If it weren't for UA-cam I'd still be in the dark, hidden from the privilege of hearing Joan Baez's voice. Thank you for the upload and for further expanding my collection of music.
I'm also a collector of old music Can u send me some links Of old songs I have collection of old English Old Tamil old Bengali and few Spanish and french songs And other old instrumental complex music from around the globe
A lot of Joan's early folk music recordings were of Child ballads, a collection of over 300 English and Scottish traditional ballads and their American variants that were anthologized by Francis James Child in the latter half of the nineteenth century. Her mother was born in Scotland and her father in Mexico, so she heard a lot of European and Latin American folk music in her youth.
Dam this takes me back - in my 70's now and this brings a tear to my eye; how youth is lost on the young! My mind is still young, my memories fresh, the body is weak. Joan was so inspiring and her voice was like that of an angel. thank you for the wonderful memories.
Joanie was my first crush, her social comment opened my mind and heart...60 yrs later she is still my unrequited love and brings a tear to the eye when I hear her sing
I’m in my late 60’s so I also have more miles behind than in front. Youth is not wasted or lost on the young, I don’t think. It just takes its absence to be fully appreciated. Joan was and is an inspirational person with a heavenly voice!
Have you heard her rendition of House of the Rising Sun? Her singing there is the most beautiful I've ever heard. But it makes the song almost too painful to appreciate.
Nobody who never listened to Joan Baez before is prepared for that voice. Joans voice is so incredibly clear and soft, yet it hits you like a hammer when you hear it for the first time. It still gives me goosebumps after all these years.
The song was written by railway construction workers and became a folk sensation. It came to limelight in the music industry with the original covers later... However, the beauty of the song is not just in the haunting melody but the 500 miles symbolizes so much more than just a journey it a place away from home.. It's the loss and sadness if being separated from the supreme being... It is an echo of the pain every person feels when away from home. It is a song that invariably, particularly with Joan's voice accompanied with her shy smile never fails to bring tears... That that are a mix of sadness and of beauty at the same time, of longing and melancholy along with hope at the same time...Joan, you're so beautiful and your singing so angelic that I can just feel blessed seeing and hearing you. You're cleared and thank you for blessing is with your renditions..
Hedy West wrote this song... I learned it from my amazing girl scout camp leaders... already a folk song. Look her up, she is the real deal. Joanie's voice is pure gold.
Thank you for sharing this background, Em. It helps me understand just why this song, out of all the countless ones I saw in concert during the 60s, is such a standout ... for its honesty and purity of integrity. It indeed speaks to the universal human condition, of yearning for our Heavenly home! This is a classic - and you've helped me know why! Bravo and thank you!!!
'a mix of sadness and of beauty at the same time, of longing and melancholy along with hope at the same time' spot on, all the best music has this factor imo, and there's a lot of it to be found in renditions of country, blues and other folk music
I wonder if you heard her song in 1971 - The Song of Bangladesh - it's hauntingly beautiful and the history behind it is so sad. The song is on UA-cam. Research the history behind the song.
I miss my childhood when my music teacher used to sing this song 😢 wish i could turn back time to those beautiful days no internet no smart phones just beautiful dayss
Joan is the reason I went to Woodstock. I wanted to hear her sing this song live. Now this beautiful song is my deceased son, Paul, singing it to me from 500 Miles away.
my mother loved Joan too. Wish I'd played some of Joan's music before she passed. Still miss her. I'm not certain, but I think we may have seen her live when I was little. A shame I was too young to appreciate it.
@@recoveringsoul755 I really wish u all the strength you'll ever need in life and hope that you can maybe see her again one day. Greetings from Germany
I’m from Nepal and today January 17th 2024. I heard it for the first time just yesterday and I’m loving to hear it repeatedly again and again. Today is day when I tied knot of my life with my better half . I wish whenever we see back this message it will bring smile on our face ❤️❤️
I'm Indian .. my english teacher sing this song for us and teaches us when I'm in 3rd standard 🤗now I'm in my master's and suddenly find the archives related to the song. ...reminds me of good old days
My dad used to sing this to me as a kid. He was really young when he left his parents to study abroad before he and my mom brought our family to the US and I remember as a kid thinking that my dad wrote this song because of how much he would sing it and how it related to his life that he would tell us about any chance he got. This song really brings back memories that I nearly forgot and I’m sure my dad will eventually forget too but for now I’m glad we got to share memories this song brings us.
@@harleyquiinnnn I try my best to explain. In those tough times (1960s'), folk songs were "good medicine" for the souls of people. To my knowledge, she, Joan Baez, was one of the “ stars" at that time. "Her contemporary folk music often includes songs of protest or social justice." (quoted from the web). Still, she cares about her country for the present time. I don't know whether there is anyone like her in the “ singing industry worldwide" nowadays. So, I said she was the gift for the generation of 1960s.
Everything is so genuine and raw ...the audience has no phones or camera to get themselves distracted, but where all 100% engaged..so unlike today! So touching😥.
I am over 70 and was lucky that I lived in the sixties and fell in love with rock and roll, those were the days yet with very sweet memories plus lots of beautiful music with meaningful. thanks.
When I was 20 years old, I had a chance to stay inn the U.S. My room mate, Debbie used to sing Joan Baez' songs,I t was a sort of culture shock at that time but still now ,75 of age, her songs returns to my mind again. I would like to sing songs a again , now ,when we human is facing war here and there. yasuko
Da-nos a impressão de que ela se basta a si propria, cantando...sua voz e um violão. Seu magnético encantamento nos leva a flutuar em poucos minutos de nostalgia...incomparável JB!
I feel privileged to be alive. If I weren't, how would I have heard Joan Baez? Her voice seems to be coming from heavens, each note like a raindrop, her breath like breeze.

The tone of her voice and appearance reminds me a lot of my mother. She loved that song and she was... tone-deaf, not that she would ever admit that. Once she was a teen living under a dictatorship, attending an American HS -where she probably listened to this song for the first time-, and then going abroad for uni. So yeah.. she loved that song...
+George Vreeland Hill i am so happy that you say "one of the best...." we are so fortunate to be able to access many versions of great songs and singers and in most cases there aren't definitive versions.... and for the record I do think she has a wonderful voice...
Heard this song 50 years ago. Today hearing it again (the LPs, CDs, DVDs are long gone). Baez is as beautiful and relevant, maybe more, than ever. Proof of the everlasting presence of how we feel and express from the heart. Joan, may you and your songs live forever in the hearts of humankind.
it's fathers day... joan baez was my fathers favorite musician. when i started playing the guitar, he always told me how she taught herself. he died of cancer 4 years ago, when i was 15. now i'm twenty. i can't buy my father a "best dad" mug today but i can listen to this and think of him
Oh my God, what a song. Whenever I listen to this song my whole childhood and teenage is recalled instantly in my mind. I simply love the beautiful and gorgeous voice and lyrics. I simply get goosebumps whenever I listen to this.
You shaped generations with your music and your courage. Thank you. Unfortunately, many has seemed to have forgotten your philosophy of peace and justice. I am lucky to say I have not and still use your music to inspire and motivate me to continue to fight for what is right. Bless you Joan!
@@remojacob8016 Ah yes ... that indeed is the right question, Remo! Be receptive rather than presume to say what it is, and God will send you the answer ... when you're not expecting it! It happened just that way to me. But I couldn't "figure out" what was right - that was quite beyond me. Receiving wisdom, answers ... that's where it comes. Of course, we seek, but then we wait to be given the Answer. God be with you, my friend. And thanks for asking the right question! I admire you very much for that!
Que voz linda possui Joan Baez! De quantas nuances sua voz é capaz! É impressionante! Uma das maiores cantoras de que o mundo já teve notícia. E ela continua na ativa até hoje. Que bom !!!
Thank you You Tube. I had forgotten a lot of the old songs and singers without you. Who ever came up with the ideal off You Tube. thank you so very much.
if you miss the train i'm on you will know that i am gone, you can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles, a hundred miles,a hundred miles... Lord i can't go on this way...
+flip benzoni Well I'm walking down this track I've got tears in my eyes. Trying to read a letter from my home. And if this train runs me right I'll be home next Saturday night Now I'm 500 miles away from home.
I was a huge Joan Baez fan back in the 60s, I had all her albums and would sit in my room listening to her songs for hours on end. She had the perfect voice for folk music, it was almost like a mystical magic how her singing captured the dark corners of my soul. I got the chance to see Dylan in concert in 1965, I only wish I had the opportunity to see a Joan Baez concert in person... That would've been my finest hour.
I saw her twice. Once at the Chicago Auditorium with no amplification and we were up in the nose bleed section. It was like she was sitting next to me . Crystal clear beautiful voice.
My parents used to play her albums on a long play record machine, and I growp up listening to her songs. Incredible voice and honest performances, God bless Joan!!
What a beautiful song this is. And very beautiful singer she is. Thank you very much nice song. I'm 64 years old, japanese. Have a nice day. 2021.3.31 Today is cloudy. But i'm so happy.
The song actually is an old folk song with no *clear* indication as to who first penned the song. Also, Rajesh Roshan wasn't the first to get inspired, sample, or steal (however one may put it). The song has been re-recorded in many different languages by many different artists in many different countries.
The perfect voice for her generation. I idolized this woman in the sixties. I can't think of anyone today who captures the spirit of the times as she did.

I am Japanese. So I don't know much English. But this song reminds me of my hometown and old days. I am very happy to know such a wonderful song.

Of old songs
I have collection of old English
Old Tamil old Bengali and few Spanish and french songs

This is fact, I’ve been introduced to bluegrass, Old Blues, Jazz, now I found this. 👍

In Canada, of course, this song is called 805 kilometres.

No that is typical of the youth of the sixty. They were not out of control.
The song is a prayer ... head my dead mum sing it all day... now i get it😭
For those in their teens or early twenties seeing the odd view of the audiences of those times. See any blak faces?
She is a most beautiful person: eyes, voice, and soul. I love her.
Every generation produces a very special person, Joan is ours.
One of the most beautiful women to ever exist inside and out
Me too ❤
Immer noch eine tolle Frau
Superlative degree of comparison

Funny I just heard her tonight for the first time in my life. I would say your description is accurate.
True that, sir..
I never knew who she was, first time hearing her here, and agree with you completely. What a a voice.
It's a little lower now but she still sounds really good at 81
This is my first time listening to her and she brought tears to my eyes beautiful
That audience was awesome. Great backup

Born in "42". I was blessed to have lived in the 60's and 70's. A time of innocence and love. Today seems to be division and hate.

Can we all appreciate two things:
1. Her British accent at the beginning
2. How gorgeously polite she is to her audience
I'm guessing she was having fun with the audience, trying to sound like them
3. She sung really well
Yes, that British (well, English) accent surprised me.

did y'all go on a date afterwards?
God send an angel from heaven to sing for us humans. So beautiful.
What a divine performance

I agree as a kid myself 💯
This song appeared in 1961 😮❤
That vibrato and vocal range. Jeesh, what music they had way back when.
Indeed. The vibrato is almost perfect, especially in the high pitches. Combined with the deeper background audience, it forms a beautiful composition.
That was and still is her extraordinary range. My God I love her.
You Should Really listen to Lata Mangeshkar songs for vibrato n tunes
Not a shirt on my back
Not a penny to my name
Moves me to tears always to hear Joan singing this song.
Touches a melancholic cord in me.
I think these two sentences are the most heart-stirring part of the song,just too helpless and too sorrowful.
her voice always make my eyes watery. its not a feeling of sorrow nor happiness, but just intensity and depth.
Me too
Those are the best songs, neither happy or sad, just moving.
What a beautiful description
Yeah... Damn I am in a real state after that 😂 totally burst out crying

that is what I said about her voice, long ago , I agree, Dennis Satterfield
I'm literally crying ryt now. Ohhhh god !! I miss my old days... My Childhood . Wish it comes back 😢😢
Lord I'm 7,500 miles from home ....
Amazing voice, stunning character, simple but heartfelt words...
11000 miles from home
Heard this song 50 years ago. Today hearing it again (the LPs, CDs, DVDs are long gone). Baez is as beautiful and relevant, maybe more, than ever. Proof of the everlasting presence of how we feel and express from the heart. Joan, may you and your songs live forever in the hearts of humankind.
it's fathers day... joan baez was my fathers favorite musician. when i started playing the guitar, he always told me how she taught herself. he died of cancer 4 years ago, when i was 15. now i'm twenty. i can't buy my father a "best dad" mug today but i can listen to this and think of him
This is so heart felt. Stay strong .
Merci pour ta voix sublime...inoubliable...😍
Oh my God, what a song. Whenever I listen to this song my whole childhood and teenage is recalled instantly in my mind. I simply love the beautiful and gorgeous voice and lyrics. I simply get goosebumps whenever I listen to this.
You shaped generations with your music and your courage. Thank you. Unfortunately, many has seemed to have forgotten your philosophy of peace and justice. I am lucky to say I have not and still use your music to inspire and motivate me to continue to fight for what is right. Bless you Joan!
What is right?! @Jackson How
@@remojacob8016 Ah yes ... that indeed is the right question, Remo! Be receptive rather than presume to say what it is, and God will send you the answer ... when you're not expecting it! It happened just that way to me. But I couldn't "figure out" what was right - that was quite beyond me. Receiving wisdom, answers ... that's where it comes. Of course, we seek, but then we wait to be given the Answer. God be with you, my friend. And thanks for asking the right question! I admire you very much for that!
Que voz linda possui Joan Baez! De quantas nuances sua voz é capaz! É impressionante! Uma das maiores cantoras de que o mundo já teve notícia. E ela continua na ativa até hoje. Que bom !!!
Thank you You Tube. I had forgotten a lot of the old songs and singers without you. Who ever came up with the ideal off You Tube. thank you so very much.
Eu gostaria de ouvir tudo da Joan....eu ouvi há uns 20 anos atrás e sentia saudade...hoje estou feliz de mais uma vez ouvir

Well I'm walking down this track
I've got tears in my eyes.
Trying to read a letter from my home.
And if this train runs me right I'll be home next Saturday night
Now I'm 500 miles away from home.
oh my that voice is so devastatingly beautiful. brought tears to my eyes. such a beautiful song
This song has soul and says so many things in few lines. Her voice is angelic and melancholic. I cant stop playing it again and again.
Lost my brother this year.... This song is for you Brother 😘
I was a huge Joan Baez fan back in the 60s, I had all her albums and would sit in my room listening to her songs for hours on end. She had the perfect voice for folk music, it was almost like a mystical magic how her singing captured the dark corners of my soul. I got the chance to see Dylan in concert in 1965, I only wish I had the opportunity to see a Joan Baez concert in person... That would've been my finest hour.
I saw her twice. Once at the Chicago Auditorium with no amplification and we were up in the nose bleed section. It was like she was sitting next to me . Crystal clear beautiful voice.
This has brought back strong evocative memories of my childhood, going back 53 odd years. Much love, Joan Baez. 🌹❤️
Such a beautiful voice, she never really got the recognition she deserved. Beautiful.
My parents used to play her albums on a long play record machine, and I growp up listening to her songs. Incredible voice and honest performances, God bless Joan!!
Her voice has an almost ethereal quality to it just gorgeous
This has gotta be the best version I’ve ever heard, and that is saying something
I found that too.
I am an Indian, back in school they used to make us sing this song for music class! mannn this brings so many memories!!😭❤
What Tribe or Nation?
One of the most beautiful voices I’ve ever heard, always a favourite
the sound of the guitar is quite well matched with Joan's songs which is so beautiful,pure and innocent
What a beautiful song this is. And very beautiful singer she is. Thank you very much nice song. I'm 64 years old, japanese. Have a nice day. 2021.3.31 Today is cloudy. But i'm so happy.
Used to live abroad for 14 yrs. I’m back in my beautiful country and came back to life. No loneliness is too small!
Made me cry when I heard it decades ago. Still does.
Just an artist, her guitar and a timeless gem. This is just pure 💎
June 5, 1965, BBC Television Theatre, Shepherd's Bush, London
Thanks for the date. I saw her in 1964 in Forrest Hills, NY. I was shocked to see this, knowing it was from that time.
Thanks
Veronica Tedderson she had just turned 24 the previous January. 78 now in 2019...beautiful voice!
would have to be a BBC show, LOL, probably the only time she performed to an audience in suits and ties !
Jimi page woz ere
Her voice is so incredibly clear and soft.
You know the song Jab koi bat right they cheated the song
@Stainless Steel I can't get what are you saying
@Stainless Steel Kumar Sanu cheated from them
@Stainless Steel he wanted to say a Bollywood song is made copying the tune of this 500 miles song.
The song actually is an old folk song with no *clear* indication as to who first penned the song. Also, Rajesh Roshan wasn't the first to get inspired, sample, or steal (however one may put it). The song has been re-recorded in many different languages by many different artists in many different countries.
I am one of the audience who are listening her so patiently🥰 sitting there...
The perfect voice for her generation. I idolized this woman in the sixties. I can't think of anyone today who captures the spirit of the times as she did.
The voice can bring in tears even those who don't understand the language 😊🫶
In her eyes, I see sadness and honesty
No auto tune. All raw. That's talent.
indeed
