My husband and I were married over 50 years. He always said "Every time I hear Unchained Melody, I think of you." He was a wonderful man. I lost him to cancer Dec. 11, 2014.
Im sorry for your lost, Vietnam was a war USA started for no reason no body was threating USA just like Iraq, Iran, Korea, Lybia, Yugoslavia, USA has blood up to her neck.
For what it's worth, lost my wife to cancer in March. This song pulls at my heart, I miss her terribly terribly. 33 years of ups and downs. Just found out I have cancer as well. Refused treatment, just want to go home. I need the pain to stop. God bless
I lost my husband to cancer in March also. We were together for 41 years. He was my life. I feel just like you. If I found out I had cancer, I would refuse treatment. I just don't want to live without him. God bless you, Robert
I"m 62 years old and have been alone for many years, but every time I hear this song I am taken back to those moments when I was still a young man and I kissed the love of my life for the first time...and the last time I kissed her. I lost her finally in 1982. I have always loved her. I always will. And that is enough. Those memories of her--of us-- will live in my heart until I breathe my last.
This is my mother and fathers song,and tragically we lost him 7 yrs ago to suicide and every valentines day I play this song for her and hold her so close and remind her that he lives through me their son. Thank you everyone who took the time to read this.
"so, however painful and tragic the end of this story became to, now you know that once upon a time, in the same room, of the same house, fifty years apart, clay and george davidson had loved each other.”
This song just gives me the urge to hug my wife and tell her that I love her. She’s my best friend she helped me through the hardest part of my life. She sits next to me at dialysis and when I opened my eyes after having open heart surgery she was the first face I saw. And it made me feel like I was going to be ok. I love you Anita
Do it while you can Adam....No one is promised a tomorrow....Gather her in your arms and hold her close.....This is for all that can't...For us that time ran out...
I’m 79 & living in an assisted living facility( listen to this song every day!! Saw them in Concert twice & they were incredible! Unchained melody is one of my all time favorites! Hope to keep listening to this song til I get to the Pearly Gates & hope others enjoy it as much as I do so will listen to it there
+Kevin Casey ......cannot tell you that I know your pain but I feel the same way about this kind of music....God bless and never let those memories go!
+Kevin Casey So sorry to learn of your loss. Been there myself, so I have some idea of your pain, although we didn't even get 5 years. Please know that you're not alone.
I'm sitting outside the funeral home for my Dad's funeral listening because we sang this every week coming home from church when I was little. My Dad was a good man and I'll always have this memory.
Hold onto it as strong as you can. Always traumatic to lose someone close. Literally in your case, metaphorically in mine. Pain still hurts though. Rip to your lost one✌️
I was 19 years old when Unchained Melody was released. Over the years I had 3 girlfriends who all wanted to make it "our song"! I'm now 77 and I don't think I have ever heard a more beautiful song.
My wife and I were dating when this song first came out and it quickly became our favorite song of all time. The Lord has Blessed our marriage now for more than 50 years and it is still our favorite song. After 50 years of marriage, I still light up inside every time she enters the room. Blessed, Thank You Jesus.
It’s a song that has transcended time. I don’t remember who originally made it and maybe it was the Righteous brothers, but I think it came out in the early 60’s. Does anyone have a date?
Bobby was doing this song " live" on the Andy Williams show in 1965, a live performance with no autotune, one take. What a god given voice bobby had. A very blessed individual. Any song that he sang, he put his own "spin" on it. He is dear l y missed after all these years, we are fortunate that we have the 🎶 to still listen too.
Well the masterpiece was the entire song and production. Certainly his vocal performance was magic, and in a class of its own, but it's best appreciated with that production and musicians backing it. I couldn't imagine that wonderful vocal being without it. That together, makes up the song we love.
C Xpress Yes, I'm72 and they played at the Union Hall a block away in the 1960's when I was in High School in So.California. Wow ! where did those years go ? I married my h.s sweetheart in 1965 , he's passed 12 .5 yrs. ago and I have our memories and music. Thankful for those . God bless us all.
You'll be a god damn fossil too there laddie so don't toot your horn too loud hahaha. From a swimming little spermizoa to a fossil. That is ALL human life.
"once upon a time, in the same room, of the same house, fifty years apart, clay and george davidson had loved eachother." - Flowers From 1970 bye m sobbing bye
There, you see? They always claimed that rock and roll would lead the younger generation astray and nobody ever believed me when I insisted that it was the Waltz that was evil. And I can't even dance...
I'M TOUCHED!! YOU WILL CERTAINLY SEE YOUR BELOVED MOTHER AGAIN IN HEAVEN. IT'S A MATTER OF TIME AND FAITH!! TAKE CARE!! ABSOLUTELY EXQUISITE MUSIC THAT MAKES ME FEEL EMOTIONAL!!!! 😊
This was my wedding song . This was the song my wife closed her eyes too and made her way to heaven to become a bright star in the sky, I miss you sue more than words can say ❤️
Hi Paul. We have the last same name. We are originally from Brooklyn by way Cork Ireland. This song brings me to tears. May your wife Rest In Peace. God bless Tom Desmond
An all time classic.They'll be playing this on RU-vid and radio stations around the world in the next 100 years and beyond.Mark my words : )May 7th 2023.
I lost my Mother to Cancer 5 years Ago she Was the only one in my entire family who understood my problems with Depression and Isolation after she died I had to live with my Dad and Stepmother Who didn't understand at All and sent me to group homes The rest of the family has emotionally abused and Isolated me from almost All other Family. SHE WAS MY TRUE MOTHER.
I lost mine two years ago December 8th. He was also 32. It's hard but it does get a little better with time. 32 us just too young.. I feel your pain. You're not alone. Stay strong..
When we got married, years ago, this was the song at our wedding. My wife passed away in July from cancer, and listening to this song hurts, but in a good way. Loved ones leave, but love and a classic song like this endures.
Woah, my love, my darling I've hungered for your touch A long, lonely time And time goes by so slowly And time can do so much Are you still mine? I need your love I need your love God speed your love to me Lonely rivers flow To the sea, to the sea To the open arms of the sea, yeah Lonely rivers sigh "Wait for me, wait for me" I'll be coming home, wait for me Woah, my love, my darling I've hungered, hungered for your touch A long, lonely time And time goes by so slowly And time can do so much Are you still mine? I need your love I need your love God speed your love to me
I am 67 and feel the same way Jay. Bobby Hatfield was one of THE most under-rated voices of all time. No one could touch him on a ballad/love song. Sad we lost him...
@@chrispraulent9036 Buy low, sell high. Makes you money every time. The trick to it is: money will never make you happy. Graveyards in Hollywood are full of sad millionaires.
I'm 64 and Never had a love in my Life. EVERY time I hear this i imagine what it must be like to have someone to.feel that way about. I wish I could experience that before it's too late. I'm jealous of all of you; but, i am glad you got to experience that with another real, live person and not just a fantasy.
@@robertwhite8528 I understand what you're saying, but I don't know that what I've dealt with is better. I met this guy in middle school and we "went steady" for three years. We split up, each got married to others, had children and went through divorces. We then met up again and we were together for two and a half years. When I found out he was cheating on me, I split up with him again. The only problem was that, for me, he was the one. That was over thirty years ago and my heart still hurts. I dated others, but he was still it. Even though he's now deceased, I still love him. I always wanted a forever relationship. I didn't get it either.
I am 39 and my dad mam always dance this song slowly together at birthday or new years. i miss them so much. Me and two sisters have such great memory of this song my dad and mam dance at when they was young. Godbless from The Netherlands and love to all family's.
Getting married on 10/28/23. We plan to have this song as our first dance. This song was always played for me growing up and I’m ecstatic that it’ll have a place on my wedding day.
Overwhelminglyanxious well done both of you !! You could not have chosen a better fitting song, maybe perhaps " a time for us" from West side story, which does a solo on that song and makes it his own. Congrates, be happy, long live to you both.
The love of my life passed away unexpectedly October 18, 2023 at home while I was at work. I'm lost, I just wat to go home. We had 34 years, and our hearts were one.
"the flowers were you and me" "once upon a time in the same room, of the same house, fifty years apart, clay and george davidson loved eachother" sorry for making you cry =)
This was my sister and brother-in-law’s first dance as husband and wife. I cry when I hear this because my sister passed away recently and brings those memories back. I love you so much sis, my heart is broken and my life is shattered. You are finally happy, free, and no more pain. RIP my beautiful sister.
Went to Nam in 67 hoped and prayed she would wait for me . In Nam 22 months and 11 days she sent me a letter everyday and she met when I stepped off the plane we were married in five days spent 31 years together before she went to heaven. Three beautiful children and 9 grand children. I will always miss you and need you someday soon.
My girl friend of a year was telling me how wonderful she found men in uniform !!! So in 1965 (age 17) I joined the Army and went to Vietnam !!! 13 months later when I returned she answered the door with her NEW boyfriend !!! She found out she was against the Vietnam war and was a peace loving hippy !!! Well, at least she waited until I got home !!! The best advice I can give you, DO what you think is best !!! The ONLY person that knows you and your situation best is YOU !!! Good luck brother !!!
My wife and I started dating when we were in high school. After graduation I joined the Corp and she went to college. We both wanted to get married but I was afraid of leaving a 18 year old widow with a child so we waited I am glad we did. She was a beautiful woman and she was as beautiful on the inside. I am glad we waited.
Covered by more than 670 artists but this the the gold standard.. this masterpiece by the late great Bobby Hatfield says it all. I’m grateful to have been around back in the 60’s to hear it. I never get tired of hearing it.
My husband Rip.💖 Love, passed away February 8th, 2018 we were married 51years together 54years high school sweethearts since age of 15.😢, The Righteous Brothers music, was played at his memorial service. 😢.💔
Was the corvette in your profile pic his? It’s beautiful. The c3 corvette is my dream car and I hope to be driving one when I find my true love. Being 17 sucks because love feels so fragile and at my age and I’m always afraid of scaring off the one I love. This song gives me the hope and courage to take the risk.
@@draxthedestroyer1685 ,Yes this Corvette 74" stingray is the one in my profile picture, I keep it in storage, most likely it will go to our 1st Born, Granddaughter. Iam 70 years old, I tried to Drive it one time😕🚘 front end too long for me. So most likely she will inherit it, when I pass on. I have 15 grandkids and 7 great grandbabies ☺. She was our 1st. Grandchild, 1986. Born
@@draxthedestroyer1685 6/11/19 Stay positive, you will find the love of your life too, I did at age 15💚 I knew that he was the one, AND there will never be another. So hang in there, don't rush into any relationships, enjoy life, Godbless you.
I’m so sorry for your loss, but what beautiful 54 years those must’ve been ❤️bless you and your husband! I can only dream and hope to have what you guys had!
My soon to be husband sang this to me over the phone, he was in Florida, I was in Texas. He drove 1000 miles to marry me and take me back to Florida. That was 16 years ago, he passed away in April, 2019. This beautiful song breaks my heart, but brings back such beautiful memories. I love you my darling husband, you are gone too soon.
My husband of 32 years passed away in August of 2022, I miss him so very much, he used to play this song for me to let me know how much he loved and needed me, my heart is so broken, I wish he would just come home
This song is so emotional. I am young, married to the love of my life, have a beautiful family, contentment and great joy, and yet when I hear this song I feel sad. I can imagine being an old man looking back on life and just weeping because it’s in the past. If you’re reading this, grab those close to you and love them. Cherish every moment! This life is a vapor.
jfly888 I have not read many comments on RU-vid that were so well crafted with words full of wisdom and insight on what life can give and eventually takes away, wish you well my friend.
Young man, your Wife is a very lucky lady, for you are wise beyond your years. This song, along with several others sung by the Righteous Brothers, were among my Husband's and my very favorites. I lost him four years ago, but I can still close my eyes, hear this music, and be taken back to those times, when we were dancing in each others arms, once again.
Man, so many people commenting about losing the love of their life and coming here to listen for comfort. I am sorry for ya'lls lost. God bless you all.
@@keithandmariemanhard6481 It is not feasible at age 79 that I will EVER find another love after being married 50 years when my husband died ...The amount and depth of my pain at losing him remains unchanged...It is a pain that over shadows ALL...The key word is lived thru the heart break...Not possible..
The love of my life passed away unexpedectly and tragically last may. He wouldve been 21 in march. we used to share our favourite oldies, and tell each other which ones reminded us of the other. this song feels so bittersweet now. i will forever miss you, my pretty boy. and oh, my darling, how ive hungered for your touch.
Didn't actually pay attention to the lyrics at first its so touching... Hello Jessica It's my pleasure to meet an awesome and honourable person like you here, How are you doing today, hope you're safe over there
Hello friend, I was browsing through the comment sections and I came across your comment, I must confess that you are very beautiful and this is me being honest, I don’t know the best words to use in describing your incredible good looks, from the bottom of my heart i would love to be your very good friend, someone you can talk to get to know each other very well and better, can we communicate privately on WhatsApp, I am waiting to hear from you
FuzzleLand Sounds stupid and it is stupid, it is proven a too, put a lot on the radio, bang merciless people's ears and it will sell itself.... that is how its works. First they started to put on the radio "the ten top hits" because people liked that song or album and thus got to the top, but soon they realized that that was no needed, just put it again and again and say is the top ten this week and .... Bingo!! The price? the price music is gone... but who cares... We are making tons of money form those idiot sheeps Isn*t?
Obviously I came here from FF1970. But when I asked my Grandma if she knew this song, she proceeded to tell me that it was her and my grandpa's favorite song to dance to❤️
This whole comment section is just a rollercoaster of human emotions and humanity in general. There are still wholesome places on the internet. I hope all of you are getting by.
I agree. I hope you are all safe too. I hope that this pandemic brings us all closer and that people realise we all need each other. No man is ever an island. There's too much hatred, division, violence, poverty and war in the world. I hope we all come out the other end of this a better society/world with a better sense of community and communalism. There's so many people out there risking their lives for us all, not just the amazing health workers, but also the people that take our trash away, the postal workers, all those that stock shelves, make the food, distribute it, all those that help bring us electricity and water etc Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for all you do for us daily, silently and bravely. Whether you believe in politics, no matter what your political affiliation, let's come out of this better, stronger & more aware of how interlinked we all are. Time to put away the world's swords and maybe build some ploughs and demand more authenticity from our societies, our politicians and and I hope we remain humane after this towards our fellow human beings, no matter what their colour, 'race', religion. We all bleed. We should all stand together for a better world for ALL of us. It makes me weep every time I hear someone has died, each life is precious, NOT a statistic, and I want to honour all their memories by helping to create a better world for future generations. Wow, sorry for the polemic...just feel emotional these days. Please all stay safe, take care of yourselves and those around you and thank all those who are performing miracles of kindness daily. I'm not religious, but if angels exist, you are amongst us and so thank you for all you do. Love to all. 💛🧡💜 And for anyone who has dared to abuse our doctors, nurses, carers - you are a disgrace to your community and country and the world you live in.
There's a story it was originally a poem written by a man in prison to his wife. I don't care if the story is true or not it makes this song greater for me.
Movie that this song was sung by Todd Duncan in 1955 was "Unchained" He sung it with just an acoustic guitar accompliament, in his operatic voice, to other prisoners in the movie.
This song takes me back, being only 34 now I used to dance with my gf in the kitchen to this song and had an amazing life for 6 years until unfortunately she died in an accident and everytime I hear this song now, time stops just for a bit and I can feel her presence next to me from the other side. I miss her everyday
I am 70 years old and remember dancing to this song in my living room when I was 7-8 years old. Does anyone who when it was written? We saw the Righteous Brother in concert many years ago and it was breathtaking. My husband and I have been married 48 years and our song is "Soul and Inspiration: by them.
A song which has been covered by many fine artists, but never quite as well done by anyone else as The Righteous Brothers, imo. It just has that....something intangible... that strikes right thru you.
this is another tune that u can't imagine being sung by any other artist........ the feelings that are evoked are so powerful..... i equate this song with Roberta Flack's .. The First Time i Ever Saw Your Face. these songs will still be as powerful a hundred years from now....... .. ... every listen gets better with age.
This was my beautiful sister in laws/ best friends first wedding dance . Was also played at her funeral, she was only 24 when she passed. Just too good for this world ❤
I feel like crying, this world is too sad sometimes, I love this song infinitely and I too would like them to play it at my funeral, as well as at my wedding, because it's not a simple "song" but it's something that warms your soul and heart, is not inexplicable.❤️🩹🪽
I know how it feels to lose someone you love very much. I'm 15 and my mother died in January 26, 2014 and she was my everything. Maybe my mom and your wife could meet! But we all know they are in a better place. 💕👼
Sam Matos My best friend shot himself in his room before school on April 21, 2008. It was my senior year. I still miss him so much, but it does get better. You're not alone.
