I absolutely love this song, it's been 53 years or so and i love it as much as i did in 1969/1970. Great music with meaning. I'm much older now and do a lot of reflecting on my life.
Enjoy, our following generations just will never know what we had. Taking another angle listen to Merle Haggard Okie from Muskogee it wasn’t all roses.
Timeless nostalgic music, gorgeous Dean Ford with stunning voice. Beautiful times and great memories. Peace forever Dean. Thanks for this great song you've left us.❤
Tenho 65 a vida não é ruim nós é que estamos cansados.Mas a boa música está aí para nos lembrar o quanto já fomos felizes e ainda podemos continuar a ser. 🎶 🎵 🎶 🎵
Wonderful song. This was the era of GREAT music. So many different bands and different genres of music. Most of the stuff they produced still sounds as good today. Just playing a few songs from that era transports me back to happier times. The only advantage of living now is we have access to RUclips and other platforms which enable us to select our own personal favourites!
I don't care who disagrees.....this song is powerful. I was 13 when this song hit the airwaves. Beginning when I was a little kid, music always had a huge emotional impact on me. I have a brother who's 3 years older, who had a radio and listened to the local Top 40 station in '67 and '68 AND I spent LOTS of my summer days at the public pool back then, I was genuinely being compelled to process the power of mid to late 60s music. I'm part of the group of folks older than I am who maintain there'll never be another 60s when it comes to music.
My parents thought our music, long hair, and clothes were the end of the world. If that was our only problem now, I would be happy 😊. Those were good times. And we didn’t even realize just how good it was.
72 5 days ago and I remember this when it first came out and it was a very iconic record with a melancholic story beautiful lyrics and a sad but happy thread running through it. absolutely love this..rip Dean Ford
Yup. 50th high school reunion in a couple of weeks. The country has changed so much for the worse! Watergate was NOTHING compared to the shit going on now!!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
A thrift store I often shop at in the Denver area plays tracks of old songs from the 70s when I was a teen. Whenever they play this song it always stops me in my tracks. Today more than ever because I am planning to sell my house after experiencing a personal tragedy and move back to Hawaii, my "old home" where I lived in my 20s. I was literally crying in the aisle with my basket full of aloha shirts! lol. I looked up the song this evening on RUclips to listen to it again and same thing, tears flowing down my cheeks. The words, the music, the voices are so deep and profound, so beautiful to listen to. These musicians are clearly gifted souls able to touch our hearts in the deepest places. I scrolled down and read every comment. The comments also touched my heart and I truly appreciate the people who shared them here. I feel that perhaps I should listen to this song every day and that might just change my life. God bless.
Thoughts of my crippled, elderly, widowed mom brought me here. She will turn 88 yrs old in a few weeks. Seems like she is tired. Not tired from the day, but from life. I love you tons mom and don’t want you to die😢.
I love 50s 60s and 70s music,the best times for music with the 70s for me was just top of the pops,I sing a lot at home with hubby but wish there was more entertainment around these years in places around uk where we all could meet up safely
French boy in Montreal Canada deeply touch by the emotion of that sound without understanding the lyrics I search of this song for year. Rediscover it about 15 years ago and then I understood the lyrics and understood why it touch me that much as a 10years old French boy. Dean Ford could sing and make you feel raw emotions regardless of your comprehension of his language. August 4th. 2024 I lost my wife to glioblastoma brain cancer, after 43 years of marriage, now this song became an obsession it really represente how I feel. It help me to cry and try to make sense of my life. Now my lovely wife Josée and Dean are at the same place in the memory of our creator and I have no doubt that he will wake them up (John 5:28,29). I believe this but for now and the last 10 months of Josée life my life can easily be compare to a nightmare. Anyway one of the most emotional and powerful song of all time. Thank to Dean and the marmalades
Sublime. If this were the only thing Dean Ford, Junior Campbell and the band did, it would be enough for a lifetime. But they did so much more! A true gift to the people of the era and to posterity.
Born in 1959. Listen to the radio as much as I could back then growing up. All those great songs from the 50's thru the 80's still sound great compared to what ever the hell these kids are listening to nowadays
Class of '70 here.. It's tough, real tough.. Having lived in a time when America was.. Take a glance in that rearview mirror.. But don't stare into it.. 'Lest you crash and burn.
It' a song I've liked for a long time, but recently I've been reflecting on its meaning. I'm listening to it again. Dean foord"s voice is so beautiful and wonderful.
I was a babyboomer i grew up with this kind of music but now when i look back i feel so sad and angry my youth has gone so has the music and the worst of all my country has gone as well.
This came out the year my brother and I started our record collections when I was 12 and he was 11. It was played regularly on 93 XRT Chicago during the 70s and 80s. It was extra special to hear this song on the FM radio in my Chevette on my way back to my childhood home during visits there in the late 70s.
Nací en el 59 y moriré feliz de haber vivido junto con tantas maravillosas canciones de hombres que para mi son como que hubieran venido a la tierra de un mundo celestial para hacernos recordar qué el verdadero amor si existe y la ayuda a nuestros prójimos debe ser eterna
Amen, I wouldn't change anything! Born in 1961, no matter the issues that were going on then, I wouldn't want to be 20 something today, no way! God bless you and yours!✌️
Probably one of the greatest songs of all time written by Dean Ford (Thomas McAleese) from Springboig in Glasgow. and Junior Campbell from Airdrie. RIP Thomas.
I just turned 75, Marine Nam Vet and I think I’m lucky to have lived through the music of the 50s to 2000. I had this song on my playlist, I thought anyway, so I had to think of the groups name and thankfully, it did.
This was a frequent play when I was in Nam with 101st south of DMZ. Sorta fit the general mood of the situation there I guess. One of those songs that sticks with you, for sure.
Som espectacular! Fui jovem nesta época... que saudades! Marmelade, Beatles, Stones, Everly Brothers, Herman's Hermits, Hollies, Bee Gees e muitas outras bandas. Hoje, o som que está na moda, não bate com meu gosto!
In an obscure little East-European country, with a communist regime at that time, in a little recreation village at a holiday site there was a "wurlitzer". A record changer machine filled with 45 rpm vinyls, dropped a coin of the local current (called Forints) to get one of the records played. THIS was the only one to enjoy, nobody knew how it's got percheased, but we sat around some friends and my love at the time, and we dropped the coin time after time to listen again and again... We didn't understand much, our English was less than basic, but loved this music. So now, 53 years later - it raises memories, thoughts, feelings, sentiments - we didn't know how happy we should have been living, being young, healthy, strong, full with feelings, love - and future. Strange to think back, living in an other country, understanding the lyrics, raising the memories, smiling - yes, those were the times... Love you Eva, I always will.
*Reflections of My Life* - Song by Marmalade - The changing of sunlight to moonlight Reflections of my life Oh, how they fill my eyes The greetings of people in trouble Reflections of my life Oh, how they fill my eyes Oh, my sorrows Sad tomorrows Take me back to my own home Oh, my crying (oh, my crying) Feel I'm dying, dying Take me back to my own home I'm changing, arranging I'm changing I'm changing everything Everything around me The world is A bad place A bad place A terrible place to live Oh, but I don't want to die Oh, my sorrows Sad tomorrows Take me back to my own home Oh, my crying (oh, my crying) Feel I'm dying, dying Take me back to my own home Oh, my sorrows Sad tomorrows Take me back to my own home

The generation of what is right and what is wrong, not woke.

True That!

Eu também ❤
What a great time in music, the 70’s ✌🏼😎
Great music from the very best musical generation! Far removed from today's trash!
People said the EXACT same thing about music from this era.
Timeless nostalgic music, gorgeous Dean Ford with stunning voice. Beautiful times and great memories. Peace forever Dean. Thanks for this great song you've left us.❤
The line “The World is a bad place …. A terrible place to live” certainly fits todays World 😡🤬🤬🤬
You are right
At least be thankful to all of the self-serving corrupt politicians that helped make it what it is!
"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.........."
Yes,yet is the terrible true
Concordo plenamente...
Amazing how it sounds even more relevant today.
Fantastic song, very meaningful....good will always triumph over evil, always believe in that.....stay positive and 'keep the faith' ❤
I miss my husband and remember him as the best man I ever Loved!
Best husband too❤!
take care
In my humble opinion the music from the 60s and 70s is much, much better than todays. Keep in mind that I only saw the light of day in 1969...
I mostly agree but there is some good stuff if you dig enough
No,the atmosphere is not there ,,,,,At all...😊😊😊😊😊@@derianimp
@@BradAdams-fu4qx I disagree. Ive heard great stuff and really unique stuff.

back then, it was a better time. I was there and now I"m 76 and life sucks.

Born in 1953 I’ve seen everything and always said we had the best music back then.
My dad was 1954 and I agree with him he had the best music
Our 50s & 60s music will live forever ❤
I'm with you all the way with that m8👍
Forgot to say i was born in 1953
1955 🎉🎉🎉
I'd give anything to go back to this time and period when things were simple and with heartfelt music.
Except for that damn , useless, political war that took too many lives.
@RBS314 I totally agree, I lost some relatives in WW2 and a cousin in Vietnam for nothing.
@@mommaweathers3620 1961, Eisenhower, a Republican, warned us about the military-industrial complex.
@jglee6721 I've heard all about it and the sad part is our country is in shambles because of it and probably all over the world.

Always love this in the 70 and still today August 8 2024

They love Let the Sunshine alot.😊😊😊
This is a masterpiece. What a beautiful music!
So glad I grew up when I did!
So sad for my kids and grandkids though 😔❤️🕊️
This song is pure genius and true emotion. Dean Ford, your music and meaningful lyrics ring true and live on today and likely will forever.
One of the best songs from the 60s, 1969 it was remember it as if it was yesterday, the golden age ❤
Oh how they fill my eyes ❤ tears of sadness and joy
Will never be another generation like ours. We were the best.
ABSOLUTELY 💯
The best music, best parties, best clubs, best cars, best motorcycles, fun clothes, best party favors, best vacations, best friends.....
@@plsavage I STILL HAVE ALL THAT BUT NOT THE DRINKING OUT TO CLUBS....😊🙂😘

No!!
First time I heard this song I was in basic training in 1970 in Texas and they had a juke box that played constantly and this song was played alot! 👍😎

Timeless classic.
Still love this song!
My all time favourite song. Touches my heart like no other
When life was easy and Love was limitless we had more acceptance and less judgemental attitudes... So glad I was born in the sixties..
Young punk
Me too. it truly was a golden time. Some might say it's false memory syndrome but the evidence is there on video.
Verdade.
I was born 1953 we had the best memories
My parents thought our music, long hair, and clothes were the end of the world. If that was our only problem now, I would be happy 😊. Those were good times. And we didn’t even realize just how good it was.
65 here and dont recognize this world , a world we tried so hard to bring peace n love for future generations 😪
It all went wrong.
one of my favourite bands
You are not alone!! 😊😊😊
Hi from France! 64. Same for me . Bad and sad new world.

Thank you very much for doing it right and uploading it to the world.
Thank you very much.
Yes, thank you. I cry through the entire song, it's so deep and profound.

Unbelievable voice and,fit to boot.
In an obscure little East-European country, with a communist regime at that time, in a little recreation village at a holiday site there was a "wurlitzer". A record changer machine filled with 45 rpm vinyls, dropped a coin of the local current (called Forints) to get one of the records played.

So now, 53 years later - it raises memories, thoughts, feelings, sentiments - we didn't know how happy we should have been living, being young, healthy, strong, full with feelings, love - and future.
Strange to think back, living in an other country, understanding the lyrics, raising the memories, smiling - yes, those were the times...

*Reflections of My Life*
- Song by Marmalade -
The changing of sunlight to moonlight
Reflections of my life
Oh, how they fill my eyes
The greetings of people in trouble
Reflections of my life
Oh, how they fill my eyes
Oh, my sorrows
Sad tomorrows
Take me back to my own home
Oh, my crying (oh, my crying)
Feel I'm dying, dying
Take me back to my own home
I'm changing, arranging
I'm changing
I'm changing everything
Everything around me
The world is
A bad place
A bad place
A terrible place to live
Oh, but I don't want to die
Oh, my sorrows
Sad tomorrows
Take me back to my own home
Oh, my crying (oh, my crying)
Feel I'm dying, dying
Take me back to my own home
Oh, my sorrows
Sad tomorrows
Take me back to my own home
I give up on that song .I love it and don't ... God! I love it forever yes
