well . . .
I always wondered what influenced my song writing, and after listening to, and following along with my guitar, I discovered that songs like this, and others of that era, are what did it. This is such a great song, and we should all be glad that YouTube is available to us.
I'm 20 years old and <3 this song. The voices, the guitars and everything else makes this song a classic song. What happened to the music industry? Why in the hell is Lil Wayne and LMFAO #1 on the billboard charts? I do enjoy some GaGa, Ke$ha, and DEV as guilty pleasures but nothing beats this. Thank god I have parents that grew up in the 60s and graduated from high school in the mid-70s. Long live the classic oldies!
@ryckoffr The reason Japanese AND European records were a higher quality with out all the pops crackles is because the US records were mostly recycled vinyl with many impurities in the carbon. Classical music in contrast was never recycled only the good stuff .
..I really feel like I'm going to pieces, but not in that sense..it's just that my soul can't stay the same while listening to this beautiful song! :)Thank you for uploading it and for sharing your love for this golden age of music
I remember loving this as a teen, I'm now 25 and even though I'm a girl,this song really hit the spot for me when I broke up with this guy, I was like wow, I thought I was the only one who felt these feelings and emotions and its beautiful how they're put in song.
Thanks for posting such a great tune from a time in my life I was truly happy. Songs like this from the 60's were greatly responsible for my love of music. They sound as good today as they did all those years ago. Sadly the kids today have no idea what real music is all about.
beautiful... it is amazing how deep some of these songs went inside my heart. sometimes it is surprising to see how the songs shaped my thinking and emotion, some good, some not so good. either way, they still hold some kind of importance and feeling. they are keys to a whole world of perception.
So very, very well said . You hit it on the nail. Growing up in that era of music carried me into my adult years and it saddens me that it is gone ... but not forgotten.
60otaku3 - thanks very much for uploading this superb Peter and Gordon hit. People always say what a fine arrangement and production it is. I’m sure Peter Asher had more than a little to do with that part, as he later became of music’s best producers.
By the way, I Go to Pieces has some of the greatest rock and roll torch song lyrics:
“I go to places we used to go
But I know she’ll never show.”
I used to love playing this on the air during my dj days and still love to hear it.
@BobWhiteRewind Could it be Sir Paul McCartney may have had some influence on their career!?!? Although, he had nothing to do with the creation of this song, he certainly gave them a bevy over the years including, perhaps, their finest:"Woman"! P.S. 60otaku3 I hope you are holding your own, my Japanese friend! Thanks for the upload, it sounds fabulous!
@redsfanstu Yes, Sir Paul really influenced the career of Peter and Gordon. Besides giving songs to them, “Nobody I Know” was actually written by Lennon and McCartney. Still, I Go to Pieces is my favorite from Peter and Gordon. Also, kudos to Del Shannon for writing this great song & recording the first (and similar) version of it. Interesting how Paul continues performing while Peter concentrated on producing & record co. management No need to go into the Paul McCartney- Jane Asher connection
@BobWhiteRewind This song was written by Norman Smith, who was the OTHER guy in the recording booth at EMI Abbey Road or just about all the Beatle records up to 1966.
@BobWhiteRewind Thanks, I did! I think that there were at least two actual Beatle connections with Del Shannon: he was the first American artiste to cover a Beatle tune (from Me To You, and he was working closely with George Harrison at the time of his untimely death. They recorded his "Runaway",and he certainly would have made a competent replacement or Roy Orbison as a Wilbury.

I can remember in 1964, I was in the 7 th grade and my older brother playing this song over and over when he broke up with his then girlfriend. What a memory! Thanks for jogging my mind with thi song.
This song was on the radio when i got on the plane leaving Nam...funny when it landed in Atlanta, it was on at that time....met the girl who I have been with for 42 years.....Thanks for putting this out their......1949sorful
rommell83 your words are so-o-o true. I am in the same place in life that you are and when I hear songs like this I want to go back to a happier time but I know I can't. I have alot of great memories but I would give ANYTHING to do it all again. Thanks for posting this wonderful song 60otaku3.
1/27/2011 Great advice from rommell83! As well as comments bygrickard3 and 60otaku3...History is to be preserved, as that era was the seeds of rock 'n roll. And to rommell83: I am a 1953 "boomer", buy am a "young"57, still reliving daily the era of the 60's, at least musically speaking. It makes me feel good, although I won't ever be 10y.o. in 1963 again. Playing guitar as I have since 1966, helps greatly to keep the spirit alive. It's not too far away, when no boomers will be on earth. Enjoy!
i love peter and gordon but all i ever here is people writing songs for them.. del shannon wrote this one. and paul wrote world without love.. hmm someone show me the light!!
Such a beautiful song from peter and Gordon. The lyrics themselves say so much; love that is unrequited but savored never the less. The beauty of a song is its ability to convey or stir emotion in the listener and this definately does.
im 23 and Im deeply disappointed with the music today...what happened to passion and romance in music!!!! Thank you 60otaku3, This and among many others are truely timeless classics!!-Robby
@MiGrandeCazzo I wont lie... i'm 30 and like some modern stuff. BUT there really is alot of pure shit out now too. I listen to more of this old stuff than anything else.
@MiGrandeCazzo I'm 30 and disapointed too. This old stuff was so much better. Today it's all about the money and awards. More of a popularity contest than anything in my opinion!
Thank goodness some YouTubers have the great sense to upload great classic songs such as this one for this and future generations to listen to. Mainstream oldies FM stations hardly ever touch this song anymore and one must subscribe to Sirius or another satellite music service to hear this and other lost classics on the airwaves these days.
Thanks so much...super song!! Many memories from the past...

@BobWhiteRewind Thanks, I did! I think that there were at least two actual Beatle connections with Del Shannon: he was the first American artiste to cover a Beatle tune (from Me To You, and he was working closely with George Harrison at the time of his untimely death. They recorded his "Runaway",and he certainly would have made a competent replacement or Roy Orbison as a Wilbury.

@redsfanstu Yes, Sir Paul really influenced the career of Peter and Gordon. Besides giving songs to them, “Nobody I Know” was actually written by Lennon and McCartney. Still, I Go to Pieces is my favorite from Peter and Gordon. Also, kudos to Del Shannon for writing this great song & recording the first (and similar) version of it. Interesting how Paul continues performing while Peter concentrated on producing & record co. management No need to go into the Paul McCartney-Jane Asher connection

オタクさんへ
これまた｢寂びの効いた名曲｣のアップ､毎度ながら感謝いたします｡私もこのグループの楽曲の中では一番好きな曲です｡66年当時聞いた話では｢ビートルズの曲を初めて全米に紹介したのがこの曲の作者であるデル･シャノンであった事からそのお礼としてピーター&ゴードンが吹き込んでリリースした｡｣との話を聞いた事がありますが､今となっては真偽の程はわかりません｡小生のターンテーブルにも良く乗ってくる名曲だと思いますが･･｡

こんばんわUNIT4PLUS1さん、コメントをありがとうございます！
デルシャノンがロンドンでビートルズと競演した際、「フロムミートゥユー」を是非カバーさせてくれないかとジョンレノンに頼み込み、大ヒットには至りませんでしたがアメリカで当時まだ無名だったビートルズにとって初めてのチャートイン曲になったというエピソードを思い出します。
デルには先見の明があったんですね。

rommell83 your words are so-o-o true. I am in the same place in life that you are and when I hear songs like this I want to go back to a happier time but I know I can't. I have alot of great memories but I would give ANYTHING to do it all again. Thanks for posting this wonderful song 60otaku3.

1/27/2011 Great advice from rommell83! As well as comments bygrickard3 and 60otaku3...History is to be preserved, as that era was the seeds of rock 'n roll. And to rommell83: I am a 1953 "boomer", buy am a "young"57, still reliving daily the era of the 60's, at least musically speaking. It makes me feel good, although I won't ever be 10y.o. in 1963 again. Playing guitar as I have since 1966, helps greatly to keep the spirit alive. It's not too far away, when no boomers will be on earth. Enjoy!

This was probably Del Shannon`s greatest achievement, a soulful balad that still
penetrates to the heart of every young man whose first true love walked out and
never returned. Thanks Del, from Bernie.

Such a beautiful song from peter and Gordon. The lyrics themselves say so much; love that is unrequited but savored never the less. The beauty of a song is its ability to convey or stir emotion in the listener and this definately does.

Thank goodness some YouTubers have the great sense to upload great classic songs such as this one for this and future generations to listen to. Mainstream oldies FM stations hardly ever touch this song anymore and one must subscribe to Sirius or another satellite music service to hear this and other lost classics on the airwaves these days.
