@immortelle3 I'm sorry, but, have you actually listened to this song ? Because if you did, you'd have noticed this is definitely not meant to be sung by some nymphet with a crystal clear voice.
Just listen to the emotions Bonnie Tyler puts in this. Listen to the lyrics. Listen to the message of this song. Now how can you say that these lyrics weren't waiting for a rough voice, one which has seen life and went through trouble numerous times such as Tyler's to sing them ?
@ChimiBunny Don't blame those people, being exposed to large amounts of what passes for music (not only "these days", but for quite some time) with lyrics that could be easily replaced with "Allooyah! Alloyah!" without anyone noticing much change in the "message" does that to you.
Estimated friend, if you want to listen again this song and an endless number of successes of the love I suggest you to visit Radio MUSICA PARA MIMOS - looks for his direction URL in Google ( search Musica para Mimos in Google)-. best romantic music of all the times in Internet, is great, is very good ...!!!
I grew up with the Mary Hopkins version, but this one is great too. Now that someone has actually mentioned it, the Russian folk origins are blatantly obvious. I could always hear it but never made the connection. Now I really feel like Homer Simpson having a 'DOH!' moment.
listening to this song, I always remember my dearest friend, all our moments... especially from High School ;))) Yeah... those were the days! ;) We were so young and ...brave!!!
this song is using to show antipaticious by galatasaray and beşiktaş football clubs fans against to fenerbahçe football club that song's words changed so yarramı ye fener yarramı ye fener yarramı ye yarramı ye fener :D
One word "Excellent". She owns this song with an amazing voice. She really have the most beautiful voice live. LOVE BONNIE:) Thanks for sharing. GREAT JOB!!!
No it wouldnt kill me to use proper grammar or spell correctly i know how to spell but what does it matta anyway as long as im enjoyin da music datz wha countz. Comment on BONNIE'S MUSIC instead of commentin on me
"Those Were the Days" was released on 30 August 1968. It was Mary Hopkin's debut single. It is credited to Gene Raskin, who put English lyrics to the Russian song "Dorogoi dlinnoyu" ("Дорогой длинною"), written by Boris Fomin (1900-1948) with words by the poet Konstantin Podrevskii. It deals with reminiscence upon youth and romantic idealism. The first known recording of the song was by Alexander Vertinsky in the 1920's. (Wikipedia)
Aaaah that voice! I remember, one New Year Eve, I was about 8 or 10 years old and watching her Total Eclipse Live in our local TV. Since that time I fell in love with her and stil !! Thank u Bonnie..
Une voix unique, une voix originale, la voix de Bonnie TYLER! Tu es sublime.. BRAVO!
When I first met my wife we use to dance to this song in the disco's . Then one day I came home from work and found a note from her saying she was going away with my best mate Dave and our marrage was over . I was absolutely gutted .You would have thought after 20 years I would have got over it but I haven't , I still miss Dave as much now as I did then . Great mate and drinking buddy ;-)
Avec mon compliments. Je suis d'accord (I do not speak French, though I learned that at school some 40 years ago, and I loved that). Enfin, Bonnie Tyler is wonderful in this song.
:O! I don't think she deteriorated! I think her voice gets better with age. Trust me, I just saw her in concert a couple of months ago. She just has more control over it than she used to it. You'll notice that when she wants to she adds a little bit more of a husky sound. She says her voice has matured and gotten stronger over the years & I think she's right!
You are crazy!!!Have you seen bonnie live lately?!!??You should...then you will see that she is just as god,NO better,than she has ever been.She is just getting better and better!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bonnie das wäre der HIT für dich !!!! bring den raus und ein weniger mehr pepp und daraus wird der beste mitmachhit wieder. Deine Stimme ist legendär und nicht zu ersetzen!!!!
DON'T EVEN TALK ABOUT BONNIE THAT WAY. Her voice was and still is ever incredible! It's husky and she is blessed to have something so powerful. She sounds and looks beautiful. No, you don't have to agree, but you don't have to verbally insult her either. She is my and many other's favorite singer. Show some respect!
