My grandmother used to sing this song to me I would give to have her sing it to me again my grandmother died when I was 12 and now am 41and I still miss her
Before my dad passed away, I remember him in his favorite chair listing to all kinds of music on his radio, BUT once this song came on, it was floor toe tapping and hand slapping on the arm chair. I remember how much he loved this song. Rest in peace dad....this song is for you always.
My Dad passed away January 20, 2023. He had a love for music that he passed down to my two brothers and myself. He loved this song and loved listening to Anne Murray. This piece is absolutely beautiful!❤️
One of my Dad's favorites from the 70's. We played this at his funeral on July 15, 2014. He was 85, family man and father to 12 children w/3 sets of twins. He died peacefully. Fly away!!
Wow...I was just listening to this because I was starting a list of the things to do before/during/after my mother's funeral...she hasn't passed away yet, she is 92 but it is inevitable...I was thinking of having a singer do a few songs at the funeral and this was her favorite when I was a child...now that I know its an acceptable tribute I am definite on it...thanks for sharing about your Dad...PS I am a twin too
My mother was a single parent. As a young boy. I grew up listening to all types of music and shows. Anna Murray was one of her favorite singers. Hee Haw was another show my mom and I enjoyed watching. Along with the Lawrence Welch show. The good old days.
My mom would play this constantly when she did the dishes and I would have to dry them off. Amazing that I just came across this song today and it instantly takes me back to that specific point of time 30+ years ago. What a gem
I didn’t come here because of family guy my moms favorite song was snowbird and today 9/17 would have been her 91 birthday I lost her 10/28/1986 but because of pulling into the cemetery for the funeral a flock of snow birds flew right infront of us and I’ve always known her song R I H P MOM I MISS YOU BADLY
That made me cry. I lost mom to dementia 4 years ago. No way for the Invisible Man to treat a woman who sang in the chior for 70 years. Mom was always singing, I hope you have recovered from your loss I'm still depressed and angry. Too soon I guess.
Another song much in the same vein is "Gentle On My Mind" - written by John Hartford but probably made more famous by Glen Campbell. Nice that we still have all those really good songs of the 60's and 70's recorded for the future. I always wish I could go back and relive those decades again - if only for the never ending streams of that type of music that seemed to be everywhere - like a soundtrack to our lives.
This is an amazing song, I just watched the episode of family guy and even in the show it sounded amazing. Thank you for all of your beautiful music and I hope you make a long lasting impression on the world. You are a wonderfully perfect human Ann. 🥰
The hippie in me loves this song. Respect to Family Guy for the recognition and love to my mother because she's the reason I know the song to begin with.
I thank Seth MacFarlane for bringing this song into the new generation, showing us what we have missed out on. I am 16 years, gonna be 17 in January, and I now love this song. Thank you, Anne Murray.
If you want a worthless comment- Anne Murray was thought to be gay for years. But she was not. Her crowd thought other wise. I have heard her talk about that many, many times. I think when she first started , she walked like a man, and that had something to do with it. I always admired her voice, and music. She was great. I never worried about what she was, or was not.
Nothing wrong with Family Guy. I guess if certain shows helps people discover old gems, why not?:) I have watched a few episodes of Family Guy and enjoyed it.
This was a song my dad and sister would always sing together. After he passed away, my sister and her family turned off their phones and began to say their nightly prayer. While they were praying this song came blaring through my sister phone! The phone she had just turned off only moments prior. Sent chills down their spines!
I truly believe that our loved ones in Heaven can see what is going on with us while they wait for us to get there and be with them once again. I heard my own mother talk to me a few days after she passed away and she called me by a name I hadn’t heard in over 50 years. She called me Girly Girl and she sounded so young! That kept up for about a year and then she stopped. I believe God truly does know what we need.
I had experiences like that in my life and it means that the person who passed away is in peace and it wants to let you know to be in peace too. My cousin also who was my best friend, passed away. I was sad for many months, one day while I'm driving back home, I was thinking of him, suddenly a song started to play on the radio, it was the song about a friend to his friend, telling him that if he needs him he always be there" and at the same time tells you to be calm. At the moment I started to cry and my sadness went away!! Today I still miss him, but I'm not sad anymore. I remember him with joy.
I just love Anne Murrys voice and shes so beautiful. I was a kid 7 years old and I loved this song, got her album played day and night till I knew every song. Still to this day Im 55 and I get choked up hearing this beautiful song.
i am here to listen to this song because it was one of if not my mom's favorite song. she used to sing it in the 70s 80s country music band that she was in. she just passed away and we used this song in her memorial video. i was just thinking of music and i thought of this song and i realized that i did not know the lyrics and i wanted to hear it again. thank you!
In 1970 I was in a place where I could die any moment, and I wanted with all of my being to "fly away" with Ann Murray. I have loved her from the moment I heard this song.
Actually, the song isn't about flying away with the snowbird, its actually about the exact opposite. Anne being old and physically limited, she can't fly with the snowbird.
This song gives me like a very 1970's vintage feeling with the shaggy carpet and decorations that don't even match. Something I can only imagine (sigh)
I have not heard this song in decades. Itis every bit as good as l remember from when I was 14 and the song played on top 40 am radio.......Thanks so so much.
My Dad who passed away back in 2013 really loved to listen to Anne Murray sing this song. He was also a big fan of Marti Robbins. Anne Murray was one of his favorites.
Anne and Rob Stewart were the only two things me and my nan agreed on. When she passed away this was the song I put on for the family song list (we each picked a song or two)
A song that's supposed to 'immortalised' freedom..Still its a beautiful song & rendition by Canadian 'songbird' ANNE MURRAY..brings back good memories of beautiful Canada❤❤❤❤
Probably one of the greatest mergings of the right song with the right artist in the history of recorded music.......this song fits Anne like a velvet glove.
This song is so dear to my heart, I remember hearing this song when I was a child sitting in the back seat of my parents station wagon and hearing my dad whistle this song as it played in his A track.
we all listened to this as a kid with my whole family and now i'm the last man standing these many decades after..so nostalgic hearing this,thanks for posting
Thanks for that beautiful song, my Grandma (Kansas), loved this song so much she wanted it on her headstone. She died while I was in the Navy 1971. This song made me think of this precious woman! Doc Mike USN
It's what I see now do to the show. Was questioned why I had alot of her albums (were nans I got when she passed away) thanks to the episode of FG. Alot of friends have borrowed them.
I’m single and have experienced a ton of rejection. Each time someone rejects me, I listen to this song and cry til the pain stops. The line “For the thing that I want most in life’s the thing that I can’t win.” really resonates with me. I want someone to love me, but I’m losing faith that it’ll ever happen 😞
HK You need to join evening classes or some hobby group eg. Parkruns (you don't have to run) Somewhere, where you meet other people (of the opposite sex) who have a similar interest. Hang in there and think positive! 👍
I remember this song, I was 12 years old when it came out and my mum played this on her record player, She past away peaceful at 40 years of age, two years after it came out. So where ever you are mum, I play this for you and remember you with all my heart and not a day goes by your never far from my heart and my thoughts Godbless.
Im a 6 foot 1 man that comes in at 230 and id consider myself pretty masculine. I go to the gym, i ride a kawasaki vulcan chopper and this song makes me tear up with joy. Absolutely wonderful. Music euphorea
I loved this song as a child. My Mother used branches from orchard and thrashed my legs. Bleeding and I could not get away. I was only 6 yrs old.This happened at Windsor st Opotiki.
Late summer '70 when I first heard this song (@11), the skies over the then- undeveloped part of what's now suburban SW Albuquerque matched the breathable blue in this video!!!
"I'm not listening to Anne Murray, I'm experiencing Anne Murray."
*I'm gonna get lost in some Anne*
Stewie 😊
“What are you talking about? Her music has no edge whatsoever” said Brian
i enjoying her on my road trip
Lol

My grandmother used to sing this song to me I would give to have her sing it to me again my grandmother died when I was 12 and now am 41and I still miss her
Thats so sweet, i dont what to say except, sorry😔

That's so sad may she rest in peace
That’s beautiful
god bless your grandmother
I'm here from family guy, now I'm addicted to her voice.
I don’t regret watching that episode
Same haha!
Same
Have loved her since 1970 when her first song, Snowbird, was released. Check out 'Time don't run out on me.'
Aren't we all😂💔

Fuck yeah!
+Bob Jenkins Hi, Bri! :D
Pigly_Jainda Squad Bri?
Bob Jenkins That's how Stewie says "hi Brian" :D
Pigly_Jainda Squad oh yeah
Can’t believe she doesn’t write her own lyrics, someone should hold her hostage.
I know exactly where she lives let’s go
Somebody did 😂 (stewie)
xD LoLoN Xd that’s the joke!
xD LoLoN Xd whoosh
With a voice like that she didn't have to.
Thank you Canada
The perfect song to keep one calm and distracted during this crazy coronavirus outbreak 😌
Yep, here today gone tomorrow...
Exact reason I thought about this song, wistful optimism
Thanks China!
I agree keeping you calm. This can be a crazy world.
Even though the song is very sad?
This song is so good that it should be twice as long!
Anne Murray has one of the most beautiful voices I’ve heard in ages
Yepp
Here's another from downunder
th-cam.com/video/09m-o6V0CiA/w-d-xo.html
Yes her voice is magical beautiful voice very nice
Makes me feel like I want to go to the country and realax in a beach chair and close my eyes
Effortless genius
I've heard Anne Murray songs in my life, BUT this would be the BEST!
THIS, and "A Little Good News Today"
This bring back memories 😢
What a beautiful song and heavenly voice.
Hi Roxanne hope you're okay?
@@Huffdanny-p2n ???
Lovely sweet simple video of a lovely song.
Still touches the heart after hearing this song thousands of times
One of my Dad's favorites from the 70's. We played this at his funeral on July 15, 2014. He was 85, family man and father to 12 children w/3 sets of twins. He died peacefully. Fly away!!
Melody Goff: may GOD Bless y'all !!!
Melody Goff May he rest in peace. It was his time, but don't worry he's in a better place now

Wow...I was just listening to this because I was starting a list of the things to do before/during/after my mother's funeral...she hasn't passed away yet, she is 92 but it is inevitable...I was thinking of having a singer do a few songs at the funeral and this was her favorite when I was a child...now that I know its an acceptable tribute I am definite on it...thanks for sharing about your Dad...PS I am a twin too
Melody Goff may he rest in peace
I love this song---and I am a Black Dude from the inner City...It's funny when something so Pretty comes by you gotta love it..
Most people just want beauty and peace in their lives. Sometimes a song comes along that offers it.
Music transcends race. You instinctively know talent when you hear it.
Don't understand the dislikes. This song is sung beautifully and the words are beautiful!
It's called severe lack of taste.
This song rules
The dislike are from South Park Bigger Longer and Uncut and the MAC. Remember that they Blame Canada for that bitch Anne Murray too!
Absolutely. Beautiful. 👍
Beautiful , love from Scotland ❤️
A magnificent song with a beautiful voice.
Don't just listen to Anne Murray! Experience Anne Murray too!
YES on BOTH counts
You're beautiful
My Mom is 83 years old and this is her favorite song, You go MOM!!!
This is so sweet
Seriously, to this day, this is still the most positive negative song I've heard.
My mother was a single parent. As a young boy. I grew up listening to all types of music and shows. Anna Murray was one of her favorite singers. Hee Haw was another show my mom and I enjoyed watching. Along with the Lawrence Welch show. The good old days.
Absolutely wonderful tune! Sweetness from Canada; cheers from Robert Cavalier! *
Thank you Seth MacFarlane
I'm watching the episode right now lol.
+The_Xenogeneic That's why I'm here too.
+The_Xenogeneic wow 44 likes never been top comment

GOTTA JOURNEY INTO SOME ANNE
My mom is smiling from the great beyond because I'm listening to the song
😭😭😭
“THE GREAT BEYOND” NOW I HAVE GO HAVE MICHAEL STIPE RAP TO ME….
Probably the most beautiful voice and one of the greatest arrangements of a song ever.
then you should listen to "The Carpenters", her voice will blow your mind. "The Carpenters - Rainy Days and Mondays"
You think thia is beautiful go listen to Indila - Turner da la vide
Einfach nur Klasse! Das ist noch richtige Musik
.y favorite since little im now 60 love het
She sings so beautifully
DOESN'T she?
David Konen yes, yes she does
@@ryzomodzz1777 I think if I would PURSUE (eh) C*REER in SINGING, I'd h*ve *nne Murr*y *s my CO*CH (weird, no?)

she's wonderful
My mom would play this constantly when she did the dishes and I would have to dry them off. Amazing that I just came across this song today and it instantly takes me back to that specific point of time 30+ years ago. What a gem
This song always brings me to tears.
OH YES, YOU FEEL IT IN YOUR VERY BONES GOD BLESS YOU DEAR ANNE FOR SUCH PLEASURE.
When I was 9, we sang this in a school program. So many memories.
This song takes me back to my early teen days, going to school in Jamaica. Oh I love Anne Murray.
Stewie sent me
same
same
i'd being lying if i said he didn't
same with everyone else
me too
Anne's voice is untouchable! ❤️

Mom was always singing, I hope you have recovered from your loss I'm still depressed and angry. Too soon I guess.
The song that reminds me of mom is How can I keep from singing, by Enya. In the living years, reminds me of pop.
I am 54 years old male I have been listening 👂 to your music now for 34 years never get tired 😓 of your songs all beautiful
this song is from a very beautiful era we will never live, experience, or see again.
To bad all there is now is volience in movies and sex on tv
Another song much in the same vein is "Gentle On My Mind" - written by John Hartford
but probably made more famous by Glen Campbell.
Nice that we still have all those really good songs of the 60's and 70's recorded for the future.

Great song I was only 10 but had a teenage aunt that played it day in and day out I remember every word
Timeless! Absolutely timeless!
Made me cry. I needed it.
My Mom loved this song so and Anne Murry. RIP Ruth September 1976. Gone but always in my heart ❤
This is an amazing song, I just watched the episode of family guy and even in the show it sounded amazing. Thank you for all of your beautiful music and I hope you make a long lasting impression on the world. You are a wonderfully perfect human Ann. 🥰

thanks for such a beautiful song love you Anne
I heard this song once and now i Iam listening to it like 100 times who does too?
This brings me to the end of my teenage years. Oh, how I miss those years....so long ago!
Yeah that’s how it is how are you doing over there Emese
@@alfrednicholas5503 Doing well, thanks Alfred! Hope all's well with you too!
I don't care what anyone says. Family guy, American dad, and The Cleveland brings me to some good old music. even though I'm only 20.
Nothing wrong with Family Guy. I guess if certain shows helps people discover old gems, why not?:) I have watched a few episodes of Family Guy and enjoyed it.
add the Orville to that now. Seth McFarlane is a genius...
Well! I HOPE you lead a SUCCESSFUL life somewhere, SOMEHOW!
I had a religious awakening to this song, and owe my divine rebirth to Anne Murray. God bless you!
Its quite interesting that my mom fav female singer was Anne Murray mine was Chantel kreviazuk still LOVE Anne all through till 2023
Anne Murray, an angel voyce, beautiful. Thankful to our God

Couldn't get this song and a little blonde out of my head for at least the year of 70. The later caused my life to unfold.

Sam West Thank you.
***** Depends on were you were at.
She is wonderful. Great arrangements & musicians.
Actually, the song isn't about flying away with the snowbird, its actually about the exact opposite. Anne being old and physically limited, she can't fly with the snowbird.
I can’t believe it took Family Guy for me to discover Anne Murray’s beautiful voice and songs.
What a butiful song 😌
One of my favorites thanks.
This song was one of moms favorites. I have never forgotten it
This song gives me like a very 1970's vintage feeling with the shaggy carpet and decorations that don't even match. Something I can only imagine (sigh)

You need to join evening classes or some hobby group eg. Parkruns (you don't have to run) Somewhere, where you meet other people (of the opposite sex) who have a similar interest.
Hang in there and think positive! 👍
Be patient there is someone for everyone, and the wrong person can make your life miserable.
This isn't music.
It is heart-felt poetry set to music.
Anne Murray brings out a past life in me, not sure why
Found memories of my younger years
I remember this song, I was 12 years old when it came out and my mum played this on her record player, She past away peaceful at 40 years of age, two years after it came out.
So where ever you are mum, I play this for you and remember you with all my heart and not a day goes by your never far from my heart and my thoughts
Godbless.
that brought a tear to my eye
That was really sweet dude.....
Homer Bojangles: mom's waiting to sing a duet w/ her favorite: You! May GOD Bless you!!!

One of my absolutely favorite songs of all time that I have forgotten about for a long time. Thanks!

I'd forgotten it too until Stewie brought me back.
Still one of the most beautiful Songs ever!
When I was a kid, I adored hearing Anne singing 'Amazing Grace', but thanks to Stewie way back when the episode was new this song is my favorite:):)
The start of the 70's...70's and 80's were the best years.
Luckily there's a family guy.
Båctro 😂
True
Nick Tamez it’s the theme song he’s not actually saying it
I'm actually saying that luckily there's that show to introduce me to this song. NGL, I like it.
🤣🤣🤣 immortalizing this master piece
i reckon ANNE MURRAYS VERSION OF THIS SONG IS THE VERY BEST
