Замечательная песня! Я ее слышал еще в детстве. В СССР. Было написано, что музыка шотландская народная на пластинке. Great song! I heard it in childhood. In the Soviet Union. It was written that the Scottish folk music on the record.
I love the Beatniks but I think of the cafes where they would go to listen to this kind of music. Friend told me about it. It seems so un-hip but it was the hippest of the hip. Miller's finger prints all over this. He liked simple cords and good harmony. This was a bit subdued. Thanks for the post.
Lyrics of this enchanting song were translated in Russian, and it became a very popular camping song. We would sing it around campfires, and it came as a great surprise to me to learn that it was an American song. Really, how could this beautiful, soulful song be American? It is so much Russian by its nature! But then again, it came as surprise to me that Americans love hiking and camping just as much as Russians do.
@TheAmerenglish This song can be American because it is "Folk" music. In every country, the "Folk" music is very good, because it tells stories about the country.
@honeycombo I agree with you. If things were to go back to what were the good old days, the world would be a better place. We have to balme the hippies and liebrals for their communists values that ruined this great country.
settle down, don't make it about anything. This was radio, American Bandstand. Things went forward. You can't go back and re-create. Live your life, work a job, or 2, or 3, whatever it takes, stop whining.
I once turned this song on out loud then suddenly heard my dad sing it along. I remember I felt so so so great at that moment. Love this song so much. :)
I'm 17 and found this song because of my grandpa, I put this song on and he started crying tears of happiness. That was the first time I've ever seen him cry and it was probably the most touching moment in my life. What an amazing song. :-)
Good grief! It's a lovely song. The Brothers Four are fine musicians, but seriously! Communism? Capitalism? What corner of the Twilight Zone did that drop out of? And given the song's lyrics, why am I not surprised some people haven't enjoyed music since 1961? "Still I'll keep on waiting until you return ..." Tough luck! If you weren't being so willfully deaf, you might find something nice here on youtube, something from the past 25 years even. From their covers, I'm sure the Four Brothers do.
So many comments are saying "My taste is better than your taste." Hey, this is an amazing piece of music, and timeless. But there is good and bad, sincere and insincere in every musical genre. That said, it would be great if Zen-simple (as opposed to simplistic) music like this still had a chance in today's broader marketplace. But we're lucky we had this - and still have it. Thanks for posting; with the addition of the stiff Mr. Miller, this is a true treat!
An idiot below says that the trashy popular music of today is the fault of Capitalism. Well, tell me, idiot, was the USA socialist/communist back in the 1950s? No ?
ups, i was wholeheartedly under impression such depth only existed the other part of the iron curtain. Shame on me. Check the version where a woman is singing.
BARFFFFFFF! I'm 62 and a percussionist-and this is crap. I'm afraid friends of mine have committed suicide over this pap!!! Donkey boy you left us too early!
Just for the record, the presenter, who you say looks like “a cheapo devil with the sly evil grin out of a vintage Twilight Zone episode” is none other than Mitch Miller.
He was one of the most influential figures in American popular music during the 50's and 60's, both as the head of Artists and Repertoire at Columbia Records and as a best-selling recording artist with an NBC television series, “Sing Along with Mitch. “
We've gotten much too sophisticated to like this kind of stuff. I vaguely remember this song playing on the radio when I was a kid in the '60s. I LOVE it!

Canción que me lleva a los años cuando aprendí a bailar, abrazando a las chicas, en fiestas que se realizaban en nuestros hogares porque no habían discotecas, pero que nos divertiamos. Quien hace esta clase de música ahora? Me recuerda cuando Guillermo McLean tenía su programa en Radio Zelaya.
@Dennismairena Realmente, hoy en día no se hace más música así pura y tan hermosa. Son horribles las canciones que se oyen hoy en día. Las radios ahora sólo ejecutan futilidades musicales, músicas sin comprometimiento con el amor y las cosas bonitas de la vida. Es el fín de los tiempos, se acabó toda la belleza musical que existía.
Canción que me lleva a los años cuando aprendí a bailar, abrazando a las chicas, en fiestas que se realizaban en nuestros hogares porque no habían discotecas, pero que nos divertiamos. Quien hace esta clase de música ahora?
Great music. I'm not a contemporary but not far from it. Please let's not kid ourselves that this would ever have universal appeal for people UNDER a certain age. It would appeal to only the few and far between younger ones and that is truly sad.
..don't know why, but I keep hearing this song in my head. suddenly it's there. reminding me of army boys, and the one I once loved, who is now gone..once there were blue skies, with white clouds high above..once they were part of an everlasting love..gone.gone.gone.. I only know there's nothing here for me.. nothing in this whole world, left for me to see.
I'm 58 and this music still moves me deeply when I hear it now. Were this music playing on the radio today I believe it would find a whole new audience falling in love with it as we did. My friends tell me I'm living in the past. But I simply say this music is timeless. It's power to move the human heart endures.
Hearing songs like this makes me wonder what went wrong over the years with entertainment. We need to get back to stuff like this that actually had feeling.
@DLWJohn It's called commercialisation. Get used to it. The Corporate Fucking States of America have a big part to play, but overall you can blame excessive greed and a need to squeeze every last cent out of an idea, in a capitalist society.
This is one of the best songs I´ve ever heard and I am so thankful I found it. I am having a moment here as I ponder the concept of watching small fractions of time immortalized through video. Distant ancestors would have called it magic and I am inclined to agree.
@ArseneLupin2009 Yeah, I also heard it on PBS -- I'm about 30, so I'd never heard it before. They also played other folk music from artists whose popularity was cut short by the introduction of rock. I don't care for rock music, so it was great to uncover this era.
I had completely forgotten about this song until I saw it being performed on TV recently. Every time I hear it my hair stands on end a little bit, and it makes me sad.
@Qulti: amapola was also a song from yesteryears... you may not have been born yet! here are the lyrics to that song: Amapola, lindisima amapola Sera siempre mi alma Tuya sola Yo te quiero amada nina mia Igual que ama la flor la luz del dia Amapola, lindisima amapola No seas tan ingrata Mirame Amapola, amapola Como puedes tu vivir tan sola
Some of my music is the hardest, fastest loudest you'll ever hear, yet this remains one of my favourite songs. I walked the halls of the hospital singing it to my newborn son, and throughout the rest of his babyhood.
Now, he's 10, and if I play the song to him, it makes him weep. He doesn't know why.
How it warms my heart and tugs at bittersweet memories of life when it was sweeter and so much simpler!! Music was exactly that in those dear days of my youth. Pleasant to listen to, not the offensive, vulagarity so popular in todays "Hip Hop" and "Rap"! I can also remember Mitch Miller, whom we recently lost, and the many wonderful talents he introduced to our TV world. "The Brothers Four" were clean cut and easy on the ears. How lucky I was to have grown up during this era. Beautiful.
love this music i feel that this kind of music speaks to the soul that the new music now days can not. It is so nice to see guys this age to be able to do this.
A life without music can not see the plesures of life.
The fellow a the start was Mitch Miller (His show was "Sing along with Mitch"). He just died about 6 weeks ago at the age of 99 or 100.
And the person who wrote this song's lyrics is still alive. He is about 100 or 101 or something.
So this song is good for a long life.
There is an excellent version of this by a Burmese Band called "Iron Cross". They have this pretty great guitarist called Chit Sa Mong. Google "Greenfields In Burma" to find that video. Its worth it.
The Brothers Four from The University of Washington, Seattle. They are all still around and performming, Dick Foley lives on Bainbridge Is, and was a longtime KOMO TV personality for "Northwest Afternoon". A wonderful trip down memory lane and this one"s for Yardbird McKay xx
Those were the days......This song is pure magic....It works its magic each time I listen to it. Cette chanson me plaît toujours autant. Verte campagne en est la traduction et chantée par les Compagnons de la Chanson, elle est aussi enchanteresse que l'est l'original.
Este es el primer disco que compré con 13 años en los 60... que recuerdos! la candida adolescencia....es una música preciosa, sentida, armoniosa una gran balada!
im 77 yrs. old do not have iphone or mp3 player cannot down load. how many times may i listen to your music? thanks for letting me listen. this is about all the entertainment i get and its the music of my life.
good music indeed...but Mitch Miller nearly destroyed Columbia Records...Columbia leadership was late in accepting the change to rock and roll music in the 60's. I believe that 1965 was the year that brought Columbia back into the mainstreem music scene.
Summer of '60, this was just one of so many,many fine songs from that summer. I was 14 y/o, & campaigning for a man named John Kennedy. Where have the years gone?? Beautiful, hantingly sad song. Wolfsky9
Interesting how certain songs can have an impact on people. I heard this song when it was first introduced in 1960, I was 8 year old. It gave me a feeling of sadness and melancholy then as it still does today. I feel the same way about Asnavour's "Ne Me Quitte Pas" (If You Go Away.)
i was not even born yet in 1960... when i heard this song in Vietnamese version....in 1975... my heart felt awsome.. i heard first time in english version and from Brothers Four.. it was awsome..
Это не плагиат. Многие наши певцы включали в свой репертуар мировые хиты, где открыто были указаны авторы, в том числе и автор русского текста. Чаще всего это был Гаджикасимов.
Beautiful, haunting song released Jan. 1960 reached #2 on national pop charts. All four members met while undergrads at Univ. Washington in Seattle in 1957 as members of Phi Gamma Delta fraternity.
Once upon a time this was me and Feefies song,how i wish i had them wonderful times back in my life again......my heart hurts ,love you forever sweetpea xxxxxxxx
I was in my early 20s when this magnificent song was an instant "hit", now, in my early 70s I am enjoying it even more! It's deep sadness touches my heart. The minor melody (turning into major by "I'll never know..." only to return immediately to minor again with a touch of hope: "I'll keep on waiting..." ) is perfect, and the presentation of the song by these artists (BR4) is simply superb!
когда воруют песню, то воруют мелодию а слова всегда другие, если в песне то ностальгия может быть не только по зеленым полям, но и по городу детства. А появилась она на советской эстраде после 1962 года (после дебюта в США). Есть даже сайт где указаны украденные песни

Those were the days......This song is pure magic....It works its magic each time I listen to it. Cette chanson me plaît toujours autant. Verte campagne en est la traduction et chantée par les Compagnons de la Chanson, elle est aussi enchanteresse que l'est l'original.

good music indeed...but Mitch Miller nearly destroyed Columbia Records...Columbia leadership was late in accepting the change to rock and roll music in the 60's. I believe that 1965 was the year that brought Columbia back into the mainstreem music scene.

I agree with eecortese. I don't know why but it makes me sad; it always has. It reminds me of my father.

Interesting how certain songs can have an impact on people. I heard this song when it was first introduced in 1960, I was 8 year old. It gave me a feeling of sadness and melancholy then as it still does today. I feel the same way about Asnavour's "Ne Me Quitte Pas" (If You Go Away.)
Anyone else?

"Ne Me Quitte Pas" is Jacques Brel's

Вовсе не удивлен, практически вся русская эстрада построена на плагиате :(
Ram3log 1 year ago
@Ram3log Вообще, автора (Джилкинсон) открыто указывали, так что это не плагиат, а скорее киркоровщина (римейк)
sergeich04 1 year ago
Это не плагиат. Многие наши певцы включали в свой репертуар мировые хиты, где открыто были указаны авторы, в том числе и автор русского текста. Чаще всего это был Гаджикасимов.

I was in my early 20s when this magnificent song was an instant "hit", now, in my early 70s I am enjoying it even more! It's deep sadness touches my heart. The minor melody (turning into major by "I'll never know..." only to return immediately to minor again with a touch of hope: "I'll keep on waiting..." ) is perfect, and the presentation of the song by these artists (BR4) is simply superb!

Смысл у песен совершенно разный, так что нельзя сказать, что песня была украдена. Вот музыка была явно "скопирована", это да.
К вашему сведению, господа критики, еще до Пьехи ст. эта песня исполнялась на нашей эстраде.
MisSunnymelon 2 years ago
когда воруют песню, то воруют мелодию а слова всегда другие, если в песне то ностальгия может быть не только по зеленым полям, но и по городу детства. А появилась она на советской эстраде после 1962 года (после дебюта в США). Есть даже сайт где указаны украденные песни

Класная песня! Похоже Пьеха еще в советские времена "слизала" эту песню у американцев и переделали текст на русский язык.
