This brings me back to the good old times of Christmas Day 1969 in Equatorial Guinea. I was dressed up as Santa Claus and we were giving Christmas presents in the Stadium to 150 political prisoners it was wholesome seeing them smile and cry. Boy those were the days.

I was born in Scotland in 1965. We left for Australia June 1970. I remember turning the radio on in Scotland and this song was playing and I instantly fell in love with it and have listened to it off on on ever since - I have also heard the Russian verion.

[@NorbertoCaponpon]

Im 61 yrs old today. But this song of Nary Hopkin is memorable for me. Because my mother Benny, n my sister Cely. Sad to say they have passed away but when I hear this I remember them and seem they're just besides me and singing together. Those were the days that we were happy

[@lindasidle2723]

It's 4 in the morning. In 1969 I was 22. Now at 76, I wake up and recall those good ol days. My mind is still 35, and my body is old. Melancholy takes over because memory allows us to smell roses in winter.

[@chraizeborromeo9559]

Thank you, mmLinda for sharing your nice memories. God bless.

[@jonbowman6711]

wow.. never looked at it like that before.. but that is soooo true. i guess i am glad i made so many memories.. because if we hadn't what would we have in the winter of our years.. best wishes linda

[@SheriChase]

My memories are still available. I think I'm younger than my joints allow. I believe I'm stronger than my grip grabs. I know I'm smarter than I look. Aging humbles us all. No egos allowed. No degree will save you from the effects of what we've all put into our bodies over the years in the ignorance and trust of self preservation or amusement and relaxation. Almost all of us succumb to the harsh reality of time. Why don't we live as long as trees? Because we trusted society to be fair, honest, and reliable. Hope sustains us all now. Hope in our Savior's Son, Jesus.

I was six years old, just out of the hospital, having survived spinal meningitis, when this song was on the radio, tooling around with my dad in his Buick Wildcat convertible--loads of GREAT memories. Now, at 61, I look back and wonder how so many years could have slipped by me so quickly.

[@PattyBinkis]

At 72 I feel worn. So hopeful. Those were such innocent words. Life showed us..... kids are raised, 72 and tired. My life slipping with bad health. I wish I was young, carefree and innocent again! Those were the day....

The choice of instruments, the musicians and the musical arrangement were a big factor in making this classic song a huge hit.

[@ShiningBrightlyEachDay]

I woke up this morning singing “those were the days my friends we thought they’d never end” which landed me at this video to find out who the artist was ❤

[@lefuedebout]

Can't explain just why but today I got an urge to know who had written this song, thinking perhaps one of the Beatles or someone like that. So I Googled it and what I learned surprised me. This song is in fact an English tramslation of a Russian folk song ( which maybe explains why it has such a nostalgic air about it. ) Music is by Boris Famin and lyrics by Eugene Raskin. And not a lot of people know that ! 🙂

[@РусланЗаурбеков-з6е]

"folk song" -- it is the one without known authors.
