- Peter & Gordon were a British Invasion-era performing duo, formed by Peter Asher and Gordon Waller, that rocketed to fame in 1964 with "A World Without Love". Peter Asher's sister (the actress Jane Asher) was dating Paul McCartney (of The Beatles), and so Peter & Gordon recorded several songs written by McCartney, with or without John Lennon. "I Go To Pieces" was written by Del Shannon and given to the duo after the two acts toured together
The fifties & sixties were the best times of our lives. The best cars, the best people, the greatest songs, the simplicity of life. No Cell phones, I-Pads, I Phones, No Computers, No AIDS, no drive bys, just good times at the beach, the pool, the skating rink, the Drive-In theaters, Carvel Ice Cream Stands in the summer and ice skating on the lake in the winter. We left our doors open at night and the milk man, Dugans and the soda man was all I needed to get by. Great Times!
Listening to this song almost brings tears to my eyes. It reminds me of a time when we grew up in the best of times. Life was so much simpler then.
What a shame music isn't made this way anymore
I am 63 years old and I heard this song for the first time when I was 15 years old...high school was a blast
this music brings back memories of broken hearts, lost love and also better days. sad that you cant relive your past but you can always remember it.
This song means a lot when you love someone more than they love you.
my father told me to find this song on youtube because he wants to hear it, and so I did. After listening to this song I looked at him with a smile on my face and said " WOW! I Love it! what else do you want to listen to?"
I still get emotional when I hear this song! Man does it take me back! Absolutely LOVE this!
Del Shannon wrote this masterpiece and Peter & Gordon do a great recording. It is one of my all time favorite songs.
Visiting again. 7th grade dances, a line of girls doing the cha cha . I'm 63 but when I close my eyes I can still feel it. I'm so blessed to have lived in a time when music was outstanding. :o)
Well said Toni. 😄
me too
Amen lol I pity kids today they don't have anything that comes close to this. At least with my kids they had 80's music which is now their golden oldie era and did have some great tunes. Nothing will ever match the 60's IMHO. :o)
Me too. I know how you feel. I want to go back and start over. Our music was amazing.
Hey at least we can visit in our minds and with the help of YT videos it brings it back visually as well. Until they come up with a time machine it will have to do lol :o)
I'm a child of the '60s and this is, imo, one of the top 5 songs of the decade. This is a perfect pop song sung beautifully by Peter and Gordon. For some reason it was not a big hit for them, but it is a classic.
The great dous of the era Peter and Gordon, Chad and Jeremy, The Everly Brothers, Simon and Garfunkel.
You cant beat the oldie tunes......awesome!!!
This, folks, is REAL music...
Great song! Del Shannon had a gift for writing and this is one of the best versions!
I love this song. For a brief few years in the 1960's the music of the British Invasion lifted our spirits and helped us mend from the Kennedy Assassination. They extended our feelings of hope and innocence just a little bit longer.
I GREW UP IN THIS REAL GREAT MUSIC 5060"S I AM 68 . I WAS GLAD I WAS IN THIS ERA IWAS BORN 49
Avis, I'm with you. What a great experience being a teenager in the sixties! You have to feel sorry for people who missed that whole era; they'll never know.
R.I.P. Del Shannon. Thank you sir for such a beautiful song.
This song is officially a heart-breaker,
tear-jerker.
Very nice.
What I find sad is, singers and bands these days usually don't care how they are dressed. Bands back then did. I'm loving listening to these old songs. Thanks for posting this. You made an old lady very happy.
its not fair that our heros of music die to soon ,but the music lives on - forever
I was a senior in high school when my boyfriend broke up with me....This was my song...my mom bought me the album...She never complained as it played this over and over and over and over...you get my drift.. Still get those same feelings. Guess I never really got over that guy.
This song goes to show that some guys in their youth are just as dreamy and idealistic as teenage girls are. It is really a sweet song to know that guys can be just as sentimental and mushy ... in a good way!
Great harmony. It takes me back. Wish we had duos like this now.
I'm now 65. I still love these songs. It's awesome watching the videos.Greatest period of pop music was 1964-65-66. No other period comes close.
The fifties & sixties were the best times of our lives. The best cars, the best people, the greatest songs, the simplicity of life. No Cell phones, I-Pads, I Phones, No Computers, No AIDS, no drive bys, just good times at the beach, the pool, the skating rink, the Drive-In theaters, Carvel Ice Cream Stands in the summer and ice skating on the lake in the winter. We left our doors open at night and the milkman, Dugans Bread & Cakes and the sodaman were all I needed to get by. Great Times!
Loved Peter and Gordon, Chad and Jeremy, and all those British groups of the 60's, My teen years. What fantastic music then! Thank you for uploading.
Pure talent ! I miss these days, thankful I got to be a part of them. Thanks for posting.
Those 60's harmonies...they get me every time! Time travel...
these kind of music never die....love it
Wish we COULD go back to this time....I loved it! We did without a lot of the things that are here today...and it was way better. We didn't want for much. Music kept us busy and happy. It was a trip to just go to the music store and thumb thru the albums. Hanging out at the burger stands. Not sitting by and glued to the tv. No electronic gadgets to tie up our time. GREAT music!!!! Even better memories.
Gone are the days when music was great....... :(
Love their harmony! Gives me goosebumps!
Beautiful and lovely song. One of my all time favorites.
A world without Gordon is just too close to a World Without Love....everyday there is less & less reason to continue onward. Thes guys filled my heart to the point that 30+ years later I am still humming their tunes without a "radio reminder" to spur it. It was such a beautiful & hopeful period of history.
...sadness prevails at the moment....
I just love these old classics.
wow I sure miss this music glad I have all the 45's, 5000 of them and a jukebox, so I can still listen to all this great stuff, the music today is horrible
The video is extremely evocative of the time. It's hard to believe it was all so long ago now. But great that people are still coming back to it all these years later and finding such pleasure in it.
I had the advantage of attending a Beatle event where Peter Asher sang and also spoke about Gordon...they were great buddies and he brought the audience to tears. One of my favorites from the 60'S. (Peter is as cute as he's always been.)
Great song written by the great Del Shannon --rock and roll forever !!!!
The Greatest Music, The Greatest Cars, The Dancing, the whole 60's decade was insane. For us that were fortunate enough to have grown up in the 60's it was time that can never be replicated. I was 10 years old in 1960 so that decade was my growing up years. By 1970 I was married, graduated college, had a daughter, drafted, and on my way to Viet Nam. As I sit and look back I would do it all over again. The best times of my life; the 1960's RIP, Gone but not forgotten. We were the Lucky Ones!
Love Peter and Gordon and love this song. This was one of the first songs that intrroduced me to this wonderful duo.
My first concert - Peter and Gordon with Manfred Mann at the Playhouse Theatre in Winnipeg, December 1965. 50 years...wow.
dgrichmondbc Manfred Mann singing Bruce Springsteen's "Blinded by the Light" - wow! Peter and Gordon, "I don't care what they say I won't stay in a world without love..." - written I believe by Paul McCartney. Fifty years and it's like yesterday.
+lenspaulding yep idid
Heard The Beatles at the old Atlanta Stadium. Girls were screaming; so were my sister and I. Thought they were marvelous, but I was in love with Paul McCartney so of course they were great.
+WickedTornado I recall the sound being pretty good. The venue sat only about 1,000 or so. Remember kids rushing the stage at one point during Manfred Mann and the band having to stop to allow security people to move them back to avoid any injuries. As far as other shows go I've seen just about anyone worth seeing and the way I rank them is that there's Springsteen and then everyone else.
i doubt it since blinded by the light had not been written yet. most likely they sang doo wah diddy
i was a teen when the british invasion hit here it was sooo big a new sound led by the beatles ,everything was british in america talk,clothe,styles,it was a big impact on the america scene,
***** The times were more optimistic and the music more upbeat. People really believed life was generally going to get better and better. The police were polite (can you imagine?) and criminals too on the whole were not quite so vicious as they have become. People were much much much less foul mouthed. There was plenty wrong with those days, but they times were all in all more optimistic and perhaps happier and wow, there was more space, not so much cramping. Britain was overcrowded then but it is much worse today. The msuic was simple even naive but it made you happy to listen to it and men were mostly quite smartly dressed.
I also remember when it all started and hearing the Beatles were on their way to America for the first time. Everyone in school was excited and talking about the Beatles, expecially the girls.
Eriberto Nunez no doubt this will never happen again. The time was right, the groups were right, the music was right. I saw "Hard Day's Night" when I was 14 and was blown away. Peter and Gordon were great then and now, but would anyone buy new music such as this today? Not likely. Pity. What is being produced now is just crap.
gdholmfirth ur rite it was a big turning point 4 the music scene
lenspaulding Thank you for another ludicrous, absurd opinion that only demonstrates your arrogance and stupidity.
This song still breaks my heart every time I hear it.
I get goosebumps just listening to this. I am reminded of times when love ran deep and was not easily forgotten. Not too bad for a couple of doctor's boys. RIP dear Gordon.
my girlfriend and i had broken up,this song just brings back so many memories of two kids in love,it still make me cry at 62 yrs of age.
Peter & Gordon were another one of my favorites of that golden era of fantastic music! For all of you who missed the 60's,my heart goes out to you.Sorry about that!!
The wonderful thing is that after all these years people are still listening to it and admiring it and Peter & Gordon, who looked so young and innocent in this video.
Yes, the '60's were a time of change, a time of hope and a time of genuine love and caring amongst young people. And a time of great music and hall of fame talent. When artists had to work their way to the top the hard way, playing in bars and clubs for next to nothing, just hoping to be discovered.
This is such a great song. The album version done by Peter and Gordon didnt really do this song justice .... but this live version absolutely blows me away. It has all the heart and power that it should have had. I cant, stop listening to it. This shows that Peter and Gordon really had the talent. Thanks so much for uploading this version.
Still just absolutely wonderful...I remember listening to this when riding with my older sister. :)
Memories of my early years,great and beautiful songs. We never have them today......w/ beautiful lyrics....
It was great coming of age during the 60`s and hearing these songs first hand. The amount of music we got to experience during our school days was incredible. There were 2 and 3 hit wonders falling all over themselves with new songs hitting the `charts` almost daily. Couple that with the Beatles and Stones at the time and there was no place else to be. Wouldn`t change it for the world...
Think we all had a song that reminds us through a time when the feelings we had in the 60’s and that girl couldn’t get out of your mind.... sure touches those memories.....
Very,very blessed to be a young girl in that time and era. Friends, dancing dating . So much good memories. I'm in my 60's and I still listen toy Music. Keeps me feeling young always.
Watching again on March 22, 2017. OMG! I'm literally 'going to pieces' right now. Memories just come flooding back in my 69th year of being on this earth. Thank you for the memories.
I love their harmonies. Gordon Waller R.I.P. so outstandingly goodlooking and such a wonderful singer.
I just read that Gordon has died of cardiac arrest last night (July 16th). RIP, Gordon. Your voice and gentle personality will never be forgotten.
I was lucky enough to see them perform live & in person on7-14-65 at Salina , Kansas's Memorial Hall when they toured with The Dick Clark Caravan Of Stars. I was very lucky to have gotten to hear & met the late Gordon Waller on 10-28-00 at a night club in Dallas , Texas. Let me tell you all Gordon was one of the sweetest & kindest & quite a gentleman you could ever meet. May Gordon RIP! Thanks for sharing this lovely song by my favorite duo. Cheers: Christine V. Klinger-Berndt
I miss that sound! Those were the days! Nothing like today were you can't even understand the music or is it just NOISE!
ITS JUST NOISE. THERES NO FEELING TO TODAYS MUSIC. YOU DON'T COME AWAY FEELING SAD OR HAPPY OR ANYTHING. YOU JUST WAIT FOR THE NEXT SOUND OF NOISE.
Right today the music is so different from before i use to listen also to music of today many are disgusting its not pleasing but simply a noise i don't mean all there are still few who at least a modern music yet still a music that both oldies and the youngster can listen we knew what was the music of yesterday and today NO OFFENSE
You Are Right!!!..I miss 'em too, so much...
Agreed. Just like the Everly Bros.; Peter, Paul & Mary; Mamas & Papas; the Searchers, etc. Loved the harmony of the '60's.
exactly
I still love this song today. The melody is superb, it's lyrics naive and pretty, and it has a distant and lonely feel to it that goes with young love....
I sang this song every morning going to school......love this song.
love this song ! 1960s the best! thank you...
"I go the places we used to go but I know she'll never show/She hurt me so much inside,now I hope she's satisfied..." I wish I WAS BORN IN 60'S TOO!!THE BEST DECADE OF ALL!!
Great song written by Del Shannon. When you hear songs like this, you go back to the 60s, the best time for music. You stay younger when hearing the music of the 60s. You can never grow old.
Lovely song . Beautiful words
Lord have mercy! This great song and musical talent brings back so many memories. Those of us who grew up at this time were so blessed.........I pity the young people of today. A few youngsters hear these songs and understand what we are talking and reminiscing about.
My wife and I grew up during the 60's snd groups like Peter & Gordon were part of our Baby-Boomer early years...We still listen to all these songs...I feel sorry for the kids today who have little music to compare with the 60's era...I am so glad I grew up then....Love the 60's
My parents had this on a 45, I'd play it over and over again as a kid never knowing it would one day describe how I would feel.
A song for Every Man. These guys are so unpretentious - they just sing their songs and share their personal stories.
perfect sweet harmonies. great song by two very talented guys.
You need to have really loved and lost to understand these lyrics, the pain never goes away.
One of my all time favorites...still enjoy it
Peter and Gordon...one of my favorite groups in high school. Loved every one of their songs............
Always thought this song captured the pain of a break up perfectly.
This was fabulous song during my growing up era... Harmonies were fab!!!
One of my favorite groups of all time...I also enjoyed Chad and Jeremy about the same time.
How well I remember this song and Peter & Gordon. Lovely music
+MrMrwilson11 Louise, cette chanson était pour toi...dommage...
This reminds me of when I was still single and felt so very free. Wow! what a great feeling. Wish I could recapture that feeling.
Pat Melton You can Pat, you can either suggest your 'hubby' give you some freedom or you can get divorced. But, freedom, isn't cool, when you have to pay the bills. :)
+lenspaulding I never had to do "pot". Sorry you see that as your solution.
lenspaulding You're a 'shush' that's not
the same as 'feeling', Lard Ass!
You're like Al Capone with a load in
your underwear!
+Pat Melton You can aloha
Montgomery Denzer ANd wear a Hawiian
hula skirt. Remember when you 'worked'
as a hula chick?
Oh all the songs I heard bring back memories during my high school days. I was born 1949, now 67yrs young... from LA Union, Philippines.
ñ
Wonderful and magical!
I was serving in the AF 1964 thru 1968 and these songs bring back so many memories.
I miss the old days. Love this song.
Peter Asher has such a lovely presentation of the music. Thanks for sharing this.
any time I listen to this old music, it always gives me this intense sense of urgency. something like nostalgia for an era I never lived through..
Very heartfelt, beautiful lyrics, one of my favorites, so glad I lived to enjoy these great songs
So true Angela, brings back so many good memories from my youth...Great music lives forever....Peace and Love...
This is a classic piece of video! In the age before digital character generators, Peter and gordon's name was cut out of plywood, painted white, and hung from very thin wire, so the producers stage hand could "fly it out on cue". In addition, Peter and Gordon are on an "infinity" parallax stage. The stage is not really deep, it is an illusion.
Fabulous thanks Peter & Gordon
I had no idea that Del Shannon wrote this song. Great song!!!!!! Great duo!!!!
I grew up LOVING THIS MUSIC! All the nights at the roller rink..doubles skating. I went through no less than 3 General Electric radios just listening and singing. WOW..great comments, too. I am 62 now. SIGHHHHHHH! Thank you for this excellent recording!
+Katheren Reizel isnt it crazy when you think of your age ... I cant believe it... its like my mind is still in the past and never aged but my body did!
+emilshere And today I am going to pieces...it is a holiday, my family is way in the past and this song has even more powerful a meaning than ever. Such beautiful, simply lyrics and so true. No super rock, just beautiful music from two very talented young men. Thank you for your response.
+emilshere, Am a year older and miss this music so much. It was pure and raw at the same time! Thx for sharing.
Great performance! Love the backdrop...
I really go to pieces when I hear this
great video I loved all their songs long live the 60s 🎵♩🎶🎶
Del Shannon was a wonderful artist
I've always Loved this song, and still do :)
great live performance....this takes talent. great performers
I grew up with these guys, the Cascades, Paul and Paula, on and on. This was great music-I never tire of listening to it.
Del Shannon, esta tu canción fue parte de mi vida y aun la escucho cada vez que puedo, jamas la dejare de disfrutar.
This song never fails to break my heart
