Agree. We all have our own opinion. But equally it's re elusive butterflies .. bees or Robins that are elusive. Just are here to remind us of our loved ones.. DONT BE concerned..
I remember as a kid hearing this on the radio and not really understanding it at the time, but even then I realized it sounded different than any other pop song in the 60s. Now, I can see it was a gift from God, one of the most beautiful, simple melodies ever written, and only gets better with time.

This is one of the most beautiful songs during that era. His voice and the arrangement are perfect. If I'm having a hard day, this song sets things right. Back in the day, way before the Internet and only AM radio, I had to search those huge books at Tower Records until I found this 45!! But worth every minute. I still have that 45 today. Long Live Tower Records
I think songs like this are a foretaste of the heavenly home we all want to be in when we pass away. Great visuals in this masterpiece from the 1960`s.😊
This song is so beautiful it brings tears to my eyes I could remember this song years ago when I was a kid I am ao happy I grew up in the 60 they don't make music like this anymore ❤❤
Must agree with you. I was 8 when this was out and it was a big favourite of mine as a kid and still love to hear it today as it brings back great memories.
Was asked what was my most favorite song of all time, and after thinking about it for a long while this song popped into my head as I had not heard it in years! I found it, revived it for myself, and now I'm glad to see it here. Thank you!
This Song Reminds Me Of My Younger Years As A Teenager 16 Yrs Of Age. I Was In A Correctional Facility For Boys In Red Wing. I Had Awaken From A Sleep And Heard This On The Radio And Sat On My Bed Listening To It And Feeling All Alone And Thinking Of The Outside. I Remember That Day To This Day. My Girlfriend Sherry Kumpula Came Through My Mind While This Song Played And Still Think Of Her Today When I Hear It. Of Course We Were Teen Agers Then 1966. Richard
A local radio station used to play this in 1991. It was my first year in College. I remember waking up to this song. I fell in love with it. I still think it’s one of the most beautiful songs. Brings back such great memories.
Oh, yay! I woke up to see that cozy's done one of my favorite songs of all time. I have always utterly loved this song with its hints of fairy tale magic, true love and princes pursuing princesses. Hey, I was only eight in 1966. But all these decades later, it's retained that quality for me. Thank you for capturing its spirit so well. And for showing the handsome prince. Appreciate it.
The song is also one of my favorites; I was in Jr. High when the song was released. In my videos, from the male point of view, I normally show the male when he speaks in the "first person".
1st. I love this song. I think we are all chasing love one way or another. 2nd. I love the video - So many butterflies. 3rd. The models are lovely and really adds to the "chasing the elusive butterfly of love!"
This is the best video to this GREAT song that I have yet to see. The late great Jack Nietzsche produced and arranged the strings. Bob Lind on acoustic, Carol Kaye on bass, Henry Diltz on banjo, Leon Russell on piano, Hal Blaine on drums, Sum Yung Guy on tambourine. Not sure who sings back up harmony on the ending words of each chorus, "butterfly of love." Sounds female. Maybe Sum Yung Chik.
I should also tell you that this song and the Breads song If makes me think of my oldest sister, Joane'. She died in January 2003. Point- don't tell people bad thing about habits, or life styles of the deceased. It hurts their feelings. Have a heart.
This song was out when I was younger. Says all I felt. I use to wonder why people waited until their old to write, now I know why, I have all the time in the world to write. This song and this video are calling me to write my dreams. I tried once and it seemed too hard. Meow, I need to try again, this time don't stop.
The lyrics to this song are great, but what really made it shine was that Richard Bock, listed as the producer, brought in Jack Nitzsche, who is best known for helping Phil Spector create the "wall of sound", do the arrangements and scoring of the track, but in a little subtler way than he did for Phil on other 60's hits. IMHO Jack Nailed it on this one
@@gainsbourg66 I don't agree with your assessment, But you are certainly entitled to it. Everyone's ears, their brains aural processing, their audio equipment's quality, source material etc. are all different, Even though this was recorded 60 years ago I find it quite balanced and clean myself. I took the audio track from YT and re-sampled it at 320kbs in MP3 instead of the common 128kbsMP3. to decompress it as much as possible. That reveals sounds that are "hidden" behind other sounds to save space o produce a smaller file. The compression also reduces the separation for the same purpose.Yes, there are a couple sub-optimal examples and the mono mixes for radio and 45's especially ARE muddy. In its "restored" form my system, ears, and brain find it very pleasing, a nice reminder of when I was 16! If interested in the MP3 process you can find a good description on Wikipedia. I did this to get the best sounding file I could get on MP3 to load it into my vehicles sound system which also has SRS Labs Sound Retreival System which adds even more improvement. I have close to 1500 tracks in it, so it's ALL music I like with no talking and commercials in between!
A young man admires a beautiful young woman from afar. Over time, the admiration turns into infatuation. Still, he hesitates to approach and make a connection. Eventually, his cautious and distant adoration of the young beauty continues for too long, and he loses an opportunity.
Beautiful song. Its in my opinion re loved ones passing .. chasing , being close despite being in heaven.... Beautiful as we they remind us always. The little butterflies.. are our nets of wonder..cant catch them. As they are safe and flitting around free .. they are the bright elusive butterflies of love and we wake up with that beauty around us 💛.. they may have passed but we wake up every morning and go about our day. Our lost ones are truly with us... . Yes 4 tops version is equally good
This song reminds me of my childhood. They don’t make songs like this anymore. Love this song.
I fully understand that
My connection with my son who have left this Earth is what I, personally, think about when I listen to this beautiful song.
Cy³and
And me. Also. Vincent xxxx
Agree. We all have our own opinion. But equally it's re elusive butterflies .. bees or Robins that are elusive. Just are here to remind us of our loved ones.. DONT BE concerned..
So so sorry for your loss. I can see why you fell that way. God be with you

Now, I can see it was a gift from God, one of the most beautiful, simple melodies ever written, and only gets better with time.
Exactly, America was about freedom, of course, but the primary driving force of America was we believe in God.😊

@@dr.OgataSerizawa I concur. I think the point we would agree on is that the government cannot enforce a state religion.

I was a little girl when it came out. Such a beautiful loving song. Thank you
I’ve listened to this beautiful ballad since it came out over 60 years ago.
Simply one of the best songs from that era, or ever.

I might even say it's one of the most beautiful songs of ANY era.
True
You are so right. I don’t know why but this song popped back into my mind and I can’t stop listening to it !
Released December 1965. A timeless classic.
Past love lost, I’m pursuing something I’m not sure of . Now I hear this and think of you❤
I think songs like this are a foretaste of the heavenly home we all want to be in when we pass away. Great visuals in this masterpiece from the 1960`s.😊
One of the great songs of all time
Such a beautiful song brings back so many beautiful memories
Butterflies give me a feeling of melloncholly. Just as this beautiful song does. As wonderful today as it has ever been
Reminds me of my childhood. Mom would have it in the AM radio. Now the lyrics have meaning of life events .
“Across my dreams, with nets of wonder…” Amazing lyrics. Great video to go with this beautiful song too.
I recovered this beautiful song half a year ago. And with this video it is still more beautiful.👏
Beautiful video to go with an incredibly beautiful song.
This song is so beautiful it brings tears to my eyes I could remember this song years ago when I was a kid I am ao happy I grew up in the 60 they don't make music like this anymore ❤❤
I remember this song too...
Must agree with you. I was 8 when this was out and it was a big favourite of mine as a kid and still love to hear it today as it brings back great memories.
When I pass. I have asked this be played at my services. My second most favorite song of ALL TIME!
Im having this played at my funeral ! The greatest song ever!
That is a great idea! What is your favorite song?
This beautiful song weeps nostalgia, and a longing for days long ago ❤
Was asked what was my most favorite song of all time, and after thinking about it for a long while this song popped into my head as I had not heard it in years! I found it, revived it for myself, and now I'm glad to see it here. Thank you!
Same here. After many years have saved this on my phone
Always liked this song and with these beautiful women it’s even better!
Yes, absolutely 😍

Some of the most evocative lyrics in music. Even after nearly 60 years…..
The best song ever and some of the most evocative lyrics ever! Reminds me of my childhood and mum and dad and my cousins from connahs quay!

Haha some young chick
Love that song.
the complete version by bob lind is amazing
Omg .This is such a Great song
Have not heard this fffor around 58 years or more & always thought it was Val Doonican. It's moments like this make it fun getting older.
Absolutely love this version. 😊
Beautifull
Same girl with the black hair on Vogues song Turn around look at me 💕🎶 !
You've been watching; and yes, she is the same girl; I can't resist using a beautiful face.
I should also tell you that this song and the Breads song If makes me think of my oldest sister, Joane'. She died in January 2003. Point- don't tell people bad thing about habits, or life styles of the deceased. It hurts their feelings. Have a heart.

Only this remix is dreadful. Tambourine mixed down and very thin snare mixed up.

Butterflies, I remember them.
A surreal masterpiece,both the song and video.May I suggest a video for Wonderful Wonderful by the Tymes?
TV UK family comedy with this as the theme tune.

Best song about stalking i ever heard😂
Good for him.
Nice!!!

Love reading Bob Lind hung out w Charles Bukowski. They were best friends
You might have seen me with heavy breathing. I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love.
Out on the new horizon is only me pursuing something to believe in.
It will not harm you
Across my dreams you left behind.
this my cats song..marshall who is spirit now..
is this all stock footage
Only the butterfly effects
Good luck.

People love you whether rich, or poor. That is what Christmas is all about.
They chase that bright elusive butterfly of love.
The stalking song
Nice video but dreadful remix of the song. The tambourine has been mixed right down and stick-like snare mixed up.
just a bunch of P.T.s ... but very colorful butterflies
