  • Question for all. I am working on some of my final arrangements. I have picked out a house that I am going to haunt when I die. I was wondering if this song sounds like one that a ghost would use?

  • @1mrmoose pretty romantic ghost you will be

  • @misteeq64-A romantic ghost...I take that as a YES, that this is a song that a ghost would use.

  • I remember watching this movie (in jr. high) while babysitting,

    back then it was considered so risque'...

  • Great music. It brings me back to my happy younger carefree innocent days in the 50's.

  • fantastic piece of music no matter wat.. class...

  • Hi guys, off the back of this have bought both the dvd and book. Must have been pretty scandalous at the time, addressing all kinds of social and ethical stereotypings.... Weren't they naive?

  • this is in so many commercials, that's how i recognize it

  • The video picture is lovely; looks like a scene from paradise, with music from paradise. Great vid.

  • ijzeren heinen! auke en jan

  • I LOVE this music, id been curious for years after years :)

  • Sooooooooo Beautiful. Thanks for posting. Love it so much.

  • Quite simply my Wife knows this is the tune to be played at my passing...should I go first...I simply adore this beautiful tune as I have so many fond memories of it in my childhood....it is heaven in my minds eye...

  • @MrBrinster I can echo that. Life was so bright and optimistic in the 60s, when I was a kid. I clearly remember this playing on the radio (The Light Programme) on Sunday afternoons. It just filled me with feelings of summer, fluffy white clouds, and beautiful countryside.

  • @Auriganus So the constant thread of nuclear war was no big fuss :P Everything was better when anyone were young. But i agree, the charm and elegancy of the 50 - 60 is something we could use today.

  • @leifgodtnytarlarse The naivety of youth, mate. And it's all mine!

  • whad a beautiful piiece of music 

  • Just love it x

    Just love it x

  • as a Junior in College during the 80's I had a chance to do overseas study in Great Britain. I decided to stay the summer after school and met this incredible Scot lady named Susan. She had red hair and piercing green eyes. At first we were just friends enjoying some of the charming sights of the Scottish countryside. One evening in this wee pub, it raining and cold outside, we shared a pint of Guiness, Shepherd's pie and an achingly long look into each other's eyes as this song played.

  • i love this, i can just sit back close my eyes and listen and relax.

  • Hi jaylee. I live in England but am I am an Irish man (Larne, near Belfast, My mothers scottish from harthill just outside Glasgow). so I guest with you being scots that makes us near gaelic or celtic brethern. McNallys my name, Not trying to be too familiar. Just a great song that needs to be kept remember for its construction and beauty. Cheers and many happy years to you and your wife. My wifes lovely but hasn't got an ear for music. I might lend her my good one for this. take care. Tony

  • @ajp55a one of my retirement dreams was to visit the UK and Ireland. recovering from cancer has effectively put an end to that dream. but having friends there is the next best thing. thank you for your comments and my very best to you and your good lady. Erin go bragh. i hope i spelled that right. have a great life.

  • @JAYLEE169 Hi Jaylee sorry to hear of your illness. Never give up a dream. I suppose its the drive in us which keeps us going so dont say no to it. If you never get here at least i know you said you wanted to and thats good, that is a driver to keep the badness away. keep thinking positive. You sound like a great guy, somebody that should be listened to. Take care my friend. You are great whatever happens

  • @ajp55a thank you so much for your kind words. i only have 1 year to go before i am officially proclaimed cancer free. my family and friends have done a great deal towards helping me through this. and now, someone like you makes it even better. not only do i love this song, but i am a 50s and 60s freak. i rock out to the Beatles almost every night. i can play (guitar) most of their songs. i become an armchair rock star. lol but i love it. thanks again and feel free to comment to me anytime.

  • @JAYLEE169 you know i have only a year left before they say i am a true Englishman (have been in England 12 years for my sins) and just like you the bad things will not happen, as a matter of fact I am as healthy an irish man a when I left home. Althought some say irelands a healthier place since i left. A year cannot make you anything bad. You keep a good attitude and you also can be a good Irishman Ho ho.

  • Every time I hear this i think of people like Cary Grant or Doris Day..

  • I love this Im nearly sixty and it still breaks my heart.

  • 35 dislikes? Hummm. Beiber fans ???

  • This is what the music in Heaven must sound like.......

  • i listen to this and try to forget modern music and how terrible it all is. rap, metal, gaga crap. when did music get so angry? so many angry people in this world. why? this music makes me think that the world can also be a place of beauty not just violence and evil.

  • It listens to this tune of you when becoming this time every year.

    It listens to this tune, and it is healed every day though there are about 40 degrees.

    Thank you.

  • anybody feel like rolling around in daisies....or collecting seashells along the sea shore.....or skipping to and fro with a smile on....oh perhaps just staring at the computer screen with a childish grin soaking in the moment

  • There's a summer place, where it may rain or storm, yet I'm safe and warm, for within that summer place, your arms reach out to me, and my heart is free from all cares, for it knows there are no gloomy skies, when seen through the eyes of those who are blessed with love. And the sweet secret of, a summer place, is that it's anywhere where two people share all their hopes all their dreams all their love
  • 素晴らしい癒やしの音楽ですね!!

    TOKYOFMのジェットストリームを聴いているようです♪

  • Always thought of this as a very sinister piece of music, can imagine a blood-soaked Hannibal Lecter swaying gently to it after killing someone. That said, i've always liked it anyway!

  • I remember when I was a kid back in about 1964. My mom ran in to the grocery story and left me in the car - a pink and white Plymouth with fins on the back end, and this song was on the radio.

  • This is a great upload, have one of my pcs as a music player hooked to my amp

    this sounds beautiful

    great job love it :)

  • Its every thing thats nice

  • Music like this and others makes me think of places in my mind that quite likely doesn't exist but only in my mind.I think of being in Florida with the breeze blowing seeing palm trees around and shaded swimming pools where one can lounge for hours.This kind of music can take you to places that never was,because there are no words sang to fill in the blanks so your imagination can take over.I think of maybe one day living in Florida fishing for crabs and shrimp and relaxing in a tropical world.

  • No better name for this song. The musicians captured the breeze, the sunshine, the carefree magic of a summer's day. The song immediately makes you go back in time and pick a summertime memory to fit the melody even if you never heard the song before! It's so beautiful yet unobtrusive at the same time. It lovingly and gently enhances your memory to create a perfect moment in time that swells in your heart and forever blesses you with a ballad 100% genuine and unique to each listener.

  • Esta canción me recuerda mi infancia en Aguada, Puerto Rico. Domingos soleados, playa y la compañía de mis hermanos y primos. Hermosa melodía, me relaja y siempre rememora mis mejores años de mi infancia.

  • They sure knew how to compose back in the day..........What a beautiful song...I remember it well as a child and listening to the little transistor radio and hearing this song drift in and out during the night from WOWO radio in Fort wayne, Indiana. I lived in Virginia. That was back in the 50's. What a wonderful time to be a kid growing up then......

  • Stephen Kings Rose Red has made this song somewhat creepy for me lol!

  • Reminds of me of my Dad.

  • Absolutely superb. This was just played by Tony Blackburn on 'Pick of the Pops' on BBC Radio 2. What is 'disturbing' about it???

  • Took me forever to find this song but Ohhhhhh so worth it! Didn't even know the title or anything!

  • This somg disturbes me...

  • i fell into a trance and had to press repeat again!

  • Beyond Heaven

  • Will always remind me of "Animal House."

  • this song always creeps me out. reminds me of rose red and empty corridors filled with skeletal silhouettes and rooms that don't stay in the same place and little girls humming this song in the dark while all the doors lock shut

  • Are those french horns?

  • I'm going to buy a Subway right now!!!

  • Hi Person of limited intelligence I am only 23 but I an a regisrered nurse from LSU and you are a person of non interest, door knobs are more interesting,,get a life, and a high school degree...the old days were very special, the people who built this country that you enjoy are my father, and other people just like him,,,

  • Hi Person of limited intelligence I am only 23 but I an a regisrered nurse from LSU and you are a person of non interest, door knobs are more interesting,,get a life, and a high school degree...

  • Hi guy, I.m sorry you have all these bad comments but there were a lot of good things happening at the same time, they never got any press...good things are not news worthy...Did you live during these years, I did, I saw it all , JFK getting wacked , the Moon landing in 69, and I even got to help with the police action in Nam, that was my high school trip..and I would do it all over again..if I could...Life is short, just enjoy it..

  • @kenneth6391

    Of course many good things happened back then. Just as many good things happen now. All places in time and history have much to recommend them (and many other things that are shameful).

    I was merely responding to you saying that "America sucks now" and young Americans will never know what it is like to "live in a caring place." That's simply not true. The good old days were never as good as we remember them, and the current state of affairs is never as bad as we believe.

  • @JunkShows It's true, I say the '90s were the best years ever,because I grew up in them, I was unaware of everything that can go on in the world. The same applies to those who say the '80s were the best,probably because they grew up during those years. Turns out someone will probably say this decade or the one that just passed was the best decade ever, and that things were so much simpler back then. Lets just be happy we exist. The universe is 14 Billions years old, we live but 100 yrs, if lucky

  • @stingray666 I agree with everything you said.For me I was a teen in the 70's and in my 20's in the 80's.So for me those 2 decades were the best.The sad thing is,for each new generation that comes along things are worse in every aspect.The music is worse,the extreme rebellion is worse such as too many tattoos and piercings.But when this younger generation is exposed to our older music and lifestyles many of them wish they had been born to live in those better decades as well as we

  • @thecoolestdad ya called it like a football game im 28 covered with tatoos and a few peices of metal through various parts of my body but truthfully id gladly get time warped back to say 1950 to about 1970 but we all know thats not possible so through the car shows and oldies stations and stuff like retro tv im able to atleast get an idea of what it was REALLY like .......... and honestly the worlds got down the toilet i wish this was 1950 the world would be a better place

  • @smokey213964 I'm glad to hear that you appreciate good music like this as well as our good rock music too.I was born in 1959 but there was still a lot of 50's stuff still around in the 60's as I grew up.Going to the drive in watching those silly but cool and nostalgic intermission advertisements for hot dogs and such.Good times those were good times.I wish I knew of a place that I could go to that was stuck in the 50's/60's by the beach and just mellow out in my 2nd half of life.

  • Its from a time in america that does not exist anymore,, no locked doors , you knew all of your neighbors, I;m glad I'm old and will die soon, america sucks now,, I;m sorry for the young people they will never know what it was like,,,to live in a caring place....

  • @kenneth6391

    Ah yes, the good old days ... back when America was an apartheid country and a black man in the South could get lynched for leering at a white woman, when Jews weren't allowed into the best country clubs and applied to the top universities under a quota system, and when any woman who had pre-marital sex was a slut.

    The good old days were not nearly as good as delusion and misremembering have made them.

  • this song is the 1950s. love it.

  • damn ,i was born too late.

  • This song is my mother in law's all-time favorite. It does remind me of family picnics and when we had family reunions and the whole family was still around. A good "down-Memory-Lane" kind of song. :)

  • This is about as good as it gets !!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • Favorited and put in Best Music Playlist.

  • This song came out the year I was born. It seemed that society was so innocent and people loved one another and God.

  • My all time favorite song!! Reminds me of my best friend, working together on Saturday nights, eating take out and playing Parcheesi.

  • I first heard this while watching Rose Red, which was a made-for-tv movie... three parts or something. This song captured my imagination and after I figured out what it was, I downloaded it and played it over and over for the next couple days. It does a great job of relaxing me.

  • @dvmaprezson Same here I love it when Annie sings this song

  • Mum and Dad always said this was their song...50 years married this september.Ive been looking for it for ages to play at their party! Thankyou :)

  • @bluetopaz62

    It would be an almost perfect song to play at your parents' party. The song came out in 1960, (it was Billboard #1 for the year) a year before they got married. Congratulations to your parents for 50 blessed years united in marriage. I know that my late grandparents' marriage lasted that long, too!

  • This song takes me away from all the troubles in my life and makes me only think of the happiness and wonderful people I have in my life. It's so beautiful <3

  • it reminds me of those 1970s summer days laying at my pool

    it for some reason reminds me of my father ....long summer days playing in the pool

    my mom making a killer lunch

    father doing something in the yard ..

    our big german shepherd dog

    but mostly blue skies with wispy high .....clouds

  • One word.

    Relax-o-vision.

  • @pigeongirl Hi there, read the book, watch the dvd. Pretty shocking subjects viewed in the context of 1958. Everyday occurence today, but must have p----- a few people off then..llp p

  • its a rare song that can make you feel so happy but pull out sad emotions at the same time. does any one else get what i mean.

  • @ajp55a SWEETIE I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT MEAN, I CRY EVERYTIME I HEAR THIS SONG!!

  • @TheEstela1970 .

    you know Estela i am a bloke (45 years young) makes me love more, the people I have and more the people I could loss, and brings to mind the time i had with them all. I cant think of another song that makes me think like this. Except funnily for the theme tune start and ending to Mary Mungo and Midge ( if your from my era)

  • @ajp55a my wife and i danced to this song at our wedding, June 26th, 1971. we still dance to it. what incredible memories. i cant help but feel good every night when i listen to it. i wish you the best and the best for the U K. our valued Allie. cheers my friend....

  • @JAYLEE169 \thats my dads birthday June 26 many happy returns of your Wedding Anniversary

  • @Traveldoctor00 thank you and the same to your great dad.

  • @JAYLEE169 I love what you said there my friend. Many years of happiness to you and your wife. This song, if we can all keep it in mind will keep the fires of romance burning. I still recomend it to the up and coming wannabbees.

  • @catocasa great song isn't it?? its seems to be timeless. you're married 10 years now huh? congratulations. best of luck and thanks for your reply.

  • @ajp55a I don't see how one could be sad listening to this beautiful song.

  • @ajp55a Everyone.

  • @ajp55a its sad because the world isnt as perfect and beautiful as the music is. i also loved the movie.

  • @ajp55a Perfectly.... I couldn't say it better.

  • @ajp55a i don't see how one can be sad listening to such a beautiful song

  • @ajp55a - What you've said is so revealing. Sometimes to be at a very happy "place" (a place and time) touches one so deeply the heart is moved infinitely - can shed a tear. 

  • @ajp55a Yep! Weep at this track every time I here it. Had to buy the book and the dvd to watch. must have been pretty shocking way back then. Scary thought! I was alive then also...

  • @ajp55a Absolutly matey love it

  • @ajp55a agree

  • Is there any thing to say about this music ? It goes to your heart, memories of your youth,your life, after 50 years it still makes me cry in a good way !

  • nostalgia is the language of the heart..the bittersweet melancholia + happiness & joy = Love

  • effin classic.. thnx poster..

  • u got nowt to remember ralmar9? there there ill be ur friend.. absolute classic thnx poster top notch...

  • everyone stop getting all nostalgic. it's annoying

  • In 1969 I lived on a small farm in NY. My beautifull girlfriend had long red hair and we would walk through the fields talking and laughing about life. This song was ours, I remember gazing in her eyes with the song in the background on the radio in the barn. I still love you Karen.

  • @James1st1 oh my god so sweet

  • Is this the best song ever? I'm starting to think that it just may be. I don't listen to any specific genre of music. My tastes are all over the board, but I tend to think that I am a pretty good judge of music. It really doesn't get much better than this.

  • 33 people struck out at their summer place

  • I would get this song in my head every once & a great while through out the years but couldn't remember the name of it. I was FINALLY able to look it up because of the Subway sandwich commercial. : )

  • Deeee deee-dee deee-deeeeeeee :3

  • now, this really brings back ''special memories''!

  • 33 peeople got sunburned at a summer place

  • 33 people don't remember the lyrics to Theme from a Summer Place.

  • thumbs up if jasper brought you here

  • Calms the savage beast....and lowers blood presure. Love this songs.

  • haha i can imagine somone going on a killing spree wit this song playing in the background

  • I'd like to dedicate this song to my beloved aunt who was second closest to me after my mother who recently passed away. She always had a special summer place for me and my brother and rest of the family where there was happiness, laughter, joy, and many, many wonderful memories...

  • wow

  • Forever swooning listening to this song. I listen to it during indescribably beautiful instances such as watching my parents dance up and down the drive way, or absolutely unbearable times such as when I'm riding the cta when it's cramped fulla bodies. No matter where I am, it always makes me feel the same, beautiful, hopeful, young and inspired.

  • 33 dislikes? Must be children playing with the computer.

  • SUBWAY :))

  • I was born the year this song came out and it makes me realise i was born too late for really beatifull music and a free America that i will never know.........

  • 32 people are so lost!!

  • GO JASPER!!!

  • Simply put, THE most gorgeous slow-dancing song ever--EVER-- recorded. Until you've taken the floor to this, you've not known romance. Wolfsky9

  • 永遠のスタンダードですね!

    清々しいメロディーが最高です。

  • Think if we all looked at the reviews of the book, it may be a little darker than this fantastic track.... Small town morals and ethics are not nessscccaaarrriily a bad thing. You can get it on Amazon, llp p

  • fell in love w/ this song the first time i watched Rose Red. it was creepy coming from that movie but still beautiful.

  • @xMizzDollFacex Yeah, that's it. I was trying to remember how I decided to search for this song and that was it for me as well. Rose Red. Was it the credits? Anyways, I remembered and it bothered me for a long time because there are no lyrics and I didn't bother to read it in the credits either. Luckily for me, I heard it somewhere else and then I heard it on Beck's music thing. It would have really upset me if I hadn't heard again somewhere else to find it here.

  • @SyrilRam yah! same here too, i couldnt figure out what song it was either for years and it always bothered me so then i finally came to realize DUH! google Red Rose soundtrack lol

  • His most famous and remembered recordings are "Delicado" (1952), "The Song from Moulin Rouge" (1953) and "Theme from A Summer Place" (1960), which won the Grammy Award for Record of the Year in 1961. Faith remains the only artist to have the best selling single of the year during both the pop singer era ("Song from Moulin Rouge") and the rock era ("Theme from a Summer Place").

  • Why would such wonderfully orchestrated music like this even be heard by such immature people who unfortunately have internet access? Don't you have porn sites and other such garbage sites you can pollute and others of your ilk, "enjoy?"

  • Thumbs up if Jasper from the simpsons sent you here too! lol

  • Mmmm.... Relax-O-Vision...

  • This song is so calming. I am starting to feel a bit sleepy listening to it:)

  • i sucked on a bottle to this first time, A bottle of beer today helps bring it back ,if i can get a teat to fit over my bottle of beer as this song plays i would be home, hee heee

  • This song always makes me think of our Family Picnics in the 60's when all my aunts and uncles were alive and well. The food and family, the big softball game, the way all of us cousins would run around the park, it was all so great. So many are gone now. RIP Mom, Grandma, Uncle John and Billy, and Aunt Aud, lil Danny. I miss you all so much it just breaks my heart sometimes. Nonetheless, I love this great song.

  • @DickAllen1972

    I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!! BRINGS BACK LOT'S OF MEMORIES....

  • @DickAllen1972 I spent the evening trying to figure out what the title and artist was for this song. I am so happy that I did for it brings back the same memories for me that it does for you. And what great memories they are....

  • @DickAllen1972 Oh I know what you mean

    Oh to bring back happy time im sure times were better in the 1960s but maybe im getting old xx

  • @nylonTS no you not getting old. i am 63. i loved the 60s. greatest decade of rock in history,,plus we had incredible easy listening music like this great song. if you were getting old, you wouldnt remember how great the 60s were. peace my friend...

  • @DickAllen1972 Do you believe that there will be a time in the future of a resurrection of dead loved ones?

  • @DickAllen1972 That's sad, i'm teenage boy and people say i look serious and upset all the time, but what u said could really make me cry, i'm sorry dude

  • @DickAllen1972 A lovely post. I felt your words, identified totally with them. I needed to hear this song just now for similar reasons you've described, and came across your post. God bless your loved ones. I'm right there with you. I'm the last one of my family.

  • we had to do a dance routine to this when I was at school aged 13,, never forget when I hear this ,,,we did quite well for a groupnmof awkward teenagers,,summer music ,,,ahhhhhh

  • Classic melody.

  • I listen to this music when I get in bar fights.

  • This remembers  me when i watched rose red

  • Comment removed

  • I love this music, just love it lol x

  • one of my all time favorites. thanks for posting....

  • good song to listen to when it's 9 degrees outside and three feet of snow on the ground.

  • THE most romantic song ever---EVER-- recorded. Ever. Wolfsky9

  • @Wolfsky9 THE most suitable lobby music for mental hospitals

  • @Wolfsky9 I understand how u could feel this way...however...please..type in...Jane Eyre first time ever i saw your face....and tell me what u think...u may change your mind

  • I don't know why, but this song reminds me of Spongebob and Patrick running in slow motion through the perfume department in that one episode....

  • i heard this song when i was watchin rose red! every time i hear this i get the creeps thinking about the movie.thumbs up if you agree!

  • OMG, I love this song!!!!

  • Thirty years after Up a Lazy River an instrumental that oozes summer fun -complete with  great relaxed drumming. Timeless- like a hot summer day- taking it easy.

  • I may not be old as others here, but I was born near the year 2,000 and I absolutely love this instrumental music. I also enjoy many older music from the 1940's to 1960's. It is marvelous and very relaxing.

    I don't like the music genre today, such as rap, hip-hop, metal, or any kind of hard rock, but most of my generations do.

  • This what I call Music. A REAL CLASSIC ;)

  • this is wonderful 

  • remember hearing this song at home while mom was making dinner 20 years ago, it was one of her favorite songs. i miss her

  • @ccampana85 ... Sending you heartfelt (((hugs))) My lovely Mum went to join Aaron in 2003.. she loved this tune too.. Keep your memories alive, and smile with the happy ones.. cry with the sad as I do.. Much love to both our Mothers listening and enjoying up above... :0)x

  • @ccampana85 This was my Mom's favorite song. I remember hearing it too throughout the house. It's truly amazing how much we miss the one who were most near and dear to our hearts. May the holidays bring you joy and happiness.

  • @keithdeininger And may the holidays bring you joy and happiness as well.

  • @keithdeininger tune not song.

Then 1 year and 10 days later his brother Aled was born, and the same song was playing in the Maternity Suite.. This is Aaron and Aled's song and it always makes me cry and smile in equal measure...Happy Birthday Aaron, not here on this mortal plain with us, but still remembered with much love.. :0)X

  • @wenglishsal .. Oops should say SONG, sorry guys very emotional today... :0)X
