That song, always, makes me cry as that was, exactly, how I felt the first time I met my husband to be. My roommate insisted I meet her fiance's best buddy who had just arrived back from two years in Australia having been playing there & just returned to the states. I fought tooth & nail with my roommate that I did not do blind dates, but, when I met him the 1st time & saw his smile, I knew he was the one. I told him I was going to marry him on our 3rd date, I think. We married, many happy years together & he died 7 yrs. ago & I miss him, terribly. This song is the most beautiful song I have ever heard & does, indeed, stir up those wonderful memories.
Hearts that are united through the medium of sorrow will not be separated by the glory of happiness. Love that is cleansed by tears will remain eternally pure and beautiful. ~ Kahlil Gibran's Little Book of Love
'Journey of Souls' by (the late) Dr Michael Newton, is about our 'life between lives' which many of us believe is our real home where we return to reside with our loved ones.
What a beautiful love story, Meta! And I'm so sorry that you lost your husband -- it can be such a tough journey, and hopefully those wonderful memories of your life keep a glow in your heart now. The song just takes my breath away. This version and Roberta Flack's version are amazing and they conjure up so many intense feelings and memories.
Yes--Julie--the first time, still haunts this 77-year-old man to this day--RIP dear one. This song brought a tears to my eyes. Can't wait to I see you again--and that beautiful smile.
Apparently there are 1.3K people whom are either deaf, don't appreciate amazing voices, or are jealous! I loved Peter, Paul, and Mary. They take me back to the better, more innocent days, of America... when music touched your soul.
There is no way to count the numbers of people who were born without a sense of great music. Those are the ones who think getting stoned and vomiting at Kiss concerts is the way to go
did not know its origin! raised in the 70's. so much of my music came before me. i love the original songs and voices before auto tune. the swifties and their minion mother is just appaling.
In 1966 I was 15 years old and working as an usher at Municipal Auditorium in Kansas City Mo. Peter Paul and Mary were playing a concert and my best friend and I were asked to take soft drinks to their dressing room before the show. When we entered the room to set the tray of drinks down PP&M were playing & singing a song, I assume they were warming up before the performance. Mary was sitting facing the door. She looked at me and smiled. What a beautiful lady she was!
Fue mi inspiracion. Inolvidable voz. Tuvo lo que se define como "un oído absoluto" para ejecutar cada nota musical exactamente, la precisa y no otra, cuando se canta a tres voces. Algo especialísimo reservado a muy pocos. Yo tambien lo tuve. Mary: digna de memoria eterna. Gracias.
Mary's voice was the voice of an angel. She melted my soul. So sweet, with such feeling. What a beautiful song, what a beautiful arrangement, what a outstanding performance! I love everything they ever did--never a off song. How wonderful is that?! How can ANYONE not love this?!! Some of the most perfect harmony ever created by human voice! My soul soars with the beauty of everything they ever sung.
@@virgorising7388 OMG. Small world. I lived in Brewster NY from '71-72 just 8 miles from Danbury. I saw all three of them here in Madison, WI at the Performing Arts Center. Great experience, eh?
If you are 15-20 years old and here listening to this song, congratulations you have my respect. We need young people like you so that our real music can continue to exist. May 2020
20 years old and wishing I'd been alive in the 60s to appreciate Peter, Paul and Mary in their prime! Replaying this video will have to suffice. Their work will forever touch people :)
@@flavianna3241 Their music is available on many streaming services. However CDs are the way to go for me. I originally had all of their albums on phonographs, but it is difficult to find record players anymore. Amazon has their CDs.
Jodie, I am sure you will see him again and please carry with you this love he has for you. Please live your life to the fullest, this I think is what he wants you to do before you reunite with him. ❤ Sending you love, Melanie

My thoughts exactly! Loving, peaceful, respectful, beauty,: I miss those traits in music and mostly in the human race. We can be saints and/or sinners, or both, fighting inside: feed the saint, love the sinner, hate the sin. We can be so much more than we think...if only.
De acuerdo en lo dicho. Era una voz excepcional, sus armonizaciones tambien lo fueron. Sin duda fueron una leccion de buena música para todos y un auténtico placer escucharlos. Gracias por aquellas bellisimas interpretaciones.
Peter, Paul, and Mary❤️😭❤️😭❤️ They don’t make love songs like this anymore. They were such an amazing group. Active in social justice and incredible musicians.
I saw them, past mid life, at Roy Thompson Hall, in Toronto ON, Canada. A friend and I sat in choir loft, behind them.. Mary did not disappoint~ she was in bare feet as she kept the beat! (She left our planet , shortly after, I felt even more privileged! Thx ISSER!)
I love this rendition. It just flows like two people totally in love. Hand in hand looking into each others' eyes. I'll be married 42 years this month and I still feel this way about my wife. I get chills when she comes in.
Long lasting passion and love, my love and I will be married 45 years in April.i know exactly how you feel, I still have butterflies and blush, I love you Gregory.congrats to you and your lucky wife 💕
Wow... not many can say that. P.s. That feeling when she comes in... she hasn't wired your chair to the mains has she? Muttering "the twats still here!" as she flips the switch in the kitchen, ;-)
Awww! That is so sweet! I hope you tell her in words how she makes you feel. We have been married 49 years, and my husband is very good to me, but I long to hear loving words from him, and not just loving actions. 👍❤️
When my baby daughter died I left the hospital and just drove my car for the longest time. This played on the radio and branded its way into my brain. If I ever hear this song it freezes me cold. 38 years later its still the same. God bless your soul Tara, 'til we meet again.
I just read your reply and I am profoundly moved to tears. I do not know you, but will always think of you and your precious baby daughter Tara when I hear this beautiful song. I am still crying.
@@leslieberinger2606 Thanks for your sympathy. But I'm just grateful to Ewen McColl to write such a powerful ballad that can take me back all those years to instantly remember. The greatest sadness would to be for me to forget her.
The first time ever I saw your face I thought the sun rose in your eyes And the moon and stars were the gifts you gave To the dark and the empty skies my love To the dark and the empty skies The first time ever I kissed your mouth I felt the earth move in my hand Like the trembling heart of a captive bird That was there at my command my love That was there at my command The first time ever I held you near And felt your heartbeat close to mine I thought our joy would fill the world And would last till the end of time my love And would last till the end of time
Wow I noticed there's a lot of people who put thumbs down . I can only imagine that those people , don't have a clue about music , possibly can't play or think they can do better ! When they don't understand about the time it was sung . Nor the true feeling of song ! Thanks Peter , Paul and Mary . How beautiful to hear class
My first record album was peter, paul & mary and I found them an inspiration for the folk guitar and harmonies. Now, 54 years later, I forgive those who can not understand that lyrics, music and harmony fly high above the tripe offered as music today.
@@patrickjensen9824 I love most music , love the music a little more , because there was more heart and meaning ! Not just made up because of something meaningless that happened in there life . Look up Courtney hadwin on RUclips . I believe you will appreciate her brilliance . Thanks for your comment . Have a good day
@@julianlawrence-ball2279 well you obviously must have put thumbs down . Don't there are people who have no idea !! I'm sure there's some crap music that you think is good !! Like at kinda . That's fine , quality isn't for everyone . Enjoy your music
Ewan MacColl used a similar phrase in his beautiful and descriptive song "Sweet Thames Flow Softly" "At London Yard I held her hand At Blackwall Point I faced her At the Isle of Dogs I kissed her mouth And tenderly embraced her" It's a story of a man falling in love as he makes his way down the river with his new found love, only to see the love gently slip away as the river meets the tide and heads off to sea!! ruclips.net/video/zmn5pOxb2iM/видео.html
Rest in peace Mary Travers, we all miss you. Thank you Noel & Peter for giving us this terrific performance with Mary which will long be your legacy together. I am glad I got to meet and interact with the three of you in New Orleans 30+ years ago. That was a night my wife and I will never forget.
Mary Travers wasn't the lead singer. She was an add-on brought in to broaden the duo's appeal. She had trouble singing with Peter and Paul at first because unlike them she wasn't a trained singer. When she first joined the group all she did was backup vocals. She was brought in at first mainly for her appearance.
Mystical song as well one of the best love songs. I was raised in a lost kind of Catholicism, with spiritual joy the longed for experience of seeing God's face, consumed in universal and personal love,. I think every heartfelt love song arises from the soul, and is a blessing for all to hear.
Mary T. makes any song she sings in live, breathe, take on a life of its own, & become magical, majestic , heavenly... thx for all the songs & memories Mary T... *R.i.P.*
He was actually born and raised in England by Scottish parents. He is also the father of Kirsty McColl and wrote Dirty Old Town, made famous by The Pogues.
Three voices. That were are pure magic I saw them in small clubs and Carnegie hall and peace marches. They could perform with mikes and still sound wonderful
If cameron ever reads this, know that I'll always love you no matter what. you are a gift beyond measure, a precious soul connection that I cannot bear thinking of being without. you are mine and I am yours, my love. I will always be yours, and I pray you will always choose to be mine.
i have had the rare good fortune to have met a few dozen of my film and music heroes when I was younger...Little Richard, Candy Candido, Merry Anders, Richard Boone, Michael Landon, and Peter Yarrow among them. I met Peter in the parking lot of the Sand Castle in Malibu and talked with him briefly about his music. He was a fine gentleman...and gentle man....and i thoroughly enjoyed telling him about the impact his music had made on me. I think this is, by far, the best version of this song ever recorded...no vocal tricks and run, jus a clear, plaintive message.
Mary was taken from all of us too, too early! What a special folk trio! Thank you PP and M for all your music through the years ... time moves forward and your music with time!!
Mary was just so beautiful. She sounded like an angel from heaven. So clean so pure. So soft and so womanly. There is a kindness and sentiment in those eyes. A true woman and so absolutely rare these days.
They were the sounds of my youth as my mother played guitar and sang all their songs and my cousins came up from Newton ma and played on holidays. Folk music was the thing back then and Mom played beautiful guitar and sang wonderful. Gosh I cherish those memories.
This takes me back to the night I fell in love with my former wife. After the all the loves of my life, she's still the one. Sadly, it ended after 2o years. I miss her now at 75 years old.
How sad we don't see it at the time. The one person ... we pick fights over silly things and lose them.... many many years later we understand ... had we just been a little more patient .. a little more understanding .. a little less selfish ... we too may have seen our days out in the company of that one ... and only one ... most wonderful person
Very sad world we live in, we only get a short time on this earth, we go through enough pain in our lifes with our close family and our past friends who have passed away, why oh why can't we just live life in peace, and do away with all the suffering of war, so sad, seems it will never change.
Only sad when we focus on the bad things and cling to the past - we are surrounded by beauty and love, my friend. Embrace them every chance you get and hold tightly. I send you a big, virtual hug, Glen.
I was struck by how purely angelic Mary looks from the very beginning through when she begins singing. Then I still see glimpses of her angelic bearing throughout the song. Then I saw your comment, Mr. Donohoe, and totally agreed. Mary Travers, Karen Carpenter and Jackie Evancho touch me with their music.

'Journey of Souls' by (the late) Dr Michael Newton, is about our 'life between lives' which many of us believe is our real home where we return to reside with our loved ones.
An eternity of waiting in life, so it seems, to be reunited forever afterwards. The sweet addiction of the brightest light, true love.
What a beautiful love story, Meta! And I'm so sorry that you lost your husband -- it can be such a tough journey, and hopefully those wonderful memories of your life keep a glow in your heart now. The song just takes my breath away. This version and Roberta Flack's version are amazing and they conjure up so many intense feelings and memories.
Pure talent. No costumes, no dancing, no gimmicks, no special effects. Just talent.
Thanks Linda for checking in.
electricity, microphones amd speakers, aww, i don't care........loved them.
I agree
Yes--Julie--the first time, still haunts this 77-year-old man to this day--RIP dear one. This song brought a tears to my eyes. Can't wait to I see you again--and that beautiful smile.

I so agree with you. They were incredible, singly and as a group.
If only that where so/Petter yarrow the covert pedophile rapist/its a lovely head in the sand thought/but not true!
Ye, I feel kinda honored to have grown up with this music playing.
No smoke and mirrors, just brilliance and class.
real three-part harmony, and a belief in the message
The last time I saw them, M, wasn't looking so good, but the energy was still there.
I so appreciate this. I was too young when it was popular, now I get to appreciate the art and talent. So beautiful!
Debra Miller: We need more brilliance and class like that now plus less smoke and mirrors!!
Smoke & mirrors are used in place of talent & passion...
The most beautiful of songs. Growing up in the sixties was good. Nothing better
did not know its origin! raised in the 70's. so much of my music came before me. i love the original songs and voices before auto tune. the swifties and their minion mother is just appaling.
Growing up in the 80s, to me, nothing better, all times to all people bring tears and smiles and is the best
Wasn't she BEAUTIFUL!! And one of the most haunting clear voices of the 20th century. (Another being Karen Carpenter) Both of whom Rest in Peace!
yes her and Karen Carpenter were possibly the greatest singers of a generation
KyranI an Geraghty my two favourites, both bring me to tears with their hauntingly beautiful voices.
I can't believe she was ever that small, from that point her weight exploded beyond control, bad diet and on the road all those early years.
GoatDriver Ram she looks like Niko
On the one hand, I am happy to hearing it, on the other hand, I am so sad for the artists passed away...

I attended that concert
No computer nonsense, just pure magic. Lovely voices blended together, a gift to us all.
Love when cash sang it also
yup, no auto-tune

You nailed it in so few words.
I am so glad that RUclips allows us to remember such wonderful music.
I’ve been married to my wife for nearly 60 years and I still think of her when I hear this song.
My lovely Jo died 21 years ago and this song always reminds me of the first time we met in 1997. I still miss her.
You are very fortunate to still have such love and to have had this for 60 years thus far!
That’s lovely!
Married to my husband for 37 years and together as a couple for 40 years. So blessed and grateful to have such a love in my life.

You won't see him again. You will go to another road, wonted, or not.

They don’t make love songs like this anymore.
They were such an amazing group. Active in social justice and incredible musicians.
Hello,how are you doing?
You're right, I think. Sincerity can't be manufactured; it's honest and undiluted by life's experiences.
Social justice is a scourge upon our land.
A commie snake. Like D , etc..
Wake up!
Not enough things soothe the soul in 2022. This absolutely does. Thank you PP+M.
I wanted to post a comment, but yours spoke perfectly to how this performance makes me feel. No need to add anything.
A truly beautiful woman singing a beautiful song.... Nothing else needed!
This group marked my childhood with its marvelous melodies, its poetic lyrics and at the same time of protests.
Thanks Arnaldo for visiting the channel.

Interesting hearing this. It´s kind of halfway between the very trad folk McColl original and the sultry soul version immortalized by Roberta Flack.
I love this rendition. It just flows like two people totally in love. Hand in hand looking into each others' eyes. I'll be married 42 years this month and I still feel this way about my wife. I get chills when she comes in.

The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and stars were the gifts you gave
To the dark and the empty skies my love
To the dark and the empty skies
The first time ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move in my hand
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there at my command my love
That was there at my command
The first time ever I held you near
And felt your heartbeat close to mine
I thought our joy would fill the world
And would last till the end of time my love
And would last till the end of time
Simply breathtaking. The harmony, the lyrics, the music. This is what music should be.

I can only imagine that those people , don't have a clue about music , possibly can't play or think they can do better !
When they don't understand about the time it was sung . Nor the true feeling of song !

In those days singers could sing and musicians could play. Peter, Paul and Mary epitomized this musicianship.

“the first time ever I kissed your mouth” is such a beautiful expression of love. Wonderful.
Losing someone through death , this is such an emotional declaration of memories and love.

That line made me wonder as a young boy, what kissing Mary Travers would be like. It’s a thought still with me though I’m nearly 70.
I totally agree. At age75 I still think of kissing Mary Travis

"At London Yard I held her hand
At Blackwall Point I faced her
At the Isle of Dogs I kissed her mouth
And tenderly embraced her"

This is beautiful music of the 60, and 70, they don't,make music like this no more.
Hello,how are you doing?
The first time I heard this MASTERPIECE was in 1972 (52 years ago). I was awed by Roberta Flack's flawless delivery, simply awed.
This is first time I've heard this rendition..Roberta does it beautifully..but I must say the harmonies are also beautiful..
Mary's voice is so calming, so beautiful.
History repeats itself
Special lyrics! .... Always beautiful!
the greatest trio of all time no one even close
RIP to music icon Ms. Olivia Newton John. . .From the Philippines
Such a beautiful song. ❤
Mary had it all. This trio plays it as well as it can be done. A word for the bass player also, who really compliments the song. Fantastic.
Timeless, simply amazing and oh so beautiful! Loved this trio!❤️❤️❤️

Hello,how are you doing?
Mystical song as well one of the best love songs. I was raised in a lost kind of Catholicism, with spiritual joy the longed for experience of seeing God's face, consumed in universal and personal love,. I think every heartfelt love song arises from the soul, and is a blessing for all to hear.
Peter Paul and Mary had such great harmonies. To bad such music is not done today.
Mary T. makes any song she sings in live, breathe, take on a life of its own, & become magical, majestic , heavenly... thx for all the songs & memories Mary T...

One of the most beautiful songs and the best version
The best version, without doubt, is Roberta Flack's 1969..
Even as a little kid I always had a crush on Mary. Almost 70 and still do.
Ditto, my friend.
Never in my life did I ever suspect that, Roberta Flacks most memorable and most iconic songs was written, by a Scottish song writer !!! WOW.
He was actually born and raised in England by Scottish parents. He is also the father of Kirsty McColl and wrote Dirty Old Town, made famous by The Pogues.
@@michaelcowen1000 thought the name was familiar. Flacks version is indeed iconic but this is a damn good version to
I just can't get enough of these songs. It brings back memories of when I was just 7 yrs old and listening to them on a record player. 54 now in 2024.
What a lucky woman to have someone write a song like that for you.
There will never be a group like Peter Paul and Mary that excited and involved their audiance when they performed.
Three voices. That were are pure magic
I saw them in small clubs and Carnegie hall and peace marches. They could perform with mikes and still sound wonderful

Thank you for the gift.
If cameron ever reads this, know that I'll always love you no matter what. you are a gift beyond measure, a precious soul connection that I cannot bear thinking of being without. you are mine and I am yours, my love. I will always be yours, and I pray you will always choose to be mine.
This never gets old
Beautiful beyond words. Beautiful beyond words....
I just sat here alone with the lights dimmed for a while after listening to this ,
Beautiful
i have had the rare good fortune to have met a few dozen of my film and music heroes when I was younger...Little Richard, Candy Candido, Merry Anders, Richard Boone, Michael Landon, and Peter Yarrow among them. I met Peter in the parking lot of the Sand Castle in Malibu and talked with him briefly about his music. He was a fine gentleman...and gentle man....and i thoroughly enjoyed telling him about the impact his music had made on me. I think this is, by far, the best version of this song ever recorded...no vocal tricks and run, jus a clear, plaintive message.
Thank you so much for sharing
The all time best version of this song. The guitar accompaniment is exquisite and the harmonies just perfect.
This is good, but the definitive version must be by Roberta Flack.
The version by Gordon Lightfoot with just an acoustic guitar and voice is my favorite.
I thought they f*d it up pretty good. Essholes
@@Rob-fs8vq F yeah man, no comparison with these freaks
No chance . Roberta owns this. Nothing comes remotely close to it. You need to sort your ears out.
I've never seen them before. Gorgeous and skilful harmonies. Mary is a beauty too.
She was to her last performance!! Those eyes! That blonde mane!❤
Mary was taken from all of us too, too early! What a special folk trio! Thank you PP and M for all your music through the years ... time moves forward and your music with time!!
How lucky to have met this song writer
I thank my Mom for introducing me to this music. It is now a part of me.
Mary was just so beautiful. She sounded like an angel from heaven. So clean so pure. So soft and so womanly. There is a kindness and sentiment in those eyes. A true woman and so absolutely rare these days.
eloquently put! I agree
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SONG EVER.
Wonderful... Hard to describe the yearning to times when -- singing was real.
I agree, but Miley's song flowers is the best I've heard for some time. She can sing.
this is the most beautiful song ever!
They were the sounds of my youth as my mother played guitar and sang all their songs and my cousins came up from Newton ma and played on holidays. Folk music was the thing back then and Mom played beautiful guitar and sang wonderful. Gosh I cherish those memories.
This takes me back to the night I fell in love with my former wife. After the all the loves of my life, she's still the one. Sadly, it ended after 2o years. I miss her now at 75 years old.
So sad my heart goes out for you l hope you will be okay God bless you ❤
Look after your self that wants in portent👍
There are some people we miss forever. Keep well
How sad we don't see it at the time. The one person ... we pick fights over silly things and lose them.... many many years later we understand ... had we just been a little more patient .. a little more understanding .. a little less selfish ... we too may have seen our days out in the company of that one ... and only one ... most wonderful person
My story even to the length of the marriage.
Mary, I love your voice, your passion, and your hair. Rest in peace, beautiful lady.
This soulful rendition is a revelation! So gentle, so harmonious.
Yes, they really were that good.
At 68 years old it still stands as a favorite of mine.
Very sad world we live in, we only get a short time on this earth, we go through enough pain in our lifes with our close family and our past friends who have passed away, why oh why can't we just live life in peace, and do away with all the suffering of war, so sad, seems it will never change.
Only sad when we focus on the bad things and cling to the past - we are surrounded by beauty and love, my friend. Embrace them every chance you get and hold tightly. I send you a big, virtual hug, Glen.
RIP beautiful Mary, your wonderful music will live on!
i never knew she died..damn
almost not the work of humans...angels maybe. What a thing of beauty this is. I am humbled to have heard and watched it
+Paul Donohoe Thanks Paul for checking out the site & for sharing your thoughts.
Yes, truly a thing of angels. Wish my children's generation understood how great.
+Robi D I don't know how old your kids are, but I'm 28 (a millenial), and I think this is just perfection.
I was struck by how purely angelic Mary looks from the very beginning through when she begins singing. Then I still see glimpses of her angelic bearing throughout the song. Then I saw your comment, Mr. Donohoe, and totally agreed. Mary Travers, Karen Carpenter and Jackie Evancho touch me with their music.
well put Paul impressive comment
I miss my father 3ys passed mother plays this and Cry. But not of lost but of love I'd like to believe.
She was the best - amazing voice!!
