Peter, Paul & Mary did a lovely version.

[@springfieldprogressive8951]

Yes they did

[@frauleinmona]

Indeed. Their’s is my very, most favorite.😌❤️

[@Rosedach]

Johnny Rivers covered this song, also.

[@divencemoore7111]

My Dad served 2 terms in Vietnam, and even though he was one of the fortunate ones who returned, we lost him to a slow death brought on by exposure to Agent Orange. R.I.P. Dad, I miss you so much!

[@vickinoakes249]

My husband did 3 tours and I also lost him to Agent Orange. I'm sorry for your loss.

[@DawnSuttonfabfour]

We used to sing this in our assembly. We were told its the Great war? flowers were the young men lost. Adore Pete Seeger. A man full of heart. And I'm English.

[@KittenWAW]

This song came at a time when the US had been sending soldiers to fight in wars on foreign soil during the 40s, 50s and 60s. Several generations grew up affected by war in a way that hadn't happened to Americans before. It conjures a cycle of young girls picking flowers for their father's graves in WW2, then growing to young women, and perhaps picking flowers for a brother's grave during the Korean War, and finally marrying, seeing their husbands go to Viet Nam, and perhaps ultimately taking their young daughters to pick even more flowers for yet another grave. Pete wasn't "in your face" with his message, he was "in your heart."

[@2Cambourne]

Folk Rockers Extraordinaires Peter, Paul and Mary did a cover of this great Pete Seeger song "Where Have All the Flowers Gone" and took it to the top of the charts back in 1962. This was one of the greatest anti-war songs ever.

[@susanpatrick4965]

This song could be about any time, any war, not just the 1960's ! Makes me cry everytime I hear it. We need to learn!

[@filkertom]

So beautiful. For many years, Pete Seeger WAS American folk music.

[@regaustin953]

Then came Bob

[@willdwyer6782]

@@regaustin953 Pete introduced Bob at the 1964 Newport Folk Festival and then the very next year criticized him for switching to electric guitar.

[@bengilbert7655]

It starts with flowers and then the cycle begins again with flowers at the end. You could start again with “Where have all the flowers gone.”

[@thundernels]

Love that you picked Pete Seeger! I got to see him perform 20-some years ago at an advanced age. His voice was almost gone, but he had the entire venue singing together, which was his ultimate goal. Thanks, guys!

[@jealousjelly1]

Bring Tim Sommer back, please. He can give you the musical and historical background that those of us who lived through the 50s, 60s and 70s would like to offer up in our comments but are unable to provide with the same kind of authenticity. I love your earnest and sincere reaction to the music, and it's so much more rewarding when you understand the impact it had on our generation. Bless you and your family.

[@okcdog5439]

Thank you, Mr. Sommers, for such a touching tribute to Pete Seeger. My 5th grade teacher used to play guitar and taught us many of the protest songs, so I've known these songs for most of my 67 years. That you, Jay & Amber, for carrying this torch forward to younger generations.

[@LeilaBelleWarner]

I definitely relate to your wonderful school memory. My 6th grade teacher, back in the mid-60s, played the guitar and taught us lots of folk songs and protest songs, too.

[@mt0115]

Pete Seeger, a true man of conscience and commitment. His message of peace was always there as well as supporting the workers of the world. I’ve heard many versions of him singing this same song. Thanks for that. 😎🍺☮️🇨🇦

[@jackieknows9129]

Thank you Jay, Amber and Tim for reminding us of another side of Pete Seeger.

[@thecynic9232]

Pete Seeger was a folk music icon. He wrote about racial bigotry, unions and all things progressive. He (and his bandmates in The Weavers) were blacklisted during the McCarthy era. In his musical retirement he spent decades on environmental issues. I grew up up with him and I value his music greatly. Maybe listen to the songs “Talking Union” and “Which Side are You On?” 🇨🇦❤️

[@bju194422]

I was a teenager in the 60's & lost too many childhood friends in Vietnam. They were drafted as soon as they turned 18 or as soon as they graduated high school if they turned 18 in school. So many of them did not come home alive. This song brought those memories rushing back. It was a tragic time. My husband was in Vietnam & to this day will not talk about what happened over there.

[@hectorsmommy1717]

Seeger was the first to bring "Wimoweh" to a US audience although the most famous version was titled 'The Lion Sleeps Tonight". He was under the impression that it was an oral tradition in South Africa, not a song written in the 1930's by Solomon Linda. When he found out, Seeger sent money to Linda and designated that his royalties go to him also but the record company refused. Now Disney owns the rights and Linda's descendants are still getting cheated out of royalties.

[@hectorsmommy1717]

Seeger was here in Wisconsin in 2011 in support of teachers when the governor busted the union. There were constant protests at the state capitol and he led a bunch of the songs.

[@tedcole9936]

Yes, a folk song for campfires, summer camps, and concert halls. Pete Seeger led an exemplary life, the Johnny Appleseed of folk music.

[@raymondohlsen5054]

This is a song that everyone should know, and remember.

[@reddragonready]

They would..if they saw the rendition by Marlene

[@hannejeppesen1809]

@@reddragonready Marlene Dietrich singing it in German "Sag mir wo die blumen sind".

[@theblackbear211]

Would an NFL quarterback basically give up his entire career for what he believed in? Somebody like say, Colin Kaepernick? Would someone else give up their sports career and enter the military - because they thought it was the right thing to do? Like Pat Tillman? I would say - not many, but there are still a few. Mohammed Ali is definitely a hero of mine - for his moral courage.

[@thecynic9232]

Thought of Kapernick immediately. The right wing are evil.

[@rogerdodger6025]

Agree with him or not, I'd add Kanye West to the list too.

[@ragulper]

Pat Tillman changed his mind and hated the war he had joined to fight. He was killed by his own comrades. War is hell.

[@karidrgn]

I was at an event and thought about kneeling and it's a lot harder to do something different from the group than you think.

[@frauleinmona]

You can’t compare what Kaepernick did to protesting the war.

[@iancitizen6489]

Amber and Rob, thanks you for hosting Tim Sommer. I really enjoy his knowledge and wisdom. I appreciate your openness to ‘new’ music and your comments that have allowed me to understand music that I am familiar with in new ways.

[@andymageen5308]

This song was so important to my youth, it saddens me that in my later years that the line “when will they ever learn” is still so relevant today. The question has never been answered in my lifetime. ✌️

[@jeremyfagner6808]

I love Pete Seegers music. A true American music icon. One of my favorite performances of his is on The Johnny Cash show but all of his music is great

[@rosek2967]

Love, love, love Pete Seeger. And love Tim Sommer's backstories. The importance and influence of folk music has been greatly overlooked. Glad you guys are finally touching on it. Hope you delve even more deeply into some of the phenomenal singer/songwriters that came out of Greenwich Village like Tom Rush, Tim Hardin, Tom Paxton, Eric Andersen and so many others. I had a friend who went to prison rather than be drafted, another who went to Canada and another childhood friend who served in Vietnam and was a helicopter pilot who went in to get wounded soldiers. He was killed when he was only 20 years old. Thanks so much for this. And thanks again to Tim for keeping this information and these stories alive. ♥♥

[@charlesklein1497]

FINALLY! I have pleaded for Pete Seeger. If you seriously want to learn the roots of all music you need to understand where its roots come from. What we refer to "classical" music was composed by musicians who were commissioned - either by the church or royalty. The other is "folk" - songs/melodies that sprang from the "common" folk - hence "folk music." Many melodies sound familiar from one song to another. Simply - a melody would be given new lyrics. Folk Music is truly of THE PEOPLE and sung around the world. And who was the pied piper of folk music? It was Pete Seeger. It is what Pete brought to us that inspired those that inspired Elvis that inspired The Beatles. The roots start with Pete. First Seeger sand with The Alamanac Singers. Included with Pete was Woody Guthrie. Much of what you will find of them on KZbin might likely be workers songs. Following WWII, Seeger was with The Weavers. YOU CAN NOT DISMISS THE WEAVERS!!!! The Weavers who HUGE. Due to their rendition of Goodnight Irene - Sinatra then covered it. Week after week, on Your Hit Parade, was another song from The Weavers. Their first hit was Tzana Tzena. Don't listen to the English version. Listen to them singing it in Hebrew. I could go on and on about the importance of The Weavers and Pete Seeger. Also - as to Where Have All The Flowers Gone comes from a russian poem. Pete set it to music. (He also altered We WILL Overcome to We SHALL Overcome because he felt "sha;;" sounded better and the world now knows it that way.

[@markjo9626]

It started with Woody and he bought Pete along for the ride to continue the journey for all to hear.

[@arthurburkhart3710]

Kathie says… This song, although BEAUTIFUL, guts me with sadness. Along with TAPS, I cannot listen to this song without crying and praying for our fighting men past and present.

[@sarahdee374]

I just finished Pete's book of thoughts and stories "Chopping Wood" . Lots of memories for a 70 year old like myself. All his music was wonderful. I saw him live twice with Arlo Guthrie. A true showman with impeccable integrity. I can only imagine what he'd have to say during this toxic election. and thank you Tim. Some of these songs have so much more meaning when put in context.

[@Jude_196]

SO TRUE - and, SO ENVIOUS that you got to see BOTH PETE & ARLO!! Would've LOVE TO HAVE BEEN THERE!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@theblackbear211]

I love Pete Seeger and this song, thanks for reacting. Thanks to Tim for sharing his knowledge.

[@GaryCain-qf5vi]

The Draft was after me in 1971 my birthday March 6th,was number one, but luckily I was 17 and in high school, my number was 254 the next year and the last Draft call was Dec. 7, 1972 luckily I didn't get drafted 😮! "Make Love Not War" Peace✌️ and Love❤ your 70 year old forever hippie Gary?😊 folk songs My kinda music 🎶 with real Heart ❤ 😌

[@Terri.46]

So poignant how the song comes full circle. Very emotional.

[@stormy8207]

This is going way back. I haven't heard this version because it was popularized by Peter, Paul and Mary, who were huge back in the day ... yes. You are both bringing back very important music to the attention of new generations. It will have an impact on future music and it is a huge thing. It is also helping intergenerational understanding.

[@thomascanfield9165]

I recently checked out some covers of that great old song " Brother, Can You Spare A Dime" and decided Pete's performance of it with The Weavers was my favorite. He connected with the spirit of the song better than anybody, because he was so empathetic.

[@deborahwhittington2157]

Brings back memories of the Folk music era!!

[@sadfaery]

I first heard this song while I was pulled over on the side of the road in the middle of a forested part of Florida during a torrential downpour and, unbeknownst to me, tornado about a mile away, and after I heard it, I had to go out and buy the album with this on it. A few years after that, I was at my internship supervisor's home when I was in grad school, and there was a photograph of Pete Seeger sitting at her kitchen table with her kids when they were little hanging on her dining room wall. Apparently, they were friends and he would stay with her family when he was on tour in that area. He has written so many amazing hit folk songs, but I think this one is my favorite.

[@stevearmstrong1430]

If you're interested in anti-war protest songs you need to check out Arlo Guthrie's song Alice's Restaurant. The best.

[@bjw0515]

Thank you so much for bringing us these wonderful interviews and songs. Amber and Jay, you both are lights that shine bright. Much love to all of you!

[@davidhopkins4352]

Thank You.... It really is a perfect folk song, and Pete Seeger always sang from his heart. Ah, Me, this song tears me up every time. Be Well, everyone.

[@suzanneballou97]

I knew Pete Seeger and had spoken to him many times. We lived in the same town for many years before he passed. I was even a school bus driver for 2 of his grandchildren, Kitama and Maria. Great man!

Thank you Mr. Sommer. Thank you Jay and Amber. And thanks to the great Bob Seeger. Beautiful and emotional reaction today.💜

[@mkmstillstackin]

Beautiful song. A big fan since I was a kid. Appreciate the history lesson about the song and its composer.

[@secolerice]

I grew up with this song and Pete Seeger. We sang it in school. I never really thought of it as a protest song. As a history enthusiast, I see the repetition of peace and war and no one learns from history. My dad was career Army, so I have always been anti-war but pro-soldier.

[@jtudor4524]

Johnny Rivers cover of this song was outstanding. Vietnam War was a rough time for those on the home front .In one year, I had five cousins in Vietnam at the same time. One was KIA thirteen days into his tour in 1969.

[@spineynorman7378]

You may want to check out Woodie Guthrie as well. He was a contemporary of Pete Seeger and a folk singer as well.

[@paulraymond-bf8db]

Good song good reaction can't wait to see more

[@DarqJestor]

Barry McGuire's "Eve of Destruction" was a hard hitting song back in the 60s and is frighteningly apropos today. Totally worth a listen.

[@Pushindazees]

This is an amazing series. I so love how your channel has evolved, and how we've been able to watch your musical knowledge blossom.

[@bjdefilippo447]

I remember singing this. Still touches my heart every time I hear it. Thanks so much for bringing more context to it for me.

[@springfieldprogressive8951]

Man this song brings back a lot of memories for me. Thank you Jay and Amber for sharing this video with us.

[@richardmartin9565]

The great thing about Folk Songs like this was that they caused us to pause and reflect. Even after all these years, I paused and reflected.

[@remccom]

I am so glad that you have reacted to Pete , as kids growing up in the 1960's our parents would play Pete , Woody , the Seekers , I think it taught me a sense of right and wrong ,. And how to STAND up for what you know is right even if its not the popular opinion . war is wrong no mater what. My sister and I had the chance to see Pete .Arlo Guthrie & Pete Seeger 1975-07-25: Wollman Rink, Central Park, New York, NY, USA it was a great sing a long Pete taught all how to yodel during the concert , and you could hear people yodeling thru Central Park after the show !

[@jollybobo6379]

Pete got to play with Woody and with Arlo. Lucky man and friend

[@hannejeppesen1809]

In case someone does not know that would be Woody Guthrie and his son Arlo.

[@maryguy-fo2qk]

Oh Rob and Amber thank you for choosing this song best political rant song of the Vietnam era sad but true check out the Kingston Trio version also absolutely will make you weep

[@bjdefilippo447]

Good call.

[@michaelgreenfield1009]

[@wilelowman]

I do remember the "gold star mother flags" in so many windows growing up back then.

I remember singing this in summer camp. Such a beautiful song.

[@shemanic1]

When will we ever learn? Soon I hope! If not? Pete Seeger, what a legend.

[@christinewaide5249]

I love when you have him on. He’s a wealth of knowledge. Keep bringing him back.

[@wheredidthetimego8087]

We had so many young men of our generation go to war and not come home. 😢

[@BingWrosby]

I saw The Kingston Trio live in 1998 at the age of 13! I WANTED to be there, I was such a huge fan because I was raised on older music. I’ve always known their version of this, and got to see it live which brought my adolescent tough guy persona to tears.

[@cathyortiz1280]

One of the best folk "anti-war" songs! I esp love "Peter, Paul & Mary's" version of this song even more than the original. But Pete Seegar was a wonderful singer/song writer who really got the audience into singing the songs too. We used sing this song around the camp fire at Methodist Youth Camps. My dad was a Methodist Minister.

[@howardhales6325]

I have heard this song 43 million times, so why do I still tear up at the end?

[@philipr1567]

So do I. It's because this song is so heartbreaking. For me, it's because the song circles back to the beginning (flowers) and I start to feel hopeless that things can be changed for the better. But then I listen to "We Shall Overcome" and I become hopeful again.

[@Gloren50]

I thank you so much for showcasing some of the protest songs of the 1960s. Even those of us who went to Vietnam, most of us understood the problem and we understood what Pete Seeger was telling us. My experiences in the military in the 1960s pretty much radicalized me and I joined the Vietnam Vets Against the War when I came home. My experience led me to study US History, and I focused on 20th century international relations. In learning the truth of US involvement in that war, how we got involved and why, it made many of us even angrier about being so abused. I finally got over it, once I understood the scope and sequence of US History through the 20th century, the reality behind the Cold War, and the really unfortunate mistake in fighting that war. I'm no longer angry, but I still feel a disappointment in my country. But no country is perfect, and in spite of the mythology and propaganda handed to us when i was young, I was never again a 'believer'. I developed a more realistic view of my country and its many flaws, but also an appreciation for the American people in their resistance to the war and the government propaganda. The folk singers and some of the pop and rock musicians of the period gave voice in so many ways to the resistance and it helped bring the war to an end. For that, we all have to be grateful. So, for younger generations who are hearing for the first time singer song writers like Phil Ochs and Pete Seeger, pay close attention. You just might learn something very worthwhile.

[@KenRoerden]

Thank you for bringing this song Tim. Another great pick. There are so many versions out there. The Kingston Trio did a good one. Marlene Dietrich did it very well in German and English. Peter, Paul & Mary did the version I heard most. It was faster and more upbeat. This is how it should be done. Thank you for your reaction Jay and Amber. Pete Seeger was amazing. He was a powerful voice for good for many decades. Listen to Which Side Are You On? and Waist Deep In The Big Muddy. He was blacklisted in the 50s with the rest of The Weavers. They had so many great songs. Check out Kisses Sweeter Than Wine and Goodnight Irene, two of their most popular songs. Then dig deeper with Dark As A Dungeon and Wasn't That A Time. Folk music is a deep rabbit hole.

[@armandogarza6181]

I'm really enjoying these videos, especially the ones with Tim. We should all remember Pete Seeger, great human being.

[@raquelgear-dp2qf]

You two do important work, what a blessing to have Tim Sommer give the backstory ✌️ y'all

[@MisterWondrous]

I saw and heard Pete Seeger at a Central Park anti-nuke rally on June 12, 1982. The event drew an estimated crowd of over a million people, making it the largest disarmament rally in American history. The all-star lineup of classic rock artists included Bruce Springsteen, James Taylor, Jackson Browne, Linda Ronstadt and protest movement veteran Joan Baez. The problem was that they were so far away, they all looked like ants. But so did we. A million people is a lot. Pete is the grandfather of much of what is good in the history of American music and culture.

[@snipchick]

Really enjoying Tim's visits and insights. So many memories of these songs and the awareness they brought in my youth. Music can change the world and bring us together.

[@gmxkey]

Just wow! I was literally excused from the draft by 6 months... it was repealed and as a matter of conscience I was going to bow out. Didn't have to make that choice in the end. I have sung this and other folk songs all my life. They are something to cling to it difficult times. Thanks for all you do... particularly sharing your discovery with us.

[@luckyskittles8976]

Loved Pete Seger and when he was with the group the Weavers. I've always enjoyed the folk groups , Kingston Trio, Weavers, Peter Paul and Mary and more, it was often common for the audience to join in with their singing.

[@christianmattison6096]

Our involvement in that war lasted from just before I started Kindergarten to a couple of months after I graduated from high school. I spent my entire childhood and youth contemplating the possibility of being sent. I remember upperclassmen who went and came back forever altered. This song weighed heavily on all of our hearts. It still caused my heart to weep.

[@JennLynnTarot]

Tim Sommer's is so thought provoking and knowledgeable. Thank you for another brilliant reaction ❤❤❤

[@davidwolf4677]

I met Pete Seeger more than 40 years ago, on the lawn of a small college where he just showed up and started singing! I believe he also popularized the singing of “We Shall Overcome” during the civil rights struggle in the late 1950s and early 1960s.

[@Jude_196]

YES!!! GREAT SUGGESTION, TIM!!! YOU are ON IT, MAN!!! I learned this song when I was very young - before I truly knew all it meant - but, when I got old enough to realize the lyrics were SO important....it made a GREAT impact on me. THANKS, TIM, for suggesting this one! I haven't watched, yet - but, I'm sure Jay & Amber will appreciate this one!! HUGS TO ALL! ...and, THANKS for being on this series, Tim - and, for Jay & Amber for initiating these wonderful and informative sessions!! Going from flowers to flowers.....mmmm....

[@hannejeppesen1809]

I love Pete Seeger. I became aware of Pete in my native Denmark as a teenager. I have about 4 or 5 LP's with him, and one with Pete and Arlo Guthrie. I saw Pete in concert twice in the seventies, once with Arlo Guthrie. I hope you will listen to other Pete Seeger songs "We shall Overcome" Freedom, In Back of the bus, What did you learn in School today, many others.

[@Rob_Baker1962]

A song it's impossible to forget (but who would want to). Simon and Garfunkel had some good protest songs on their first album ("Wednesday Morning, 3AM"). Please do reactions to: "The Sun is Burning" (kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6XXqKiphtemepY) "Last Night I Had the Strangest Dream" (kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2mWqZmCfdGDhrM) "He Was My Brother" (kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4Kti6N9acpjqqM) Listen very carefully to the lyrics - especially on "The Sun Is Burning," since it would be easy to miss the most impactful part if you pause in the wrong place without rewinding a bit. As with many of the songs on "Wednesday Morning, 3AM," these were covers and not actually written by Simon or Garfunkel, but they do (of course) an amazing job of making them very memorable.

[@Rob_Baker1962]

A little different, but still very good, one from the 70s: "Billy Don't Be a Hero" by Bo Donaldson and the Heywoods (kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5vMnaqKiqx4a8k)

My personal favorite version is the Kingston Trio's version. To this day, the story relates the full circle of life, and I have to fight crying. Pete Seeger trivia - in the 1930's Pete seeger, Will Geer (Grandpa from The Waltons TV show) and Woody Guthrie would hobo together from town to town on the trains, etc.

This is one of the "IT" anti-war songs of the Vietnam war - my dad & my husband both served there - they both knew this song!!!! the song was written after the Korean War & we lost way too many young men there also.
