As far as I'm concerned this is New England's official song. I miss my beloved New Hampshire, the land where I was born.
Hello brother, I agree.
I'm from California but its been my dream to live there
Mainer here living in France. I dance/cry to this song sometimes.
For some reason I just love this song. And Jonathan (whom I saw LIVE at Kolingsborg, Stockhom, Sweden in the early 80's.).
Leaving for Califor after living my whole 42 year old life here.
This really helped
is that bernie sanders?
New England best England
amen
Been out west a while now for work, and sure it’s been nice seeing the country, but I can feel it in my bones. I need to get home to Massachusetts. The route I’ll be taking means I’ll be passing through Connecticut. And thats fine. Just need to feel our region again. I’m sure any one from New England gets me
As a fellow Masshole I definitely know what you mean
Yeh
If you grew up here this video is 100% concentrated nostalgia lol.
unlike any other place in the country. i've been all over, and i could never live anywhere else1
Not a native, but I’ve lived here for five years and I adore it. 😊
"sweet caroline" when this has been sitting and simmering?
New England needs to wake up a bit.
I thought that dude at the beginning was trying to draw a circle around New England on the map, and it seemed pretty savage that he counts Vermont out right from the start
Pretty much missed Maine too
From Acton Massachusetts. This song has always made me miss my childhood. Not far from Natick, where Hippy Johnny lived. If it’s finally safe next year, I’m dying to sit on a beach on the cape, and fucking blast this record
Oh my god I love Jonathan Richman!
one of my favorite chants we use during New England Revolution games
I'm an economic exile - I live down South because I can't afford my home Boston. Sad.
my teacher played this in social studies today lmao
Every time I go to New England, I sing this song--it's catchy. Your teacher sounds fun.
captiveww yeah it IS very catchy. and yeah most of the time
Lets all love our Brother Jonathan! :)
Went to see JR in the cavern , liverpool @ 1978, . Before the show he was talking and dancing, with the audience,. A very nice and talented man !!! ( yes he had a new shirt on !!!)
The Mt Cranmore Skimobile! Outstanding.
My God do I ever love New England.
heard this during the intermission at the tmbg show i was at this week, so catchy….

I love a beautuful girl. Her name is Jennifer. And she is something else!
This makes me so happy.
Which lighthouse is that?
Portland Headlight.
It’s in Cape Elizabeth, Maine.
Fun fact: Maine is older than Israel by 128 years. 1:08
But the Jews called it home for over 5,000 years.

What you're talking about (making this song the national anthem of New England after it breaks away from the union) is the premise of a song by my band The Very Most. Search for "The Very Most Jonathan Richman" since youtube won't let me put a link in.
Ooh. I like that!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Orchard's Stone soup
Let me tell ya bout a thing called love
Oh OLD England 🏴
I'll never forget what I have seen here today. Who can I sue.
@suzannalcooper Well, hi! Have you seen your grandfather's movies on the Archive? They get shown around at home-movie festivals too. I'm glad you like the video. Your grandfather obviously has great love for the medium and it shows.
@gbien thumbs up for Tdot
This is the song I listen to when I'm homesick. Thank you for a very nice video to go with it.
First time I heard this song in almost 40 years still sounds wacky American I am from old England we still have a queen play cricket not baseball it great reason to sit in the sun and drink beer for a few days at a time
@Theohiofishing, the ska version is Big D and the Kids Table
There is an insanely good mashup of this song.
Josh Done got a link?
I have Barstows in my family, but not since the early 1700's. When I'm homesick, this is my go to song, and this is the youtube version I love the best.
@TheOhioFishing Big D and the Kids Table
Honestly I smiled through this whole video and I love this but Big D and the Kids Table did it better but ig that’s just cuz i like the modern type of music better.
Big D And The Kids Table's cover was better
Where's all New England's black folks?!
Connecticut is 12%, Mass 9%, RI 8% black. Not atypical from the national picture. If you're asking about Vermont, Maine and New Hampshire, maybe poll people instead and ask them why they don't want to live in sparse, mountainous, freezing towns.
I grew up in Maine, and yes it's true that there are very few black folks here. But I don't think it's prejudice, it seems to more a matter of circumstance.
For one thing we never had slaves. In fact Maine was one of the leaders in the abolitionist movement. Hannibal Hamlin (Lincoln's VP) was from Maine, and actually much more vehement than Lincoln on that mater.
To partly answer your question though, growing up we had a black friend who lived here. But he moved away, he said because living here was very isolating for black folks.
He said that Maine people were very nice, but his whole family missed having a community of black friends that they could relax and settle down with. They always felt a bit "on guard" here, like they had to watch what they did and said.
I understand that feeling, very well. I've lived all over too (England, Texas, Japan, Peru, etc) and having to explain every comment does become wearisome. It's comforting to simply be understood, without a need for clarifying the context.
@@UdReks new england is the most segregated part of the country, I grew up in CT and I didn't have a black classmate until high school in the neighboring town where there was a navy base, even the ct entry on wikipedia mentuions the segregation in ct. it's like that in ma and ri too. 90% or more of black population in ri is in central falls, parts of providence. also a lot of blacks in ri are from cape verde or brazilian due to the portuguese here. blacks in mass are in boston or springfield area. virtually none west of springfield or boston suburbs like burlington, natick etc..none on the cape. again, all concentrated in a few cities, so no to not being atypical, new england is very unlike the rest of the country. esp regarding race, ethnicity and religions. we still have italian, irish, wasp and jewish neighborhoods and towns. you don't find that much of that outside the north east
It’s kind of fucked up how great this song is
