The Brothers Four - Greenfields (Campfire 8)

For the first time in perhaps 50 years, with Greenfields, the Brothers Four simply sing with cameras rolling.
LYRICS:
Once there were greenfields kissed by the sun;
Once there were valleys where rivers used to run;
Once there was blue sky with white clouds high above;
Once they were part of an everlasting love.
We were the lovers who strolled through greenfields.
Greenfields are gone now, parched by the sun;
Gone from the valleys where rivers used to run;
Gone with the cold wind that swept into my heart;
Gone with the lovers who let their dreams depart.
Where are the greenfields that we used to roam?
I'll never know what made you run away.
How can I keep searching when dark clouds hide the day?
I only know there's nothing here for me,
Nothing in this wide world left for me to see.
But I'll keep on waitin' 'til you return.
I'll keep on waiting until the day you learn
You can't be happy while your heart's on the roam.
You can't be happy until you bring it home,
Home to the greenfields and me once again.
Mark Pearson has been a part of The Brothers Four since 1968.

As I listen to this song That I reminded me of My old day ,beautiful song.

[@jeannetrangata]

My father passed away from brain cancer, in 2009 (at the age of 63). He was born and raised in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico. I never met a person with such a diverse flavor for music. He loved Tango, boleros, rock and roll, jazz, American honkey tonk, just to mention a few genres. One of his favorite songs was Greenfields by The Brothers Four. He would sing it to me, as a child. Just listening to this beautiful song, brings me close to him. Thank you for sharing.

[@retchildallegaria7047]

My Father's favorite song,,,, We terribly missed you, Tatay,,,

[@fongchanwalsh5496]

My husband used to be a DJ in BKK Thailand years ago and he played me this song all the time and I am in love with this song until now. I am now 70 years old. My husband is an Australian and I am Thai. He’s now somewhere that I can’t reach him anymore. When someone post this song….my heart is aching……but I’ll keep going….

[@davidgoodsell973]

[@YoTambienFuiUnSerHumano]

Hi (excuse my poor english) but I have to said something here... I'm from Guayaquil-Ecuador (South America) I have 58 now... When I was a boy, every year after finishing school, my father would take my mother and her 8 children to vacation for 3 months to the beach ... and every year on those trips my father sang this song while he was driving his old Ford Lane '68 I guess (as well as: The Windmills Of Your Smile, Doris Day's Que Sera Sera) Throughout my life whenever I listen to it it is impossible to stop the tears in my eyes ... Thanks for share this beautiful and incredible video! Blessings

[@beatrizgutierrez9558]

One of the favorite songs of my father. The first time he listened to this song, he was driving, immediately he went to the music store and bought the record. Sadly he passed away 5 years ago , but anytime I listen to this song, it brings me close to him😢

[@amcgraw1970]

The beauty of music is the Brothers Four

[@eileenjones3832]

[@ShadowMage3D]

My mother was a huge fan of the Brothers Four. Now I listen to remember her.

[@임병렬-t5j]

내가 세상에 태어나서 대중음악이나 팝이나간에 최초로 첫소절부터 끝까지 부를 수있었 곡.그린 휠.60년이 훨씬 지난 지금,그때의 나는 중학생.일본 공연에 처음 부라더스 훠를 보았읍니다.감개무량.

[@jjdonohoo]

Favorite genre of music from early 60s and I am no 78 years old!!

[@MinoruMikeAoki]

What a wonderful song sounds to my ears in 2018. I used to listened to this music some 40~50 years ago in New York City where I have lived for 18 years. I'm back in Japan now where I was born in 1936. Needless to say, there have happened many things, good and bad, and terrible, in my life of 82 years. But at least, I had a chance to listen to especially American and British good music.

[@vanessamacias6712]

The songs from the 60/70/ even before have beautiful música the script the message the way there sings my God even are amazing God blessed the Four Brothers

[@criseldacayobit6906]

[@johnsistorias4832]

I am 52 ..learned to love this song from constant listening ..over the radio. Most of all, i'ts my father's favorite and we brothers, used to play it.

[@kashmirart1801]

You are making me cry, Brothers Four. You are making me weep...

[@deankolbi3291]

I wish a long life and health for wonderful veteran performers. For 61 years I hear and listen this wonderful song (9-70 age).

[@pattylomas8323]

I also cry every time I listen to this song, it reminds me when I was driving from California to Michigan when I was going to marry my husband,RIP; and I close my eyes& picture our trip together him driving telling me all kinds of beautiful stories. It's so vivid in my ❤; I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU CHARLIE LOMAS. YOU ARE IN MY HEART.

[@MarkPearsonMusic]

We are honored to be a small part of your wonderful story. Thank you for listening and for sharing.

[@garyberg8072]

God bless The Brothers Four and I thank God their music was part of my childhood and still echoes through my soul.

[@marilynchallis5787]

So many hopes and dreams invested in the 1960’s … I was 16 when this song came out. So poignant, so beautiful🌈

[@snowwhite2951]

EXCELLENCE for Green fields by the Brothers four.

[@anaabendroth3460]

This song has stuck with me from childhood to present day. It is absolutely timeless. A perfect blend of melody and harmony. Bless you guys !

[@fullplate100]

Can you imagine a 5 yr. old listening to this song on the radio? Don't ask! I DID! And I loved it!!

[@PC-dc1kv]

Me too. I was about 4 years old and we had this on a 45 single. My sister pl it on her little record player. I’ve always loved it 😍 and will until my dying day.

[@rosi4227]

They only remind us of the good times of our lives.Dislikes are from those who have not yet learned to love!

[@joswhe]

This song touches my heart strongly, because it reminds me of my childhood, just like in green fields, blue skies and that indescribable love of my parents. Thumb up for who shared, MARK !!!!

@@elishalev7103 This song caresses the soul, from the music to the lyrics; my heart shudders listening to it.

[@williamdarling3993]

I have loved that song for 60+ years and still do. A classy performance of a song written for the movie , The Alamo. Thank you, Brothers Four. Please keep us remembering when music was memorable and worthy of hearing over and over.

[@robertsteele9941]

I love this song too but it was not the one written for the movie... that was "The Green Leaves of Summer" which was sung by The Brothers Four and which received an Oscar nomination. Both songs are beautiful and remind me of growing up... 🙂

[@jeremejereme7728]

A favorite song of my deceased father ❤

[@jaimeveintimillau.2875]

A VERY, VERY GOOD WORK.- THIS BEAUTIFUL SONG PULLS UP MY HEART BECAUSE I REMEMBER WHEN I WAS 12 YEARS OLD, MY GOLDEN YOUTH BEGINNING. THE UNFORGETABLE PART OF MY LIFE. IT IS 58 EIGHT YEARS AGO, LIKE IF IT HAD BE IN LAST SEPTEMBER.- THIS IS MY PREFERED SON FOR EVER & EVER.

[@rajandavid]

This song reminds me of the love between my mom and dad in the 70s. She was a stroke patient and he was a government officer. We all grew up under this condition. I suddenly woke up in the middle of the night with this song playing somewhere in my mind

[@bytom57]

One of the most soul touching tunes...thanks guys JJ

[@johnmuliyil8170]

Fast forward to 1975. I was managing a hotel that had a Vegas style club. Two groups were playing & one of the original Brother’s Four was a Roadie for one of the groups. What a fall from fame.

[@MINHWEBSTER]

I first listened to this super romantic melody when I was in those last highschool years (1986-1989) and now I am 50. Still feel the same.

[@김성민-f7t2m]

The song was my brother's favorite song. I missed him who passed away 20 years ago.

[@ivonemesas7271]

After so many years, now I can have the most lovey songs of The Brothers Four in my own computer and in my home. You can't imagine my happiness about this.

שיר מרגש במיוחד. זוכר ששמעתי אותו בנעורי.. כאשר הייתי מרותק למיטה כחודש ימים עקב שבר ברגל. השיר הושמע ברדיו בתדירות גבוהה, ממש התאהבתי במילים ובבצוע.

This song is full of stories in my youth. It touches my whole being . Those were the days where we just run in the grass, play hide and seek under moonlight, picnics under a favorate tree,. I am missing those moments(crying...) now that we are on our 60's all I do is relate those moments thinking they would not come back. The consolations I get is when this song plays on my iPod I see my youth. I love these guys The Brothers Four especially the second to the left. I dearly love him for some good reasons.
