Great tune from a magical time..Living in London in the late 70s I remember dancing my socks off at many house parties to this tune…Carefree happy days.
Such a beautiful song. I listened to it 1978/79 and sang it to my dearest John, my husband who had a brain tumour. I would have made him a morning golden and new ❤️
Camille Saint-Saens put his all into that music, as He admitted. But the transcending power that effects us here comes from the Holy Spirit. It will never fade.
Absolutely!!....with such splendid harmonies and such a delightful melody !!...😇🥰.......just love this song.....I left school in this particular year (1978)....and brings back such beautiful memories......god bless and please remember to try and b kind to each other as good karma is so important xx 😇🥰😎❤❤❤
fucking brilliant,,dunno why i love it but i do!!! She's gorgeous,.the voices and music are great,and the kids are having a ball,,,whats not to like!!!!!
These songs remind me of when I met my now wife, we ve now been married for almost 45 years and she is my everything and this music makes me want it to all happen again as she is the most wonderful wife and person
Thumbs up if you thought the farmer from babe made this song up and then thought these guys made it up. Then you realized that like all good songs it was actually written by a great composer. By the name of, of I don't know, CAMILLE SAINT SAENS?!?!?!
So that’s why I like it! Thanks. I discovered from the closing credits of the movie Babe, that it works very well in a quicker tempo. I’m thinking 1.25x is probably best.
Camille Saint-Saëns Symphony No. 3 in C minor, Op. 78 The recuring tune is in the main piece as tiny riffs?. On its own it lasts about 60 seconds. Just beautiful. One of my grand daughters Layla, is 6 years old. She sang it with me when I was in hospital. The words are so wonderful, means a lot for me. Frank
This is indeed from the Saint-Saens symphony, and is (not tiny riffs) but the main theme of the finale. Amazingly - you may not believe this - it sounds EVEN BETTER in the Saint-Saens ;}
Mon AMI, bingo! Je m'apprêter à envoyer un commentaire mais je voulais voir les autres.C'exact ce que tu a écrits.Le group n'a abseulement aucun mérite car cette musique a deja 150 ans ! Mais ils sont des pauvres naïfs!
I was born in 68, and searched this song because it came to my mind in the last week. I just adore the melody and voices. I knew I loved the lyrics but I'd never really listened to them. But now I see it anew. Love it even more. That's how quality works. It just gets better.
Oh my goodness, I've not heard this since I was about 9/10 years old, for some reason I always associated it as being a reggae song, thanks so much, this bring back many happy memories
If I had words to make a day for you I'd sing you a morning golden and new I would make this day last for all time Give you a night deep in moon shine If I had words to make a day for you I'd sing you a morning golden and new I would make this day last for all time Give you a night deep in moon shine If I had words to make a day for you I'd sing you a morning golden and new I would make this day last for all time Give you a night deep in moon shine If I had words to make a day for you I'd sing you a morning golden and new I would make this day last for all time Give you a night deep in moon shine (deep in moon shine) If I had words to make a day for you I'd sing you a morning golden and new I would make this day last for all time Give you a night deep in moon shine If I had words to make a day for you I'd sing you a morning golden and new I would make this day last for all time Give you a night deep in moon shine
@@SilphBoss I've never seen that movie but what a song I went to boarding school and this song is a piece written for the organ its called Saint Sayens Symphony No3 🙃
I remember as a child watching this video. My late father loved this song as one of his all-time favourites. Could never remember the name of the song & nearly 50 years later, I watched it again thinking about my late father & the memories I had with him.
In fact, it was. Jeff Wayne's musical of war of the worlds, with "Forever autumn" by Justin Hayward. Kenny Loggins with Stevie Nicks (Whenever...), Peter Sue & Marc with "Transcontinental railroad", The carpenters... We shouldn't forget, that in die late 70-ties there still was other music than bullshit from Abba, Glam rock and that awful stuff.
@@liberobeissnagel1009 away with you! Disco glam rock ABBA etc how many millions of records did they sell and most are still credible musicians who still command respect. They brought us all to happier places better times and in comparison to the absolute dross that masquerades for music now....well there is no comparison. The 70s had a vast range of musical genres and something for everybody. I wouldnt have missed the 70s for the world and would go back there in a heartbeat. This song is just musical perfection and the two artists are absolutely amazing. Sheer class talent and musicianship!
I love this song, seriously, but I have to say this... I get it now. I always used to wonder where the "moonshine" bit fit in in the Babe version, but... I GET it now! xD
I was about to ask why John Lennon did the count-in. Turns out that's actually Jonathan Hodge, the composer who arranged this song from the theme of Saint-Saëns' third symphony! :)
I found this today and I swear I was just about to go order (beg) you guys to do a cover for your Gregory Bros. channel when I saw your comment. Are you kidding me?? It was meant to be! Happy to sad, sad to happy, neutral to neutral, it must be done. Don't let our dreams be dreams!
Ruby, I miss you so much since we broke up. I remember you all the days, and this song reminds me the first time we traveled. You'll be forever in my heart. LY
A Reggae groove a cool Duet,got this on a 70s comp should be up there in the list of greatest duets aswell.Yvonne is Dutch so she made it look easy with her part in the song u wouldn't think so
this is wonderful - i remember hearing this as a kid - and i also remembe the first time i hear the organ symphony of Saint Saens about 4 or 5 years later and remembered the tune!
just heard this song for the 1st time , im a 50yr old bloke n it's made my hairs on me back stand up , can't get it out of my head , for some reason it make me look back n remember those we've lost , feel quite emotional x
As I'm explaining to people, the original classical music is touched by the Holy Spirit, but so is this. The song is a sign, and no matter how simple, no matter how much reggae is poured in, it is just divine and special...
I listen to this and I feel a little bit less lonely and desperate. I miss my grandma, she’s not with us for one year now. I miss my childhood, I miss not being anxious and scared of the world. This song feels like a breeze from my beautiful past.
But the strength of this music (first developed by the composer Saint-Saens) is not confined to the past, as you feel it now. There is a good reason for that - the power of the Holy Spirit which Jesus promised would not leave us. They specifically tell us not to be scared, but to have faith (even as we do note the evil on the world).
@@sidpheasant7585so true Brother! There is always beauty and hope with Christ. He’s not a solution or a way to salvation, he’s the missing piece from every lost soul. I’m grateful he came into my life.
Ahhh. This song will always have a special place in my heart. I was one of the waving schoolgirls. That was such a fun day. We treated it as just a day off school at the time! Scott and Kylie were absolutely delightful. Scott gave me his sunglasses. Memories, fabulous memories.❤
@@trinkybinky St John's, Lambeth. The final cut was brilliant, because it obviously wasn't done in one take, or with much live recorded singing, so to see how it was all put together, and how it turned out was so cool to us. We also did Top Of The Pops at the BBC studio. Thankfully, Tony Blackburn was hosting, and not Jimmy Savile. The pig would have had a field day!
@@misssixty4743 Yes, I've seen that video on You Tube too! Great to know where it was filmed. I was only about 3 then, but I'm the youngest and had to watch what my older siblings watched.... and all the kids definitely remind me of my eldest sister and family friends. It looks great fun.
I'm lucky and old enough to remember the original being released when it was a big hit. Yvonne Keeley is just perfect- no one has done it better, thanks to Saint-Saens too lovely melody.
Little did these people know that eighteen years later, this song and tune would be adopted as the tune for the one of the best movies ever, "Babe". And by then, everyone would have forgotten the composer who wrote the tune in the first place in 1886.
While I agree that "Babe" is one of the finest movies ever, it is not true that Saint-Saëns is forgotten by "everyone" - his name is familiar to the public which listens to classical music on the radio - a minority avocation, admittedly. I assume that is Jonathan Hodge in the hat, counting off the beat in in the beginning, who paired these words with the composer's tune. In the movie, the tune affirms life, despite its temporary and ultimately tragic nature.
The film BABE is an *absolute masterpiece* on it's own, and one of favorite films of all time, but I think it would have failed had it not been for the adaptation of one little bit from Saint-Saëns' Symphony No 3 in C minor, Op 78. When my husband and I could legally marry in 2015, this was played as the 'last dance' at our celebration. Saint-Saëns may be forgotten by many but not all!!
A song from my youth, that was a big hit in the Netherlands. Yvonne Keeley is a Dutch singer whose real name is Yvonne Paay. Later she worked for a radio station. However we should forget that the melody is from the third symphony by French composer Camille Saint-Saëns.
because it debuted on the week before christmas and jumped to the top very quickly. I was 5 when this came out and never found it until I went through old top 40 lists from the 70's. I could remember the video set in a church with a choir and him in white and her red hair. We had just gotten colour TV!
We are playing this at my mums funeral next week . Words i would like to say to her. Rest in peace my lovely mum Sylvia xxxxxxxx
I hope you will stay strong!! Take good care of yourself!! 💕
Beautiful Jayne, hoping a few people joined in with the song. x
so sorry for your loss x
Lovely ❤
Deepest sympathy. A great song for your dear mother
Great tune from a magical time..Living in London in the late 70s I remember dancing my socks off at many house parties to this tune…Carefree happy days.
Classic example of how music can lift your mood. Reminds me of better days
Such a beautiful song. I listened to it 1978/79 and sang it to my dearest John, my husband who had a brain tumour. I would have made him a morning golden and new ❤️
I actually shedded tears listening to this. 😭😭
Camille Saint-Saens put his all into that music, as He admitted. But the transcending power that effects us here comes from the Holy Spirit. It will never fade.
Every time 😭
My school days just came flooding back to me
Amazing that only 4 lines of lyrics can fill an entire song, and make it so powerful
Also the melody is super strong.
I fucking love Babe! 😂

It's the tune from Saint Saens Symphony No.3, The "Organ" Symphony.
You will find a surprising amount of good tunes come from 'serious' music!
These songs remind me of when I met my now wife, we ve now been married for almost 45 years and she is my everything and this music makes me want it to all happen again as she is the most wonderful wife and person
Sitting outside my favourite bar in Glasgow this lovely evening, watching the world pass by, this song entered my head
There is something mysterious and fabulous when human beings get together and make music as beautiful as this song.
I agree. So powerful to watch.
Membership in the human family is a trip...
We have Camille Saint Saens - Symphony No 3 (Organ) to thank for this
Thumbs up if you thought the farmer from babe made this song up and then thought these guys made it up. Then you realized that like all good songs it was actually written by a great composer. By the name of, of I don't know, CAMILLE SAINT SAENS?!?!?!
I play this song when I am a little depressed. Makes me happy to hear it.
Ever since I heard this song recreated in the movie Babe and now hearing the original, it makes me feel sad for some reason. Its a good song
It’s not the original. The original was written by Camille Saint Seans as the final movement of his Organ Symphony in 1886. There are many vids on YT.
Let's never forget the amazing classical Composer, Saint-Saens' ❤
Taken from his organ symphony no2
So that’s why I like it! Thanks. I discovered from the closing credits of the movie Babe, that it works very well in a quicker tempo. I’m thinking 1.25x is probably best.
3rd Symphony actually. Maestoso movement. Best recording here.. ua-cam.com/video/T4U0y8zZm28/v-deo.html

It was the song we played as we left our Wedding Reception in 1990.
Amazing song so beautiful, so glad BABE cement it in history for the young’ uns to appreciate 🙏🏽🌟
Excuse me, it wasn’t Babe who cemented this. It was Camille Saint Seans who wrote it in 1886 as part of his mighty Organ Symphony
I LOVE this song, I used to sing it to my babies when they were in my tummy.... Makes me weepy everytime....
Fell in love with the bass line aged 9, 40 years later still playing bass, love playing along to it too, fantastic groove and feel.
And your surname is bass, what a coincidence!
@@RighteousBrother just an email moniker...not my surname.

love the song and the movie we all could learn a lot from BABE
If I had words is such a beautiful song. I find it very uplifting. It would be great if they did this in school assemblies nowadays.
This reminded me of growing up with mum and dad together ❤😢. I still love it. 💘 it makes me Smile 😊
Wonderful music and such happy memories for me - they made real music in those days!
Such a beautiful song, one of the special ones from my childhood. Until I saw this video I had assumed Scott was a black man
loved it when I was a kid...still love it now.
Beautiful sentiment.
i just love those 70's. i was born too late to enjoy it a little more... wish i had a time machine to go back to that great era
Just go onto you tube and go back to 1886 when Camille Saint Saens wrote this music - Organ Symphony
