Thanks to The Brothers Four for this beautiful song
thank God i belong to the baby boomer generation born 1958 listening to beautiful music such as this... twas so good be young then...
I have been young and now am old. This song and other reflective ballads bring floods of bittersweet memories, emotions, thoughts. How strange this life the great creator has endowed us with. For the fullest meaning of existence come to him, read his book the Bible and follow the instructions to bow before the son he sent. Life is meant to be lived toward him.
Excellent, eventually it’s very meaningful!
Amém

Thank you Frank for the beautiful comment. This is one of the most sumptuous pieces of music ever written and these singers do it justice.
Frank Jennings, I bet you are only old on the outside. The mind is young still. Your words are correct. Folks who want the best life they can have will ONLY find it in Jesus Christ. 😊🙏🏻💜
I was eight in 1960. First time when I heard this song, tears came up to my eyes. I was a little thin Japanese boy. I couldn't understand the words but I surely felt very sad. I still listen to this song.
😙😊
I was 5
I was 8 too.
I wanted to write the same thing
I also had 8! And I love this song performed by the brother s four
I was 12 yrs old when the brothers 4 were a hit. I am now 70, and still playing their timeless songs again and again. thanks..
Great music never fades away !!!###
My mother bought the LP at least 60 years ago -- maybe because we were 4 brothers, no sisters. An Afrikaans familie in Bloemfontein, South Africa. I'm 70.
Thanks guys this take millions of us back decades. It sure does me.
As someone who just turned the age of 70, well, I can relate in such a meaningful way to this song. The Brothers Four were a fantastic group of very talented musicians and performers. God bless them and God bless us all.
Maravilhosa, não canso de escutar, que harmonia....17 setembro 2023
One of all time favourites. A great, peaceful song.
Songs are like wine, as they age, they taste better...
Music to its purest form
เพลงนี้ฟังมาแต่ยังเป็นเด็กน้อย ขอบคุณที่สร้างความสุข. ( Thai )
When I turned 5 or 6 The Brothers Four performed at my Dad's Elks Club. (1967 or '68) Dad went to school or grew up with Dick Foley. Mr. Foley and the Brothers Four sang me happy birthday! That I will never forget! Dad passed away too early & I don't remember whether they went to school or grew up together. We owned that first album from the beginning though & I loved it!!
A neat story and fine memory. If the performance you are referring to was at the Lake City Elks (in North Seattle) then it was the first performance I did as a member of the Brothers Four. A special memory for me as well.
@@MarkPearsonMusic Well now I need to thank you for jogging MY memory! Yes, it was the Lake City Elks! We lived in Brier, WA, but we spent tons of time in Kenmore, Lake City, etc. There MIGHT be a picture somewhere. If I find it I’ll be sure to send through the website! So happy you’re still performing!
@@carrikeaton3724 What a neat memory to share with you...if you do find photos please share them.
I had my newborn child 3 days ago, a lovely lil girl. I've been singing her this song whenever she needs to be calmed 🥰🥰🥰 She did calmed down though.
Music that has the power to touch even the hardest heart... what a beautiful memory this song brings with it...
I agree😀
P
So beautiful and so SAD. 🥺. 👍🎉
Since I was a child, living in the interior of Minas Gerais (Brazil), I saw my father listening or even humming these songs. Today, they are part not only of history, but of people's souls. It brings longing, peace, breath! (Agnelo Neto-Jornalista)
Sou de Minas também (Muzambinho). Não tenho a sua mesma história em termos de conexão com esse grupo. Mas o Mineiro sabe o q é bom, e o que é bom... Sempre chamará o mineiro. Abraços!
My Lovely and favourite song,Thank You Brothers Four very Lovely Song!!
Now I'm getting older and this symphony still in my mind and heart, thanks for sharing sir
Speechless,,, this band is so wonderful.. full of soul.. just listening to the song is just, your taking you back from the past.. where everything's not complicated..
Music is life Music gives us healthy feelings closest to our environmental natural life living
Rai things were simpler then.
Thank so much AWESOME MUSIC
I could listen to your beautiful singing forever... Thank you, guys.
That song still gives me goosebumps. Love your music guys.
This song has remained in my mind to this day. I was young then...
Old songs are complete package to reminisce the past. Still love listening to it. Though many new songs are composed still it cannot match the meaningful messages of old songs.
Wonderful song.. Such real memories.
To Mark: The Alamo is my husband's favorite movie, and this song is my all-time favorite! We grew up in the 60's in Southern California. Thanks for bringing so much joy to generations of people with your music, you have a true gift! Love you lots! Blessings to you and your group!
This song will always be Pure Gold.
Beautiful!
One of the most beautiful songs that is eternal..
Lots of miles driving in the car listening to their songs.....each generation got to luv their songs. and was a must in the car....never left home w/out their tunes...
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Nice memories.
STILL ONE of the great songs in 2019.
Unique and Timeless , Lovely Brothers ....
It evokes my college days even after decades.Such a simple and lovely song by Bros 4.It will be carried by me till death.
I have loved this song since I was a teen. I love all their music. I wish we still had this type of music.
I never saw the movie but I heard this beautiful haunting song when I was a youngster, possibly 60 years ago. I still love it and makes me think of young innocent years back home playing with my schoolmates during recess times. What memories it evokes even now. Thank you for keeping it alive😍
I missed my Dad. This music fed my childhood with sweet memories and his embrace. I miss you so much papa. I love you. Yes my tears shed when i listen to this song, the song that reminds me of you.
Ein fantastisches Lied das ich schon 60 immer wieder gerne
Höre
Bello, maravilloso tema . Muy buenos recuerdos 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
In my youth I had growing up with this song in my ear every day and every day
Thank you for the performance
I first heard this classic song about 1974, when I was 7. I grew up and became a cinephile, fan of classic movies too, especially John Wayne's ones and westerns. Now, I am remembering this track is from The Alamo. Excellent!
Can't describe how touchy is it for my memories... Thanks a lot for everyone, singers, composer and poetry... there is always a place in my heart to you, guys...
God they took me back to my teens, it felt so good to my ears, mind u I am 70 years old
Thanks for all the beautiful memories!! 1961, college freshman...Oh, to be that young again!!!
This is so nostalgic, it brings tears to my eyes.
Love these guys !!!! Real music, when music was music !
You’re all great singers even at this stage of your life! God bless you in your journey.Hope there would be another group of young men to follow your name! Thank you for those wonderful songs!
I heard the song some 50 years ago.It is still ringing green in my ears!A deathless song.
I remember when I saw the Alamo as a child and this song really hit me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wonderful 💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎
I'll never 4get it, as a young man seeing the lady n kids leave the 'Alamo', with this song as background score, everyone was quiet, in tears
Fantastique. True eternal music
I saw the Brothers Four at the Clark Gym at what was the University of Buffalo NY in the Spring of 1961 - just as the students were getting ready to graduate and go home, the Green Leaves of Summer are calling me (and them) Home..... You could hear the tears as they sang this beautiful song..... Truly 'was so good to be young then.....'
The song reminds me of my childhood.
You look great .. thank you.. for all the beautiful music you made...
so love their harmonies. wish i could have seen them in person. and LOVE those Martin guitars
Never being forgotten song
Thank you
I love this group...my father's favorite...he loves so much their undying music...
What a blessing to see them singing in 2020. I've been listening them since 1990.
I had been living in a different country for 2 years when I heard this song. Made me long for the honmeland as I wanted the familiar things I had grown up with to be around me once again.
Brings me tears and memories of my high school days - those happy, innocent, care-fee days...
I feel the same, beautiful memories ! I was a happy child, as happy as I feel now.
Bons tempos,...good times!
Yes indeed .
Same here.I'm so emotional.
For me it reminds me of Once upon a time... in Nazi occupied France
Those songs will never be forgotten ,but to be remembered
Such beautiful voices,each in their own right and together they are a masterpiece!
Absolutely beautiful I can not stop lisetning thanks GRACIAS ALAMOS
Alway provided very very beautiful song for us.....Thanks
wel 1000 keer gekeken, wat is dit mooi !
What a fantastic song sung so beautifully by the Brothers Four. Thank you for the wonderful music - this and many others that you have given us. This has enables us to have many hours of enjoyment. David Thambiratnam, Brisbane, Australia
Any time I listen to this song I fall in love with it, Though they are old now, I still love thier songs.
I grew up hearing the Brothers Four, on TV, radio, and especially the Firestone Christmas albums.
Trying not to be an old fogey here. But so much popular music in the mid 60s was GOOD music.
One of my favorite song.
An absolute great song. One of the best of all time.
Que linda canção!!! Traz muita paz e harmonia!
I like their sweet performance ....are so good to be old then...the green leaf of summer is calling you right here to sing this song..
My siblings and I as babes, toddlers to young children and adults were so lucky to grow up with this music of the classic era of the 60's to the 80's. I wish we can turn back the hands of time or if we have a time machine just in this age of technology I will definitely jump in!!
For 61 years I like hear and listen to this wonderful song .
I wish longevity and health to veteran performers.
BRAVO!!!! BRAVISSIMO!!!! GOOD OLD TIMES.....
Those were the days. . .anche io penso cosi.
It was good to be young then, to be close to the earth...
Loved this song from when I was a kid growing up in New Zealand , now 71, living in Australia and still love it......
CT FYIt
This song had destroyed many houses that broke homes
안녕하세요! 반갑습니다!!! 좋습니다!!! GOOD!!!
Love this song, I was 7 years in 1961. Since these years I hear this beautiful song. I watched the movie many times. Greetings Brothers Four, from Costa Rica.
I love the song. It brings me back to my childhood days. I do also love the film THE ALAMO, with John Wayne, Richard Widmark and Lawrence Harvey in the lead roles. Id love to see the movie again. So classic--both the song and the music.
And the film.
I feel like going back to the countryside where I really experienced summer ( also rain… bathing in the rain, hearing thunder). Now I’m holed up in a city apartment. I don’t experience and feel the change of seasons.
Grandes personajes. Muy bien avenidos. Con mucho gusto. Todas sus canciones son preciosas.
The Brothers Four were one of the amazing groups we had. The folk music was beautiful. I am a lot older now but those were my happiest days sitting in a coffee house and listening to folk music.🥰
Wow! They still got it!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Excelente cancion del recuerdo.🇪🇨🇪🇨🇪🇨👍👍👍🎵🎶🎶🎶🎶🎵
My favorite from the Brothers Four. Loved this song.
Music by Dimitri Tiomkin, lyrics by Paul Francis Webster.
A time to be reapin', a time to be sowin', the green leaves of summer are callin' me home
'Twas so good to be young then in the season of plenty, when the catfish were jumpin' as high as the sky
A time just for plantin', a time just for ploughin', a time to be courtin' a girl of your own
'Twas so good to be young then, to be close to the earth, and to stand by your wife at the moment of birth
A time to be reapin', a time to be sowin', a time just for livin', a place for to die
'Twas so good to be young then, to be close to the earth, now the green leaves of summer are callin' me home
