I've been battling alcoholism for 17 years and I finally decided to get help February 15th of 2023 I have 28 days of sobriety and I can't say I owe it all to this song but by the grace of God I felt a message coming from these words. A message that wanted me to be at peace with myself and the only way to do that was to put down the drink and finally start to live my life as I was destined to. To anyone out there struggling I pray that you find peace and love in your heart. Never give up on yourself. You are worth it. ✌️ ❤️
We saw this movie at the theatre in Atlanta in January 1973. We were blown away by this film. We were young guys, and we decided to go into the wilderness to live like Jeremiah Johnson. We contacted several big game guides near Fort Nelson British Columbia, and arranged to rent horses from them. We spent the next 5 month learning how to ride horses. We bought guns and practiced shooting. We bought panniers, the boxes that you strap onto the pack horse to hold your gear. We did go up to British Columbia that summer, and spent 10 weeks living in the wilderness, riding horses, cooking over the campfire and living like Jeremiah Johnson. We had no guide with us. It was a wild adventure for 3 young suburban Atlanta guys. Fortunately, there were no Crow Indians shooting arrows at us.
This is one of my Dad's favorite movies. He even named me after the main character. To this day it's a tradition on either birthday or Father'a Day for us to watch it together.
Absolutely brother! I just turned 27 and my father showed me this movie when I was just a kid. It's been one of my favorites every since and continues to grow on me more and more the older I get. If or when I have a son, his name is going to be Jeremiah Joseph Johnson. This movie and the ballad of Jeremiah has helped me through so much in life. 🙏
I was working as a packer and outfitter in NW Colorado for a known hunting guide in the early 70's. It was a magnificent way to earn a living, learn the mountain ways, and see some of the best wild country in the world. I had an equestrian upbringing, so horses were a big part of my life up to age 18. 6 years in the Navy was enough, I yearned for the wide open country life. I was so lucky to get the opportunity to live a short 4 years as close to a mountain man's life as I did. This movie is still one of my must see films from time to time. I am 71 now and wish I could go back !
I watched this movie as a kid with my dad and to this day, at the age of 42, I still quote lines to my dad. He loves it when I do. I plan on showing this to my two boys when they're a little older.
Talk about freedom this movie is a great example of freedom.In the days of Jim Bridger and all the mountain men free to roam,hunt and trap without interference from a tyrannical government.The Indians were free to live any way they pleased.I was born in the wrong century.
One of the best. Any true lover of the Old West could watch this movie over and over and never get tired of it, and this music and the singer's voice were ideal for it.
Saw this at the theater when I was 14, turning 66 this year. Enjoy watching this movie for the 100th time as much as i did the first. Memorable soundtrack, when listening can feel so many emotions . Thanks for sharing!!
The actor Tim McIntire both wrote and sang all the ballads in this film. He was the son of the actor John McIntire (Wagon Train) and Jeanette Nolan. He made several films, played Alan Freed in American Hot Wax and was the co-driver of the Ferrari in The Gumball Rally. He acted with Redford in one other film, Brubaker. Sadly, he passed away at only 42 in 1986 but left this haunting ballad as a legacy, a song and a voice which fits so well in this film.
Indeed this film will always be a classic. A true time-honored film that came long before CGI or other electronic foolery. Just an honest to goodness movie about a man who made his home in the mountains. I surely wish they still made movies like this . . .
Indeed. There are several minutes at a time throughout the film with no words spoken, no explosions, no car crashes, no alien ships landing, and no new super-heroes introduced.
My Great Grandfather was a Mountain Man...in the Pacific North West. I wished I could have met this man...he lumbered, fished, hunted, panned for gold, loved his family, occasionally took his older daughters out with him and recounts the time they ran into more than one bear...he was a brave man...knew the wilderness...fearless man...So this movie had great impact on me...and this song is so perfect and has the real feel of the Mountain Man...god bless 'em, They were unique!!!
Maybe I'm a rarity, being a female, but this movie has been one that has stuck with me since my young teen years. It's been one of my favorites for 47 years, one of those rare gems that lets the characters carry the story.

Truly a work of art. Few movies today compare. This movie captures the essence of the west. Now everything is computerized, digitized, and over analyzed. Simplicity is better. Less to think about and straight from your head to your heart.
Love it. Saw it at the theater with my father as a little kid. found it on VHS. Have it on DVD now, and have watched it at least 100 times. Never gets old. Thanks for posting this.
I am eighteen. I have been watching this since I was a little kid. I have always wanted to be a mountain man because of this film, one like Jeremiah. Just got back from hiking Isle Royale and it reminded me of this film. Got to live a very light version of this film, and I loved it!
I saw this movie when it first came out. Hell I just a pup then and my sister and brother in law had a ranch on the Mussleshell where it was that Jeramiah trapped and lived for a spell and my brother in law told me tails of Jeramiah Johnson. that's what peaked my interest in being a Mountain Man even got a replica Hawkins and learned the ways of that life. I'll never forget it.
Jeremiah Johnson made his way into the mountains Bettin’ on forgettin’ all the troubles that he knew The trail was wide and narrow And the eagle or the sparrow Showed the path he was to follow as they flew.

How many of us would love to lose ourselves in this life?! I have a truck, cell phone, iPad...the works. But a part of me would love to give it all up and live in a wilderness where all I have to do all the days of my life is provide for myself.
I don't care how many times I've seen this movie, That scene where he returns to his cabin to find Caleb and Swan killed by the Crow gets me every time.
First saw this movie as a young teen. Reached deep into my soul...still does every time I see it. Nothing can topple this one off the #1 spot of my favorite movie list. I'm not a movie buff, so it has to be really, really special to even make it onto the list.
My parents took me to see this when I was about ten years old at the theater. Truly one of the greatest films made, and they don't make films like this anymore.

I am a Sailor in the Navy, I am almost 29 years old. I have been divorced twice with no kids, every time I have come off the ship both my wives have found other men to be more important. My last wife just left me 4 months ago. I’ve been battling inner demons and thoughts that men deal with silently. I was a good husband to both of them and I didn’t deserve this. I just sold my home, and I am moving into a 5th wheel full time. Today is my day. I stopped playing Nutshell by Alice In Chains, today I listen to this from now on.
You are 29 my man, everything will be good. If those women went to other men... then it wasn't a good thing from the start, its not yours. What's your's is your's and what should be yours will be kept for you. Good luck from IL. sry for bad english.
I know I wouldn't last a week living like Jeremiah Johnson, but every time I hear this song I just want to load up my old .50 caliber caplock, take some extra powder, shot, caps, and my tomahawk and go up into the mountains to experience all of what it has to offer.
This is my favorite movie. Being somewhat of a Mountain Man, I can relate to a lot of this story. The Mountains of Idaho can be a lonely place but that is good. The Native Americans are no longer there but much of the other stuff is. I love the mountains and the solitary life style. Jeremiah Johnson is a story that depicts that kind of life style and Jim Bridger lived the same style. Mountain Men were a great part of the nations history.
My old man showed me this movie when I was younger, I'm 24 now still one of my favorites, he's still around, but I have the feeling I'll remember this movie when he's not, love you dad.
this movie speaks to the spirit of America why we have fought bled died and taught our kids to do the same. freedom for them that understands it is the only real thing we care about. freedom to go our own way no matter the talk or push back the freedom to be our self. in today's world all we hear is what we can't do when it ain't in the American vocabulary. so dream big " know where your going ,remember where you been" " the day you tally is the day you lose" " breath deep , live free"
I just saw this movie for the first time and it's already one of favorites. The acting, the way the story unfolds, and the fact that you don't know much about Jeremiah makes it feel very real. love it
ware it worth the trouble? ah....what trouble....... when this movie came out I saw it 7 times, I've always thought of that quote when I think about my life..now my wife and I homestead up on a mountain in nova scotia, winter stays a long time up this high, but we have 3 horses, the pinto is mine to ride along with some purebred suffolk sheep....by the end of this year, life really will have been worth the trouble! this is probably the finest movie of its type ever made...thanks Mr Johns0n1 for a great job of presenting the haunting music that made this movie so special
hell yes sir. it must feel even better to know that you are living my dream. Have a good life sir and forever keep that wit, and adventerous spirit, suited for the mountains. ;)
So much nostalgia from when i watched this with my dad so long ago. I do believe this made me proud to be and become a real man. It will be a tradition, this film. For my kin and thereafter. Thank you, Jeremiah Johnson.
the combination of the amazing music and the dramatic huge scenery and the way the actors performed it was such an enthralling, nostalgic movie when I first saw it as a kid. The way McIntire accentuated certain words with the particular notes made it all the more dramatic and emotional. the little interludes of instruments was just perfect. always stuck in my mind and spirit whenever I hear this. I just rediscovered it again when my dad was watching the movie couple days ago and I had to stop what I was doing and watch the rest of it. beautiful soundtrack
One my favorite 'lighter' scenes was when Jeremiah woke in the night on fire. "Saw it right off." Will Gear was deadpan brilliant. My son and I still joke about that scene. "An Elk don't know how many feet a horse have!" Just a lot of fun between some very poignant drama.
Thelastminstrel Would you believe Sidney Pollack the director thought about having Jeremiah Johnson just freeze to death for the ending? Redford said no, have it end with....."and some say he's up there still." Source: Heard this from the guy who talks at the end of Turner Classic Movies.
Absolutely love this movie. My dad showed me this back in the day. Funny enough, he lives up in the trees away from people and I believe it's where I'll be headed. I don't have much use for this life anymore.
What in the world is wrong with the people who disliked this video? You've got to be kidding me. I've got this downloaded as an mp3 and could listen to it for hours.
My wife and I have traveled from Ohio to Utah for our vacation 7 or 8 times since 1983. In the 80’s we played a cassette of this song as we drove through Zion NP and used my Pentax 35mm camera and Kadachrome film. Then it was CDs and a digital camera, then iPod and the last few trips, my iPhone provided the music, the photos and the videos. Although the technology has changed in ways we couldn’t even imagine, if the Crow, the Flatheads and Jeremiah could see it today, they’d feel right at home
I saw this Movie when i was a little boy.. granted im only 15 now but its always been my father and I's favorite. some kids say "Superman" or "Brett Favre" is there hero... when I was little my hero was Jeremiah Johnson. and still is today. He's a hell of a man.
great movie a great cast and an awsome soundtrack. I have movie on dvd and have the soundtrack on vinyl from years ago but now the complete soundtrack on cd,love music and the movie.one of the best.
I Love this awesome movie & ballad.. Jeremiah Johnson made his way into the mountains Bettin' on forgettin' all the troubles that he knew The trail was wide and narrow The eagle or the sparrow Showed the path he was to follow as it flew. A mountain man's a lonely man And he leaves a life behind It ought to have been different, but you often times will find That the story doesn't always go the way you had in mind. Jeremiah's story was that kind. . . Jeremiah's story was that kind.
"Ain't nothin' wrong with quiet"....that movie propelled a Jewish kid from NJ to seek and finally find his place in the PNW and I've never regretted it............
I had the same experience, it completely changed my life. Left Chi and never looked back. I took a backpacking trip to the Beartooth Wilderness shortly after seeing it, and then moved to Colorado as fast as I could get there. My family thought I was nuts.
"You wouldn't happen to know what month of the year it is?" with a concerned look he replies, "why no, I truly wouldn't...." great scene... the old dog was fond of old Jeremiah....
Dennis Graham for me i interpreted the fair wind blowing as peace of mind. We all carry burdens and sadness with us and some spend their entire lives trying to find that fair wind to no avail. We all strive to find happiness and peace of mind
I don't care for westerns at all. My grandfather watched nothing but and exposed me to them when I was younger and I just couldn't get immersed. My dad got this for a dollar in a value bin and we watched it that night. This movie stole my heart and made me feel at home. Earlier this year my grandfather passed away but I'd like to think the way I feel while watching this story is how he felt with each and every western he owned. I've been to a town...
One thing i love are classics like this, Caddyshack, Bad News Bears, Gilligans Island, True Grit (john wayne), Blazzing Saddles, Spaceballs, qnd other beauties like that
I love this movie. We were living in Green River Wyoming when they filmed it south of us in the Uintas, in Utah. Fabulous scenery. I know it was hard to film. Very cold and lots of snow. Easy for us to watch in our warm home and easy chair.
Just a little FYI, the singer of this song is Tim Mcintyre, one of the most underrated actors of the 70's, most notable for playing Alan Freed in the movie American Hot Wax opposite Jay Leno. Great movies..
It is not often that a movie, lifts you from despair and gives your life a meaning and hope by simply explaining the very intricate aspects of human existence, this is proof that for a brief and shinning time man existed as he was meant to exist, with the fragility and briefness of life that force you to realize that every breath is a marvel, every challenge an adventure and your sweat and determination are the most valuable currency. He is still up there and he lives every time someone dares, every time the unknown is faced Jeremiah and the men like him rejoice. No matter what you are ever told remember it was heart and balls that made the world a better place, and it is the only thing that can save it.
@@melindalemmon2149 Very True but it helps if they are men to begin with, not the malformed confused over mothered sissies that walk around today. Leviticus 20-13
The last time i watched this movie was with my grandfather. I cant watch it anymore, i dont want to lose that memory with him. But this song really helps
I've been battling alcoholism for 17 years and I finally decided to get help February 15th of 2023 I have 28 days of sobriety and I can't say I owe it all to this song but by the grace of God I felt a message coming from these words.

Good work. I wish I could do it!
We saw this movie at the theatre in Atlanta in January 1973. We were blown away by this film. We were young guys, and we decided to go into the wilderness to live like Jeremiah Johnson.
We contacted several big game guides near Fort Nelson British Columbia, and arranged to rent horses from them.
We spent the next 5 month learning how to ride horses. We bought guns and practiced shooting. We bought panniers, the boxes that you strap onto the pack horse to hold your gear.
We did go up to British Columbia that summer, and spent 10 weeks living in the wilderness, riding horses, cooking over the campfire and living like Jeremiah Johnson. We had no guide with us. It was a wild adventure for 3 young suburban Atlanta guys.

It really sounds like his voice

Jeremiah Johnson made his way into the mountains
Bettin’ on forgettin’ all the troubles that he knew
The trail was wide and narrow
And the eagle or the sparrow
Showed the path he was to follow as they flew.
A mountain man’s a lonely man
And he leaves a life behind
It ought to have been different, but oftimes you will find,
That the story doesn’t always go that way you had in mind.
Jeremiah’s story was that kind. . .

An Indian says you search in vain for what you cannot find.

This is my favorite movie. Being somewhat of a Mountain Man, I can relate to a lot of this story. The Mountains of Idaho can be a lonely place but that is good. The Native Americans are no longer there but much of the other stuff is. I love the mountains and the solitary life style. Jeremiah Johnson is a story that depicts that kind of life style and Jim Bridger lived the same style. Mountain Men were a great part of the nations history.
My old man showed me this movie when I was younger, I'm 24 now still one of my favorites, he's still around, but I have the feeling I'll remember this movie when he's not, love you dad.
this movie speaks to the spirit of America why we have fought bled died and taught our kids to do the same. freedom for them that understands it is the only real thing we care about. freedom to go our own way no matter the talk or push back the freedom to be our self. in today's world all we hear is what we can't do when it ain't in the American vocabulary. so dream big " know where your going ,remember where you been" " the day you tally is the day you lose" " breath deep , live free"
Having lived in Helena for 3 years, I know about cold...and learned about Basketball.
and standing up in the face of adversity.
Well said
I just saw this movie for the first time and it's already one of favorites. The acting, the way the story unfolds, and the fact that you don't know much about Jeremiah makes it feel very real. love it
ware it worth the trouble? ah....what trouble....... when this movie came out I saw it 7 times, I've always thought of that quote when I think about my life..now my wife and I homestead up on a mountain in nova scotia, winter stays a long time up this high, but we have 3 horses, the pinto is mine to ride along with some purebred suffolk sheep....by the end of this year, life really will have been worth the trouble! this is probably the finest movie of its type ever made...thanks Mr Johns0n1 for a great job of presenting the haunting music that made this movie so special
hell yes sir. it must feel even better to know that you are living my dream. Have a good life sir and forever keep that wit, and adventerous spirit, suited for the mountains. ;)
A song that touches the deeper strings ofmy soul.. Always when I listen to it I share a tear
So much nostalgia from when i watched this with my dad so long ago. I do believe this made me proud to be and become a real man. It will be a tradition, this film. For my kin and thereafter. Thank you, Jeremiah Johnson.
the combination of the amazing music and the dramatic huge scenery and the way the actors performed it was such an enthralling, nostalgic movie when I first saw it as a kid.
The way McIntire accentuated certain words with the particular notes made it all the more dramatic and emotional. the little interludes of instruments was just perfect. always stuck in my mind and spirit whenever I hear this. I just rediscovered it again when my dad was watching the movie couple days ago and I had to stop what I was doing and watch the rest of it. beautiful soundtrack
Absolutely loved the movie and thoroughly enjoyed hearing this song. Great, great piece of work.
The only film that is acceptable to cry while watching
I saw this at the theater with my mom. Not only is it one of the best films ever made it also gives me warm memories of my mom! Love ya mama!!
One my favorite 'lighter' scenes was when Jeremiah woke in the night on fire.
"Saw it right off." Will Gear was deadpan brilliant. My son and I still joke about that scene.
"An Elk don't know how many feet a horse have!"
Just a lot of fun between some very poignant drama.
"A woman's heart is the hardest rock the all mighty ever made, and I can find no sign on it." Love this movie.
Breast.
My favorite was on his wedding night when he pulled back the blanket on his new Indian bride and just said "LORD".
Didnt put enough dirt down
I watch this film with my dad growing up it's his fave I'm 26 now but damn what a movie
Seen this thing till I'm tired of it, but I cannot turn it off.
Watch it through just to hear the ending.
"He's up there still"
Amen brother.
I´m sure about it
Thelastminstrel Would you believe Sidney Pollack the director thought about having Jeremiah Johnson just freeze to death for the ending? Redford said no, have it end with....."and some say he's up there still." Source: Heard this from the guy who talks at the end of Turner Classic Movies.
Actually, "Some folks say he's up there still."
"Pilgrim! Are you sure you can skin Griz?" "Just as fast as you catch them." "Jesus!!!!!"
Absolutely love this movie.
My dad showed me this back in the day.
Funny enough, he lives up in the trees away from people and I believe it's where I'll be headed.
I don't have much use for this life anymore.
What in the world is wrong with the people who disliked this video? You've got to be kidding me. I've got this downloaded as an mp3 and could listen to it for hours.
Im a fifth generation mountain man in Montana's northern rocky mountain's this song is the definition of a mountain man hell of a song
This is one of those rare movies one can watch very often and it always feels fresh. Others are One-eyed Jacks, and Junior Bonner.
This and the mountain man were my fave movies to watch with my dad..he passed away 9 days ago...I cry when I hear it
Heroes are remembered but legends never die
My wife and I have traveled from Ohio to Utah for our vacation 7 or 8 times since 1983. In the 80’s we played a cassette of this song as we drove through Zion NP and used my Pentax 35mm camera and Kadachrome film. Then it was CDs and a digital camera, then iPod and the last few trips, my iPhone provided the music, the photos and the videos. Although the technology has changed in ways we couldn’t even imagine, if the Crow, the Flatheads and Jeremiah could see it today, they’d feel right at home
Thank you for sharing this, I agree it's one of the most beautiful songs ever written and can bring me to tears almost instantly!
yeah absolutely!
"you've done well to keep so much hair when so manys after it"
Looking back I realize that seeing this movie truly changed my outlook on life.
"this side of the horse, pilgrim"
"he'll see me"
"elk dont know how many feet a horse has"
i mighta boogered that up a bit, but i loved it!!!
"What if he sees our feet?"
Saw this movie when it came out..I was about 14...don't remember much except for this song, but just found it on dvd
I saw this Movie when i was a little boy.. granted im only 15 now but its always been my father and I's favorite. some kids say "Superman" or "Brett Favre" is there hero... when I was little my hero was Jeremiah Johnson. and still is today. He's a hell of a man.
It runs along the path of my life an reaches deep within me.
One of my favorite movies.
great movie a great cast and an awsome soundtrack. I have movie on dvd and have the soundtrack on vinyl from years ago but now the complete soundtrack on cd,love music and the movie.one of the best.
A good movie and an excellent song !
I'll never forget the first time I saw Jeremiahs Johnson
Bearclaw: “You’ve come far, pilgrim...”
Jeremiah: “Feels like far...”
Best movie and song ever !!!
BearClaw: were it worth the trouble
Jeremiah: ahhh, what trouble
The most perfect music score in the history of film.
Saw it with my father when I was a kid. One of my favored movies.
I Love this awesome movie & ballad..
Jeremiah Johnson made his way into the mountains
Bettin' on forgettin' all the troubles that he knew
The trail was wide and narrow
The eagle or the sparrow
Showed the path he was to follow as it flew.
A mountain man's a lonely man
And he leaves a life behind
It ought to have been different, but you often times will find
That the story doesn't always go the way you had in mind.
Jeremiah's story was that kind. . .
Jeremiah's story was that kind.
"Ain't nothin' wrong with quiet"....that movie propelled a Jewish kid from NJ to seek and finally find his place in the PNW and I've never regretted it............
Dont know why people in the flats are eatin hog..when they could be eatin elk!
I had the same experience, it completely changed my life. Left Chi and never looked back. I took a backpacking trip to the Beartooth Wilderness shortly after seeing it, and then moved to Colorado as fast as I could get there. My family thought I was nuts.
"You turn down this gift, and they'll slit you, me, Caleb and the horses from crotch to eyeball with a dull deer antler!"
He said shes called The Swan, but she'll answer anything you want. But maybe you need her.
Me too.. Im 53 and come from a long line of Mountain Men.. May I suggest "the Mountain Men" with Charlton Heston and Brian Keith.
Thats a good.movie too. Not as heard of as Jeremiah. But mountain men is also a classic
Great movie. Great song. Makes me want to run off to the wild west country of New Mexico and live along the Great Divide....
"You wouldn't happen to know what month of the year it is?" with a concerned look he replies, "why no, I truly wouldn't...." great scene... the old dog was fond of old Jeremiah....
Sunshine or Thunder
A man will always wonder
Where the fair wind blows...
That's me. Always looking for a fair wind to blow my way.
Dennis Graham for me i interpreted the fair wind blowing as peace of mind. We all carry burdens and sadness with us and some spend their entire lives trying to find that fair wind to no avail. We all strive to find happiness and peace of mind
I don't care for westerns at all. My grandfather watched nothing but and exposed me to them when I was younger and I just couldn't get immersed.
My dad got this for a dollar in a value bin and we watched it that night. This movie stole my heart and made me feel at home. Earlier this year my grandfather passed away but I'd like to think the way I feel while watching this story is how he felt with each and every western he owned. I've been to a town...
One of the best western movies ever :)
As is Jeremiah Johnson, Tim McIntire' voice is immortal.
damn right its the best movie ever made
Agree
Full of ugly vengeance by indians and Jeremiah himself. Typical John Milius tough living / hard dying pathos.
I agree. I have it on VHS and have watched it at least 6 times. Love that movie.
Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid was pretty good, to.
One thing i love are classics like this, Caddyshack, Bad News Bears, Gilligans Island, True Grit (john wayne), Blazzing Saddles, Spaceballs, qnd other beauties like that
Just love Tim McIntire's soundtrack for one of the best all time movies.
A real pity that he died so young.
I love this movie. We were living in Green River Wyoming when they filmed it south of us in the Uintas, in Utah. Fabulous scenery. I know it was hard to film. Very cold and lots of snow. Easy for us to watch in our warm home and easy chair.
"are you alright there?"...."sure, sure, I got a fine horse under me"
Anda feathers in my nose
Just a little FYI, the singer of this song is Tim Mcintyre, one of the most underrated actors of the 70's, most notable for playing Alan Freed in the movie American Hot Wax opposite Jay Leno. Great movies..
It is not often that a movie, lifts you from despair and gives your life a meaning and hope by simply explaining the very intricate aspects of human existence, this is proof that for a brief and shinning time man existed as he was meant to exist, with the fragility and briefness of life that force you to realize that every breath is a marvel, every challenge an adventure and your sweat and determination are the most valuable currency. He is still up there and he lives every time someone dares, every time the unknown is faced Jeremiah and the men like him rejoice. No matter what you are ever told remember it was heart and balls that made the world a better place, and it is the only thing that can save it.
Christ Jesus is the only Savior of men.
And will remake this old world.
@@melindalemmon2149 Very True but it helps if they are men to begin with, not the malformed confused over mothered sissies that walk around today. Leviticus 20-13
The last time i watched this movie was with my grandfather. I cant watch it anymore, i dont want to lose that memory with him. But this song really helps
Jeremiah's story was that kind.
"You can't cheat the mountains, pilgrim, the mountains have their ways"
