I'm 17th and I really love this song so much. My mom always sings this song to me. I play this song whenever I miss my mom . This song reminds me that home without MOM is not home.
Peter, Paul and Mary - 500 Miles 0516am 14.10.24 they look very pained as opposed to earnest - which is what you would expect from a conscientious set of youthful social consciences........................
I thought I bought the only Silvertone Sears made. It was ‘65/‘66….rushed home from HS to take lessons from Laura Webber on PBS….never got past ‘Red River Valley’…..”the very best of times 😐😊
I am a 90s kid, and dear lord do I love music from the 60s. They don't make music like this anymore. Such a shame. I am thankful a lot of the old stuff is on youtube.
Times have changed. And are changing fast. When it comes to music, mostly not for the better. For most other things, also not. But we can’t rewind time.
A lot of their music was about the war in Vietnam. I was born in the early 50's and I was still born a little too late. My generation was filled with the coming out of The Beatles. I love Peter. Paul and Mary. I love all of the music during this time.
When one has heard PP&M sing this in concert, there is no way to describe the absolute beauty in her voice and the harmony provided by P&P. We sat in total silence just waiting for the next note to be sung. This was many years ago at a concert in Charlotte, NC. One of the highlights of my youth that I will never forget. Mary was just as beautiful if not more so in person and a totally great lady. I do miss those days when talent like theirs was available for us to listen to. I still believe that during this period, some of the best singers and talent graced the entertainment industry and once they were no longer at the front, the quality, talent, and context of songs and singers rapidly declined and since their departure, a desert with not much talent is all we have today. In the 60s, I was teenager and in my early 20s and consider the time a blessed time for great music. Thank you PP&M for giving us so much and still blessing us with your talent today.
I am privileged to have seen them from their beginning. From concerts and rallies to talking to Mary on the street. In NY and up to the end of her life, I attended her memorial along with 3000 people at the Riverside Cathedral
During the early 60's when other high school kids were collecting rock and roll songs, I was collecting folk songs. That is why I guess I turned into a war protestor in 1968. Folk music was my introduction to the war movement. I still have many of those records because I took meticulous care of them. Slowly I have been giving my collection to my nephew because he is an audiophile and just as meticulous with those records. He will take care of them long after I am gone.
Me too. I was a teenager in 1962. I loved the 193O 4O 59’s music. I saw PP&M in their beginning at a Civil Right March and at Carnegie Hall. They were real troubadours
This song brings you to tears. I have this song on a cd of 60 classics. I had my girlfriend and her sister in the car. And before this song was over they were straight out balling. And they said that they didnt even know why they were crying and especially never hearing this song before. It just does that to a person, I've she'd a many of tears to this song. It's like an emotional cleans. You just can't help it. It doesn't matter who you are, if you can hear it, you will tear up. It's just that beautiful.
You don't have to know English to feel what the lyrics are saying. It is ever so soulful and the haunting tone, leaves an impression within your soul.. ❤
that Mary Travers and the guys what a great ensemble singing group. They were like fine wine. Take a long road trip with their music. A tapestry of woven harmonies
being born in 1949, I am a poster child for all things 50s and 60s. Loved all the music and am thankful my folks had broad interest in music ,too. Dad liked Jazz so thelonius Monk and Brubeck and Goodman were all part of the music that floated out of our hose. My sister loved West Side Story so I was even exposed to composers and Broadway plays (my favorite was Music Man). Add to that my mom's love of Opera and her Nelson Eddie heart-throb and the explosion of rock and roll, I was very well rounded in music appreciation before I got to MIddleschool.
I still perform this song, which I learned shortly after it was recorded. Out of hundreds of songs I play and sing, this is by far the most popular. More people come to me and say how moved they were to hear it--it's amazing. There are more verses to it, so my version is a little different, but this is the version I learned first. Growing up I listened to all kinds of music, and played classical violin. But I was always drawn to folk; PP&M, Simon & Garfunkel, Joan Baez, etc. Later I got into the Delta Blues singers, and developed my own style. Though I no longer play professionally (too old and tired) I play for friends and family, show up at an open mic now and then, and occasionally sit in with anyone who asks. This is true Americana, with far-reaching roots that grow in many directions, influenced by many countries and styles. It's really fun to play these songs for young people--most of whom have never heard them before. It's awesome to see their reactions. 🎶
Because they made it look so easy, it's just not possible to fully appreciate the perfect counterpoint harmonies PP&M created. Anyone who's attempted to do it instantly knows just how hard it really is. ----Miss you, PP& M ! ------------------Wolfsky9
In the 60’s the person or persons who sang believed what they sang for the most part. They could truly sing and allow the instrumental to enhance their voice. We did not play loud and scream into the microphone. That started in the 70’s and the music (as to rock) has continued to go downhill for the most part. That is why the 60’s music is still around. The music of that time was to make one think, be happy, or just to remind us to dream. To bad that the youth of today have nothing but trash music. I that generations music made me and my friends want to enjoy ourselves and make the best of life. We did not blame anyone for what we had, or did not have. We just work hard and made the best of it, and sang along with the music.
I go to my local coffeehouse and get some pretty great music. But, you're right, popular stuff is pretty crappy. I'm thankful for UA-cam, good old music here.
Good morning my friend I was born in 1955 to I grew up listening to this music in this era to They was great in their era to This is going to be timeless classic to here Thanks for the great music 🎶🎶 to Today's music 🎶🎵 is like garbage 🗑️ to Am still listening to this music in September of 2024 to
So good omg...I was watching the 50 years of Peter, Paul and Mary DVD and when this came up I had to look it up so I could share it. Thanks for posting
Who's playing this in 2021 like me ? Memories of those far-off day? Memories tinged with sadness ? Reminiscences and Memories crowded your mind? Long lost friend? or heyday of your life? I want hear your stories.
I'm right here thinking that in these strange and unpredictable times, I ought to be making some plans for the future. Think I'll be carried in to this one or All My Trials. Both so beautiful. Stay safe everyone.
Meu pai tinha um Aero Willys e me levava para escola quando escutei essa musica a primeira vez. Cresci e nos anos 80 consegui reencontra-la. Após quase 60 anos que entrei naquele carro essa musica ainda me emociona....
I don't know about you, but when I see Mary pouring out her soul and then think that she lies moulding in a grave, it just breaks my heart. With all the demented and depraved people running around on this planet, who so deserve to dead, and here is this beautiful creature. Only the prospect of the resurrection gives me comfort, as I approach my 80th year. I hope to see Mary there.
Note that in this perf., all 3 are singing at one mic., rather than 2 or 3 they normally used. THAT'S why Paul & Peter are not as strong on their harmonies. One mic. rather than 3 makes a huge difference. ---Still, beautiful. ----------------Wolfsky9
What happened to the "not a shirt on my back" verse? Did audiences snicker at the mental image it would create when a woman would sing that line, so they stopped singing it live?
@@marksheiman1538 Here is the full version by Peter, Paul and Mary with the extra verse, "Not a shirt on my back..." and also in a higher key of D instead of C. Enjoy ua-cam.com/video/HBhoJDC_2O0/v-deo.htmlsi=LP5rA42h4hjsZClw

I'm 64yrs old now and WOULDN'T want to be a day younger. I grew up with the best ever music in a better world!
Yes, you did.
At 67 years old, I would thoroughly agree with you.
Me too, same age.
Amen brother
My grandmother is 88 yrs old and she still loves this amazing masterpiece.
I am also 64 I GREW UP LISTENING TO THIS GROUP AND MORE FROM THE 60S AND 70S MUSIC IT IS THE BEST OF THE BEST
Still listening to PPM at 68...They have even better meaning to me now. I love her voice and their harmony.
I'll be 74 next week, and amen! This was a wonderful time.
Peter, Paul and Mary - 500 Miles 0516am 14.10.24 they look very pained as opposed to earnest - which is what you would expect from a conscientious set of youthful social consciences........................
My heart aches for those days
How emotional, it almost brings one to tears, 😢
One of the first songs I learned on my Sears guitar about 60 years ago.
I thought I bought the only Silvertone Sears made. It was ‘65/‘66….rushed home from HS to take lessons from Laura Webber on PBS….never got past ‘Red River Valley’…..”the very best of times 😐😊
Mary’s rich, beautiful voice is for the Ages.
I am a 90s kid, and dear lord do I love music from the 60s. They don't make music like this anymore. Such a shame. I am thankful a lot of the old stuff is on youtube.
I don't think there's been such a density of songs with such meaning since.
Times have changed. And are changing fast. When it comes to music, mostly not for the better. For most other things, also not. But we can’t rewind time.
I'm 69 now , born in 51 and remember all the old ones .......AMEN to being the best music .AMS2 Frank Gilpatrick - USN-Ret. 69-89 .
A lot of their music was about the war in Vietnam. I was born in the early 50's and I was still born a little too late. My generation was filled with the coming out of The Beatles. I love Peter. Paul and Mary. I love all of the music during this time.
A sad song that's so passionately sung by Peter, Paul & Mary. Nostalgic for me. Love it.
Miss you Mary and the group!
Absolutely beautiful.
OMG! I'm 37, but how I love this song!
Wonderful. They were so talented
No gimmicks They honed their voices by preforming 200 show a year
On College campuses etc. I saw them first in 1964
I’m 23 and obsessed with it

Man, I just LOVE the sophisticated harmonies they do with such feel and nuance

One of the prettiest songs ever written or performed haunting yet lovely
A wonderful rendition, Mary exudes warmth and feeling.
The Divine Mary belongs to the Ages
With the guys. Saw them as a kid in the 60’s
You don't have to know English to feel what the lyrics are saying. It is ever so soulful and the haunting tone, leaves an impression within your soul.. ❤
BS. I'd have no idea what she is singing about it I didn't understand English.
that Mary Travers and the guys what a great ensemble singing group. They were like fine wine. Take a long road trip with their music. A tapestry of woven harmonies
I am 77 and had a crush on Mary. She was my idol and the whole group was first class.
We all did!
I sure miss this kind of music
First concert I/we ever attended in Odeon, Glasgow. First stereo LP ever purchased (still have it). A first in every respect. Love it.
Love this group....and the music! Just a beautiful voice
Probably my favorite song ever. This touches my heart so deeply.
It is one of my favourite from this group and they recorded so many other treasures… The Cruel War, Leaving On A Jet Plane and so many more.

Wonderful
впервые ее услышал в 1975 году, был поражен красотой многолосия и воспроизведения
Beautiful. Listen also to the version from Inside Llewyn Davies, which is also terrific.
Yes, Justin Timberlake does a great job. Also, watch Joan Baez's performance, is a very nice one.
고맙고 감사합니다!

Go to Peter Paul and Mary. Live on the BBC 1965.
super thats it
Canção divisora de tempos
Terminou um tradicional e iniciou se outro de novidades e liberdade

노래가 슬프다.. 가수의 슬픈 얼굴도 슬프다.
tão profunda
RIP MARY TRAVERS ❤
Too bad there's no recorded version of this rendition. I wonder if there are any demo and outtake versions of their songs.
Yes. One their first album. PPM
When Mary sings this, she looks like she wants to cry.
Maybe she feels not on pitch
When Hedy West wrote this she entitled it: 500 Miles (Railroaders Lament).
@@mickey1849 I read that she didn't like her solo rendition, and swore she'd never sing it again from that point on until her passing.
@@davecinelli1068 That's interesting to know. ;)
What happened to the "not a shirt on my back" verse? Did audiences snicker at the mental image it would create when a woman would sing that line, so they stopped singing it live?
👍👍👍👏👏👏🙏🙏♥️♥️
I would walk 100 miles with Mary travis.
♥️♥️♥️jo
is they still live?
Joe -- Mary died in 2009. Peter and Noel Paul are still with us.
They were the only group to play this song with different chords. For the musicians out there:
C-Am-Dm-F
Dm-Em-F-G
C-Am-Dm-F
Dm-Em-F-C
I'm game. There's another version by Bobby bare,and Riva McIntyre that's more personal.
@@marksheiman1538
Here is the full version by Peter, Paul and Mary with the extra verse, "Not a shirt on my back..." and also in a higher key of D instead of C.
Enjoy

Mary 😪😪💔
CS&N MIGHT have picked up some of their vibe.
So sad.
