ANYONE who could put a thumbs down to this incredibly beautiful performance simply does not understand true beauty‼️‼️‼️‼️
And also signifies what complete MORONS they are
100% agree
Totally agree ,makes me look back at our own lives.
Eveytime i watch this video,or hear this song, I cry. It is so beautiful. It is just how my life married to my husband of 57 yrs. was. In looking back, as hard as it was in the beginning, I would do it all over again. We were very young, and struggled financially. We managed to move past that, after yeas of struggling, and were still in love. He passed away 4 yrs ago, and I would do it all over again.

Reminds me of my mum and dad every time I hear this masterpiece. They started out penniless in the 60's with a baby, worked so hard and ended up with millions. But I can't help feeling they were happiest back then. But they're not, in reality. My dad reached retirement to enjoy his wealth from hard work and long hours, but sadly passed away too soon.
So this song I dedicate to his memory. ☹️
Yes my dear so so very sad. I also lost my mom, my dad and two husbands so I sympathize with your pain. There are no pockets in coffins but he is in a beautiful world now without pain if you are religious. Enjoy life my dear, it goes by so damn quickly. I know now 70 years old trust me.
Love this song and my husband and I started out without much. We attained a lot, but the best years were when we were young and working towards it.
I also miss the hungry years. I was happier when I was young and had very little. Things were simpler, life was sweet. I had good health and a love of life. I am now an old man who wants for nothing (except good health) I would be happy to go back to the hungry years.
I too am older but never too old to fall in love again perhaps. Never say never with good health and someone to be in your comfy bed with you.
Exactly what I want now.
That is so sad and so very poignant 😢
Am at a loss to understand how it is possible for Neil to not be already in the R&R Hall of fame. The poetry and depth of this song alone gives proof of his talent. Make it happen.
I can't believe it either
The r&r hof was formed in 1983. They should have inducted all those prior r&r stars immediately over the course of a few months. They’ve really embarrassed themselves with all the stars they’ve omitted.
You are absolutely right I did not know he was not in the Hall of Fame. Also Johnny Maestro one of the greatest voices that ever lived also should be with him and rock 'n' roll Hall of Fame. It's a shame.
I have always loved this song initially as a musician because of its structure and chord sequence, but as a middle aged man I now appreciate the message of the lyrics....a man who has achieved everything he aspired to in his youth, but realising it wasn't all it was cracked up to be and hungers for the simpler years of his youth....it's a lesson for us all
Beautiful song just love listening to it especially Neil Sedaka ❤xxxx
I too hunger for the simpler times of my youth back in the late 1970s.
Absolutely!!!!!
The Hungry Years "is a beautiful poignant ballad that stands as one of the most wonderful songs ever written by Neil Sedaka.
Yes I also can relate to this wonderful song written by one of the masters who grasps your heart and soul for I have lived the ballad many years ago. I too miss the hungry years for many years later after being divorced, and remarried I still miss him. Now a widow and alone being older now I still have memories of the loves in my life.
Neil Sedaka is a musical genius! The Hungry Years is a perfect example of his genius.
The most underrated, awesome ,singer songwriter of the 20th century
Thank you
Best ever
William Michael totally underrated

Oh how melodramatic. And so incorrect.
Since 1957 the guy made a shit ton of money and achieved a huge amount of fame. He was great, but stop lamenting already.
This man wrote some great songs , most people don't even know he wrote them.
The fact that Neil Sedaka and Connie Francis (who recorded a few of his songs) are not in the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame is a crime!
This will give you an idea how political it is
The hungry years are the best years of our lives , when we struggle with life then we are truly living it....I love this song for it reminds me to live in the moment because the moment passes and we can never get it back.
Your words are so true,!! ☘️☘️
@@junebermingham9300 Am 75 when suddenly the song enteredmy mind.I do not know the title. The modern technology helped me. Am happy crying.
@@mariaelenacumigad9988 Hi Marie Elena, This song is called THE HUNGRY YEARS, written and sung by NEIL SEDAKA, Yes it is a lovely song, makes us all want to cry, we struggle in our younger years , for materia!, things, when we get older, it seems unimportant! Take care ,Stay safe 💚☘️👍🇮🇪
Ii am 82 years young...when Neil came upon the scene so many years ago, there was too much going on...I l;oved him then but now, I positively adore him! I listen to his music throughout the day. If anyone should be inducted into the Rock and Roll Of Fame it's NEIL SEDAKA!!! Please make it happen....Neil I sing with you all day, every day...
He's to good for the Rock And Roll Hall Of SHAME.
mary martin ... I agree with you, and signed.
mary martin Know what you mean - I always liked his music when I was young, but now I can really appreciate what this man does with lyrics, plus his unique sound. Sad what young people are missing out on today.
@@whaszis he's 81 now and still performing for us today. Check out his melody of the day he posts on RUclips during the quarantine. 5/13/2020.
lovely .
One of the most underrated vocalists/song writers. Such a talent
No gimmicks , no autotune, just class! Great post thank you.
This man was, is and always will be the real deal. Masterly songwriter, a gorgeous voice and a superb performer.
I love this song I pray to God that they can find a cure for this virus that's going around the world my father loved this song he has passed away we all need to stand together and help the world I hope they can find a cure and we don't end up singing we missed the hungry years but my mum and dad said it was hard times then but the world was a much better time to 💓💓
Do not despair. Beauty is! Whether or not people recognize it, beauty is!
Your still here. Your dad wants you to be happy in your life. Be thankful your dad was nice and loving and try to keep up his outlook x
God bless you 💙
Geraldine so sorry for your loss. Stay safe 🙏 for the cure my love
Xx
There's a point when song lyrics become poetry without losing their function.
Takes me back.50 yrs when I lost the only man I ever loved. I will love him until my last breath.I miss our hungry years.

I relate this to my mum and myself. We were so, so close. I miss her with every fibre of my being. One day we'll be together again.
My Girl died thirty years ago. I have always been grateful for what we had. I just wish we had more of it. A lot more of it. Be well!
God bless you madam. I wish you all the best in life.
There just will not be any better. Arrangement, Vocal Diction, Performance, Completely & Utterly Superlative. Jon Vencato England.
Very true. Also, the lyrics are so clear and simple while saying so much. Even if English isn't your primary language, as was the case with this Dutch audience, the full meaning of each line comes through easily.
ex rafp?
Listened to this song all my life xxx
Yes carol it’s a BEAUTIFUL song
This songs really shows how music in this day age is not same quality great likes Neil Sedaka.You tell me at the moment how can you compare his talent to the talent these days?He is a genuis
He's the best solo singer songwriter of all time.. No doubt 💙
Totally agree
I'm crying listening to this thinking of my sweet young brother who passed away thanks for the memories Alan love you forever Albert Eric mags Ann Brian Lauren zac Craig and daryn keep us a place in that football team up there
Very few singers have the raw talent of Sedaka.. a classically beautiful voice that requires no bells or whistles to dress it up
The legendary Neil Sedaka.
This is so beautiful. Always makes me cry.
'Honey take me home, Let's go back to yesterday' ....wonderful lyrics that pull at the heartstrings.
I sure does for the words come straight from his heart and soul and so many of us can relate even now. Loosing love is like a death you never loose the memories just the person with whom you shared the love with.
One of the few truly talented singer songwriters left. He conquered adversity and came out stronger. Wonderful man.
No one in the whole world does a Neil Sedaka song better than he does, you hear the full meaning and emotion in every word from that great man. Thanks Neil.
As Neil said, you only get to write one of these in one lifetime. Beyond wonderful.
A man who touches your heart and soul with his words and melody. I applaud you Neil Sedaka.
he sure does sweety
SPOT ON DENISE. ...
I have loved him since i was 16 in 1964..Saw him in concert not long ago in my home town and met him after the show..what a great thrill that was!!!...he is still as good as he ever was!👍👌✌
What it takes to be a star: so confident and self-assertive. Only simple when one is a spectator. Think of what it means to be there alone, on your own: before an audience. Yet so in control.
No song is better than this on
He has the most beautiful golden voice I think I've ever heard in pop.He sings with ease just incredible & wonderful guy,who overcame hardship & believed in himself. He truly is a gift to us all on this planet. ❤️
This is another beautiful song by Sedaka.
This guy is a musical genius.
I love his stuff.
I love this song...
Such meaningful lyrics, gets better as one gets older and wiser.
And Neil still sounds great!
I just love Neil Sedaka I've grown up with him. So talented, just amazing. So nice to listen to a singer who can really sing these days.
Dawn Gallagher Great talent Dawn - so missing in today's music
Love this song, and I love the emotion he puts into it in this live version!! Simply beautiful!!
28 people have taken the time to listen to this classic song,and decided it was not worth listening to. People are strange. If you don't like it,just go elsewhere,quietly.
***** Point taken.
INDEED! Not like this..........?
he get's me every time.there's something in his voice that just brings out emotion you try to keep in.i cry alot when i listen to him.not many people can move me.and he certainly can
Perfection, pure and simple. I lost my Mum and Great Aunt a few months ago and now this song means so much more now than before.
It shows how fragile life is and can turn in an instance, just appreciate how good life is while you can.
Oh yes, I so agree if all would tell all those around them the love they feel.
My late dad's favourite song, now mines ❤. I certainly miss the hungry years with my terrific mum and dad x
Wow!!what a song,what a singer.Brilliant.❤️love you Neil.❤️
Everything you touch turns to gold,thank you for all the memories and Wonderful music..Neil Sedaka for the Rock and roll Hall Of fame..100% YES..It's where you belong..
Thank you Neil for the memories and the beautiful music. I have loved this song from the first time I ever heard it. You are so talented.
I've been privileged to see him twice at the City Hall in Sheffield, England. He was fantastic, staggeringly talented and comes across as a delightful person.
Wonderful talented musician! Fantastic writer! What a voice, just phenomenal!
agree totally one of the best of all time
absolutely...this song is soooo under rated...lovely song!!
could bring a tear to a glass eye
Well put!
He should definitely be inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame for sure ,I thought he was in already Please lets do something for this great talent
Aye he means it . look at his eyes !
he dont need that..
i can 100% relate to this beautiful song.
it has beautiful true meaningful lyrics Mauricio
He's 81 now and still performing for us today. Check out his melody of the day he posts on RUclips during the quarantine. 5/13/2020.
The man is a genius...saw him in Liverpool, everybody knew he is a rare talent and loved him.
I just heard him on a chat show in U.K. He's on tour. I had to visit here and get a fix. Great talent this man has. Thanks Mr. Sedaka for all the pleasure you have given me,and millions of others.
Thank you for posting. One of the best songs, ever.
definitively one of the best singers of my time love his music and his captivating voice
Always loved this song !! But then I love all of his songs, such talent ! 💕
his voice is so pure there is no effort.
I never owned any Neil Sedaka records. But this is probably my favorite song ever, and there are many that I loved. He is so talented!
So much power in this song. They were young and hungry, struggling. Now that the've made it to the top, something is missing. He wonders what they lost, that strong connection they had back then in the hungry years.
This music brings so much joy to those of us that need a pick me up!
Looking back, after gaining all the things we sought, we never realized how lucky we were to actually experience the hungry years.
I had to grow "into" Neil Sedaka....I never appreciated his raw talent & gifts until today. I am KC and I approve this message
An astounding songwriter and performer at work. Marvellous.
The man's a genius!!!!
Love this song. The lyrics are beautiful. I think Neil Sedaka is fantastic just like his music.
multi talented genius.. exceptional song writer,brilliant pianist,a clear voice with a vast range of notes.. they don't make popular artists like this anymore.
I saw Neil at Twin Towns in the late 80's your couldn't tell the difference from him performing live and the recording, what a talent.
Lovely song, perfect presentation. I recall my Mum telling me in the autumn of her life that this song reminded her of how she and Dad first stuggled, but as a family they never let it show. Good, modest people, greatly missed.
Fabulous song sang beautifully.
This guy is one of my Favourite singers, what a voice!
. I will never forget it
I Love Neil...but the truth of the matter is Neil didn't "sell out" to the big recording companies. Neil owns all his works, by not sharing with the "Fat Cat greedy pigs" he became an outcast...He"s not the only one just do some checking around see who else is not in the "Hall of Shame"...
We love you Neil ,Thank You for a lifetime of music.

How is there thumbs down . I really don't understand why anyone can say this isn't the 1 of the most beautiful song in the world. Dad brought me up with all the oldies , all 7 of us. Lost dad sept 1st 2022 😢. Lost my mam 2017 6 weeks after my beautiful nephew commited suicide. Also lost my big brother Ricky to suicide😢. Wish I could turn the clock back . Memories of mam , sad and my childhood. I feel so ssd and empty 😢😢❤
I am 82 years young. When Neil came upon the scene there was too much going on... loved him then but I positively adore him today. y es, yes, yes, he needs to be inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!!! Please. please. please get it done! "Honey take me home again." Your daughter is not only beautiful...she has a great voice!
Thank you Neil for all those wonderful memories and times that your songs reminded me. You miss the hungry years while I miss the wonderful years of my youth I'm now 63 years young. The wonderful memories that your songs brought back. Thanks Neil please continue bringing those wonderful songs of yours
Totally outstanding music by a brilliant musician
Not underrated at all, one of the most magnificent songsters of the last many,many years. He thrills me every time I listen.
Superb song, superbly performed !
Olga Olga spot on olga...
Millions of us miss the hungry years.
Possibly the greatest singer song writer ever to come out of America
He has such a beautiful voice!!
Time goes by and we forget about certain songs and singers especially when we no longer hear about them but all of a sudden Neil Sedaka came to my mind and I could have spent all day listening to him. What a marvellous songwriter, singer and performer, and a truly lovely man. Thanks for the wonderful memories x
Brings me back to my teens in the 70's .....excellent....
Truly a beautiful voice and true words. At 65 still one of my favourite songs.
The most perfect voice and such incredible compositions ♥
Beautiful song by the superbly talented Neil Sedaka!! It's inconceivable that he's not in the R&R Hall of Fame! Iam more than happy to sign your petition---------hope it works!!!
What an AMAZING INCREDIBLE voice. PERFECT
We have all had these years newly married struggling with kids and not much money. Later we can look back and enjoy the memories.
He's a magnificent entertainer. His crisp, clear voice is wonderful. "The Diary" by him is my favorite 🎼🎶🎶
neil deserves everything, you get my vote everytime....he's fantastic...
Neil Sedaka excellent performer and songwriter should be in the hall of fame
An amazing artist. Singer/songwriter/personality truly a blessed man
I have loved his songs since I was a teenager. He brings me back to my youth and stirs my soul when I listen to his beautiful songs. He truly is one of the best composers and writers.
Stunningly beautiful song that says what you should truly value in life
I love this song as it was one of my mum's favourite songs, and sadly she passed away in February this year, so listening to this song makes me feel close to her again. X
I saw Neil Sedaka in concert a few years ago and he was better than ever. This song says it all. Nothing in life, not even fortune...money...fame...replaces what really matters...the love that connects two souls
Favorited. Love this song. Love Neil. Signed a year pr 2 ago. Hope he gets the recognition he deserves.
Neil keep doing what you do thanks
What a Song , What a Talent. Neil Sedaka is one of the Greats!
Thank you, Mr. Neil Sedaka, for this song.
love this man and this song! as good as ever...
this is a beautiful song heart wrenching
Love this song - incredible.
I LOVE this song! It's so powerful and full of meaning...makes me cry.
This song should be dedicated to Jon and Kate Gosselin based on last weeks events. The words now make me think of them.
