Love the song. I can picture it so clearly like I'm watching a movie in my head. The lyrics are magnificent. I'm in my teens and don't have yet the experience or as many memories as you get from decades of life, but i felt like i did after hearing this song.
In '68 when song became popular oh could I identify with! Summer,seashore,sing a long pubs,mates,girlfriends and that most special love. What a time....... Then return to Vietnam, combat, firefights, death, loneliness and finally a "Dear John". Ah to be able to go back and change the ending. Not to be......The pubs,most of the mates and the girl...long gone. But oh those memories! At least I'll always have them
@laruesansjoie Yeah, my story too. 'Then back to Nam' and the 'Dear John' letter. Regaurdless of the 'shit', we both pulled a few private memories out of the Hell we were dealt. Welcome Home Brother and it's been so many years since 'yesterday' and Happy 4th to you, Carwash, VNVM/C, Sin City Crew, Retired
I´m not from the older generation and I havent heard this song 40 years ago. And I´m russian and it´s a russian song, but i really have to say: This woman sang this song great. The english "cover" of this song ist really really nice, and performed very nice. I got nothing more to say ;)
too young I was - .grade 8 and in love with Mary and jealous that Paul was alone with her. Of course, then, all I had was her picture on the album cover and I still have it, the album, and it still plays, with scratches and pops and the cover is faded and creased. What is the line? When your dreams die, you may go on living but you are no longer alive? We did never lose and the proof is in the music from that time. The sound and lyric and life. Thank you Mary for showing me the days, . .again
This song plays multiple times a day in the Walgreens where I'm currently working. I said it sounded like a Russian folk song, and I guess it kinda is.
I used to listen to this song when I was little and think, how sad for older people. Well, now I'm 43 and totally relate; it seems like life has sped up and I've missed so much.
I wonder if some little girl will think, "how sad for her".
this song randomly came into my head as i was writing an essay for university (which is due in a couple of hours and i've only done half of it) but i had to search for this to get it out of my head a little bit!
I loved this song when it was first released. I remember lending my copy to my art teacher and when she finally gave it back to me, she gave me a reord token!! I had to buy another copy of Those Were The Days because she had scratched my original one!!! My art teacher was so lovely I didn't care!
Thank you for your reply to what I presume was someone who just didn't consider what they were saying. Mary is the voice of home for me - hiraeth, and so is precious beyond words. (sorry, it's the Welsh coming out) Diolch yn fawr i chi/thanks very much and God bless you.

the first time i heard this song i was 10 and had gone to las vegas for my bday and this guy that (no joke) looked JUST like robin williams but HOT! sang this song kinda at me (i had listened to 3 previous songs already) and i just LOVED this song. and i FINALLY found this song!! :D
Great song,even better miniskirt, but what is up with the shows director, did he get new Cameras, it was almost MTV like with the cuts and o my the extreme closeups, but she is great to look at so I will forgive him for that. Thanks for posting
Those were the days my friend we thought they'd never end,we won the league three times in a row.We won the FA cup and now we're goin up,we are the Town oh yes we are the Town.Na na na na na.Hudds !!!!
@dmcc20012 Why did you say something so unthoughtful as that...for us in South Wales she was and is a lovely person with a pure voice...please consider changing your comment, please.
Way to be a hypocrite. If you don't like the person's reply to your comment, then don't read it. Also, if you can't even spell comment and don't correctly, go get yourself an education and get someone to instill a sense of politeness... then come back and reply correctly.
Those were the days my friend, we took the Stretford end. We took the shed. The North Bank Highbury. We took the Geordies too, we fought for Liverpool. WE ARE THE KOP, OF LIVERPOOL FC. <3
