In my 4th grade, I'd a really awesome lady as my english teacher. I remember the day when she made us sing this song after writing the lyrics on the board. It was a free class, we sang it along her. We all were so cheery and innocent back then...only to not know that she'd leave the school the next year. I haven't known about her ever since then. No contacts, nothing. Don't know if she'll EVER see this comment, but if by any chance she does I want to say her, that thank you so much ma'am for making my 3rd and 4th grade years so memorable. Now that I finally found this song, all your remembrances are rushing back to my mind. Lots of love from one of your 4th graders from FBS, Muskan❤️️
Same happened but this time she was my school principal ....I remember she took us to the lab toh show this song to us and now when I have done my 12....I remember those days even though my principal was not a humble lady but still....
I left my family, friends and my hometown and came to this new country when I was 15, I didn't speak the language then and struggled to make friends, find jobs and to survive in this foreign society. Whenever I'm feeling lost, the song can always take me back to my home and the simple and happy life I used to have. I still remember the day I left. The train slowly accelerating and my hometown station soon became miles away. Now here I am in this country, still trying so hard to achieve my dreams. This song is my nostalgic song, my stay strong song, and also a song to remind me of where i came from. It literally means the whole world to me
I can understand what you are going through ... I lost my friend and a cousin due to covid ... They were gone at the most unexpected time ... Who will answer why??
I’m 72 ant thought I learnt a lot from all my time I’ve been on this planet. Yet today I heard this song for the first time. The emotional joy was overwhelming. The memories came back for the first time in a long time. The words are few but they mean the world. Thank you for your gift
Why not just loop it...and you will...but remember the blow you hear is the sog of the train that God has sent for you to hear and hop on...lots of love for you brother or sister that reads this - it is for you that I have been hearing the songs
Even when we have a physical home and are comfortable and among our loved ones the longing for that intangible " home" stays somewhere in our being. My humble guess is that this is to a degree part of the human condition.
For all those who listen to this song and emotionally attached to it. This song passes on all your emotions, nostalgic memories and heart-warming feelings to me. I don't know anyone of you but still cry to read through your messages I feel like I inhale all the pains ; losing parents, dear ones and the best moments of life.
I only heard this song recently from a movie and it immediately resonated with me for my late Mum & Dad. Through time, space and all eternity my love and gratitude is with them, and this song made me feel connected to them and relive beautiful memories
@@rajatadak86 Ich hab jetzt keine Lust auf Englisch zu antworten, vielleicht gibts hier auch Deutsche. Ich liebe dieses Lied auch...obwohl es so alt ist....es erinnert mich auch an "Omas Zeiten", obwohl es eher die meiner Eltern sind. Es ist so schön traurig und wenn ich heulen möchte, ist das hier gerade richtig! Es kommen die Tränen automatisch! Sind hier deutschsprechende Mitbürger, die das Lied als ebenso empfinden, obwohl sie noch nicht so alt sind? Und ja, ich kann mir vorstellen, daß es im Lockdown wieder ganz aktuell geworden ist, gerade in diesem Jahr.
I used to listen to this song with my daddy when I was a little girl on a record. I never knew there was this version. It’s such a beautiful & melancholy song. I’ll never forget it.
Wow! "If you miss the train I'm on, then you know that I have gone...", this was my oldest brothers favourite song which he and I sang often together growing up in the 60's-70's...unfortunately I missed that train he was on, and now, he has gone...on May 25, 2015...RIP my Brother. Thank you for uploading this...😢
It's really good to see people listening and sharing their memories with this song Those who have never listened to this one and are just listening to this masterpiece can't feel the same way that we do it's totally different feeling trust me For me:- this reminds me of my childhood (which I believe was one of the best there is) especially the school days where we all sang this song in our morning assembly It's been like a decade since I last sang this song And the fact that I didn't even knew at that time this was a song 😅 As far as I can remember it was added by a teacher I don't know but I suddenly remembered that there was such a song during our school days It was kinda like a hundreds miles a hundred miles... 🎶 Then I finally decided to look it up and after quite a while I got it! That's it, Thanks for reading 🌟
This song reminds me of my Father in the 80's, he used to play this song in our cassette player when I was 6 or 8 years old. God is so gracious when I ask our LORD if the end times is already at hand? Then this song just suddenly popped out in my mind today(10/23/18)after 40 years? Now I fully understand the meaning of the lyrics it talks about the coming "Rapture" when all of us believer of Christ will meet Him in the clouds.
My music teacher told me this song when I was in class 3( 7 years old) and now im in class 9 (14 years old) my mom said to sing this song but I have forgotten this lyrics but I searched this pn google and sang this is very soothing music also.
No, this song was written for you...your memories are still there go deeper into the rabbit's hole and you will see that I am here today for you, not your relatives...so when the train comes and know the song is asking you to be alert as it coming...lots of love for you and don't worry I know and hear your heart so although you will not hear from me again this song will always be with you I am here and there as well as everywhere,,,
Fantastic! I heard the song for the first time by the Journeymen in 1963. I learned it and have been singing it ever since. I never get tired of this beautiful song. Note: JOHN PHILLIPS headed the Journeymen and later did the Mamas & the Papas,
Banjo Sam why couple of years ??? U just search on TH-cam 5 hundred miles .... Or a couple of years ago u were uneducated or a kid u couldn't search well instead u r searching on roads that why you couldn't find it and finnally today u come in a stage that u can search and pronounce properly that's why you find it fool
I remember the time when i was 10 and in my school my music teacher used to make us sing this song and i never got tired of listening and singing this song. Brings back so many memories
12 years ago, my nusery teacher made us write it in our copy and sing this. Still remembered the rhythm and some of lyrics. Checked it out today. Beautiful. I thought I remembered the wrong rhythm, but I didn't, I remembered the exact tone and rhythm. I dont even feel nostalgic, since this is a song I frequently remember.
Why 1960s, 70s, 80s songs are always re-sing? I think because those era songs & music are the best. My 8 years old son play his keyboard & I play guitar to this song every weekends at home. We enjoy those era songs such as Stand by me, Sukiyaki, Al condorpasa, Love is blue, etc. Thank you for up load to this new version 500 miles.
The 60s, 70s and 80s were about the song, the music. Not always about profit, not about 'target audiences'. Songs made it because they were good, not because people were brainwashed into buying' it' because the radio played nothing but 'it' or as now, the net pugs' it' constantly. I have never liked Timberlake... but this is actually quite good and he has learned to act pretty good as well. A grumpy oldie even grumpier now!!
I remember when I in class 6 (2014) our English teacher taught us this song. I can't explain the pure nostalgia that hits when I listen to this song.♥️
In my childhood days me and my best friend listen to this blessed song we sang it together . I am really missing those days . This is not only a song but an emotion and Masterpiece :')
@@ohcomeonsmile9762 The best feeling is when you are sitting in the car while traveling on a peaceful road with headphones on and listening to this song....(:
This song is dedicated to all the people who are staying far away from their home and can't able to come home because of Corona virus Miss my home 😢 Stay home and stay safe
Peter Paul and Mary did the original 60's version for that really hit home for soldiers in the war in Vietnam. For your own musical education, listen to their "500 Miles"
When ever I listen to this song I remember my beloved father, he sang this song when he tooked me to zoological garden along with my sister and my brother , it maybe 30 years since then . I cried that day cause 🐘🐼zoo was closed and my father sang this song for me to stop crying. On the other hand I remember a lots my beloved darling who live in Burma ( Myanmar) . We have been separated by nine rolling mountains. Here I miss those happy time we were together , we cried in small things. Those were the day's........ Missing u 💓
It's always reminded me of my grandpa. He was a brakeman for the Southern Pacific Railroad, and the train passed by their house. He died when I was 5, and I knew he was more than 500 miles away. My grandparents had petitioned Washington, for train whistles to blow at intersections after my uncle was killed by a derailed train, that had struck a truck at an intersection. This song has held a place in my heart, from the first time I heard it.
My dad’s grandfather. My great grandpa was a S.P. engineer. I never knew him but that’s what he did after leaving the US Navy after World War 2. Joined the railroad in 1947 and retired in the 1980s
This is actually one of the songs that our singing teacher taught us in school, when i was in grade 1 and we sang it till grade 5, :) and at those moments I didn't like this song, for I feared leaving my parents even for the sake of a song! And today, I am nostalgic about this school rhyme. I am really missing those beautiful days. Anyways thank you for uploading!
Jab koi baat bigad jaae... Jab koi mushkil parr jaae Tum rehna saath mere O humnava...... O humnava.... The Indian version of the song. Dunno which came first this one or the above, but both are awesome.
My grandpa really likes this song... he used to sing it to me while playing the guitar when I was younger and one day when I’m much older I’m gonna come back to this song crying remembering him. Love you grandpa
I've been searching this song for 6 years long, I heard this song from my english teacher in elementary school. Finaly I know the title of this music, thanks god T-T
I'm born in Taiwan but my dad is from China and my mom is from Taiwan now i read in Washington elementary school in Taichung .Im 9 years old i listen to this song more then 1 year
After listening to many versions, my son said that this version is his favorite, and he listened to it once every day before going to bed. Thank you for your support
If I have found you so can God so do not worry you have always been with Him even at those days you have questioned He was there as He is today so remember this song when you have some doubts about who you are because one thing is for sure independent of what you think He knows who you are so it...Lots of love for you and blessing from a Lord that loves you eternally...
In our school a teacher who is loved by all of the teachers and students sang this song when we were in primary school but she came back to visit all of us after 6 years and sang it again.MISS HER 💞
I just searched for this song outta nowhere and here i am listening the song after 16 long years which i had sung in school's annual day. Felt really nostalgic and relaxed.
My father would play guitar and sing this with my sister and i when we were very small. When my father was dying my sister and i sung this to him. Now my sister just died on Sunday and i sung this to her as they tried to revive her, and i pray she heard me. I never knew Justin did this, and im not a fan, but i am thankful to him for doing this, and i really like this version. A friend will sing this at her memorial next week. I cant bear the pain. I love you my sister.
A friend of mine from my other school passed away in 2018 and with this song i remember him. He's 500 miles away from me. I hope that one day we will see each other again. 😭 💔
I like your songs even jf im 13 years how greatful voice my grandma love this music so thank you for posting this song😊😊😊 love to listen your voice how nice!!!
So sad, I loved the hindi version of it for so long, and I knew this 500 miles song since long but it just didn't occur to me that bollywood has copied it! :(
@@ts8979 sometimes intellects exchange culture over nations.. it might not be copied.. we dont know for sure... like the Movie Keamat se Keamat, Bangladesh had a movie with same name Keamat Theke Keamat. but the Bangladeshi production had permission to copy the movie seen by seen from Indian production.
I am sooo lucky that I hear this song every day on my school this song is my school prayer in covid I miss a lot my school and this song and after listening this song I feel I am between of my friends and techers and a beautiful prayer sight I saw on my eyes really amazing song!!
Jab koi baat bigad jaaye jab koi mushkil pad jaaye Tum dena saath mera o humnawaa Na koi hai na koi tha zindagi mein tumhaare siva Tum dena saath mera o humnawaa ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@fcklife540 actually it's a hindi(Bollywood) song inspired by this song The English translation is here 👇 Whenever something goes wrong Whenever there is a problem Stand by me (at that time), my beloved Neither there is, nor was Anyone other than you in my life Stand by me, my beloved
i'm hearing this song in 2020..i can feel it every word & sometimes it's made me imotional.now i stay at home.. i'm damn sure that when i'll go to dhaka & will sing it,i can't hold my eyes.
@@lon90x "500 Miles" (also known as "500 Miles Away from Home" or " Railroaders' Lament") is a song made popular in the United States and Europe during the 1960s folk revival. The simple repetitive lyrics ... Released: September 1963 Genre: Country; Easy Listening Songwriter(s): Hedy West Producer(s): Chet Atkins
I used to go to learn guitar during my age 8 to 15 and my teacher taught me this song. I don't know why i get emotional every time I listen to it. I get really nostalgic thinking of those care-free days. Now its quiet hard to find time to play guitar. And i don't even know why everyone gets so emotional listening it. Its just a Miracle ..!! Old days flashing in my eyes as the tears drop down ..!! Wanna grow up again if possible and get all the love again ..!!
Some facts about this song: The original was by a female folk singer named Hedy West who was born and raised in Georgia. The original song was released in 1961 during a revival boom of Folk genre, and the song had a few titles, which were "500 Miles Away From Home" and "Railroaders' Lament". The song borrowed a lot of the South's fiddle styles and was actually more quick-paced to follow the classic Folk genre and style. The original song also has a few lyrics that were cut off: "If my honey said so I'd railroad no more I'd sidetrack my engine and go home! And go home And go home And go home And go home I'd sidetrack my engine and go home!" "I told my little letter Just as plain as I could tell her She'd better come along and go with me! Go with me Go with me Go with me Go with me She'd better come along and go with me!" "My clothes are all worn My shoes are all torn Lord, I can't make a living this a-way! This-a way This-a way This-a way This-a way Lord, I can't make a living this a-way!" "If this train runs me right I'll be back tomorrow night I'm coming down the line on number nine! Number nine Number nine Number nine Number nine For I'm coming down the line on number nine!" The style Justin Timberlake decided to do a rendition of was Joan Baez's, a British acoustic and folk artist, which was recorded in the 70's if I'm not mistaken.
Bennie Khou Joan Baez is very much American and was born on Staten Island, New York. Her mother, who was also named Joan, was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, and her father was born in Mexico, though he moved to NY when he was two. She was part of the folk music scene in the '60s and was once romantically involved with Bob Dylan.
+Shree Nandan Das let me correct you on a small point. The Brothers Four were just one of many artists that recorded a version of this song. The writer, as explained by others, is Hedy West, taken from some of the old railroad songs from the 1800s. Look up Hedy West on Wikipedia for more info.
If you missed the train I'm on You will know that I am gone You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles A hundred miles, a hundred miles, A hundred miles, a hundred miles You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles Lord, I'm one, Lord, I'm two, Lord, I'm three, Lord, I'm four Lord, I'm five hundred miles away from home Away from home, away from home, Away from home, away from home Lord, I'm five hundred miles away from home Not a shirt on my back Not a penny to my name Lord, I can't go back home this ole way This ole way, this ole way, This ole way, this ole way, Lord, I can't go back home this this ole way If you missed the train I'm on You will know that I am gone You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles A hundred miles, a hundred miles, A hundred miles, a hundred miles, You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles You can hear the whistle blow a hundred mile

It's true
I am only 12 years old. But after listening to this song, I don't know why I have a feeling of "those were the days" the song is magic. Thank you
@roger binni music is a part of study.
@roger binni that is mean bro 😂😂
Peter Paul and Mary did the original 60's version for that really hit home for soldiers in the war in Vietnam. For your own musical education, listen to their "500 Miles"

Same bro
Same bro
I studied in DAV Public School, Chd
In that school I used to sing this song
But now I am in Lucknow
Same,I thought I was the only one here
When ever I listen to this song I remember my beloved father, he sang this song when he tooked me to zoological garden along with my sister and my brother , it maybe 30 years since then . I cried that day cause 🐘🐼zoo was closed and my father sang this song for me to stop crying. On the other hand I remember a lots my beloved darling who live in Burma ( Myanmar) . We have been separated by nine rolling mountains. Here I miss those happy time we were together , we cried in small things. Those were the day's........ Missing u 💓
So sad
I am an older gentleman who has heard lots of versions of this and... this is the best imo.
Anyone listening to this song in 2023 or 2024 ?

It's always reminded me of my grandpa. He was a brakeman for the Southern Pacific Railroad, and the train passed by their house. He died when I was 5, and I knew he was more than 500 miles away. My grandparents had petitioned Washington, for train whistles to blow at intersections after my uncle was killed by a derailed train, that had struck a truck at an intersection. This song has held a place in my heart, from the first time I heard it.
My dad’s grandfather. My great grandpa was a S.P. engineer. I never knew him but that’s what he did after leaving the US Navy after World War 2. Joined the railroad in 1947 and retired in the 1980s
This is actually one of the songs that our singing teacher taught us in school, when i was in grade 1 and we sang it till grade 5,
:) and at those moments I didn't like this song, for I feared leaving my parents even for the sake of a song!
And today, I am nostalgic about this school rhyme. I am really missing those beautiful days.
Anyways thank you for uploading!
Hey same! Our teacher also used to teach us this song
@@komalpreetkaur5012 great to hear that :)

Dunno which came first this one or the above, but both are awesome.
My grandpa really likes this song... he used to sing it to me while playing the guitar when I was younger and one day when I’m much older I’m gonna come back to this song crying remembering him. Love you grandpa

If I have found you so can God so do not worry you have always been with Him even at those days you have questioned He was there as He is today so remember this song when you have some doubts about who you are because one thing is for sure independent of what you think He knows who you are so it...Lots of love for you and blessing from a Lord that loves you eternally...

In our school a teacher who is loved by all of the teachers and students sang this song when we were in primary school but she came back to visit all of us after 6 years and sang it again.MISS HER 💞
I just searched for this song outta nowhere and here i am listening the song after 16 long years which i had sung in school's annual day. Felt really nostalgic and relaxed.
这首歌让我感动想哭💦太优美了，百听不厌💕
是的，总能回想起来以前的点点滴滴
DUI
Why the melody can make me feel so good？I can't stop my tears.
My father would play guitar and sing this with my sister and i when we were very small. When my father was dying my sister and i sung this to him. Now my sister just died on Sunday and i sung this to her as they tried to revive her, and i pray she heard me. I never knew Justin did this, and im not a fan, but i am thankful to him for doing this, and i really like this version. A friend will sing this at her memorial next week. I cant bear the pain. I love you my sister.
May your sister rest in peace❤
Almost a million ☺️

I see a whole life in the lyrics to be honest. Life bruised but life wants to get a healing. That's why I listen on this lyrics.
A friend of mine from my other school passed away in 2018 and with this song i remember him. He's 500 miles away from me. I hope that one day we will see each other again. 😭 💔

I first heard this song at 4H camp before i went to High School. Now it sticks with me forever
Jab koi baat bigad jaye
Jab koi mushkil pad jaye..
Same tune but lyrically changed.
1962 was copied in 1990....
Well 500 miles was a song from 1962 and that song ur talking about was from 1990s so basically Bollywood copied
So sad, I loved the hindi version of it for so long, and I knew this 500 miles song since long but it just didn't occur to me that bollywood has copied it! :(
@@ts8979 sometimes intellects exchange culture over nations.. it might not be copied.. we dont know for sure... like the Movie Keamat se Keamat, Bangladesh had a movie with same name Keamat Theke Keamat. but the Bangladeshi production had permission to copy the movie seen by seen from Indian production.
🙂it is
This shows the versatility and artistry of Justin Timberlake that he's willing to step outside of his genre and comfort zone to cover this classic.
I am sooo lucky that I hear this song every day on my school this song is my school prayer in covid I miss a lot my school and this song and after listening this song I feel I am between of my friends and techers and a beautiful prayer sight I saw on my eyes really amazing song!!

Beautiful song...❤️
I'm here after reading it's lyrics in a webcomic,it really fits in that scene 😞
I used to go to learn guitar during my age 8 to 15 and my teacher taught me this song. I don't know why i get emotional every time I listen to it. I get really nostalgic thinking of those care-free days. Now its quiet hard to find time to play guitar. And i don't even know why everyone gets so emotional listening it. Its just a Miracle ..!! Old days flashing in my eyes as the tears drop down ..!! Wanna grow up again if possible and get all the love again ..!!
2019 the best song of the year
This is a beautiful rendition, and true to Hedy West's original, which is another amazingly moving version :-)
Anyone feeling emotional listening to this song in 2020?
Cám ơn các bạn đã cho mình nghe lại bài nầy,bài ca nầy mà mình rất thích,nghe hoài mà không chán,love.....
We sang the song in music lessons at school. Really nice song❤️

Some facts about this song:
The original was by a female folk singer named Hedy West who was born and raised in Georgia. The original song was released in 1961 during a revival boom of Folk genre, and the song had a few titles, which were "500 Miles Away From Home" and "Railroaders' Lament". The song borrowed a lot of the South's fiddle styles and was actually more quick-paced to follow the classic Folk genre and style. The original song also has a few lyrics that were cut off:
"If my honey said so
I'd railroad no more
I'd sidetrack my engine and go home!
And go home
And go home
And go home
And go home
I'd sidetrack my engine and go home!"
"I told my little letter
Just as plain as I could tell her
She'd better come along and go with me!
Go with me
Go with me
Go with me
Go with me
She'd better come along and go with me!"
"My clothes are all worn
My shoes are all torn
Lord, I can't make a living this a-way!
This-a way
This-a way
This-a way
This-a way
Lord, I can't make a living this a-way!"
"If this train runs me right
I'll be back tomorrow night
I'm coming down the line on number nine!
Number nine
Number nine
Number nine
Number nine
For I'm coming down the line on number nine!"
The style Justin Timberlake decided to do a rendition of was Joan Baez's, a British acoustic and folk artist, which was recorded in the 70's if I'm not mistaken.
Bennie Khou Joan Baez is very much American and was born on Staten Island, New York. Her mother, who was also named Joan, was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, and her father was born in Mexico, though he moved to NY when he was two.
She was part of the folk music scene in the '60s and was once romantically involved with Bob Dylan.
+Shree Nandan Das let me correct you on a small point. The Brothers Four were just one of many artists that recorded a version of this song. The writer, as explained by others, is Hedy West, taken from some of the old railroad songs from the 1800s. Look up Hedy West on Wikipedia for more info.
woah fucking nerd alert
Justis Squires It's called being a history buff but I guess being uneducated is the norm.
Haha yall gay
I sang this song together with my friends when we were at school.
I really miss my childhood memories.
😢😭
When I here’d this song I blew up with happiness❤
If you missed the train I'm on
You will know that I am gone
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
A hundred miles, a hundred miles,
A hundred miles, a hundred miles
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
Lord, I'm one, Lord, I'm two,
Lord, I'm three, Lord, I'm four
Lord, I'm five hundred miles away from home
Away from home, away from home,
Away from home, away from home
Lord, I'm five hundred miles away from home
Not a shirt on my back
Not a penny to my name
Lord, I can't go back home this ole way
This ole way, this ole way,
This ole way, this ole way,
Lord, I can't go back home this this ole way
If you missed the train I'm on
You will know that I am gone
