- Brothers Four sing one of their most successful songs. (rights secured). Along with "Green Fields" this song secured The Brothers Four's place in popular folk music. This song was nominated for an Academy Award.
I have been young and now am old. This song and other reflective ballads bring floods of bittersweet memories, emotions, thoughts. How strange this life the great creator has endowed us with. For the fullest meaning of existence come to him, read his book the Bible and follow the instructions to bow before the son he sent. Life is meant to be lived toward him.
Excellent, eventually it’s very meaningful!

Thank you Frank for the beautiful comment. This is one of the most sumptuous pieces of music ever written and these singers do it justice.
Frank Jennings, I bet you are only old on the outside. The mind is young still. Your words are correct. Folks who want the best life they can have will ONLY find it in Jesus Christ. 😊🙏🏻💜
I was eight in 1960. First time when I heard this song, tears came up to my eyes. I was a little thin Japanese boy. I couldn't understand the words but I surely felt very sad. I still listen to this song.
😙😊
I was 5
I was 8 too.
I wanted to write the same thing
I also had 8! And I love this song performed by the brother s four
thank God i belong to the baby boomer generation born 1958 listening to beautiful music such as this... twas so good be young then...
My mother bought the LP at least 60 years ago -- maybe because we were 4 brothers, no sisters. An Afrikaans familie in Bloemfontein, South Africa. I'm 70.
Music by Dimitri Tiomkin, lyrics by Paul Francis Webster.
A time to be reapin', a time to be sowin', the green leaves of summer are callin' me home
'Twas so good to be young then in the season of plenty, when the catfish were jumpin' as high as the sky
A time just for plantin', a time just for ploughin', a time to be courtin' a girl of your own
'Twas so good to be young then, to be close to the earth, and to stand by your wife at the moment of birth
A time to be reapin', a time to be sowin', a time just for livin', a place for to die
'Twas so good to be young then, to be close to the earth, now the green leaves of summer are callin' me home
Thanks for posting!
As someone who just turned the age of 70, well, I can relate in such a meaningful way to this song. The Brothers Four were a fantastic group of very talented musicians and performers. God bless them and God bless us all.

This song was written by Francis Weber, and the music was composed by Dimitry Tiomkin. We also have to give credit to the "Brothers Four" for their talent in bringing out the best in this song.
Music to its purest form
Speechless,,, this band is so wonderful.. full of soul.. just listening to the song is just, your taking you back from the past.. where everything's not complicated..
Music is life Music gives us healthy feelings closest to our environmental natural life living
Rai things were simpler then.
This song has remained in my mind to this day. I was young then...
The Brothers Four are a part of American legend now !!!!!!
I could listen to your beautiful singing forever... Thank you, guys.
I heard them sing this song at the Univ of Buffalo, NY Clark gym around May 1961- and almost everyone was getting read to go home for the summer - and sure enough, the green leaves of summer were calling all those students home.....
That song still gives me goosebumps. Love your music guys.
It was good to be young then, to be close to the earth...
God they took me back to my teens, it felt so good to my ears, mind u I am 70 years old
Green leaves of summer,Greenfields,Summertime ,fish are jumpin and the cotton is high!
Bravo muchachos. Bravisimo verlos juntos. Me da tanto gusto saber de uds y escuchar esta musica de manera directa de parte de uds. Es gratificante escuchar estas melodias en estos tiempos tan convulsionados..bendiciones a todos uds.
STILL ONE of the great songs in 2019.
To Mark: The Alamo is my husband's favorite movie, and this song is my all-time favorite! We grew up in the 60's in Southern California. Thanks for bringing so much joy to generations of people with your music, you have a true gift! Love you lots! Blessings to you and your group!
My Lovely and favourite song,Thank You Brothers Four very Lovely Song!!
It was so good to be young there! Yes it was!
Since I was a child, living in the interior of Minas Gerais (Brazil), I saw my father listening or even humming these songs. Today, they are part not only of history, but of people's souls. It brings longing, peace, breath! (Agnelo Neto-Jornalista)
Sou de Minas também (Muzambinho). Não tenho a sua mesma história em termos de conexão com esse grupo. Mas o Mineiro sabe o q é bom, e o que é bom... Sempre chamará o mineiro. Abraços!
I heard the song some 50 years ago.It is still ringing green in my ears!A deathless song.
Wo... wo...
A time to be reaping
A time to be sowing
The green leaves of summer
Are calling me home "
Twas so good to be young then
In the season of plenty
When the catfish were jumping
As high as the sky
A time just for planting
A time just for ploughing
A time to be courting
A girl of your own "
Twas so good to be young then
To be close to the earth
And to stand by your wife
At the moment of birth, wo...
A time to be reaping
A time to be sowing
A time just for living
A place for to die "
Twas so good to be young then
To be close to the earth
Now the green leaves of summer
Are calling me home "
Twas so good to be young then
To be close to the earth
Now the green leaves of summer
Are calling me home

This music went on all during "The Alamo" with John Wayne. Beautiful tun and lyrics.
Brings me tears and memories of my high school days - those happy, innocent, care-fee days...
I feel the same, beautiful memories ! I was a happy child, as happy as I feel now.
Bons tempos,...good times!
Yes indeed .
Same here.I'm so emotional.
For me it reminds me of Once upon a time... in Nazi occupied France
I feel like going back to the countryside where I really experienced summer ( also rain… bathing in the rain, hearing thunder). Now I’m holed up in a city apartment. I don’t experience and feel the change of seasons.
It evokes my college days even after decades.Such a simple and lovely song by Bros 4.It will be carried by me till death.
I have loved this song since I was a teen. I love all their music. I wish we still had this type of music.
I'll never 4get it, as a young man seeing the lady n kids leave the 'Alamo', with this song as background score, everyone was quiet, in tears

I saw the Brothers Four at the Clark Gym at what was the University of Buffalo NY in the Spring of 1961 - just as the students were getting ready to graduate and go home, the Green Leaves of Summer are calling me (and them) Home..... You could hear the tears as they sang this beautiful song..... Truly 'was so good to be young then.....'
This song will always be Pure Gold.
You’re all great singers even at this stage of your life! God bless you in your journey.Hope there would be another group of young men to follow your name! Thank you for those wonderful songs!
Je mets cette très belle mélodie dans le top cinq des plus belles du Monde 🎶🎶
In my youth I had growing up with this song in my ear every day and every day
Thank you for the performance
Of all the Brothers Four songs, this is my favorite because while it is haunting, it reminds me that I do not have much time to enjoy the green leaves of summer..
One My favorite songs of all time.
Not to worry Gus, we're like wine get better with time.
Tears in my eyes, everytime i heard thise song.
mine will always be Greensleeves still to me one of the two most beautiful pieces of music
Time does indeed goes so fast. Now. I am in the winter of my years.
I never saw the movie but I heard this beautiful haunting song when I was a youngster, possibly 60 years ago. I still love it and makes me think of young innocent years back home playing with my schoolmates during recess times. What memories it evokes even now. Thank you for keeping it alive😍
so love their harmonies. wish i could have seen them in person. and LOVE those Martin guitars
I remember when I saw the Alamo as a child and this song really hit me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you like this then I promise you faithfully that you will enjoy The Seekers, now also in their twighlight years.
This is so nostalgic, it brings tears to my eyes.

I grew up hearing the Brothers Four, on TV, radio, and especially the Firestone Christmas albums.
Trying not to be an old fogey here. But so much popular music in the mid 60s was GOOD music.
Old songs are complete package to reminisce the past. Still love listening to it. Though many new songs are composed still it cannot match the meaningful messages of old songs.
Wonderful song.. Such real memories.
The song reminds me of my childhood.
One of the most beautiful songs that is eternal..
I first heard this classic song about 1974, when I was 7. I grew up and became a cinephile, fan of classic movies too, especially John Wayne's ones and westerns. Now, I am remembering this track is from The Alamo. Excellent!
안녕하세요! 반갑습니다!!! 좋습니다!!! GOOD!!!
Listen agian.It is 2021.
Good music can link up any age any time.
I miss my mom this song shes in heaven now
So beautiful and so SAD. 🥺. 👍🎉

What a blessing to see them singing in 2020. I've been listening them since 1990.

Can't describe how touchy is it for my memories... Thanks a lot for everyone, singers, composer and poetry... there is always a place in my heart to you, guys...
I missed my Dad. This music fed my childhood with sweet memories and his embrace. I miss you so much papa. I love you. Yes my tears shed when i listen to this song, the song that reminds me of you.

I had been living in a different country for 2 years when I heard this song. Made me long for the honmeland as I wanted the familiar things I had grown up with to be around me once again.

When I turned 5 or 6 The Brothers Four performed at my Dad's Elks Club. (1967 or '68) Dad went to school or grew up with Dick Foley. Mr. Foley and the Brothers Four sang me happy birthday! That I will never forget! Dad passed away too early & I don't remember whether they went to school or grew up together. We owned that first album from the beginning though & I loved it!!
A neat story and fine memory. If the performance you are referring to was at the Lake City Elks (in North Seattle) then it was the first performance I did as a member of the Brothers Four. A special memory for me as well.
@@MarkPearsonMusic Well now I need to thank you for jogging MY memory! Yes, it was the Lake City Elks! We lived in Brier, WA, but we spent tons of time in Kenmore, Lake City, etc. There MIGHT be a picture somewhere. If I find it I’ll be sure to send through the website! So happy you’re still performing!
@@carrikeaton3724 What a neat memory to share with you...if you do find photos please share them.
