You can actually watch the recording session of Frank performing this song. Just so overwhelming!
Please check this out bro! The video content and his emotion expression is mind blowing!
Incredible watched that video
The beautiful orchestration on this tune tell just as much of a story as the lyrics do!
Wow! Ben, you're not kidding, the plucking of the violin strings, etc. the voice and orchestration both come together in an amazing way.
Of all the gorgeous Sinatra songs, including the fantastic background music, this is my favorite!
For me this is his finest. Melancholy, stunningly haunting and even enigmatic. So evocative of the stages of our lives. Maybe the best song ever to center on the processes of growing old gracefully. Your voice is greately missed.
Such a beautiful song. I'm 70 now, and I realize I in the autumn of my life. Those violins are just magnificent, and that clarinet!!!!
That Old Black Magic
Strangers In the Night
My Way
New York New York
Summer Wind
Beautiful song with a wonderful story. The charm of the older songs I think is the magnificent orchestras that accompanied these great singers.
Frank is great on his own but the instruments behind him place him on a higher level. Timeless. Thanks Harri.
Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
Frank is the story conveyor. the Story teller is the composer. That said, when I was a child of about 9 or 10, I was fascinated and still am by this song. It was the orchestral arrangement that really made this song great. It is a perfect marriage between the composer, the singer and orchestra. You can't do a song like this without the orchestra helping with the emotion and mood, or it falls flat, bland. Now that I am older, much older, this song has much more meaning of aging. the song was not about the singer, but the story, which many singers today miss the mark if they sing something like this for a vocal show off exercise.
This song brings back so many memories for me. It just takes me to a nice place.
This song has always felt haunting to me; I love it, and Frank Sinatra is priceless. As I get older, the song makes me feel my regrets as well as a melancholic sense of nostalgia; Frank Sinatra makes you FEEL the song.
It was like watching a classic movie in my mind or maybe a Broadway play. The music added the drama to the lyrics.
As Joni Mitchell wrote in the Circle Game, We are captives on the carousel of time! Quite an introspective song!
This is one of the earliest songs that I recall from childhood. "Blues in the Night" and "That's Life" also evoke feelings and memories from my toddler days.
Love this song! I usually play it for News Year Eve (a family tradition I guess but it is more relatable now) thanks for your reaction!
The Kingston Trio were the first to record this song in 1961. But it was made famous by Frank Sinatra in 1966 & he won a Grammy Award for it. The song is about someone that is older thinking back on his entire life & comparing it to vintage wine. All of his romances were sweet to him, like a wine from a very good vintage year.
Kingston Trio.....I don't think anyone has reacted to their music
My Frank Favorite: One For My Baby And One For The Road. Give that one a listen.
"Moonlight In Vermont" is high on my list also. This version. ruclips.net/video/08D9N4OigC4/видео.html
This song turns up at the very beginning of the Sopranos second season and wow, does it help tell the story. Sinatra is the best.
The music on its own makes your eyes well up … so beautiful.
Check out his equally evocative and nostalgic "Summer Wind" and "There Used to Be a Ballpark."
Summer wind his best!
One of my all time favorites, it’s hauntingly beautiful
C-L-A-S-S-I-C. What else is there to say? Terrific.
I am in the autumn of my life, late autumn. This song meant so much to me when I was young, it means ever so much more now. This song is so well arranged, and it is if Frank is singing us a story, the story of his life. It has such a hint of melancholy, bittersweet, and the closing of one's life story, but with dignity. This is, by far, my favorite song by 'Ole Blue Eyes!
I remember listening to the September of my Years album as a boy, and now the meaning of that concept album is even richer as I am, too, in the September of my years.
He's my favorite singer forever.
My favorite Sanatra song.
At the very beginning of the track just before he starts to sing you can actually hear his chair Creek as he swivels on his stool in the recording studio. No auto-tune. No special correction. Just incredible artists, Masters at their craft, soaring arrangements, and impeccable musicianship.
That was definitely one of Sinatra's best. He did an awesome job with the vocals and there was a pristine arrangement and playing from all musicians behind him now Harry, if you want to hear the best instrumental version of this song and it's definitely worth reacting to, try the version by Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass. No words in that version but I'm sure you'll agree with me that Herb and his band capture every one of the emotions and nostalgic vibes in the song.
Herb Alpert discovered the Carpenters. Herb had great taste.
Not only did he discover the Carpenters and signed them to his label but he also convinced them to record Close To You and suggested that they put that little piano hook after each chorus.
So wonderful! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Ol' Blue Eyes could sing ANY song & make it his own! His version of this song was used in Spike Lee's movie, "Jungle Fever". You were RIGHT, sir! Thank you for this reaction, sir!
Summer Wind is awesome
Fly me to the Moon as well.
Second favorite song of Franks to this one....
@@ogskarface6646 Summer Wind is my favorite
Mr. Sinatra was before my time but I love his music
My momma loved this song. Rise in paradise my beloved Momma ❤️
My favorite Sinatra song, and one of the sexiest songs ever written.
This is a song to life!!🙏🙏🙏💥💥💥🥀🥀
buona salute a cento anni,, good health for 100 years in Italian 👍
Yes. Harri : the Strings st against the without comparison Simatra vocals. This was like a mini symphony. I enjoyed this enormously
My favourite Sinatra album is 'September of my Years' from which this song is from.
Harri you are so right about needing life's experience to do this song.....except Angelina of course.
Nobody sings a song like Sinatra!
All I care about is screaming rock and roll...and this is one of my top ten songs of all time...the cream always rises to the top.
I love this song so much ❤
It’s about all the amazing relationships with loves young girls ladies and the excitement of it all then it soon will come to a close. Life and its memories!
I am 69 and in the fine vintage wine stage of my life. Heard it first when I was about 17. Where in the hell did the time go?? Does anyone else get that sensation when hearing this song??????
When I saw the partial thumbnail peeking up on my screen lauding his storytelling, I felt sure it was this song! A fave since it came out, thanks again, Harri, mate!! 8''>)
One of those haunting songs from childhood.
Great choice!
This is one of those songs that almost all adult men can identify with at least one part of this song. The best part is that Frank Sinatra puts into the song a feeling that he has lived what he is singing about. A very reflective song. One can almost see oneself setting in a leather chair in a dark room by a fireplace with a drink and a cigarette reflecting on ones life.
My favorite Sinatra song!
Just an amazing ballad
-Had to run a search on the channel to see if this guy's listening/reacting to Sinatra. Ok, he's 'legit', just subbed ;)
Some background: as stated below, Sinatra could sing any song and make it his own, and in this case it is even more true. Sinatra first heard this song written by Ervin Drake and originally performed by the Kingston Trio in 1961 as he drove in his car. That version by the hugely popular folk group of the time was not a big hit and was sparsely produced with two guitars in the background and whistling of the melody, Very nice in its own right still today, but Sinatra saw bigger things for it. He was central to his final version in its production with the assistance of his usual collaborative team, and the end production is my favorite of anything he ever did. As was mentioned below, the original recording session can be viewed as a video here on RUclips. It is amazing how casually, it seems, that this great artist could throw off such a thing of beauty, if you choose to watch.
Another version that is of note is that of Ray Charles with Willy Nelson in the time that Charles was in his dying process, thus adding real meaning and pathos to the version. The orchestration in that production is unexcelled and The Genius’ failing voice is somehow entrancing because we know he had to be contemplating his life and demise as he sang the words.
Magnificent song. I loved it when I first heard it, oddly enough, at 17..... 5 decades later it is as old Blue Eyes said- sweet & clear.
Cycles- Frank Sinatra is on of my favorites
Great song for Sinatra. I also like Lou Rawls' wonderful version.
I love The Turtles version of this. But they were young and went from age-21 to the end verse [skipping 35]. I'm going to listen to it right now. note: [ I just did. It was great especially the "...from the brim to the dregs..." part.] >
So funny that MJ covered this song. How odd! And what, 13? Did he also cover "Melancholy Man"? MacArthur Park?
What an exquisite song, Mr. Harri. And you're right. Those grand strings...how can I have that at my fingertips? Kurzweil?
What a treasure, this song. Did Sondheim write it?
I dig this song. Been a long time.
Quincy Jones dud all his arrangements on album.
They collaborate many times....
So classic and so amazing
Yes .. ..,...
A marvelous performance by Ol' Blue Eyes and one of his signature '60s songs. For a completely different, more "theatrical" rendition of this, you should "experience" the notorious William Shatner take: ruclips.net/video/U0GAjK64VZg/видео.html. He tries to act the song by changing his voice to match the age of the narrator in each stage of his life. Either so hilarious you laugh out loud or so overwrought that you just shake your head. Shatner had done a recording of Shakespeare verses in 1964. This was his follow-up for Caedmon Records. This album also includes his interpretations of "Mr. Tambourine Man" and "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" in a truly psychotic turn and came out just as Star Trek was entering its third and last season on TV. Sinatra and The Beatles could not have been amused.
John - you gotta love "Common People" with Joe Jackson !
@@robjohnson5872 Ben Folds found the right formula for that. Even Jarvis Cocker got a kick out of it. I still don't think Shatner "gets" any of these songs. With "Common People" I don't think as a North American he quite gets the class resentment Cocker is sarcastically presenting. He just thinks about emoting wildly. As opposed to Jarvis' sneer, Bill sounds like he'd kill. LOL.
One of my favorites.
The Chairman of the Board.
You didn’t mention it in the video and I don’t see it reading a few comments but the most impressive part of this song to me is that he changes his voice for every verse to sound like he’s older. Am I the only one who notices that?
A song for an aging man whos live a notable life.
Very special song lad
Frank Sinatra (The Voice) said the ONLY singer he would ever pay to listen to was Karen Carpenter. Pretty High Praise!
Arranged and conducted by the great Gordon Jenkins.
Didn't know that...thought it was Nelson Riddle. Incredible arrangement, so much emotion. Thanks for the info.
I had to look it up. If it's on the internet it must be true, right? LOL
@@Straydogger I looked it up too after seeing your comment and found the same thing, so I'd say it's true.
You should react to Disney and Dali "Destino"
Listen to sinatra with jobim album.
Great song ...Dean Martin I do prefer. Try An Evening in Roma, you're nobody Till somebody loves you, Everybody loves somebody, the street where you live, and of course any Nat king Cole! Sam Cooke live at the Harlem Square club/full album! Cheers!
check out What;ll I Do by Frank
I know the Michael Jackson performance of this song…it was a spoof…he even changed some of the words to bring it to his younger level. It wasn’t a serious performance. It was a spoof of Frank Sinatra.
That is definitely a movie tune I don't think this is a real song tho 😂. He was my one of my crushes as a child
Harri, pls listen to Sinatras album Watertown it’s amazing
How about Peggy Lee’s “One More Ride on the Merry go Round”.
As an oboist I've always loved this song but never paid much attention to the lyrics because I was too focused on the orchestration. It's a horrible curse I have that I honestly don't hear lyrics. Anyway, last winter I sang this at karaoke and realized it was about sleeping with tons of many women and then aging like a fine wine 😂. I hope the woke crowd doesn't get ahold of this and cancel it!
Its not a song its a poem.
Here is Frank recording this live with full orchestra. Great recording.

Harri, you could have let it run on for a few more seconds until he'd finished the final verse! A travesty to interrupt it at that point.
Harri love your comments and analysis. If you want, check out Frankie at his vocal and technical peak here doing 2 fast swing songs and 1 saloon song.

Also, check out the young tenor-like voice of Frankie before smoking and JD changed him.

Michael Jackson had no business at all singing this song. Francis did.
You should hear Homer Simpson's version
