[@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.

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!!!

'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

[@sanoiro]

The tone of her voice and appearance reminds me a lot of my mother. She loved that song and she was... tone-deaf, not that she would ever admit that. Once she was a teen living under a dictatorship, attending an American HS -where she probably listened to this song for the first time-, and then going abroad for uni. So yeah.. she loved that song...

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.

I found that too.

Heard this song 50 years ago. Today hearing it again (the LPs, CDs, DVDs are long gone). Baez is as beautiful and relevant, maybe more, than ever. Proof of the everlasting presence of how we feel and express from the heart. Joan, may you and your songs live forever in the hearts of humankind.

it's fathers day... joan baez was my fathers favorite musician. when i started playing the guitar, he always told me how she taught herself. he died of cancer 4 years ago, when i was 15. now i'm twenty. i can't buy my father a "best dad" mug today but i can listen to this and think of him

[@Al29-t3t]

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.

[@kashmirart1801]

[@charlesmoseley6145]

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."

[@derrickhowlettDQ]

What an ethereal voice with that divine shimmer!! :) Yes, I had a crush on her in my college days (1960s), and I fulfilled a lifetime desire to see and hear her in person just a few years ago. I love that other-worldly gaze and the sincerity of her singing. Brave and determined, she was in Hanoi with the Friends Service Organization making humanitarian peace efforts during American bombing of that city. Nothing "phoney" about "Joanie!" Outspoken and controversial, to be sure, but still admired by many of us who were - and are - captivated by her music :) :)

[@wb7ptr]

People criticise her sometimes, but I've been a fan a LONG time. Since the 1960's. She's one of the activists who's sincere about her beliefs and does not take sides. She simply wants the violence, war, torture, etc. to STOP and that's it.

scorpion19142001 You might be right ... but if we ALL want peace, how come so many people are torturing and killing others? Are we humans so dumb we'll succumb?? :( I once heard: "What if somebody threw a war and nobody came???" Folks like Joanie never give up because we believe that humans can learn their lessons in time to save the world [We might need it later! :)] :)

Her version is the best, but Elvis Presley version is also touching and special! There is actually only an improvised home version of it, which makes it even more amazing

[@alexcawthorne811]

Joan's voice is heavenly one of the most beautiful but also please listen to the version of the song by The Seekers the Australian folk band. The late Judith Durham, RIP, has an incredible voice and does a beautiful version which for me is the best. I don't actually think there's a bad version it's such a beautiful song ❤

[@jimg9003]

@@alexcawthorne811 Absolutely, Alex. Always loved Judith, a pin up from my youth, but only really recall her from the chart hits. Never heard her sing this, but not a doubt she'd do it superbly, I'll dig it out, thanks for the heads up. Fab version of I am an Australian on here too by the Seekers.

[@alexcawthorne811]

@@jimg9003 oh I've heard her sing I am an Australian even as a "Pommie" it makes the hairs stand up on the back of my neck. I don't know what it is about Australian songs but they are always very moving and emotional - Judith will be sorely missed by many but she left us so many wonderful songs and memories.

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"!!

[@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.

[@hickoryham2725]

My uncle sold his guitar to the woman who wrote this song, Hedy West, back in the day. Makes it even cooler for me to listen to this great tune.
