This is the type of songs that is necessary to listen to nowadays. His lyrics speak to us of beautiful values such as fidelity, solidarity, the determination to correct mistakes, the wonderful company of the family. I love this song, its music, its lyrics. God bless the singer and songwriters
The storytelling in this song is Phenomenal !!! Reels you in like a movie, by the time it gets to the cheering... no matter how many times I listen, I'm rooting for him and practically cheering myself. Such a beautifully writen song, someone needs to bring back story telling through music like this.
Rachanee Suzie Q I am 77 now and I had listened to this song since I was teenage... Now I am still listen to this song... It's s very lovely song. And it's make me happy when I listen it gor a lovely and the sweet of them... Thanks for this lovely song.Thsnk you so much again,...
This song is SO sweet. Considering it's about a guy that got out of prison for whatever reason, wanting to reconnect with his love, I think this song teaches us that everybody deserves a second chance at life. ♡
I always believe it’s better for people to changed for the better rather than people telling them that their life is ruined for the rest of their life and let them continue being bad. It’s better to changed so that no future life get hurt too. That’s just my opinion. But I like when they given chance to change and changed for goos
I worked in the prison system and you just keep dreaming that selfish, manipulating narcissists can change. They pretend to change just to get benefits and next thing you know a chair is coming right at you.
I cry everytime i hear this song. Reminds me of my grandfather who already passed away 3 years ago. He was a great man. I miss you each and everyday my grandpa!
my uncle just died, we spread his ashes and this was his favorite song. they said they had never seen the ashes stay afloat for so long. he knew we were there and stayed for us.
This song is a masterpiece. He tells such a profound story in an economy of words that is precise. Incredible song. So clear, so creative, and so heart wrenching.
Do you understand the meaning???? This is a song of desperation and hope for POC. They hope that family's are still waiting for them, after they more then likely have got a case for bullshti!!!! Then did time in prison!
Why yellow? Why not black 🖤🖤? You Americans has the largest prison population in the world. Your heart is still in prision though. Your crimes- rate per capital is a shame, not to mention. racism. America is just a perverted, satanic and rubbish country by the way!!
Probably this song was from 1973...First heard in 1989 from Assam, India. Really great song by Tony Orlando and Dawn. Really mesmerising and nostalgic.
Everyone misses their childhood days. When you are young all you think about is growing up and when that happens especially in your Golden years then you miss your childhood day. Life is really Great!
@una mckillen I was about to say that I listened to this on the radio when it came out. If these kids don't stop making me feel old I'm gonna hit them with my cane!
For many years,I ve listened to this song,And the artist Dawn is really conveying the happy feeling to see hundreds of ribbons round the Ole oak tree finally and coming home Thanks very much for romantic lovely song,Dawn 🌳
I had this old teacher and he loved this song so much and when he left to retire all the students sung this song to him and be begun to cry. (Mr Almond if you see this I hope your good)
It's crazy. I remember my dad telling me this story and I was too young to feel the same way he did about the story. Now that I accidentally found this song and heard the story again. I understand why he welled up a little when he finished the story. I was so happy to show this song to him! He really loves it. Thanks for sharing!
Glad to hear that Tony is still active and has a dinner theater in Branson, MO. Always has struck me as a good guy. I know he has been involved in a lot of charity work for veterans over many years. Best to Tony and thank you for all the wonderful music you've given us!
Mr. Orlando was on an episode of Gilbert Gottfried's (RIP) Amazing Colossal Podcast a few year back. I listened to it. Better than average episode! (And he SURVIVED Gilbert with his humor intact! LOL) He had some interesting stories to tell that included experiences with Jackie Gleason. The experience with Mr. Gleason was initially negative but it ended positively because Mr. Gleason corrected himself without being a diva about it. The story made me respect both Orlando and Gleason more...
'Now the whole damn bus is cheerin' and I can't believe I see... a hundred yellow ribbons round' the ole oak tree.' I felt that so much, I started crying
I was born in 2002 and always heard my dad sing this when I was younger and have only just found out that it was a real song, thank you to everyone who keeps music like this alive ❤
I'm 60, and loved this song back when it was all over the radio. This was literally one of the most popular songs of the 1970's, with it seeing heavy airplay even a year after its release, and all these years later it's still one of the best songs ever written.
When i got out of prison i thought people had tied a yellow ribbon around the trees but then when i got closer i noticed it was just that yellow plastic crime scene tape
Tie a Yellow Ribbon for me, Tony & Dawn, It's been 48 long years! I've loved this song since 1973 when I was 5-6 years old! My mother liked this song at that time as well.If this was the last song I ever listened to I wouldn't be fed up with it!
I love this song very much. It's part of my life and I always cry when I listen to it. It tells a simple story but the words and music make it unique. It will be a forever song. Thank you Tony Orlando for so beautiful song that will remain forever in my heart.
Finally, someone realizes the meaning of POC being incarcerated for nothing and doing time for crap! 3 yrs means he did time for a tiny infraction which I'm sure if he were white??
This song just brings me to tears n smiles... reminds me of my mom n her trying to just show me love her way when I was a Lil girl in the 70s. She passed away in 2016 n my life has never been thr same!!!! I miss n need her sooo sooo much!!! I hope she's happy as I sing this song n all her other songs!!! Her happiness is all that means the world to me!!!
My Mum used to sing this to my Sister and I when we were young and we always loved her voice singing to us..... our Mum passed this month on the 4th of May it's still unbelievable I'm hurting alot but this song makes me smile and cry all at the same time R.I.P Mum we love you forever
When i was high school i was in special education we had a kid in class who had severe Autism and he was obsessed with this song along with several other Tony Orlando songs. Every time i hear this song i think of him when he would try to sing it in class.
Introduce him to Marty Robbins and get him singing anti-communist songs. That's the most useful future an autist can have aside from being a human calculator.
2020 anyone? edit: it’s just january but i swear this song will be my song for 2020 edit: Wow, can’t believe that it has been 6 months already since i wrote this. Looking back at this makes me think that i expected too much from 2020. But, i still hope that things will get better. Stay safe out there.
This song absolutely brilliant I am a child of the 70s & remember dancing with my mum around the living room in my 50s now but every time I hear this song I can’t stop smiling!!!
This song reminds me of my Lola who passed away 9 years ago, she usually sung it for me and this song is also the favorite of my boyfriend’s grandmother💖
Filipinos tied yellow ribbons for the return of senator Ninoy Aquino who was then shortly assassinated at the airport... which sparked the Yellow Revolution against the Marcos regime
A very warm nostalgic feeling I get when I hear this lovely song, takes me back to when I was probably 7 years old.... best childhood we had in the 70's ❤
Throughout my childhood I remember seeing on my dad’s night stand a toy music box/statue of two children playing dentist in a dentist chair. The music box played this song. Being a dentist his entire life, he must have received it as a gift at some point. I never knew what tune it was until recently. I hadn’t heard this tune for 20 years until right now. The nostalgia is palpable. You’re not even gone yet and I miss you already, dad.
I always choke up on that final verse about the whole bus cheering. It is such a beautifully sung and genuine expression. Makes you feel like you're really on that bus!!
My tears keep falling when I read the lyrics, don't say men have no emotions, I feel their stress to express. This song also reminds me how faith is so strong when nowadays people just give up others so easily.
This song in my opinion inspired our people here in the Philippines to pin or tie a yellow ribbom for the homecoming of Senator Aquino who was exiled to US to undergo a heart surgery and later assassinated in Aug 1983 at the airport during his homecoming. The yellow or yellow ribbon is the political emblem/ color for the Liberal Party of the Philippines, his political party.
Timeless song that is still good to hear, it has a nice message, is well performed, and brings to me so many memories of that year 1973, one of my favorites through the years.
We learnt about colours today and our English teacher opened this song to acknowledge us what yellow ribbons mean. I'm a Gen Z kid but I love this song so so much. Mr. (U) Win Naing Ohn, you're the best English teacher ever! Thank you for your great lessons! Wish you all the best!
I can't believe i have found this song. I have been searching for it for about a year. I couldn't remember the name of this song and i finally found it.
I recently started rewatching "Little House on the Prairie" and I gotta say, I see it with totally different eyes this time. I always strongly disliked the 70s but now I actually come to like it. This music reminds me of it a lot. And I love it. What gorgeous music, I'm truly rediscovering the whole decade! :)
Gill, you and I are of the same mind! I grew up with the best of the 70's Music playing constantly (my parent's era) but never "got" the 70's like I love the 30's/40's, etc. It was Little House that opened my eyes! Xx
I was born 1989 and i just accidentally find this song and I fell in love with it. I soooo love the music and story of the lyrics.. I can't wait to go home and sing this song to my father. Still Listening at 2021💞
I know this song means a lot to people so if you know anyone who really connects to it, a good gift idea would be to buy them an oak sapling and give it to them with a yellow ribbon. This could also be something to remember someone who loved this song by if you have lost them. Stay safe and I hope this might help sometime.
The legend Donny Taylor told me about this song and I must have listened to it thousands of times since. This song will always remind me of you. Rest in peace DT brother you're missed and loved by all❤ We know you're still looking over us and guiding us ❤
The way I found this beautiful song is... I finished watching the Tv show Titans, and long story short became obsessed with it. Anyway I found the soundtrack on Spotify and played all the songs over, and over again until I finally just listened to the words, and started bawling my eyes out. I’ve replayed this video like 5 times. Such. A. Good song ;)
This song just makes me feel nostalgic and cry everytime i listen to it. My father used to listen to this every morning while doing some weightlifting when i was still a small child with my older siblings. He was very healthy and every one of my siblings still aren't busy in their life. Now, my father gets sick a lot and my older siblings are so busy working. I miss my childhood..
Hey Felix, yeah I miss some parts of my childhood too. Funny that when we were kids , we just wanted to be all grown but now we miss the great times that didn't seem to end. I hope you will find peace and wish you every success. Don't give up!
@@selenopheria a yellow ribbon is comonly used to represent the fight with suicides, it is used by people that have family come home after being in the army or jail to know they are still welcome. It is indeed quite sad since the man singing is about to end everything if he doesnt see the yellow ribbon.
Carol was my girlfriend when this song was in the charts in 1973, Christine has been my wife for 45 years now, can't help but think of Carol from time to time, where has the time gone.???
I remember when I finally started paying attention to the lyrics of the song I'd get goosebumps towards the end of it. To this day I still get goosebumps when the bus starts cheering and he sees 100 yellow ribbons on the oak tree 🥲
This song always and forever will remind me of my grandpa who passed away bc of Covid just last year, and today should be his 67th Birthday. I LOVE YOU AND I MISS YOU GRANDPA ❤️ R.I.P🕊️
Reminds me of when I was young and heard my mom and dad playing these albums. My father passed away 18 years ago and my mom is in the hospital and I'm asking for prayers that she makes it she is 87 but I still need her
Now is 2024 and I’m 77 yo still listened to this song. Listening from Long Beach, Ca. but originally from Philippines

1973 i was 6 but blown away by this year of glam rock and pop
God blessing every one. It song is Beautifull all tome. Guatemala Say hi
I recently started rewatching "Little House on the Prairie" and I gotta say, I see it with totally different eyes this time. I always strongly disliked the 70s but now I actually come to like it. This music reminds me of it a lot. And I love it. What gorgeous music, I'm truly rediscovering the whole decade! :)
Gill, you and I are of the same mind! I grew up with the best of the 70's Music playing constantly (my parent's era) but never "got" the 70's like I love the 30's/40's, etc. It was Little House that opened my eyes! Xx
That show is so good. I had the box set but sold it (regret doing so).
You will never ever get a awesome song like this ever again
I tied a yellow ribbon around thw iak tree. But he didnt see tears to me now. I love my son.
I was born 1989 and i just accidentally find this song and I fell in love with it. I soooo love the music and story of the lyrics.. I can't wait to go home and sing this song to my father. Still Listening at 2021💞
You can sing it to me anytime Maria.😊
My Nan used to sing this to me when I was a baby and a young child, now I'm 25 - time flies indeed.
Makes me happy and sad at the same time :')
October 2019 anyone? I really love this song. 💕
Me too❤
One of my favorites. 💖
For some reason this song was stuck in my head for a few days so I had to listen to it again.
Me too! I love songs like this which have a story to tell
Memories....
I was born in 1971. My parents got me to love this as one of my first favorite songs ❤❤❤❤❤
I'm 9 years old again, playing this 45 on my record player!
What's a record player?
Record player is the best to listen to music had one WHEN i was young
@@XxowendanxX That's how young you are! ah, ah, ah.
Yes, and putting it right back on because it's so good. I was a teenager when my brother introduced this song to me.
@@XxowendanxX You're too young to listen to this song. Go listen to Fetty Wap or 6ix9ine or whatever you kids listen to.
I know this song means a lot to people so if you know anyone who really connects to it, a good gift idea would be to buy them an oak sapling and give it to them with a yellow ribbon. This could also be something to remember someone who loved this song by if you have lost them. Stay safe and I hope this might help sometime.
One of my all time favorite songs. Thank you
February 1973.
In the hospital with a major eye injury.
Only music to keep me calm.
This song was always on.
Nostalgic my grandpa always played these type of songs every sunday when we go visit my grandma's grave❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Such a beautiful lyrics man. I can’t help but liking it.
2021 and still there is people listen to this song 😆👍
This song has been stuck in my head for DAYS. Had to come listen.
Me too .. 🤷♀️
It's been stuck in mine for 48 years! If this was the last song I ever listened to I wouldn't be fed up with it!
The legend Donny Taylor told me about this song and I must have listened to it thousands of times since. This song will always remind me of you. Rest in peace DT brother you're missed and loved by all❤ We know you're still looking over us and guiding us ❤
The way I found this beautiful song is... I finished watching the Tv show Titans, and long story short became obsessed with it. Anyway I found the soundtrack on Spotify and played all the songs over, and over again until I finally just listened to the words, and started bawling my eyes out. I’ve replayed this video like 5 times. Such. A. Good song ;)
Stevie and Malcolm. The best Friends. 😍😍😍😍
Great song still listening to this classic in 2021.❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍
Every single time I hear this, I cry!!
No sweeter tearjerker!! 🥰
2021 and still going strong some songs will never die thankfully
I was only a kid when they used sing this in our local club, and here I am 50 years later I still listen to it ❤️
Love this song and how it makes me go back in time ... the good old days ❤️❤️❤️
DE LAS MEJORES CANCIONES DE TODOS LOS TIEMPOS.
Tu si sabes
For sure.

This song just makes me feel nostalgic and cry everytime i listen to it. My father used to listen to this every morning while doing some weightlifting when i was still a small child with my older siblings. He was very healthy and every one of my siblings still aren't busy in their life. Now, my father gets sick a lot and my older siblings are so busy working. I miss my childhood..
Hey Felix, yeah I miss some parts of my childhood too. Funny that when we were kids , we just wanted to be all grown but now we miss the great times that didn't seem to end. I hope you will find peace and wish you every success. Don't give up!
The meaning behind the song is quite sad but the song itself is adorable
How is it sad? He's coming home after years in prison and his wife still wants him back. It's sweet.
The music is longing
The song is like a prayer
A prayer that comes true

@@selenopheria a yellow ribbon is comonly used to represent the fight with suicides, it is used by people that have family come home after being in the army or jail to know they are still welcome.
It is indeed quite sad since the man singing is about to end everything if he doesnt see the yellow ribbon.
Sad and beautiful in the same time.
Luckily it has an happy ending.
Carol was my girlfriend when this song was in the charts in 1973, Christine has been my wife for 45 years now, can't help but think of Carol from time to time, where has the time gone.???
I remember when I finally started paying attention to the lyrics of the song I'd get goosebumps towards the end of it. To this day I still get goosebumps when the bus starts cheering and he sees 100 yellow ribbons on the oak tree 🥲
Almost missed work due to this song once I hit the highway this song came on made me wanna keep cruising Lol
hahahaha know the feelings he he
Johnathen Renas u
You didnt see the yellow ribbon outside your workplace
Do what makes you happy, skip that exit.
Random guy .
Damn. I just realized the lyrics is so meaningful. Very beautiful song.
This song always and forever will remind me of my grandpa who passed away bc of Covid just last year, and today should be his 67th Birthday. I LOVE YOU AND I MISS YOU GRANDPA ❤️
R.I.P🕊️
Reminds me of when I was young and heard my mom and dad playing these albums. My father passed away 18 years ago and my mom is in the hospital and I'm asking for prayers that she makes it she is 87 but I still need her
Is she still there?
