When I was 15, I heard about this song, and now I am 53 I am still listening this song. Great Music is like fine red wine, it just goes better with ages ... and there aren't many music nowadays like this anymore, simply but touch your heart
I ve lived my 63 yrs with that song always in my head, loved when first heard and still loved today, it still fills me with sad emotion, a truly beautiful song.
One of the most beautiful songs ever written. Vincent, American Pie by Don Mclean are of the same genre. Unforgettable and will be played forever. I salute you sir
Honestly well done! You should be a inspiration to many others ! You are the glowing sign that people can get through anything and resch the other side.
@@sheppy3316 thank you very much....every time tears in my eyes, when I see someone on the streets , sleeping rough... or listening to this song....happy 2021❤️ !!
Luckily I have never been homeless but I have been dammed close, a few years back I lost everything, my mum passed away and I lost my home and everything I owned. This is why I understand how easy it is for people to end up on the streets and I wish I was able to help everyone.
When this was originally released way back in 1974, I was fifteen years old and living in London with my parents, and yet I was incredibly lonely. This song, therefore, resonated deeply and usually brought tears to my eyes. I am now approaching my 65th birthday, and wondering what my future will hold. And yes, this brought tears to my eyes once more. Such a beautiful song.
This song was originally recorded in 1968. I first heard it the following year. I just happened to be in Britain at the time, in London as a matter of fact. I have listened to it so many times since then. A truly unforgettable song.
I think you are right, I remember hearing it at the Cambridge Folk Festival, By !974 I was in Australia. I remember John Williams as a classical music guitarist. I don’t want to be emotionally moved by the song, but always am. can’t help myself. Those were blessed days, when musicians' egos wern’t so large.@@denispatry6934
Streets of London is a masterpiece by a master musician. All my long life it has stopped me in my tracks, simply in awe, of the composition and the voice. Simply incredible. Hauntingly profound. Thank you Ralph. Douglas
I first heard this in the underground near Earls Court in 1973, a young lad was playing it on his guitar, I was 19 and did know what it was to be lonely.... I have always loved the song ... thankyou Ralf it made me see I was in fact never alone
I can't listen without thinking back to my halcyon days in the late 60's when the world seemed such a more peaceful place - I know it wasn't, that's what age does to you, Such a beautiful tearful song. Thank you for wonderful memories.
This great song reminds us how lucky we're... I always stop to offer food & drink. I love London, and most of all, the UK because of this song. Many thanks to Ralph, and John for a great guitar play.
In the spring of 1971 I found myself busking in the streets and subway stations of Paris with a couple of Americans. Little did I know that the following year, I would pick up a copy of Ralph McTell's album Spiral Staircase entirely on a whim with no knowledge of him or his music. Streets of London and it's backstory (his time busking in Paris) captivated me. It is one of a handful of special timeless songs that I still play to this day. This performance with my guitar hero John Williams is a treasure.
Don't you just love the way the audience picks up the song and sings along. I heard a radio programme where a young guy decided to learn the tune so he could play it at an open mike night at his local folk club, he practiced and practiced and got it perfect. He went up on stage to play but a few seconds in he realised that he had concentrated so much on the tune he hadn't thought about learning the words. For a moment he started to panic, but then everyone in the room just automatically started singing because this is such a classic everyone knew the words.
Wonderful story. Songs like this one, that had passed into the folk tradition and were known and shared and sung by everyone, were the foundation of my youth and the best part of my life. I don't see it much anymore, and I miss it.
My word! Just marvellous, John Williams is a master, RalphMcTell still has the voice, so, so, enjoyable to watch and to listen to both such fine musicians.
Sensational would be a gross understatement. I've played this classic gem hundreds of times on my guitar and must say that John's accompaniment is elegantly superb. His harmonic melody speaks volumes of his classical guitar talent and status as one of the world's finest. Attention singers, songwriters, and guitarists: It doesn't get any better.
I'm a 67 year old American man living in Iowa. I was in London for one month in 1976. I walked the city by day and went to a concert, dance company, club, or play every night. One night I saw Mr. McTell. My treat.
Not only is Ralph McTell an incredible singer/songwriter/guitarist, he is without doubt one of the most wonderful people I have ever had the pleasure to share some time with, many thanks to my dear friend Richard James.
Maybe dislikes are for the philosophy of the song, which pits suffering against suffering. How many of the homeless were earlier in their lives thwarted by such sentiment when they tried to tell of their troubles, get some help, and everyone told them "stiff upper lip, others have it much worse, so shut up and put up with it, I don't want to know." Musically a beautiful song about passing the buck, not caring, whataboutism, the victim hierarchy wars keeping everyone down and depressed. I gave it a thumbs up for the music of it though.
A lot of commenters have remarked on the aspects of homelessness contained in this song, and it is certainly there. But the song goes well beyond that, exploring the ineffable sadness of lives that have drifted into isolation, loneliness and failing minds. It has always touched me, but as I draw late in life I find it an amazing and shatteringly sad song.
Yes! I am reaching the stage of my life when I'm too old to work, and there are some things I can no longer do for myself. But l'm so fortunate to have my family to help me. I'm overwhelmed with sorrow for those who find themselves alone.
Totally underated song. We used to sing it in my assembly in middle school - as a little boy this song was always very moving and made me aware that we live in a broken world.
In shop doorways, under bridges, In all our towns and cities, You can glimpse the makeshift bedding From the corner of your eye. Remember, what you're seeing Barely hides a human being; We're all in this together, Brother, sister, you and I. Hope you're keeping well Ralph. Stay strong and stay safe always. We'll get through this together
This song is without doubt one of those evergreen classics. And this live performance is absolutely outstanding. Total respect to two legends that have stood the test of time. I salute you. 🙏👏👏👏✊
One of those many songs that I never get tired of listening 20 to 30 times in a row :-) As I listen to this songs, my mind drifts into central London at night and see the homeless and old and lonely people .
I have listened to Mr.Ralph Mctell singing this fantastic song over 4 decades (When he was very young, in 1968 and several years after...) It's amazing that his beautiful voice remains the same!
There's a lot of crap posted on UA-cam, but every now and then you come across a true gem. This is one of them. "Streets of London" brought tears to my eyes the first time I heard Ralp McTell's recording of it, and 40 years later, it still does. Ralph teaming up with guitar maestro John Williams is a rare treat
With you on that one Eugene..retired London Detectiv living in the United States...listen to streets regularly to remind me that there's no place like home
Aged eyes, maturity of voice, and smiling understanding have added a dimension to his youthful hit performance so many years ago transforming his then great world wide hit into a now true masterpiece of music and heart. Never look down on anyone unless you are giving them a hand up. Thanks for the beautiful post.
There was a superb cover by Cleo Laine an English Jazz Singer of this beautiful song. Ralph would be very aware of that . It’s different Cleo did it her way. Cleo did it her way, both are just superb.
Ralph McTell changed my life, his music has been a wallpaper to my life since 1968 when I first heard Streets of London. Ralph is not only one of our greatest poetic songwriters but his music reaches parts others don't reach. I can't believe he is over 70; there must be so many who owe their music whether private or professionally to hearing Ralph. I remember hearing Streets of London at the Albert Hall, with 1000's of people you could hear a pin drop until the chorus when it was like a heavenly chorus rising all around, word and note perfect.
NO. This simple version is pure gold. My one wish would be to hear again the extra verse Ralph wrote and sung on his doorstep during covid lockdown in London. Just as simple, moving and meaningful as the rest of the song.
What a wonderful song and your voice is so soulfull. Of course great with the great classical master John Williams at your side. One of the most epic songs for approx. 50 years!
So lange ist das her, als ich das Lied zum ersten Mal gehört habe. Wie oft seid damals gesungen. Nun bin ich 76 Jahre und es begleitet mich immer noch. Danke.😊😊😊
A special song. Thank you. I first heard this around 25 years ago and I never forgot it. Many of us will probably agree that this song has some sentimental value, personal to each of us, and I don’t think anyone who’s covered it has ever come close to the original by Ralph. Gold.
Still a beautiful song even after all these years, and still beautifully sung, and those lines "How can you tell me your lonely and say for you that the sun don't shine?". The sun shines in all our lives more than we realise.
most people don't see the sun that shines in their lives,they're not happy unless they themselves and everyone around them are unhappy,even when the sun shines literally and shines through happy times in their lives they are still unhappy,I know people like this and they will never be happy because they see the worst in everything
How nice. I used to hum this song while riding my bicycle at 11PM to an adult home in Binghamton, maybe I was 22. And, when I went to England in the early seventies to visit my cousin, who was so hospitable to me, the song was popular. Thanks for posting. Harry
A month ago in London, I ced my sight wasnt quite right. Now back in Australia I am lying in my hospital bed waiting for surgery on a brain tumour!! Listening to this is my distraction from the machines that go "ping". Thanks Ralph
Mr McTell , this is the most inspiring song I ever heard. I will write to all our government echelons and insist they prioritise the care for the abandoned, these poor street people .We live here on earht among billions and billions , it is SUCH A PRIVILEDGE to be here . The best way to appreciate this is to care for our fellowman , every person can help a person in distress . I am writing for things to change , songs and words such as your beautiful melody here is what needs to be heard all over the world and in every language.
a timeless song that is a symbol of London but this time performed by two giants with more love,a global outreach which makes the song and the memory of it more alive,more meaningful and full of compassion and sympathy for universal human values.
OMG this brings back so many memories, It brings me back to a really hot sunny Easter day in the garden when I was a child in the 70’s, with my mum and older cousin playing this on their guitars and singing it , back at my childhood home in Chilwell, Nottingham
One of the most beautiful songs ever written . Thank you Ralph.
When I was 15, I heard about this song, and now I am 53 I am still listening this song. Great Music is like fine red wine, it just goes better with ages ... and there aren't many music nowadays like this anymore, simply but touch your heart
I was 70 years,some months back never dreamt I'd end up homeless for the last 11 years, drink destroyed me, sober 13 years and life is great
Hope you are doing well john
Wonderful to read of your achievement ,May the rest of your life be even better, ❤
I ve lived my 63 yrs with that song always in my head, loved when first heard and still loved today, it still fills me with sad emotion, a truly beautiful song.
I first heard the song when the English/Swedish group Scafell Pike performed it. Love it.
I agree, it was very popular when i visited london for the first time in early 70ths
One of the most beautiful songs ever written. Vincent, American Pie by Don Mclean are of the same genre. Unforgettable and will be played forever. I salute you sir
Don't forget Alone Again🙂
Seasons in the sun,Terry Jack's also
Peter sarstedt where do you go to my lovely.
18 years homeless and addicted! Exactly today 11 years clean......It’s possible.....
Honestly well done! You should be a inspiration to many others ! You are the glowing sign that people can get through anything and resch the other side.
@@sheppy3316 thank you very much....every time tears in my eyes, when I see someone on the streets , sleeping rough... or listening to this song....happy 2021❤️ !!

This is why I understand how easy it is for people to end up on the streets and I wish I was able to help everyone.
@@sheppy3316 me too , but helping only one is MORE than most people will do in their whole live....
Could tell a few stories. Homeless once, but not really, couldn't go home. Meet loads of people, in that situation. Love this song.
This is song goes straight to the heart
A masterpiece that has withstood the test of time

Streets of London is a masterpiece by a master musician. All my long life it has stopped me in my tracks, simply in awe, of the composition and the voice. Simply incredible. Hauntingly profound. Thank you Ralph. Douglas
How beautiful. 2 legends!! Love this song so much. The melody, words, it has it all. And this, what a performance. Respect, Sir.
Wonderful - thank you so much!

Possibly Britain's greatest singer songwriter. Totally genuine and can paint a detailed picture with just a few brush strokes. Legend.

The 13 dislikes are obviously idiots who don’t recognise beautiful musicianship when they see and hear it . Phenomenal performance x
Maybe dislikes are for the philosophy of the song, which pits suffering against suffering. How many of the homeless were earlier in their lives thwarted by such sentiment when they tried to tell of their troubles, get some help, and everyone told them "stiff upper lip, others have it much worse, so shut up and put up with it, I don't want to know." Musically a beautiful song about passing the buck, not caring, whataboutism, the victim hierarchy wars keeping everyone down and depressed. I gave it a thumbs up for the music of it though.
'Worn out shoes....' and a worn out song. Ralph Mc Tell has been singing it for about 50 years.
Cat on a wall And it’s as beautiful today as it was then.
@@CatonaWall175 songs never get worn out. unless you're a brainless idiot with no class
@@CatonaWall175 It's what us guitarists call a " timeless classic".
A lot of commenters have remarked on the aspects of homelessness contained in this song, and it is certainly there. But the song goes well beyond that, exploring the ineffable sadness of lives that have drifted into isolation, loneliness and failing minds.

An old man sings his beautiful song again after a half century. Time fleeing, the yesterday's voice is vocal loud and strong...
Never heard Ralph sing so good. Very nice.
Totally underated song. We used to sing it in my assembly in middle school - as a little boy this song was always very moving and made me aware that we live in a broken world.
Not underated at all huge hit recorded by so many artists
@@mobibliothehomeofmobi6617 True - but I meant, massively underated in terms of the amount of air play it gets - which is pretty much zero.
Never grows old .So relevant as of yesterday to today......
In shop doorways, under bridges,
In all our towns and cities,
You can glimpse the makeshift bedding
From the corner of your eye.

Barely hides a human being;

for me this song needs a big choir...its a hymn....thanks for it from germany....
listen to the crisis choir backed version of this version of this you will love it.
Definitely not. It is a beautiful simple song. It doesn't need a choir or orchestration.
NO. This simple version is pure gold. My one wish would be to hear again the extra verse Ralph wrote and sung on his doorstep during covid lockdown in London. Just as simple, moving and meaningful as the rest of the song.
This song is sadly applicable to every city in this world of ours. It captivates something we can all identify with.
Gets me emotional every-time I hear this song. Such sadness in such a beautiful song.
Me too
I have always loved this tune it is still relevant today .
Like all creators of great art, Ralph McTell will live forever.
What a wonderful song and your voice is so soulfull. Of course great with the great classical master John Williams at your side. One of the most epic songs for approx. 50 years!

Fiesta time I heard that song years ago, it sent shivers down my spine,and it’s still the case. Great song full of humanity.
Brilliant brilliant song...and 2 legends together....awesome 👍👍👍👍👏👏👏
It is poetry and cinema in a song and, as everyone here intimates, it is a sublime and classic work of art.
Perfection . Thanks Ralph
Thank you, a song with such intense and natural meaning.
Still a beautiful song even after all these years, and still beautifully sung, and those lines "How can you tell me your lonely and say for you that the sun don't shine?". The sun shines in all our lives more than we realise.
London No Dippy Dolly j
Barry Green the best song about london
most people don't see the sun that shines in their lives,they're not happy unless they themselves and everyone around them are unhappy,even when the sun shines literally and shines through happy times in their lives they are still unhappy,I know people like this and they will never be happy because they see the worst in everything
Frank does that include the people kicking on other unsatisfied people who only make sad comments kicking somebody else on youtube?
Wonderful. Still as relevant today. More so.
Absolutely love this song. First ever song I fully learned to play on my guitar many years ago.
How nice. I used to hum this song while riding my bicycle at 11PM to an adult home in Binghamton, maybe I was 22. And, when I went to England in the early seventies to visit my cousin, who was so hospitable to me, the song was popular. Thanks for posting. Harry
I don't know how it's even possible to sing this all the way through without choking and soaking on your own tears...
Such a beautiful deep voice. It must be mind blowing to be able to create something so beautiful.
These words still telling the truth, even after all these years.
Was für ein fantastischer Auftritt der Beiden.
Immer noch einer der besten Folklore Songs aller Zeiten.
Lovely song. Very nostalgic.
He's got an incredible singing voice
Ein Wunderschönes Lied. Es treibt mir immer noch die Tränen in die Augen.
I love this version by two of the very best musicians.
So good
someone said is this the only song he,s known for.No,No.but even if it was this song is light years ahead of some of the cobblers we hear today
Imagine if you were Ralph McTell and you wrote this song. You would never need to write another song again 🥺
An exceptional song .very poignant and haunting. But in a good way. Strong and meaningful.one of the all time greats.
When I came to London st 1974 his voice and meaning of this song captured me. I STILL love it
This is so meaningful even today.
In 1971 I saw him in the Leescliff hall in Folkestone in se England What a concert I've never forgotten Never will
A month ago in London, I ced my sight wasnt quite right. Now back in Australia I am lying in my hospital bed waiting for surgery on a brain tumour!! Listening to this is my distraction from the machines that go "ping". Thanks Ralph
How are you now ? Hope you recovered from the surgery
First song I ever learnt on guitar! Timeless!
Mr McTell , this is the most inspiring song I ever heard. I will write to all our government echelons and insist they prioritise the care for the abandoned, these poor street people .We live here on earht among billions and billions , it is SUCH A PRIVILEDGE to be here . The best way to appreciate this is to care for our fellowman , every person can help a person in distress . I am writing for things to change , songs and words such as your beautiful melody here is what needs to be heard all over the world and in every language.
Love Ralph McTell and this song!
Spot on Ruth totally agree 👍 Ray twelve strings
Tears to the eyes for the old London I knew, I’m sad because It’s gone..
I heard Ralph singing the song in Royal Albert Hall in 1985. Great song lasts forever. Thank you.
Ralph is Still The man this Lovely Song 🎵 will go on for Ever. God bless Ralph. 🙌
What a beautiful & timeless song 🎵 👌
Wonderful words and voice. My favourite of course is the sunshine of your smile. makes me melt
What a talent! What a song!
One of the beautiful songs ever written
Kenne ich noch aus meiner Kindheit...kommen mir die Tränen...
Beautiful. Love and blessings to all of us.💗🙏
Best best recording of Ralph ever. His voice has matured to make this song bring tears to eyes.
a timeless song that is a symbol of London but this time performed by two giants with more love,a global outreach which makes the song and the memory of it more alive,more meaningful and full of compassion and sympathy for universal human values.
What a duet... From France!!
Because of this song, I would like to take a walk on the streets of London.
OMG this brings back so many memories, It brings me back to a really hot sunny Easter day in the garden when I was a child in the 70’s, with my mum and older cousin playing this on their guitars and singing it , back at my childhood home in Chilwell, Nottingham
The magic is still in his voice.
Ralph the first song learned on my guitar 1972. Keep on keeping on.
Brilliant song, brilliantly performed. Thank you
A masterpiece that I often play on guitar. Thanks for putting it here
