This is a diamond in the ruff

Had them on phone and now disappeared. Just left with zip with andrew laurence version. Dont understand

Now do Christopher Walk-in.

He quoted it wrong it wasn’t 60 seconds it was 40 second distant run. This poem shows that Britain is the leader of the free world

There is something the English know, never ever add music to poetry.

Wow! Very cool👍🕊️

It's one I quote from regularly ( I'm in the security industry in the UK) my dad was in the British Army for 20 years ,,, this poem is about being a man I think Dennis Nailed it

He was going to say IF is the middle word in LIFE

If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies, Or being hated, don’t give way to hating, And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise: If you can dream-and not make dreams your master; If you can think-and not make thoughts your aim; If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same; If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools: If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breathe a word about your loss; If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’ If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings-nor lose the common touch, If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too much; If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it, And-which is more-you’ll be a Man, my son!

Why the needless background music tho

I feel like this is the essence of Stoicism. Excellent display, Mr. Hopper. I just saw an episode of The Twilight Zone with you in it. Powerful.

The greatest recitation of this poem I've ever heard,,,, the Michael Caine version is lovely but this is just perfect. This poem had meant so much to so many men and women over the years,,, it's wonderful to see it still rings as true today as it ever did. I would love to hear Owen Wilson recite this.

THANK YOU DENIS !! AWESOME - SO LOVELY AND TRUE FROM IRELAND

I am Russian, but charmed by British culture..I heard this poem ...Tears, and people over the world want peace. And love

So good. Joy. Cash always. If by Caine or Connery are good. This is poetry. First time view. Bit emotional emotional

Outstanding

THANK YEW.

Wow that was great.

One thing we do need to sort out: what happened to the page with the tracklistings that was online? It has died! Anything on Wayback Machine?

Finally got these uploaded: drive.google.com/drive/folders/1iTRSkcAC3snozbWuz1BXNxUPd-V02MFE?usp=sharing It's almost of all of them, I think.

was this 80s or 70s?

I remember having to learn and recite this in senior year of high school. Brings me to tears ❤

Great recitation, amazing poem & wonderful life advice ♥🖖

That was terrible and i love IF, Kipling, Hopper, and Cash. His inflection at the end lost the crescendo of the story "my son"

Have heard the earlier milk run episodes...........but the ossymyso ones are so much better. 1hr long, inventive comedy and music from up and coming comedians from 2004 that you see now. Mixed brilliantly with out there mixes by dj ossymyso. Wish more was available.

I have lived this. After my Dad passed, I stood alone, facing formidable foes, I doubted myself, I had to dig deep to conquer these evil forces. I won. I discovered this wise poem, years later.

It’s a shame about the ending. It’s great up until then but it’s not quite fitting with then overall spirit

I found copies and copies of this poem in my father's military footlocker. A sharecropper son , mother died in the greenville flood , under the ocean in the Pacific during ww2 at the age of 16 . I think this was my father's education. What a good thing .

A Happy and Safe 2023 Everyone. 🇺🇸 🇮🇳 🇬🇧

❤

Love the little 'you gonna be a man my son'...a little bit of americana to end a beautiful poem

I love and hate this poem. Only because I'm unsure I can live up to it.

Renew my faith in humanity? I'll always be the man I am now because I'm destined to be the person I always was. We all come full circle.

I used to think Dennis Hopper was pretty good. Now: GREAT!!! RIP DH

i´ve watched 4 great stars read this poem and still feel not one of them has done it right

Amen. My guidebook for life. I try to live up to it. I believe some people have never heard it. Or if they did pay it no heed.

Thank you for posting this

......he [hopper] is kept right here in good ol Taos , cheers !

And if you believe this crap your more stupid than u look😂😂🤣🤣

Got to be the best rendition of an awesome poem. I still get tearful every time I listen to it.

Definitely the best version of this I’ve ever heard

This read is terrible. Terrible compared to Sir Michael Caine. ruclips.net/video/sqOgyNfHl1U/видео.html&start_radio=1&rv=sqOgyNfHl1U&t=2

Thats the best ever of that words if wisdom

ENGLAND WILL BE PLAYING 4, 4, FUCKING 2!!!!

I can’t believe I’ve never sent this version.. man this is really cool.

Contrasted to his manic version in Apocalypse Now, this is nice lol.

Brilliant!

♥

Amazing young Dennis his eyes wow 🤓

I don't think that Kipling finished with, "...gunna be a man, my son".
