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.
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!
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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 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. 👍❤️
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.
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.
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.
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!)
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
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.
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
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!!
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.

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.*
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.
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
I attended a Peter Paul & Mary Concert in N. Carolina in 1964 when I was in the U.S. Army stationed at Ft. Bragg, N.C.. Most fantastic singing I had ever heard. I kept hoping the concert would never end and just go on forever. I will never forget that memorable night. U.S. Army, Ret. TX
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
So poignant, so loving. I can feel the joy that must surely have filled Ewan MacColl's heart as he penned this beautiful tribute. Beautiful song, tenderly performed...just wonderful.
2:45 this is my first time hearing this version of Peter Paul and Mary do this song... I have to say that my first favorite singer though is Roberta Flack.. her version of the song kills me. This has its own sweet, folk-y flavor to it.. which is beautiful in its own right..❤
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.
@@potdog1000 If it makes you feel better, I can truthfully add that they sounded every bit as good as their records, so just play your faves, close your eyes, and visualise their presence.
@@katbowl9971 I also saw PP&M years ago in concert, and I didn't go to many concerts. I saw them in the old Island Garden in West Hempstead NY in '67 or '68. It was heaven! Halfway thru at intermission I thought it was over, but my old friend who I was with said no, it's only half over! Wow... more heaven, I thought!
Saw them in concert in high school. They were so good live. Such a big part of the early folk song era. All you needed was a guitar, a few chords and you could sing a beautiful song. PPM were stellar. Pitch perfect and vibrant with such a great raport between them.
These three were the sound of my youth. I was fortunate enough to see PP&M live a few years back. Their voices were still so compelling. I miss Mary so much.
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.
A beautiful song, from a wonderful group. Bring back the old days when millions of dollars did not come first, but amazing singing and music mattered most just like this song.Thanks for uploading.
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.

'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.

I agree
And no one was screaming

and she's not cute like most chicks she a beauty
Such a beautiful articulation of the impact Mary and the group had on my life l Thank you, Michael.
Folk songs never fade...I'm 63 now I used to sing this song when I was in college....
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.

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.
Not only America ,here in Europe aswell
People were just gentler then, so elegant and low key chic. What a pure, beautiful song and such lovely humans.

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.

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...
One of the best folk singing groups ever in my opinion.👍👍
A truly beautiful woman singing a beautiful song.... Nothing else needed!
Interesting hearing this. It´s kind of halfway between the very trad folk McColl original and the sultry soul version immortalized by Roberta Flack.
She had wonderful contralto voice, almost a tenor. A most beautiful female vocal range! I grew up with these recordings in the 60's
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.
Sixty plus years later and it does't get much better than this.
I remember, last there! ❤️💛💚👊🏼

“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.
No smoke and mirrors, just brilliance and class.
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
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"

She had the most powerful voice of any woman ever. A sad day when we lost her. So happy I got to see them live.
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...
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 and classic talent.
Thanks for checking in with us.
1969 went to work for United Airline...this was our graduation song. Wow! Sure brings back lots of memories...some good, some not good....ie Virtnam

RIP beautiful Mary, your wonderful music will live on!
i never knew she died..damn
Mary is gone now ; we shall never see her again ;; Her music will live on for ever;; RIP my dear;;

Statements like yours seem final.very sad.i often think like that.i agree with you.
There is a spirit world so you will see her again
Whose we?
The "Mary Travers" queue in the spirit world is bound to be long..
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.

She was stunning and could've easily been a movie star. And that heavenly voice on top of it. They don't make them like her very often.

*R.i.P.*
P.S. : I still grieve the loss of Mary Travers. She had a voice like no other. Brilliant !
And now Peter is gone too
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.
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
Beautiful beyond words. Beautiful beyond words....
Beautiful song. It reminds me of the first time ever I saw my wife to be face.
I attended a Peter Paul & Mary Concert in N. Carolina in 1964 when I was in the U.S. Army stationed at Ft. Bragg, N.C.. Most fantastic singing I had ever heard. I kept hoping the concert would never end and just go on forever. I will never forget that memorable night. U.S. Army, Ret. TX
Thanks Richard for your service and for tuning in.
Mary Travers' voice is so beautiful. And the 3 of them together just perfect.
One of the most beautiful songs to be sung..ever!
This soulful rendition is a revelation! So gentle, so harmonious.
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
The Seekers

this is the most beautiful song ever!
Such beautiful harmonising - something we have lost since back then.
Lovely. Uplifting.
Mary, I love your voice, your passion, and your hair. Rest in peace, beautiful lady.
So poignant, so loving. I can feel the joy that must surely have filled Ewan MacColl's heart as he penned this beautiful tribute. Beautiful song, tenderly performed...just wonderful.
Awesome lyrics, takes us back nostalgically to our adolescent angst when most of us valued song and cheer above gold , so long.....
Beautiful
Beatiful music and the harmony . Wonderful.
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.
2:45 this is my first time hearing this version of Peter Paul and Mary do this song... I have to say that my first favorite singer though is Roberta Flack.. her version of the song kills me. This has its own sweet, folk-y flavor to it.. which is beautiful in its own right..❤
Just fabulous. The combination of a nylon and steel strung guitar is amazing and coupled with the voice of Mary Travers is amazing. So beautiful.
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 gave me chills. Beautiful people, beautiful song, beautifully sung.
I had the privilege of seeing PPM in concert many Years ago and they were unbelievably magical.
I am jealous lol
@@potdog1000 If it makes you feel better, I can truthfully add that they sounded every bit as good as their records, so just play your faves, close your eyes, and visualise their presence.
I got to see them, too. Many years ago. Such a great concert.
@@katbowl9971 I also saw PP&M years ago in concert, and I didn't go to many concerts. I saw them in the old Island Garden in West Hempstead NY in '67 or '68. It was heaven! Halfway thru at intermission I thought it was over, but my old friend who I was with said no, it's only half over! Wow... more heaven, I thought!
@@kevinrussell6530 That's great! Lots of cool memories.
Saw them in concert in high school. They were so good live. Such a big part of the early folk song era. All you needed was a guitar, a few chords and you could sing a beautiful song. PPM were stellar. Pitch perfect and vibrant with such a great raport between them.
My dad recommended me to listen PPM's songs. I'm obsessed. I love how their voices blend perfectly. 😍 This is why I prefer old songs.
Yes, they really were that good.
Such a beautiful song. ❤
In those days singers could sing and musicians could play. Peter, Paul and Mary epitomized this musicianship.
Thanks for tuning in.
Brilliant! Peter, Paul and Mary were the greatest.
These three were the sound of my youth. I was fortunate enough to see PP&M live a few years back. Their voices were still so compelling. I miss Mary so much.
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.
Yet another pure performance by these gifted musicians
What a lucky woman to have someone write a song like that for you.
A beautiful song, from a wonderful group. Bring back the old days when millions of dollars did not come first, but amazing singing and music mattered most just like this song.Thanks for uploading.
Fabulous voices...all three ! We miss Mary !
The quality speaks for itself. Side note and personal opinion: Damn, Mary was beautiful!!!
For anybody born this century - This is what you can talent. No gimmicks.
I don’t stop listening to the 50s, 60s & 70 s music. Actually the 1940’s so full of love too...50’s fun music.
the greatest trio of all time no one even close
No collection of words I could imagine would accurately describe the beauty of this performance . . .
She was the best - amazing voice!!
Kudos to Ewan MacColl for his composition! The singers...Peter, Paul and Mary touch me most with their arrangement. Really like them all!
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.
Tears in my eyes. Love from France 💐
