Eerily prophetic, heard this as a kid, now I'm saying those were the days and I can't believe I did that!
This was an oldie from my youth that I gravitated towards back then, but then never heard it again until decades later and nothing but goosebumps up and down. She has that beautifully haunting voice that just fits with the melody.
We used to sing along with this song, and 50 years later it holds more meaning than ever.
Heh. When I was a kid I thought this was a pop song derived from the musical "Fiddler on the Roof". But looking it up just now I see that it was a Russian pop song from the 1920's with English lyrics added in the sixties. Paul McCartney produced this single for Mary Hopkin. They recorded versions in English, French, German, Italian and Spanish -- but not Russian. I guess they figured the Kremlin would ban the song anyway.
Mary was a modern day Chanteusse
Wow…… I haven’t heard this track since the early 70’s ! As a youngish version of me , I used to love this song ❤️ wow…..what a flashback 🥰
Discovered and produced by Paul McCartney on the Beatles Apple label. Came out at the same time as Hey Jude. Massive hit in 1968 basically looking back at post World War 1.....1918-ish..... which explains the old times sound design.
Mary Hopkin is a Welsh singer songwriter best known for her 1968 hit "Those Were The Days". That song was produced by Paul McCartney. She was one of the first artists to be signed to The Beatles' "Apple" label. Another hit for her was "Goodbye" which was written by Paul McCartney.
Huge hit in the Netherlands when it came out.
Love it,beautiful song and beautiful voice.
Nice lady too 😅
Thanks man, nice one.
👊😁👍
I've always loved this song. Her voice is beautiful, with a very distinctive timbre, and the Klezmer-style arrangement is very unusual. Fun fact: Mary Hopkin married Tony Visconti, the producer of many of David Bowie's greatest albums; and it's her voice you can hear on backing vocals on Sound And Vision.
Oh Lord, the drill team I was one used this song for competitions, for a year. I swore I would never listen to it again.
Listening to it now brings back happy memories Thanks!
always fun when you sing harmony.~~~~
Oh my! I used to love this song!!!❤❤❤
Mary is still recording today and has released some amazing music

They got to Gotta hook up a wide screen for that now
An oldie but a goodie 🇦🇺
One of my favorite reactions ever!
One of my favorite songs that I sing all the time. ❤
After her solo career she married Tony Visconti, collaborator of David Bowie, and producer of some of his major works. Mary Hopkin contributed backing vocals to some of Bowie’s major hit albums.
That's new. Didn't know that. She had a sweet voice. She was 17 when she recorded that. Song
it's hard to believe i was just 8 yrs. old when this song was released. now at 62 the chorus brings me to tears thinking about all the time behind me and the precious little time i have ahead of me. most of my friends are gone as well as a lot of family members, and i sit here and wonder what life is all about.
One of my favorite songs of all times!
Mary Hopkin was a Welsh singer, Sir McCarney suggested and produced this song for her, from an old Russian song.
Those were the days when we were young, strong and beautiful
Another one that takes its tune from a Russian folk song is The Carnival Is Over by the Australian group The Seekers, one of their biggest hits.
You gotta love it I love it shade loves we love it
I think this was derived from old Eastern European Jewish song, it certainly has that feel and sound. Melancholy at its finest
Nope. Russian bar drinking song.
@@36karpatoruski Russia not Eastern Europe then? The western part where 99% of the population live certainly is
I've loved this song since I was a little kid in the early 70's and still do
Great song! Thanks!
Produced by Sir Paul McCartney, and he discovered Mary, enough said. She became an instant hit after this song. I don't know any other song by her though
There was another one, called Goodbye!
An old Russian folk song (in english)... very catchy tune
I was driving the other day and this gem came on Sirius XM Deep Cuts channel and I instantly fell in love with it. I MAY have heard it before, but so glad I discovered it anew. And here you are, doing the same!
Her name is Mary Hopkin.
WOW, forgot all about this song. Sounds like a polka, german/polish/Russian. Reminds me of Oktober festival.
You gotta love it I love she loves it and why love
It's a little bit country, but it's got some smooth. It's smooth. It's got smooth saying and a video I got a video of it. It's good
Mary does a really nice cover of the Ralph McTell song "Streets of London". Very sad song.
The refrain is one of those ridiculously catchy tunes that just tends to get stuck in your head
Oh Bizzyboy. Heard you singing along there. Hmmmm….Keep up the reactions, OK? 🫢
Song from the days when AM radio ruled the airwaves.
The tune is an old Russian tune but the sentiments are for the youth of yesterday.
Just watched this reaction to Mary Hopkin and the one you did for Dan Vasc. Checked out what else is in your video reaction stash. Have subbed!
I liked this
Wow, I remember this from my childhood. It's a great old song with that "Jewish" theme of a wedding or something. It's just sooooo, I don't know, But everyone seems to like it.
She has a high vibrato like Snow White.
What's so funny about this is that, when this first came out, when i was a kid, i was "too cool" to admit to liking it, and now, 50-odd years later, I'm singing along, remembering all the lyrics. If i have one piece of advice to youngsters today, it's go with a bit of music you like and don't give a damn what your "cooler" friends think. Just be true to yourself. In the long run, they'll end up agreeing with you.
There’s an excellent video of her singing this live you should checkout. Song always reminds me of my time living at a Gasthaus while stationed in Germany while in the USAF. Cheers
☮️💙💙💙🔥🔥I remember!
I like the Robert Goulet version. too.
I think I remember hearing a verse in French when I was a kid.
She first came out on “. Opportunity Knocks “ with Hughie Green. The Beatles heard her and helped her in her career
one hit wonder. it was a McCartney tune. you can kind of tell. don't know what happened to her after this. loved it back then. the thing about the 60's is that the musicians were braver. they were wiling to try new things and go into different generes.the top could be a mixture. like southern rock, folk, some blues, rnb etc. now it's kind of formula crap. ya'll gotta be like this one or that one. who's the new goddess this year. i'll take aretha over ANY female singer today.or Rondstadt EARLY years is darned special too. you get my point.,right? nuff said.
This song sent me down a Russian music rabbit hole.
Weird Al did a song with a similar title called Good Old Days. Like this, it's a masterpiece. Seriously.
I remember this lovely song from my youth. Sweet song and Mary's voice is similar to Snow White's - LOL. I don't know if she was a one hit wonder, but I can't recall any other songs.
She followed this one up with another big hit called "Goodbye".
... and after Goodbye, there was Temma Harbour and Knock knock who's there, think about your children and 2 great albums
Absinthe
Was a big hit in 68 but I never cared for the song. I believe it got much airplay due to the fact she was affiliated with the Beatles.
I consider western Russia part of Eastern Europe. Russians are eastern European, but not all eastern Europeans are Russian, hence the clarification. Similarly, not even all eastern Europeans are even Slavic, nor are all eastern Slavic Europeans are Russian. Get your facts straight. The song is not of Jewish origin.
