So glad you picked up on the "tooo" really lifts the backing vocals, not many seem to comment on the amazing backup from Robin & Maurice 🙂

Barry is the one that does falsetto.

There are deep truths here that can only be fully conveyed emotionally as well as intellectually, and music, we all know, is an emotional language, a language of the heart and of the spiritual consciousness. The message in this song is one of the most important messages for a socially conditioned Westerner. Britain was a disease that flowered, and it desiccated and destroyed our lives before going on to tear up the whole of humanity and destroy our once beautiful, perfect, whole, total, unspoiled living system of Mother Earth. You and I are Mother Earth, so let's shoot the world with black songs calling for her liberation, our liberation from the disease process of the white mind and white society. I am white in skin colour but black in heart, and Mother Nature is often called a black woman. She emerged in Africa after all, as did we all.

Great work Mom, it's never to late to teach them what real music is..

FootStompin music and Aimless Lady are 2 of my favorites.

Another amazing fact about the late Judith Durham: from the age of four she was affected by a severe lung disease called Bronchiectasis. Symptoms typically include a chronic cough, shortness of breath, coughing up blood, chest pain and wheezing. To have had such a terrific singing careen while dealing with such an affliction is exceptional.

Well said. Both of you. I grew up after Simon & Garfunkel's era but always loved their music. It defined my 20s in so many ways.

They still have a drive in, in Door County, WI.

Your spidey senses from the start of the song were amazing haha you're sharp.

Wow = you haven't even coveted! Wow wow and you are soooo smart! Not

Grow up

That wuz veery sod! Speak English without your giggly giggly gurl powah X stu ff

As a parent, this song always makes me think of what it is to be a parent. The unconditional love, the sheltering and nurturing, gradually allowing a new human being to grow and spread their wings and become independent but with the knowledge that mom and dad will forever be there, just over their shoulder, to pick the up when they fall, soothe their hurts, and always be their strongest, staunchest supporter, no matter what the circumstances. I used to sing this to my daughter when she was a baby and now, nearly 35 years later, I still mean every word.

Anytime such stars like EltonJohn. Kenny Rogers, Lionel Richie, Celine Deone, Barbara Streisand compliment them they are above all song writers and proformers.

Love that song! Great reaction!

He's Scottish/English, ladies.

Cool react!. I can tell you everyone involved, just ask, but the list is long. You did really well though. Belafonte was up top. Lots of others too. There is newer version, it was re done to raise $$ for Haiti, 2010

This is music !

In those days it was considered polite to attentively sit and listen to a performer, especially on a ballad like this. Dance tunes were a different matter.

68 comeback of elvis pls😊

You really need to listen to A-ha "Sun Always Shines On TV". The video is a continuation of "Take On Me" video, with another even greater song (in my opinion).

Check this mid 80's bombshell Jam - The artist is Nancey Martinez - and the song is called "For Tonight" - horns, piano, you will not be disappointed - no one reacts to it because they don't see it!

You should know this song is about a 1 night stand.. they talk about it in a interview that was on a&e years ago

Just imagine it’s 1065 and you’re a 17 year old girl and your boyfriend is fighting in Vietnam and you heard this song. By the way one of the back up singers is here Chere. You women are great.

Did You know the are systers and wrote tis when the wore 14an 16❤🇸🇪❤

Saw them 3 times in the 70's

The pic of your parents/grandma and grandpa was a supper club

Love this reaction

17 years later during my senior year in high school back in 1988, I used to play it out loud in my car after school was over! Just wanted to show my fellow classmates that this was hip!

Single was released February, 1971

The best way to enjoy John Denver is to get all his albums sit back and enjoy

This song was written by the late great Roy Orbison. His voice was incredible and frequently referred to Operettic Rock. Linda's version is incredible too. Hard for me to choose between them, but I think maybe I'd pick Linda's version by a narrow margin.

If Brad Pitt and Otis Redding had a kid

James Ingram was one of the most underrated talents we had.. he sang 2 parts in this song may he RIP

I don't know whose idea it was to make the video for this song in this way, whoever did it deserves applause, wonderful!!

I love this song

Marc uses his finger tips. His brother uses a pick playing the second guitar.

Who watches for the first guitar chords reaction as much as when he sits down?

You need to try Mike and the Mechanics The Living Years

You should listen to the entire "Days of Future Passed" album. He gives a poem before the music begins. Each track represents a different portion that encompasses one full day, from the beginning of the day, straight through to the night.

Love❤ one of my favor

I always prefer an actor singing to a singer acting. Donna Summer’s version is very good but I prefer Harris’s especially because it’s part of the 2 great Jimmy Webb/Richard Harris albums. Jimmy Webb’s songs are always terrific.

Mark's solo stuff is good too. He always plays one of the characters in the stories he's telling. In Why Aye Man he's a brick layer finding work in Germany. In Marble Town he's a hobo who has to lay low in a cemetery to escape capture. In Baloney Again he's a black man trying to get his family cross country safely.

It’s understandable about moms interpretation of this song

Legend

Wow....

okay the female he is singing to is the same girl that left him. so she broke his heart and he doesn't want to be hurt again
