I love her...her voice is beautiful I noticed you said she "had" the voice of an angel....she still does and alive and well retired and living in Canada where she's from.
I’m an old man now. When I was a young man serving with the US Army in Korea, that’s the first time I ever heard this song. To hear this gifted woman sing it struck me to this day. Now as I look at the sunset of my life and feed the little birds in my backyard, I remember the snowbird from her song. God bless her.
This is why I love Canadian music. No big show, people listening, people smiling and laughing, a simple gang ready to sing with a jewel. And then a big diamond comes out that would last forever. Anne Murray is priceless. This song is priceless. Boy I love her and this amazing song.
I am an old girl these days, retired, nearing 70 yrs old now. I was wandering through my house a little while ago when this song just popped into my head. Knew this song by heart, yet I hadn't heard it in at least 35 years now. It was so nice to hear Anne Murray's beautiful voice fill my ears again with the song only she could sing. It was an amazing time growing up with the music that changed generations of up and coming musicians. Thank you Anne, thank you for your beautiful voice and for sharing it with the world.
yeah absolutely I’ve been married for 32years I was 24 and she was 20. She got cancer in 2020 I was totally lost without her. She took a major hit the treatment was horrible for her. I could do nothing to change any thing so I felt helpless..I miss her everyday. Mothers are the glue that holds everyone together. seeing this makes me miss her even more I come to this page all the time just to have that nostalgia
I remember when it came out. Anne had the perfect voice for it. I am almost 72 but it seemed just like it was yesterday. Thanks so much Anne, My Mother loved your singing.
I was a little kid At the time (born in 1969). I subsequently was exposed to this song which was in the mid-late 70s an instant classic. Anne Murray is arguably a top 10 Canadian of all time!!
I will be 72 next month (November) and remember the first time I heard Ann Murrays voice om Snowbird. It was like a fresh, cool breeze from the Canadian winter that reached all the way to Denmark 🙂
In 1969, when I first heard it, I fell in love with Ann Murray and the song “Snowbird”. I loved her looks, voice and any song she sung. At the time, I was a DJ at a very small radio station in Nanticoke, Pennsylvania. I had the pleasure of seeing her in person At Harvey’s Lake in Pennsylvania sometime in the 90’s and I absolutely loved it. I’m 85 now and I still love my wife. In April, we will be married 60 years…..I love Ann…her looks, her voice, her songs❤️
Congrats for your up and coming anniversary for 60 we been married almost 49 we git a bit of caching up but we love each other so much , you grow as one person , I know what’s he’s going to say and he know me it’s like we go onto each other , still have differences but who don’t lol it livens up the marriage lol happy time anyway xx Uk 🇬🇧 wales 🏴
I fell in love with Anne Murray in 1978 as a young US Air Force Airman stationed on a Nuclear Test Range in the South Pacific. I've not forgotten those days or Anne Murray throughout these many years !!!
that voice comes out and grabs you ,but it isn't just the voice there's something magical that comes through that connects with you and gives you a transfusion of whatever it is .
Anne Murray is another fine example of why the 1970s were the greatest in the history of American popular music. I was 15 when I first heard Snowbird on the radio and fell in love with Anne Murray.
i love that she sounds better the older she gets. its a scientific miracle! it takes alot of time and care to maintain a a good singing voice for a long time.
I dropped out of Highschool to become a plumber in 1968 at 15 years old. I was working on a job in Florida at Little Talbot Island State Park in the winter of 1969 when this song debuted. It was cold and breezy those days and I was working by myself. The waves were quietly lapping the shore, and those tiny little Sandpiper birds were scurrying around all day on the beaches. Every time I hear this song, it immediately takes me back to those days . Great memories. ❤️😊👍🙏🏻
But think farther about the lyrics!! The lyrics remind me of myself being MUCH less than an ideal husband to my wonderful wife for whom I am her forever love.
I’m 59 and grew up in Montana with all radio stations tuned to country music radio. This song is simply beautiful and I too have tears. The musical talent in the 70s was pure gold. ♥️🎶🕊️
I'm 71, and I also feel more emotional when I listen to such beautiful songs. I never feel sorry for myself though! Must be a very specific change as we get older. I do hope you don't mind my comments.
Anne Murray is a pure, genuine talent, snow bird is my favorite song of hers, came on the car radio once when my wife and 3 kids and I had left grandpa and grandma’s at Christmas time for the 4 hour drive home, they all had fallen asleep, I listened and reflected on the great holiday we just had with lots of family, that was 30 yrs ago, still hangs with me to this day, love that song.
Anne has only gotten more beautiful as life goes on. Anne you have brought so much joy to so many lives. Now I’m gonna be honest here and that is I won’t meet you in this lifetime but there is a deeper lasting place and I pray to now you then. See, I have terminal blood cancer and your music keeps me positive and I enjoy everything you do. I know God is in charge and he put you in this world to bring happiness to everyone. Thank you Anne Murray!
Anne Murray and Gordon Lightfoot. Two of the greatest gifts Canada has bestowed upon the world of music. I, too, have never heard her sing “Snowbird” live. What a wonderful voice that just penetrates right to your heart!
Glen Campbell use to have Anne on his variety show quite often. It was always a treat when she sang on his show while he played the heck out that wonderful guitar of his. I agree that she and Gordon are two of the best from Canada or any place for that matter.
I had a crush on Anne when I was a young man back in the 70s. Even though I was into the rock thing back then, I dont think I ever missed an Anne Murray TV special. Especially the Christmas shows. Those shows bring back such fond memories, laying by the Christmas tree with a big fire in the fireplace and my family by my side. :-) What a talent.
I was lucky in 1993 as a 14 year old I came upon a best hits tape and fell in love with the music of another generation. I’m now 44 and I have now lived the lyrics I quite hadn’t understood as a child.
Another generation? Technically you're GenX, Anne Murray was very much active and performing for 'our' generation. The performance in this vid was '96.
Nobody does it better than Anne. This song is her signature. I always admired her simplicity even in the midst of some of the greats, she held her own and was greatly respected.
This song and Green Green Grass of Home were my both of my parents favorite songs. I just lost my father and listening to these songs lets me remember them . I cry too John but its not a bad thing
@@jameskillian1018 - Yes! Her, Karen Carpenter, and Linda Ronstadt all have voices where you can actually understand all of the lyrics. Not like a lot of the singers today.
When they sound as good live as they do with all of today’s technology added in, that’s real talent. A gift from God above. Many today sound so different in concert than they do on record. I never tire of listening to this rare gem. ♥️😊✝️
I sadly did not appreciate Anne Murray’s music in my youth. But I listen to it now and I can really appreciate the great Canadian singer that she truly is 😃🇨🇦
Anne Murray's Snowbird is a song I remember often hearing on the little black transistor radio on the kitchen table in the morning as we ate breakfast in our grumpy mood before going off to high school. It’s a very simple song, and yet very likeable. A big part of it is Anne's unique, rich voice.
@@brendadrumm9451 By any means necessary find a way to see Canada. I went to Montreal to model in some shows and ended up staying for several years. The people are fabulous, the nature is stunning, the cities are electric- I can go on and on but I'm sure u get the idea lol! Brenda, I sincerely hope u can find a way to experience our neighbors to the north.
i can t ever get tired of her voice it flows like a nice rippling beach of clear water and i see a forest of beautiful flowers and trees and grass that is lush and full and a sky that is blue and a nice breeze and she is always going to be the best at what she does and she is indeed a treasure thank you for sharing this great video
One of my all-time favorite songs EVER. It's ALL about melody...Indian music doesn't even have chord progressions. THIS is a great melody and great lyrics! Pitch perfect voice too!
My dad served 30 years USAF and three wars......THIS WAS HIS FAVORITE FAVORITE SONG OF 🎵 🎶 🎵 🎶 SONGS.....HE LOVED ANN MURRAY 💖👍💖 HE HAD A BEAUTIFUL WAY HE WOULD WHISTLE ALONG..... OH HOW I MISS HIM 😢 he's in heaven now....whistling nonstop.....THANK YOU ANN MURRY from the bottom of my ❤ VERY SWEET!! ☝💖 Texas Nana 🤠 Psalm 91
I was 10 when this song was released and my mother played the 45 incessantly. I listened to it for the first time in decades recently and had forgotten how beautiful it was. This version has a nice cadence to it and the harmonies at the very end of the song well me up every time.
Anne is such a lovely woman with a rich and compelling voice. A global treasure. (I'm a 73 year old Yank who's been a fan longer than I can remember. I saw her live once in the early 1980's. Heavenly.)
@@lorainetaylor2012 you’re welcome ☺️ it’s nice meeting you from Germany but currently in Vermont Montpelier USA 🇺🇸 hope you don’t mind been friends with me??
@@lorainetaylor2012 sure that’s true, but you know sometimes you might get tired of the mask and need to breath freely.. hope you don’t mind been friends with me??
In 2008 I was traveling from Idaho to Michigan and my daughter and I listened to Ann Murray. I became a true Ann Murray fan. I remember my Dad listening to her music. She is a great singer
My little wife is dead...She loved this song when it played on the radio it wasn't played that often on the radio in Dallas, Texas back in early 19 73... She used to cry for the little snowbird that flies away....Now I cry for the little snowbird that did fly away....It was her.... In death....It's like somehow she knew that she would be going away, and that we would be separated forever. ...We were married 44 years, she died of non-Hodgkins lymphoma cancer in November 2017.....I cry a lot, and am forever alone.....I am as a sparrow alone upon the housetop.....
I've seen her twice in concert and she just continues those beautiful songs and melodies. Reminds me of my college days. Sweet memories brought back by a sweet lady.
It's 4:30 in the morning and I was sitting here when some of the lyrics just came into my head. Now I haven't heard this song in decades and poof Anne Murray's name just popped into my head. I was like "no way, can't be" and sure enough it was her. I've always love her voice and this son especially. Thank you Anne for such beautiful music.
Oh Anne, you and those with you draw tears for this land. Our people are in such distress. Here folks is an icon. Gather round Anne and Gordon. This is our land. Hold it dear and hold it close for our children.
I'm watching this video after watching the funeral of QE2(no disrespect meant), and I needed a pick-me-up of a heartbreaker. It helps that is performed by one of the very greatest performers of my lifetime. Her sunny voice makes this heart breaker resound with the beauty we love it for.
As a boy we sang this song in school as a man I’ve enjoyed your music now away from home I can pictures in my head seeing like reborn in Mother Nature thank you for sharing
I run across this song often.As a child growing up Western North Carolina we grew up to music 🎵🎶 And of course the Snowbirds❤ Many beautiful memories flood back as i listen to this Song.My Mother my Sisters and Brothers.Picking guitar and singing this song. On the radio when it first came out. My sister's would sing along and eventually as us younger children learned the lyrics, we sang too. It is a blessing to be able to play these videos and watch Ann Murray today on You Tube today. As i watch out my window at all the little Snowbird's and many varieties of Songbirds i play this song.Thank Y'all 🙏 4 Sharing ✌️✨🇺🇲✨
I was in the womb when my great great gammy would play this haunting ancient shanty, now that I'm as ancient as she was, I hear it now and my desiccated skin almost crumbles when tears are wrenched from my one good eye, my heart thumps a single beat in a minute telling me its time to take my meds. I will never forget Anne Murray till the day I die and can only pray that the lord take me soon.
I feel your comment and wish and pray the best for you♥️ This world is hard. When we are young, we have no idea. I feel like it would be fairer if we aged backwards somehow..Thanks for sharing.
Your devine voice Anne Murray,...... I had your album for children when my daughters were little......may I thankyou for such effort...........one of the most distinctive voices I ever heard.
yeah absolutely I’ve been married for 32years I was 24 and she was 20. She got cancer in 2020 I was totally lost without her. She took a major hit the treatment was horrible for her. I could do nothing to change any thing so I felt helpless. I miss her everyday. Mothers are the glue that holds everyone together. seeing this makes me miss her even more I come to this page all the time just to have that nostalgia
OMG! That is Jan Arden on stage with her. The most underrated voices of all time. A beautiful, beautiful voice on par with Anne. Beautiful, talented ladies.
@@stevecox1304 I felt Jan was in awe of the great Anne Murrary. Jan is a very kind, down to earth kind of person. I think she felt honoured to be on stage with Anne, which is why she said, "Name just one of your songs..."

Anne Murray is one of my favorite female singers. We attended a live Mack Davis TV show taping in the mid 70's and when we arrived they announced the guest was Anne Murray. She sang this song and couple others. It was wonderful. Will never forget. Bought every one of her albums, well not albums but those round CD's. Her bio is absolutely super. Very down to earth on that show talking about her songs, etc.
This was my very first record when I was 10 or 12. The other record I had was John Denver those two albums have been with me in my heart my whole life,t I am now 62 and it just warms my heart to hear these songs. You have no idea the gift you have given people. Bless you

There are many, many female voices in music that I love. I could name many singers that are truly exceptional. But nobody tops Anne Murray in my opinion. She is such a good singer, she seems incapable of hitting a wrong note. Plus, she’s such a nice person. You can’t help but love her!😍
She iis/was just so *AWESOME* Love her voice and songs..Remenber back in the days when my brothers and sisters and i would get together have a few beers and sing some songs,and this was one of our Faves..She is one great Singer*-Beautiful voice.*.
Thank Q Anne Murray ☆ One of my Mother's most favorites amongst all the songs she loves thatyou sing .. music and your albums were such a big part of my childhood heart beats. ❤🎼🤗
God sounds just as good now, if not better than she did when she was young! I hate that she retired, I would kill to hear her sing just once more. My mother is from Antigonish Nova Scotia, and actually met Anne several times as a child, introduced through mutual friends (I know they’re from different towns, but back then Nova Scotia was a pretty small place). My mom still kicks herself for not getting to know her better! Lol! Every time I see Anne, I think of my mom, who, in typical Nova Scotian style, is still going strong at 90, she’ll outlive me! And so will every single song that Ann has ever performed! She’s beyond a national treasure, she defines what Canada is to me.🩷🩷❤️❤️
I loved Anne Murray! She had the voice of an angel!
I love her...her voice is beautiful I noticed you said she "had" the voice of an angel....she still does and alive and well retired and living in Canada where she's from.

Talking like this reflects the voice of the heart
I felt your comment♥️ im much younger than you, but i remember this song from early childhood and it brings tears to my eyes. Thanks for your comment🌹
You are absolutely right!
I am 76 in 2024,what a great song and a great lady,loved all her songs,thanks Anne!!!Old Guy from Chicago!!!
This is why I love Canadian music. No big show, people listening, people smiling and laughing, a simple gang ready to sing with a jewel. And then a big diamond comes out that would last forever. Anne Murray is priceless. This song is priceless. Boy I love her and this amazing song.
occasionally people sing about the truth
For me this is the best version clean acoustic. Better than recorded no over dubs of strings and other stuff. I'm live shows the artist best
@christiandurand1443, Anne Murray is not singing in this video. This is KD Lang singing Hallelujah.

Anne was the very first singer I ever heard on a juke box in Surfside Texas I was a cool there and loved her music ever since
What a wonderful voice, thank you Ann Murray.
One of my all-time favorite songs EVER. It's ALL about melody...Indian music doesn't even have chord progressions. THIS is a great melody and great lyrics! Pitch perfect voice too!
My dad served 30 years USAF and three wars......THIS WAS HIS FAVORITE FAVORITE SONG OF 🎵 🎶 🎵 🎶 SONGS.....HE LOVED ANN MURRAY 💖👍💖 HE HAD A BEAUTIFUL WAY HE WOULD WHISTLE ALONG.....
OH HOW I MISS HIM 😢 he's in heaven now....whistling nonstop.....THANK YOU ANN MURRY from the bottom of my ❤ VERY SWEET!! ☝💖

I've always loved Anne Murray from the first time i heard her back in 1970.. She's a classy singer. I wish i could sing along with her.
I was 10 when this song was released and my mother played the 45 incessantly. I listened to it for the first time in decades recently and had forgotten how beautiful it was. This version has a nice cadence to it and the harmonies at the very end of the song well me up every time.
Anne is such a lovely woman with a rich and compelling voice. A global treasure. (I'm a 73 year old Yank who's been a fan longer than I can remember. I saw her live once in the early 1980's. Heavenly.)
This is absolutely fantastic and what a beautiful voice
Hi Loraine hope you’re okay?

@@Huffdanny-p2n know that’s fine by me.We just have to wear masks over here virtually every where we go.
@@lorainetaylor2012 sure that’s true, but you know sometimes you might get tired of the mask and need to breath freely.. hope you don’t mind been friends with me??
In 2008 I was traveling from Idaho to Michigan and my daughter and I listened to Ann Murray. I became a true Ann Murray fan. I remember my Dad listening to her music. She is a great singer
OMG just so wonderful to see these two Canadian icons on stage together. I love them both. Two amazing ladies.
My mother who has passed on dearly loved this song. It is so beautiful but it makes me cry because I miss her so much.
My little wife is dead...She loved this song when it played on the radio it wasn't played that often on the radio in Dallas, Texas back in early 19 73... She used to cry for the little snowbird that flies away....Now I cry for the little snowbird that did fly away....It was her.... In death....It's like somehow she knew that she would be going away, and that we would be separated forever. ...We were married 44 years, she died of non-Hodgkins lymphoma cancer in November 2017.....I cry a lot, and am forever alone.....I am as a sparrow alone upon the housetop.....
I've seen her twice in concert and she just continues those beautiful songs and melodies. Reminds me of my college days. Sweet memories brought back by a sweet lady.
Epic! The perfect match of the perfect VOICE with the perfect SONG... Hello Again, Anne!
Love this Beautiful song and Love Anne Murray's beautiful voice Could listen to her forever!
It's 4:30 in the morning and I was sitting here when some of the lyrics just came into my head. Now I haven't heard this song in decades and poof Anne Murray's name just popped into my head. I was like "no way, can't be" and sure enough it was her. I've always love her voice and this son especially. Thank you Anne for such beautiful music.
Oh Anne, you and those with you draw tears for this land. Our people are in such distress. Here folks is an icon. Gather round Anne and Gordon. This is our land. Hold it dear and hold it close for our children.
Such a beautiful song from a beautiful woman. She is treasure and class act all the way.
I'm watching this video after watching the funeral of QE2(no disrespect meant), and I needed a pick-me-up of a heartbreaker. It helps that is performed by one of the very greatest performers of my lifetime. Her sunny voice makes this heart breaker resound with the beauty we love it for.
What a wonderful video to find! The entire family has always loved Anne Murray. Such a wonderful voice.
As a boy we sang this song in school as a man I’ve enjoyed your music now away from home I can pictures in my head seeing like reborn in Mother Nature thank you for sharing
gosh, this is so wonderful, I'm unable to avoid crying because the song and her performance is touching me so deeply
I run across this song often.As a child growing up Western North Carolina we grew up to music 🎵🎶 And of course the Snowbirds❤ Many beautiful memories flood back as i listen to this Song.My Mother my Sisters and Brothers.Picking guitar and singing this song. On the radio when it first came out. My sister's would sing along and eventually as us younger children learned the lyrics, we sang too. It is a blessing to be able to play these videos and watch Ann Murray today on You Tube today. As i watch out my window at all the little Snowbird's and many varieties of Songbirds i play this song.Thank Y'all 🙏 4 Sharing ✌️✨🇺🇲✨
This was my husband favorite song and singer, sure makes him miss him to hear it again.
I was in the womb when my great great gammy would play this haunting ancient shanty, now that I'm as ancient as she was, I hear it now and my desiccated skin almost crumbles when tears are wrenched from my one good eye, my heart thumps a single beat in a minute telling me its time to take my meds. I will never forget Anne Murray till the day I die and can only pray that the lord take me soon.
I feel your comment and wish and pray the best for you♥️ This world is hard. When we are young, we have no idea. I feel like it would be fairer if we aged backwards somehow..Thanks for sharing.
Anne Murray...such a beautiful spirit ❤& glorious voice. Thank you for sharing your talents with us.
Your devine voice Anne Murray,...... I had your album for children when my daughters were little......may I thankyou for such effort...........one of the most distinctive voices I ever heard.
yeah absolutely I’ve been married for 32years I was 24 and she was 20. She got cancer in 2020 I was totally lost without her. She took a major hit the treatment was horrible for her. I could do nothing to change any thing so I felt helpless. I miss her everyday. Mothers are the glue that holds everyone together. seeing this makes me miss her even more I come to this page all the time just to have that nostalgia
Absolutely amazing, such a beautiful song.
I sang along this song with tearful eyes! Sooooooo gorgeous song! Like a long lost friend ❤❤
😢❤❤❤ I can't stop crying
Anne..a true Canadian and she's true to her own ❤! Precious memories of beautiful songs 🎵!
Hope you,ll be fine.greatful Performance thanks and greatings from good old Germany....
OMG! That is Jan Arden on stage with her. The most underrated voices of all time. A beautiful, beautiful voice on par with Anne. Beautiful, talented ladies.
Well, Jan Arden is kind of uncomfortably show offish. Where Ann Murray is very professional and courteous. Ann Murray still can sing like a bird.
@@stevecox1304 I felt Jan was in awe of the great Anne Murrary. Jan is a very kind, down to earth kind of person. I think she felt honoured to be on stage with Anne, which is why she said, "Name just one of your songs..."
Father: In an instant I remember what I know God is here. Fear not …All is well. Thank you God for everything. Love always.
I heard it for the first time in Nam in 70 or 69 , I always have certain memories that flash in my mind , Christal clear & vivid!
Anne Murray is a Canadian Icon
We will never forget you

I have always loved this song. Beautiful voice, Ann Murray.

Yeah, I also enjoy this track too. How are you doing.. Hope you don't mind knowing each other..
What a super talent and performer.
How can you not love Snowbird?
Anne Murray is one of my favorite female singers. We attended a live Mack Davis TV show taping in the mid 70's and when we arrived they announced the guest was Anne Murray. She sang this song and couple others. It was wonderful.
Will never forget. Bought every one of her albums, well not albums but those round CD's. Her bio is absolutely super. Very down to earth on that show talking about her songs, etc.
Hi Karen hope you’re okay?
This was my very first record when I was 10 or 12. The other record I had was John Denver those two albums have been with me in my heart my whole life,t I am now 62 and it just warms my heart to hear these songs. You have no idea the gift you have given people. Bless you

Truly an inspirational woman' ..Nuff Respect to this lady, many black females enjoyed and appreciated Ann's style and her music
Yes Maureen I'm a black man and I love Anne Murray's singing especially Snow B ird and the song I Fall In Love Again
This song has always impressed me because the lyrics fit the melody so PERFECTLY, like a hand in a glove!
There are many, many female voices in music that I love. I could name many singers that are truly exceptional. But nobody tops Anne Murray in my opinion. She is such a good singer, she seems incapable of hitting a wrong note. Plus, she’s such a nice person. You can’t help but love her!😍
She knocked this song right out or the park! Nobody else can sing Snowbird anywhere close to the way Ann Murray sings it.
She's so talented.
She iis/was just so *AWESOME* Love her voice and songs..Remenber back in the days when my brothers and sisters and i would get together have a few beers and sing some songs,and this was one of our Faves..She is one great Singer*-Beautiful voice.*.
So so beautiful! Love your voice and your incredible songs, Anne Murray 💖💕
What a beautiful rendition of a lovely song,really moving
What a beautiful song which I fell in love with this song as soon as I heard it on the radio.
Thank Q Anne Murray ☆
One of my Mother's most favorites amongst all the songs she loves thatyou sing .. music and your albums were such a big part of my childhood heart beats. ❤🎼🤗
Beautiful voice and lady thank you Anne such a sweet voice 2024 April 7 th listen to this often one of my favourite songs
My female singer from Canada. Love her all songs 🎶🎵🎸 Greetings from Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬🇵🇬🇵🇬
Perhaps that should read "My favourite singer from Canada".
Thanks Lindsay 🙏🏾🙏🏾 indeed my favorite female singer from Canada 🎶🎵🎸❤
This was played at my father's funeral,absolutely beautiful song
God sounds just as good now, if not better than she did when she was young! I hate that she retired, I would kill to hear her sing just once more. My mother is from Antigonish Nova Scotia, and actually met Anne several times as a child, introduced through mutual friends (I know they’re from different towns, but back then Nova Scotia was a pretty small place). My mom still kicks herself for not getting to know her better! Lol! Every time I see Anne, I think of my mom, who, in typical Nova Scotian style, is still going strong at 90, she’ll outlive me! And so will every single song that Ann has ever performed! She’s beyond a national treasure, she defines what Canada is to me.🩷🩷❤️❤️
