  • thank you, also, for posting.

  • Reminds me of the joy my friends and I had watching MTV for hours, enjoying the videos, and waiting for a new one. There was always something inventive, creative, and new. There was, that is. That's all been sapped out of it today.

  • Man, I just turned 38 the other day. I watch this video and it really speaks to me- in terms of fading youth....

    Up until recently, I always likened myself to the guy running on the beach, more and more though, I'm the guy at his desk "looking back"...

    Great song and video.

  • Otra de mis canciones favoritas de los 80's..que recuerdos que ya no volveran..todo se ha ido...solo una lagrima por esos recuerdos de juventud

  • prends la vie du bon coté...elle est si courte.

  • Who would dislike this?!?! Honestly this song fucking rocks!! Thanks for posting

  • There is no words to describe this song and video!!!!

  • listen to roger daltrey from the who version of this song

    better than the original

    on my channel

  • DEAR YOUTUBE THERE IS A DISLIKE BUTTON ON THIS VIDEO PLEASE FIX THAT

  • You'll always be my boy of summer, "lovu" CP

  • What a fucking brilliant song.

  • Why was Don Henley so concerned about a bunch of boys leaving town?

  • @Soullight86

    The "boys of summer" is a metaphor for baseball players, the baseball season.

    When he sings about the boys of summer gone, he refers to the end of baseball season, the end of summer. He is singing about his experiences of the summer during his youth, which is now gone since is is older.

  • @asientos1 Thanks for that clarification.. Genuinely did not know about the reference to the baseball season but was having a little joke.

  • why did i have to be born in the 90s?? wish i'd lived when this came out!

  • @LolaLavonda i agree

  • It has to be in 240p quality since it is old.

  • definitely they don't make songs like this. They just remix them or resing them. Music is in a state of depression. its absolutely crap with exception of very few songs.

    There are no musicians anymore, just a team of people to make a product.

  • great 80's song.

  • Bring back the quiff!! lol.

  • WOW - I love this song. I just wished it's tempo picked up somewhere and really broke loose some a more rocking beat.

  • Makes me think of you, Sunn. Every time.

  • Always loved this song

    

  • THIS SONG IS ABOUT BASEBALL NOT A RICH COUPLE ON THE BEACH FCK THIS SONG BASEBALL IS DIEING AND TAKING PATRIOTISM AMONGST THE YOUTH WITH IT!!!!

  • @justindanielp You mad?

  • Best time...80`s classic...

  • Magical melody brings a real summer sense!!! I simply adore this song - I almost feel an ocean breeze and smell of a warm sand....

  • temon...grande don henley...eagles forever

  • I was born in the 90's and still this is the song I sing when summer is well underway! What I wouldnt give to have experienced the 80's music scene first hand!

  • I was just looking at a picture of me and my cousins from 1994. :-) Wow, that seems so long ago now......I was a little kid enjoying playing house, hide and seek, and climbing trees with my cousins at our grandma's house, and now we are all in college/ the military/ working and getting married. ^_^

  • Comment removed

  • im crying listening to this song reminds me of a dear freind whitney who got married and havent heard from sense last summer when we hung out before she got married. man the memories haunt me and alot of songs remind me of things

  • @KutscheetAmsterDam And as for this comment, FUCK OFF! You cant say shit about the US Military.

  • @KutscheetAmsterDam Dude. Suck a dick. Im American, 16, and I listen to this. This is classic music. You diss classics and your dissing pretty much everything that existed then and everything now because these song shaped the future. This kind of music was revolutionary. Its amazing...its classic

  • @KutscheetAmsterDam haha wow you really seem immature to me. i just lost all respect for you because i know my brother well. you dont. why would you even try to ruin this video? because my brother gave people advice? you should respect canada like most dutch people do because we liberated you from the nazis. i respect holland, not you.

  • @Litterboxer529 I agree with you there. Cept for the Nazi liberation thing. That was a lot more American and British involvement. Not saying you guys didnt at all. I definitely respect you for landing alonside us on DDay

  • @PoMastaCheef117 In Canada we have the Tulip Festival which is getting tulips from the Dutch government for liberating them. My grandpa helped liberate Holland, along with the British and Americans, but the Americans liberated the south, the British liberated the West and we Liberated the North and East, the rhine area. 

  • @KutscheetAmsterDam

    1: he's white

    2: he was born in Canada, he voulunteered

    3: he did it because he wanted to give back. im not on this video to argue, im on this video to listen to the song. i dont disrespect you, so i dont understand what i did to deserve that.

  • @KutscheetAmsterDam uh that comment was by my brother and he grew up to be a marine. hes not a weasel hes a nice person.

  • Greetings from the 1980s

  • RIP Good olde MTV

  • living here in los angeles the city beyond angel, wow wish this was real its been a year now when i think of my ex kathy webb all the *&*Uck she did by running out and smoking crack,,, i wish women like this one (yes i know she is an actess, she does'not smoke crack,, kathy blew47,000 roger

  • amazing song I finally found it !

  • this song will always bring back those lost care free summers belive me i've had a few. it is right youth is wasted on the young but your only young once enjoy it , only once it comes

  • Makes ya want to give Don a hug. This song gives me perspective if that makes any sense. :)

  • good song!

  • NICE upload, thanks. Such a great song, album, artist. This throws me waaaay back to 7th grade, MTV (when they actually played videos). The music back then was so much better too.

    And @IraLive1 - 12 years old and digging classic 80's music. One word...awesome!

  • Oh yeah... the best song eva'! And I'm only 12! :DD

  • every time of life can be nostalgic... I remember driving home late one afternoon in autumn, when I was 21, and this song was on the car radio, and the music and the slant of the afternoon light made me aware of how much time had passed since I was 19 and first heard "boys of summer"... now I'm not nostalgic at all, lol... but this is still a great song

  • They Just Don't Make Them Like This anymore ! A Classic from 1985 ....NUFF SAID

  • Love Love Love this, no beach to go home to in the 80's just a little flat, but hey absolutely brilliant music that paints pictures in your head xx

  • Man, This music has so much meaning, Lost Love and Aging, Forever Timeless!

  • reminds me of my soulmate

  • I love this song, but it makes me realize how fast life is going by.

  • I like it,when i had 18,it's was the better music in my personality about love lol...

  • warm nights getting in trouble dating... irreplaceable memories. No matter what I do I just cant feel the same as I did back then Everything was so new. Wish I could go back and live just one summer when I was young over again

  • ahhh fucking memories... the amount of nostalgia at the moment is better than any drug known to man

  • This song really kills me. It's so awesome. <3

  • haha..i never knew this was the original song....i always heard the version by The Ataris :P haha well both are good

  • This song makes me cry

  • When anyone asks me "what is your all-time favorite song?" I always say this one.

    I am a fan of music from many decades but this one holds a special place in my heart. Reminds me of teenage yrs with no responsibilities and great memories. Wish I could go back just so I could enjoy those moments even more than I did then.

  • One of the most zajebisty song in the world!

  • Royals fans out there perhaps you can remember the days before Crown Vision when they would show that old Royals highlight film on the Jumbotron set to this music. It could be the dead of winter, I hear this song and I'm in the ballpark on a warm summer day or night. Magic!

  • I would love for someone to do a Home and Away tribute video to this song.

  • This song makes me think of all the right and wrong choices in my life. The synths have some sort of voodo to them that they captivate you in a very tragic, yet beautiful kind of way. I picture myself driving down a long, desolate road with the windows down, the warm summer air gently running its gentle fingers through my hair. the thought of looking back in the rearview mirror muddled by the anger and pain of love lost but not forgotten. Something tragically romantic about a broken heart...

  • love this song, always listen to it by the ataris and never knew it was a cover xD

  • i'm so sick and tired of people saying that the ataris version is better. i grew up on the ataris version but respect the original too. it's different but good which is why its a cover damn it. original is original.

  • @Litterboxer529 u are so right! This music makes me an emotional wreck every time i hear it.. i don't know about you, but i am just 23 and i have had the best girlfriend (at that time) ever! ive lost her in italy.. this was our song, i wish i was back in that time. Every time i hear this song it makes me happy and sad at the same time.. epic

  • @Litterboxer529 - I agree with and I miss that time........ so special and so beautfiul time that was...... Those days are gone... but left so much to remember and to miss...

  • @Litterboxer529 - I agree with and I miss that time........ so special and so beautfiul time that was......

  • @mmkhan1121 This song has emotional value for u also probably

  • just perfect......

  • I'm 45 and was a senior in high school when this came out, those days are kept in my mind forever as the best days of my life. Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it. Time of your life, huh kid?

  • Spent all last summer driving around blaring this in my da's car after getting my licence, didn care about anything! Ultimate driving song!

  • ...this reminds me of my old man...may he rest in peace...

  • Poor man he cant even finish his work still achin over his girl

  • Thats how you should treat love Don't look back You can never go back

  • 7 people are Girls of Winter

  • When I graduate, this will be my song title haha

  • The only reason this song isn't as popular as it should be is because of the many instrumental breaks. It makes it bad for karaoke compared to something like Don't Stop Believing

  • one of the most beautiful rock songs ever written.

  • sooooo upbeat.....But, he's feeling somethinggggggg......it's a little toooo much.....But, he's painting a picture.. :)-"

  • larger then life

  • no cover will ever beat the original, this song is pure magic

  • I put in an extra like ;)

  • for some reason i have yet to figure out this is my favorite song of all time

  • extra

  • @KakquesqueNightmare

    Well at least you made it through those times you thought weren't worth living for.

    dumbass. (:)

    Hope your able to appreciate life now...

  • Zajebisty utwór.........To jest prawdziwa muzyka a nie to gówno co teraz jest tworzone,.,..

  • They sure don't make them like this any more

  • wow when summer love was fun and this song was the bomb the 90's a time of fun now all are crackheads,,,,,

  • underrated song!

  • I feel like I got to my own little '84 heaven when I watch this... I was 18 and a senior in high school with not a care in the world...

    Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

  • Hey whoisthatguy1000: Fear not. Summers keep coming and they are followed by new and exciting seasons. Life is like that too: the best is yet to come, and if you figure out who you are, so that you live in the flow, you'll never get old.

  • This song reminds me so much of The Outsiders... GO GREASERS!

  • Crack a beer

    summer breeze

    boys & the BBQ

    You walk across the yard to offer the pretty girl a steak.

  • Im 22 and this is the song of my life right now.

    Im about to graduate college and my summers are gone, as is most of my youth.

    Good memories, though.

  • @whoisthatguy1000

    22? Dude I'm 32 about to be 33. I remember when this song first came out. Trust me, you still have plenty of youth, the key is just not wasting it.

    I have a LOT of things I wish I had done and a few people I wish I had listened to at that age. Live it up man. This song hits harder if you have even the slightest regrets.

  • @whoisthatguy1000 Whaaaat!! Try remembering the song when it first came out! I'm hitting 40 now and still think I'm young, believe me you are still nearly a teenager! Youth lasts till you have kids!!!

  • @whoisthatguy1000

    lol, 22! I wish i would be that young again! But yes, i also had my best times between 11 and 20.

  • @foxfoobar maybe it was nostalgia.

  • @whoisthatguy1000

    "Most of my youth is gone" What, at 22? What do you consider yourself -middle aged? You ARE young, my friend! Wait until you're 42 like me, then you can look back wistfully on your younger days!

  • @MrWingedSerpent wish i was as young as 42!

  • @MrWingedSerpent well said, my contemporary comrade. 45 years young here. This song rightfully made Rolling Stone's top 500 of all time list (at least they got that one correct), and Jon Bon Jovi (don't hate) will always say it's his favorite song ever...just like me.

  • well, I am 31 but don't fell like it - and looking younger that my 25 years old collegues:) but sometimes at 20's people dont feel as attractive and sure of themselves as at their 30's

  • @whoisthatguy1000

    same here man, just about to graduate, all the shoulda coulda woulda going through my head.

  • @whoisthatguy1000 good luck, man

  • this song just made me so sad :(

  • Awesome Song But I Have No Idea Why I Always Thought Huey Lewis was singing This =]

  • long summers of the 80s not a care in the world driving without speed cameras, humps in the road great times!!

  • my favorite song of all time

  • love this sonq. <3

  • thumbs up for the kid on the gutiar !!!!!

  • One of my favorite 80's song...........lots of great memories!

  • this mother fucker is the badest dude ever

  • Out on the road today I saw a Dead Head sticker on a cadillac...

  • "don't look back, you can never look back" Well, i wish that i look back a little less sometimes, because everytime it makes me realise that i'm getting old, and that sucks.

  • Is summer really coming........

  • This song will forever hold special a place in my mind. It reminds me of being a suburban kid in the early summer, and I know what thats like. Spending your days down at the beach and then going home at night to the warm air. They say the summers of your teenage years are the best times of your life, so kids, live it up. Get in trouble and fall in love, then next summer do it again.

  • @Litterboxer529 sounds awesome. i grew up in 80s. i remember these youth years and im trying to live like a kid, seeking no problems, doing childish things like playing games, doing nothing and trying to not grow up. im nearly 30y old and music like this is the best way to keep memories of youth years. to all of you - youngsters - its nothing bad in celebrating simple life without problems of mature ppl. try to live seeking no problems and doing no problems. its best way to live your live.

  • @Litterboxer529 hmm feeling sentimental this evening... lol no one cares about ur advice so just leeve us boys to enjoy our selves keep ur shitty life to urself :)

  • @Litterboxer529 Until you can't do it anymore... And then use your gained skills to make it so you can do it again. <3

  • @Litterboxer529 Best advice ever, you dont want to look back and say man I never did anything. Just dont get in big trouble with weapons and DUIs, go tag a wall or something innocent 

  • im a gay fud

  • this song is an imense orgasm

  • @johnlebron8

    In this song you can feel the breath of the Universe...

  • How do I grab this video to my hard drive? It was here in the past and was blocked..

    THE BEST!

  • @chuckm51 insert the url to this video on zamzar dot com under the download tabs

  • i love this song and i am 14 xx :D my dad used to play this song in the car and i love it !! i dont ususally like music from before i was born but i do with this song xx :P

  • @KaLeLMvZ

    That's just Holy words. You are right my friend, we are living in a decadent Era.

    Money and technology will bring all of us to Hell.

  • wow. this song gives me that 80s mindset. and i was born in 93!!

  • @rockincaribbean I was born in 94......

    I like to listen old musics and old 80s and 90s films :)

    Also old channels too :)

  • I wondered this since this song came out. Does anyone know if that is Van Nuys Boulevard behind him?

  • @EvilDandy I thought it was Seattle, as it looks like the sky-needle thing is behind him at one point. Probably just my imagination, though.

  • The irony of it,a song I loved as a young man about the loss of ones youth now makes me think about my own youth,now sadly gone.

  • Oh wow ! This takes me right back to 1985, that was a good year !.One of my favourites in fact.

  • @SleekDeduction Sounds like Rambo 1.

  • This song is so evocative and the video is a masterpiece. Back in the day when MTV actually played music this was in high rotation and with good reason.

  • 中学時代の歌です。

    胸がキュンとなります。

  • @1230mota Amen

  • Don Henley, what a legend.

  • How can there be more views of the covers of this song than this, the absolute best song of the eighties!!!!

  • This Song Takes me back to getting ready for school in 1984 baltimore city(1200 block of preston) I was 6 and this was my fav song

  • This is the song I would take to a desert island. .

    the guitar is especially good. my favorite guitar part is from 2:59 to 3:04, five seconds of my favorite guitarin in the whole world. I never get tired of this song, it's got everything!

  • How does this not have more views?

  • Goose bumps, the back of my head, wanna run back, just back..back to when..

  • i can see you, your brown skin (still) shining in the sun....

  • Anyone know where you can get an instrumental version of this particular version, the original?

  • Love it as much today as I did when it first came out! It never gets old.

  • I remember wen i was younger my big sister listened too thiss like 20 times a day and i was thinkin back today and i remember this song and it took me like 6 hours to think what it went like and find the song and i acc lovee itt soo much it brings back good memories :D

  • 0:00 - 0:32 ...how cool. This will be in next GTA.

  • Comment removed

  • The little boy on drums is fucking trippy.

  • @rebelroka Heck ya!! My dad brought me up on this stuff!! And its great cause even when I was little, my friends were all britney spears and Backstreetboys and I'd be sitting there singing Heart, Eagles and all that....hahahahaha...it sucks whats happen to the music buissness these days....
