Always went out dressed smart suit and tie white shirt Windsor knot in the tie polished shoes had a good drink listened to the best music in decades I sit and sing all the sixties songs and think about those times with a tear in my eye we had the best none of this woke nonsense
Yes, how true. Those magic years when the 50's singers gave way to the groups. I still love the Perry Como ballads, but suddenly it was the Beatles, Stones, RSG, TOTP, the pirate radio stations, Radio Luxemburg on the tranny. Completely out of touch with teenage stuff now, but even last night, still watching Tina Turner and all these wonderful videos.
The soundtrack of my life, I’m 76 now, those were definitely the best years, the best music, no woke idiots, you could leave your door open, there was a thing called respect, not very common these days, unfortunately.
I'm 79 years young. Born in Netherlands. But living in Thailand. Every day I listen to my old TH-cam music. Music from the sixties and seventies. The best there's
1964 I was born,...😢..why does this song make me cry? This beautiful song reminds me of times long gone never to come back....😩 Greetings and much love from Germany.
Songs like this just send me straight back to my childhood. A simpler time. Harder and much poorer, but somehow more enjoyable and freer and the music of that time seems to capture that.
Have you heard that craps comming out of todays' radios???? What is it, too much drug, socialism; low IQs or what the heck is it that making those mad sounds what they call music....
You are so right, small things meant so much, now greed and money has taken over, but listening to this song captivates the good old past, because no matter how poor we were they were good times, and music and certain perfumes bring those memories back flooding the old tired heartstrings 🙏🙏♥️
Still sends shivers down my spine. It’s for everyone that remembers that first heart throb. I do recall it 65 years on and even his name. Love it, memories can’t be taken away and music brings it back so vividly. ❤❤❤
Don’t feel sorry for them just because you don’t like their music. They like it and they don’t like ours from the 60’s so it’s just a matter of liking what you grew up to

Yes. I went to a concert a few weeks ago. I was upset. Friends of 16 years had betrayed (we heard a recorded conversation (rant, diatribe) on their phone, which had accidentally dialled ours and kept on recording.). I actually went to the concert still physically sick from the betrayal and impending loss and thought, no, this makes no difference. I will just sit here as I have paid for the ticket. But, the concert sucked me in. It was The Searchers but also P J Proby, Wayne Fontana, Gary Puckett (without the Union Gap), and 3 of the Tremeloes guys. Yes, I had to accept we are now old along with these guys. Wayne Fontana's first joke was "Let's make you guys feel really old. Gary Puckett's "Young Girl" has just celebrated her 85th birthday. OK, desired effect. But it cheered me up. Young again? probably not.
Haven't heard this for decades, but as soon as the music started the lyrics just came into my mind. Music just lives deep inside of us. Wonderful years, wonderful sounds !
The searchers were a great band but not all the bands of today are crap! Go on check out Curse of Lono, Samantha Fish, Tom Kilner. And there are many more besides them.
Music is so evocative------I listen to this and I am transported back to my teenage school days----first girlfriends-----teenage love-----set to a great musical soundtrack. I'm 72 now and approaching probably my last decade, or so, but I wouldnt swap being a boomer for anything. Those were the days my friend we thought they would never end.......!!
I often come back here to listen to this song. I met the love of my life in 1999 when these guys played in a small club, after they finished around midnight and I was finishing my drink ready to leave and a girl (young lady) walked in to the club, I stop and stared, she smiled. It took me an hour to pluck up the courage to say hello. It was instant, she was the one and the next twenty years were the best of my life. We both like The Searchers and saw them again this time as a couple soon after getting together. 20 years of bliss followed. In 2019, we played this at her funeral as the coffin disappeared behind the curtains, I lost her to cancer, she was only 41. Sitting back of an evening, I am in my happy place listening to this now.
This is one of the groups during my radio career I wish I would have seen in concert. One of the few groups who lasted 6 decades. No matter who they replaced, they still had that great sound. Thank you Searchers for some great flashback memories!
I saw them in the War Memorial Park in Basingstoke back in the early '80s, they were the headline band at 'Pop In The Park' in whatever year it was, which was always the last event of the old Basingstoke Carnival week which was discontinued by the Town Council in the mid-'90s. :(
A sad day day when they retired for our generation, understandable but a very sad loss for proper music lovers of real 60's bands. Miss you lads and hope you have a good retirement, just hoping for a comeback one off tour
only 14 years before this all happened.Liverpool was a bombed out city i n World war 2 taking huge hits night after night by the Luftwaffe. the people were having to listen to Vera Lyn singing about wishing wells in country villages while our docks were ablaze night after night. then as the dust settled the youth of Liverpool took it in their own hands to liven things up and bring happiness. it was truly remarkable how the bombed city went on to lead the world forward in modern music. like it or hate it...you cannot ignore the Mersey sound and what it did not only for merseyside or the country..but indeed the world. thanks guys!
This is my favorite song of the Searchers. It's great they are still performing. I do get a kick out of Love Portion Number 9. Thank you for sharing this live performance.
Hello my friends! I'm 77 , but we are in the midst of "youth", Because American poet Samuel Ullman said " Youth is not time of life, It's a state of mind" So let's all go well ! From Japan
Me too best of times, so glad l was there too. Wouldn’t swap my age for the world . There’s been nothing like it since another universe another world . ♥️💫🎉
we were 14/15 saw them in GLASGOW.brilliant,the originals.With Ike and Tina Turner, the BEATLES.it was never seen before.1965{??}we are now still together.(both 75 yrs,(im 2 Mths. her toyboy.).some say what.i say it was them learning about life tooo.sorry to bore u all.
I saw the searchers live in 1963 at the winter gardens Blackpool they are like a good wine they have got better with age. Ironic the original version of this song was sung by an american songstress name of Jackie De Shannon Ive still got it nearly 60 years later. I wonder what ever happened to her?? Great music never ages unlike human beings.
She's still around and working in the industry. She sure wrote some great tunes! I saw the Searchers with the Dave Clark Five in Portland, Oregon. I think it was 1962.
Every time I hear this song the hair stands up on the back of my neck I automatically drift back to the sixty's, hanging around the fairground just loving the great sounds as a 15yr old kid, the hollies .the Who, Small Faces. You just can't buy that history that some of us were so fortunate to be a part of.
Forgive me grew up in 60,s was 14 in 1964 Ok Beatles ok Elvis no no Cliff no no Now 2021 I now 70 realised my favourite group from mid 60,s THE SEARCHER from Needles and Pins to my absolute favourite ( Jackie de Shannon song )WHEN YOU WALK IN THE ROOM absolute perfection Thanks guys !!!!!!
This is my parents song!! It was playing when my dad was introduced to my mother in 1964, they were married in 1965. It is now 2021 and 56 years and 4 children later they are still going strong they hear this song and their world stops.
Exceptionally well written and cleverly devised piece of popular music. We have Jackie Deshannon to thank for writing this observation of the thrills and traumas of infatuation. I particularly like the way the hook creeps up on you after several fairly innocent sounding bars of melody and then BANG, - the logic of the song is suddenly revealed in all its pyrotechnic glory!
God I miss the 60s it hurts xxx
join the rest of us.......there was so much to enjoy and look forward to.......and the music
Me to ❤🕺💥😄
Thanks the Merseyside sounds , great time to be alive 😅😅😅
Ian 83 but I would give anything for a trip back to the 60s and 70s the greatest music ever
I'm eightie two and love to go back them brilliant days ,
Let go back there @@joanwalker3855
Songs like this never. Get old

They still sound as good as before. Love this song. I feel like this music keeps us all young always. Thanks gentlemen.
Another child of the sixties here and damn glad That I grew up listening to some of the best bands and songs ever recorded ..
I was a 60s teenager, it was the best era for music. Love this song.
Best years
Loved the searchers!!
Yes, how true.
Those magic years when the 50's singers gave way to the groups.
I still love the Perry Como ballads, but suddenly it was the Beatles, Stones, RSG, TOTP, the pirate radio stations, Radio Luxemburg on the tranny.
Completely out of touch with teenage stuff now, but even last night, still watching Tina Turner and all these wonderful videos.
@@sheilabatey492 Me too, if you include 13 years as a teenager, then I am a 50's teenager. Great times, great music. UK,
I am old now, and in ill health! But I am a child of the sixties... and by God! I am glad that I was there!
+john price - me too.

So glad I grew up in the 60's....best music...ever😊
The soundtrack of my life, I’m 76 now, those were definitely the best years, the best music, no woke idiots, you could leave your door open, there was a thing called respect, not very common these days, unfortunately.
Dave, I'm 74. We had quite a ride didn't we?
I'm 72 and know where you're coming from.
Yes, know exactly what you mean, I am 71 and would give anything to turn back the hands of time to that era.
The 60's was a magic time to live. Respect was big then.
Exactly
I'm 79 years young. Born in Netherlands. But living in Thailand. Every day I listen to my old TH-cam music. Music from the sixties and seventies. The best there's
I was born in 1957 and still love this song at age 66
I was born in 1971 and I love these, especially Frank-and he's a year older than my dad x.
Yes ...hard to beat the old songs....I am 80yrs old & could listen to these songs forever... cheers 🦘🦘😃
I am 77 and hope I can. That WOULD be heaven.😢
The Searchers have proved it - we don't get old, we just get better!
Just like fine wine...
Sixties for ever and ever amen
Fantastic song and group👍
So true
Now there was a proper boy band
1964 I was born,...😢..why does this song make me cry? This beautiful song reminds me of times long gone never to come back....😩
Greetings and much love from Germany.
Love this song. Reminds me of the special people who came in a room all gone now but in our ❤
Born in 1941 till er Wat great time is gary cowell in thi band.s
Searchers I love you all music fantastic I still love to hear your music all the from Ireland. Kath🤢
Songs like this just send me straight back to my childhood.
A simpler time. Harder and much poorer, but somehow more enjoyable and freer and the music of that time seems to capture that.
Have you heard that craps comming out of todays' radios???? What is it, too much drug, socialism; low IQs or what the heck is it that making those mad sounds what they call music....
Mark you have "Nailed it". Poorer, freer & happier by a mile.
You are so right, small things meant so much, now greed and money has taken over, but listening to this song captivates the good old past, because no matter how poor we were they were good times, and music and certain perfumes bring those memories back flooding the old tired heartstrings 🙏🙏♥️
Learned the difference between the things we needed and the things we wanted
Such a beautiful song! Love the Searchers' version and it's so nice to see them still performing!
Still sends shivers down my spine. It’s for everyone that remembers that first heart throb. I do recall it 65 years on and even his name. Love it, memories can’t be taken away and music brings it back so vividly. ❤❤❤
Young love? a beautiful thing, thanks for sharing, x
My God....as a 60's Boomer....I am lucky and proud I grew up during that era....I feel sorry for today's youth who have garbage to listen to...
Don’t feel sorry for them just because you don’t like their music. They like it and they don’t like ours from the 60’s so it’s just a matter of liking what you grew up to

Most music today is so annoying, lyrics, tunes is meaningless. all you hear is ye,ye,ye.
@@Benjie3406 ye,ye,ye, and meaningless lyrics: that's what my parents complained about in 1963 :-)
agree 100%, they are all commercial shits nowadays. KInks, Who, Pacemakers, on & on etc etc.
A band who served their time in the sixties and can still deliver - not like today's overnight wonders - who don't have a clue !
Yes,and no one remember the latest thing aka Chip paper.
se
same old magic that first love
IT WAS SO SIMPLE THEN RESPECT FEELING LOVE
Totally agree with this comment Douglas❤
we are all old now but listening to this, we are young again
Yes. I went to a concert a few weeks ago. I was upset. Friends of 16 years had betrayed (we heard a recorded conversation (rant, diatribe) on their phone, which had accidentally dialled ours and kept on recording.).

Young again? probably not.
My mum was Sheila North
Always and Forever, YOUNG to the Music.. 👴🏼
So very true can't take away what we had
Not old! OldER!!😊🎶
Haven't heard this for decades, but as soon as the music started the lyrics just came into my mind. Music just lives deep inside of us. Wonderful years, wonderful sounds !
Keith Iemon, What a perfect summation of the memories and emotion this wonderful song elicits...
Wonderful years, wonderfull sounds and wonderful radio london 266
Just right, thanx for your comment
@@vesnapejcinovic2409 pure delight
Agreed! 😊
The sixties the best decade for music you understood, and loved, still love ❤❤❤❤
I can listen to this over and over since it was first released in New Zealand I'm 76. Now still it says so much
this music will never die they can still do it mate not crapp like these days
I saw them in Berlin live at a club. Great times.
you are so right.
agree 100%, they are all commercial shits.
@@digitalpau2347 when bands could play and they still can....agree with you both..

@@larryvermeer6170 A British band from Liverpool who started up in the 1960's
Fantastic live version. They still sound as good as they did in the 60s. I loved this song when I was a teenager in the 60s and still love it now
Such a great song, ty Jackie Deshannon
brilliant group great songs
I was a teenager and didn't speak in English but l loved this song. Now I'm 70 years old and understand it perfectly.
Glad I didn't miss this lot in the 60 s 70 s 80 s bloody FANTASTIC
Songs like this never grow old they never get tired they just become timeless pieces of music.
This is what you call music.
This is one of the groups during my radio career I wish I would have seen in concert. One of the few groups who lasted 6 decades. No matter who they replaced, they still had that great sound. Thank you Searchers for some great flashback memories!

YEAH!!
Love this song, I was a teenager in the 60's, and these lyrics really do mean something to me. I'm addicted to playing it and 'Have I the Right'
Have i the right another goodie from the 60s..
Im old as well grew up in 50\60s didn't have much but the music ❤
A sad day day when they retired for our generation, understandable but a very sad loss for proper music lovers of real 60's bands. Miss you lads and hope you have a good retirement, just hoping for a comeback one off tour
Loved you all from 1966 I was 15 love you guys now i now 70 THANK YOU THANK YOU GOD BLESS

Probably the best song they ever did.Love the riff on the Rickenbacker still after all these years.
See Jackie deSannon sing it she wrote it
@@ncwdevine Correct. I love the searchers but prefer the original by Jackie, She also wrote Needles and Pins also covered by the searchers
I always love a Rickenbacker twelve string.
This was real music not the garbage we have today
So agree
Wow, sounds as good as the first time I heard it way back in the 60s
Still love it after nite out listening to this and music out there nite out, crap. Canny beat it xxx
Can you believe that? Still one of the best musical scores ever written and performed to perfection. Thank you, gentlemen.
It’s good,but, not as good as Jackie delshannons original version IMHO!
Abba's Agneta performs this song almost as good, and she has violins in background.
This is my favorite song of the Searchers. It's great they are still performing. I do get a kick out of Love Portion Number 9. Thank you for sharing this live performance.
This is an incredible live version. I am glad that I hit the 60's with the Searchers. Great music to flashback to a more simpler time.
THESE GOOD TIMES WILL NEVER COME AROUND AGAIN SO GLAD I LIVED THROUGH THE SIXTIES
John, so glad you weren’t like Daddy Cool who got stoned and missed it! I love this song too. X
We listen to this, and for a few minutes we're not old anymore.
Great group and great sound better then the modern stuff
Best of the best of the best🥰💋💋💋💋💋💋
Played this at my Dads funeral i know its a happy song but brings a tear to my eyes everytime
You are allowed to be happy …it’s your dad 👍
ONE OF THE GREATEST SONGS EVER WRITTEN!!! SEARCHERS WILL BE FOREVER ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SONG!!!!
Jackie de Shannon wrote it but the Searchers booted the arse right out of it. Total class!
To be fair both the Searchers and Jackie DeShannons versions are exceptionally good.
Im 32 and this sangs a belter.
Hello my friends! I'm 77 , but we are in the midst of "youth",
Because American poet Samuel Ullman said " Youth is not time of life, It's a state of mind"
So let's all go well !
From Japan
Love this song seen them. 5 years ago in porthcawl they are still amazing please come back love sue xxxx
Me too best of times, so glad l was there too. Wouldn’t swap my age for the world . There’s been nothing like it since another universe another world . ♥️💫🎉
Travelled from New Zealand to Melbourn,too see them ,thanks o our Daughter,who knew we were fans from the 60s
Loved the 60s music,I still live in the past with the music,watch them on TH-cam every day.
Ever so smart men back then.
Wow wow what a song come back old song don't like today's music thank you
This band is a real evergreen
They've outlasted lots of other 60s bands and were much underrated at the time
Class act , well done you guys!
we were 14/15 saw them in GLASGOW.brilliant,the originals.With Ike and Tina Turner, the BEATLES.it was never seen before.1965{??}we are now still together.(both 75 yrs,(im 2 Mths. her toyboy.).some say what.i say it was them learning about life tooo.sorry to bore u all.
John McNally deserves more credit for the Searchers' sound with his fabulous guitar-playing.
I agree, always thought he was very underrated.
That Rickenbacker which John plays sets off the Searcher’s distinctive sound!
Fantastic music I've never seen them play
John was may favourite Loved the Searchers
I'm 71 and we had the best!
I was born in 1944 and went through every kind of music and this can't be beat.
I was born in 1943 & I totally agree with you. Keep listening & stay safe.
The Searchers always give a great performance.
This song will never die so brilliant, Canny beat 60s no music like Searchers. Xx
I saw the searchers live in 1963 at the winter gardens Blackpool they are like a good wine they have got better with age. Ironic the original version of this song was sung by an american songstress name of Jackie De Shannon Ive still got it nearly 60 years later. I wonder what ever happened to her?? Great music never ages unlike human beings.
She's still around and working in the industry. She sure wrote some great tunes! I saw the Searchers with the Dave Clark Five in Portland, Oregon. I think it was 1962.
Very good brings back old memories 😊😊😊
Brings back memories the year I left school and I watch the Freeview channel 75 they play 60s music all day and evening :-).
Every time I hear this song the hair stands up on the back of my neck I automatically drift back to the sixty's, hanging around the fairground just loving the great sounds as a 15yr old kid, the hollies .the Who, Small Faces. You just can't buy that history that some of us were so fortunate to be a part of.
Forgive me grew up in 60,s was 14 in 1964
Ok Beatles ok Elvis no no Cliff no no
Now 2021 I now 70 realised my favourite group from mid 60,s THE SEARCHER from Needles and Pins
to my absolute favourite ( Jackie de Shannon song )WHEN YOU WALK IN THE ROOM absolute perfection
Thanks guys !!!!!!
There is no other music but the 60's
1952 here and you guys are right on the money. Not just Beatles and Stones but so many more. Such great music!
I saw the searchers over 100 times they never failed to give agreat concert didnt matter what the line was they had that unique sound
One of my all time favourites. From South Africa
after all these years the sound is amazing , could listen to this all day
The years have gone bye. But these lads keep going strong. Love them.
When I listen to the old music I am glad I was in that time of music not like the shit of today
Blast from the. Past brings these guys,back to life in my eyes😎
It’s a time warp that’s a circle that goes round and round ... priceless being part of that era 🤗
OMG ..... these guys were something ...... music just isnt the same these days , no soul in them
This is my parents song!! It was playing when my dad was introduced to my mother in 1964, they were married in 1965. It is now 2021 and 56 years and 4 children later they are still going strong they hear this song and their world stops.
They sound great!
Oh good it is to hear this kind of music compared to the rubbish nowadays
God bless the new three,they sing in harmony just as well. I love the new singing,she is fab,
One of the greatest bands
Such a great upbeat song by a great band ❤
The music was so much better back then.
Too bad we can't turn time back to those days I fell in love with my wife and played these songs in the band. I miss you honey. Blessings Georgie
