My heartfelt sympathy to you and your sister! My own sister used to get very sad whenever I sang this song as a child. She died utterly unexpectedly as an adult. In any case, I am listening to this song for the first time since childhood (a very long time ago) and my face is simply bathed in tears. (I don't cry too easily.) My heart goes out to you and your sister ❤❤
One of my first memories is from this son, especially "a dragon lives forever but not so little boys," which is partly why I first understood I will die someday
People act like just because it was strongly understood in the 60s and yet here we still are, that it isn't still the answer, always will be, but the dream keeps going because the work still goes on.
I was three. I had small red phonograph and played nothing but puff the Magic Dragon over and over again. I saw them in the 90's and felt the same experience. And now i listen at the other end of life and feel the three year old.
We were so blessed to be raised with such gentleness and beauty. Boomers and gen x were given gifts. Those that understood these gifts helped heal the world. The bad ones get a lot of scorn, but they never had much of a chance.
To. Me. Peter Paul and Mary are the greatest folk singers of my time. I grew up listening to there music I don't care ur age this music is the best. It is relaxing and. I sing along to it Mary was a great lady she is missed dearly John 3. 16-17 I hope and pray feature generations can listing to what we can now 🙏 A fan for life. God bless. Peter Paul and Mary And there. Families always From joey
Some of my first memories in the 80s was of this song. I remember the part where little boys don't live forever reminded me I was going to die someday.
That is a profoundly sad song. Anyone who dropped a son off far away at college -- there are worse scenarios -- can relate. Even when you hang out with the adult boy he is still not there anymore. The worse scenarios are, well, worse. I feel like the dragon. I lost my swagger. I hope the dragon in the song gets his mojo back. Maybe finds another little boy.
Puff the magic dragon Dragon Lived by the sea Great song. Yeah, one of my favorites. Who would've thought it wasn't really about a dragon, huh? [Chuckling] What do you mean? [Continues] You know, the whole drug thing. No, I don't know. Why don't you tell me? Some people think that... to "puff the magic dragon" means to-- They're really, uh-- to smoke-- to smoke-- a marijuana cigarette. Well, Puff's just the name of the boy's magical dragon. Right. Are you a pothead, Focker? No! No. What? No, no, no, no, Jack. No, I'm-- I'm not-- I-- I pass on grass all the time. I mean, not all the time. Yes or no, Greg? No. Yes. No.
Little Jackie invented Puff as an imaginary friend. Jackie forgot about Puff as he grew older and moved on to real toys. Then he became a Cub Scout, Boy Scout, and Eagle's. Ref Toy Story, Calvin and Hobbs with his stuffed but alive tiger friend. A song that still brings tears to this dad's eyes.
La première fois que j'ai entendu cette chanson, c'était vers le milieu des années 70 quand j'étais jeune, mais maintenant, quand je lis la description sur Namu Wiki, il est dit que c'est une chanson de 1963... La chanson ne nous fait pas perdre nos souvenirs d'enfance, mais quoi qui fait durer nos souvenirs, c'est que cette chanson est une chanson folk de niveau mondial. Est-ce à cause de cela que je l'écoutais de temps en temps, mais en l'écoutant aujourd'hui, je pense que la chanson est une des joies qui transcende les frontières et touche le cœur de chacun. 제가 어린 시절 들었을 때가 70년대 중반쯤이라고 생각 되는 데, 지금 나무위키 설명 읽어보니 1963년 곡이라고 하네요...노래는 동심 포함 기억을 잃는 것이 아니라 기억을 지속 시켜 주는 것은 이 노래가 국민 가요급 포크송이라 그럴까요??가끔씩 들어보긴 하였지만 오늘 들어보니 노래는 국경을 초월한 모든 사람의 마음을 움직이는 기쁨 중 하나인 것 같습니다.
I think of this song when my younger Brother died at 19. My Sister and I missed out on his wonderful full life

One of the first songs i can remember from childhood. Purple cave❤
This is the folk equivalent of "Comfortably Numb", so beautiful, tears every time for a young life left long ago in some half-forgotten memory.
A great song from my childhood my mother must've introduced me to it. Some great memories tied to this
same my friend
Yep. I remember that song being played in primary school by Miss Milligan, the music teacher in the 1960s.
To. Me. Peter Paul and Mary are the greatest folk singers of my time. I grew up listening to there music

フォーク全盛の頃は、世の中が弾んでいた。我々は、高校生だったんだ。
Sweet. Still love this song
Well, I’m still friends with my dragon and I’m 49. Did Peter, Paul and Mary do a folk song about arrested development?
everybody else's memories:
mine: being 10 and smoking with my dad while he played this in the desert
❤🎉❤
Listen to the harmonising
Puff the magic dragon Dragon
Lived by the sea
Great song. Yeah, one of my favorites.
Who would've thought it wasn't really about a dragon, huh?
[Chuckling] What do you mean?
[Continues]
You know, the whole drug thing.
No, I don't know. Why don't you tell me?
Some people think that...
to "puff the magic dragon" means to--
They're really, uh--
to smoke-- to smoke--
a marijuana cigarette.
Well, Puff's just the name of the boy's magical dragon.
Right.
Are you a pothead, Focker? No! No.
What? No, no, no, no, Jack. No, I'm-- I'm not-- I--
I pass on grass all the time.

Hallo...wurde mal erzählt es geht ums Kiffen

Growing up and losing innocence and joining the shite real world, that’s what it is all about.

제가 어린 시절 들었을 때가 70년대 중반쯤이라고 생각 되는 데, 지금 나무위키 설명 읽어보니 1963년 곡이라고 하네요...노래는 동심 포함 기억을 잃는 것이 아니라 기억을 지속 시켜 주는 것은 이 노래가 국민 가요급 포크송이라 그럴까요??가끔씩 들어보긴 하였지만 오늘 들어보니 노래는 국경을 초월한 모든 사람의 마음을 움직이는 기쁨 중 하나인 것 같습니다.
