Bobby Darin sings the Simple Song Of Freedom

[MrAnasfizazi]

Just One of the Best's Ever !

[karrie20x]

Love it! Agree with it!



[2georgeorwell]

lose the drums, keep it reverent, not perky.....too bad....shoulda been just the guitar and choir

[sebulia1]

Bobby Darin's best song ever, IMO. Right up there with the best of John Lennon's stuff (and Lennon's "Imagine" is my favorite song of all time).

I really love this song ...

[gem645]

Thank You for sharing this video to me ^_^

[MsZibatarinmoosighii]

[foz750]

pure nectar, such a pure song.

[baldymer]

I never associated Bobby Darin with this kind of song but then I don't know much about him. I do know that I like this song a lot, a simple message very well expressed.

[SkinnyBabe38]

Awesome song....What a wonderful message to the world....Amazing video.

Peace to all.

Wish you a happy week full of peace,love and many blessings.

[PATRICELUMUMBAS]

good

[solidus929]

I had nearly forgotten what a lovely voice Bobby had. What a crying, screaming, howling shame that we the people have amnesia and didn't remember in 2003 that we didn't want a war.

Thank you for the reminder.

@Adamfulgence Great upload and fabulous video.  You done a great job my friend. Have not heard the song before either.

Takes me WAY back to an era when songs actually had meaningful lyrics. Thank for sharing. Wonderful job on your video presentation.

[igirao]

[allendale18]

Well done!

[ablakadi]

Let us teach this song to students in every school all over so that they sing it every morning to revoke the decisions made by politicians and arm producers and dealers, and let the people get relieved of their stress and live in peace.................

[Melissa11rocks]

I've never heard about Bobby Darin before. But his music goes into the hear and into he heart.

[gropingwithastoker]

I had this wonderful Darin young playing in the background; I looked up for an instant to see Phil Ochs at 2:28. Thank you.

[Pedy1968]

Love the simple song of FREEDOM!

[0nman]

WE THE PEOPLE HERE DON'T WANT WAR!!!!!!!

[Lichtfee004]

Love it ! Thanks .. Freedom for the world Ann Sander

[Wildbuncher]

Bobby Darin wrote this song in 1969 right after Nixon took office with the promise to end the war in Vietnam, but instead started dropping more bombs. I remember the people in the streets chanting: "Hey, hey, LBJ. How many kids did you kill today." So Oatifer has a point. Carter was the only president in recent history who didn't kill anybody or invade anybody, and spoke forcefully for human rights. But it's a great song however it's presented.

faute traduction:

c'est pas sept cents million sont recruté, mais :

sept cent million est que vous m'entendez.

(sa veut dire le monde entier auparavant il ya avait un peu prét 700.000 humain dans le monde entier)

I love this video, yesterday I was watching "Beyond the Sea" a Biopic of Bobby Darin. I had quite a crush on him when I was about 10 yrs old. I had no idea he did a song like this, I seem to remember he became a Lounge Lizard for a while before he died. All of your photo's are so well put together, I especially love the one of Pete Seeger and the other of Woody Guthrie. Thank you so much, just a thought not a criticism, what about a pic of Arlo Guthrie in there after Pete and Woody.

[ArtsKris]

Wonderful work on the peace, the freedom. Wonderful song. I like your work Eileen. You are an intelligent and good person.

[JANCIEprodukTie]

reaLLy CooL BRAVO!!!

[chatefrancaise]

Wow. Tante Eileen, Je t'adore! I love your artistic sensibility. Your videos are always right on with interpretation. Amazing how things never seem to change, and songs seem to apply no matter when you hear them. Had no idea Bobby Darin had such a smooth voice.

[29Shanti]

Merci pour ce partage les paroles parlent d'elles-mêmes et la vidéo est comme toujours superbement faite...

Tu es réaliste, tu me sembles émotive et sensible, tout ceci fait de toi une personne merveilleuse.... Encore merci et à trés bientôt.

[boxxxah]

Eileen ..you did it again ...oxoxxo I love your brain :) and your music artists you choose ~ you are amazing.

[Leilazul]

It would be maervelous human beings take notice about the manipulations to carry them into a war....really, what about if nobody goes?......the powerful if not have enemies create them, for the big bussiness of war.....just we want PEACE.

Your edition is fantastic, as images and song.

Congratulations my friend!

[mariutza66]

Eileen... que belleza y hermosa dedicatoria a Doug!!

Una noble causa...me gusto mucho ver la imagen entre otras de John Lennon.

Dejo muchas estrellas**********

Y sobre todo un gran abrazo.

María José.

I like the nice mellow voice with the building tempo. I am surprised by the mentioning of conflicts on the African continent. In1969 most peace and protest songs were pretty much focused on Vietnam and had nothing to do with all the wars and conflicts of that time unless they were old civil war songs. Peace may never come to humanity in our life time but we can start with music instead of guns.Bobby Darin a time traveler in song. Thanks for the great collection of pictures.

[Adamfulgence]

@appapo3 Thanks for your comment, Brian! As for the African reference, I do believe the problem(s) existed at that time but that it wasn't on the radar screen. It's also interesting to note that in the Tim Hardin rendition, the stanza on Solzhenitsyn was left out....perhaps to avoid controversy...?? I don't know....

[likekinds]

Eileen,

What can I say, except that I guess I'm not as hardened as I thought I was. This beautiful, inspiring and insightful video, did bring a couple of tears to my eyes. The subject of peace is very close to my heart, and I truly appreciate you spreading that message in such a warm and talented way.

Thank you so very much.

[uterclenoi]

It's very nice what you did! I refer primarily to the message and the way forward harmoniously. Peace should not only remember when, because of wars, people die. We also believe that peace is not just absence of war (not agree with that famous saying "if you want peace prepare for war"). I believe that peace is a virtue, a disposition for benevolence, confidence, justice. Congratulations and success!

[zjmn58]

Great video Eileen!! You have a wonderful talent for putting photos,music,and a message together. Thanks for sharing!! : )

[CARMSFAV]

I too have put this on my Facebook page. You are right, Eileen. The words of this song are just as prevelant today, which is a very sad thing. Once again my friend, amazing song, images and video. Peace

[cogermax91]

All is very good !!!!just excellent video ,images ,music ,message !!!love your work !!!

[MHumberto]

Tremendously beautiful piece of song, and images, and words. Brother Solzhenitsyn are you busy ... is it Joan Baez further ahead? Lovely photograph of her if it is Eileen. I´d never heard Bobby Darin like this. I imagine he must have sung this late in life as this is not the voice we know from all those 50´s radio classics. Wonderful songs those of him.

[Adamfulgence]

@MHumberto Hi Manuel! You're right. He had become involved in the Vietnam anti-war movement. He had been also been highly involved in Robert Kennedy's campaign (he was there when Kennedy was assassinated in 1968). He went through a very difficult period after this and it was during that time that he wrote the song (1969).

[MHumberto]

Oh that´s why then, but it´s not less beautiful Eileen, it´s just different that´s all. The things you say make me like him more, now. I had no idea of that.

Is it Joan Baez?

[clarebannerman]

I've posted it on my Facebook Profile Page...........I was one of the millions that marched against the war in Iraq /Afghanistan.......... War criminals never to be brought to justice.
