My grandpa Tom Guernsey was in this band, im pretty sure hes the one in the back to the right in the first photo, he passed away like 9 years ago. I love this song so much and miss him he was only 68. and was so good at guitar:)
@Almond Milc Do you happen to know where I can find the other version of this song at? It’s the same band & It’s pretty much identical but with slightly different lyrics
OMG!.You must very proud of him!!! So psycho...authentic band!!!👌👌🤘🏾 He's not gone...actually!!! We have...you have those precious songs!!!💎💎💎💎📀💿💽💽 RIP!..GOD BLESS HIM!!!🙏😌🎧🎶🎶🎸🎸🎙🎙💞💞💞💞🖤🥀🥀🥀
Note to current musicians: it may not be today, or tomorrow, or the next day, but one day your music will reach people. Even if it’s sixty years later, people will find it
Yeah... and even now, millions of people are finding (and loving) it in outer realms, planes, frequencies, throughout the whole multidimensional universe...
Just in case anyone else is curious, I did a little digging on these guys, and found some info. They were a D.C.-area band, active in the mid 60’s, that later morphed into The Collection, and after that into Graffiti. As The Hangmen, they issued 3 different singles, this one being the first. This song is the B-side. It was very popular locally. Reportedly, at one point in 1965 this single was the number one most requested on local D.C. rock and roll radio stations, incurring even more requests than the Beatles at the time. Whether it was this song or the A-side (“What a Girl Can’t Do”) is unclear. They also issued a lone full length LP in 1967 called “Bitter Sweet”, also on the Monument label. From there, the trail goes cold. If anyone else has more info on these guys, please feel free to add to this in a reply.
@@Shikta-poobah67DC in the suburbs at the time. I remember hearing this song as one of those "dream" songs. Seems to me I can recall the Hangmen dressed in striped t-shirts. They were a better class of high-school hop band as I recall. I was not really into them as I was hot on soul and dance music at that time: 65-66. Another band from that time in the DC area was the Young Senators, I saw them one Halloween at All Souls Church. What a hoot. Midnight Hour at 12 sharp.
@@johnnyhammer There's no reason to point out the differences in which others who are from different countries and cultures use capitalization in what may not even be their native language.
@@goblinbollocks2838 Zombies songs especially like "When I Loved Her", "Leave Me Be", "Beechwood Park", "She's Not There", "I Love You", and even "Tell Her No." There's more. They are a great listen and deservedly now in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Sometimes I have to step back and think about how weird the modern world is. I am listening to a song that was released 51 years ago. Everyone involved in its production is either really old now or dead. But here I am, 51 years later, listening to the exact same recording that someone could have listened to in 1965. The singer sounds just like he did 51 years ago, and in 100 years he'll sound exactly the same way he sounds today. The world got really strange, really fast.
I get you. This song kind of facilitates that type of thinking. Its unusually haunting and very hard to believe its the B side to one of their other songs. I think most of us all share one of those girls that we really liked and somehow lost touch with them. The story that could have been I guess. As our lives continue pulling us all into different directions, we lose touch with people, meet new people, and never realize how easy it is to lose contact with those special people.
What a perfect song from the 60s. The song transports me back to the 60s and how much I enjoyed that time period. The songs,my friends,my parents,my sister and brother.
I was listening to some type of melancholy garage psyche and it eventually morphed into this songs and I see it referenced as doo wop. How beautiful, I’ll have to go down a weirdo rabbit hole trying to find songs of similarity
[Verse 1] Well, I had a dream last night And you seemed ever so near I dreamt that I was holding you tight And whispering sweet things in your ear [Pre-Chorus] But now the night is through And I find myself still thinking of you [Verse 2] It was a vision of your loveliness Of your sweet face and wondering eyes You'll never come back to me I guess But my dreams keep telling me lies [Chorus] Now when the night is day and you're the girl who faded away [Bridge] My love for you is so real Aah But you'll never know the way that I feel Aa-ah [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] My love for you is so real Aah But you'll never know the way that I feel Aa-ah [Chorus] Well, the night is day and you're the girl who faded away I said the night is day and you're the girl who faded away You know the night is day and you're the girl who faded away
I’m 16 and I’ve loved this song since I was 10 when I found it. This is my favorite song and I’ve never met anyone my age who has ever heard of it, that’s kinda crazy to me.
Unfortunately I doubt many from the current generations will deep this far down for music. Many are just focused on huge artists today but Its cool to love unknown artists because the music is unique and from a different era of time.
I got hooked on this beautiful, haunting tune when it came out in '65 -it was the slightly odd chord sequence that got me - Em Em C C Am Dm Em Em together with the melody that fits seamlessly into it. Fred
It's so haunting, and so ahead of it's time. The melody in the chorus reminds me of something Nirvana or another melodic 90s band would write 30 years later.
It's truly amazing what you can find on TH-cam. This to me captures the sound of the mid 60's garage scene very well. I was barely old enough to remember it, but the mood is reflective of many of the tunes of that day.
I was scrolling just to see what was on TH-cam while listening to something else and 2 times this accidentally started playing. So I listened. What a great song. I can't believe I have never heard of them.
im not sure how this popped up in my feed, but im eternally grateful for however it did and managed to catch my eye enough to click on it. incredibly lovely, its like we were meant to find it.

❤ People may change, but God never changes, he still loves us with the same unconditional pure heart he loved when he created all of our spirits in Heaven. He loves us so much that he sacrificed his son's life, for our sakes... he died, so that we may live! All those who believe in his name have gained eternal life. He speaks with us through people, plants, animals... because the whole universe was made by Him! He can change your life for the better! You're worth everything, he is not ashamed of you and accepts you as you are! Come as you are and he will create in your spirit a clean heart. You are precious, and you are loved!
I understand exactly what you are trying to communicate. This song and so many others from 50 plus years ago were so good that the sounds will live forever.
Awoke from a dream about a girl I was good friends with some years ago. I messaged her but the response was cold and to a now stranger. In my dream, she looks like now, and she was picking some things up around the house. We looked out of a window and she hugged me from behind and kissed my back. I turned around and couldn't wait to kiss her. She smiled and knew I couldn't wait for this first kiss. Then I hear a baby crying. And I awake. This has been reoccurring over the past 5 years with her. She truly is the girl who faded away. Every time.
Ah that sounds painful. There's this girl I really like but I think and feel she doesn't like me back for a few reasons. I can't stop thinking about how amazing she is and it hurts me to think she'll fade away as we move away in 6 months despite the fact I currently regularly see her witihin our friendgroup. I ruminate but deep down I realise any sense of constant calm and positive feeling will come from within myself and looking after myself, which I'm neglecting at the moment.
its bc u didnt find closure im not lesbian and i havent seen this girl since middle school (im 22 now) but i dream of her a lot, and she sometimes just shows up randomly in my dreams. its normal its not the one that got away or anything its probably just a crush that never went away
@@badmeow2312that is very possible but i think it’s different since you aren’t/weren’t in love with the girl (i assume at least). i have some reallyy weird dreams but the recurring ones really feel like they have a hidden meaning to them
Strangely enough it was 90s Hip Hop using Garage samples that got me into this music. I had a J Dilla compilation that featured some tracks and I can see why he dug them. The guitar solo in this is so melancholy and mournful. Great music.
happy belated! and congratulations! many more to go any band recommendations for young people into this genre of music? some lesser known ones would be great!
Joe Triplett, Thank you so much for giving us your insight and for your contribution to this beautiful song. I didn't discover The Hangmen/ Reekers until later in life, but I'm so glad I did. Please feel free to tell us more about Tom and the group and thanks again for this gem and many others such as "Everytime I Fall in Love" and "Don't Call Me Flyface!"
You don't find this song, it finds you
Yeah
Exactly
Eerily true... it was a random TH-cam reco. I was thinking how strange when I saw your prescient comment. Wackadoo.
Thats been my experience, its like a ghost, macabre and familiar ❤
It just did..:)
The TH-cam algorithm truly has its moments
And this isnt one
Exactly.... Just got recommended and I love this song
This song hit me just right. Talk about being in the right time. Your comment is amazing thank you
@@michaelmanning7954:(
It's great to see that younger people are enjoying music like this from back in the day.
I guess weird and forgotten music always was the best
Nothing weird about this song. It's quite lovely.
Check out “I Lost Something In the Hills” by Sibyl Baier, she’s the epitome of this.
I guess it's weird you think this song is weird.
I want to believe your good taste brought you here and made you stay.
Nothing weird about this.💫
replying under every recent comments and begging for guitar tabs (if anyone knows) 😭 im a beginner and i wanna learn this song it’s so pretty
My grandpa Tom Guernsey was in this band, im pretty sure hes the one in the back to the right in the first photo, he passed away like 9 years ago. I love this song so much and miss him he was only 68. and was so good at guitar:)
You had an awesome grandpa man🤙 may he rest in peace 💙
Your grandpa received the gift of music, and shared with all of us, rest in peace.

I was in D.C. in 1965-66. "What A Girl Can't Do" was definitely the local hit! the WEAM Team played it a lot!
Very cool thanks 😎

This is one of those dreamy songs that I don't know that I could ever tire listening. Reminiscent of some of the Zombies songs of 64-65. Dig it!
I hear shades of Zombies as well.
Definitely Zombies influenced.
Could you give me track names of tunes this is similar to please. I like this sound

I wasn't high at all. Believe it or not, it's easy to have unusual thoughts when you're sober.
do you see them real live
I get you. This song kind of facilitates that type of thinking. Its unusually haunting and very hard to believe its the B side to one of their other songs.

What a perfect song from the 60s. The song transports me back to the 60s and how much I enjoyed that time period. The songs,my friends,my parents,my sister and brother.
The ENERGY of thelate 60's was palpable!
Perfect timing, this song is gonna help me through seasonal depression
A million views for a fairly obscure 1965 B-side. Great to see this discovered after so long.
I was listening to some type of melancholy garage psyche and it eventually morphed into this songs and I see it referenced as doo wop. How beautiful, I’ll have to go down a weirdo rabbit hole trying to find songs of similarity

[Verse 1]
Well, I had a dream last night
And you seemed ever so near
I dreamt that I was holding you tight
And whispering sweet things in your ear
[Pre-Chorus]
But now the night is through
And I find myself still thinking of you
[Verse 2]
It was a vision of your loveliness
Of your sweet face and wondering eyes
You'll never come back to me I guess
But my dreams keep telling me lies
[Chorus]
Now when the night is day and you're the girl who faded away
[Bridge]
My love for you is so real
Aah
But you'll never know the way that I feel
Aa-ah
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
My love for you is so real
Aah
But you'll never know the way that I feel
Aa-ah
[Chorus]
Well, the night is day and you're the girl who faded away
I said the night is day and you're the girl who faded away
You know the night is day and you're the girl who faded away
Thank you so much
@ ANTI’ Cheers!! Thanx...
Just beautiful! Thanks!
The lyrics to this song are very poetic and beautiful especially when it involves the love of a girl. Thanks for sharing them with us.

Wish it was on Spotify :(
oh my God how is it NOT

Really inventive melody and great love lyrics some one in this band was depressed
Love haunted love songs! Glad to find this having grown up in the 1960's! Thanks, Joe!
I know i'm late, but do you have any recommendations?
any recommendations
I love this song too much
This song's sounds surprisingly so modern it's ahead of it's time
Light a black candle for lost love... 🖤
Had a long day, and finding this seems to have calmed me down. What an interesting song to be blessed with listening to.
Hearing this was special, what a unique experience. Thanks, Hangmen! This song is very beautiful.
Damn I love this song

Songs in Minor Keys have to be special to get away from their stereotypical label of being just-
meloncolic.
Great to hear from someone who loved it at the time. Cheers Fred
amazing how even as a teen over 50 years later, i love this song. incredible band who did incredible work.
What kind of pact did you make to live as a teen for so long?
It's truly amazing what you can find on TH-cam. This to me captures the sound of the mid 60's garage scene very well. I was barely old enough to remember it, but the mood is reflective of many of the tunes of that day.
ITS SAD CANT FIND THESE KIND TODAY LOSS BREED
For me the same.

Haunting and beautiful

this should be in spotify
I always come back to this song
It feels so right
This kind of connection you feel to a song is what life's about
At least part of what life's about

I just got recommended this. Cool
Sounds like a dream

I understand exactly what you are trying to communicate. This song and so many others from 50 plus years ago were so good that the sounds will live forever.
One of the best songs ever made in my opinion.
I love underrated music
adore this song. 60s garage rock at its finest.
Just stumbled upon this song now! It sounds beautiful✨🖤
Thank algorithm for this masterpiece

Suddenly, TH-cam starts to recommend old songs to me
youtube does this since like 2015 its also recomends alt indie song makers to me with some to no fans
I'm so happy i discovered this song
This song found me.
They knew if they had it on Spotify I’d be playing that all day for the next 12 days
Beautiful song. Thank you for sharing it. ✌💖😊🙏
I loved you Autumns! I wish I could have been better for you and your Brother! Be good !! Be nice!! Be generous!! Be strong!! Be brave!!

this is so wonderful so glad i found it❤❤❤thank you
im slowly fading away
Good insight into a tune that defies convention a little, and is timeless in its way.
It's wild how up until the chorus I could have easily mistaken this for a modern indie track. Really ahead of it's time. Shame this isn't on Spotify.
I’ll be 83 next week.
happy belated! and congratulations! many more to go
any band recommendations for young people into this genre of music? some lesser known ones would be great!

I realized this is the music I love.
I can keep listening to this all day to be honest =))))
I always come back to this song I loveeee
This is how you know your algorithm is blessed… ❤❤
Why this masterpiece is not in spotify
Im very glad Ive found this song on accident
I advised this to many when it was less than 100k, I'm glad that it is gaining fame
