This beautiful song was from the spring of 1969, my freshman year in high school, which reminds me of my Easter vacation....this song brings it all back to the innocence of my youth and the geeky girl I once was....
things back then couldn't of been more real, especially the music. this song is really great, something about it, the words are true, but its a sad story if you listen, (he wished it could of been him). x.o
@CaptainHawktomb I was a freshman in high school when this song came out. It's a great song that brings back so many fond memories. I always loved it. And your right, the piano passage at the end of the song is romantic, beautiful, haunting and sad all at the same time.
The music of the 60's is unsurpassed to date. Music was pure, innocent and made you feel good. I long for those musical moments. Thanks for this post!!!!!
@Trying00 Apparently, even the record company "suits" were enlightened back in those days, because 85% of the songs on Top 40 Radio were worth listening to (and remembering).
@manoarainbow796 Well said, my friend. I had never heard of this song until moving to New England in 2000, and then found oldies station 102.9 out of Hartford, Ct playing it on weekends. What a sweet, gentle and beautiful song! Thank you also to Serendipity629 for posting....
funny I can see myself in my 59 chevy in bay shore l.i. driving to church thinking of my gf ellen its like i can visualize it..Thank you from the bottom of my heart
Check out the playlist from April, 1969 when this song was a hit. Every song on the playlist is unforgettable. New Colony Six, Donovan, Cowsills, Simon and Garfunkle, 5th Dimension, Tommy James, Crazy Elephants, Cat Mother and the All Night News Boys, Mercy,Cream, and so on. It was hard to turn off the radio but I forced myself at midnight so I could get up to go to school. lol
@Solarshoji That whole year was great. Variety in the Top 40 that couldn't happen today. You had the Beatles and Stones, Steppenwolf, The Bob Seger System, Johnny Cash, Edwin Hawkins Singers (gospel), Gary Puckett, Turtles, 3 Dog Night, The Guess Who, CCR, Henry Mancini ("Romeo & Juliet"), Bobby Vinton, Isley Bros, Desmond Dekker (reggae), Jackie DeShannon, Neon Philharmonic, Ray Stevens ("Gitarzan"), Flirtations, Foundations, Tommy Roe, The Who, Spirit ("I Got a Line On You"), Roy Clark ...
@FullMoonVideo Wow! So, my musical batting average is about .975, right? (C'mon, I loved "Dizzy" because I was 11 years old, in 6th grade, and not one but two girls in my class were making me dizzy!)
@57highland So it is personal...otherwise you might not like Dizzy that much. Now I would add 10 years after and "If you should love me", if I were relating bands and songs to firsts loves. But didn't have the two girls fighting after me until later, when I had a good job...it is always about the money
@FullMoonVideo Oh, no. You got it all wrong. They weren't fighting over me. Neither one would actually give me a second look. But it was all good at that age, being infatuated or having a "crush", knowing nothing of love and having so many things to distract you, and anyway having to pretend you didn't care too much about girls.
Oh yae...like your choice of Spirit ("I Got a Line On You")...just good ole rock an roll. Makes up for Tommy Roe...my sisters liked his stuff and kept his albums next to Donny Osmond. So you really liked Tommy Roe because of the girls who were after you...I pretended to like Tom Jones once...any port in a storm!
@FullMoonVideo Funny you should mention Tom Jones, because I should have included him in my original list. I would include him (as I did with Bobby Vinton) to illustrate the point that many types of music were all encompassed in one "Top 40", rather than having all these various niche charts to promote presumably different categories and split things up for marketing purposes; it stinks. Anyway, I now mention Tom Jones because he had 3 hits that year and in fact was just hitting his stride.
@FullMoonVideo No need to cite personal preference for your very good choices. I left Neil Diamond off that list of mine quite by accident. He too, like Tom Jones, was about to really hit his stride in the early 70s. "Sweet Caroline" always brings back good memories of the summer of 1969.
You are right 619piano-- NO ONE does write songs like this because they (very unfortunately) KNOW that THOSE are not the kinds of things this present society want... It appears though, that this society really doesn't know what it wants! Back then WE all wanted love, and for a brief fleeting moment in time (1963 - 1969) we came across that WE did want just that... All of us except our wonderful American Government who has to always be plunging us in to war in order for us to stay afloat... Sad!
I'd forgotten about this beautiful ballad from my early HS years, until I heard J.Mayers "Say what you mean to say" which reminded me of the Colony Six song.
Yes it is a song about losing a love to someone else...sad but it happens and someone else does come along...usually when you least expect it....but geat tune.
I always thought it was catchy tune, but if you listen to the words, its about a loser who is worried about a girl who is having the time of her life with her new boyfriend and probley dosen't give a dam about him anymore. Sorry... but just speaking from experience, He should move on!
it's been over 40 years since i heard this song. I knew the group's name but not the title. We all have to give Thanks to the people who upload these oldies and You Tube for giving everyone the opportunity to hear them once more. Thank You
Wow... I was 11 years old when I first heard this, and hadn't heard it again for over 35 years until a local station played it several years ago. What a beautiful song... what a beautiful voice!
@FullMoonVideo No,It was the phrase you used KISS, is often used in A.A: Bill W. is one of the founders. No problem. Still enjoyed the pics immensly & of course the song (In spite of my joke)
@Nickcat5 The term KISS is used in many areas of life, especially in the construction trade, (my roots and what pays for my creative side). Good luck with the AA stuff…my vice is nicotine.
@FullMoonVideo No,It was the phrase you used KISS, is often used in A.A: Bill W. is one of the founders. No problem. Still enjoyed the pics immensly (In spite of my joke)& of course the song! Thanx!
AWESOME JOB. I FIND THE CLARITY OF THE MUSIC AND THE PURE BEAUTY OF THE STILL SHOTS SIMPLY MESMERIZING!! TAKES ME TO A SIMPLER AND MORE CARING TIME IN LIFE. I THANK YOU!!
Great Song. Can't believe I only heard this song for the first time about 8 months ago. I wonder how many other classics that are out there that I haven't heard yet?
@619piano Actually, there about a half of a dozen remakes of "Things I'd Like To Say' by various groups (I have them all), but in fact, the remakes don't come anywhere close to the original romantic feel of the original by The New Colony Six.
@619piano I agree but maybe they should leave it alone - it wouldn't hold a candle to this - I think this is one of the most beautiful songs ever written
thanks for posting this, i can't get enough of this great tune!! We Post Many Great Songs At TOMA'S TIMELESS TUNES, i hope you'll stop by and give a listen. thanks, Tommy...
I was in high school when this came out...I loved it then and I still love it now. And it still brings tears to my eyes like it did back then. Things were so much better then in the 60's...I give my best to all of you who were my classmates!
@flydadj It's great isn't it ? The beauty of a song that instantly transports you back to a time and place that makes it seem like it happened just yesterday....This is one of those songs.....The best memories of my life as a teenager....The friends....the girls...all the great times we had together..and all that great music ! ......How lucky we were to live in that era......Thanks for sharing......
@flydadj Greetings to you my fellow '60s person. Wasn't it a great time to grow up? The cars, the girls, and especially all of this great music. Except for my little vacation in RVN, I loved the '60s. Come to think of it, all the music from 1969 was very special to me as it was the salve that helped heal over a very spooky year for me. Take care and PEACE!
In the same manner as this masterpiece, go to: Matt Monroe - Walk Away (1966)_HQ , I guarantee it will astound you, if you love this song, you will be amazed at Monro's classic as well...enjoy..
Forgotten what a classic and beautiful song this was...came out in my sophomore year just as I asked my girlfriend to go steady, what memories this brings back..have not heard for at least 30 years...reminds me of what love really should be, thanks for posting, Serendipity629, very well done..
Yes,it was a kinder time also I think. People were more kinder to one another. Now it's very tough out there. People aren't as caring as it was back then.
@phillyfan1229 I SO agree...we had it so good...I had so many 45's....but wish I could have bought them all....so many good songs...and we got to experience it all.
@phillyfan1229 I don't know if every song in those days could have been a #1. But I know that every song on the radio in the late 60's at least BELONGED on the radio. Every song on the radio in those days was at least "pretty good."
This song brings back so so many memories when i was young. Growing up in Chicago in the 1960's was the best, it was all about the music. The amount of great music coming out was non stop. Every week there was a new hit song. We used to follow the WLS and WCFL surveys to see what songs would make it on the charts. Great times and great music - not like today!
This was an amazing song, and I well remember it playing when my Dad told us he had orders for Vietnam. I vowed to go and get him back (I was only 15), but his orders were cancelled because of us seven kids. Still, I did 25 years in the Marines after that, and still love this tune. Good band!
I always thought this was a great tune..well written I was just exiting jr. high..it is still a great song..to love again,,..like Forest Gump I had my Jenny..sometimes I think I still do...
Remember, when this song came out there was no such thing a video. Still, the 45 record had the same effect at the time. This was one of my favorite songs. I have the original 45 and listen to it on my stereo occasionally.
Great song! Right back to high school. It deserves more time on the oldies stations! The co-author of the song states that he and his writing mate played it for some girls on North Avenue Beach here in Chicago and they cried. At that moment he knew they had a hit! Great story and piece of trivia! This song could be re-rleased today and go right to the top of the charts!
This is another song from the New Colong Six that I really liked. I remember it from when I was in South Vietnam, and the words reminded me of "The Things I didn't say" to my girl before I went to 'Nam.
OK... This song brings me back to 9th grade in E-town, PA when I had a crush on just about all the girls in the 10th grade... The pain was real but at the same time wonderful.... Go figure... I still have a crush on all you girls and this song reminds me why....
@washitawoman - Hey, I was in 6th grade too. But somehow I didn't get teary-eyed, though it was one of my favorite songs. (Almost every song on the radio in those days was my favorite.) It was convenient to listen to great love songs like this and not have to worry about anything worse than adolescent infatuation (i.e., Sherry and Diana, classmates),
This song takes me back to my teenage years.....the whole world seemed different then.....so much more hopeful, so much more innocent. Love seemed so much more romantic and songs like this take you back to the way you felt back then when love seemed innocent and sweet....
I first heard this song about 30 years ago when I was in high school and it still pulls at my heart and gives me a empty feeling. I miss all my old buddies and the girl I should have married Julie.
God, the memories !!! The Vietnam war, first man on the moon, Nixon....This song has such an emotional impact on me. WOW ! I was 11 when this came out.. "THIS"
is music, with real lyrics and real meaning. Thank you for uploading this beautiful song and for the trip in your time machine. Joe @ Bacmaster Music Videos
@Bacmaster -- Me too, I was 11 that winter/spring. At that age, you're aware of a war but nowhere near understanding it or being affected by it. (I had no relatives in the war). Later on, I became grateful that I didn't have to make that decision (be drafted or evade). Man on the moon was almost literally breathtaking. Top 40 radio was continually great. No shock jocks. No cable TV. Four TV channels were enough.
@57highland Wow, I was a couple years older but you painted the picture almost exactly of where I was at that time. I was and still am from central Illinois and its amazing how powerful music was and is at triggering an entire emotional and physical memory as that. You expressed it perfectly.
@pilesovinyl -- Wow, thanks! But I think you hit it. It's the music that gets the emotions and memories going. Yeah, it's the music. (Music like this!)
WOW . You have no idea the good memories you just flooded my mind with. Where did this kind of music go so long ago. I sure do miss it. Wish it was today's standard instead of all that new stuff their try'in to sell us on the radio. Thanx for Posting:):):):):)
Oh my gosh! So glad to have found this. Heard it on a 60's satellite radio station then looked it up on YouTube. It brought on such a strong remembrance of how I so loved this song as a young teen back in '69. Every time I would hear it on the radio I would stop whatever I was doing just to listen and then feel so sad when it ended. Thanks for posting this!
Only love makes the world go 'round. It gives color and vibrancy to the eye's images. Baths the world in the ineffable glow of our creator. Love reminds us that life is good and without love life is a living hell.
@ChicanoOldiesRuca ..Gracias Mija ... Love this mellow tune ...been a while ..they dont play it much on the local Oldie radio station .. nice to hear it again =) Take Care
Guys, 'Valentine's Day 'is this weekend. Play this song for your 'Valentine' and you might 'get lucky' (if you know what I mean, wink, wink) Lovely tune!
Geez. I loved this song too, but now, it's almost too sad to listen to. I wish I'd married my high school sweetheart from 1969. Worst mistake of my life.
Gee, claudine, with most people, it's the other way around: they wish they hadn't married their high-school sweethearts and wish they'd waited longer to find someone else.
beautiful song, and beautiful pictures! real musicians playing and singing. what a concept!

In the same manner as this masterpiece, go to: Matt Monroe - Walk Away (1966)_HQ , I guarantee it will astound you, if you love this song, you will be amazed at Monro's classic as well...enjoy..

@phillyfan1229 I don't know if every song in those days could have been a #1. But I know that every song on the radio in the late 60's at least BELONGED on the radio. Every song on the radio in those days was at least "pretty good."

This song brings back so so many memories when i was young. Growing up in Chicago in the 1960's was the best, it was all about the music. The amount of great music coming out was non stop. Every week there was a new hit song. We used to follow the WLS and WCFL surveys to see what songs would make it on the charts. Great times and great music - not like today!

New Colony Six is such an underrated group, and this song "Things I'd Like To Say" is one of their best. Thanks for putting it up here.

This was an amazing song, and I well remember it playing when my Dad told us he had orders for Vietnam. I vowed to go and get him back (I was only 15), but his orders were cancelled because of us seven kids. Still, I did 25 years in the Marines after that, and still love this tune. Good band!

Remember, when this song came out there was no such thing a video. Still, the 45 record had the same effect at the time. This was one of my favorite songs. I have the original 45 and listen to it on my stereo occasionally.

Great song! Right back to high school. It deserves more time on the oldies stations! The co-author of the song states that he and his writing mate played it for some girls on North Avenue Beach here in Chicago and they cried. At that moment he knew they had a hit! Great story and piece of trivia! This song could be re-rleased today and go right to the top of the charts!

This is another song from the New Colong Six that I really liked. I remember it from when I was in South Vietnam, and the words reminded me of "The Things I didn't say" to my girl before I went to 'Nam.

OK... This song brings me back to 9th grade in E-town, PA when I had a crush on just about all the girls in the 10th grade... The pain was real but at the same time wonderful.... Go figure... I still have a crush on all you girls and this song reminds me why....
Love, Anthony

@primeent I am from Canada, but I used to listen to the Erie FM Station on my transistor radio in grade 9 and I loved this song!
accordionreid 1 year ago
@washitawoman - Hey, I was in 6th grade too. But somehow I didn't get teary-eyed, though it was one of my favorite songs. (Almost every song on the radio in those days was my favorite.) It was convenient to listen to great love songs like this and not have to worry about anything worse than adolescent infatuation (i.e., Sherry and Diana, classmates),

This song takes me back to my teenage years.....the whole world seemed different then.....so much more hopeful, so much more innocent. Love seemed so much more romantic and songs like this take you back to the way you felt back then when love seemed innocent and sweet....

God, the memories !!! The Vietnam war, first man on the moon, Nixon....This song has such an emotional impact on me. WOW ! I was 11 when this came out.. "THIS"
is music, with real lyrics and real meaning. Thank you for uploading this beautiful song and for the trip in your time machine. Joe @ Bacmaster Music Videos
Bacmaster 1 year ago 2
@Bacmaster -- Me too, I was 11 that winter/spring. At that age, you're aware of a war but nowhere near understanding it or being affected by it. (I had no relatives in the war). Later on, I became grateful that I didn't have to make that decision (be drafted or evade). Man on the moon was almost literally breathtaking. Top 40 radio was continually great. No shock jocks. No cable TV. Four TV channels were enough.
57highland 1 year ago 3
@57highland Wow, I was a couple years older but you painted the picture almost exactly of where I was at that time. I was and still am from central Illinois and its amazing how powerful music was and is at triggering an entire emotional and physical memory as that. You expressed it perfectly.

Oh my gosh! So glad to have found this. Heard it on a 60's satellite radio station then looked it up on YouTube. It brought on such a strong remembrance of how I so loved this song as a young teen back in '69. Every time I would hear it on the radio I would stop whatever I was doing just to listen and then feel so sad when it ended. Thanks for posting this!

Only love makes the world go 'round. It gives color and vibrancy to the eye's images. Baths the world in the ineffable glow of our creator. Love reminds us that life is good and without love life is a living hell.

Gee, claudine, with most people, it's the other way around: they wish they hadn't married their high-school sweethearts and wish they'd waited longer to find someone else.
