Dam this takes me back - in my 70's now and this brings a tear to my eye; how youth is lost on the young! My mind is still young, my memories fresh, the body is weak. Joan was so inspiring and her voice was like that of an angel. thank you for the wonderful memories.

[@willdwyer6782]

A lot of Joan's early folk music recordings were of Child ballads, a collection of over 300 English and Scottish traditional ballads and their American variants that were anthologized by Francis James Child in the latter half of the nineteenth century. Her mother was born in Scotland and her father in Mexico, so she heard a lot of European and Latin American folk music in her youth.

[@emwali2154]

The song was written by railway construction workers and became a folk sensation. It came to limelight in the music industry with the original covers later... However, the beauty of the song is not just in the haunting melody but the 500 miles symbolizes so much more than just a journey it a place away from home.. It's the loss and sadness if being separated from the supreme being... It is an echo of the pain every person feels when away from home. It is a song that invariably, particularly with Joan's voice accompanied with her shy smile never fails to bring tears... That that are a mix of sadness and of beauty at the same time, of longing and melancholy along with hope at the same time...Joan, you're so beautiful and your singing so angelic that I can just feel blessed seeing and hearing you. You're cleared and thank you for blessing is with your renditions..

[@realperson6201]

Hedy West wrote this song... I learned it from my amazing girl scout camp leaders... already a folk song. Look her up, she is the real deal. Joanie's voice is pure gold.

[@RobertEmmettHenry]

Thank you for sharing this background, Em. It helps me understand just why this song, out of all the countless ones I saw in concert during the 60s, is such a standout ... for its honesty and purity of integrity. It indeed speaks to the universal human condition, of yearning for our Heavenly home! This is a classic - and you've helped me know why! Bravo and thank you!!!

[@tingowealeans5712]

'a mix of sadness and of beauty at the same time, of longing and melancholy along with hope at the same time' spot on, all the best music has this factor imo, and there's a lot of it to be found in renditions of country, blues and other folk music

My dad used to sing this to me as a kid. He was really young when he left his parents to study abroad before he and my mom brought our family to the US and I remember as a kid thinking that my dad wrote this song because of how much he would sing it and how it related to his life that he would tell us about any chance he got. This song really brings back memories that I nearly forgot and I’m sure my dad will eventually forget too but for now I’m glad we got to share memories this song brings us.

@@harleyquiinnnn I try my best to explain. In those tough times (1960s'), folk songs were "good medicine" for the souls of people. To my knowledge, she, Joan Baez, was one of the “ stars" at that time. "Her contemporary folk music often includes songs of protest or social justice." (quoted from the web). Still, she cares about her country for the present time. I don't know whether there is anyone like her in the “ singing industry worldwide" nowadays. So, I said she was the gift for the generation of 1960s.

Beautifully delivered with a great vocal presentation and depth of meaning for all to reach a high level of appreciation so well deserved. Hurray

When I first came west in the late 70's I was enraptured by her and her angelic voice. I had been robbed of my heritage by the Ottawa cabale . and had no where to turrn so I came to Alberta. It was the beginning of new life for me and over the ensuing years I have learned what it means to be "Albertan". These creeps back East have no understanding of what the West is all about . They will never know, but they wil try to kill us because they do not understand. "Independence , Alberta's only hope."

I'm couldn't content my tears.... wow. My aunt used to sing me this exact version as a lullaby when I couldn't sleep... I'm so glad I found this again

Used to live abroad for 14 yrs. I’m back in my beautiful country and came back to life. No loneliness is too small!

Just turned 62 a few weeks ago, I feel like getting younger and younger...which you could see being a positive aspect of one's own life: the older your body gets, the younger your spirit you feel; they say that growing old is like being a child again but then why is everyone afraid to get old? No, in truth it is not aging that is scary but it is senility. I’ve never met senile old men, while, contrary to this, I have known many adults who remained irreversibly children.

My goodness, i just love Joan.... So beautiful, so full of grace and compassion...i wish i had known a woman like her in my life... Bless you Joan for sharing your music with us all... Love

[@Susie196921]

Joan Baez will always be the reigning queen of folk music! A voice that was made in heaven!

[@bellpraise]

the sound of the guitar is quite well matched with Joan's songs which is so beautiful,pure and innocent

[@XmanSully]

Joan Baez is a rare occasion in the history of the entire span of recorded musical history. Her duet with the late great Marcedes Sosa, singing Gracias a la Vida is an amazing voice battle between to giants.

[@konijaya]

This song has soul and says so many things in few lines. Her voice is angelic and melancholic. I cant stop playing it again and again.

[@Ace1King1]

The perfect voice for her generation. I idolized this woman in the sixties. I can't think of anyone today who captures the spirit of the times as she did.

[@stevena3333]

If you miss the train I'm on you will know that I am gone You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles, A hundred miles, A hundred miles, a hundred miles, a hundred miles you could hear the whistle blow a hundred miles. Lord I'm one, lord I'm two, lord I'm three, lord I'm four Lord I'm 500 miles from my home 500 miles, 500 miles, 500 miles, 500 miles Lord I'm 500 miles from my home Not a shirt on my back, not a penny to my name Lord I can't go on this a-way This a-way This a-way This a-way This a-way Lord I can't go on this a-way If you miss the train I'm on, you will know that I am gone You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles A hundred miles A hundred miles A hundred miles A hundred miles You could hear the whistle blow a hundred miles

I've been a fan of Ms. Baez for 60 years. I remember how she started out singing traditional folk songs. This is one of my favorite songs by her, the haunting quality of her voice is just perfect!!

[@Socratez7]

Just realized that One of the most popular Indian film songs (and a personal fav) from the 1970s (Jab Koi Baat) was based entirely on this melody. Joan and The Journeymen made the lives of a billion South Asians better without either side knowing it.

[@taimoorahmed_507]

Or the thieves stole her melody with just one side knowing it. Let's not mellow down the habitual theft of melodies.

[@eleet321]

@@taimoorahmed_507 exactly what I was going to say. It's not 'based' or 'inspired', it's simply stolen unless they got a license to cover the song.

[@CandyLovekirtinder]

And I thought that itz there original melody 🙄 why they always stealing others music/melody 😡 #bullywood😡

[@rishi_6266]

Shameless Urduwood never had originality.... it's industry is based on cheating and dishonesty and never on originality and hence it is getting its ass kicked massively today. I am loving the Jihadi influenced eco system is being smashed...

[@irenemiku929]

They stole the Singapore national song too. "Count on me Singapore".

[@tundratiger9473]

I was born in Korea and live in the US. The more I'm getting older the more I'm having homesick of Korea. The village I was born and grew up, friends, mountains, rivers, skies.... I am not 500miles, not 5000 miles, 10000 miles away from home. I love this song so much.

Joan Baez - composer of the "Song of Bangladesh" in 1971. After the second independence of Bangladesh in 2024, we remember her, again!

[@forestpepper3621]

Early in their relationship, in the 1960's, my parents would go on dates to cafe's to hear folk music like this, years before I was born. After my mom died in 2008, I was visiting my dad, and we went to a cafe where he and mom used to go to hear such folk music, and there was still live music for the diners. But it wasn't the peaceful, soulful music, like Joan Baez's singing here, the kind of folk music my parents enjoyed in their younger years. Rather, it was some angry contemporary rock band, with loud drums, and the speakers blasting the angry songs at an unnaturally loud volume. I think my dad had entered the cafe hoping to relive some of his memories of his early romance with my mom, but the music was just all wrong; it was music that was alien to my dad, and I felt bad for him. We didn't stay long at the cafe. I'm not condemning contemporary rock music; I'm just recalling a poignant moment with my dad, may he rest in peace.

[@piafist]

I see these words to 500 miles as the growing apart of two people from what was once a beautiful relationship. Intensely moving.

[@janwilliams579]

Made me cry when I heard it decades ago. Still does.

[@edelweiss-nh8si]

My father used to play this song on his guitar and sing along. It is so poignant and beautiful.

[@claudettepreisinger]

Boy, she has some voice, huh? I remember a friend once saying you can almost "taste" her voice. I agree...

[@MrSteppenwolfe]

+flip benzoni Well I'm walking down this track I've got tears in my eyes. Trying to read a letter from my home. And if this train runs me right I'll be home next Saturday night Now I'm 500 miles away from home.

[@rajesh_shrestha]

and making shit music that everyone loves so sad feelings for this kind of music they never know what is music to be loved and felt like :'(

[@corralesCR]

I wouldn't call it "improved"

[@gim1239]

And lyrics that really mean something

[@maxd3783]

1965 : suits 2021 : rappers with tattoos and making minor girls dance in the back

[@Whateverwhocares22]

This has gotta be the best version I’ve ever heard, and that is saying something

[@AlexKarel-bh3yy]

I found that too.

[@memaseven]

Thank-you so much for uploading this song...the first one I learned on guitar in the summer of 1962....escaped from NY to CA....Just call me an "old folkie"!!
