Im 71. Heard this a time ago. I never thought of myself as getting older. Then one day you look in the mirror and wonder who that is. Then you survive cancer and then lookin perfect doesn't take up much of your time. Bosses in their 40s and 50s driven to get that next thing. Then tonight I happened to find this and am glad I stopped by. With the anger in this world just getting more widespread it's nice to let some air out of the balloon.
This is the song for my oldest daughter. She’s 33 last week and…she’s in the hospital.. dying. We’re not supposed to bury our children. I can’t say any more.
I said my mom's eulogy this past Wednesday. I had them play this arrangement when I was through. I told the people in attendance, I will always remember my mom's incredible spirit, zest for life and in my mind, forever young. She died peacefully at age 102 and a few months. Been a week, still tough, miss ya mom, but I am glad I had you all these years and the world is happy too. May God's Blessing keep you always.
Joan Baez has the voice of a nightingale. She discovered Bob and introduced him to Newport, she was the older woman star. She was in love with him, and she sings his songs so beautifully. This brings tears so gorgeous. I want to sing it to my precious little grandson Thais only 18 months old now.
May God bless and keep you always May your wishes all come true May you always do for others And let others do for you May you build a ladder to the stars And climb on every rung And may you stay Forever young May you grow up to be righteous May you grow up to be true May you always know the truth And see the light surrounding you May you always be courageous Stand upright and be strong And may you stay Forever young Forever young Forever young May you stay Forever young May your hands always be busy May your feet always be swift May you have a strong foundation When the winter changes shift May your heart always be joyful May your song always be sung And may you stay Forever young Forever young Forever young May you stay Forever young
This song is so beautiful.... I’m sure that is the reason why it makes you cry 😢 If it’s any consolation, I used to cry as a teenager in the 60’s.... I’m now 68 and STILL cry! The song touches my soul.... maybe yours too 🤔😢 Sending all good wishes to you and your family from The Peak District in the Heart of England 🏴🇬🇧
I really love this song and now as I am getting older, I love it even more. While I have been disabled for 33 years, I do my best to always live the lyrics for my family's sake! Everyday I am at choice to act like the pain ridden 60 year old that I am, or to stay forever young at heart for my precious grandchildren, children and most of all my beautiful, loving and kindhearted husband! I love you Rock! 40 years together now!❤
My loving Mom died 4 months ago. I am so grateful that you and the rest of the family got to go home and leave this crazy world! I feel so lost and lonely without you. I pray that I can continue to choose love over hate- like you ALWAYS did!!!💝😍
Oh man at 58 av destroyed my life lost everything. My 2 girl's i love them so much.....but the years are too long now. But my love for them will never die. 😔
My daughter Rhiannon became forever 36 in 2014, killed in a car crash up in Dampier WA. I used to play this for her when she was a little girl never thinking it would turn out the way it did. Cherish your children while you have them, they can be gone forever in the blink of an eye...arohanui from Aotearoa NZ.
I hope that you & your Family & others that Loved her. As Joan Baez is singing Keep up be Courageous, Stand up & be Strong, ( my little extra Add On) And Keep the Spirit Too Be Young, Also too Keep Your Dreams Alive. My Condolence for Your Lose. Larry, Vancouver, B.C., Canada
When I left Finland for work in a foreign country many years ago,I received from my friends a note book where in the first page was written this song of Joan Baez - it is so, so nice
I've heard many do this, from Dylan to Rodd Stewart amongt others. This version still brings tears and a chock in the throat to this old man of 68 years.
@@ThisTheBreaks Actually, the story is that Rod Stewart came up with his version completely independently, then realized he must have had the Dylan version in the back of his mind without realizing it, and started sending Dylan royalty checks without being asked to.
Besides being gifted with that incredible , unforgettable voice , young Joan Baez was the most beautiful woman on the planet ! An older JB is just as beautiful now .
i’m15, i come from a place where english is not spoken, but i was exposed to the work of people like bob dylan and joan baez. i’m fascinated by this music, and although i don’t understand it completely, it resonates with me. i like reading comments, it warms my soul. i hope we stay forever young❤️
Forever Young brings tears every time I hear Joan Baez sings this beautiful song!!!!! Joan has celebrated her 80th Birthday on January 9, 2021. May Joan stay --- Forever Young!
Did the angels come from heaven and give their voices to Joan Baez? Indeed they did. Beautiful tones and the clarity of her diction is not of this World
I play this song to my three daughters every time on their respective birthdays. I have done that since they were little and it has become part of our birthday tradition as much as silent night is of Christmas. And it always tears me up, because it so apt and so beautifully sung.
I send a recording of it every year to my granddaughters, too! I wish they were close enough for me to play it for them. And it makes me cry too. I hope by the time they really grow up they'll understand why I've sent it, and how deeply a parent or grandparent wishes these things for the children they love.
THE LADY TOUCHES A CORD IN THE MIND; BRINGS BACK MEMORIES OF THE 1960'S, MANY GREAT FOLK SONGS WERE WRITTEN IN THAT DECADE... BLESS THE WRITERS AND SINGERS
I sang this for my parents' 50th wedding anniversary and my colleagues sang this for me when i retired from work...ever since i heard this glorious song decades ago, to me it has symbolised a sublime and joyful ode to the unquenchable human spirit!! One of the greatest songs of Joan Baez.
I hope it's not something you're really planning now. But in any case, why not print it up and hand it out now while you still can have the pleasure of sharing it! I think it's a great great idea! I may borrow it and do it too! See, you've already started a trend! Thank you.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them.
No one knows why I wish pple "Forever Young" when we say our cheers.... This song is a blessing for any of us. To any living creature ❤️😍 I loved it since I heard this song the first time. I was 11 or 12. It stayed to my soul, this one .. 🎉 Forever Young, pple! 🏵️
Jenny Washa don't believe everything you hear. My mother would say Rumor Has It and rumor can keep it. She was not one to gossip if you know what I mean. Arnold Bourbon Amaral
My uncle - the most fun, kind hearted, intelligent and gentle soul I ever met- sent this song to me in a text. He has passed away, life will never be the same again but I'm so grateful I have a text thread from him full of random songs I guess he enjoyed back in his day 🎶🙏🎶 love you Abbit!!
Thanks to this wonderful digital age in which we live both Joannie and Bob ARE staying forever young.I wonder if either of them thought we'd be listening to this fabulous song fifty years later??
Turning 60 today but I still feel like I did when I went to see Joan Baez in Wash DC I was 15 But I grew up to be 18 forever may we all stay forever Young !!!!
The instrumental version of this song was played at the memorial service for my beautiful niece, who perished in a boating accident over 30 years ago. I bought a copy of Bob Dylan's original on the Planet Waves CD, and listen to it about once a year, "Parted from us, yet never parted."
Joan was a timeless singer with so sweet voice . really so unforgettable lady in all music history . she was the symbol of an epoque of struggles love and hopes of an entire generation ...
Smooth, silky and crispest voice imaginable. My song drummed into my kids in the days after 9/11, returning from Ground Zero searching. They were 6 and 4 then and saw "Daddy crying". Now, they instantly tear up with this and especially her Amazing Grace rendition.
At our last day of school, 40 years ago, our beloved teacher, Mrs de Bruin, played this song for us. She also gave us the words. I believe it was spoken into our lives. We're all still alive, and doing well. What a legendary song!!! Now I'm passing it on to my children..... my favorite song.
This song for me always conjured up for me images of Karen going off to college, and Wart leaving for the Army. Yeah, I grew up watching "The Wonder Years." Now, it means something different. I now am in my 40's, and my older son is in high school. I cannot believe it, but my baby is going to graduate in only two more years!! He got his first job this semester, and one Saturday morning, as I was driving him to work, I was playing this song. As I looked over at him, I was overwhelmed with emotion. It seems like yesterday I could balance him in the palm of my hand, and now he is on the verge of becoming a grown man. Where, oh where, does the time go?
I'm 77 soon. I remember Joan as a hippie from Palo Alto High. She was a few years older than I was (maybe 5 or 6?), and I was at Cubberley High across town. She had graduated but my older sister's boyfriend knew her and had played a little guitar with her once, or so he said at the time. She was already a great singer. Those were good times. She certainly did a lot more for our generation than most.
So much in this song relates to everything I wish for my beloved grandchildren Adam and Abigai. "May you stay forever young my darlings", Your grandad Jeff Barley
I remember sitting on the wall along Franklin Street at the University of North Carolina in 72 and thinking what a special place. The students would always be forever young. I had been so involved with the folk music of the 60s that I used to see the world through the lines of dozens of songs. This was one of my favorite.
Ultimo concerto di Joan Baez in Italia a Collegno. Una sera di luglio, il cielo era rosa e avevo la febbre. Quando ho sentito la sua voce il mio corpo sembra aver ritrovato le forze per vivere a pieno quelle ore, incise per sempre nella mia memoria. Non dimenticherò mai la sua voce che canta questa canzone mentre io e mio fratello Luca ci abbracciamo sotto al palco. Io con la testa sotto alla sua mentre lui mi stringe forte. Sorrido e dondoliamo insieme. Luca, mio Bobby Jean, noi saremo sempre Forever Young.
And Mark, my brother... we STILL have the music, and as long as it still touches our hearts this song can be for US,TOO!... keep marching, brother- NOW, MORE THAN EVER, & pls know I'm marching right there beside you!
Dear Joan Baez, you've announced that this is the final year you'll be touring and performing live concerts, and we, your fans, thank you......for all this beautiful music, for the commitment to bringing some peace and comfort to the suffering, and for sharing your gifts with all of us for all these years. May you stay forever young.
I'm 58 and a little bit more... I think 🤔 We already have learned these things when our own Father's and Mother's tought us how... Let's go ahead and do the same thing for the next generation of... Dreams ❤
such a beautiful song....reminds me of good days when the world seemed less cynical....as a 60s gal...would like to dedicate this song to my lovely daughter jenny who is now a mother herself...and to my wonderful granddaughter iris,,,,three years old..the words say it all......
This is a great rendition… but there is a coarse and tired sentimentality that only belongs to the male voice. This version sounds like a benediction, Dylan’s version sounds like dirge.
I love this song. I want it to be played at my funeral. It's meaning is so deep. I want it to encourage all my friends and family who come to say bye to me, knowing it's only temporary and that one day the circle will be unbroken and there will be no more tears just a glorious reunion in Heaven, forever with our loved ones and with our glorious God. May we all stay strong in the faith. May God bless us all
I have just used this song as the backing (and the sentiment) for a video of photos of my son, aged 30, for his lockdown birthday. He is in the UK, we are in France, and have not seen him in person for a year now - just watched the final version with my husband and we were both in tears.
If any have ever lived in Grand Rapids, Michigan,, there is nothing else like it,,, forever young!! Got to even with the wild cold weather,,, it warms my heart,,,

“BUT…But I do not want to be old”
For years I’ve been looking in the mirror wondering who the hell is that. Can’t say I’m particularly fond of the person who looks back.
This is the song for my oldest daughter. She’s 33 last week and…she’s in the hospital.. dying. We’re not supposed to bury our children. I can’t say any more.

I'm 65 now, but with this song I remain forever young in my heart.
As pure a voice as ever there was. Joan is a diamond without rust
Absolutely. Rog
When she hits the low notes, I get chills.
She is so lame.
Diamonds never rust because it's not an iron
@@thirdy_ty3496 It's not "it" but "they" and without "an". Also fullstop at the end.
Well said. I'm 77 Sunset Strip, and listening to Biaz, Dylan, Arlo all make it more comfortable.

You're not an old man, you're forever young! Like myself at 66! 😊
@@QuanahParker17 Join the club. I'm 72 tomorrow and saw Ms Baez do this live in SF Golden Gate Park.....those were halcyon dayz.

Did the angels come from heaven and give their voices to Joan Baez? Indeed they did. Beautiful tones and the clarity of her diction is not of this World
That s what I always feel to listening to her Songs. ...
Yes, crisp and clear and a rarity today when so many artists don't seem to know what it is they want to say.
There are no angels and there is no heaven. There is only Joan Baez.
Mentally you can, but physically you cannot. Sad, but true. 75 now. Just enjoy each day as it comes. That's life.
What a privilege it is to be in this world at the same time as Joan Baez.
no one is better than joan singing dylan songs.
Except maybe Bob himself. Such great music from a timeless era in the past. She does it beautifully.
Impossible not to like Joan Baez. Incredible lady with a beautiful light around her.

Joan Baez was always so dignified... always admired her style...pretty inside and out... voice of an angel...
Wow! She sings this Dylan song as if it was written only for her to sing, which is why I love her so much.

She’s absolutely pretty and this is one of my most listened song recently. How are you doing greetings from New Jersey.
So much in this song relates to everything I wish for my beloved grandchildren Adam and Abigai.
"May you stay forever young my darlings",

I remember sitting on the wall along Franklin Street at the University of North Carolina in 72 and thinking what a special place. The students would always be forever young. I had been so involved with the folk music of the 60s that I used to see the world through the lines of dozens of songs. This was one of my favorite.
Each time I hear Joan, I"m once again 20 years of age and see Joan walking down Alvarado Street in Monterey with her guitar strapped to her back.
Ultimo concerto di Joan Baez in Italia a Collegno. Una sera di luglio, il cielo era rosa e avevo la febbre. Quando ho sentito la sua voce il mio corpo sembra aver ritrovato le forze per vivere a pieno quelle ore, incise per sempre nella mia memoria. Non dimenticherò mai la sua voce che canta questa canzone mentre io e mio fratello Luca ci abbracciamo sotto al palco. Io con la testa sotto alla sua mentre lui mi stringe forte. Sorrido e dondoliamo insieme. Luca, mio Bobby Jean, noi saremo sempre Forever Young.
I've been listening to this album in our home growing up. My mom would be singing away. To this day my mom and I love this song and Joan of course!
In Jesus name ❤ 🙏

...kind of makes me want to go out and stop a War somewhere...
I, we all, marched to the powerful Music of the Sixties.
And Mark, my brother... we STILL have the music, and as long as it still touches our hearts this song can be for US,TOO!... keep marching, brother- NOW, MORE THAN EVER, & pls know I'm marching right there beside you!
redcaddiedaddie --- I tip my hat off to you. beautiful comment Cheers Larry, Vancouver, B.C., Canada
... so kind of you to say, my 'north of the border' brother...!
Thanks Bro.. May you stay Forever Young..
I never "out-grew" those days...
Dear Joan Baez, you've announced that this is the final year you'll be touring and performing live concerts, and we, your fans, thank you......for all this beautiful music, for the commitment to bringing some peace and comfort to the suffering, and for sharing your gifts with all of us for all these years. May you stay forever young.
And Joan….May we all, always sing this song to our children and grandchildren. Bless you for the songs of my youth.
where would we be without Dylan's words, the poet laureate of a generation and more importantly a movement
Brilliant is this of Joan Baez i do love her music for so many years and still yet,
Beautiful❤
She’s absolutely pretty and this is one of my most listened song recently. How are you doing greetings from New Jersey.
I'm 58 and a little bit more... I think 🤔
We already have learned these things when our own Father's and Mother's tought us how... Let's go ahead and do the same thing for the next generation of... Dreams ❤
I love Dylan but Joan's voice makes this song go straight to my heart...love this so much :)
such a beautiful song....reminds me of good days when the world seemed less cynical....as a 60s gal...would like to dedicate this song to my lovely daughter jenny who is now a mother herself...and to my wonderful granddaughter iris,,,,three years old..the words say it all......
This is a great rendition… but there is a coarse and tired sentimentality that only belongs to the male voice. This version sounds like a benediction, Dylan’s version sounds like dirge.
My song! LOVE Joan. #lockdown2020
May we never lose sight of the Truth ~
Pure music, I love the way this guitar sounds, the unmistakable voice of a queen.
Hello Jnaet
How are you doing today?
Pure poetry, pure beautiful voice. One of Dylan’s masterpieces.
Such talent. Instruments and pure passion. They don’t make music like this anymore
My only granddaughter has just turned 7 months and is such a joy.
I think of her every time i play this.
Makes me so happy
I love this song. I want it to be played at my funeral. It's meaning is so deep. I want it to encourage all my friends and family who come to say bye to me, knowing it's only temporary and that one day the circle will be unbroken and there will be no more tears just a glorious reunion in Heaven, forever with our loved ones and with our glorious God. May we all stay strong in the faith. May God bless us all
What an astounding message xx
Agree.
Amen
Superb,o muzica din alta galaxie❤😂❤❤
It could have sincere, or it could have been throwaway. But when you sent this to me, it was first real present anyone ever gave me. Thank you.
People like Joan BAEZ will NEVER die!!!!!
Makes me think about watching the wonder years when I was young
Glorious, beautiful, voice (and person)...she's right up there with Barbra...❤
Joan and Bob are the two greatest of all time.......music is top shelf.
Love this song.... for my grandchildren and my daughter who I miss everyday!!!!
I have just used this song as the backing (and the sentiment) for a video of photos of my son, aged 30, for his lockdown birthday. He is in the UK, we are in France, and have not seen him in person for a year now - just watched the final version with my husband and we were both in tears.
Hello Sandra, How are you doing?
I love you, Joan Baez and have since 1965. Peace and love.
If any have ever lived in Grand Rapids, Michigan,, there is nothing else like it,,, forever young!! Got to even with the wild cold weather,,, it warms my heart,,,
