Ohhh Sarah, this brought me back to when I was 16 and still an idealist. I never gave up on my ideals, but I learned over the decades that life sometimes has other plans. This touched me deeply, my thanks as always. 😇😊🌹🌹🤩
Wow. This song holds so much power of survival. The power of no one can change my believes of of what I believe. Thank you Sarah . Also thanks for this request. Never doubt your heart.
Great reaction, Sarah!! You always do such an amazing job of feeling the music you listen to!!!! And yes, The Coven did a nice job of covering this song as it was featured in the Billy Jack film in 1971, but the BEST version of the song is from 1969 by the Canadian band called The Original Caste, who also wrote the song with its simple yet powerful message, so props to them as well!!
I will always love this song version. Jinx Dawson was the perfect singer made for it and she covered it for the movie and Coven released it as a single. Billy Jack the movie has and still is a favorite classic movie I could watch over and over again. Rest In Peace Tom Laughlin. You will always be the One Tin Soldier. Peace on Earth is all it said!
I remember this song; it was played on the radio all the time! But I didn’t know it was from a movie and I’ve never seen Billy Jack. I’ll have to look it up and see what it’s all about. 😊
It's hard to believe but the woman who sings this, (Jinx Dawson - pictured) usually sings songs revolving around satanism and witchcraft. The song was the theme song from the movie Billy Jack, though now dated held a pretty powerful message back in the day. Nice reaction and great tune!
great reaction Sarah Dengler, check the movie Billy Jack out, where the origianl song comes from...Billy Jack was a native American counter-culture leader from the early 1970's here in USA, defended the weak and powerless and for peace and against war, One Love, One Family...the movie is awesome and Billy Jack was huge..
Please react to another big hit song of that same time frame, Indian Reservation by Paul Revere and the Raiders. About the plight of Cherokee Indians in the US.
There was a Canadian version of this song by the group called The Original Cast, which, IMHO, is better. I may have this opinion because it was the version heard in Canada.
I always remember when that racist punk dumped flour on the native American girl before Billy Jack took his shoes off and took care of business. Great movie and song. Actor/writer Tom McLaughlin rocked. RIP.
Another version by the group Original Caste was a better singer It think. This whole song describes how stupid and senseless war is if you realize the average life span of human beings, and we waste it on war instead of productive good things. Today all it takes is one mentally ill jerk with too much power to screw up the whole planet. But we have a lot more than one mentally ill jerk in the world...I am surprised we are all still here...
The lesson is that pacifist get wiped out and all they get is some regret from the ones that killed them a few generations later. This is why Israel is armed to the teeth. The story of Billy Jack basically is the same.
Yep, can't hear this song without seeing Billy Jack kicking butt. Saw it in the theater and this song stuck in the head.
Billy Jack was a real man who fought for the Native People. In the 1970's we went to DC and therexwas a rally of Native ppl and he spoke there.
Same hear still know all the words
The movie was good but the scene when he's in that ice cream parlor some of the people sitting down just didn't look real
I don't think of Billy Jack at all with this song
Begged my father to go with my two older brothers when I was 11, and I'm glad to this day he said yes. Still can't believe it was rated PG
I still can't listen to that without crying.
"PEACE ON EARTH is all it said."
And it's very applicable to today.
@@Lacey_Face Me too!! Such irony in this song.

I always cry and im old enough to have seen Billy Jack when it came out.

I agree love, “Say no to war”. So simple but so very important to us all.
From the movie "Billy Jack" Which came out in 1971.

That song was one of my son's lullabies when he was a baby. It's a song that will live forever.

Beautiful reaction to a beautiful song!

Its about not being a helpless mountain person. Billy Jack saw a problem and commenced kicking the problem's butt.
Billy Jack was one of my and my brother’s favourite movie when we were teenagers!
@@wendyryder2708 I first saw it when I was five and I ran around kicking people at random the next day.
Absolutely BRILLIANT movie! My brother and I LOVED this movie!

This song and movie set my course on life.
Iv cried to this song many times. Another Viet Nam era song ❤
Such a powerful message and so true
My best friend and I saw Billy Jack at the movies in 1971 when we were both 14. Still one of my favorite movies. I recommend it. ❤
Love your reaction!
Great movie. ❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks!
Thanks so much!
Your always welcome
Used to sing this in church.
That's so weird I saw this movie when it very first came out I was in the 10th grade in high school it was a cool movie back then
Graham Blvd also covered this.

You need to see his movies he fights for the underdog ,not the white supremastist ,he kicks their butts
It's amusing how the thing they went to war over was what they had, before the war.😢
They had it again after the war as well. The mountain people were careless idiots who got themselves killed.

🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇱🇧🇱🇧🇱🇧🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇾🇪🇾🇪🇾🇪✌️👍❤️❤️❤️
I liked this song so I looked up what else The Coven put out. It wasn't for me, by a long shot. The band name explains it all.
Just think 🤔 this is what’s happening now 😳😬
I always remember when that racist punk dumped flour on the native American girl before Billy Jack took his shoes off and took care of business. Great movie and song. Actor/writer Tom McLaughlin rocked. RIP.
I meant Tom Laughlin, not McLaughlin.
The version by The Original Cast is better.
The original is by the Original Caste and is much better. Coven's lyrics are clipped.
I'm surprised that they allow you to play this song. It is considered a BAND song!
The Palestinian in the Valley attacking Jerusalem on their mountain
I don't think this song was a good fit for this movie but that is just My opinion.
