I'm 65 now and was happily married for 30 years. She passed away back in 2014 and this tune has always touched my heart and like it says the world may be a sad terrible place to live but I don't want to die yet. I hope it won't be too much longer before I meet her again but I don't want to die. Bless us all
Dean Ford the vocalist did a version of this with Joe Tansin a few years ago. He has passed away now but that recent version is hauntingly beautiful. You can see it on youtube
This song touches your soul in many ways. It is my favourite all time song. 'The world is a bad place, a bad place, a terrible place to live'. That has been my life experience. I am 70 now but somehow this song fills me with hope. Thank you for reviewing this one. God Bless.
Marmalade are a Scottish pop rock band from the 60's. "Reflections Of My Life" was their biggest hit. They also did a version of the Beatles' song "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da" which was very popular. Other songs were "Baby Make It Soon", "Rainbow", "My Little One", "Cousin Norman", "Radancer" etc.
❤🤍💙 I love this song plus growing up in the Vietnam War era this was a song that was adopted by our Military. This song will always have a special place in my heart. ❤🤍💙
I loved marmalade, also really liked Junior Cambell (member who wrote this) when he went solo and done Hallelujah Freedom. Great song, and the piano playing is fab too.
Thank you, Bruce and thank you, Andrei and Dominika for uploading this beautiful song. Alas, I had this 45 but sold it to a collector. I'm glad I still have Rainbow! Great comments and reaction.
i felt a tear in my eye when i was 12 or 13 my mom and dad split up, a lot of feelings just came out, i was 12 when i heard this for the i first time , thank you again
Can’t not notice that you really love that Jean shirt, your my kind of gal thats what most the women in my life wear . Love this song , love yall❤️🫶🏻🙏🏻
Song that I'm talking about is that about him making his way home back to Scotland to Glasgow road he passed away in 2019 very sadly but and a lot of ways this song was homegoing song
In the beginning, you would have a piece of good, clean toast, and on it you would smooth butter and beegees. After a time, people replaced the beegees with marmalade. And it stuck...at least until eaten.
To me, most of the music back then was just ear candy, because that's how I listened to the radio back then. If the song was deep that was just a bonus. The music and vocals were always enough for me, and the lyrics were least important. Nowadays it's mostly backwards, and probably why it lost its feel for touching one's soul.
You should listen to their other songs ( Radancer / Rainbow / Cousin Norman / Ob La Di Ob La Da ) which beat the Beatles to number one in the UK charts
Watch your reactions with pleasure from the U.S. Another great pop song from this 70s era is Michael Martin Murphy "Wildfire" - specifically the live 1986 video with the Rio Grande Band. I think you'll love it. Also, "Please Come to Boston" by Dave Loggins - another gem from the 70s and finally, Roberta Flack "First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" - here is the link.. th-cam.com/video/d8_fLu2yrP4/w-d-xo.html&si=WwrxDWJsgvUXl5Xt Thanks for playing and enjoy.
This sounded to me like the studio version inserted over a live performance. The lips didn't match perfectly and you could hear orchestra instruments that were not seen in the video.

This song was adopted by US Vietnam veterans as their anthem.

For sure you nailed it I love it so sad Dean has passed, my favorite song as I started high school in 69...still have my 45 rpm.
What a great choice... ooh, how it filled my eyes!

Viewing life as an adult and reflecting back to how you view life as a child, from innocent to reality.
Pretty sure hes lamenting a US soldier stuck in viet nam; but whatever🤷

Dean Ford has a beautiful bookend to his life with a version he did before he died.
As been said it was adopted by US troops during Vietnam war.
i felt a tear in my eye when i was 12 or 13 my mom and dad split up, a lot of feelings just came out, i was 12 when i heard this for the i first time , thank you again
A couple of other great tunes from this era are "He's Not Heavy He's My Brother" by the Hollies, and "Get Together" by the Youngbloods.
I remember the song when it was released and instantly was one of my favorites.Honesty about how terrible life could be went straight to my heart

Ohh my youth , always thought they sounded like the Beatles , not a bad thing 👍👍👍
Golliwog on the drum also on the Jars of marmalade sold in their year.
Can never get tired of listening to this song
A great song from a time when lyrics usually had meaning and emotional depth.
Favorites of Dean will be reflections of My Life and Glasgow road p but if you look it up if he did perform a lot of other great songs in between
Did you see him perform Roy Orbisons song dream at someones birthday party
Yes I did it's one of those rare clips on TH-cam
You two really get this song.
Listen to the song that he recorded in 2013 Glasgow road by Dean Ford

Try Dean Fords song THE GLASGOW ROAD by Dean and Joe Tansin not long before Dean died R.I.P. Dean
Singer Dean Ford passed away in 2018 from Parkinson's disease.
YOUR CORRECT DOMINIKA, IT WAS A (TAMBOURINE)
Vietnam.
And this song Glasgow road he's a lot older but he still hasn't lost Mikey had their with a I mean like he had with the marmalade
The song is sung by a scared guy in the Vietnam jungle swamps longing for home.
Look at the eyes on Dominika in the thumbnail; you'd better be careful and be good.
Mónica Naranjo europa concierto stage. Os sorprenderá.
Check out the alarm song strength.
