The Cascades-The Last Leaf

[@KarlBean-pb9zf]

Great tune from 1963. I was a senior at Georgetown and this brings back a ton of fond memories.

[@anthonyperrin3411]

Fantastic music. Love them. X.

[@RayTay1951]

The Cascades have many good songs. This is my absolute favourite. Lead singer has a marvellous voice.

[@Ecohort8]

One of my favorite Cascades songs. Brings college days memories in late mid 60s.

[@hollyjjones2973]

I usually play the Cascades Rhythm Of The Rain, which I love very much. I have never heard this song The Last Leaf and thank you for sharing it.

[@LegumesEtFleurs]

I think I am having a mid-life crisis. I am missing all those beautiful songs I grew up with. I used to listen to this song, in the afternoon, when the wind was blowing and I was taking a nap in the balcony of our house. My young days were full of thee beautiful and meaningful music.

[@ytgrf9228]

same my grandfather used to always play this kind of song every afternoon

[@barrygioportmorien1]

Yes, I echo your sentiments.

[@kelp_pelk]

this song got me through depression. It helped me fly away into the night. It never gave up on me. It never let me down. It never deserted me

[@stevensmith8666]

Songs are loyal friends that way.

My dad loved this song. When I was young, I remember him playing this all the time that I memorized the whole song when I was six. My parents are divorced now, and I never get to see him again. My mother and I were the ones who initiated the divorce, though. He seems to have lost it and started to hurt my mom. I don't like him as much as I did before now. But I hope that wherever he is, he's doing okay. I still respect him, but I can never look up to him the way I did when I was young. Hearing this song makes me feel so nostalgic.

[@captjeano]

i felt so sad for you , well , we are the same....

[@mizpahyanson7215]

my dad loves this song too...brings me back to my childhood

[@wareidav]

You do right by remembering your dad this way... However, don't feel bad about instigating the departure of a violent man... You and your mother deserve so much better than that.

[@AMYtv922]

Well, I love this song. I am so young but I like old songs coz I think they are just authentic and irreplaceable.

[@stevegross8563]

Yeah, I ALWAYS like songs like this!

My grandma loves the cascades so does my mother they play old music every Sunday and hear this. It was really nostalgic since grandma has it as her own ringtone. It reminds me of beautiful green fields since I was a kid

[@anmarsvlog1983]

This song played during my fathers burial last week since this is one of his fave cascade song…i missed him so much❤️❤️

[@louorlando1023]

Nikolai: Sorry for your loss.

[@jefferymcavery8107]

Bless him ♥️🙏

[@kystars]

Hi Nikolai Alyssa , I am sorry for your loss. I will say a prayer for him and you. I lost my mother, I know the hurt. it will take time, but you will get better. Prayers to you and for you now... Dear Jesus in heaven, please help Nikoli get over his or her loss. and let his or her grieving go away and just be left with happy memories. Amen

I miss my father too this is one of his playlist before

[@edmundmendoza2765]

I first heard cascade music at my aunts house when she was listening to them, way back in the year 1979. And since then I fell in love with their music. Up to now cascade is still one of my favorite group singers. At that time they are only a rising star but already captured millions of hearts. But because of that tragic accident that took all their lives together at the same time they never made to the top, but for me they made it more than that because up to now they keep on capturing on millions of young ones heart. Thank you ksabond for bringing back their memories. May the good Lord bring them a nice place in heaven. Who knows maybe they keep on singing there too.

[@nack3218]

That tragic accident was nothing but a hoax . They were NOT all killed in a plane - crash .

[@barrygioportmorien1]

One of the greatest recording groups.

[@bond0077]

it always brings me to tear when i hear such beautiful songs of Cascades. I remember the old good days.

[@charmainedesilva4995]

[@jekiwe]

John Gummoe had such a pleasant voice....smooth....gentle. thnks to the Cascades for giving us so many good songs in the 60's.

Kung pkinggan natin ang kanilang background ng knilang awitin parang may hangin na sumasabay.Yan ang ikinagaganda ng knilang kanta.

[@willdrucker4291]

This classic song was based on the 1903 short story by O Henry....rumor has it that the songwriter got the idea from watching the 1952 film which told Several of Mr. O Henry's short stories, including "The Last Leaf".....just beautiful...

[@raestephen242]

Whenever i heard this song it makes me feel that im old and life is to short. But before that happens I'll make sure that I'm gonna show my families and friends that i love them so much and cherish them. Im 27 Btw

[@barrygioportmorien1]

Very nice thoughts.

[@barrygioportmorien1]

[@johnnypastrana6727]

Growing up in America during the 1960s I never heard this song played then or later on oldies' stations. While in the Philippines, I heard this song on the radio...imagine that? I love it a lot...

The last leaf clings to the bough Just one leaf, that's all there is now And my last hope live with that lonely leaf, lonely leaf With the last leaf that clings to the bough Last summer beneath this tree My love said she'd come back to me Before the leaves of autumn touched the ground, touched the ground My love promised she's be homeward bound Then one by one the leaves began to fall And now that winter's come to call The last leaf that clings to the bough Just one leaf, that's all there is now Will my last hope fall with that lonely leaf, lonely leaf With the last leaf, the last leaf With the last leaf that clings to the bough Bough, bough, bough

Haven't heard this this 1974. Had it on the flip side of RHYTHM OF THE RAIN. 45 rpm

[@blackdog151]

+alicein ChainsLS4 me too

[@cbak12sg]

alicein ChainsLS4 This was the follow up to Rhythm of the Rain. It might even have been a double A side with Shy Girl in 1963.

[@inojnashville9228]

Eveytime I heard the cascades song I remember my father before he really love to sing a cascades song.

[@yusufganardisutikno1370]

the sound of the blowing wind on the background awfully builds the scene and our imagination that something is happening to the tree in an open valley

[@4drorphan]

Have always been disappointed this B side was never given a chance to be heard. R.O.T.R. was a great song, but this will always remain my favorite.

This song never dies

[@edgarmadrid51]

The younger generation don't care about the legend behind "The Last Leaf". A struggling failed painter lives in the ground level apartment. An over educated spoiled rich beautiful lady lived in the 2nd floor. Both of them were lonely and felt something was lacking in their lives. In the late part of autumn she felt sick. Lying in her bed she looked at the 3 leaves clinging to the vine in the lonely tree just outside her window. Every day one leaf falls and the day came that just one lonely leaf was left clinging to the vine. She told her parents and her nanny that when the last leaf falls to the ground she will die. The parents and the nanny were very worried. The painter overheard them. That night there was a storm and for sure that last leaf must have fallen. But in the morning when the nanny open the window the leaf was still there clinging to the vine. So the lady didn't die. After a few days she was very well. Then they found out that the lonely leaf and the tree in the window were just actually paintings since the real tree have fallen down during the storm. It was so real. It was the failed painter's greatest master piece. Well the story went on and the lady wanted to meet the painter. But sadly the painter died that same night when he struggled to hang his painting at her window in the middle of the wild raging storm. So she cried, "anguish is bitter than the passing of two hearts that never knew each other".
