The Four Seasons - Opus 17 (Don't You Worry 'Bout Me) (Official Audio)

[@AlexanderEnder]

The Four Seasons had so many hits, but this is my favorite song of theirs. The key changes give it such an intensity.

Agreed, its a banger

This song & "Let's Hang On" are, for me, the best of the Four Season. Both have great arrangements & great performances. Those were the days, my friends.

[@andrewgreener]

As catchy tunes go, they dont get more contagious than this.

[@susankennedy5739]

Such an interesting piece -- the march-like character with accents on every quarter note. I can imagine the school band playing this when they are parading down Main Street, EXCEPT, as others have pointed out, the mounting tension with the upward modulations. And OMG when Vallie hits that "I'll, be strong..." toward the end in his high falsetto. Quite a piece!

[@alanjohnson8479]

there's nothing like a good old upward modulation

[@Nestor123057]

SO amazing how Frankie just seamlessly joins in the chorus with that powerful falsetto for the "I'll be strong/try to carry on..." parts!!! Just listened to this song like 10 times in a row. Cuing up the 11th...

Lyrics: I can see There ain't no room for me You're only holdin' up your heart in sympathy If there's another man Then girl I understand Go on and take his hand And don't you worry 'bout me I'll be blue And I'll be cryin' too But girl you know I only want what's best for you What good is all my pride If our true love has died Go on and be his bride And don't you worry 'bout me I'll be strong I'll try to carry on Although you know it won't be easy when your gone I'll always think of you The tender love we knew But somehow I'll get through So don't you worry 'bout me Oo, baby Sweetie pie Before you say goodbye Remember if he ever leaves you high and dry Don't cry alone in pain Don't ever feel ashamed If you want me again Just don't you worry 'bout me I love you No matter what you do I'll spend my whole life waitin' if you want me too And if this is goodbye You know I'd rather die Than let you see me cry 'Cause then you'd worry 'bout me I'll be strong I'll try to carry on Although you know it won't be easy when your gone I'll always think of you The tender love we knew But somehow I'll get through So don't you worry 'bout me I'll be strong I'll try to carry on Although you know it won't be easy when your gone I'll always think of you The tender love we knew But somehow I'll get through So don't you worry 'bout me

Great song of an unselfish love. One of those greats of the past, and a vrey meaningful one. I have liked it during the last 54 years.

[@gerrywagstaff8609]

Even on the crap speakers at Tottenham Royale in the 60's this was one of the best records ever. Great memories of that time.

[@aztecwarrior1421]

Reminds me of my 6 grade crush. Differal Elementary, Oxnard Ca. Tresa D. She will never know how much i admired her. I was to shy lol

[@souldeep69]

When I was real young and didn't know anything technical about music, the fascination this song held for me was its continuing rise in intensity and excitement, even though they were singing the same words and music - "I'll be strong/I'll try to carry on..." Was it the arrangement, more emotion in their voices, different harmonizing? All I knew was it definitely intensified, and as a budding songwriter I wondered if just simple repetition could do that with a building arrangement. It can - check out The Cars' "Dangerous Type", but that's not what was happening here. I found out they were changing keys upward a half step, called a chromatic key change, and it's done FIVE times in this song. So the intensity I felt was largely due to those key changes, strategically placed by composer Denny Randell, lending some credence to the classical reference of the song title, and handled beautifully by all the singers. "Opus 17" is tied with "Mack the Knife" for the most chromatic changes in a hit pop song at five according to many references on and off the Internet. Anyway it's a great song, another in my beloved "happy music with sad lyrics" category, and I'll never get tired of it!

[@3kingkool]

Excellent analysis

[@hibob418]

I thought so too, and then I remembered Tommy Roe's #1 hit from '69 which goes through 11 apparent key changes. Same idea, repetition being pushed forward by modulation.

[@donaldmacdonald7217]

J S Bach to me :-)

[@joemartinez2739]

Yea, these old songs had a way of making you think about the lyrics being sung.

[@douglasj.arcuri1370]

Yes.A Great Composition which starts in F# Major and Modulates up to B Major increasingly..Creating upward tension.and of course the excitement.

[@silvershamrocknovelties5723]

My favorite song by them. Just wish it would've been so much longer...

[@dennishenkle6507]

[@tabcoco]

one of my favorites by the 4 Seasons! great melody! real catchy! surprised it missed hitting the top 10. it stopped at #13.

[@Nestor123057]

A lot of their records were like that. They wanted to keep a low profile. Didn't promote like they should have.

[@andrewchase6748]

When you start listening to these songs while or after you are in love they really start having meaning! That comes with getting older from what I see also.

[@susanoconnor2114]

I absolutely love this song since I was a little girl. One of my favorite songs ❤❤

[@robertdavies7540]

I had almost forgotten about this number, but Paul Gambaccini played it on BBC R2 yesterday. The phrasing, harmonies and key changes are wondrous, oh beam be back to 1966!

[@robertdavies7540]

@Dan Woog Thanks for that Dan, an interesting and welcome comment.

[@jeffgordon7467]

JFC, what great music. I knew about and loved their 70s stuff, but this is pure gold. The producer did a brilliant job. I don't jack about music, but the perfect timing for the Season to join Frankie is stunning. What I think is a sax just makes this song so much better. I came across this song not long after I lost my dog. I had to stop listening because it brought back memories of that horrible day, but now it provides fond memories of my little girl.

[@yvonnesaldutti748]

This song brings back such good memories. If we could only go back in time.
