Cuando oyes la canción con Marlene dietrich, entiendes la furia que dan las guerras... Con pete seeger parece más asumirlas con pena, pero no veo rabia
This song I listened to as a baby, in 1972 to 73. This man, Pete was one of my earliest influences. The song will always bring sadness and comfort to me.
I'm an old man that stood against war and strife going back to when this song was new. I do wish there were more Pete Seegers to follow in his footsteps. From where I look, I see only cynicism and indifference, it greatly saddens me.

Both Pete and Peggy Seegers had been the voice of peace! Nobel Prize is too feeble to define their values! I, for one, had witnessed their most captivating performance in the basement of Union Tavern at King's X, London, in late sixties! What a joyous recollection !

I'm Haitian living, I'm 30. I fell on this wonderful, peaceful, revolutionary man two years ago. Ever since I can't stop listening to his songs. This generation needs people like him.
I’m young, too. And I feel the same. I believe music and singing are supposed to be beautiful and have meaning. So I pretty much have to go back in time to find anything worth listening to.
I used to sail out of Beacon, and he was involved with the sloop club there. I don’t agree with all his politics, but his heart, enthusiasm, and warmth were unmatched. Even as an old man, he was the first in line at the club to get to work!
First heard this in 1968 at age 7 - was so moved with emotion at such a young age - such a profound message that has never been for forgotten. Now 50 years later still brings tears to my eyes.
For me at was a few years earlier in English, but in Germany . It was very popular as far back as I can remember much of anything which would be about 1964
U R so right. Bob Dylan got it sirca 2016. With due respect for the Panel and their rationale I would make it shorter: if only for his "The Answer is Blowin' in the Wind". But Bob fathered this beautiful creation much later than Pete. Nobody's perfect, High Commands, Panels and Juries included. Even Tempora with their respective Mores.
RUclips is full of countless amazing musical virtuosity but when all is said and done/ It's The Song, It's The Song , It's The Song that one is remembered for !!!###
HOW VERY HUMBLING for me. I MET Pete Seeger in my college years (1980's) after attending his fund-raising concert in the San Francisco Bay Area. A truly amazing (and yet VERY HUMBLE gentleman). This was almost a "perfect closure" for me since we lost him not too many years later. I got both a photo of US AND his autograph for my parents.. our family was RAISED on his (and the WEAVERS') music. Our mom was a folk music singer / guitarist as well as a teacher (schools also). Within the year that the WOODSTOCK movie came out, our family attended the TRIBUTE TO WOODY GUTHRIE concert at the Hollywood Bowl. On stage were: Pete Seeger, Arlo Guthrie, Joan Baez, Odetta, Richie Havens, Country Joe MacDonald (just to name a few). BTW.. this recording can be found on RUclips (parts also at a similar production done in New York).
When we will ever learn? Well, it seems that the world is not understanding in which trouble we are. This song is was written in 1858 and is perfectly describing our current complicated times. Pete you did a great job with this song - RIP.
I was born in 1966 at the age of 10 i heard Peter singing this song and said mam whos that signing and whats the song about she said if you want to no a song listening to the words for the words tell a story .ever since then i got hooked into folk music of those days and still listen.pity music today dosent tell stories from those days of music of stories long time passed but not forgotten. Rest in Peace peter and to those gone but not forgotten Amen🙏🕊🦋🌻🌷🌹
What a great song! The '60s were a true decade of awakening, even when it only was an attempt, it left such a great bunch of goodies for us. Now that another awakening is due. History seems to repeat itself, but there is a time not far in the future where we will listen and truly learn. And act on it.
One of the great Americans of his time and truly a citizen of the world. He was so far ahead of the pack when it came to women's rights, the struggle against racism, protection of the environment, opposition to war and so on. Of course, he paid a price for that, but never took a step backwards.
Have we learned? It seems not yet. It seems we need to listen more. Find joy and simple content, and peace may find us yet. Powerful words and music lives on even though these wonderful people have moved on like the flowers. May the hearts desire for peace be what we achieve. Tom~ 2022 age 60

I used to listen to this beautiful song in the 1960s and cried every time. And then as Pete Seeger says Marlene Dietrich sang it and she broke your heart. So it doesn't matter what language it is sung in, it still has the same meaning and it still makes you weep.
I think one of the greatest strengths of this song is that its apparent simplicity allows it to be fairly easily translated into other languages without losing any of its impact... I grew up with the Czech version. I think - I'm no longer sure but I'm fairly certain - that, as our mother sang various Czech folk songs to us as children, this one also slipped in.
@Sunny bob Quackers I knew the rough shape of that history but not all the details, thanks. There is a Czech folk _verse_ (not song) with a similar "storyline", too, which only helps this song feel entirely at home.
I WAS 23 years old then....how did I live to be where I am today 42 years later....and this world??? what a shame it has become..............RIP great man.
I heard this song first in 1971 in Leeds, while attending a Children's International Summer Village Camp. It was taught to us by my awesome friend, William "Bill" Osborne of Ottawa, Canada.
I sang this yesterday in the Remembrance Assembly, a song I learned in Primary School. Most of our kids here in Colombia love reggaeton, so it was lovely to share a melody with beautiful words, the like most of them have never heard. I was so nervous because it's so uncool, but many of them liked it, so that's great.
ich wusste bis heute nicht, dass der Song von Peter Seeger ist. Ein so wunderschöner Song, den ich bislang nur von MD kannte, die diesen hervorragenden interpretierte. Sie wusste, was Krieg bedeutet.
I accidently ran into Pete Seeger on his property in Beacon NY in the early 90s because it was an abandoned log home we use to hang out as kids. So myself and a friend went to hang out there while snowboarding and he came out the door and asked if he could help us, and we didn't know anyone had bought the house, so we apologized and he laughed and said it's ok, would you two like some hot chocolate? So we sat and drank hot chocolate with Pete Seeger and were didn't even know who he was, but he was very pleasant and very friendly
Yes, I do love that old fashioned, gracious way of greeting a stranger " on the place". My dad was of Petes generation, he said the exact same words when a friend of mine accidentally opened the wrong door when going to bed one night. Dad, in bed in the dark..."can I help you?" In gentle tones. (We were visiting)
The early 70's with flower children not knowing how much work it takes to care for flowers....but more importantly the building of soil. The work it takes to fight against the military machine , the social problems from poverty to racism. Somehow I spent myself...to lay by the hour in my body which now is my cage...I guess I never learned to fight for my own peace, my own body.
If you don't like Pete Seeger after this performance, you are either deaf, daft or in need of hospital, as far as protest singers go, he's so far above everyone else, and Dylan and Baez admired him greatly. Thank you sir Pete Seeger.
Listening this here in quarantine. Turned 20 this March. And I have had a dream since childhood to live for a 100 years because I always felt that world had so much to explore that I would need 100 years to see and feel it all. But my naivety or stupidity, I never realised that I won't always stay young and before reaching 100 I'll be all those numbers in between. Where has the sweet world I knew gone? where is my love for it? And I don't know but somewhere before 20 someday I lost the girl who dreamt of living a century with purpose. But do we ever know when we lose our old selves and grow into new ones? If I knew during the process I would perhaps stop the change. I don't really remember what I used to be like when I was a child, what kind of thoughts I had and now I'm more contemplative overwhelmed by my own emotions sometimes but I feel overall perhaps this wasn't what the young me had imagined to grow into. Ahhh...Where has she gone?
pearl nuri , fundamentally you are NOT the person you were 7 years ago as molecules replace so keep a diary for reminiscing and expect to change. Be it hormonal or situation change but change there will be. I've found the old people who can remember get bitter they can't 'do' anymore and the senile laugh at butterflies.... who's happiest? I used to think that experience and memory was so important but no, it's being positive and enjoying the day that works best. So smile, life is good and you only got 1
pearl nuri time is on the side of those who do not worry but rejoice in every day I too have had many dreams to achieve things and explore the places near me. I will meet each dream at its timing. Do not give up and keep looking up as follow them dreams! Walk by faith , not sight..
@@SpaldingFraser hello Kate! Actually I do keep diary. I love it and I tell almost everyone to keep one. But I haven't written in too long. I'll write. Do you also keep diary? Also that part about old people ....wow what an example. I say 20 is still young when you have to love for a century. Thank you for your words. They make my morning better . I feel energetic now. Stay safe!
@@n.ll.5529 hello to you. When I read your message I felt as if I should live courageously. I like what you wrote in the end. It suddenly made me feel as if it's not a race to the end. Maybe I was rushing.l'll follow your advice and I'll take time to do everything, one dream at a time. You too keep it up and if you ever feel down come here. Stay safe. These are hard times.
I am 31 years old I dont remember not listening to Petes music. When Pete sang it was an angel giving him his voice. Pete will never die. He may be dead physically but he will live on through his music forever and this is the time in the world of suffering were he is needed most.
Yes, Pete Seeger really did deserve the Nobel Peace Prize more than a lot of other people that received it well maybe not a lot but if you if I recall correctly one of our presidents a while back got it I never understood why cuz I didn't see what he had done for peace anyway I love the music Pete Seeger.
I first heard this song 57 years ago. I was a young army cadet at summer camp; practising the military arts and Civil Defence. We all thought nuclear war was on the horizon and we had to be prepared to do our duty. I went on to serve 26 years in the Canadian army. The whole time we were in the "Cold War" ; doing our best to keep it from becoming a "Hot War". The World experienced many other significant conflicts and wars during my years of service and beyond; Viet Nam, Iraq and Afghanistan to name a few. It would seem soldiers understand the sad reality of these words but so many politicians and o called leaders just don't get it. I am not bitter but I am tired. I have done the best I can and all my children have served as well; I wonder if it was all in vain. Can someone please record this song again; I feel the World needs to hear it once again.
@Edward Gross Where you gettin' your history from? And you clearly consider Pete a lunatic if you think ways solve wars. Fucking for celibacy, anyone? Notice even the OP can't say it was worth it?
I think this was probably the first folk song I ever memorized and sang. Classic. Where have all the political songs gone? (Don't worry. I have one coming out next year myself.)
I visited a pub on the Isle of Bute in Scotland this evening and there was a Dutchman playing an accordion. He broke into this tune and it took me back so many years. It is still as poignant as it was when I was a young man 60 years ago. When I got home I just had to look it up on U Tube
Nah, the song is very moving from one war to the next: WW1, WW2, Vietnam war, to Iraq, Syria but meaning of the song trace back to German original, when young men go to war, they never comes back It different from American version , their soldiers never died!!!
@@JC-tv5zx as you think that, it was Ukraine who started this war in 2014, and despite promising to end it when being elected, zelensky merely escalated. An inconvenient truth, but a truth nonetheless

Mesmerising! Absolutely beautiful. The song still resonates in 2024!! The world has still not learnt...very sad.
RIP Pete Seeger (May 3, 1919 - January 27, 2014), aged 94
You will be remembered as a legend.
Another Pete Seeger is needed now!

This takes me back, way back! Tears in my eyes, this song really touched me today as I am 69 forever & lost many friends to patriotic duty!

❤.lam also 66.the same feelings as yours and Tears in my eyes.
This is one of the saddest songs ever. So simple and so profound. If they could just give a war… and no one would show. Then we all will win.
All wars are banker's wars, as General Smedley said "All wars are a racket" 911 was another job by the same crooks blamed on a Caveman in Afghanistan.

The simplest but for me the best song ever written....the message is there for all to take note of
I first heard this song 57 years ago. I was a young army cadet at summer camp; practising the military arts and Civil Defence. We all thought nuclear war was on the horizon and we had to be prepared to do our duty. I went on to serve 26 years in the Canadian army. The whole time we were in the "Cold War" ; doing our best to keep it from becoming a "Hot War". The World experienced many other significant conflicts and wars during my years of service and beyond; Viet Nam, Iraq and Afghanistan to name a few.
It would seem soldiers understand the sad reality of these words but so many politicians and o called leaders just don't get it. I am not bitter but I am tired. I have done the best I can and all my children have served as well; I wonder if it was all in vain.
Can someone please record this song again; I feel the World needs to hear it once again.
Let us all keep singing for him ..
@Edward Gross Where you gettin' your history from? And you clearly consider Pete a lunatic if you think ways solve wars. Fucking for celibacy, anyone?
Notice even the OP can't say it was worth it?
@Edward Gross are you sure?
Wow...was one year old but heard the song as a teenager
Superb offering--song's still being composed...
it one of the songs i played when i started to play gitar 1968 i stil play it now that iam 70 yrs old
Vielen Dank.
Great rendition, Pete. God bless Ur Soul.
We will never learn.....not anymore at this point.
Rendition, it's his song.
Yeah!
This is one of those timeless songs, always relevant. I first listened to the Peter Paul and Mary version in the 1960"s, but I love all versions.
The songs of this era spoke to our hearts and our basic humanity.
We need songs like this for today as well.
We need more music like this. We miss u pete. Rip
I have always loved this song and feel we will never learn.
He has such a beautiful voice and such expression.
LOVE THIS - Great childhood memory 🏩
Quality never fades as the past merges into the present. Everyday was yesterday, and today. Peace.
Great Song and Great Singer Forever , Bravo !
I think this was probably the first folk song I ever memorized and sang. Classic. Where have all the political songs gone? (Don't worry. I have one coming out next year myself.)
I saw Pete do this at Mariposa 3 years later. A country troubadour we were blessed to have.
I visited a pub on the Isle of Bute in Scotland this evening and there was a Dutchman playing an accordion. He broke into this tune and it took me back so many years. It is still as poignant as it was when I was a young man 60 years ago. When I got home I just had to look it up on U Tube
She will hear our prayers...,
una voce splendida per una canzone indimenticabile
The voice of the American revolution - just amazing in its simplicity and impact. Still makes my skin crawling...
We need more Pete Seegers in the World
Still brings tears to my eyes, and now it has new meaning in Ukraine
Nah, the song is very moving from one war to the next: WW1, WW2, Vietnam war, to Iraq, Syria but meaning of the song trace back to German original, when young men go to war, they never comes back
It different from American version , their soldiers never died!!!
@@simonkelly9013 American soldiers wait to come home and die from suicide and pharmaceutical poisoning.
@@simonkelly9013 War is human bullshit...
Slava Ukrainji 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
@@JC-tv5zx as you think that, it was Ukraine who started this war in 2014, and despite promising to end it when being elected, zelensky merely escalated. An inconvenient truth, but a truth nonetheless
You mean in Russia...
