Richard Harris was a great actor who lived life to the fullest. Add to that his ability to sing some truly beautiful songs in his own inimitable style and he’s left us with a wonderful legacy. RIP Richard. ❤
This song is for my Mom. She was taken by Lord last Feb 25, 2019. I was given the opportunity to take care of her until her very last breath. Yes Mommy you filled the world with love eveyday. You gave so much love and care to your children and grandchildren. Your sacrifice were endless. You are now fully resting in the Hands of our Lord. Thank you Mommy for giving us the best of everything in your own humble way.
He said, to Burt Bacharach, in a (filmed) recorded presentation - that he was not a trained singer, but an actor (who sung), of a style (from the perspective of, so to speak) as ACTING out the lyrics, as one who may be feeling the emotions of that song. The vid to find is of the song "Shangri La" , here on YT. 🎶. It begins with the song, "Didn't We Girl", so ... wait for it. Enjoy :)
I have just been to the funeral of someone who truly DID fill the world with love and we were exhorted to sing this and think about the words. Wonderful lyrics, great sentiments. If only we could all try and fill the world with love instead of hate.
This song just came to me the other night. I loved it in GOODBYE, MR. CHIPS but that was so many years ago. I hadn’t thought about it in forever. I’ve got many more years behind me than before me now. And I want this at my funeral. I taught elementary school for over 30 years, and I try to be the. Christian God expects me to be. I hope they’ll all say good things about me and how I DID fill the world with love. I’m only used to Petula Clark singing this. I had no idea Richard Harris had recorded it. I loved him so, and have all his albums. I guess I better go look.
Seriously fell in love with him after camelot. And then he started singing more and I bought all his albums. I remember especially at college sitting in the dorm and listening to richard. He was just the best because he didn't just sing he told the story. Wonderful wonderful song
I found him while in the Army 1958 at Ft Gordon GA serving as a surgical assistant. He was my trip from reality with MacArthur Park. I had all his music and saw him in Camelot in Omaha. A real loss...one of the 3 Welsh·men. Such a dear loss. .
I haven't heard this song for ages and really loved hearing it again.' Somehow remembered every word as well. Thank you so much for posting one that doesn't appear often at all.
I received my deep & everlasting love of music & literature from my mother & my father. My Mom collected books. My Dad collected records. He & I shared a deep appreciation for the Irish actor Richard Harris' collaboration with American songwriter Jimmy Webb. We listened to Harris' "A Tramp Shining" album a thousand times even though the disc was slightly warped. Here is a track by Richard Harris that we never listened to, but if Dad were still alive, I know that he would like it & play it REALLY LOUD while nursing a scotch on the rocks. Love is not all you need, but without it, life has little meaning.
i was young when a big bro untimely died. on the eve of his burial his college choral grp came to see him the last time and sang this one as a tribute to their fallen member. it's the same picture then and now ea time i hear this r.harris song. very nostalgic to me. thanks for the vid.
I totally echo "J.Treble" comment, below. I was listening to Richard sing all the way back in the early 70s when I was a young man. I had all of his albums. This song was one of my favorites. Such passion. I thought -and still think- that he was GREAT. I loved his album "Slides" and got many of my friends hooked on it. Mind you, we were all pounding away to the Zepplin, Pink Floyd, and James Brown in that same time frame. Such was the power of Richard's performance. Richard Harris- a Tramp Shining!
John Anderson, you just said the anthem of my life You're obviously an old soul I just commented about Led Zepplin on my other comments on another song Jimmy Webb and Richard Harris will always come first They were my first true musical loves since 1967 .. 50 years ago .. Unbelievable ! Love to you!!!!!
Been loving his unique talent for many years; but, the morph @ :10, to the color skies - the scary, gloomy, unnatural, geoengineered skies of today ... made me look away, and just remember ... simpler days - and enjoying the song. Aaahhhh. 🎶:) 🎶
This is my favourite song of my life for the words for the message and whoever said Richard Harris could not sing, RUBBISH, he was an actor, but I KNOW he sang this song with as much sincerity as a person ever could. God bless him and all of us. If we all followed the words of this song along with the golden rule no one would need to be discussing this stupid Illuminati stuff or worrying about all the conspiracies that plague as all and fill us all with such fear that we end up hating others and they us for NO REASON at all.....god bless Richard Harris, who did drink a wee bit too much but a lot more interesting than any of the self righteous AA members or xian holy rollers who make me want to vomit Harris was a GOOD man he lived hard and he loved life and he is an example to LIVE by not to be constantly looking for things to be at war with or kill whether it be the Arabs or drugs or germs...kill kill kill war war war is how it is for most and most live and die this way not Richard Harris and not Peter O Toole they would be been destroyed by the srinks and do gooders!!!
Yes you are so right. I heard this played on the radio less than half an hour ago and the discussion was that he was a singer who could act and an actor who could sing. Beautiful song.... and the words are so very true, as are also, the words you've spoken.
That was filmed in Duluth when I was little and the guy's was looking for him and they went to my grandparents looking for Richard Harris and my grandparents said they had a grandson Richard Harris that was me😂
He is a great "presenter"...all that passion..... and I loved his MacArthur Park too. ( I am a dedicated Classical concert performer...somethings are just more important than perfection. Uniqueness, for one. Richard, and his pal, Peter O'Toole, was unique.)
Such a wonderful Man, singing a wonderful Song....and a Brilliant Actor......GIFTED...REST IN peace Richard...you are not forgotten ❤ ♥ 💖 💙 💕 💗 ❤ ♥ 💖 💙 💕 💗 ❤ ♥ 💖 💙 💕 💗 ❤
Truly one of the greatest songs ever written. It should be in every church songbook, regardless of religion or denomination.
Gorgeous looks, brilliant actor, amazing singer.
Richard Harris was a great actor who lived life to the fullest. Add to that his ability to sing some truly beautiful songs in his own inimitable style and he’s left us with a wonderful legacy. RIP Richard. ❤

Bless you and your Mom. I lost mine in December. This song said it all about her too.
What a beautiful tribute to your dear mother 💐 May she rest in peace, and may God bless you for sharing these edifying words with us 🙏✝️
Beautiful, a favorite song, inspiring lyrics
As world turmoils surges I have decided to listen to every version of this classic that YT offers.
One of the most AMAZING VOICES EVER...I love listening to all your songs..you bring me much happiness, and peace of mind...xxx
Yes you did Richard, yes you did! I love you man.
I cannot imagine any other person sing this one with as much passion and uniqueness as the great Richard Harris.
yes, he sings it best
Go search Regine Velasquez version of this song with full orchestra.
All of his songs sounded as if he put his heart and souls into singing them.

In memory of Bishop Carlito Cenzon our Father Rector at CICM Seminary, Talisay City, Neg. Occ. He was the one who introduced this beautiful song
This song along with McArthur Park are my 2 favorites of all time. What a voice!!!!

You're obviously an old soul

Jimmy Webb and Richard Harris will always come first
They were my first true musical loves since 1967 ..
50 years ago .. Unbelievable !
Love to you!!!!!

I Love this
Man❤
Very beautiful images. Richard Harris' singing goes so well with those photos also.
BEAUTIFUL. We sang this song a decade ago in high school. It has so much more meaning now.
Timely question but those who did the chaos now to our world must answer.

Well said friend
Yes you are so right. I heard this played on the radio less than half an hour ago and the discussion was that he was a singer who could act and an actor who could sing. Beautiful song.... and the words are so very true, as are also, the words you've spoken.
I am reminded of the simple teaching of the Buddha -----Someday you'll be just a memory. Make it a good one."
And as little tiny Tim procliamed "God bless us, everyone". Stunning Simon, well done.
Beautiful. So inspiring.
Thank you!
Passion.. So very lovely..!!!♥
R.I.P. Leslie Bricusse a great song writer 19/10/2021

So beautiful! Thanks for posting! God bless

+Jane Suzanne Kata many thanks
Doing God's work.
Gorgeous
One of the songs i remember since my high school days with SCA. Fr. Bert Espenilla, Cora and Greg Fabros, Efren Dato and company.
É QUE O MUNDO PRECISA....AMOR
and more appreciation to the true value of a single relationship through the entire life even relationships have become a throw away in this world
Beautiful!!
so lovley
God bless you too
This was our graduation song back in 1972
That was filmed in Duluth when I was little and the guy's was looking for him and they went to my grandparents looking for Richard Harris and my grandparents said they had a grandson Richard Harris that was me😂
Happy Sunday to you.
Kitchie passes on his thanks for your comments (I (simon) am a temp who works for Kitchie in a clerical capacity once in a while.
Fin ballad av han.
thank you
Tiny Tim from the Dickens novel, or from 'Tiptoe through the Tulips '' fame?
Dickens defo..... Tiny Tim from the U.S.... that never ended well, blinking eck. Better a late reply than never lol
❤️❤️❤️
Upper Darby summer stage sings this
super
By the way I STILL THINK his music is GREAT. (Don't know how the comment below came to strike thru that clause).
I ignored the "strike-thru' "..but how does one strike thru' like that on a Mac?
Richard is NOT a singer and this one proves it. MacArther Park is another. Horribly good.
He is a great "presenter"...all that passion..... and I loved his MacArthur Park too.
( I am a dedicated Classical concert performer...somethings are just more important than perfection. Uniqueness, for one. Richard, and his pal, Peter O'Toole, was unique.)
I believe he sings better than some people consider singers.
Sorry.... Petula did it much better in the remake of Goodbye Mr Chips with Peter O'Toole
roger williams did it exceptionally better than even Petula: th-cam.com/video/wsbSpVJ1P_M/w-d-xo.html
