I think we all have had a Summer romance in some time of our lives that we thought and hoped would go on, but knew it woudn't. I have had many. This song represents them all.
They say that ALL GOOD THINGS must end some day, Autumn leaves must fall, but don't you know THAT IT HURTS ME SO to say goodbye to you, wish you didn't have to go No..No..No.., and when that rain beats against my window pain I'll think of our Summer days again and dream of you.
When I was 9 or 10, and this song would come on the radio on the way home from my grandparents' house, I would quietly sob in the back of the car. I knew then that one day they would be gone and this song went right to my core. I'm 28, now. One set of grandparents are gone, one great-grandmother remains and her son and his wife (my maternal grandparents.) That grandmother has Alzheimer's, so is pretty much gone to us. Even so, I still love this song.
My very first album was Yesterday's Gone, my 1964 Christmas present. I was 14 and loved their music. I still have the album, and their music is timeless.
1965 , 16 YEARS OLD I WILL GIVE ALL MY TOMORROWS FOR ONE SINGLE YESTERDAY. 1967 GOT MARRIED .2007 SHE DIED ON ME . I; AM 63 YEARS , THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER ONE FOR ME. GOD , I MISS YOU SO MUCH SHIRLEY; UNTILL WE MEET AGAIN.
I dreamt of this song last night. I was singing it in a desert with a bunch of soldiers. I know it meant that those soldiers, and I, and America itself were going the way of the summer day.
Yeah Baby! I was born in the 50s but grew up in the 60s so I remember all the great songs and groups of that time. It really is some of the VERY best music ever made!! Songs like this one bring back bittersweet memories of my childhood. Ah, and this vid has pretty scenery, love it when they do that. :)
@99ontguy1 Great thread here (for the most part, cept for spammers), it's like being in the company of a whole bunch of groovy swingers of the 60s, LOL, like I was! Transistor radios, open windows on the Pontiac, 33 1/3 rpm vinyl records on the hi-fi, the backyard swing and the old apple tree, the sun porch where we didn't have AC but didn't care...brother working in the shed with his radio playing, the patio and the cats purring...our dachshund...ice tea, lemonade...I'm gonna cry...
@summerwinelover Thank You for sharing that moment in time. I could picture it all with this song playing. I envy all those who may have been 17-21 during that time. Seemed like such better times. I like to think so.......
@LOKISlog7 In 1965 I was ten...which dates me, LOL!! At that age, at least in those days, we could still afford to be carefree children. How many 10 yr olds today can really feel so carefree & truly childish, as we did in the "old days"? Heck, we didn't even have technology aside from analog TV and radio. Letters were written by hand (I still can write a beautiful script-like long hand, another lost art kids won't be taught anymore, woe) and the telephone was our "dialup," LOL
@zillinalovedance then as now the world was a confused ball of you know what,memories often get distorted as time goes by.I will admit the songs were much more lovely than most of what now passes for music these days,but remember war and the assinations and craziness of those days and you will see not much that is different.The times haven't been changing all that much-sorry Dylan.
I love this song. I was 16 and in high school and in love with this tall blond name Julie. I had an 8 transistor Zenith royal 500 radio and KFRC 610 and KYA 1260 played a lot of Chad and Jeremy. Seems like every body carried a transistor radio around with them, it was the in thing. I have the album Yesterday's Gone on 8 track. Doesn't seem possible that was 45+ year's ago. I feel so fortunate that I was able to grow up in the San Francisco Bay Area during the 1960's.
@Klaaaan1 Our generation was surely blessed with a plethora of great music and music genres ... often wonder if we know how lucky we are! This is classic ... and it even sounded great on those transistor radios!!
Beautiful song! I remember first listening to this song as a little boy of around 7 or 8 and really enjoying it, but never knowing what the song was called or who the singer(s) was. There's nothing wrong with the likes of Justin Bieber, but people should listen to the classics like this to truly appreciate great music.
one of the most beautoful and romantic songs ive ever heard. oh, why cant todays music be beautiful like this? romance seems to have gone out the window, now its all angry rap crap and sex stuff. just disgusting. ill stick with the oldies.
The Portuguese have a word,"saudade", about the feeling of missing someone you once loved...this song is about the best song in English in capturing this feeling.
It's been decades since I heard Chad & Jeremy but Summer Days still brings a lump to my throat. Seen far too many good-byes since then; good theme song for that.
I was a child in the 60's....this reminds me of happy times going to San Diego (CA) to visit my Aunt Leora, Uncle Eric and cousins. Great people who remind me of this song. The 60's were so uncomplicated, at least for a kid..
@cynmarie33 hi, i was a kid in the 1960,s,wow what a time,so colourful and happy days,and it reminds me of going to work with mum at Jaques drive in restaraunt in South Australia,all those those cool cool cars and clothes/fashion and this song comming over the speaker,s Phew ((sob sob ))what a trip dowm memory lane, just Love this song, take care cyn marrie33!! down under!!!
umust read this.once u have started there is no turning back. a little 10 year old girl was raped and murderded in 1945. her body was not found until 1947. then a boy last week read this and did not copy and paste this message. the dead girl appeared in his room haunting him and killed him. copy and paste this onto 10 vidoes in 30 minutes the dead girl will apear in your room tonight and haunt you and kill you. well you better start to copy and paste to be saved
what separates this song from other super-pretty balads are the breaks to minor chording - a bit spooky, and a sign of composition genius - as the saying goes :"two people who listened just didn't have ears..."
This is one of those remarkable songs that evokes the same feeling in you the thousandth time you here it as the first. It brings images to mind in me of sitting alone in my father's Plymouth on a cold, rainy windswept October afternoon, looking at the leafless trees and remembering walking down the street hand-in-hand with my first great love on a beautiful June afternoon when I really thought the world had stopped and I would remain forever 17.
@YD8189 very true but it can't excuse the pain of a lost love especialy when it has to come to an end and what makes it worse is when they give up on you on the first sign of truble and say it was for the better
True, lost love hurts like hell but the truth of the matter is that unless you put ahammerlock on your brain, two things will happen: 1) It will construct a narrative that actuallymakes you believe it was for the best (see, Dan Gilbert on "synthetic happiness"--he's a superstar Harvard professor, and 2) you will discover the liberating truth that when the angels depart the archangels arrive. The woman of my dreams entered my life after the
So beautiful , I' ve heard this song probably million times but still can't help crying......I want that summer back ... oh I made a mistake, I want HIM back.....
This Music makes me Long for my Wonderful Childhood during the 60's. Back when Life was a lot Simplier. It really Hurts Me So that it will never return again.
@perpetual61 I agree with you 100% and thanks for sharing your thoughts so well. You said so very much in so few words! I was born in 1953 and got into music beginning on Christmas Day in 1964 when my parents gave me a Candle (Brand) Six-Transistor Radio. That radio (which probably cost only a couple of bucks) was the MOST INFLUENTIAL GIFT OF A LIFETIME for me because it presented to me all these lovely songs of the 50s and 60s. It is a REAL high when I hear this music I love so much!
@unclebone100 I'm with you......my little Lafayette transistor radio was my best friend. I was born in 1954. I had an older sister so pop/rock music was always playing. I really lament the decline in AM radio. It's great if you are a big sports fan but if not there is nothing much interesting now. I can remember a time when AM was king and late at night I would search for far away stations. I would move the radio dial a fraction of an inch at a time seeking distant interesting stations
@inkey2 Thank you so very much for sharing your wonderful and nostalgic thoughts that I just loved to read. You and I are so close in age and have alot in common with the radio and oldies stories that we share. Too bad I did not have an older sibling like you who listened to AM radio at that time. If so, I would have fallen in love with the oldies alot sooner. And I agree with you 100% about AM radio today which is AWFUL when it comes to oldies. How very sad compared to the 60's.
@inkey2 Not sure where you live but I live in San Jose, CA. and AM radio music is almost all NON-ENGLISH in several languages but mostly Spanish! I feel like I do not live in the USA anymore. And the one oldies station is the True Oldies Channel which seems to play the SAME SONGS ALL THE TIME and sadly, NOT those great oldies that deserve airplay!! To hear those, you have to listen to the oldies satellite radio channels (for a fee) or buy your own music like I have over the years. How sad.
Wish you didn't have to go..no, no, no...yes those were the days of GOOD music. All you 1960 growin' folks..you love this! how about some likes! And dream of you.....and dream of you...
When we wake up to the truth of life, inspired music like this will emerge and flourish again, and all the uninspired crap that people call "music" these days will fade away and be forgotten. Search "Truth Contest" in Google and click the 1st result, then open The Present and read what it says to learn the truth of life.
@gollin452 ....comparing this to justin bieber? why do peole like the McRib...oh, because they've never had a falafel....i feel dumber responding to your comment than i did reading it....backfire! but ya classic tune paws up!
dude hahahhaha your SOOOFUNNY omfg im laughing sOO fucking hard its amazing wow so funny, are you a comedian by trade? fucking idiot, nice joke you fucking newb
It brings back the emotions and memories and - I am very surprised - they are even stronger then back then. Is there a psychologist to explain that to me ???
can't seem to find 'no tears for Johnny' the 'B' side of one of their 45's from app. '65. forget what the hit side was. I really liked it and constantly sang it while in Vietnam which drove everyone crazy.
The songs i write are not as good in quality as this masterpiece, but this kind of "good music" & most of the Beatles' offerings have no doubt influenced me to be a better musician...
My love moved away that year. We both sang this song for a week before she left. She had a copy of this song and bought me one. We never wrote but man it hurt for a long time and wore out the record playing it.
@browneyedgirl1967 and MrMotownmanny: Are we all that old? LOL! But that doesn't explain why our children loved Dirty Dancing and why this was the first song my 12-year-old grandson is learning to play on the guitar. No doubt there's a longing for simple music and simple expressions of love and a return to a happier time....
I love this song - I always have. It's beauty and simplicity are so sweet! It was fun hearing it in Princess Diaries I. I miss the good ole days of gentle expressions of love!
Good Tuesday morning, friends! It is freezing here in Jersey, so I thought a little reminder of Summer was in order! Lol- everyone have a great day, and good luck with the final Christmas push!
THANK GOD FOR YOUTUBE. when Im in school I have to deal with all these idiots listening to justin bieber and lady gaga, but when I go home I can listen to real music
I think we all have had a Summer romance in some time of our lives that we thought and hoped would go on, but knew it woudn't. I have had many. This song represents them all.

When we wake up to the truth of life, inspired music like this will emerge and flourish again, and all the uninspired crap that people call "music" these days will fade away and be forgotten. Search "Truth Contest" in Google and click the 1st result, then open The Present and read what it says to learn the truth of life.

It brings back the emotions and memories and - I am very surprised - they are even stronger then back then. Is there a psychologist to explain that to me ???

can't seem to find 'no tears for Johnny' the 'B' side of one of their 45's from app. '65. forget what the hit side was. I really liked it and constantly sang it while in Vietnam which drove everyone crazy.

The songs i write are not as good in quality as this masterpiece, but this kind of "good music" & most of the Beatles' offerings have no doubt influenced me to be a better musician...

My love moved away that year. We both sang this song for a week before she left. She had a copy of this song and bought me one. We never wrote but man it hurt for a long time and wore out the record playing it.

@browneyedgirl1967 and MrMotownmanny: Are we all that old? LOL! But that doesn't explain why our children loved Dirty Dancing and why this was the first song my 12-year-old grandson is learning to play on the guitar. No doubt there's a longing for simple music and simple expressions of love and a return to a happier time....
