Just two days ago, I pulled back to my home in Toronto after driving 10,000 kilometres to British Columbia, across Canada/United States. This trans-continental road trip was one I had always dreamed of and Woody Guthrie, and all the versions of his iconic song, were just paving the way for so many travels, and impressions, and memories. It was an epic journey for which I will am eternally grateful. "This land is your land, this land is my land." No words ring truer. Thank you, Woody, and all who have followed in your footsteps to sing these words.
you stay in third world, thank's you Trump, son of a great mom, she didn't know that abortion some time is the best to do, well the nightmare one day is over!

Wow after hearing many versions of this song I thought no one can best Woody's version, don't get me wrong he'll always be the original writer of this song but I have to say just wow, this is by far the best version of this song, Bruce has really outdone himself, well done Bruce and thank you for bringing this beautiful song to all of us. Best wishes to all American people, from Israel ;).
Well bruce is so good with every song even with songs that is not his he makes it feels like its relatable for everyone and telling a story trough is music is his passion and i admire him for who he is and his love for making music and altough i never went to a concert of him every time i see a clip when he is performing it feels like i am there Bruce thank you for for your beautiful music❤️
...I played this song on harmonica for my Dad, right before we buried him. This song has been playing in my heart all the days of my life... Thank you for giving me Bruce, Daddy. Hug Mommy for us.
I believe this song is PRECISELY the OPPOSITE of what you say here. It's about the VALUE that ALL PEOPLE belong to the family of man. ALL people. Not ""our own people".
a great version of a great song. almost had me in tears thinking about how far we have fallen from this ideal. it also occurred to me that most of the people in the audience had probably never heard the full song. All Woody was trying to say is that everyone deserves to share in America's riches, be they monetary or natural. Nothing wrong with that idea. In fact, that is part of the philosophy behind the idea of the original settlers of this country
wow hot hot hot boss thanking you & the s street band recently touring i got to see u on my birthday in edinburgh then previously prior to that at hampden park in glasgow think 6 years ok but it only felt like yesterday .. you & patti rock boss . love to all the e street band & for yourself to write such beautiful songs . keep on rockin' boss 💝💖
Thanks so much Bruce. For the first time in my life i will tell a guy I love you. You have provided so much clarity and sanity to my life at 65 that i never had before. I am a Canadian but i know a true poet and singer the likes of this world has never seen before. You are the BOSS.
I was listening to this, as I love the song and I love Springsteen, and UA-cam threw it up as the next video after I watched one a friend had sent me. Then I scrolled down and I realized I was at the show where it was recorded. Lately it occurs to me, what a long, strange trip its been.
I learned this anthem on a school bus travelling back to Liberty, NY in '62, from Chibougamau, Que. Canada. I was the 9 yr old guest of a summer team of Trailblazers from Frost Valley YMCA. Its timeless resonance is for me a perfect symphony that embodies all that remains great in North America..... for everyone.
Who’s still listening in 2020, cuz god bless we need this to be played everywhere to remind people how great this country is. God bless everyone and god bless America in these hard times.
no. because this protest song was written in direct response to the song God bless America. this song is about how there is still work to be done and we have yet reached our ideals. This song is about striving towards greatness not declaring we are. I know that there are a lot of people who don't believe this song is true (because of their race, class, gender identity, sexuality, religion, immigration status) and it never was but we can work towards it being more true for more people. I think that this protest song is about a promise that America is failing to keep. but I could be wrong.

Growing up abroad I liked Rick Springfield before I ever heard of "Springsteen"? After living in America for 25 years I truly get why 'we' call him The Boss! He is the real deal... It didn't take 25 years... it pretty much took 41 shots! Love U Bruce!
This song right here man ! This is wat I really really thought America was like coming from an immigrant family, that treating my father sooo gooood my father was very proud to be MexAmerican he loved the opportunity that the US gave him and never denied it , sadly I see a different America , a sad America a cold America, I still have hopes that it can be a better place to live for our children for the future and for This great country, that things can get better 🙏🏼 Amen
There was a big high wall there that tried to stop me. The sign was painted, said 'Private Property.' But on the backside, it didn't say nothing. This land was made for you and me."
every word of the original woody Guthrie song should be included as a tribute to it's perfection. same goes for our Constitution. love Springsteen but his failure to include this verse shows he's incompetent in covering this song. the original is perfect. don't fuck with it
jonw12 in 1985 that verse was not known. It wasn't released until the late 90s when a Smithsonian employee was copying the original record to digital. I guarantee you Bruce would have included it if he knew it
Killjoy : You are correct, sir. An exception to the Cabaret of the Deluded that populate most of this page. THIS LAND is a communist diatribe, aimed at those with non-rational tendencies
We need songs and conviction like this more than ever. Teach the young people who are protesting the Trump election. There is hope is darkness. Stay focused. Stay strong.
hey bruce,this an sos ,we need you again,just like after 9/11.you deserve the rest,but we really need you again.you are our beacon of light these days.
The English kid that I am, I can stand up right now and say that if there is one thing in this world that I respect, it's how much the Americans believe in their country, and how they continue to believe in their country during the toughest times. I'm not saying this because there's just been a terrorist attack or some shit, this is coming straight from the heart and what was just on my mind as I woke up this morning.
There was a big high wall there, that tried to stop me. It was painted, said "private property". But on the back side, it didn't say anything. This land was made for you and me.
Her majesty's soldiers tried to stop me The watchtower was painted Said British property But in the future There won't be no border This lands made for you and me 🇮🇪 🇮🇪 🇮🇪
Bruce's singing of THIS song ~ I was at his "Born In the USA" concert tour ( in the 80's) in Detroit... after playing for over 3hours...and bringing down the house with every note ... all the awesome energy of the night.... Bruce comes out alone with a bar stoll, his guitar & harmonica & sings THIS song ~ from his gut... you could hear a pin drop and every heart was with him in his singing of every word - it was a magical soul to soul moment through music that caused time to stop. Thank You Bruce.
Every time I listen to Bruce's intro to this song, and then his epic rendition of arguably the most powerful ballad ever written, I can't help but get choked up and cry. Bruce's live rendition of "The River", and the intro to that song is equally powerful. In that intro, Bruce talks about the struggles between himself and his dad, and how their relationship was a difficult one. I think a lot of people can relate to that, I know I can. I never really had a relationship with my dad in my teenage and adult years. He up and split after my parents divorced when I was 12 years old, and he'd show up once in a blue moon (I.E. every other year at best). My Ma and I, boy did we fight tooth and nail, just like Springsteen describes with his dad. My Ma and I have reconciled, thank God, and I'm glad I can say I have a great mother. Not a lot people get to that point, ya know. Usually it's too late and the parent(s) die before bridges are mended. But my old man, well, last I heard he was down in Texas doing a garden variety of hard drugs such as Meth and heroin. Peace and love, yall! :-)
People need to understand Springsteen. The vast majority of his work is fast songs and he performs to this day with 20 gallons of gas in his tank but the message has been the same from day 1: "This country is broken and broken still, real working people doing their best have real hard times and it's about time everyone in this nation recognized out national reality and did something about it" Seriously. His message has always been the same. And it's the truth. Our politicians can't fix us they are corrupt as fuck don't pardon my french. What does a working man do when his house is broken? He fixes it, finds a way. Well our collective house is America boys and girls. About time the down and out got tired of all the money and clout, and started thinking about how to fix the situation without doubt. The big boss doesn't fix the problem, the common joe does. Trust in your self. Trump and Hillary are not messiahs, do not wait to be saved by false prophets. You are responsible for YOU and YOUR loved ones. Roll up your sleeves women and men, there's good work that must be done. Let's get to fixing.
Indeed. Springsteen kept his politics close to the vest in his early years, but during the Reagan era he came out as a dyed-in-the-wool liberal, and boilerplate canting about the working class will not change that. He knows where the jackals are, and they certainly are not on the left. But some people just love to be stomped into the dirt so long as they can have their sad little fantasies about someday being rich. It's how the rich keep their feet on real people's necks.
Po-lease. Springsteen is a limo-liberal. He has always been a leftist - he played at the No-Nukes shows in the 70's (and rightly so). He's never been all that bright.
ordinarily, I am no a springsteen fan but this song tells it like it is and was all those years ago,,,our country as said by Dr. Ben Carson,,is in critical condition! Bruce is so very sincere here! love the truth!
Thank you for posting this. I wanted my son to hear the REAL version of the song, and to understand EXACTLY what it is about. He asked me why the verse about the relief office gets left out in school. I replied "Because it's not "nice".
Hello! I am from Puerto Rico not United States, that said I will like to say this is a beautiful song for any one’s PATRIA, home country. Thank you Pete Seger.
This is a song I love I had many hurts in past. This song will is memories so many Jobs taken away. So many valleys and farms that that you don't see tractors much and harvest and barns. All been taken by building houses making room for faster train tracks seeing our lands and fields disapearing. You know back in 1987 I met a girl and I never forgot her in 1993 we sadly broke up not knowing that we would see each other again. The year 2019 after 32 years we got back together again. Here we are living together. The girl I met lived by fields and lands the views were fantastic reason why she moved away is because she met me. This land was made for you and me.
You Americans should really be proud of such masterpiece like this one, i really wish that we had something similiar like this in my country. Do me a favor, don't listen to those people who says anything bad, they're just jealous.
I live in Spain. And everytime I listen to this song makes me cry. I wanna live there: From California, To the New York island, From the Redwood Forest ,To the Gulf Stream waters
I am not from the United States but I moved here, and I can tell you this is a beautiful place to live. There are good and bad people, but it certainly is a beautiful place to live. The great canyon, the countryside in Arkansas, Boston, New York, the springs in Florida, etc... Spain is beautiful too, profoundly beautiful, and I will travel to Spain
Nothing compares to Spain: the food, the weather, the prices, the health system, Formentera Island is like Caribbean!! And football biggest teams, art, wines, mountains to ski....and so on!!! I love Spain
On this day in 1940 {February 23rd} Woody Guthrie, while in his room at the Hanover House Hotel in New York City, wrote the lyrics to "This Land This Your Land"... In 1962 two covered versions of the song entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart, and both debut on the chart on the same day {November 25th}, the New Christy Minstrels' version at #93 and Ketty Lester at #97, and both versions also remained on the chart for one week... The song is a favorite of Bruce Springsteen; between 1980 and 2013 he has performed the song in 107 different concerts...
This song should be our national anthem. It wasn't until the new deal that the working class had a shot at a good quality of life. That's what this song is about. Social programs are American as apple pie. I'm all for them if they work.
NO IT SHOULDN'T!!! "This Land is Your Land" is communist-inspired. It dispels the notion of private property; Guthrie, Seeger, the Weavers an many more were all full-on communists or sympathizers, like much of Hollywood became in the 50's. The Democrats/liberals are either too dumb to realize this or, more likely, they agree with the notion of this Marxist song.
Beautiful, moving, intense...........who else could get over 5.5 million views and counting for such a well-known song>>>????????????? I think during a stretch of the 80's Bruce's voice, emotions, and band were at their best, perhaps, as compared to other live performances in other years.....................
This song is about the Great Depression ya'll it was written in protest to Irving Berlin's optimistic and patriotic view of America that he wrote about in "God Bless America." Guthrie wrote this because he was mad about what was happening in the country, people were losing everything, especially their jobs and money
Ok since its been awhile since someone left a message about how damn good springsteen's version is of this song, let me make sure to leave one. Great version Bruce, remember first time i heard in on live album 75-85 was like damn...
I’m a puertorrican born in the Philadelphia but raised here on the island. Probably most of my compatriots would stone me for saying this but this song is so beautiful it touches me (even more than our own patriotic songs) and it makes me feel I’m living in the wrong country. I’ve tried many times to make it in the states but always end up down here. The best memories I have are from the times I’ve been there. but it feels like the land that saw me come into this world don’t want anything to do with me. Hope has faded away but I always dream of America, and I’m always sad about it. (Damn that almost sounds like a country song)
I heard this on a "bootleg" record of Woody's in 1968 with this verse, "As I went walkin' that ribbon of highway I saw a sign sayin' 'PRIVATE PROPERTY' But on the other side it didn't say nu-u-thin This land was made for you and me."
A great song Woodie and a Great job,we love you Bruce and thanks for puting it on ObersKrautwaschl. Yes to America and yes we are waking up. Woodies spirit lives in the core of the people. the people who hate this song are more aware of its meaning than even the patriots. I believe those who dislike or hate this song may hear more of it in the future. I believe big media has put some in a dream world but they are waking up.we need an honest hard working congress and no politics. We the People
Bruce Springsteen did say that this song was written by Woody Guthrie, it is right in the beginning of this video. I also have this song from his 75-85 collection and it is the same version and he does mention that Guthrie wrote it. Springsteen says Guthrie wrote it as an answer to Irving Berlin's God Bless America and "This Land is Your Land" is one of the most beautiful songs ever written.
Once I rode that ribbon highway, I saw above me the endless sky, I saw below me a golden valley; This land was made for you and me. I've roamed and rambled, and I followed my footsteps Through the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts; And all around me a voice was sounding; it cried, This land was made for you and me. Well the sun came shining, as I went strolling, Through the wheat fields waving and her dust clouds rolling, And her bells were ringing, as the fog was lifting, And I seen this land was made for you and Me. One Sunday morning, In the shadow of the steeple, by the relief office, I saw the people And they were hungry, and they were wondering, Is this land made for you and me? This land is your land, and this land is my land From California to the New York island From the Redwood Forest to the Gulf Stream waters This land was made for you and me
Well I rode that ribbon highway I saw above me the endless sky I saw below me the golden valley This land was made for you and me I've roamed and rambled and followed my footsteps Through the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts And all around me a voice was calling This land was made for you and me This land is your land This land is my land From California To the New York island From the Redwood Forest To the Gulf Stream waters This land was made for you and me Well the sun came shining and I was strolling Through wheat fields waving and dust clouds rolling And a voice was sounding As the fog was lifting Saying this land was made for you and me This land is your land This land is my land From California To the New York island From the Redwood Forest To the Gulf Stream waters This land was made for you and me
Et Sauver mes enfants s.v.p surtout et Merci infiniment pour moi ça va être juste correct ici seule surtout ✨️🙏✨️ Protégés Mes enfants précieux à mon coeur de maman surtout car moi Donnerais juste Ma Vie pour Chacuns de Eux surtout et Merci surtout pour qu'ils reviennent plus jamais ou moi je suis surtout avec ce que je Vie et très bien ainsi surtout pour sauver tout ceux que j'aime et qui me sont chers à mon Coeur de Maman surtout et Amen ✨️🙏✨️
This land is your land, this land is my land From California to the New York island, From the redwood forest to the Gulf Stream waters; This land was made for you and me. As I was walking that ribbon of highway I saw above me that endless skyway; I saw below me that golden valley; This land was made for you and me. I've roamed and rambled and I followed my footsteps To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts; And all around me a voice was sounding; This land was made for you and me. When the sun came shining, and I was strolling, And the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling, As the fog was lifting a voice was chanting: This land was made for you and me. As I went walking I saw a sign there, And on the sign it said "No Trespassing." But on the other side it didn't say nothing. That side was made for you and me. In the shadow of the steeple I saw my people, By the relief office I seen my people; As they stood there hungry, I stood there asking Is this land made for you and me? Nobody living can ever stop me, As I go walking that freedom highway; Nobody living can ever make me turn back This land was made for you and me.
This Land Is Your Land Words and Music by Woody Guthrie This land is your land This land is my land From California to the New York island; From the red wood forest to the Gulf Stream waters This land was made for you and Me. As I was walking that ribbon of highway, I saw above me that endless skyway: I saw below me that golden valley: This land was made for you and me. I've roamed and rambled and I followed my footsteps To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts; And all around me a voice was sounding: This land was made for you and me. When the sun came shining, and I was strolling, And the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling, As the fog was lifting a voice was chanting: This land was made for you and me. As I went walking I saw a sign there And on the sign it said "No Trespassing." But on the other side it didn't say nothing, That side was made for you and me. In the shadow of the steeple I saw my people, By the relief office I seen my people; As they stood there hungry, I stood there asking Is this land made for you and me? Nobody living can ever stop me, As I go walking that freedom highway; Nobody living can ever make me turn back This land was made for you and me.
Guthrie would be straight proud of Bruce's version!!! A true icon!! Love you brother!!
This song goes deep under the skin, no matter where you from.
Totally agree, Irish living in France...its Universal
Woody Guthrie would be proud and smiling to hear his song sung by such a powerful and sincere voice and to such a wide audience.
Amen

He'd rather eat glass. No offense but Bruce sees himself as antithesis to DJT and what his life represents.
This song right here man ! This is wat I really really thought America was like coming from an immigrant family, that treating my father sooo gooood my father was very proud to be MexAmerican he loved the opportunity that the US gave him and never denied it , sadly I see a different America , a sad America a cold America, I still have hopes that it can be a better place to live for our children for the future and for This great country, that things can get better 🙏🏼 Amen
There was a big high wall there that tried to stop me. The sign was painted, said 'Private Property.' But on the backside, it didn't say nothing. This land was made for you and me."
every word of the original woody Guthrie song should be included as a tribute to it's perfection. same goes for our Constitution. love Springsteen but his failure to include this verse shows he's incompetent in covering this song. the original is perfect. don't fuck with it
jonw12 in 1985 that verse was not known. It wasn't released until the late 90s when a Smithsonian employee was copying the original record to digital. I guarantee you Bruce would have included it if he knew it
It was never Woody Guthrie's idea to encourage illegal immigration. Not any that I have heard of. He did not want to make it harder for people
That line is not refering to Immigration. It's referring to the notation of Private Property as being Immoral
Killjoy : You are correct, sir. An exception to the Cabaret of the Deluded that populate most of this page.
THIS LAND is a communist diatribe, aimed at those with non-rational tendencies
We need songs and conviction like this more than ever. Teach the young people who are protesting the Trump election. There is hope is darkness. Stay focused. Stay strong.
so true
Gran cancion, grande BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN increíble como transmite sentimientos y mensajes tan importantes y profundos. God save BRUCE
hey bruce,this an sos ,we need you again,just like after 9/11.you deserve the rest,but we really need you again.you are our beacon of light these days.
The English kid that I am, I can stand up right now and say that if there is one thing in this world that I respect, it's how much the Americans believe in their country, and how they continue to believe in their country during the toughest times. I'm not saying this because there's just been a terrorist attack or some shit, this is coming straight from the heart and what was just on my mind as I woke up this morning.
There was a big high wall there, that tried to stop me.
It was painted, said "private property".
But on the back side, it didn't say anything.
This land was made for you and me.
Her majesty's soldiers
tried to stop me
The watchtower was painted
Said British property
But in the future
There won't be no border
This lands made for you and me
🇮🇪 🇮🇪 🇮🇪
I may not be from the country, but this song is moving.
for me he is not only "The Boss" - he is a Folk-Country-Pop-Giant!
The genre is called Americana.
Bruce's singing
of THIS song ~
I was at his
"Born In the USA" concert tour
( in the 80's)
in Detroit...
after playing for over 3hours...and bringing down the house with every note ...
all the awesome energy of the night....
Bruce comes out alone with a bar stoll,
his guitar & harmonica & sings THIS song ~
from his gut...
you could hear a pin drop and every heart was with him in his singing of every word - it was a magical soul to soul moment through music that caused time to stop.
Thank You Bruce.
Every time I listen to Bruce's intro to this song, and then his epic rendition of arguably the most powerful ballad ever written, I can't help but get choked up and cry. Bruce's live rendition of "The River", and the intro to that song is equally powerful. In that intro, Bruce talks about the struggles between himself and his dad, and how their relationship was a difficult one.
I think a lot of people can relate to that, I know I can. I never really had a relationship with my dad in my teenage and adult years. He up and split after my parents divorced when I was 12 years old, and he'd show up once in a blue moon (I.E. every other year at best). My Ma and I, boy did we fight tooth and nail, just like Springsteen describes with his dad.
My Ma and I have reconciled, thank God, and I'm glad I can say I have a great mother. Not a lot people get to that point, ya know. Usually it's too late and the parent(s) die before bridges are mended. But my old man, well, last I heard he was down in Texas doing a garden variety of hard drugs such as Meth and heroin.
Peace and love, yall! :-)
People need to understand Springsteen. The vast majority of his work is fast songs and he performs to this day with 20 gallons of gas in his tank but the message has been the same from day 1: "This country is broken and broken still, real working people doing their best have real hard times and it's about time everyone in this nation recognized out national reality and did something about it" Seriously. His message has always been the same. And it's the truth. Our politicians can't fix us they are corrupt as fuck don't pardon my french. What does a working man do when his house is broken? He fixes it, finds a way. Well our collective house is America boys and girls. About time the down and out got tired of all the money and clout, and started thinking about how to fix the situation without doubt. The big boss doesn't fix the problem, the common joe does. Trust in your self. Trump and Hillary are not messiahs, do not wait to be saved by false prophets. You are responsible for YOU and YOUR loved ones. Roll up your sleeves women and men, there's good work that must be done. Let's get to fixing.
ahepperl love it. Not American myself but what you are saying applies worldwide. Let us fix it. Best of luck to you and your country and its people.
ahepperl p
Bruce Springsteen is very clearly anti-Trump. He has made this very clear.
Indeed. Springsteen kept his politics close to the vest in his early years, but during the Reagan era he came out as a dyed-in-the-wool liberal, and boilerplate canting about the working class will not change that. He knows where the jackals are, and they certainly are not on the left.
But some people just love to be stomped into the dirt so long as they can have their sad little fantasies about someday being rich. It's how the rich keep their feet on real people's necks.
Po-lease. Springsteen is a limo-liberal. He has always been a leftist - he played at the No-Nukes shows in the 70's (and rightly so). He's never been all that bright.
ordinarily, I am no a springsteen fan but this song tells it like it is and was all those years ago,,,our country as said by Dr. Ben Carson,,is in critical condition! Bruce is so very sincere here! love the truth!
Thank you for posting this. I wanted my son to hear the REAL version of the song, and to understand EXACTLY what it is about. He asked me why the verse about the relief office gets left out in school. I replied "Because it's not "nice".
although this is an awesome version, there is more missing. look it up under woodie Guthrie.
Came here because i'm finely going to the great beautiful country thats a land for you and me. Cya in New York for 4th of july.
It don't get any more American than this right hear :)
We gotta have more ppl come thru like Bruce .. In this time we need it again..
The best version of this song I think, God bless you, Bruce Springsteen.
This song makes me emotional. I hear it and I get teary eyed.
There is a reason people came to hear this song today. America, do not bow to tyranny or give up what is best in you. God save our great nation.
Hello! I am from Puerto Rico not United States, that said I will like to say this is a beautiful song for any one’s PATRIA, home country. Thank you Pete Seger.
It's a damn shame this only has 14k thumbs up. It's a damn shame. It will be a sad, sad day when the Boss kicks the bucket.
This is a song I love I had many hurts in past. This song will is memories so many Jobs taken away. So many valleys and farms that that you don't see tractors much and harvest and barns. All been taken by building houses making room for faster train tracks seeing our lands and fields disapearing. You know back in 1987 I met a girl and I never forgot her in 1993 we sadly broke up not knowing that we would see each other again. The year 2019 after 32 years we got back together again. Here we are living together. The girl I met lived by fields and lands the views were fantastic reason why she moved away is because she met me. This land was made for you and me.
You Americans should really be proud of such masterpiece like this one, i really wish that we had something similiar like this in my country. Do me a favor, don't listen to those people who says anything bad, they're just jealous.
Thank you. God bless you greatly.
So passionate. A great homage to this classic song and the promise of the founders of this country.
my sons dad dedicated this song to me a few years ago. i cant stop crying. rest in peace trevor 😫💔😭
This version is nostalgic to me, the harmonica, the tempo, his tone, chord choices. Just beautiful
I live in Spain. And everytime I listen to this song makes me cry. I wanna live there: From California, To the New York island, From the Redwood Forest ,To the Gulf Stream waters
I am not from the United States but I moved here, and I can tell you this is a beautiful place to live. There are good and bad people, but it certainly is a beautiful place to live. The great canyon, the countryside in Arkansas, Boston, New York, the springs in Florida, etc... Spain is beautiful too, profoundly beautiful, and I will travel to Spain
Nothing compares to Spain: the food, the weather, the prices, the health system, Formentera Island is like Caribbean!! And football biggest teams, art, wines, mountains to ski....and so on!!! I love Spain
@@kurtcobain6716
Thank you very much!! Very kind from you. Greetings from Spain
On this day in 1940 {February 23rd} Woody Guthrie, while in his room at the Hanover House Hotel in New York City, wrote the lyrics to "This Land This Your Land"...
In 1962 two covered versions of the song entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart, and both debut on the chart on the same day {November 25th}, the New Christy Minstrels' version at #93 and Ketty Lester at #97, and both versions also remained on the chart for one week...
The song is a favorite of Bruce Springsteen; between 1980 and 2013 he has performed the song in 107 different concerts...
I love this song .... doesn't matter who sings it... it's always good
Everybody in the US and Canada needs this song right now
Danke für den Upload 🎉 Ich habe Tränen in den Augen😢
This should be our national anthem.
Yes!
John Write It would be if a capitalist wrote it. but since a socialist did, we can't have any of that in America
This song should be our national anthem. It wasn't until the new deal that the working class had a shot at a good quality of life. That's what this song is about. Social programs are American as apple pie. I'm all for them if they work.
NO IT SHOULDN'T!!! "This Land is Your Land" is communist-inspired. It dispels the notion of private property; Guthrie, Seeger, the Weavers an many more were all full-on communists or sympathizers, like much of Hollywood became in the 50's. The Democrats/liberals are either too dumb to realize this or, more likely, they agree with the notion of this Marxist song.
Drew Haney id pick communism over capitalism anyday
Beautiful, moving, intense...........who else could get over 5.5 million views and counting for such a well-known song>>>????????????? I think during a stretch of the 80's Bruce's voice, emotions, and band were at their best, perhaps, as compared to other live performances in other years.....................
This song is about the Great Depression ya'll it was written in protest to Irving Berlin's optimistic and patriotic view of America that he wrote about in "God Bless America." Guthrie wrote this because he was mad about what was happening in the country, people were losing everything, especially their jobs and money
Makayla Thompson very similar of what is happening in this country today.
Thank You!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This should be the top comment, I have been saying that to people so many times but they just won't listen!!!
How can some people dislike this song . It's the greatest song I know Greetings from Sweden ;)
Ok since its been awhile since someone left a message about how damn good springsteen's version is of this song, let me make sure to leave one. Great version Bruce, remember first time i heard in on live album 75-85 was like damn...
I’m a puertorrican born in the Philadelphia but raised here on the island. Probably most of my compatriots would stone me for saying this but this song is so beautiful it touches me (even more than our own patriotic songs) and it makes me feel I’m living in the wrong country. I’ve tried many times to make it in the states but always end up down here. The best memories I have are from the times I’ve been there. but it feels like the land that saw me come into this world don’t want anything to do with me. Hope has faded away but I always dream of America, and I’m always sad about it.
(Damn that almost sounds like a country song)
I heard this on a "bootleg" record of Woody's in 1968 with this verse, "As I went walkin' that ribbon of highway
I saw a sign sayin' 'PRIVATE PROPERTY'
But on the other side it didn't say nu-u-thin
This land was made for you and me."
A great song Woodie and a Great job,we love you Bruce and thanks for puting it on ObersKrautwaschl. Yes to America and yes we are waking up. Woodies spirit lives in the core of the people. the people who hate this song are more aware of its meaning than even the patriots. I believe those who dislike or hate this song may hear more of it in the future. I believe big media has put some in a dream world but they are waking up.we need an honest hard working congress and no politics. We the People
thank you for this lovely song , yes it is our land
Bruce Springsteen did say that this song was written by Woody Guthrie, it is right in the beginning of this video. I also have this song from his 75-85 collection and it is the same version and he does mention that Guthrie wrote it. Springsteen says Guthrie wrote it as an answer to Irving Berlin's God Bless America and "This Land is Your Land" is one of the most beautiful songs ever written.
Por lejos, la mejor versión de esta maravillosa canción!
"This Machine Kills Fascists"
ALWAYS
Crazy
this machine is needed today the most !
Ah yes a read American
@Jack Harper you do know Bruce and woody and Pete are all socialist??
Thank you Bruce and woody. This land was made for you and me.
Once I rode that ribbon highway,
I saw above me the endless sky,
I saw below me a golden valley;
This land was made for you and me.
I've roamed and rambled, and I followed my footsteps
Through the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts;
And all around me a voice was sounding; it cried,
This land was made for you and me.
Well the sun came shining, as I went strolling,
Through the wheat fields waving and her dust clouds rolling,
And her bells were ringing, as the fog was lifting,
And I seen this land was made for you and Me.
One Sunday morning,
In the shadow of the steeple, by the relief office,
I saw the people
And they were hungry, and they were wondering,
Is this land made for you and me?
This land is your land, and this land is my land
From California to the New York island
From the Redwood Forest to the Gulf Stream waters
This land was made for you and me
you can see that Bruce feels these words in his heart, not to mention that he, along with Bob Dylan, etc. are huge Woody Guthrie fans
Well I rode that ribbon highway
I saw above me the endless sky
I saw below me the golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I've roamed and rambled and followed my footsteps
Through the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts
And all around me a voice was calling
This land was made for you and me
This land is your land
This land is my land
From California
To the New York island
From the Redwood Forest
To the Gulf Stream waters
This land was made for you and me
Well the sun came shining and I was strolling
Through wheat fields waving and dust clouds rolling
And a voice was sounding
As the fog was lifting
Saying this land was made for you and me
This land is your land
This land is my land
From California
To the New York island
From the Redwood Forest
To the Gulf Stream waters
This land was made for you and me

An amazing song done by a brilliant artist
👍👍👏👏❤️❤️🇨🇭🇨🇭
I saw this 35 years ago, it changed my life, let it change yours.
The best version. I have listened to many versions, this is the first time tears in my eyes.
The London 80 show was the best version... and this was the first time I heard it on e street radio after my dad died and I just cried
I came here after January 6, 2021. 😢
Indeed
I hope your heart was warmed by J'lo's performance.
If it's not true, it should be. It's a new day, let's get to work.
@@JediAnne JLO wasn't there on the 6th 😂
@@JediAnne What does Kamala & JLo have in common? They both slept around to the top 😆😆😆 lol
Best version ever. TKS
This land is your land, this land is my land
From California to the New York island,
From the redwood forest to the Gulf Stream waters;
This land was made for you and me.
As I was walking that ribbon of highway
I saw above me that endless skyway;
I saw below me that golden valley;
This land was made for you and me.
I've roamed and rambled and I followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts;
And all around me a voice was sounding;
This land was made for you and me.
When the sun came shining, and I was strolling,
And the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling,
As the fog was lifting a voice was chanting:
This land was made for you and me.
As I went walking I saw a sign there,
And on the sign it said "No Trespassing."
But on the other side it didn't say nothing.
That side was made for you and me.
In the shadow of the steeple I saw my people,
By the relief office I seen my people;
As they stood there hungry, I stood there asking
Is this land made for you and me?
Nobody living can ever stop me,
As I go walking that freedom highway;
Nobody living can ever make me turn back
This land was made for you and me.
This should be playing ever where,we are all Americans people 🙏🇺🇸💪
