Hey that is is really great. For those of us who grew up in THAT home movie era, the look of these films will always be nostalgic. Great synching up to a great song.
My mother lies dying and my father does all he can at his advanced age to comfort her. This video so reminds me of my parents when they were young and so in love. I swear it will make me cry. You're so lucky to have captured those moments. This video is truely artful.
adventuresinlistening.tumblr.com/post/9219873015/this-will-be-our-year-the-zombies-by-mitm2002 Great work. Love the use of Super 8 film... I have a couple films that use super 8 film on my videos....
Every once in a while I just need a viewing to keep my own life in perspective. Great song and great editing. I'm sure the Zombies themselves would be moved.
This song is going to be my first dance song for my wedding. We're going to be dancing an old fashioned fox trot, and I just know it's going to be the best feeling in the world. The warmth. :)
Hey.... great job! I loved it. So classic!!! And what a fantastic song. I just discovered The Zombies a couple years ago (beyond "Time Of The Season" anyway). Odessey & Oracle is such a fantastic album. If I can find it on vinyl I'll totally film one of my TheDailyVinyl videos for one of the tracks. Again... great job mitm.
Its wild to think that the young folks in a film like this, are at retirement age now-a-days!! I really like seeing old film like this...and of course it's one of my all time favorite songs!! :-)
Oh and a side note... my one moment in history, that I would like to go back (before my time) to witness, would be seeing a Saturn V rocket lift-off!! :-)
That must have been INCREDIBL:E!! :-) Cheers Y'all! :-)
I love your video! Quick question, did you put in the trumpet (I think it is trumpet) or was that already on the track. I don't think mine has the trumpet in it but it sounds amazing!
@gildo682 The trumpet is only on the mono mix of the song, so any stereo vinyl or the iTunes version of Odessey and Oracle does not have the trumpet. It sounds so much better with the trumpet
the only song they could afford to have actual classical instruments on. they made great use of the mellotron throughout the rest of the album, but this simple and beautiful tune takes the cake. no offense to "care of cell 44!"
This video makes me so happy and so sad at the same time...It makes me miss being little...I miss when me and my brother were close like this =/ I always truly wanted a family like this. *Sigh*.
I was born in 1962 and this video made me miss these really good ole days. These were definately the best time to grow up,60s-70s. Very good job putting this video to gether. I wish this time period could come back again.
omg i don't even know your family and I find this the most adorable thing I've seen in a long time.... you must be very happy. And this song is amazing I've always loved it.
1:23 was my favorite moment. also the kid scooting along on a skateboard. awesome work here. super8 really has an ethereal quality. nice camerawork too. your family seems really awesome.
This is my absolute favorite video on youtube! I have sent it to everyone I know over the past couple of years. You did an amazing job -- and I love your family. Thank you for making my favorite song a special memory.
You could have at LEAST used footage that was all from the same year. After all, the song isn't called "These Will Be Our Years." I'm kidding. Don't flame me.
The song is just amazing!! and the video just add adds gravity and levity to the song. Makes the song have more meaning than it already does..good job mate!
usually don't like when people make their own videos to classic songs, but this is amazing. The Zombies would approve! Thanks for this.
