I'm listening to this song tearing up. Glen Campbell was my first idol. A little black girl growing up in the sixties at age five listen to gentle on my mind on he haw
Bleu Drea , gentle on my mind was and is a great piece of music. So many great ones over the years. Yester me, yester you, yesterday. Life started for me in 1964, experienced some of the best music there could possibly be.
He was truly a music legend with a soul. His music was and still is pleasant to listen, uplifting and meaningful. I listened to him when I was a teenage living in Hong Kong, and his music transcended nationality, ethnicity and culture. Perhaps he didn't see himself as such, but he was an international star who made lives a little bit more pleasant to many people in the world. We are blessed to have him lived among us for a period of time. May he rest in peace.
I learned this song since 18 when I played the guitar. It make me want to cry..........Now, I’m 50 and I want to say, “Yesterday when I was young”........Thank you for posting this song!
Glen is gone, and I turned to RU-vid to listen to the songs that were on the radio when I was young. I turn 50 this year, and it hurts to know the artists who played the soundtrack of my youth are disappearing.
Yesterday when i was young I did not appreciate so many of these artists who are leaving this earth. I never realized how much music Glen Campbell gifted to us!!! Rest in Music!!!!
Witchita Lineman, I can still remember back in the mid 60,s I was just a kid, I'd always be listening to My Father's 8 Track Cassette player, 8 Track Cassette, Anybody remember that? Anyway, if Always be listening to Glen Campbell's music,l I loved those Songs he'd sing, he was Great, Glen Campbell, R.I.P..👍🙏
I grew up listening to this song in the radio and to my dad. My parents are music lovers and I have so many cousins that are singers too like Brenda Lee, James Taylor, Elvis Presley, Amy Grant, Carpenters, John Taylor of Duran Duran, Gilbert O''Sullivan😊( I dont know why Gilbert switched to Major Minor)..lols
Dear Glenn: Thank you so very much for all the wonderful music you gave to us over the years. You will be remembered by millions of people who fell in love listening to your soothing and beautiful voice. An, millions more..... May you continue to sing in heaven with God. August 8, 2017. God Bless you. Peggy Hunter
My mom loved Glen Campbell. She died far too young at 38 in 1978. Listening to this 46 years later takes me back to many wonderful memories of my mom and my childhood! Thanks Glen.
Yesterday when I was young .. 1981 .. I was 18 .. Me and the world were still innocent .. fast forward .. today 2016 .. totally collapsing violent world .. and I am 53 years old grumpy man -:)
+M. H. - Don't say that... to be grumpy is not your or anybody's fault.. it is our environment, surroundings and people around us who provoke it... I'm pretty sure you're a nice and good person M.H. .. thank you so much for checking this posting out... have a wonderful weekend.
Yes the great Moose was only 21 in 1981 but now is a much wiser and enlightened man of 57. This world will never enjoy peace but music such as this can provide a deeper sense of what life should be as everyone grows older.
the world is not an innocent place. As noted in the song, it has so much pain, pride and arrogance. Nothing is permanent. You are the only one who can find your own reason for living your life.
He was so blessed. I just love the emotion and feeling that he puts into every song that he sings. I lost my husband 2 years ago to Alzheimers,. with every passing month it takes away a little part of the person , until all you have are memories. Pray for a cure.
The cure to Alzheimer’s is first and foremost, don’t take cholesterol lowering drugs. They deplete the myelin surrounding the brain and cause this disease. To reverse this condition, stop those nasty drugs and start eating a minimum of 6 eggs a day, either fried in butter or soft boiled. Refer to Dr Joel Wallace for more information.
What a terrific song for a dreary morning. He was young then and today he's in a home last I heard. He was fun to be around in the 80s when in LA area. Nice video Tito. Good Mornin
I will always remember and listen to Glenn he was a remarkable singer songwriter and I just love listening to him and I hope to be able to listen to hear his sweet voice on my death bed!💖💖💖
I've always loved his music and he was a great musician ..I look forward to covering this song I just hope that I can do as good ,,He'll be very missed !!
+William Fabrey - Oh no! Don't say that... just do everything that'll make you happy... Please.... enjoy the remaining years to the fullest and you won't regret it.
Thank Felix for posting this...it can be a sad song or it can be a great way of seeing where you've been and how you've grown over the years! I choose to see the bright side of things, I will be 72 this month, July, and I feel great! I gave my life over to the Lord 25 years ago and am a full time missionary in Central America...I feel more alive today than I ever did when i was 48 and I even feel healthier. Prayer and faith have been my daily companions and the more I help the really poor here in the mountain villages the more blessed I feel. Life is awesome! He can come and take me home whenever He wants but until that day I will keep giving away what He has given me...Hope! You have a blessed day!
Esta es una de las canciones que cuando la escuchas te hacen recordar los momentos más sublimes de tu vida cuando eras joven y que aún pueden perduar para hacerte feliz gracias Glen. Te recordaremos por siempre.
Yesterday, when I was young The taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue I teased at life as if it were a foolish game The way the evening breeze may tease a candle flame The thousand dreams I dreamed, the splendid things I planned I always built to last on weak and shifting sand I lived by night and shunned the naked light of the day And only now I see how the years ran away Yesterday, when I was young So many happy songs were waiting to be sung So many wild pleasures lay in store for me And so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out I never stopped to think what life was all about And every conversation I can now recall Concerned itself with me and nothing else at all Yesterday the moon was blue And every crazy day brought something new to do I used my magic age as if it were a wand And never saw the waste and emptiness beyond The game of love I played with arrogance and pride And every flame I lit too quickly, quickly died The friends I made all seemed somehow to drift away And only I am left on stage to end the play There are so many songs in me that won't be sung I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue The time has come for me to pay for Yesterday, when I was young
For all men were by nature foolish who were in ignorance of God, and who from the good things seen did not succeed in knowing him who is, and from studying the works did not discern the artisan; But either fire, or wind, or the swift air, *the governors of the world, they considered gods. Now if out of joy in their beauty they thought them gods, let them know how far more excellent is the lord than these; for the original source of beauty fashioned them. Or if they were struck by their might and energy. let them from these things realize how much more powerful is he who made them. For from the greatness and the beauty of created things their original author, by analogy, is seen But yet, for these the blame is less; For they indeed have gone astray perhaps, though they seek God and wish to find him. For they search busily among his works, but are distracted by what they see, because the things seen are fair. But again, not even these are pardonable. For if they so far succeeded in knowledge that they could speculate about the world, how did they not more quickly find its Lord? ................................... Jesus O Savior I know not if you are real Come Come live in me .. Save me ! Amen and Amen .................................. Revelations 22:17 The Spirit and the bride say. "Come." Let the hearer say, "Come." Let the one who thirsts come forward, and the one who wants receive the gift of life giving water.
Just listen to the lyrics of this song. They should strike a chord with most anyone. Fantastic piece of songwriting and sung by one of the finest singers in country music. Wonderful!
WHEN I WAS YOUNG, I WAS POOR. BUT AFTER YEARS OF HARD, HONEST PAINSTAKING WORK, I’M NO LONGER YOUNG. I STILL REMEMBER DURING MY YOUNGER DAYS LATE 70s I GUESS, WHEN I HEARD THIS SONG AND IT MAKES ME FEEL EMOTIONAL AND I DON’T KNOW WHY???
I grew up as a young teen in the 70's and can't remember hearing this song it does sound familiar though they just didn't play it often what a masterpiece.
This poignant song is an antidote to that karaoke favorite 'I did it my way'. The Sinatra standard is a song who's words suggest a self centered individual who didn't care about anybody else but himself and still doesn't realize it
i heard this song last year 4 the 1st time and i must say iam 36 now an i will love this when i am 100 this is time less i love the old years wonderfull it is i am from holland ..but i love the usa artits amazing songs and music
I am a nurse and my father died of Alzheimer's and with Glen's pictures over the years, you can see in his eyes that coupled with his addictions, decade by decade he was slowly drifting away. He was a handsome devil when he was young but time and tide took their toll. RIP Glen.
Mr. Fabrey, great choice, lets hope that its a long time from now. Netflicks has a show on Glen and show his family handled his altzheimers, very moving.
For all our days pass away under your wrath; we bring our years to an end like a sigh. The years of our life are seventy, or even by reason of strength eighty; yet their span is but toil and trouble; they are soon gone, and we fly away. (Psalm 90:9-10)
My reference is to the Motley Fool stock advisor promising to tell you about the up and coming, booming POT industry. It is all marketing bullshit. The Motley Fool's need to retire and go the way of the dinosaurs...
Great listening to music from my younger days . This one, plus EJ's Crocodile Rock and EP's American Trilogy and RS's Satisfaction. Those 4 would be a good set for starters.
Very meaningful it’s attached your soul while you are young the happiness you taste ang now you about there in bed the rest of your life waiting the final day.just yesterday never comeback.
Great taste in music Felix . Great Song . Beautiful . It could be at the beginning of a Great movie before the story. Or at the end as the credits are passing by on the screen . Thanks for posting it .
The summer of 1975 16 years of age , when everything in my life was going go to my way , by 1976 I tasted reality. I am still living on hope, rest in peace Mrs Diane H .
