- Where Have All The Flowers Gone? is a folk song written by American singer-songwriter Pete Seeger in 1955. It was originally written as a three verse song and published in the “Sing Out!” magazine. Additional verses were added in May 1960 by Joe Hickerson. It was inducted into the Grammy Hall Of Fame in 2002 in the “folk” category. In 2010 the New Statesman listed it as one of the “Top 20 Political Songs”.
I recorded this as an instrumental track on my first album “The Lincolnshire Poacher” back in 2012. Although I was very pleased with my interpretation of this song in instrumental form, I always had a feeling that I would want to return to it one day to re-record it with a vocal track. The simplicity of the words and the power of the message are such integral parts of the song that I always felt any version without a vocal was incomplete. I hope you like the video that accompanies this song and it helps to deliver Pete Seeger’s important message.
This brings back such sad but great memories of people I've known and loved. Some songs hit you where it really counts.
I agree.
Looking back there have been so many who have passed away. I sometimes wonder as those I once knew, now hiding in the womb of infinity; will I be the last one to remember them…

This song takes me back to my youth, which I sorely miss.
Beautifully sung and exceedingly well done by all who contributed.
Thank you so much for your lovely comments
❤❤😢
What a beautiful and pure soprano voice. It made me cry tears of appreciation. Thank you for sharing your talents
Wow, thank you!
Thank you...periodically, I have listened to this, from Pete's rendition, since 1970. I am 70 now, and realize the magnitude of sadness that prevails globally.
Really glad you liked it. Thank you
69, 70 ,71 I was in Vietnam at 18 grew up to 89!
I am 77 and feel the same way.
I've been to war a lot. Vietnam USMC an USN both. The song is a dream that, noting 6000 years of human history which never changes, will only occur at the coming of The Lord. Nice song especially performed as your singer performs it and such a blessing to dream of how things could be. Seems as though there is always another Hitler or Stalin around the bend. Now Putin! The fact is that the only way to put an end to such a tyrant is to completely destroy him and his entire capability to make war. Only the coming of The Lord will end this vicious cycle. I would like to see him come today.
Prijatelju potakao si me svojim riječima. I ja sam bio pripadnik rata. Znam šta je rat. Inače sam grubijan. Kada vidim djevojčicu i ljepoticu u cvijeću,gotovo mi duža klizne.
As a fellow believer in Christ and US Army Vietnam-era Veteran, I am in total agreement with you. I simply have noted over the years so few believers ever served, had my share who were hostile towards me and my service.
I look forward to Christ’s reign and His return.
Regardless of 'value', regardless of 'expert' opinions; to me art isn't art unless I'm moved by it. A visceral thing ...
This ... moves me.
This is art.
What a lovely thing to say…..thank you.
101%
Too much "vocal gymnastics" for my taste, but to each their own. I'll stick with Peter, Paul, and Mary.
Excellent version, great to hear this song again💐
Thank you so much for your lovely comments.
Humans are crazy if they are going to forget this legendary music eh
I agree.
Made me cry ❤️🥲
🙏🙏💞😭💐💐🙏🙏
well i am very very impressed with this production. the young girl at 1:00 gives me a powerful sensation of that is what soldiers fight and die to protect, their children. I remember well my group of friends at open mic night all paying tribute to this amazing man after his passing. R.I.P. Pete
Thank you for your kind comments.
What an amazing reproduction of this song, I grew up in the Vietnam years, and this song tears me up every time I hear it, especially when I think of the friends I lost during that war. Rest in peace., Pete 🥀🥲

Thank you kindly for your lovely comments.
It brings me back to Vietnam war on TV. This song was playing for those soldiers. Because government was nuts.😢
I wonder: Where have all the birds gone? Governments, still nuts, are beginning to realize that warring is not a solution to economic, medical, social, or environmental problems.
As a Vietnam veteran this song brings back that sadness of war.
I was there , not watching a movie . I feel you have no right to comment on something that you don't know what you are talking about ! I lost too many Brothers in that horrible War! My older blood brother went before me . Please don't comment on what you don't have to clue.about. We would have won this "war " if our wonderful government would have taken our handcuffs off ! Nuff said . !!!!
Nam Vet , Tom
very nice 😀
Video matches up to words. Thank you.
Definitely, what I was aiming for. Thank you for your kind feedback.
Pete Seeger sang in the refrain at the end of the last verse "when will WE ever learn?"
Yes, thank you. I was aware of that, but the young lady that did the vocal for me lives on the other side of the world and I didn’t have the heart to ask her to do the last verse again as we were collaborating online. I hope you liked our version of this wonderful song though and will recommend it to others. Kind regards Alan.
Awesome in all ways
Thank you.
@@ellengowanmediapublications can you name the girl who sings the song. She's really really great at it
Perfect clip 👍😉
Thank you! Cheers!
AI is getting to be so good at creating and improving videos. I am impressed by this example. The only problem is that from now on we will never know what is real and what is AI generated.
I’m glad you are impressed by this video. Created by my own fair hand…..as was the music.
@@ellengowanmediapublications Wow! I wish I knew how to do that. is it difficult?
The last chorus is "When will WE ever learn".
Fair comment!
Should be all verses.
We didicate thissong to all veterans especialy during the viet war my uncle was also assign in vietnam they belong to PHILCAG IN Vietnam
❤by❤And Lots of
L❤ve ForEverybody,Angèla
Thank you Angela.
I enjoyed the video you put with this song. It's the only one on line that tries to interpret the song visually. I am a teacher and will use it as one of the versions to teach my students. One question: who is the female singer. She does a really nice job.
Thank you Charlie for your very kind comments and positive feedback. I was a teacher myself (UK based) prior to my retirement and what you see on TH-cam under my recording name of “Ellengowan Media Publications” is what I do now in my leisure time. I’m really glad you found the video useful as a resource. Please feel free to pass it on to others as nothing I do now has a commercial angle, it is all for the love of music. As regards the singer, all I can say about her is that she is South African and she works as a freelance vocalist through the website “Fiverr”. I did ask her for her name so that I could credit her on the video and on my website but she preferred to remain anonymous.
Kind regards
Alan
I just watched a video last night about the Battle of the Somme. It mentioned how many of the dead are still there, on the battlefield. The same is true of Gettysburg. I suppose it's always been true of war, that those who died are quickly discarded and forgotten. But these great mechanized killing machine wars, and the appalling death and destruction left behind just boggles the mind and sobers the heart and soul of all. Especially if you step out on to these former battlefields. The purity of this song, the simplicity of it's words and meanings just breaks the heart. All God wants for us to do is learn to love one another. That's it. And look how complicated we make life... Thank you for creating this video, reminding us of our duty to each other and drawing from great talent to do so. God bless you all! 😊

THANKS BROUGHT A TEAR😪🤠❤🩹💔❣
Really glad you liked it. Thanks
This version is very pure. Who sings it?
Thank you for your kind comment. The singer is a young lady from South Africa who I have liaised with on-line (as I live in the UK) Her name is Chelsea and that is all I am allowed to reveal as she prefers to remain anonymous. Please pass the TH-cam link on to friends and family. Kind regards Alan
Unfortunately this songs applies to the beginnings to the the of time great tune
Not sure I fully understand your comment but thank you for listening to the music.
I was thinking of Ukraine while listening to this song.
I think of the many innocent Russian civilians in Donbas and throughout Ukraine who have been persecuted for years by the Ukrainian government and the Russian soldiers who have had to die to liberate the innocent. I would add those who lost their lives on a civilian bridge in Crimea because Ukrainian forces exploited the grain corridor wherein Russia permitted safe passage.
🌸ах, Люси, если бы ты исполнила эту песню в одном ролике на 3-х языках -- английском, русском и украинском! я бы помог с переводом

When will they ever learn? VN vet….
Who is the female vocalist in Where Have All The Flowers Gone?
All I can say is that she is a freelance singer from South Africa. She prefers to remain anonymous. Sorry! Hope you liked the music.
Sure did. The whole thing is awesome!@@ellengowanmediapublications
Sure Did!@@ellengowanmediapublications
***OK***
OK!
Why no credit to the singer?
Hi Bob….she’s a freelance singer I worked with on Flower of Scotland and she prefers to work anonymously. I always try to give full credit to any other musicians I work with.
Thanks. If it is her preference, no problem, though she has a stunning voice and is really missing out if she does not let the world know about it. I would just add it is also considered polite to credit the songwriter, though in this case you might find that in some dispute.
If you want I will start a fan page for you on Twitter!
I'm OK, thank you. Just happy producing my music on the quiet.
He put her wedding ring on the wrong hand...lol
That's the final straw! I'm sacking the whole video creation department.......oh...that's me....isn't it! Together with my wife you are the only ones out of 54,000+ viewers to spot that!
Today, wedding rings are most commonly worn on the fourth finger of the left hand. But some countries including India, Germany, Spain, Norway, and Russia traditionally wear their wedding rings on their right hand." Overall, it seems cultural traditions and norms set the standard for this custom.
They won't !
Vietnam Vet , Tom
Maybe if they went they wouldn't be in such a hurry to send us to make this billions with our blood , limbs and life; Have a great life and good sleep for prosperity!
You have such a glorious voice - why would you do such horrible things to the lyrics?
Thank you for your comments. Kind regards Alan
A singer as good as she is usually would normally be trying y have her trying to put their songs and faces in the public eye to further their careers. That's strange behavior but I can understand why she would do this. I shall honor her choice. I guess she just wants no part of all the publicity.
A song for the poor dead in the Ukraine war.
