Matt Monro - Born Free

[scroggihn]

this man had such a velvet voice and it came out in his songs RIPmattt

[SuperHeroMania]

I never get tired of this song

[SirBartolomew]

Brian's (Rudy's) screensaver.

[samspaino]

I think, this voice, with John Barry's orchestra would sound amazing.

[WEEBAWS]

God bless ya Matt...thanks for that voice.

[sassy7908]

[christina3041]

this for a dear friend of mine dietmar

[Oggie60]

Listen to the words. Back when this was released the cold war was at its height. "Stay free, where no walls divide you" - a reference to the Berlin Wall?

[rewinder47]

Sadly Matt (Terry Parsons) died 7th February 1985 aged only 54 .

[scroggihn]

is he still alive

[duggie0105]

foxy bingo brought me here

[cherry197511]

I prefer just listen to the song not at him.

[mhussain6]

Dexter is the reason for my visit to this video :)

[rewinder47]

No one comes near Matt's version .

[scroggihn]

@rewinder47 bang on

[joaopmpgnr]

Man was born free, and everywhere he is in chains.

[duplan1966]

C'est une chanson décevente et triste

[lineono]

lagu sepanjang masa...

[mdsmagalhaes]

QUE LINDA VOZ.DIVINA.

[petblissbomb]

I can say in all honestly as having the pleasure of meeting Matt Monro, his charm and incredible generosity can only be exceeded by his inimitable amazing voice. I'll never forget him and the song he sang to me that special night. I cry whenever I hear his songs. Another gone too soon.

[Godspine]

DEXTER brings me here.

[zoejade17]

Interesting fact: Matt Monroe used to do exactly what I do now. Walked around the wards at Chorley hospital, cheering up patients, putting on a show, and doing a show for the hospital radio. He was such a kind and wonderful man. He was never given enough credit for his work and his generous heart. RIP Matt Monroe.

[maxwelljustine]

@zoejade17 Monro**

[zoejade17]

@maxwelljustine Thank you, didn't notice that mistake :)

[celio1099]

[simon20031973]

[doug4358]

THIS SONG SHOULD BE OUR NATIONAL SONG.

[Potomacstud]

Uncle Terence used to tell me that it was this song that lifted him up from oblivion , we had tea often and subject of this very song will always be brought up

[Angel321323]

It was no easy task making such a great movie at that time.I can imagine how hard they had been go through.i love nature and the wild animals ,so I love the movie very much.For my personal opinion,I think Matt's singing fits the movie better.It's a bit raw...anyway,love his version better!Sorry,not really good at English!

[TheFestivelights]

I was about 7 years old and I was off school for 6 months because I was knocked over by a car and I can still vividly remember sitting at home watching 'Born Free', the movie on t.v as my mother was ironing and trying to hide my tears. Great movie and a great song.

[Angel321323]

I 've seen this movie on tv many times.Love the movie very much!Great movie and great theme song indeed!Compare to Andy's version,I love this one better!

[Potomacstud]

Frankly , this is the best and the only rendition ever , others pale in comparison , Uncle Terence owns this song

[thePKaiShaw]

Born Freeeeee as Freeeeeee as the wind blows :) :D

Madagascar 2 brought me here...

[KeithAbbott1]

Our very own British Crooner ,one of Sinatra,s favorite singers perfect pitch and effortless vocals !..Keith Abbott(The British Crooner)

[57highland]

@KeithAbbott1 Long before I read your comment about Sinatra liking Matt Monro, I always thought that he (Monro) sounded a lot like Sinatra. Also, I didn't know that he was British.

[KITCHENOFDISTINCTION]

The genius John Barry elevating yet another film.

@zwiiyt Amen!

[dermie12]

love it!

[4PeruLife]

Is this the song from dexter season 1 episode 12 Born Free?

[orionbelt1000]

@4PeruLife No, it's from an old movie, Born Free, which was about a lioness who was born in the wild, but taken in by people when she was an orphaned cub and was raised as a tame lion. Of course, they can't keep a wild animal forever, but they don't want to send her to a zoo either. So, they attempt to reintroduce her into the wild again and again. It's a really good movie, you should watch it :3

[orionbelt1000]

@orionbelt1000 BUT I'm not sure if they did reuse the song in Dexter XD

[MrSkylark27]

@orionbelt1000 did u no that lioness had bitten and broken that woman 's arm twice during the making of that movie ?



[orionbelt1000]

@MrSkylark27 I've known that before I even watched the movie. :|

End of conversation.

[MrSkylark27]

@orionbelt1000 and your point being what exactly ? only affected people reacts with that much emotion . hmm ? 

[jerixthatsxme]

Not here because of Ron Paul but the movie Born Free =) Gotta love the classics!

[Malo64]

Who is Ron Paul ??? ... Matt is an absolute legend ... the clarity and effortless power of his voice are totally unmatched by any other singer, he may of died a relatively young man but he left behind such an immence legacy. wipes the floor with sinatra

[unclebone100]

This is the DEFINITIVE version of this memorable song sung by a memorable singer who left this world much too soon. What a voice!!!! Rest in peace, Matt, and keep on singing in Heaven!

[TheDoah]

/watch?v=bu3rsha1ZtI&feature=B­Fa&list=PL7E559D70B5D4FF35&lf=­autoplay&shuffle=147877 everyone thinks that he was talking about born free by kid rock...

[8210099]

Wonder how many people of the 1m views are here because of Ron Paul. Btw best of lucks in his campaign and I wish I could vote so that I can vote for him. Will try to become a citizen so that I can vote in 2012.

[viavu1]

thank you america; thank you.

[hotchedder]

Freedom, justice, and Ron Paul!

[migu9999]

ron paul, free markets!

[buddyeagle]

I WANT O BREAK FREE.

[superbeziJ]

Man I love Dr. Paul but he loves some old ass music! I will listen to this every day if thats what it takes!

[curigeor28]

damn I thought he meant the kid rock song... that's a good song too though. I wonder if kid rock is a ron paul supporter...

I see it now...

Ron Paul wins the primary, at his acceptance speech kid rock plays his song when all of a sudden ron paul comes in on a giant bald eagle... perfect.

[novaff13]

hahaha, I came here from the ron paul interview too! Hilarious, love my fellow paul tards.

[rjr06g]

I knew he couldn't have meant the kid rock song lol... This makes much more sense

[cwcalderon]

i did !

[RougeSamurai77]

Ron Paul has a good taste in music and cookies..

[nemac23]

Chocolate chip cookies anyone? LOL

[playerf]

@nemac23 lols, you got me!

[TheGRH1994]

Rest In Peace Grandad

[migu9999]

once again Ron Paul is right, beautiful song, stay free!

[cliff185026]

im another person who is here to listened to ron pauls theme song he chose in an interview

[MrPeterified]

Ron Paul is the man and he has a good taste in music.

[migu9999]

Ron Paul president 2012, freedom to everyone! ...and free markets too.

[sh4p3shifter]

@migu9999 yes markets want to be free as well!

[PMInvestor]

I'm here because of the Ron Paul interview to

so this is your favorite song

nice song Mr Paul

may God bless you

[justinnetzel]

Totally here because of Ron Paul! i love how much ron paul fans follow ron paul! so unlike other candidates! Ron Paul 2012!

[DemagogueLOL]

@Ripper389 The thing is Ron Paul will always be running on a 3rd party slate for me unless he wins the nomination for Republicans. I don't see why the other Republicans can't see how Ron Paul would save their party.

Would they honestly change their vote to Obama, or not vote? For me anyone but Ron Paul is a vote for an authoritarian regime.

[acarlisl]

The comment section is now about Ron Paul.

[xanthicpraesidium]

11-11-11 GO GO! Ron Paul

[dhsajdak]

Don't forget to register as a Republican ASAP if you aren't and your state has closed primaries. If Ron Paul doesn't win the primary, he won't be able to win the general election.

[ModernDayPhilospoher]

Thanks for saying Ron Paul's song i thought this was it lol

[gbozic1]

Whether it's Kid Rock, Matt Mornor or Andy Williams, it's all of Dr. Ron Paul's favorite theme song as it is now ours! LOL!

[biglemoncoke]

RON PAUL! SUPPORT FROM CANADA

[parish32]

What if it was Kid Rocks born free? Lol.

[BigDaddyDJD]

RON PAUL

[vincentca2004]

Ron Paul 2012!!! Give me freedom or give me death :)

[nicko978]

Thumbs up if you came here because of the Ron Paul interview. RP 2012!!!

[sikopomp]

@nicko978 haha! exactly why.

[MrRicknroller]

@nicko978 YES!!! :)

[MrRicknroller]

yeah!

[sh4p3shifter]

@nicko978 Lol yeah the ABC interview!

[ForeverMoreTatiana]

@nicko978 Gotta love the Ron Paul people :)

[Tzimnewman3]

@nicko978 I came here after hearing this song on the radio just now.

[ryanmail2004]

@nicko978 monro is turning in his grave, that his work would be liked by a bunch money grubbing anarchists only out for themselves.

[nicko978]

@ryanmail2004 I don't know whether to laugh or cry at your ignorance. Maybe I should just stand here and ponder.............. OK I just read it again and I can't hold it in I'm lmfao @ you. You called Ron Paul supporters anarchists.

[ryanmail2004]

@nicko978 destroy government so corporations and banks can run the country. your right, you fucks aren't anarchists, you are plutocrats.

[nicko978]

@ryanmail2004 Ok you're getting better but you're still a far cry away from truth. in a plutocracy umm let me explain...Banks get bailed out, companies overpower people via government regulations and oversights which hinders COMPETITIVE growth (mom and pops business), government bureaucracies decide the amount of wealth being issued (social security and the likes) to the lower class, fair play wealthy corporations can't compete with the paid for "laws" from their immoral competitors.

[nicko978]

@ryanmail2004 shall I go on. sounds to me that this country for the moment IS in DIRE danger of becoming plutocratic nation DUE to government oversight, lobbying for regulations on the competition, controlled wealth determined by ssi, wealthfare, food stamps etc by government bureaucracies. Please respond I'd like to know how you think RP supporters are plutocrats?

[ryanmail2004]

@nicko978 I guess I would have to ask you if you are but you people certainly seem like plutocrats. The idea that everything would ok if we got rid of regulation/oversight is fucking retarded. It makes me sick to even try to argue this. Hurp Durp banks destroyed our economy, it must be because they had too much oversight!

seriously, that is retarded. End fed SURE, end oversight....wtf are you crackheads on.

[nicko978]

@ryanmail2004 Banks destroyed our economy because they are in charge of the restrictions and oversight that limit competition. You can't stop that with government intervention when they own the politicians. Ok big guy where is your precious oversight on a private centralized bank that's been running the show "officially" for a hundred years now... You mock "end the fed" but what do you propose. At least some oversight or how about a real audit?

[ryanmail2004]

@nicko978 No no, I think its a good idea to end the fed. It wasn't sarcastic.

But those centralized banks had been regulated for years (albeit poorly) until Bush got in and that's when the regulators got their last teeth pulled then Clinton didn't.

"...but what do you propose. At least some oversight... "

Well exactly that, something to control the derivative market would be nice. But that is more government, something that RP supporters can't handle no matter how much we need it -.-

[ryanmail2004]

@ryanmail2004 *that clinton didn't

[nicko978]

@ryanmail2004 The regulations are simple. If you commit fraud you go to jail, if you go bankrupt you don't get a check.

You can't regulate wallstreet without stopping the source of it. Federal reserve. Lobbying = license to steal.

[ryanmail2004]

@nicko978 I agree with all of that except that regulation is simple. Derivatives are not simple, nor is regulating them. They are a time bomb waiting to take out the entire world economy.

[nicko978]

@ryanmail2004 Its not the banks plural that benefited entirely from the bail outs anyway. Yeah lots of CEO's made off but who took home the golden egg? The one private centralized bank. You're so ignorant you just made my arguments for me thanks. You're all about more government restrictions and oversight? Then start with the federal reserve, and start by opening the books. This isn't some ingenious attempt at economic warfare with America's economic competition... its just plain stealing

[nicko978]

@ryanmail2004 Banks can run the country? In the world of Ron Paul supporters those "banks" wouldn't have gotten bailed out. Its our responsibility to fault and punish not only OURSELVES but banks, criminals any corporation or company with bad business ethics. And if we leave it up to the government what happens? They get bailed out. Right so... next?

[ryanmail2004]

@nicko978 they wouldn't have neede bailing out if regulators were left in place but they are constantly under attack by people like you but thats ok, keep helping the banks run the country then tell us you would've stopped them lol.

[nicko978]

@ryanmail2004 destroy is a gross overstatement. There is a major difference between what you think and what we want and that is to LIMIT government. 

[delyparker777]

This is the Theme Song for the Presidential Campaign for Ron Paul!! END THE FED! RESTORE AMERICA!! Watch The American Dream on youtube! Ron Paul 2012 or BUST!!!

[comeonmakemyday]

Ron Paul's favorite song.

[windwardtack1]

@comeonmakemyday RON PAUL MONEYBOMB 11.11.11 -->support the candidate the military donates to more than all the others put together!! at ronpaul2012

[cionnathomathuna]

@comeonmakemyday ha! i looked up born free after seeing the interview he just had on abc and i got excited for a second thinking he was talking about the kid rock song lol but oh well this song isn't that bad, kinda soothing

[Machnaigh]

@comeonmakemyday Actually, Paul named this song when asked what his theme song would be. Theme song, off the top of his head, not favorite song. Try to see clearly. Don't let the information muddle at the point of inception. What more important facts are we confusing in our minds?

[Kultmannen]

@comeonmakemyday haha i just heard him say that too:P really beutiful

[nek2335]

Hell Yeah Ron Paul

[HungryHerbproduction]

Ron pauls theme song lolol

[jkt626]

[rugal14]

i love it

[roddy9272]

greatest singer this country everhad

[rudyardgoing]

Superb

[DYRBCebuCity1968]

This is one of my top favorite as a kid in the 70's. I didn't know when was this song made but the 45 rpn we had was old and faded even then.

The lyrics and melody is just perfect, effortlessly sang with an impact on the listener's emotion.

[martybearass]

he was the best!!! died way too young

[RicTic66]

I remember crying when I heard this at the end of the film.. I was 8

It moved me : )

[1a2b3c4d5e6f576]

A great voice and a beatiful music.

[gurwilla1]

who are the 39 dickheads who dont like this , let the lions lose on them

[MaeWest180]

@gurwilla1 hahhahahaha! LOL

[shotziebaby]

I worked with Matt in the 60's at Tahoe when he appeared in our Showroom an say this..I wud cry everytime..

[136428759]

Great ! the best yet .

[IzwoldChannel]

Loved this man, and to think he was just a buis driver here in London before he was discovered :-))

[louisehjacobs]

This song was sung long before the movie...this is my motto in life...I was born free and will stay free...no person has the right to totally own anyone...we all have to have some sort of freedom....thanks for uploading this fantastic song Keith:-)

[revgen123]

What a great voice and handsome guy.

this is on Silent Hill Downpour!

[beaglelvr689]

for you dad love you!

[RUA100]

miss you bro..

[hardyfh1]

I always have the impression that with that voice Matt Monro could sing anything. He just 'matted' a song. But give him a great song with a beautiful lyric to wrap that voice around and the result is sublime. How good is this? Imagine the greatest thing you can possibly imagine. Multiply it to the factor of ten. It's even better than that. This has to be what Plato called an ideal form. Has to be.

[BJM4441]

What a wonderful song beatifully executed by a singers singer...

[elvin1181]

one of the best ballads ever sung by a brilliant voclist

[streetwiseok]

no one sings this like MATT
