I am Chinese. Working in Africa for more than 4 years. I am the only child in my family. My son was born last year. Am fighting for a better life and for a better earnings. I miss my family & my hometown.
Better earnings and better life without family is nothing better brother. Please go back to family or bring your family to you. Stay with them. That is definitely better life.

This songs really strikes me as similar to a song called The Green Rolling Hills of West Virginia. Both songs are definitely about being lonely and missing home.
My father sung this for me and my sister when we were small and we all sang together. i still have tapes of us and we were like 3 and 4 years old. when my father was dying long distance my sister and i sung this in to the phone. Feb 21 my beloved sister was dying on a ER table and i sung this to her in her ear and then at her memorial, after playing the tapes of us singing together. My heart is broken and i miss her and my father so much. This song will always be so special to me.
I am a teacher. I taught my 8-9-year-old students this song months ago. I told them: "One day, when you become adults, especially when you are in far-from-home places, or when you are in train stations, airports, ... you may remember this beautiful song, which recalls the time when I taught you this song, the time when you were kids, with neither sadness nor worries."
When I left from my parents house in Osaka to Tokyo, I was 18. My dad sang this song for me. I couldn’t stop crying:’) Now I’m 25, and I live in England. I sometimes listen to this to remember my family members 😊
I'm in a bus taking a long ride back home after a long time. This song and the amazing stories on the comment section is so heartwarming that I can't stop crying. Listening this song on repeat for half an hour now. I can hear the whistle blow. I can feel the touch of kite string on my hands. The kisses from my father. The warmest hugs from my mother. The laughs and runs with my sibling. 500 miles 500 miles 500 miles. I can hear the whistle blow 500 miles.
My mom has alzheimer’s disease and she got blinded both eyes due to glaucoma (eye condition). At the moment I am assisting her walking now as she is exercising, while listening to her favorite song 500 miles. She still knows the lyrics and this song makes her happy and reminisce her childhood. I love her so much. God please give her a longer and happy life .Thanks to this song!
I was 16 yrs old when I left my home for my study . And I can't go back home whenever I want. I miss every single moment & things of my hometown. I miss the air ,the grass ,the sky ,the trees ,the people of my hometown. I can't hold my tears when I remember them ,and I can't even forget them for a single moment,it's always pops up in my mind . Now they are afar ! I can't no longer take it but also I can never turn back !! Life is so strange actually. :)
I am a 49 years old man. I emigrated to USA when I was 21. I used to drive a long distance in the winter to go to see my exgf in Lawrence Kansas. She used to sing this song to me in dark nights. We got separated because we were young and foolish. Life is a journey and wish you all enjoying it.
Missing my late dad terribly. This song made me remember my childhood with him and my siblings.😢😢😢. Recalling his voice, smile echoing in my mind made me bittersweet. May be this is called life.
I cant help but to cry while listening to this song. It reminds me of the most sensible preacher in the world. He is almost 500 miles away from his home.. And he misses us a lot... He's home country...
I am a musician and things are not working out. I came from a small city and now i'm living in a big city here in Brazil trying to make things work. I miss my old love ( we don't talk anymore), my family and my friends...I feel tired with the way my life is going...I still have hope but sometimes we are lost in our failures and problems...I will find my road one day. That's what i sincerelly hope for everyone who reads this. Keep pushing!
Every time I hear this song I think of my dearest Lynn. I loved you so, baby. I'm taking care of our boy as best as I can but he misses his mommy so much - as I miss you. You are so far away from us in time, now. I long so to hold you again but I have to stay here until he's grown... I will always love you. Always. Thank you for loving me while you were here on Earth.
Man, you made my eyes tear up. There will be joy, for you and your boy. Maybe not as you all would have had together, but joy just the same. Hang in there, for you and your boy!
4300 miles away from home, a Chinese from Shanghai now is living in Australia alone , I was singing this song with my Guitar group members together during the lockdown, I cannot go back and see my family because of the COVID-19.Wish all the people around the world are able to overcome the pains and hardship soon, Wish all the families get together joyously as a whole.
I have friends from Shanghai here in Cairns Queensland who arrived here to be with their parents for the Lunar New Year Festival who remain here indefinitely... possibly for at least another 12 months. At least you and they have WeChat and QQ with which to remain connected with family and friends in Shanghai.
I absolutely LOVED this flick. It recreated 1960's New York city...where I grew up...VERY well indeed. It caught the ambience of it without being forced. And Oscar Isaac was BRILLIANT in the role. A wonderful film...in turns sad, sometimes surreal, funny, ironic and witty.
This song evokes an awareness of our "human" nature which is forgotten all too quickly. We are not special or superior than anyone. We are all the same.
If you missed the train I'm on You will know that I am gone You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles A hundred miles, a hundred miles A hundred miles, a hundred miles You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles Lord, I'm one, Lord, I'm two Lord, I'm three, Lord, I'm four Lord, I'm five hundred miles away from home Away from home, away from home Away from home, away from home Lord, I'm five hundred miles away from home Not a shirt on my back Not a penny to my name Lord, I can't go back home this ole way This ole way, this ole way This ole way, this ole way Lord, I can't go back home this this ole way If you missed the train I'm on…

This is one of those songs... that has always won my heart 💜, no matter what ... It's so "Divinely" ... Feels like begging to my Lord "To let me live this Lifetime once again ... undoing all such mistakes which would've otherwise made me feel being in Heaven ❤..!" ... Lord I can't go back home... this a-way ... 🕯️🙏
Listening to this song reminds me my life. I am originally from a small town called Mindat, Chin State, Myanmar (Burma). I left my home many times for my education to study in other parts of Myanmar since I was grade six. when I passed high schools, I went my hometown one time for a few weeks as a stranger in the eveys of my neighbours. Then I continued my undergradate and post-graduate for almost ten years. Then I went back to my native towns just for a week to say goodbye because I went to join a civil service work in a remote border area of Myanmar, near india and Bangladesh. I worked there for four years and while my dad and my sister passed away and I could not manage to travel in times for their funerals. I was very sad not to see their last journey. But being a good civil servants, I got a scholarship for further study in Australia for two years from 2019 to 2020. I finished my study and returned my country and now in a hotel quartine. After this I have to join my work and there is still difficult to go back home. While listening to this song , I make up my mind to quit the job because I have a lot of losses and quite travelled more than five hundred miles in my life. life is short and I shuould be at my home and work there without leaving my home and family any longer. I pray for you,mates not to leave your home and family. Wish you all the best!
I live in Mumbai. My parents live in Dhaka. It's been a few days and I miss them so much. Once you leave you're home there is no going back. The place just isn't the same anymore. Every time you go back it's for a short while and you know that you have to leave soon.
My father and I used to listen to this song when I was a little girl. My parents wanted better opportunities for me and I left home and moved thousands of miles away. My father passed away suddenly ten years ago and now I listen to this song with my children and remember those times with him.
I am crying. 4 months into my journey to Mars. The thought of taking 2 years to return to earth is comforted only by the soft strum the guitar and this melancholy chorus.
This song always reminds me of my parents who are thousands of miles away. My parents always tell me to take care of myself without worry about them. May my parents always being good.
I played this song in my car after watching the movie in my room cuz i absolutely love it and i wasn't even born when the song was first released. Playing this song many times, suddenly my grandma who's in front of the seat with me sing along too, she felt nostalgic. I'm so glad she's still alive and be able to listen to this song with me and this version is so much better to listen, love it!!!
I remember signing this song in my music class when I was 7 and i remember being saddened by the song. I'm 20 now still brings tears in my eyes when i listen to the song after all this time.
Peter, Paul, and Mary was one of my fathers favorite groups. I grew up listening to their music and still know many of their popular songs by heart. He passed away almost 20 years ago and this song will always remind me of him.
not heard this song since my dad sang it to me 55 years ago, didnt know what it was called. he has been dead so long but this song just brought him back for a moment.
The best version so far. I came to USA when I was 23, and only been able to go home this year 2024. Being thousands miles away from family and relatives for a decade then listening to this song made me cry
This year is the eighth years since I left my mother's arms. When I heard this song, I feel sad and tears flow down my heart. I miss the past and my relatives and friends in my hometown
It is way past midnight.Here I am scrolling the comment section of one of the most melancholic songs ever written.There was a time I found this song very relatable when I first moved into my hostel(600km away from my home).But after two years,I can still relate to this song but on a very different note.I am now going through a very uncertain phase.Absolutely have no clue about my future,dont have any precise motive/goal,procrastinating horribly.I am,in fact,500 miles away from home(myself).This notion of uncertainty really frustrates me.But this song helps,it draws a line between the stagnant reality and myself.I hope this song will still be relatable to me in 4 or 5 years but on a very exciting note.
a friend of mine sent me this song just now. I did not hear it since ages. I know it from my childhood, but never paid attention to the lyrics since english is not my mother tongue. I started to read the first few comments yours included and they made me cry since I left my home recently and I am at a crossroads like you had described. I wondered how did things go for you over the last 11 months. are you still in uncertainty or did things change for the better?
I’m a Vietnamese, I stayed in USA for over six years, omg I remember my home so much, I remember the church where I played with my friends so much. I’m writing and crying at the same time. Thanks god let me remember before I completely forget everything. I miss home so much. 7 years omg I want to go home just a day, just a day.
For the last few years I have been feeling like there is no difference between happiness and sadness. Nothing in control of us. We are just a dust on the wind. Nothing really matters.
Everyone is talking about how they are far away from home and all that but nobody is talking about the movie and montage used here from it. Such an underrated gem it is, both visually and musically.
Randomly found this song on RUclips.. It is literally a masterpiece with great tune, and relatable lyrics.. I became very addictive to this song that I can listen it the entire day without getting tired❤
I heard it watching a video of a paralyzed dog getting a wheelchair. Its front legs worked and it was so happy. I looked up the song and now I wake up in the morning with in my head.
. . . . . . Wait a minute. I'm not a racist or discriminate on the basis of class. I once called my bengali friend (biswas), *das* (In hindi, das = servant). So he started teasing on my surname. I asked him what was the problem. He just said, *"Stop calling me das, you would be das"* I said okay, I'm das and will search on the internet about that. He said, *"since you are a das, you don't deserve to access the internet"* Then I came to know about it in google.
I just accidentally listened to this song when I was searching for others but i have to say that the melody of this one is really beautiful, thanks a lot.
This song was played by my english teacher when I was in class 9 or 10 in smart board and I am now 20 years old! That time I have sadness in my mind and this time (when I really realise this song meaning) I use to cry a lot!
My 6th grade English teacher used to sing this for the class. Such nostalgia. I never knew this song would come back to me this way. "you can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles" the only line I knew properly and have sung over the years from time to time. I used to love it so much.
When listening to this song, I shed some tears. We, Myanmar People being tortured and killed by Military Junta, are forgotten by the world. Seeing UN not taking any strong actions breaks my heart. 💔If you missed the train I'm on You will know that I am gone You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles💔
Watched this film yet again last night. One of the few American films to tackle what it means, not to succeed, but to fail as an artist. Anybody creative will see truth in it. My second favourite Coens (after Lebowski).
After reading all the comments below I realise that my father do the same with us I am so happy that he is with me not only my father I thank God for giving me everything I have including my family and relations . Even though my parents are with me I cry everytime I listen to this song realising that I am gonna lose them one day . I just don't want to see that day 😭😭😭😭.
Have to watch the whole movie after listening to this song. Didn't expect it to be such an amazing movie as well. How emotional the film was and how relevant this song was to it shook my soul. Thank you so much!
In January 2021 I left my beloved Texas because it had turned into a place I did not recognize. I know I am not welcome there, but the home I had known and loved for 66 years was gone, sadly forever replaced by a monstrosity of hate, prejudice and intolerance. I moved to Portland and found the most loving and accepting community I could ever hope for. I still miss the Texas and Austin I knew as a girl and a young woman, The Armadillo, Liberty Lunch, Clarksville. The live music scene with Billy Joe Shaver, Townes Van Zandt, Janis Joplin, Blaze Foley and so many more. They will all live in my heart for as long as I can draw breath.
What a beautiful emotional rendering, Justin Timberlake has gone a long way up in my estimation. First time I ever heard Carey Mulligan sing, she has a lovely voice.
First time I hear this song and it comes at a very tough but suitable time. I have been away from home for more than 10 years now (for conditions out of my control) and I might have to leave the place I spent the last years in for an unknown future. On the other hand my kids have been passing important milestones in their lives with me away. Today was one of these milestones for my daughter, and this song came up.😢
I'm a person. I woke up this morning and had breakfast and I've been doing that since I can remember. Not many people know this but I don't have any toenails and sometimes this film makes me remember a time when I could walk up the stairs and say that I'm on the second floor of my house. One day I hope to be able to walk back down them again and say good morning to my wife and 3 pet gerbils whom most of the time cannot leave their cages without moral support. I hope this story is as inspiring as many others in the comments section and shines a light in your refrigerator. Many blessings to me and not you.
I was born once. It's been so long ago now, but I still remember. Whenever I hear this song it reminds me of those moments so long ago and I was there. My family never really understood why. And now it's too late, as tomorrow has become yesterday. But at least I can always go back to this song, even if I don't know when it will be..
This guy did such a good job as Lewis Davis. Then I guess he dissapeared. This movie I guess wasn’t awfully popular but He , Jack White, and others did such a great job in bringing out the nostalgia that was the 60’s to light again
When I listen to this song, a sense of peace spontaneously arises deep in my mind . The song helps to soothe some pains from the real world and relieves the pressure in my mind. No matter where I am or what I do, my family always gives me a positive attitude to face the challenges of this world. So just focus on doing things that you really interesting and that you would prefer spend time on with your loved ones and your children.
I m leaving away from my home since last 7 years, I can very much relate how emotional 💔 it is. Thanks for this beautiful creation to feel out emotions.
Living in Sweden since 2018, was born and grew up in China, some bad issues had just happened to me. When listening this song, couldn't help crying. But could not show up to anyone, because I don't want anyone who loves me worrying about me.
Im a worker in bangalore(Inida),I work day and mid night shift to support myself and family i usually listen to justin timberlake or 500 miles whenver i miss my family and my brothers and sisters I felt most understood listening to this song
I’m in a space where I don’t really know where home is and I usually feel unsettled because I’m in between towns because of school..this song keeps me calm and just hope life unfolds to get me settled and feel like I have control of what I’m doing 🙏♥️Such a beautiful song
If you missed the train I'm on You will know that I am gone You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles A hundred miles, a hundred miles A hundred miles, a hundred miles You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles Nor, I'm one, Nor, I'm two Nor, I'm three, Nor, I'm four Nor, I'm five hundred miles away from home Away from home, away from home Away from home, away from home Nor, I'm five hundred miles away from home Not a shirt on my back Not a penny to my name Nor, I can't go back home this ole way This ole way, this ole way This ole way, this ole way Nor, I can't go back home this this ole way If you missed the train I'm on You will know that I am gone You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles A hundred miles, a hundred miles A hundred miles, a hundred miles You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
Corona took my best friend my grandfather away from me.. My mom and my father are separated for the last 25 years.. it's only me n mom now. not a day not a moment goes by we miss my grandfather.. Wherever he is now may he be in peace.. I wish we could've given him more..
Just saw this on a blurb on the morning show had to look it up, I knew I’ve heard this song before (child of the 70’s) but it’s so nice to hear it again. 🥰
The second English song l learned in University 34 years ago. The English teacher at that time was a Canadian teacher from Hong Kong University.Time passed too fast. The separation and reunion experienced were the same as those in this song.
This song's lyrics was in our school diary and one of my senior taught me how to sing...that time I heard it only from her and it felt peaceful now I know it's actually a song! What a beautiful song,reminds me of my school days!
This song is beautiful and the video along with it made me cry for about 5 minutes straight and I haven’t heard it for about ten years and I have special memories with it 😢
i am Chinese. Working and living in the UK for over 3 years. After my first failed marriage in China, i dropped everything and left Shenzhen, trying to heal the wounds and build a new life. I don't remember how many tears i have shed when i miss my family my friends my country, the emotions are overwhelming, but i can't go back, i have to move on. Every morning when i wake up, i check my phone, the first wechat message i check is always from my family, if i know they are fine, then it will make my day. I used to ask myself i would regret living abroad, now i tell myself, no, i don't regret. I miss you, all the people i love, but don't worry about me
Hey there! Hang on, everything will be fine. You're where you're meant to be. Sorry to joke about it but as master oogway said " there are no accidents " Patience is all it needs. Everything will be how you want it, a bit from your side and bit on your fate. I wish you and your family a healthy, happy and cheerful life and that you find a loving husband💖
youve done the right moves....just need to focus on how you and your family can become a close circle again.....takes time but youre on the right road....take care and keep thinking about your loved ones...
I found this song this morning when I am being burned out and its melody made me burst into tears but I feel peaceful and better a bit somehow. Wish myself and everyone who is away from home all the best.
~ There is the old cliche, ( perhaps applying best when one is in deep Siberia or middle of a musk ox trail hitch-hiking in Mongolia or even shoveling fish guts in a market (a vegetarian) in Amsterdam hoping to save the mercy cash for a temporary job taken just for the next train ticket getting you into somewhere Slavic & sane as I have been & more, then this may apply ) in saying "Home is where the heart is". Either way, I envy your capacity to weep, a gift I lost through far too many sorrows. When a man or woman has that precious gift of having even a single tear, then it, like that sorrow is theirs & no one else's. Guard it as might a dragon fierce over gold heaped high. Keep the hope, the heart, the surity that wherever you stand in those well-worn shoes, there is a girl who is 'home sweet home', whenever, however, wherever such a "here" may be. ~ VK
I am Chinese. Working in Africa for more than 4 years. I am the only child in my family. My son was born last year. Am fighting for a better life and for a better earnings. I miss my family & my hometown.

I hope you the best, take care!
Better earnings and better life without family is nothing better brother. Please go back to family or bring your family to you. Stay with them. That is definitely better life.

No words can express the beauty of this song. Its timeless
This performance is a gem..out of all the thousands of songs, this is the song that fits perfectly with my imperfect life moving on towards its end
Missing my late dad terribly. This song made me remember my childhood with him and my siblings.😢😢😢. Recalling his voice, smile echoing in my mind made me bittersweet. May be this is called life.
I cant help but to cry while listening to this song. It reminds me of the most sensible preacher in the world. He is almost 500 miles away from his home.. And he misses us a lot... He's home country...
he has his own version of this song. search for it. you would love it
By far the best version of 500 miles. For some reason I cant find this on Spotify or Amazon Music. Just love this song. Who else is here June '23??

Every time I hear this song I think of my dearest Lynn. I loved you so, baby. I'm taking care of our boy as best as I can but he misses his mommy so much - as I miss you. You are so far away from us in time, now. I long so to hold you again but I have to stay here until he's grown... I will always love you. Always. Thank you for loving me while you were here on Earth.
I wish you the best for your son and yourself. When he grows up he's going to know what a great father you are and how much you love and care for him.
@Nazim Dean Thank you and peace be to you.
I hope you are able to find some peace and love too, I am so sorry, your posting is very moving
Man, you made my eyes tear up. There will be joy, for you and your boy. Maybe not as you all would have had together, but joy just the same. Hang in there, for you and your boy!
Mr. B Natural Be strong, mate !
Loads of best wishes for you and your baby !
4300 miles away from home, a Chinese from Shanghai now is living in Australia alone , I was singing this song with my Guitar group members together during the lockdown, I cannot go back and see my family because of the COVID-19.Wish all the people around the world are able to overcome the pains and hardship soon, Wish all the families get together joyously as a whole.
Same here. More than 500 miles from Beijing, where I am from.
I have friends from Shanghai here in Cairns Queensland who arrived here to be with their parents for the Lunar New Year Festival who remain here indefinitely... possibly for at least another 12 months. At least you and they have WeChat and QQ with which to remain connected with family and friends in Shanghai.
From Zhejiang,now in Europe,also live alone. Experienced anxiety during lockdown. Hope everything will goes well in the future.
More than 500 miles away from home. 😭蓝瘦
Amen.
I absolutely LOVED this flick. It recreated 1960's New York city...where I grew up...VERY well indeed. It caught the ambience of it without being forced.
And Oscar Isaac was BRILLIANT in the role.
A wonderful film...in turns sad, sometimes surreal, funny, ironic and witty.
This song is so 30%gentle, 30%lovely, and 40%beautiful ❤
This song evokes an awareness of our "human" nature which is forgotten all too quickly. We are not special or superior than anyone. We are all the same.
Beautiful
I can't listen to this without crying, and i don't even have story to go with this song
same
Me too.

🙂 You don't need a story...... just enjoy

This is the best version of 500 Miles, so soothing.
500 miles
No version with out Mary is a good version.
@@danarzechula3769 Peter, Paul and Mary is my favorite.
赞同你的说法!agreed with your opinion.
Good version but I prefer Jackie DeShannon's version
This song conveys to me the sensibilities of young people in the 1960s.
Greetings from Japan.
If you missed the train I'm on
You will know that I am gone
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
A hundred miles, a hundred miles
A hundred miles, a hundred miles
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
Lord, I'm one, Lord, I'm two
Lord, I'm three, Lord, I'm four
Lord, I'm five hundred miles away from home
Away from home, away from home
Away from home, away from home
Lord, I'm five hundred miles away from home
Not a shirt on my back
Not a penny to my name
Lord, I can't go back home this ole way
This ole way, this ole way
This ole way, this ole way
Lord, I can't go back home this this ole way

COVID FROM HOME.😖
My father sang this to me when I was a 2 months old, and it's been that way ever since.
oneof my favorite "small" things about this movie is how innocently genuine timberlake's character is
If you missed the train I'm on
You will know that I am gone
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
A hundred miles, a hundred miles
A hundred miles, a hundred miles
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
Lord, I'm one, Lord, I'm two
Lord, I'm three, Lord, I'm four
Lord, I'm five hundred miles away from home
Away from home, away from home
Away from home, away from home
Lord, I'm five hundred miles away from home
Not a shirt on my back

Lord, I can't go back home this ole way
This ole way, this ole way
This ole way, this ole way
Lord, I can't go back home this this ole way
If you missed the train I'm on

A hundred miles, a hundred miles
A hundred miles, a hundred miles
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
Thanks a lot
Thank you, mate
Probably the BEST rendition ever for "500 miles"....natural...easy to listen to...500 times 500 times 500.....and never get tired of it!
Well Peter Paul and Mary had the Virtuosity
This is one of those songs... that has always won my heart 💜, no matter what ... It's so "Divinely" ... Feels like begging to my Lord "To let me live this Lifetime once again ... undoing all such mistakes which would've otherwise made me feel being in Heaven ❤..!"
... Lord I can't go back home... this a-way ...
🕯️🙏
Listening to this song reminds me my life.
I am originally from a small town called Mindat, Chin State, Myanmar (Burma). I left my home many times for my education to study in other parts of Myanmar since I was grade six.
when I passed high schools, I went my hometown one time for a few weeks as a stranger in the eveys of my neighbours. Then I continued my undergradate and post-graduate for almost ten years. Then I went back to my native towns just for a week to say goodbye because I went to join a civil service work in a remote border area of Myanmar, near india and Bangladesh. I worked there for four years and while my dad and my sister passed away and I could not manage to travel in times for their funerals. I was very sad not to see their last journey. But being a good civil servants, I got a scholarship for further study in Australia for two years from 2019 to 2020. I finished my study and returned my country and now in a hotel quartine. After this I have to join my work and there is still difficult to go back home.
While listening to this song , I make up my mind to quit the job because I have a lot of losses and quite travelled more than five hundred miles in my life. life is short and I shuould be at my home and work there without leaving my home and family any longer.
I pray for you,mates not to leave your home and family.
Wish you all the best!
Wish you all the best
I am also from Myanmar(Yangon)
I am Karen
Wish You got to work near your home and near your family.

I live in Mumbai. My parents live in Dhaka. It's been a few days and I miss them so much. Once you leave you're home there is no going back. The place just isn't the same anymore. Every time you go back it's for a short while and you know that you have to leave soon.
My father and I used to listen to this song when I was a little girl. My parents wanted better opportunities for me and I left home and moved thousands of miles away. My father passed away suddenly ten years ago and now I listen to this song with my children and remember those times with him.
I am crying. 4 months into my journey to Mars. The thought of taking 2 years to return to earth is comforted only by the soft strum the guitar and this melancholy chorus.

I played this song in my car after watching the movie in my room cuz i absolutely love it and i wasn't even born when the song was first released. Playing this song many times, suddenly my grandma who's in front of the seat with me sing along too, she felt nostalgic. I'm so glad she's still alive and be able to listen to this song with me and this version is so much better to listen, love it!!!

That's cool that you could sign language this whole song at age 7.
Peter, Paul, and Mary was one of my fathers favorite groups. I grew up listening to their music and still know many of their popular songs by heart. He passed away almost 20 years ago and this song will always remind me of him.
not heard this song since my dad sang it to me 55 years ago, didnt know what it was called. he has been dead so long but this song just brought him back for a moment.
Suddenly this song plays in my heart so I come back to watch again on 30th June 2024

Such an emotional song with melodious voice ...my eyes filled with full of tears while listening this magnificent song ...
It is way past midnight.Here I am scrolling the comment section of one of the most melancholic songs ever written.There was a time I found this song very relatable when I first moved into my hostel(600km away from my home).But after two years,I can still relate to this song but on a very different note.I am now going through a very uncertain phase.Absolutely have no clue about my future,dont have any precise motive/goal,procrastinating horribly.I am,in fact,500 miles away from home(myself).This notion of uncertainty really frustrates me.But this song helps,it draws a line between the stagnant reality and myself.I hope this song will still be relatable to me in 4 or 5 years but on a very exciting note.
I hope things will get better for u
a friend of mine sent me this song just now. I did not hear it since ages. I know it from my childhood, but never paid attention to the lyrics since english is not my mother tongue. I started to read the first few comments yours included and they made me cry since I left my home recently and I am at a crossroads like you had described. I wondered how did things go for you over the last 11 months. are you still in uncertainty or did things change for the better?
5 yrs time when u look back, rest assured u be smiling at your own naive thinking. U will be in a better position. Trust me.
I hope you are doing better now. All the best for your future (Y)
How are you now?
I’m a Vietnamese, I stayed in USA for over six years, omg I remember my home so much, I remember the church where I played with my friends so much. I’m writing and crying at the same time. Thanks god let me remember before I completely forget everything. I miss home so much. 7 years omg I want to go home just a day, just a day.
I don’t know why, I was fascinated by this song when I heard it the first time. It made me go back to the gold old days!
It's sad when the people who gives you the best memories becomes a memory..
Stop. This comment just made me sad af
This will easily be in the greatest 100 songs of all time. Maybe even in the top 10.
For the last few years I have been feeling like there is no difference between happiness and sadness. Nothing in control of us. We are just a dust on the wind. Nothing really matters.
Everyone is talking about how they are far away from home and all that but nobody is talking about the movie and montage used here from it.
Such an underrated gem it is, both visually and musically.
And the clowns at the Academy totally ignored it for the Oscars
@@bmabs35 fuck the Oscars. Neve r cared about them anyways.
Inside Llewyn Davis is one of the best films of all time IMHO.
Exactly! They never talk about this great movie. All the bloody idiots here whining about their sordid life away from home and who is to blame?
@@bmabs35 It's because the movie already has an Oscar.
Justin's voice is absolutely amazing for this kind of song, hope to heard more of him like this!
Randomly found this song on RUclips.. It is literally a masterpiece with great tune, and relatable lyrics.. I became very addictive to this song that I can listen it the entire day without getting tired❤
Yesss...

I heard it watching a video of a paralyzed dog getting a wheelchair. Its front legs worked and it was so happy. I looked up the song and now I wake up in the morning with in my head.

Wait a minute. I'm not a racist or discriminate on the basis of class.
I once called my bengali friend (biswas), *das* (In hindi, das = servant).
So he started teasing on my surname.
I asked him what was the problem.
He just said, *"Stop calling me das, you would be das"*
I said okay, I'm das and will search on the internet about that.
He said, *"since you are a das, you don't deserve to access the internet"*
Then I came to know about it in google.

This song was played by my english teacher when I was in class 9 or 10 in smart board and I am now 20 years old!
That time I have sadness in my mind and this time (when I really realise this song meaning) I use to cry a lot!
My 6th grade English teacher used to sing this for the class. Such nostalgia. I never knew this song would come back to me this way. "you can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles" the only line I knew properly and have sung over the years from time to time. I used to love it so much.
relatable it was my 3rd grade teacher
This was my father's favourite song. Sadly he passed away today 😢.. We'll miss you
I am sure he is looking down smiling at you.
When listening to this song, I shed some tears. We, Myanmar People being tortured and killed by Military Junta, are forgotten by the world. Seeing UN not taking any strong actions breaks my heart.

Watched this film yet again last night. One of the few American films to tackle what it means, not to succeed, but to fail as an artist. Anybody creative will see truth in it. My second favourite Coens (after Lebowski).

After reading all the comments below I realise that my father do the same with us I am so happy that he is with me not only my father I thank God for giving me everything I have including my family and relations . Even though my parents are with me I cry everytime I listen to this song realising that I am gonna lose them one day . I just don't want to see that day 😭😭😭😭.

In January 2021 I left my beloved Texas because it had turned into a place I did not recognize. I know I am not welcome there, but the home I had known and loved for 66 years was gone, sadly forever replaced by a monstrosity of hate, prejudice and intolerance. I moved to Portland and found the most loving and accepting community I could ever hope for. I still miss the Texas and Austin I knew as a girl and a young woman, The Armadillo, Liberty Lunch, Clarksville. The live music scene with Billy Joe Shaver, Townes Van Zandt, Janis Joplin, Blaze Foley and so many more. They will all live in my heart for as long as I can draw breath.
What a beautiful emotional rendering, Justin Timberlake has gone a long way up in my estimation. First time I ever heard Carey Mulligan sing, she has a lovely voice.
I did not recognize it was him til reading this. I don’t know the movie or the song.

My most favorite rendition of this song. It's beautifully executed in every way.
First time I hear this song and it comes at a very tough but suitable time. I have been away from home for more than 10 years now (for conditions out of my control) and I might have to leave the place I spent the last years in for an unknown future. On the other hand my kids have been passing important milestones in their lives with me away. Today was one of these milestones for my daughter, and this song came up.😢
Inside llewyn davis is an under rated classic...I think it has one of the best sound tracks.
It's under rated, just like Llewyn
To say , best Folk Songs ever !
@Randy White Yeah, but guess how many people commenting have actually seen the movie?
A sad song about life, but no matter how long our journey would be, 'he's is always our guide' ❤️🙏❤️

I'm a person. I woke up this morning and had breakfast and I've been doing that since I can remember. Not many people know this but I don't have any toenails and sometimes this film makes me remember a time when I could walk up the stairs and say that I'm on the second floor of my house. One day I hope to be able to walk back down them again and say good morning to my wife and 3 pet gerbils whom most of the time cannot leave their cages without moral support. I hope this story is as inspiring as many others in the comments section and shines a light in your refrigerator. Many blessings to me and not you.
I was born once. It's been so long ago now, but I still remember. Whenever I hear this song it reminds me of those moments so long ago and I was there. My family never really understood why. And now it's too late, as tomorrow has become yesterday. But at least I can always go back to this song, even if I don't know when it will be..
60's is a very important decade to remember.
Indeed.
60s were more important than the 00s and 10s put together.
This guy did such a good job as Lewis Davis. Then I guess he dissapeared. This movie I guess wasn’t awfully popular but He , Jack White, and others did such a great job in bringing out the nostalgia that was the 60’s to light again
People who age 20 at 1960 are die .We will lost all of them and their memory.
Everytime I listen to 500miles it makes me feel alive everytime. Best song.

When I listen to this song, a sense of peace spontaneously arises deep in my mind . The song helps to soothe some pains from the real world and relieves the pressure in my mind. No matter where I am or what I do, my family always gives me a positive attitude to face the challenges of this world. So just focus on doing things that you really interesting and that you would prefer spend time on with your loved ones and your children.
I m leaving away from my home since last 7 years, I can very much relate how emotional 💔 it is.
Thanks for this beautiful creation to feel out emotions.

Just saw this on a blurb on the morning show had to look it up, I knew I’ve heard this song before (child of the 70’s) but it’s so nice to hear it again. 🥰
The second English song l learned in University 34 years ago. The English teacher at that time was a Canadian teacher from Hong Kong University.Time passed too fast. The separation and reunion experienced were the same as those in this song.
This song's lyrics was in our school diary and one of my senior taught me how to sing...that time I heard it only from her and it felt peaceful now I know it's actually a song!
What a beautiful song,reminds me of my school days!
Our School diary too
It's a beautiful song.

i am Chinese. Working and living in the UK for over 3 years. After my first failed marriage in China, i dropped everything and left Shenzhen, trying to heal the wounds and build a new life. I don't remember how many tears i have shed when i miss my family my friends my country, the emotions are overwhelming, but i can't go back, i have to move on. Every morning when i wake up, i check my phone, the first wechat message i check is always from my family, if i know they are fine, then it will make my day. I used to ask myself i would regret living abroad, now i tell myself, no, i don't regret. I miss you, all the people i love, but don't worry about me
Hey there! Hang on, everything will be fine. You're where you're meant to be. Sorry to joke about it but as master oogway said " there are no accidents "
Patience is all it needs. Everything will be how you want it, a bit from your side and bit on your fate. I wish you and your family a healthy, happy and cheerful life and that you find a loving husband💖
youve done the right moves....just need to focus on how you and your family can become a close circle again.....takes time but youre on the right road....take care and keep thinking about your loved ones...

I found this song this morning when I am being burned out and its melody made me burst into tears but I feel peaceful and better a bit somehow. Wish myself and everyone who is away from home all the best.
~ There is the old cliche, ( perhaps applying best when one is in deep Siberia or middle of a musk ox trail hitch-hiking in Mongolia or even shoveling fish guts in a market (a vegetarian) in Amsterdam hoping to save the mercy cash for a temporary job taken just for the next train ticket getting you into somewhere Slavic & sane as I have been & more, then this may apply ) in saying "Home is where the heart is". Either way, I envy your capacity to weep, a gift I lost through far too many sorrows. When a man or woman has that precious gift of having even a single tear, then it, like that sorrow is theirs & no one else's. Guard it as might a dragon fierce over gold heaped high. Keep the hope, the heart, the surity that wherever you stand in those well-worn shoes, there is a girl who is 'home sweet home', whenever, however, wherever such a "here" may be.
