My 4-year-old daughter was playing blocks on the floor when I played this song. She suddenly raised her head and said to me: Mom, it’s such a beautiful song.
This song is my father's favorite to sing when he was still alive. every time i hear this i used to cry because i miss him so much.! sorry i am quite emotional.
As mentioned in his live video of 'Vincent', I believe that in addition to being a great song writer, this guy plays with such feeling. He is a very under rated guitar player.
I miss my Dad because of this song. Don McClean is 1 of my Dad's cassette tape collection while I was growing up. & I became a fan of Classic Rock & Folk Rock. ✌
Thank you so much for posting this beautiful song. Don never really got credit for his immense talent, so much of it was eclipsed by American Pie. And yes, I know how lonely life can be.
WEll this is great, I was in a farm market today buying produce and this song came on which I haven't heard in decades and I almost burst into tears. Now I am home, I am crying.
A beautiful rendition. I felt an emotional experience of tremendous healing. My favorite too. Thank you --- You Tube for carrying it, and thank you to the person who uploaded it.
Ive seen A LOT of songwriters perform. But if I had to choose just one guy to listen to in this genre, I 'd have to choose McLean. The voice, the lyrics, his timing, the guitar sound framing his lilting vibrato...I just dont think anyone does it better. If you see better folk performances that this, please tell me so I can watch them.
And I love you so The people ask me how How I've lived till now I tell them I don't know I guess they understand How lonely life has been But life began again The day you took my hand And yes, I know how lonely life can be The shadows follow me And the night won't set me free But I don't let the evening get me down Now that you're around me And you love me too Your thoughts are just for me You set my spirit free I'm happy that you do The book of life is brief And once a page is read All but love is dead That is my belief And yes, I know how loveless life can be The shadows follow me And the night won't set me free But I don't let the evening get me down Now that you're around me And I love you so The people ask me how How I've lived till now I tell them I don't know
Susan, I fully understand... This was my Mum's favourite song and it has the same effect on me.. Dont be sorry for being emotional, its a natural feeling.
And I Love You So And I love you so, The people ask me how, How I've lived till now I tell them I don't know I guess they understand How lonely life has been But life began again The day you took my hand And yes I know how lonely life can be Shadows follow me The night won't set me free But I don't let the evening get me down Now that you're around me And you love me too Your thoughts are just for me You set my spirit free I'm happy that you do The book of life is brief Once the page is read All but love is dead This is my belief
+Diana Campanella This performance was some time after American Pie. Back then, in the 70's, he had longer hair, lots of curls! :) Met him twice. Such a sweetheart.
Esta é uma das musicas preferidas da minha saudosa irmã Michelle Hassibe que mora no Canadá há muitos anos.Saudades de você,minha irmã.Que Deus te proteja...sempre.

This is one of the most beautiful, moving songs in the world. Thank you for posting.

Don is so much more than American Pie . I miss hearing his songs daily
No one does this like Don . No One
What a master. Every one of his pieces burns itself into my soul.
This guy can "feel" life and pass it on to others! Amazing talent and this song touches deep.
Jc
Most beautiful song I have ever heard
Your damn right, and if he never wrote another song after this, it's still one of the most beautiful ,romantic songs ever written!
I miss my Dad because of this song. Don McClean is 1 of my Dad's cassette tape collection while I was growing up. & I became a fan of Classic Rock & Folk Rock. ✌
So beautiful one can never hear this song too much or too often because it is so lovely and touching and very emotional
This one completely mesmerizes me every time...one of the most beautiful love songs ever written...
Beautiful song of my favorite don McLean. How I wisjh we still heard like this kind of music now
Thank you so much for posting this beautiful song. Don never really got credit for his immense talent, so much of it was eclipsed by American Pie. And yes, I know how lonely life can be.
He deeply enjoys singing is the main thing. I love his guitar and beautiful voice.
We have seen him tonight in Israel.He sang this song and many others. We love him !
WEll this is great, I was in a farm market today buying produce and this song came on which I haven't heard in decades and I almost burst into tears. Now I am home, I am crying.
+Princess Pancake Very moving song that touches one's heart. Just like your comment touched me. Sweet.
The song evokes the deepest emotions....ready eyes for sure. Great song, great performer.
what a singer, songwriter , performer, " CLASS ACT "
This is a beautiful song. I heard once that until you can LIVE lone you might not be good with others...In the dark of the night the answers come.....
Houston TX...1981....Rockefellers....Great concert from Don....BOOYA!
The song is so slow, I can imagine it dying in anyone else's hands, but with Don it's excellent! Thanks for posting.
Kutta Kyte Listen to Perry Como and Elvis Presley versions of the same!
The prettiest love song ever.

Don McLean or Perry Como do this song justice.
And I love you so
The people ask me how
How I've lived till now
I tell them I don't know
I guess they understand
How lonely life has been
But life began again
The day you took my hand
And yes, I know how lonely life can be
The shadows follow me
And the night won't set me free
But I don't let the evening get me down
Now that you're around me
And you love me too
Your thoughts are just for me
You set my spirit free
I'm happy that you do
The book of life is brief
And once a page is read
All but love is dead
That is my belief
And yes, I know how loveless life can be
The shadows follow me
And the night won't set me free
But I don't let the evening get me down
Now that you're around me
And I love you so
The people ask me how
How I've lived till now
I tell them I don't know
Thank you for the effort of writing down the lyrics . I wish I know them 20 years ago (or more ...) . Anyway , I salute you for your good thoughts !
This is superb stuff his voice is really fantastic, love the Vibrato ....
beautiful words:they make me dream.
A beautiful song and a great rendition...he nailed it.
Yes , he nailed it. He also wrote it.
love this one well all his music is lovely
This one says it all! GREAT SONG !!!!
And I miss her so...
Susan, I fully understand... This was my Mum's favourite song and it has the same effect on me.. Dont be sorry for being emotional, its a natural feeling.
And I Love You So
And I love you so,
The people ask me how,
How I've lived till now
I tell them I don't know

The day you took my hand
And yes I know how lonely life can be
Shadows follow me
The night won't set me free
But I don't let the evening get me down
Now that you're around me
And you love me too
Your thoughts are just for me
You set my spirit free
I'm happy that you do
The book of life is brief
Once the page is read
All but love is dead
This is my belief
McLean is a great storyteller.
A True Talent.
one of my all time favourite songs x
So that is what Don Mclean looked like! Thanks for posting! It takes me a while to get acquainted with all the artists from my youth.
+Diana Campanella This performance was some time after American Pie. Back then, in the 70's, he had longer hair, lots of curls! :) Met him twice. Such a sweetheart.

You're a luck one. Thanks for sharing. I didn't watch enough TV, I guess. I don't know many artists by sight.

to Kay yes I know how lonely life can be
one of my favourite singers. do you have the studio versions of 'bronco bill's lament' and 'on the amazon'? Please upload. Thanks.
Does he still do concerts?
Where's this concert?
looks older
IDK
I'm not a huge fan of the way he slurs a bit at the end of most of the phrases, but besides that, it's still a beautiful song.
I like to listen to this song and remember my wife, but this version is tooooo sloooow.
a little out of tune here ... not his best night for singing
Butchering his own song ..
Susan, I fully understand... This was my Mum's favourite song and it has the same effect on me.. Dont be sorry for being emotional, its a natural feeling
