I am 68 years old, I loved this song in the 60's, my hippie days. I cried so hard hearing this tonight. Oh how we need to LOVE one another, only love will heal, hate is destroying us💔😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
whenever is listening to this, just know you are not alone. Everyone in the comments sections is tryna get together, if you do not feel loved, you are loved by all of us. May God shine his peace and love on all of you.❤️
I’ve been feeling the same way. It’s hard enough to realize it’s a 50+ year old song (are we that old?? 😱) but that’s we still can’t seem to get it together. 😢
You do realize the violence throughout all of human history? What makes you think they would have changed over 50 years or ever. Don’t be such a based idiot.
Song is before my time, but I would hear it now and then throughout my life…always appreciated it for its beautiful melody and harmony. I heard it this morning, and I couldn’t believe I had been missing its deep, intense message. My heart was moved.
@@waengineering8477 I went to a free concert of theirs back in the 1970's on Cambridge Common (near Harvard U). The drummer's drumstick flew out of his hand and I picked it up. He asked for it back and gave me a broken stick as a souvenir.
67 yrs. old, and I remember listening to this song on a handheld "transistor radio" as a teen. I only learned the incredible meaning of this particular song last year when I saw the lyrics to it. "When the one who left us here, comes for us at last"... I always thought that this song rhymed so well, and never thought more about it, until last year. This song is now even more meaningful and needed now!🙏🙏🙏
Each day we awake there's uncertainties we hold our reigns the Lord holds my fate/final destination life is the mountains the beach is on the other side!!!
Yes, but then apply it to the danger, the best love you can give today is far away kisses, maybe crossing the street when elderly people (or anyone really) are taking a walk and smile and wave , just a way of adapting the message.
An interaction is a smile having a reaction An a Wink is just a blink from satisfaction An a Frown is subtraction as is a fraction A Frown is a negative muscle contraction Smiles give love traction for some action
Funny you said that I have a playlist called Anthems and it’s included in it! I was a little girl in San Francisco when this song was being played on KFRC radio with Dr. Don Rose and a few DJ’s there! A favorite that people of all ages should be listening to and trying to make it happen. Greed and Hatred Is What Most People Have Become And It Makes Me SICK! People Need To Knock Off Their 💩!!!
Yes my dad was in Vietnam when the song became popular. That age that era has left a lifetime impression that no other time in my life has. What a time to have been alive
As a child growing up in the late 60's, i used to listen to a transistor radio i hid inmy pillow case , at night. I'd listen o AM radio till i fell asleep. This was one of my favorite songs then, and still is today . I never thought how much it would matter in the future..... but it surely does now. This is what we need to do Americans, and people all over the world. Get Together.....
This song came to me tonight as I am feeling the presence of one of dearest friends, who is in the process of ” leaving this world” I have visited her for hours today, and I am remembering this song when I was ten years old. It was used in a Coke commercial way back in the late sixties. It's such an appropriate song for our ”troubling” world now. Listen, reflect and enjoy. Listen to the lyrics. ❤️🙏 Pray for a better world. Pray for the soul of my dearest incredible and sweet friend !❤️🙏🌻🐝🌹
My friends are some of the most amazing people on the planet, as far as I’m concerned. They’re always so supportive, so full of God’s light and love, and bring me so much joy! If I could dedicate this song to them, I would.
This brings me back to a special time if my life and the message of my generation. There was great unrest at the time just like now and we still need this message more than ever. Im about to turn 72 and it still touches me deeply when I hear it. Someone should make this the anthem of what we are trying to bring about...still. Come on people, smile on your brother, everybody get together let's FINALLY love one another right now. Peace and love ✌❤
I hear there's talk of changing our national anthem. À more inclusive, minus the war glorification statement than our current ballad. Perhaps, "America, The Beautiful" or better yet this open rebuke to mankind would be my vote.
I was riding with a group of friends back in the late sixties and this song came on the car radio, Everyone one in the car started singing the song. It was like a movement. I'll never forget that moment, even tough two years later I was serving in the U.S. army in Vietnam. ! Made a lot of friends in Saigon when I was there as well. Some of whom liked this song as well.
Which was the better memory.... killing foreigners half way across the world for government benefit, or laughing, singing with your friends about how to create peace?
It's from the bible, " man is like the grass in the field, and when the wind passes over, it is no more" psalms 103:15 Also the one who left us here, refers to Jesus and his return.
@Theresa Reiter My sister you speak the truth. It's easy to dislike someone that doesn't look or think like you, it's a whole lot tougher to accept and respect, someone who is different. I guess we forgot "E pluribus unum", "Out of many, one". Be well, safe and peace to you and yours.
I listened to this song as a little girl, many years later it still resonates. Timeless classic that we should all sing to raise the vibration of the planet. Let’s share this.
Not only do I PROUDLY come from the times when these songs were written , but a strong follower of the MESSAGE , as well as , make an extra EFFORT to practice daily . The words will always hold TRUE despite the changing times . REACH OUT !
This love song is truly an iconic anthem for a generation that I wish would inspire ours now! The Youngbloods didn't write it, but they adapted it brilliantly with a uniquely spiritual essence.
I love everything about this song, from the beautifully poetic lyrics, the understated guitar solo that proves you don`t have to make it wail or cry to sound good right through to the superb drumming. This song really earns the accolade, "classic".
The words of Jesus as recorded by the Apostle John - John 15:9-12: As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his love. These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full. This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. ~ Jesus
A song with real true purpose meaning message that could possibly probably might change all of us in every part of this world off all ages. No one hasn't to be alone hurt and suffer. The whole wide world needs to wake up. Whats the real true meaning purpose message about the Famous Statue of Liberty 🗽 in America 🇺🇸. For generations there believes are the same as what we who do believe in also. The Statue of Liberty 🗽 stands always without fail or doubt guaranteed 💯 over many times 💯 definitely without fail or doubt for Peace,Truth, All weapons of War in He'll and Horror isn't ever never not about any kind of Peace ,Truth ,Justice. Where's the real true Human Humanity Heart Spirit and Soul of what real true JUSTICE is. No out of control dangerous Wars won't ever Bring Peace to no one. Only death damage and destruction that's all. Now I do know the Statue of Liberty wasn't meant for that ever. The real true Heart,Spirit and ,Soul of America is standing strong firm solid with the old laws rules regulations of the Statue of Liberty 🗽. Don't ever not never break any of those Laws or suffer very badly. America is a very big great brilliant fantastic Place where there's many very nice beautiful Family's in many various parts. There's God only knows how many vast amounts of fantastic fabulous great brilliant things to get involved in that dosnt involve Crime. Myself I've always loved Baseball ⚾️ and Basketball 🏀. I could go on but the list is endless. Many great brilliant fantastic entertainment things have came from America as many great fantastic brilliant People. Adults and Children in TV programmes Family's and Films and Music. Oh I also Love the Big Apple. Start spreading the news I'm leaving today, I want to be a part of it. New York New York. Peace out.
So sad... no more of this ‘real’ music that still makes us dream about how life was... 😔🙏🏻... it’s gone... like the beautiful time when it came out... Please! No more hate! Please! Peace!!
It's not all gone. I was just a little kid during the time of the hippies, yippies, Free Speech Movement, Womens' Lib, Viet Nam War, peace demonstrations, Civil Rights Movement, and of course, street drugs. As with many other things in life, some of it was good and some of it was bad. Peace.
If you read your Bible you will see that the end of what we know as normal is soon to pass because Jehovah God promises a time when the meek will possess the earth and they will live forever upon it in peace and happiness!
I beleive everyone on this planet should sit down, close their eyes and just listen to this song. What this song encapsulates is something the human race sorely needs now more than ever.
Brenton Kurth ......what a genuinely lovely, heartfelt comment and absolutely spot on, thank you. We really should better adhere to this, after all, “we are but a moment’s sunlight fading in the grass”, truer words were never spoken.
this song was 50-60 years ahead of its time , its still probably ahead of our time. I so believe one of the best written , best produced songs of any genre and any generation .
This song came out the year I was born..1967. I've grown up listening to it my whole life. It warms my heart & always has & it brings tears to my eyes when I listen to it today. Thank you for posting it..✌❤ Peace & Love
We need to keep the faith and never give up and we all will get through this together regardless of our ethnicity. God speed to US ALL and as WAR’s song eloquently “stated can’t we be friends?”.
Humans are very destructive by nature and are easily manipulated to live ,act and adopt a life and ways that are pushed on to them by governments etc. I find myself in a world where No one can form a view or opinion for themself other than what the TV ,news or papers tell them to think so its no wonder earth is f#cked up as 98% of people will never realise what earth is and what this thing called life actually is.... Peace love and divine light brothers n sisters.
Bob: Goosmann: What? We need this more than ever? Why what goods it gonna do? It never worked within the 50 years ever since it first came out, so what makes you think it's gonna work now?
I was thinking the same thing as I listened to this, we are so divided as Americans and we have lost the idea that we are all in this together as Americans, even though our opinions differ greatly, God Bless this country
@@danhardy6463: What? We have lost the idea that we are all in this together? I'm afraid that idea does not measure up to "Reality" I mean people harp on we are all human and we should all be as one etc. But the intrinsic differences in the races which goes way beyond skin color and human nature just doesn't work that way.....
@@unhooked25 maybe not in your reality, but you wait and see what real tragedy will do here in America, we will all stand together soon, PS I'm somewhat of a racist myself, but it really has to do with cultural differences not race issues
Amazing how the music, the lyrics, the power message of love blends in so perfectly it brings joy & healing to the soul. The song also encourages us during these chaos & tumultuous times that Only Jesus Christ love was and continues to be the answer.🙌😊🙏
I am a firm believer that good will always triumph over evil! Since I believe that, my life has been a whole lot more peaceful and calm. Remember the Golden Rule, The Ten Commandments, and also the law of karma. When you live correctly, your life seems to be on a clear path.
Believe me, I wasn't always this ZEN! . It has been a lot of spiritual work & effort... but the reward (spending my eternity in heaven with the Lord) will be so worth it! So think about the big picture, don't get lost in the minutiae. Forgive often and freely. It is one way to circumvent negative Karma!
Lyrics, the ink is black, the paper white. Together we learn to read and write. Sadly the so called "woke" people say this song is racist, and naive? 😪 🖖💔
God, I love this song, I've loved it since it first came out! Jessy Colin Young is such a great musician, song righter and singer! I just replayed it 5 times, just love it!!!
Yes, Jesse is a great musician, writer and singer, but this particular song was written by Chet Powers, aka Dino Valenti. I saw Jesse circa 1983 at a small theater in Santa Barbara, CA. Great show, just him and a keyboard player.
I do. Ever since i heard yhis song in 1966 i was 2 years of age. And it got stuck in my mind and since you tube came i started tossing out all music stock in my mid of the 60s right here in san antonio
There's a line in this song that nobody seems to hear, probably because they don't understand it (at 1:27). "When the One who left us here comes back for us at last" That's a direct reference to Jesus second coming to Earth, spoken to his disciples just before his crucifixion. He told them He would not "leave them as orphans" but send the Holy Spirit to be their comforter and counselor until He returns (the Second Coming). The passage is in John 14, 16-29. Look at the state of the world today and it's pretty evident it may be very soon.
@TASmith-ou3is Amen! I'm 75, didn't get saved till I was 52 and had heard this song by Jessie Colin Young thousands of times since it came out. A couple of years after coming to The Father through Jesus this came on my car radio and that verse hit me like a bolt of lightning! I've told many good, solid Christians about it and they had never pick up on it either. Look at God showing out, though! Thank you Holy Spirit!
@@TASmith-ou3is I forgot to mention this one too: Bread was a very popular soft rock band in the 70's and this is a track that was gibberish to me then. Listen and pull up the lyrics too!: ruclips.net/video/EYoJEBONHNch/видео.htmlttps (I Am That I Am)
Black, white, whatever race, enjoy and be happy we live in the USA, love it and respect it!!! Quit whining and crying about how bad you have it! Help others and it will come back to you! Go out and make it a great day!
I fought for this country. I want everyone to whine and complain if things aren’t right. Protest just don’t hurt others. This is our democracy and it’s been hijacked by right wing thugs and evangelicals that lie about gods message to buy cars houses and planes for their so called pastors. Resist protest and stand up for yourselves. Go Army! Go Airborne!
Promises made ,promises kept, everytime ive heard this song for more than 50 years, ive said a prayer for a childhood companion who died swimming in a creek, he played this song at my house on a small transister radio, sang along, then asked me for water, and proceeded to drink about 6 large glasses in a fashion I'd never seen before or since, gulping it down like he never even swallowed it. He then had to go said goodbye and walked off to the ages, gone never to return. A few days later when i heard about his death, it shocked me and i was so sad, my new friend was gone, and i couldn't understand why. Ive never forgotton him and his spirit lives on in my memory, and this great song has been my mantra, and signal to pray for his eternal soul, and ask god to lift him high. Thats been a promise made and a promise kept, that is to recognize that were all precious in gods eyes.
Harry Peters, I feel that you will meet your wonderful friend in a fantastically better life than what we have on this Earthly Plane! If you are spiritual and a believer, I think you just ought to try to be patient and do the very best you can for others until your time comes. I hope you do not mind me speaking so frankly! Love is what it is all about. 💖 I suspect you know all of this already. It still hurts you, believe me, I know so well! 💜🕊️💜
One of my favorites, awesome, simple lyrics in the verses, 60's had some of the best music written, it is a shame you can't hear the music now. Some of it is better than this even. But you won't get it on the air waves...
I LOVE this song. It is so appropriate for what earth and us humans are experiencing now on our way to 5d New Earth. You can feel it if you go outside and walk in nature. The consciousness is rising and people all over the world are realizing we are ONE. 🙌🙌🙌
So True. We may look different but down deep we are the same. Those who love nature seem to be more conscious of things around them. And enjoy that beauty.
My Dad and my Uncle ( not blood but dad’s best friend ) used to open with their acoustic folk band with this song. My Dad Ellwood and Uncle Ronny were best friends since age 12 and I recently lost my pop. We lost Uncle Ronny in 2011… they were friends in a time when our country was facing such racial tension in the 1960s in Virginia. A white country boy and black boy . Unheard of. They loved each other and when they opened with this song acoustically it would make the room stand still . My dad was killed this year by a car and when I opened his bible sorting though his stuff to box it up I found the verse “ we are but a moments sunlight, fading in the grass” this is such a poignant song and hearing them sing it was such a gift
@@denisev5427 thank you. I wish the world could hear those two sing this song. Their version was chilling!!! They would harmonize the beginning and then break into a beautiful acoustic version
I am 74 and still love this. There is a spiritual element to it, "When the one that left us here , Returns for us at last". We all need to do as it says.
The song defines an era of cultural change in our country, great times & great memories for me. To be an 18 year old kid during the height of this was really great times, plus being in the band and going on the road........... a lot of S.D.& R.R.
My all time favorite! We had such good music in my generation! When I get cranky over todays noise blasting next door here is where I go☮️ So sweet and peaceful with a very good message, people are so angry these days!
When my generation came along this is all we wanted. Smile on your brother , try to love one another right now . I ended up with 2 missing fingers on my left hand & the loss of my right foot. 1/9 marines " Walkn' Dead ". Khe-Sanh Vietnam . Smile on your brother , try to love one another rite now. We tried , we really did . ✌ ✌.
@@bonnih6931 Bonni , I understand completely , sometimes I feel so hypocritical .I was the long haired guy that never missed a war demonstration , and went anyway . It's been a while since I've heard this song. It summed up everything to me . Iooking down where my foot used to be the tears just flowed . I take it personal sometimes , like if I could've just down a little more I could've stopped the war . But your so right about the tears .I was born in Alsace ,France . Moved to Downey Calif. at 11yr. I only lived a couple of doors down and 2yrs. Later Karen Carpenter's family moved in . I would walk Karen to school everyday. I was a couple yrs. Older but she skipped a grade. She had a real crush on me .I went to the Marines and Vietnam .I took leave before going over . Karen ripped a dog-tag off saying " I'LL give it back when you come home. I spent 14 months in Balboa Hospital SanDiego .I flew back to L.A. ( 11 dollars , first class .champagne flight ). Getting off their was Karen , holding my dog-tags up in hand . tears really ran down our faces. We were very close . But a huge difference in the music we appreciated. Thats why Karen and brother had a though time getting started. It was acid rock days. If it wasn't for a local bank acepting there first song , that was played in many weddings They would have had a hard time getting a break. I married and moved. Karen's mom called when she died , I immediately jumped a plane . At the funeral her mother told me that Karen took a little bit of me with her , my dog-tag. Mom told me " she really adored you Niky " Karen always called me Nicky .You talk about tears !! When I hear one of her songs today , I still tear-up .My wife was ok and understood it. My tiny wife 5'0 90lb passed away at 45yrs.and we had a story-book romance . Again the tears. I understand your tears at your age. I'm not much older , when I hear or see somethings from the past , and think these things are trivial , believe me honey they are all from your heart and they will be there forever. Amour Nicky.
@@bonnih6931 Bonni , again I thank you for your reply on my comment and both of our tears. I must admit I had a little too much Courvoisier ; Cognac in me , at 3am. I looked back at my comment back to you and can't believe I'd open up about personal events in my life that I've told no one . Especially about Karen Carpenter . She had a very overprotective mother and always thought she'd be protected with me , and she was right .I was the senior quarterback in highshool and she skipped a grade and was 2yrs.behind me , with a big crush on me. I didn't have the same feelings for her , causing her to be devastated .She hated gym class , so she messed around with instruments and got into drums , of all things , she just didn't strike me as a drummer . So they let her out of morning gym if she played the drums . She stuck to it and the rest was history .With my 1 foot I met a girl and married. Karen sang her " we've only just begun ". My wife asked her , not me . Her brother Richard was addicted to Qualude's. He made a jerk out of himself at the Reception , and fell over the punch-bowl .Karen always stayed in touch. We were always invited for Christmas , they always made a big deal out of . We went the first couple years , but then moved east .Never cared for Richard , and he new it. Well here I went again. With my Courvoisier at , 2am.I've still have no idea why I tell you of this , otherwise personal part of my life. So forgive me Bonni if you will .After thinking about this time I know I'll have a tear or two . So your not alone . Amour Nicky ......
Dominic Devereaux I thought awhile before responding, but you actually seem a lot like me. I don't sleep well and spend many nights reading or listening to music online. The most important thing I wanted to say is: I wanted to call my second child Dominic, but I never had one. Second, some of my moms family came from Alsace Lorraine when it was Germany, not France. The others were LITHUANIAN. Anyway, I'm alone with my cats, coyotes, cicadas chirping in the night.
Jesus Christ said to love your Lord God with all your soul being heart and love your neighbor as yourself. Amen May we all love our neighbors because it is just the right thing to do. Who is my neighbor? Everyone. May God richly bless all who read this and those that follow Christ, the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords, who died an excruciating death spilling his blood as a sacrifice for all people of the world. Believe in Jesus and you will be saved!
What we surly must do is vote! Kamala Harris/Tim Walz - it's the only way we will get back on track because we aren't going back! Kindness never gets old, it has no expiration date 🟦
I love this song always have. And yes we need to hear it now more than ever! Love One Another Right Now! Please Be Loving Not Hateful. God Help Us All!
In 67, I was starting high school, and this haunting melody struck a chord in me. I happened upon it again a couple months ago, and now it repeatedly appears in my home page feed. Still drawn to it, compelled to click on n it again and again. The name Renée always resonated with me and may be significant. Not sure why, but I have a sense a hidden memory will soon become apparent. 😉 ✨️🪷🐧

Yes, but then apply it to the danger, the best love you can give today is far away kisses, maybe crossing the street when elderly people (or anyone really) are taking a walk and smile and wave , just a way of adapting the message.

As a child growing up in the late 60's, i used to listen to a transistor radio i hid inmy pillow case , at night.
I'd listen o AM radio till i fell asleep.
This was one of my favorite songs then, and still is today .
I never thought how much it would matter in the future..... but it surely does now.
This is what we need to do Americans, and people all over the world.
Get Together.....
Wife's twin sister did the radio in the pillow case trick when they were little. Case started to melt from overheating. 😳
no kiddn i did the same thing hiding under the blanket listening to am radio this song is forever
I did too ❤️

One of the best songs ever written.
Great for the 2020 riots
Not an exaggeration
Yes my friend ,thank you .
Songs like this are sadly not written anymore I prefer this music to today's music I was not born until 1982
Should be an anthem
This song came to me tonight as I am feeling the presence of one of dearest friends, who is in the process of ” leaving this world” I have visited her for hours today, and I am remembering this song when I was ten years old. It was used in a Coke commercial way back in the late sixties. It's such an appropriate song for our ”troubling” world now. Listen, reflect and enjoy. Listen to the lyrics. ❤️🙏
Pray for a better world. Pray for the soul of my dearest incredible and sweet friend !❤️🙏🌻🐝🌹
love sent
Yessssssssss & Amen 🙏🏻 I’m Praying 🙏🏻 for her safe Passage to Heaven!!😢
Absolutely everything about this song is fantastic. The instruments, the harmony, the lyrics, the message. It's timeless, and timely. 🙏❤️
My friends are some of the most amazing people on the planet, as far as I’m concerned. They’re always so supportive, so full of God’s light and love, and bring me so much joy! If I could dedicate this song to them, I would.
This brings me back to a special time if my life and the message of my generation.
There was great unrest at the time just like now and we still need this message more than ever. Im about to turn 72 and it still touches me deeply when I hear it. Someone should make this the anthem of what we are trying to bring about...still.
Come on people, smile on your brother, everybody get together let's FINALLY love one another right now. Peace and love ✌❤
I hear there's talk of changing our national anthem. À more inclusive, minus the war glorification statement than our current ballad. Perhaps, "America, The Beautiful" or better yet this open rebuke to mankind would be my vote.
Joanne Loesner: That would be nice, but I'm afraid it will never happen because tribal human nature just doesn't work that way.
I was riding with a group of friends back in the late sixties and this song came on the car radio, Everyone one in the car started singing the song. It was like a movement. I'll never forget that moment, even tough two years later I was serving in the U.S. army in Vietnam. ! Made a lot of friends in Saigon when I was there as well. Some of whom liked this song as well.
Thank you for your service
That is legitimately a cool story, bro.
Love to you.john we are siblings in arms💞
Which was the better memory.... killing foreigners half way across the world for government benefit, or laughing, singing with your friends about how to create peace?
Thanks 4 sharing Bro. 🇺🇲🙏🪂🪖🗡🍻
I’m 74,this song brings back good memories!
"We are but a moment's sunlight, fading in the grass," is one of the most moving song lyrics around imo
It's from the bible, " man is like the grass in the field, and when the wind passes over, it is no more" psalms 103:15
Also the one who left us here, refers to Jesus and his return.
You arent alone. Made me tear up too.
But we will live forever in eternity!
one of the most beautiful lines in a song....
ever.
@@brieziethirteen13
me, too, yo.
The tragic violence happening in Minneapolis right now brought this song back to memory.
i agree brother.
We are in a bad time right now we need to love each other again
@Theresa Reiter My sister you speak the truth. It's easy to dislike someone that doesn't look or think like you, it's a whole lot tougher to accept and respect, someone who is different. I guess we forgot "E pluribus unum", "Out of many, one". Be well, safe and peace to you and yours.
WE NEED TO STAY FOCUSED ON GETTING EVERY CHILD OUT OF THE UNDERGROUND D.U.M.B.S
AND BACK TO THERE TRUE FAMILIES! GOD BLESS!!!
The same for me....brought back so many memories! And it is NEEDED now. It should be played on every possible media and social media outlet.
This song is very appropriate in May, 2020. Stop the violence. Try to love one another right now.
Stop the hate and violence
Amen Brother!
Amen!
The first week of June has been even worse.
Peace to all! Love each other,stop using force on others.Love not war! Compassion not retribution
"It is no longer good enough to cry peace, we must act peace, live peace, and live in peace." Shenandoah proverb.
Common decency not a proverb..
@@tinkmarshino Common decency, like common sense, is in short supply these days.
I listened to this song as a little girl, many years later it still resonates. Timeless classic that we should all sing to raise the vibration of the planet. Let’s share this.
Not only do I PROUDLY come from the times when these songs were written , but a strong follower of the MESSAGE , as well as , make an extra EFFORT to practice daily . The words will always hold TRUE despite the changing times . REACH OUT !
Me too friend, I am 72. ;-) Bless you.
This song forever will touch my soul...
This message will never get old ! LOVE ONE ANOTHER, THAT'S THE WAY GOD PLANNED IT !
One of the most beautiful songs ever.
It doesn't get any better than this.. what a great song, still brings a tear to my eye
When the one who left us here returns for us at last,Jesus has never truly left us all alone.
Yes & Amen 🙏
His return (2nd coming) is what he refers to.
HE LEFT US HIS HOLY SPIRIT THE TRINITY IS ONE. HE IS FIXING TO COME BACK
It's us who usually move away from God{Jesus}. Pray it never so! 🛐 {John3.16}. ✝️🙌👍
BEHOLD I SAW A NEW HEAVEN AND A NEW EARTH!
This love song is truly an iconic anthem for a generation that I wish would inspire ours now!
The Youngbloods didn't write it, but they adapted it brilliantly with a uniquely spiritual essence.
I finally found who wrote it. Chet Powers, stage name Dino Valenti. It’s about Jesus. Yay!
This song never gets old because the message was as true in 1967 as it is in 2024 as it would have been in 1944
Don't you think the world would be a better place if we all listened to this song every day, before we interacted with each other?
It might, Joanna, but the people aren't the cause.
Unfortunately, no. Leftists are too full of hatred
@@willard2729 leftists? :D everybody is full of hatred, especially since we do not let others live their life
I love everything about this song, from the beautifully poetic lyrics, the understated guitar solo that proves you don`t have to make it wail or cry to sound good right through to the superb drumming. This song really earns the accolade, "classic".
I'm a baby boomer and these were the real days and real music! Peace!
I'm Generation X
For sure. Those days were magical!
Oh yeah
Bring it
Me too!
My Dad will always be associated with this song. He says it’s all about Jesus.
Yes...yes it is. ❤
@@jimmoore777 He’s used to being right. 😂
The words of Jesus as recorded by the Apostle John -
John 15:9-12: As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his love. These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full. This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.

A song with real true purpose meaning message that could possibly probably might change all of us in every part of this world off all ages.
No one hasn't to be alone hurt and suffer.
The whole wide world needs to wake up.
Whats the real true meaning purpose message about the Famous Statue of Liberty 🗽 in America 🇺🇸.
For generations there believes are the same as what we who do believe in also.
The Statue of Liberty 🗽 stands always without fail or doubt guaranteed 💯 over many times 💯 definitely without fail or doubt for Peace,Truth,
All weapons of War in He'll and Horror isn't ever never not about any kind of Peace ,Truth ,Justice.
Where's the real true Human Humanity Heart Spirit and Soul of what real true JUSTICE is.
No out of control dangerous Wars won't ever Bring Peace to no one.
Only death damage and destruction that's all.
Now I do know the Statue of Liberty wasn't meant for that ever.
The real true Heart,Spirit and ,Soul of America is standing strong firm solid with the old laws rules regulations of the Statue of Liberty 🗽.
Don't ever not never break any of those Laws or suffer very badly.
America is a very big great brilliant fantastic Place where there's many very nice beautiful Family's in many various parts.
There's God only knows how many vast amounts of fantastic fabulous great brilliant things to get involved in that dosnt involve Crime.
Myself I've always loved Baseball ⚾️ and Basketball 🏀.
I could go on but the list is endless.
Many great brilliant fantastic entertainment things have came from America as many great fantastic brilliant People.
Adults and Children in TV programmes Family's and Films and Music.
Oh I also Love the Big Apple.
Start spreading the news I'm leaving today,
I want to be a part of it.
New York New York. Peace out.
So sad... no more of this ‘real’ music that still makes us dream about how life was... 😔🙏🏻... it’s gone... like the beautiful time when it came out... Please! No more hate! Please! Peace!!
Amen sister!
amen may God bless you and your family
It's not all gone. I was just a little kid during the time of the hippies, yippies, Free Speech Movement, Womens' Lib, Viet Nam War, peace demonstrations, Civil Rights Movement, and of course, street drugs. As with many other things in life, some of it was good and some of it was bad. Peace.
the time of race riots ,drafting young men to go to war .... not a beautiful time for everyone
If you read your Bible you will see that the end of what we know as normal is soon to pass because Jehovah God promises a time when the meek will possess the earth and they will live forever upon it in peace and happiness!
I beleive everyone on this planet should sit down, close their eyes and just listen to this song. What this song encapsulates is something the human race sorely needs now more than ever.
We always did need it...but we have to want it
Well spoken! ❤️
Brenton Kurth that is the truth this world needs it bad
Brenton Kurth ......what a genuinely lovely, heartfelt comment and absolutely spot on, thank you. We really should better adhere to this, after all, “we are but a moment’s sunlight fading in the grass”, truer words were never spoken.
"Human race" grossssss
this song was 50-60 years ahead of its time , its still probably ahead of our time. I so believe one of the best written , best produced songs of any genre and any generation .
The message is timeless.
This song came out the year I was born..1967. I've grown up listening to it my whole life. It warms my heart & always has & it brings tears to my eyes when I listen to it today. Thank you for posting it..✌❤ Peace & Love
This song could have been written today...Things like this seem to come back,,,,
History does tend to repeat itself.😎✌
I agree Grew up when this song came out and loved it when people were protesting the viet nam war! PEACE EVERYONE PLEASE!
We need to keep the faith and never give up and we all will get through this together regardless of our ethnicity. God speed to US ALL and as WAR’s song eloquently “stated can’t we be friends?”.
It should be put on every media page possible
No talent now, just punks.
If all of us started our day with this song, we might live in the world we dream of! Why is it so hard?
Humans are very destructive by nature and are easily manipulated to live ,act and adopt a life and ways that are pushed on to them by governments etc. I find myself in a world where No one can form a view or opinion for themself other than what the TV ,news or papers tell them to think so its no wonder earth is f#cked up as 98% of people will never realise what earth is and what this thing called life actually is.... Peace love and divine light brothers n sisters.
When we open up, we get hurt.
Every one is worried about $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$,makes me sick
I don't know why it so hard this was but sixtes yet rhere so much hate I think is long is pver due
@@wesleymay602 Seems no one wants to talk about what is real anymore. But some of us remember 😀
We need this more than ever
Bob: Goosmann: What? We need this more than ever? Why what goods it gonna do? It never worked within the 50 years ever since it first came out, so what makes you think it's gonna work now?
I was thinking the same thing as I listened to this, we are so divided as Americans and we have lost the idea that we are all in this together as Americans, even though our opinions differ greatly, God Bless this country
@@danhardy6463: What? We have lost the idea that we are all in this together? I'm afraid that idea does not measure up to "Reality" I mean people harp on we are all human and we should all be as one etc. But the intrinsic differences in the races which goes way beyond skin color and human nature just doesn't work that way.....
@@unhooked25 maybe not in your reality, but you wait and see what real tragedy will do here in America, we will all stand together soon, PS I'm somewhat of a racist myself, but it really has to do with cultural differences not race issues
One of the greatest peace songs of all times.
Dino Valente(Quicksilver Messenger Service) wrote it.
@@VISHNU369 RIP Dino
@@VISHNU369 QMS gave us some really great music
This song is relevant today as it was then. We live in some crazy times close to the end.
Then let us change this, it will be hard but its not impossible. We can, and need to do this for our children, for our people, for our country.
Amazing how the music, the lyrics, the power message of love blends in so perfectly it brings joy & healing to the soul. The song also encourages us during these chaos & tumultuous times that Only Jesus Christ love was and continues to be the answer.🙌😊🙏
May God come into all our hearts. Together in love we will defeat our common enemy! Hate cannot stand in the face of Love ! Never!
I am a firm believer that good will always triumph over evil! Since I believe that, my life has been a whole lot more peaceful and calm. Remember the Golden Rule, The Ten Commandments, and also the law of karma. When you live correctly, your life seems to be on a clear path.
@@rosem2551 great memories
Believe me, I wasn't always this ZEN! . It has been a lot of spiritual work & effort... but the reward (spending my eternity in heaven with the Lord) will be so worth it! So think about the big picture, don't get lost in the minutiae. Forgive often and freely. It is one way to circumvent negative Karma!
I just posted Three Dog Night “ The ink is black, the page is white” and this song because this is what we need 🖤🤍❤️💙💜🥰
Pamela, I was a little child when that song came out. Used to sing along to it in the car with my dad. Now I play it for my grandchildren ✌️😊♥️
Lyrics, the ink is black, the paper white. Together we learn to read and write. Sadly the so called "woke" people say this song is racist, and naive? 😪 🖖💔
I goofed the lyrics🤣😂😅The ink is black, the papers white..... not a racist song as someone commented. The lyrics prove it’s to get along
Correct.
Yes, Pamela, so right
Blasting this on the stereo brings a smile upon my face. I'm 16 and a half and noticing I'm enjoying older music more and more.
I did the same when I was around your age. I’m 26 now and I listen to it all man
“We are a moments’ sunlight...” 🥰 thank you for the lyrics 👏
God, I love this song, I've loved it since it first came out! Jessy Colin Young is such a great musician, song righter and singer! I just replayed it 5 times, just love it!!!
You and me both - love it, and great musicians too!!!
Yes, Jesse is a great musician, writer and singer, but this particular song was written by Chet Powers, aka Dino Valenti. I saw Jesse circa 1983 at a small theater in Santa Barbara, CA. Great show, just him and a keyboard player.
"We are but a moment's sunlight, fading in the grass." Hey man beautiful, peace be yours brothers', sisters' and neighbors. Peace.

How's that been workin' out for ya?
I do. Ever since i heard yhis song in 1966 i was 2 years of age. And it got stuck in my mind and since you tube came i started tossing out all music stock in my mid of the 60s right here in san antonio
We need this song playing on every loudspeaker, every radio, every television all over the world - Right Now.
There's a line in this song that nobody seems to hear, probably because they don't understand it (at 1:27). "When the One who left us here comes back for us at last" That's a direct reference to Jesus second coming to Earth, spoken to his disciples just before his crucifixion. He told them He would not "leave them as orphans" but send the Holy Spirit to be their comforter and counselor until He returns (the Second Coming). The passage is in John 14, 16-29. Look at the state of the world today and it's pretty evident it may be very soon.
@@lextek. Absolutely! That's why I love the song so much! The most beautiful words: "When the One that left us here, comes for us at last."
@TASmith-ou3is Amen! I'm 75, didn't get saved till I was 52 and had heard this song by Jessie Colin Young thousands of times since it came out. A couple of years after coming to The Father through Jesus this came on my car radio and that verse hit me like a bolt of lightning! I've told many good, solid Christians about it and they had never pick up on it either. Look at God showing out, though! Thank you Holy Spirit!
@@TASmith-ou3is I forgot to mention this one too: Bread was a very popular soft rock band in the 70's and this is a track that was gibberish to me then. Listen and pull up the lyrics too!: ruclips.net/video/EYoJEBONHNch/видео.htmlttps (I Am That I Am)
I am 66 and was so lucky to live through 60/70 music.....it's gone but not forgotten.....
Black, white, whatever race, enjoy and be happy we live in the USA, love it and respect it!!! Quit whining and crying about how bad you have it! Help others and it will come back to you! Go out and make it a great day!
Amen I agree.
God bless the USA and may we work together to help each other the best we can these day's of such negative news.
I fought for this country. I want everyone to whine and complain if things aren’t right. Protest just don’t hurt others. This is our democracy and it’s been hijacked by right wing thugs and evangelicals that lie about gods message to buy cars houses and planes for their so called pastors.
Resist protest and stand up for yourselves.
Go Army! Go Airborne!
@@rin11bairborne Thank you for your service, Sir!
Absolutely. I am a younger American but there is a difference in being violent and standing up for yourself and what is right.
A great and beautiful song. Really captures the spirit of the late sixties, and is perfect for our time now.
sure does
73. Here I didn’t know it then, but I know it now ; this song has shaped me!
so many times spirit acts unbeknownst to us,
always choose love over fear
Fear hurts and Love heals ♥️
Great song everyone should pass this message along to everyone they can!Tell them to really listen to the words! PEACE PEOPLE !!! Peace ☮️🕊️☮️🕊️
I cannot get enough of this song great message powerful lyrics I'm in awe
Promises made ,promises kept, everytime ive heard this song for more than 50 years, ive said a prayer for a childhood companion who died swimming in a creek, he played this song at my house on a small transister radio, sang along, then asked me for water, and proceeded to drink about 6 large glasses in a fashion I'd never seen before or since, gulping it down like he never even swallowed it. He then had to go said goodbye and walked off to the ages, gone never to return. A few days later when i heard about his death, it shocked me and i was so sad, my new friend was gone, and i couldn't understand why. Ive never forgotton him and his spirit lives on in my memory, and this great song has been my mantra, and signal to pray for his eternal soul, and ask god to lift him high. Thats been a promise made and a promise kept, that is to recognize that were all precious in gods eyes.
no doubt in he is in God"s wonderful light.
Harry Peters, I feel that you will meet your wonderful friend in a fantastically better life than what we have on this Earthly Plane! If you are spiritual and a believer, I think you just ought to try to be patient and do the very best you can for others until your time comes. I hope you do not mind me speaking so frankly! Love is what it is all about. 💖 I suspect you know all of this already. It still hurts you, believe me, I know so well! 💜🕊️💜

“You hold the key to love and fear all in your trembling little hand.”
Love that line.
We need this more than ever today. I cried when I listened to this and other songs from this era.
Nearly July, 2020, USA. Reared on this song, I wish younger people today had such. It just might help. If you're reading this, I live you. .
Peace:)
This song is so perfect, especially with all the injustices humans all over are experiencing right now!
Great song. One of the best written mid all the culture clash. But, we won. Our music was truly the best. There is no music now.
One of my favorites, awesome, simple lyrics in the verses, 60's had some of the best music written, it is a shame you can't hear the music now. Some of it is better than this even. But you won't get it on the air waves...
@@thisisstupidanddumb Agreed, but this song is special, not too many like this anymore........................................?
You are right- I have been saying it for years--No music now. I am 73. Give me the 60's music anyday. My 39 year old son agrees.
The music of today is a message of violence. Sad.
*The world is doomed*
We need this song now as much as we've ever needed it before. This is medicine.
I LOVE this song. It is so appropriate for what earth and us humans are experiencing now on our way to 5d New Earth. You can feel it if you go outside and walk in nature. The consciousness is rising and people all over the world are realizing we are ONE. 🙌🙌🙌
So True. We may look different but down deep we are the same. Those who love nature seem to be more conscious of things around them. And enjoy that beauty.
So mote it be Love and blessings ❤️🙏
This was played during my church service yesterday. A perfect daily devotional during this crazy time!
I remember this song SO WELL!!!! One of my most favorites. Yes, we truly did have THE BEST music ever!!!!
This may well be the best description of what God wants us to know and feel... God is love
Totally incredible song had a big influence on my generation. Everyone should hear this song and hopefully live by it
My Dad and my Uncle ( not blood but dad’s best friend ) used to open with their acoustic folk band with this song. My Dad Ellwood and Uncle Ronny were best friends since age 12 and I recently lost my pop. We lost Uncle Ronny in 2011… they were friends in a time when our country was facing such racial tension in the 1960s in Virginia. A white country boy and black boy . Unheard of. They loved each other and when they opened with this song acoustically it would make the room stand still . My dad was killed this year by a car and when I opened his bible sorting though his stuff to box it up I found the verse “ we are but a moments sunlight, fading in the grass” this is such a poignant song and hearing them sing it was such a gift
Thanks for sharing that !!
I'm so sorry for the loss of your dad. This is a beautiful song to bring back precious memories. ❤❤❤
@@denisev5427 thank you. I wish the world could hear those two sing this song. Their version was chilling!!! They would harmonize the beginning and then break into a beautiful acoustic version
at 70 yo this is still one of my all-time favorites.
I am 74 and still love this. There is a spiritual element to it, "When the one that left us here , Returns for us at last". We all need to do as it says.

My all time favorite! We had such good music in my generation! When I get cranky over todays noise blasting next door here is where I go☮️ So sweet and peaceful with a very good message, people are so angry these days!
This is the consumate 60s song. I was a bit young when it was released, but I still remember how it made me feel. Peace and love was the message.

Bonni , I understand completely , sometimes I feel so hypocritical .I was the long haired guy that never missed a war demonstration , and went anyway . It's been a while since I've heard this song. It summed up everything to me . Iooking down where my foot used to be the tears just flowed . I take it personal sometimes , like if I could've just down a little more I could've stopped the war . But your so right about the tears .I was born in Alsace ,France . Moved to Downey Calif. at 11yr. I only lived a couple of doors down and 2yrs. Later Karen Carpenter's family moved in . I would walk Karen to school everyday. I was a couple yrs. Older but she skipped a grade. She had a real crush on me .I went to the Marines and Vietnam .I took leave before going over . Karen ripped a dog-tag off saying " I'LL give it back when you come home. I spent 14 months in Balboa Hospital SanDiego .I flew back to L.A. ( 11 dollars , first class .champagne flight ). Getting off their was Karen , holding my dog-tags up in hand . tears really ran down our faces. We were very close . But a huge difference in the music we appreciated. Thats why Karen and brother had a though time getting started. It was acid rock days. If it wasn't for a local bank acepting there first song , that was played in many weddings They would have had a hard time getting a break. I married and moved. Karen's mom called when she died , I immediately jumped a plane . At the funeral her mother told me that Karen took a little bit of me with her , my dog-tag. Mom told me " she really adored you Niky " Karen always called me Nicky .You talk about tears !! When I hear one of her songs today , I still tear-up .My wife was ok and understood it. My tiny wife 5'0 90lb passed away at 45yrs.and we had a story-book romance . Again the tears. I understand your tears at your age. I'm not much older , when I hear or see somethings from the past , and think these things are trivial , believe me honey they are all from your heart and they will be there forever.
Amour Nicky.
@@bonnih6931
Bonni , again I thank you for your reply on my comment and both of our tears. I must admit I had a little too much Courvoisier ; Cognac in me , at 3am. I looked back at my comment back to you and can't believe I'd open up about personal events in my life that I've told no one . Especially about Karen Carpenter . She had a very overprotective mother and always thought she'd be protected with me , and she was right .I was the senior quarterback in highshool and she skipped a grade and was 2yrs.behind me , with a big crush on me. I didn't have the same feelings for her , causing her to be devastated .She hated gym class , so she messed around with instruments and got into drums , of all things , she just didn't strike me as a drummer . So they let her out of morning gym if she played the drums . She stuck to it and the rest was history .With my 1 foot I met a girl and married. Karen sang her " we've only just begun ". My wife asked her , not me . Her brother Richard was addicted to Qualude's. He made a jerk out of himself at the Reception , and fell over the punch-bowl .Karen always stayed in touch. We were always invited for Christmas , they always made a big deal out of . We went the first couple years , but then moved east .Never cared for Richard , and he new it. Well here I went again. With my Courvoisier at , 2am.I've still have no idea why I tell you of this , otherwise personal part of my life. So forgive me Bonni if you will .After thinking about this time I know I'll have a tear or two . So your not alone .
Amour Nicky ......
Dominic Devereaux I thought awhile before responding, but you actually seem a lot like me. I don't sleep well and spend many nights reading or listening to music online. The most important thing I wanted to say is: I wanted to call my second child Dominic, but I never had one. Second, some of my moms family came from Alsace Lorraine when it was Germany, not France. The others were LITHUANIAN. Anyway, I'm alone with my cats, coyotes, cicadas chirping in the night.

In 67, I was starting high school, and this haunting melody struck a chord in me. I happened upon it again a couple months ago, and now it repeatedly appears in my home page feed. Still drawn to it, compelled to click on n it again and again. The name Renée always resonated with me and may be significant. Not sure why, but I have a sense a hidden memory will soon become apparent. 😉 ✨️🪷🐧

Oct 2003. This is a message the world needs to hear. We are failing the love one another part.
There's a line in this song that nobody seems to hear, probably because they don't understand it (at 1:27). "When the One who left us here comes back for us at last" That's a direct reference to Jesus second coming to Earth, spoken to his disciples just before his crucifixion. He told them He would not "leave them as orphans" but send the Holy Spirit to be their comforter and counselor until He returns (the Second Coming). The passage is in John 14, 16-29. Look at the state of the world today and it's pretty evident it may be very soon.
Get so emotional every time I hear this 🤗 xx
Me too, beautiful song. Harmonies are perfect and the guitars solos, give me goosebumps!! 😉❤
