I cry every single time I hear this. I'm not even exaggerating. Literally every single time I hear this song I cry. This song reminds me of my grandmother that passed away. My mom wasn't around much when I was a child, in a way my grandmother was a mom to me. What really gets me is the lyric " I could die I love you so" that gets me every time. I'm a very cynical person, so you know when I say that my grandmother was the kindest human being in the world, I really mean it. She loved every human being or animal that she came into contact with. I love her and I miss her and her husband every single day of my life.
^^virtual hug, you're not alone. There are a lot of good beings on earth. All of them know the feeling of loss. Respect for speaking your mood, stay true!
KeithRose exactly the same situation here. Currrently crying my eyes out. My grandmother passed almost 2 years ago, & she raised me. I came to listen to this song for that specific reason, this song is mine to her. I miss her so much. sending love & good vibes your way.
Don't know how many of you know this, but those are basically the Crickets, Buddy Holly's original band, playing behind the Everlys. Drummer Jerry Allison & bassist Joe B. Mauldin.
These lyrics hit really deep. Think just for a second, the line “only trouble is gee wiz I’m dreaming my life away”. Think about how sad that is. Instead of living his life he’s laying there dreaming about somebody he really wants that he can’t have when he’s awake. Such powerful stuff. Truly inspiring music they had back then
It depends on your perspective. First, it's only a figure of speech (to dream one's life away) and he's just being figurative in the song lyrics just as most love song lyrics are figurative. But apart from this, many people are waking up to the realization that too much emphasis in life is placed on doing and achieving instead of dreaming/imagining and just being. Even Einstein famously said, "Intelligence isn't measured by a person's knowledge and achievements, but by their capacity to dream and imagine." There's nothing sad about people who are tuned into their creative selves and dream/imagine more than most. The sad people are those who strive to achieve goals in order to justify their existence to others and to themselves while losing out on ever connecting deeply with their own selves and imagination.
Very sad, but this is music we’ll never hear again in the radio.. real music, not the crap we have today… I was born in 1978, got 3 kids and the only music I put while driving is from 50’s to early 2000’s, the rest… well if you are watching this video you know what I mean…
@@pjscafee’s absolutely right this song was the first of not one of the first to song to top multiple charts Country, R&B, and Hot 100 and even simultaneously in 1 year. Then re-entered Hot 100 3 years later
This song reminds me of a girl, That I have been in Love with for 44 years Now. From the moment I met Her in 1974. Though I Never got to marry Her. But wanted to be. She always in My Heart, My Mind, and Soul. I Never stop Thinking of her, Susan Lynn P. ( of Beaver, PA. ) This is a No. 1 Song. It makes me hurt of what I lost. But All I Have to is Dream. ( Of Her ) This Song means a lot to me. Thank you Everly Brothers.
My favorite Everly Brothers song of all time. It's a timeless beautiful classic. It was their distinctive voices blended together in gorgeous harmony that made their music so special. They were true originals. Paul McCartney said in an interview about them, that when he and the others first formed the Beatles they were each going to do solos. Until he heard the Everly Brothers. Then he realized the beauty of power of harmony. That changed everything for him. They inspired so many great musicians who came after them. Their songs have stood the test of time, the true measure of greatness. I am just grateful that there was a Phil and Don Everly. We were truly blessed. RIP Phil. Thanks for the music. Don, condolences and stay strong. Thanks to you, too, for the music.
In case people don't know but Phil Everly has died ages 74. What a sad loss to the music world. Arguable one half of the greatest harmony/music duo in history
Merci pour ce partage en live J'aime beaucoup The Everly Brothers Leurs voix sont charmantes et c'est un réel plaisir de les entendre et de les voir Un réel moment de bonheur
I had the great privilege to see these cute guys when they first hit pop charts, back when my mom last took me to Buck Lake Ranch down near Angola, in Indiana! They were electricking to watch! Their guitar strumming, and their harmonies while singing were perfect! I forget what all they sang {3 songs) And all the teenagers were whistling, cheering & applauding. Sweet memories.
What a super classic song from so many years ago. Many memories of my much younger years. Rest in peace Don and Phil. Your music will live on forever. 😍
I was 12 years old when I first heard this song 🎵. It takes me back to the 50's. Such a great era because everything was cheaper then. I remember I could get a coke for 10 cents. This song was playing on the jukebox the day I meet my husband. Good memories.
Impossible not to like. Clearly one of the top ten love songs EVER! This song takes you on a 3 minute romantic journey you never want to come back from. I’m a bigger fan of the 60’s music over the 50’s but the Everly Brothers could have released it in 60’s or even today in 2019 and it still would be a monster hit. Timeless.
boys club,city streets,italian lemon ice,summer,arm-punching..time stood still when this song came on the radio,as it should..even for us almost,but not yet teen aged boys on the streets,it was a couple of minutes of magic..maybe even a promise of a girl of your own..but you kept it to yourself..i think the dream is the only constant that last through your life..thank you don and phil,for planting the seeds
It's 1959 and my big sister & her good friend are taking me to the movies and we're queued up outside the Astoria and they are harmonizing this very song cause they are great fans of the E Brothers and they've been practising for months and they are quite good at it. And nobody is fussed by us singing in the queue cause everybody is young and hopeful and romantic and everybody knows the Brothers & their song.
Hypnotically sentimentally amazing!! I've loved this song ever since I was a kid when it first came out. It's one of those FOREVER SPECIAL songs in my life!! Thanks, Don and Phil. RIP
Oh, what I would give just to turn back time when music was this great. I wasn't born until 1961, but nevertheless, I LOVE listening to The Everly Brothers, The Righteous Brothers, Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons, The Beach Boys, Jan and Dean, etc.
Why would you say that? They definitely are, but I never met them. Famous people do have relatives! lol I'm not a liar, believe what you want, I couldn't care less. Axl Rose wrote "Sweet Child O' Mine" for my cousin, Erin Everly BTW
Not everyone has an ear for "Music".These two and many others, were the pioneers for everything that has followed since. This is a great song done by very talented musicians. You have the right not to like, just don't do it publicly because you only embarrass yourself!
The amount of usage of hair oil, expensive suits, ties and ironed shirts with starched collar take so much time and effort few of us is really bothered if it's not mandatory, there's probably good singers around today as well.
Fascinated by this marvelous video full of beautiful I listened with delight this amazing song Thanks et congratulations ...... for this precious creation
En el año 1958 llegó al nº 1. Es una gran balada interpretada de forma magistral por los dos hermanos con unas increíbles armonías vocales. "Cuando quiero que estés en mis brazos, cuando me siento triste en la noche y necesito abrazarte fuerte, todo lo que tengo que hacer es soñar. Quiero hacerte mía, probar tus labios de vino en cualquier lugar, día y noche. El único problema es que estoy desperdiciando mi vida soñando". Dream, dream, dream, dream Dream, dream, dream, dream When I want you in my arms When I want you and all your charms Whenever I want you, all I have to do is Dream, dream, dream, dream When I feel blue in the night And I need you to hold me tight Whenever I want you, all I have to do is Dream I can make you mine, taste your lips of wine Anytime night or day Only trouble is, gee whiz I’m dreamin’ my life away I need you so that I could die I love you so and that is why Whenever I want you, all I have to do is Dream, dream, dream, dream, dream I can make you mine, taste your lips of wine Anytime night or day Only trouble is, gee whiz I’m dreamin’ my life away I need you so that I could die I love you so and that is why Whenever I want you, all I have to do is Dream, dream, dream, dream Dream, dream, dream, dream
