Wasn't mine but this always played at the Holiday site we went to, he died when I was 11 in 2018, this takes me back to those moments in the bar with the live musicians singing this and everyone waving there hands along, truly a blessed time
I been a fan since 1966. I actually CRIED when Davy passed. Same with Peter.I didn't want The Monkees to get old, I wanted them to stay just like they are in this video!
@@lacchaaparatha Lilly white, We loved it. No LGBTQ, Trans, victims. You could walk around without getting punched in the head, People kept to themselves, No Tik Tok, Instagram, woman weren't depressed, They didn't brag about sleep with 100 men, they weren't 304s, Men were men. Music was great. Tells us what you love about today.😂😂
My amazing wife Jeannie passed away this morning. This was her favorite song since she was a young girl. Off course I had to come here. Love you always Baby Bird.
I am so sorry for your loss, and I am pleased you found this song - treasure memories this was my number one song in Karaoke, and i could nail this and won prizes .. My prayers to you and your family and to Jeannie, rip...
So sorry for your loss, I don't think I am that far behind, were here because we are that generation. Time for us to go and leave the youngsters to it!
She was a Secretary who INVENTED Liquid Paper. Eventually sold the patent for 48 million back in the late 70's and died suddenly afterwards at age 56. True story.
Peter was the son of a professor and was very intelligent. A bit promiscuous then but I was 11 then and had no idea what those guys did. Just loved them and loved the show!
@@michaellorenzen8200 You make a great point. I bet there is a bit more , and more ugly reasons also. The teens and 21-25`s now are into nothing but digitized rep/hip hop and have no attention span because of the tach. you speak of. They react to these old tunes(check out reaction vids) and take rock lyrics literally , not understanding analogies or poetic license. If they hear "my baby blue", they think it means "oh, he`s talking about his new child with blue eyes", not a reference to a girlfriend he is singing about. Not the best example, but ya get my meaning.
Tom A, The Monkees songs are assured of a place in music history. In particular Daydream Believer, many bands who play local areas still do this song. Cos its a floor filler and a great song.
I agree. As long as those of us from this era are around it wont be gone. Tis song is often sung at parties, dances with people and kids of all age groups singing this.....this is one song that will cascade down a good few generations.
I just saw Micky Dolenz in concert on 9/15/23. It was a blast from the past. And a reminder of how much fun the Monkees really were. There was a moving tribute to all the members of the band. Great concert. Micky still has it. :)
@@rosspbarnett458I know, I wonder what he thinks about being the last man standing. Sad the other three all died relatively young, especially Davy.Fantastic band, especially considering they were supposed to be a fake band..😢😢😢
I have heard that Mickey does that at all of the shows and even though there was some (a lot ) of tension , Mickey brought Mike out on some shows . Because they still loved each other ! That is class !
Regardless of if the Monkees wrote their own tunes or not - or played their own instruments or not - this tune can automatically make one feel good. A classic for all time this song, not just a '60s classic. Thank you to all the Monkees.
Yeah it'd really sad how much they were limited and looking at the video now, it makes sense why so many notes and tunes are not accounted for. Regardless the band is a true classic!
Oh, you mean you don’t like the wokeness, the gender confusion, the trans activism, Bidenomics, the Ukraine war, inflation, invasion on our southern border, fentanyl, Joe Biden, the corrupt Marxist Democrat party
I know mine too! I was three years old whent his came on and my brother was 12 and I would sit in front of the tv and say "Mike! Mike!" I STILL love Mike Nesmith- he wrote to me and sent me signed gifts a few times ove the years he was an absolute love, for sure! I treasure my letter from him! One of my first images I think of from that age of three was their legs walking intertwined like that! :P! I met Peter Tork in 1980 on Micky's brithday at the Playboy club in NJ- OH MY GOD I was toast - 26 French kisses he gave me- we were together like three hours- OH, I was just mezmerized by him! My mother was too- she said he was so intelligent and charismatic- he WAS too! His voice in my ear gave me chills- I will never forget the way he said my name, ohhhhhhh talk about swoon! He is tall too! I was 16 :) what a way to learn how to French Kiss! i didn't even have a boyfriend- never kissed a boy, util Peter WWOWOWOWO! Theh funny thing was, I said to my mother the next day that I didn'tknow why he was pressing my thigh with his knee-- she siad, "OH MY GOD! THAT WASN"T HIS KNEE!!!!"Kimberly
Check out Mickey making wacky faces at Davey Jones in the beginning of the song right after Davey stands up. I cannot help but laughing every time. Dolenz was and still is funny as hell!!
And this was the song that many other artists rejected. Even David Jones didn't want to sing it. But it became one of their 3 number one world wide hits. Go figure.
@@sidecarmisanthrope5927 I don`t think you were talking to me, but your comment came to my not. bell. I never knew anything about the backstory, if you will, on D.B., but it sounds like most Monkees tunes being brushed off with discain by the guys because they wanted to do their own material..sorry for misspell on disdain. Looking back with the mind of an adult and musician, the boys were really given a ticket to stardom and had a fuckton of good songs to work with. I still love some old Monkees tunes but they were just that; boys. Naive boys without a clue about the industry.
Found the info: "Daydream Believer is a song composed by American songwriter John Stewart shortly before he left The Kingston Trio. The single reached No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart in December 1967, remaining there for four weeks, and peaked at No. 5 on the UK Singles Chart." (Wiki)
RIP Michael, thank you for bringing joy into my childhood as I struggle with life's trials. You plus the other Monkees made me forget what was happening. You gave me peace and rest for a short while as I enjoyed the show on Saturday morning.
I'm sorry to hear you had an unhappy childhood. Absolutely no child should be put through anything but love. I'm glad the Monkees could free you if only for a while x
Caesars in Windsor ontario Canada, in the past, had The Monkees performing. I wished I could have taken my dad to see them....but its not the same without Davy Jones 😥💝💗💖❤
I am 65, listening and singing with him allready third time in a roll, and crying like baby, tears are falling like waterfall bringing all fhe memories from those days of my youth with diferent music, diferent life philisophy snd emotions.❤
Hey madam/sir, I'm Gen X (1973) and I vaguely remember seeing some of The Monkeys' shows on re-run channels, and I just loved them. I'm re-visiting some of their songs and remembering their own magic. They are/were really talented for their time, and I'm glad they are still people from your generation reveling in their music, still. Cheers :)
I’m right there with you Marina, I was born in ‘71 and I loved The Monkees through reruns of their TV show. This song always makes me feel good, brings me back to the late 70’s. Where has the time gone to…?
We used to rush home from primary school to watch these guys, because they were so cool at the time. They were a great band, and their music was ideal for television. ❤😊
RIP Micheal Nesmith. Believe it or not, back in the 80s they were still showing reruns of the Monkees on Saturday mornings after cartoons. What a treat. Kids who stream will never understand nor the satisfaction of Saturday mornings.
Yep. RIP Mike Nesmith, Peter Tork and Davy Jones. God bless you, Micky Dolenz. I also remember Saturday mornings watching 'The Monkees' in the early 80's reruns. Heck of a theme tune.
Amazing！I can hear and SEE this now! I am a 66-year-old Japanese woman, and I loved The Monkees Sow when I was a little girl. Daydream Believer has been one of my favorite songs for the past 50-60 years!
Hi there, I like to sing Daydream Believer at Karaoki here at the Skegness resort in the UK but one day I would like to visit Japan and sing in Karaoki there for you. I'm a 69 yr old English man.
Never heard this song before my auntie Jeans funeral, it was her song as her coffin was carried, and it was so beautiful. The lyric ''Cheer up sleepy Jean'' will always get me, that was the only lyric I comprehended at her funeral, and every time I listen to this song it reminds me of her. Its such a cheerful song, and she was such a wonderful, cheerful person. This is a beautiful piece of music for me to remember my auntie Jean, it suits her so well 💕💕
I had a sister Jeannie, and she loved "Daydream Believer", too. I think she really liked the fact that Davy Jones was the lead vocalist in it. She, too, was greatly loved and was a beautiful person. She passed away in early 2020, a few weeks after our mother.
Just hearing the Monkees brings me back to the 60s when I was a kid. It brings tears to my eyes because it was such a great childhood that I had and that the Monkees were a part of!
I played this not long ago and the response from my mom was unexpected. She got a big smile on her face and said “Awww the Monkees! Reminds of when I was a little girl.” She’s pushing 70. So great to hear songs from your youth and it brings back good memories. It was from my mom’s childhood. It was from mine from the Monkee’s reruns. It’s famous again today. You can’t keep a great song down! Classic song. 🤙🏼
Yep. Me too. Met all except Mike. Loved all. Mickey was so fun. He even sang I'm a Believer to my niece when she was 7 dancing on a table at Harrah's Tahoe.
Agree totally. I just recall sitting in front of the TV and my Dad would sometimes sit down and even he laughed at their antics. Just a pure sound that brings out the best childhood memories.
Thats the TRUTH! TV was Soooo Great then! Monkees, Wild wild west! Rat Patrol! Clay Coles Discotheque! Chiller Theater! Lost In Space! Time Tunnel! Etc Etc! No Screens! Noo Buttons! Just Simple Enjoyments.. Was a GOOD time to be a kid.... God Bless.
No diría que mi juventud fue feliz Pero en ese medio conocí a quien me hizo infinitamente apreciada, amada atendida, desgraciadamente se fue, pero me precerbo por el resto de mi vida.porque: lo amo y lo amaré siempre
Today, I have tears in my eyes listening to this.... just as I did when Peter passed in 2019..... you’ll be missed, mike.... so so much along with Peter and Davy. Thank you for the music, memories and happiness 💕
You took the word's out of my mouth, that style of dancing was late 1950's and 60's, you really have to hand it to him; if I were to try that l'd end up in Hospital. They were a great group.
I agree with you. Not sure how gracefully I have aged. But times from my past are locked into some wonderful memories. It looks as though you embrace a culture as well. I do also. A much different one. But music has always been magical to me. Far back in my youth. I still have an extensive music collection. And every song brings me to a place or person. Many I've lost. Families mostly were bigger in my time. 8 in mine all gone but 1. Most were lost at young ages. But these songs refresh that time for me. It's magical as I said. ✌️☮️🌹🥲
RIP to three of the four Monkees! Damn... upon Mike's death I looked deeper into the band and they really were CRIMINALLY underrated as artists. Great catalogue, great sense of humor, great presentation. Timeless, in a way.
I watched the Monkees every week when they were on TV originally...I watched them endlessly on Saturday mornings in the 70's... I played their albums over and over...and over again. Their songs and images like this video are engrained in my brain and my soul. It just breaks my heart that Mickey is the only one left now. Rest in Peace guys. Critics and nay-sayers be damned over the years...I hope you guys all know how much you meant to us, your fans.
Greatest rock song? WONDERFUL WORLD, HENRY THE 8th, JUST A LITTLE BIT BETTER, A MUST TO AVOID, & MY RESERVATION'S BEEN CONFIRMED by HERMAN'S HERMITS are some of the best rock songs ever recorded.
Absolute childhood legends. I was at a motorcycle rally here in the UK in the late nineties. The guy behind the bar put this on. Every single person was singing along at the tops of their voices in perfect chorus. RIP Mike, you defined childhood happiness with The Monkees.
@@Xane_Dragon Umm..ok? Like he literally just passed away a few days ago and I dont expect you to be crazy sad but you don't have to go and say that. Give a little respect ok?
the shaving razors cold and it stings ... you once thought of me like a white knight on a steed . davey jones only you could have brought life to those lyrics ... respect ..
"Daydream Believer", a song about the loss of innocence and the anticipation of responsibility, is a timeless slice of pure pop by 'The Monkees', with a joyous swinging camaraderie to it, that's seldom been bettered since.
@@jocook17 Stewart reluctantly agreed to the word change as it was the only way the management company would use the song. Stewart has the writing credit and collected the writing royalties for the rest of his life.
CAN'T YOU HEAR MY HEARTBEAT?, I'M INTO SOMETHING GOOD, THERE'S A KIND OF HUSH and many more songs by HERMAN'S HERMITS are in my opinion the best feel-good songs ever written.
I was a kid in school when this was on TV. I could hardly wait to watch the Monkees. They had such high morals and their music was a lot of fun to listen to. I still enjoy their music even to this very day. 😊
George Bernard Shaw once said "YOU DON'T STOP PLAYING BECAUSE YOU GROW OLD; YOU GROW OLD BECAUSE YOU STOP PLAYING " I always enjoyed listening to the MONKEYS they were a good group to listen to, saw them once in long beach cali and that was a lot of fun, they were so funny, they were one of the best. R.I.P. Davy and Peter
*WHAT!?!?* *'Wool Cap Mike' is gone?* *I didn't know* ( *Like Lennon said in '70 "Don't worry over us, we're alright and so are you and everything you liked of the 'Beatles' is still here, all the records and the films and all that will still be around...we gave you fans the best we had for years and years and now it's time for a long rest and none of you would like to hear and see us at forty or something..."* ) __________ *How wrong he was and didn't know it!* __________ * 'The Monkees' will live-on long after all the original fans are gone, and that wouldn't be true unless there was real talent and chemistry involved between them, because although a camera may not 'tell the truth of things'...it doesn't 'lie' either* *WE know the difference between 'fake' and 'real' and what we saw and heard from the 'American Fab Four' was real even if it was never intended to be* __________ *I saw an interview with Nesmith here on 'Tube and he talked about Peter Tork and how Mike seemed to just 'always not quite right' and "Not the friend I should've been" with Peter in being 'not enemies but not close the way we should have been' and that when an assistant told him where he working said "I just heard that Peter has died" it felt "Like I was kicked in the guts and my heart stopped because I never got the the chance to tell him I loved him and didn't know it and now it's too late to even say goodbye to him* ( *Mike looked like he going to burst into tears right on camera and trying hard not to* ) __________ *I have a friend 'Leon' that I knew from Kindergarten all the way to 7th. grade and we were always 'pals' but what I didn't realize was how poor he was...I had no real concept of what it meant to not have any money in a pocket for a snack or matinee movies or a bag of candy* *My family was not 'rich' at all but there was always money for me to have for lunch at school and for 'after' and I always got 'movie money' at least twice a month and Leon had none of that and the 'little house' he and his mom lived-in would be considered 'cheap' and 'poor' even in the late '50's thru the '60's in Dearborn, Mi.* *How I wish I could see him now after more than fifty-years have passed, and tell him "I'm sorry for not being a better friend than I was but I just didn't know any better and now that I know it makes my heart hurt that I wasn't as good to you as you were to me and I'M SORRY* ( *We moved from Dearborn to Las Vegas in early '68 and I never even thought to say 'Goodbye' to him and get his address so I could write to him or maybe call sometimes* ) *WHAT AN A-HOLE I WAS TO HIM and I still don't understand 'Why?'*
A few months back, my aunt and I went to the Monkees Farewell Tour which featured Micky and Michael. It was a good show, and after today, I'm thankful we got to see the remaining two before it became the remaining one. Rest in peace, Michael Nesmith. You will be missed down here.
I'm jealous. I had to work the night they came to my town just a few weeks ago, I guess closer to the end of the tour, and I couldn't go. 😢 And now Micky is the only one left.
Mike once said this was his favorite of the tunes Davy sang and I agree. One of their best songs. Hard to believe Davys gone 3 years already. Love the Monkees!
Thank you for being part of my world. As we slowly loose those we grew up hearing and enjoying, I’m so grateful for the joy and great memories they’ve all given to me. Thank you Mike, Peter, Davy, and Mickey for always bringing a smile to my face. Sending eternal love and thanks.
That's because writing music has become a lost art. Computer programs do the writing now based on an algorithm of what people supposedly want. This is why there has not been a popular song with a key change since 2002. They no longer know how to write a proper melody and don't understand how to use key changes and time changes to enhance and color the mood(s) of a song. That is what's missing from modern music. It reminds me of the Bowie / Ronson collaboration. Bowie wrote the songs on guitar and brought a very crude and basic structure to Ronson who then molded that song into the tunes we know and love. Ronson created the arrangements, key changes and time shifts. That was all 100% Ronson.
I was in 2nd grade when this song was released, the melody stayed with me for a whole summer. I was this lil black kid humming this song on the playground all summer, til my sister got tired of me screwing the lyrics up and bought me the 45 disc. R.I.P. Rita, and this will always be our song.
My mother who was born in 1948 says this is her favourite ever song, we’ve all grown up with it. 55 years on and even my kids love it. Timeless classic that’s guaranteed to liven up your day 😃
Love this song, love The Monkees. This jam never gets old no matter how many times I play it. Sure miss my childhood and watching these guys TV show. Thank you guys!
A Surrey born & raised boy here, born to a Manchestrian mum. This was her dad’s favourite song. Listening to this on the night I actually move to Manchester. :))
I loved the Monkees! Loved their tv show on Saturday mornings, loved their music and loved their positive energy. It always looked like they were having fun!
A beautiful comment, Cynthia! I completely agree. Bestest memories of my Saturday mornings, as a little kid. I really didn't lknow what I was watching, but I felt the love. Stayed with my up and into my 60th year.
This song is one of few that makes me want to tear up. I’m a Beatles fan but this song is just as good as any. The melody is melancholic and cheerful at the same time. Chorus is hypnotizing that I wouldn’t have minded if it went on for another hour.
This was my Dad's favourite song and we listened to it together on many occasions. He passed away on the 21st of February 2019. This was played at his funeral as we carried him in and I still listen to it almost every day since. He was so happy for the career I was trying to get in to and it makes me try harder to show him I can do it and to make him proud. I love you Dad and thank you for your service.
I had a connection behind the scenes of The Monkees years ago due to my animal campaigns. Davy Jones once wrote to me and had champagne waiting for me when I went to see him. His friend sent me a photo of Davy with his racehorse. A long time ago now. RIP Davy. ❤🐇
I lived near Dave Jones in East Manchester in the 80's, I saw him once or twice in the post office on Hyde Road between Debdale park and Denton Golf Club!!
David Thomas Jones born December 30th, 1945 died February 29th, 2012. Married three times. He has 4 daughters Talia, Sarah, Jessica and Annabel. 3 grandkids Harrison, Lauren and Phoenix. He loved horses. His daughters now care for the 14 horses he had at the time of his death. He was a wonderful entertainer, musician, singer and song writer. He will live on forever!
@@JP-sm4cs A lot of groups have writers. The thing about them is that they were so cute and entertained us. What a sweetheart, Davie, seriously. They were not really meant to be a serious group; they had a TV show and entertained us. Yet, I really did appreciate the music of Michael Nesmith. Joanne. C'mon, they were sweet and cute and I had a huge crush on Micky!
These guys, this music, such nostalgia, brings back memories of some of the best times of my life! I can't help but smile when I watch these Monkees videos.
To a 7 year old Dutch boy at that time this song represented the USA, the country were I wanted to live when I grew up. I never lived there, but visited the USA on a regular basis in the last 35 years. I always had this song with me when I traveled there, consecutively on 8-track, cassette, portable CD player, MP3 player, USB stick and now Spotify. Greatest song ever!
Travel Bird: Whatever is said about the U.S. where I'm from we and England produced such wonderful short songs. Sorry not the Dutch, French, Germans, Russians, Croatian, Italians, Arabs, Hindus, Japanese, Chinese....!!! Yes in past centuries Europe was supreme in art and music!
I was born in 1960. Times were certainly different. I grew up in South Australia. I had 8 siblings and wonderful parents. I used to rush home from school to watch the Monkeys tv show. I just loved the music! Still very close to all my family and we often talk about those great times.
Wonderful music. Times were innocent where I grew up. Married my high school sweetheart and recently celebrated our 52nd wedding anniversary. Other places in the US may not have been so innocent. Music connects us all together.
RIP Peter. The Monkees were a big part of my life when I was a kid. So much so it is all still pretty clear in my mind some 40+ years later. Thanks for the fun times!
I lived through the 60's and this song pierces my heart with so many memories and so much wholesome goodness! Thank you God for so much of your goodness!
Dad's favourite song, died in 2014, absolutely legendary song.
Same here
..
It is an awesome song 🎵!!!!
A great man is always missed
Wasn't mine but this always played at the Holiday site we went to, he died when I was 11 in 2018, this takes me back to those moments in the bar with the live musicians singing this and everyone waving there hands along, truly a blessed time
Great memories from my younger days. 😊
"Cheer up, sleepy Jean," on that minor three chord, especially with the harmony, is one of the sweetest moves in all of music
Oh what can it mean
Yes😄
Cheer up, sleepy jeen
My freind my John Fitzgerald Kennedy actuality wrote this!
@Jackary106 no he didn't. He is not mentioned anywhere in the credits. John Stewart is the writer.
I been a fan since 1966. I actually CRIED when Davy passed. Same with Peter.I didn't want The Monkees to get old, I wanted them to stay just like they are in this video!

1961 totally agree
Born in 83 and at least had a very passionate Dad who taught me all about the good music from his time 😊
Can you tell us something more about that era, how was life back then?

Unfortunately time outlasts everyone
Not as cool as HERMAN'S HERMITS.

Absolutely agree!! ❄️🏴

Listen to HERMAN'S HERMITS greatest hits.
They are my favorite band and they always put me in a good mood.
But slightly melancholy

Me too! Times never to be repeated 😢
I remember being puzzled by Mickie’s new hair in this video😅
RiP........
Another piece of music history....gone forever 😭
Just his body. His contribution to music history will live on.
Tom A, The Monkees songs are assured of a place in music history. In particular Daydream Believer, many bands who play local areas still do this song. Cos its a floor filler and a great song.
Tom A The great thing about music, it’s forever.
It won't be gone if the people of today continue to remember it
I agree. As long as those of us from this era are around it wont be gone. Tis song is often sung at parties, dances with people and kids of all age groups singing this.....this is one song that will cascade down a good few generations.
I just saw Micky Dolenz in concert on 9/15/23. It was a blast from the past. And a reminder of how much fun the Monkees really were. There was a moving tribute to all the members of the band. Great concert. Micky still has it. :)

Absolutely adored The Monkees, laughs and music, just pure joy. RIP Mike.
RIP Mike!
Nothing like it anymore all trash music now,very sad.
Pure joy for sure. They will live in our hearts forever.
Didn't know he passed away. Sad.
He was cool
Always filled the dance floor at university ♥
Rest in Peace Mike Nesmith! Enjoyed their music then and now!
Yes Mr Nesmith knew how to move hearts and minds, yes he did. RIP Mr Nesmith, I know your TRUE value.
He did well playing despite his tie getting in the way
Regardless of if the Monkees wrote their own tunes or not - or played their own instruments or not - this tune can automatically make one feel good. A classic for all time this song, not just a '60s classic. Thank you to all the Monkees.
Yeah it'd really sad how much they were limited and looking at the video now, it makes sense why so many notes and tunes are not accounted for. Regardless the band is a true classic!
@@RyonTeachesMugen agreed. They made a big impact. This song is an absolute gem.
My childhood innocence wrapped up in a great sing a long song
@@glennbartram2620 great song choice, Glenn. This song is very uplifting. The Monkees definitely had talent.

Ah the innocent days . Wish we could go back to this .
Innocent!!?? I don`t know where you were in the late 60`s, but
Oh, you mean you don’t like the wokeness, the gender confusion, the trans activism, Bidenomics, the Ukraine war, inflation, invasion on our southern border, fentanyl, Joe Biden, the corrupt Marxist Democrat party
Must be great living in the past
@@dancingvirgil Don`t nostalgic fools make you wanna slap them too? Cuz I do.
1967 wasn't so innocent. 1:47 Mickey isn't that innocent - look at that hand gesture.
My absolute favorite song of the Monkees! Their music was and is so much fun to listen to!
I know mine too! I was three years old whent his came on and my brother was 12 and I would sit in front of the tv and say "Mike! Mike!" I STILL love Mike Nesmith- he wrote to me and sent me signed gifts a few times ove the years he was an absolute love, for sure! I treasure my letter from him! One of my first images I think of from that age of three was their legs walking intertwined like that! :P! I met Peter Tork in 1980 on Micky's brithday at the Playboy club in NJ- OH MY GOD I was toast - 26 French kisses he gave me- we were together like three hours- OH, I was just mezmerized by him! My mother was too- she said he was so intelligent and charismatic- he WAS too! His voice in my ear gave me chills- I will never forget the way he said my name, ohhhhhhh talk about swoon! He is tall too! I was 16 :) what a way to learn how to French Kiss! i didn't even have a boyfriend- never kissed a boy, util Peter WWOWOWOWO! Theh funny thing was, I said to my mother the next day that I didn'tknow why he was pressing my thigh with his knee-- she siad, "OH MY GOD! THAT WASN"T HIS KNEE!!!!"Kimberly
Check out Mickey making wacky faces at Davey Jones in the beginning of the song right after Davey stands up. I cannot help but laughing every time. Dolenz was and still is funny as hell!!
And this was the song that many other artists rejected. Even David Jones didn't want to sing it. But it became one of their 3 number one world wide hits. Go figure.
@@sidecarmisanthrope5927 I don`t think you were talking to me, but your comment came to my not. bell. I never knew anything about the backstory, if you will, on D.B., but it sounds like most Monkees tunes being brushed off with discain by the guys because they wanted to do their own material..sorry for misspell on disdain. Looking back with the mind of an adult and musician, the boys were really given a ticket to stardom and had a fuckton of good songs to work with. I still love some old Monkees tunes but they were just that; boys. Naive boys without a clue about the industry.
一時はつまらないものとしてほうみった
Thanks to the guy who wrote it! It fits Davi’s voice perfectly, can’t imagine anyone else singing it, a classic!❤
Found the info: "Daydream Believer is a song composed by American songwriter John Stewart shortly before he left The Kingston Trio. The single reached No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart in December 1967, remaining there for four weeks, and peaked at No. 5 on the UK Singles Chart." (Wiki)
Thanks! ... people often forget about the composers-writers... @@petemyates8598
RIP Davey Jones 🏴
Actually it was too high for Davey's voice but he obviously worked it out. Watch the movie Daydream Believers.
It doesn’t sound high for his voice att all
RIP Michael, thank you for bringing joy into my childhood as I struggle with life's trials. You plus the other Monkees made me forget what was happening. You gave me peace and rest for a short while as I enjoyed the show on Saturday morning.
I'm sorry to hear you had an unhappy childhood. Absolutely no child should be put through anything but love. I'm glad the Monkees could free you if only for a while x
Same here. Rip Michael with Davy in heaven.
@@vilmalugay3401 And Peter!
hello how are you doing today?
Rest in Peace Davy Jones.....this is a beautiful song
Loved his dancing in this song
Caesars in Windsor ontario Canada, in the past, had The Monkees performing. I wished I could have taken my dad to see them....but its not the same without Davy Jones 😥💝💗💖❤
Marsha loved Davey!❤
I am 65, listening and singing with him allready third time in a roll, and crying like baby, tears are falling like waterfall bringing all fhe memories from those days of my youth with diferent music, diferent life philisophy snd emotions.❤
Hey madam/sir, I'm Gen X (1973) and I vaguely remember seeing some of The Monkeys' shows on re-run channels, and I just loved them. I'm re-visiting some of their songs and remembering their own magic. They are/were really talented for their time, and I'm glad they are still people from your generation reveling in their music, still. Cheers :)
@@rhequiemI was born in 73' too. I remember them on TV.
64 here… and still loving it!❤
🤗🥰 I understand completely ❤🩹💖
I’m right there with you Marina, I was born in ‘71 and I loved The Monkees through reruns of their TV show. This song always makes me feel good, brings me back to the late 70’s. Where has the time gone to…?
I'm 65 and it sill gives megoossbumps🎉🎉🎉❤❤
The Monkees had so many great songs! I still love ‘em!❤❤❤❤❤
We used to rush home from primary school to watch these guys, because they were so cool at the time. They were a great band, and their music was ideal for television. ❤😊
"Daydream Believer" is a song composed by American songwriter John Stewart.
RIP Micheal Nesmith. Believe it or not, back in the 80s they were still showing reruns of the Monkees on Saturday mornings after cartoons. What a treat. Kids who stream will never understand nor the satisfaction of Saturday mornings.
Yep. RIP Mike Nesmith, Peter Tork and Davy Jones. God bless you, Micky Dolenz. I also remember Saturday mornings watching 'The Monkees' in the early 80's reruns. Heck of a theme tune.
I also remember watching a couple of the reruns in the late 70’s (my cartoon age).
Now I know I'm an old-timer. I watched the in the 70s.
Yeah I was one of those lucky kids to have watched the monkees after Saturday morning cartoons.
I saw reruns as a teenager in the 2010's thanks to channel 26. Their show and music will always have a special place in my heart.
Amazing！I can hear and SEE this now! I am a 66-year-old Japanese woman, and I loved The Monkees Sow when I was a little girl. Daydream Believer has been one of my favorite songs for the past 50-60 years!
How beautiful!!!
I loved this song for my whole life!!!!
Your just a spring chicken. I'm 69 ha ha. I sing it at the Karaoki in the UK at Skegness Little City Pub Saturdays from 8pm.
Hi there, I like to sing Daydream Believer at Karaoki here at the Skegness resort in the UK but one day I would like to visit Japan and sing in Karaoki there for you. I'm a 69 yr old English man.
@@TH-ns5mbSeems like there’s a few 69 Year old folks commenting here,well I’m in your club too.😂😂
I’ll bet you feel like a very young Japanese lady when you listen to this though! Take care, love from N Ireland 🇮🇪
Born 1958 ,watched the monkeys right through my early years, brings back lost memories watching this. ❤
Same here! 😊 it was one of my very first records
In a troubled time, this song made a lot of people smile. It still does.
The problem is that we got more Karen's today and they find joyful music repulsive..
Still makes me smile 😊
Facts
I 100% agree my friend
I know what you mean…!!
Never heard this song before my auntie Jeans funeral, it was her song as her coffin was carried, and it was so beautiful. The lyric ''Cheer up sleepy Jean'' will always get me, that was the only lyric I comprehended at her funeral, and every time I listen to this song it reminds me of her. Its such a cheerful song, and she was such a wonderful, cheerful person. This is a beautiful piece of music for me to remember my auntie Jean, it suits her so well 💕💕
So glad it brings you great memories of a beloved aunt.
I had a sister Jeannie, and she loved "Daydream Believer", too. I think she really liked the fact that Davy Jones was the lead vocalist in it. She, too, was greatly loved and was a beautiful person. She passed away in early 2020, a few weeks after our mother.
Amen
This made me tear up a little 🥹 I love everything about this
Just hearing the Monkees brings me back to the 60s when I was a kid. It brings tears to my eyes because it was such a great childhood that I had and that the Monkees were a part of!
So true. A decade of turmoil for adults but oh what a great time to be a child!
woot
That country is no more. A great loss the world will regret.
And I thought Davy Jones was cute(as I'm sure hundreds of others did too)...how fast time goes by....
The 60s and 70s were the greatest.dont care what anyone says .would not change them times for anything
68 years old and still love this song.
40 and I love the Monkees. Watched them as a kid...didn't realize they were older shows back then
64 los escucho y me calman la ansiedad. Recuerdos de mi tierna juventud, me siento feliz por ello.
I 'm 69 and love this
65 yrs old and i liked their tv show too.back in the day....
Me too. Love these guys, all these years later.
Don’t be sad that they’re gone. Be happy they lived.
So many great people who have gone😢
Everytime I think of this song or watch it I get tears in my eyes😢
Sorry😔
They still live in another world.
@@AnitaTimmermansyhea😢
I played this not long ago and the response from my mom was unexpected. She got a big smile on her face and said “Awww the Monkees! Reminds of when I was a little girl.” She’s pushing 70. So great to hear songs from your youth and it brings back good memories.
It was from my mom’s childhood. It was from mine from the Monkee’s reruns. It’s famous again today. You can’t keep a great song down!
Classic song. 🤙🏼
I will embrace 72 on 4/30 and I still love love this Davy Jones piece . . . I loved Davy.
I'm 68, never missed their show.
60's rule.
We can never go back, except in our memories....
@AnitaMariaWhite Felicidades por tus 72 aniversario🎂🍾🎉desde Mexico😮🥳
Nice story.
What great memories; as a kid, your Saturday wasn’t complete unless you watched the Monkeys bizarre TV show! 😂 But boy they had some great music!
Monkees
The Monkees were on tv in Philly weekdays after school
Lol my son.
🙏 amen
Great stuff!
A song from my childhood. Full of fond memories. It will never fade into oblivion. Thank you Monkees for being a part of my life.
Watch this at night, without any exogenous stimuli. It's almost as if the era comes alive again.
Yep. Me too. Met all except Mike. Loved all. Mickey was so fun. He even sang I'm a Believer to my niece when she was 7 dancing on a table at Harrah's Tahoe.
I'm was 13 when I first heard this song...along with Batman on a black & white TV:) later.
Agree totally. I just recall sitting in front of the TV and my Dad would sometimes sit down and even he laughed at their antics. Just a pure sound that brings out the best childhood memories.
Thats the TRUTH! TV was Soooo Great then! Monkees, Wild wild west! Rat Patrol! Clay Coles Discotheque! Chiller Theater! Lost In Space! Time Tunnel! Etc Etc! No Screens! Noo Buttons! Just Simple Enjoyments.. Was a GOOD time to be a kid.... God Bless.
I loved The Monkeys growing up. I watched the TV series and remember the walk. A great group from the 60's. Who cannot sing along to this.
Loved watching these guys! RIP Peter Tork :(
And Davy Jones

I don't care how old you are, or how old you get to be. If this song doesn't make you happy and feel young again, you've had a misspent youth...😀
And we all cry to copy his dance moves😊😊

68 and counting... and still listen to these guys!
69 years young 😁
No diría que mi juventud fue feliz

Today, I have tears in my eyes listening to this.... just as I did when Peter passed in 2019..... you’ll be missed, mike.... so so much along with Peter and Davy. Thank you for the music, memories and happiness 💕
What a great lost we miss you and the memories still remains i love your songs
You sound like a wonderful person, Katie. Be well!
Davy knows how to dance old time. Greatest Monkeys song ever.
You took the word's out of my mouth, that style of dancing was late 1950's and 60's, you really have to hand it to him; if I were to try that l'd end up in Hospital. They were a great group.
I'm in tears. Life was so beautiful then! And now, as I have gracefully aged, holding tight to my past, musically.
I agree with you. Not sure how gracefully I have aged. But times from my past are locked into some wonderful memories. It looks as though you embrace a culture as well. I do also. A much different one. But music has always been magical to me. Far back in my youth. I still have an extensive music collection. And every song brings me to a place or person. Many I've lost. Families mostly were bigger in my time. 8 in mine all gone but 1. Most were lost at young ages. But these songs refresh that time for me. It's magical as I said. ✌️☮️🌹🥲

"Daydream Believer", a song about the loss of innocence and the anticipation of responsibility, is a timeless slice of pure pop by 'The Monkees', with a joyous swinging camaraderie to it, that's seldom been bettered since.
John Stewart wrote it. The Monkees' performed it with a word change.
@@tomsampson8084 yes, so its 'by The Monkees'
@@jocook17 Stewart reluctantly agreed to the word change as it was the only way the management company would use the song. Stewart has the writing credit and collected the writing royalties for the rest of his life.
What a beautiful description!
@@tomsampson8084 yes i know all writers do. It's still a monkees song.
Take me back please. The good ol days. Not like today were everything is hate and war. ❤
Everything isn't hate and war. Are you on the same planet as I am?
Great sound, uplifting harmony and simple messages. the Monkees and so many other great bands in the mid-late 60s are sorely missed today.
I hope Mickey sticks around he's the last surviving member of a point in history
Perfect for the end of a slasher video game

A friend of mine always says "keep your spirit high!"
Born in 1956.What a rollercoaster.Saturday mornings with the Monkeys
I was a kid in school when this was on TV. I could hardly wait to watch the Monkees. They had such high morals and their music was a lot of fun to listen to. I still enjoy their music even to this very day. 😊
Same here I was 9 and the 3 great TV shows were Scooby Doo, The Banana Splits and The Monkees.
Same here!
Oh yeah ! I was a member of The Banana Splits club ! Good times . You could get a 45 on the back of their cereal boxes , that was so damn cool .
We were all young once and the lucky few remain young forever in our hearts. R.I.P. Peter Tork and thank you for the happy music memories.
Yes, we were all young once! Miss those days!
George Bernard Shaw once said "YOU DON'T STOP PLAYING BECAUSE YOU GROW OLD; YOU GROW OLD BECAUSE YOU STOP PLAYING " I always enjoyed listening to the MONKEYS they were a good group to listen to, saw them once in long beach cali and that was a lot of fun, they were so funny, they were one of the best. R.I.P. Davy and Peter
RIP Michael Nesmith you’ll never be forgotten.
Michael, Peter, and Davy. Poor Mickey
@@robertolmstead1346 yep
Thought for a second you said "Forever forgotten".
*WHAT!?!?* *'Wool Cap Mike' is gone?*
*I didn't know*
( *Like Lennon said in '70 "Don't worry over us, we're alright and so are you and everything you liked of the 'Beatles' is still here, all the records and the films and all that will still be around...we gave you fans the best we had for years and years and now it's time for a long rest and none of you would like to hear and see us at forty or something..."* )
__________
*How wrong he was and didn't know it!*
__________
* 'The Monkees' will live-on long after all the original fans are gone, and that wouldn't be true unless there was real talent and chemistry involved between them, because although a camera may not 'tell the truth of things'...it doesn't 'lie' either*
*WE know the difference between 'fake' and 'real' and what we saw and heard from the 'American Fab Four' was real even if it was never intended to be*
__________
*I saw an interview with Nesmith here on 'Tube and he talked about Peter Tork and how Mike seemed to just 'always not quite right' and "Not the friend I should've been" with Peter in being 'not enemies but not close the way we should have been' and that when an assistant told him where he working said "I just heard that Peter has died" it felt "Like I was kicked in the guts and my heart stopped because I never got the the chance to tell him I loved him and didn't know it and now it's too late to even say goodbye to him*
( *Mike looked like he going to burst into tears right on camera and trying hard not to* )
__________
*I have a friend 'Leon' that I knew from Kindergarten all the way to 7th. grade and we were always 'pals' but what I didn't realize was how poor he was...I had no real concept of what it meant to not have any money in a pocket for a snack or matinee movies or a bag of candy*
*My family was not 'rich' at all but there was always money for me to have for lunch at school and for 'after' and I always got 'movie money' at least twice a month and Leon had none of that and the 'little house' he and his mom lived-in would be considered 'cheap' and 'poor' even in the late '50's thru the '60's in Dearborn, Mi.*
*How I wish I could see him now after more than fifty-years have passed, and tell him "I'm sorry for not being a better friend than I was but I just didn't know any better and now that I know it makes my heart hurt that I wasn't as good to you as you were to me and I'M SORRY*
( *We moved from Dearborn to Las Vegas in early '68 and I never even thought to say 'Goodbye' to him and get his address so I could write to him or maybe call sometimes* )
*WHAT AN A-HOLE I WAS TO HIM and I still don't understand 'Why?'*
RIP to a great musician & entertainer
RIP Davy Jones. You were one of the giants of music of the 20th century!
A few months back, my aunt and I went to the Monkees Farewell Tour which featured Micky and Michael. It was a good show, and after today, I'm thankful we got to see the remaining two before it became the remaining one. Rest in peace, Michael Nesmith. You will be missed down here.
I'm jealous. I had to work the night they came to my town just a few weeks ago, I guess closer to the end of the tour, and I couldn't go. 😢 And now Micky is the only one left.
@@sadfaery forever they will be the best band in the world rip
You're so lucky to have been able to see them. Nez was my favorite and his passing saddened me more than I expected. 😭
I absolutely loved the monkees. Couldnt wait for their show. The sound is so upbeat as was their performance.
The music lives on in us forever.
RIP Peter ❤️🐒
It's God's theme song. He was pleased with this melody.
The cute, goofy, adorable guys of my youth! Fun Times.
Usually when people sing they don't have an accent. Davey clearly does. I love it.
Absolutely so true. Love this song.
Me too every time I sing it i always put an emphasis on the BUT x
"But it rings"
That has always bothered me. Sing with your real accent.
Mike once said this was his favorite of the tunes Davy sang and I agree. One of their best songs. Hard to believe Davys gone 3 years already. Love the Monkees!
Davy Jones could play the drums better than Mickey. He also played the piano, guitar, and saxophone!
And now Peter's gone too
Their best song. I STILL get goosebumps when I hear it.
By far their best song
Absolutely Agree !
Pleasent Valley Sunday!
Me too
Thank you for being part of my world. As we slowly loose those we grew up hearing and enjoying, I’m so grateful for the joy and great memories they’ve all given to me. Thank you Mike, Peter, Davy, and Mickey for always bringing a smile to my face. Sending eternal love and thanks.
breaks my heart that mickey's all that's left
What a great lost we miss you and the memories still remains i love your songs
This song is 2 minutes and 46 seconds of pure joy. None of today's songs can match its melody, lyrics and hook.
That's because writing music has become a lost art. Computer programs do the writing now based on an algorithm of what people supposedly want. This is why there has not been a popular song with a key change since 2002. They no longer know how to write a proper melody and don't understand how to use key changes and time changes to enhance and color the mood(s) of a song. That is what's missing from modern music. It reminds me of the Bowie / Ronson collaboration. Bowie wrote the songs on guitar and brought a very crude and basic structure to Ronson who then molded that song into the tunes we know and love. Ronson created the arrangements, key changes and time shifts. That was all 100% Ronson.
Couldn’t agree more. ❤
yesssssss
Listen to The Coral

I was in 2nd grade when this song was released, the melody stayed with me for a whole summer. I was this lil black kid humming this song on the playground all summer, til my sister got tired of me screwing the lyrics up and bought me the 45 disc. R.I.P. Rita, and this will always be our song.

Hearing the song always puts me in a better mood and makes me nostalgic for the past.

I loved the Monkees! Loved their tv show on Saturday mornings, loved their music and loved their positive energy. It always looked like they were having fun!
Hello dear how are you doing today

THE best band
This song is one of few that makes me want to tear up. I’m a Beatles fan but this song is just as good as any. The melody is melancholic and cheerful at the same time. Chorus is hypnotizing that I wouldn’t have minded if it went on for another hour.
yes!
This is exactly how I feel lol
The Monkeys were fun time guys that happened to make a living and have fun doing it, very rare in history.
Song is g** as all hell.
I feel exactly the same way. Right down to being a huge Bestles fan.
My favorite Monkees song.
This was my Dad's favourite song and we listened to it together on many occasions. He passed away on the 21st of February 2019. This was played at his funeral as we carried him in and I still listen to it almost every day since. He was so happy for the career I was trying to get in to and it makes me try harder to show him I can do it and to make him proud. I love you Dad and thank you for your service.
は?
My condolences for your loss.
Peace be with you and your Dad.
I am so sorry for your loss.
Awww, that seems so sad 😥 God bless your family!
Peter Tork (the guy playing the piano) also died on that day. Does your dad happen to be him?
It’s sad that Micky is the last one remaining, but it also warms heart that he is still here to keep the memories of his bandmates alive.
I had a connection behind the scenes of The Monkees years ago due to my animal campaigns. Davy Jones once wrote to me and had champagne waiting for me when I went to see him. His friend sent me a photo of Davy with his racehorse. A long time ago now. RIP Davy. ❤🐇
💘🙏
I lived near Dave Jones in East Manchester in the 80's, I saw him once or twice in the post office on Hyde Road between Debdale park and Denton Golf Club!!
@nickbarnes71. Wow, what a treat that would be..to run into Davy in the neighborhood. ❤😀
OMG..are you a 🐇person too?❤ Check out my son Baby🐇! They are earth angels!❤❤❤

This song never gets old!
It’s got it all
It's fab
No, but I did! Lol
@Tara Doring Thanks for the tip!
No it doesn’t.
These guys were so underrated...such a great song
Here after Peter's death. Him and Davy are together now. RIP ♥️♥️♥️
Never got the true recognition they deserved 😢😢😢
They didn't write this song.
@@smithaustin624 who did? Is there an original by a different artist?
@@JP-sm4cs A lot of groups have writers. The thing about them is that they were so cute and entertained us. What a sweetheart, Davie, seriously. They were not really meant to be a serious group; they had a TV show and entertained us. Yet, I really did appreciate the music of Michael Nesmith. Joanne. C'mon, they were sweet and cute and I had a huge crush on Micky!
@@JP-sm4cs This is the original, they just didn't write it. John Stewart did.
These guys, this music, such nostalgia, brings back memories of some of the best times of my life! I can't help but smile when I watch these Monkees videos.
Possibly the greatest Pop song ever ...
To a 7 year old Dutch boy at that time this song represented the USA, the country were I wanted to live when I grew up. I never lived there, but visited the USA on a regular basis in the last 35 years. I always had this song with me when I traveled there, consecutively on 8-track, cassette, portable CD player, MP3 player, USB stick and now Spotify. Greatest song ever!
You’ve got good taste.
My favourite
Travel Bird: Whatever is said about the U.S. where I'm from we and England produced such wonderful short songs. Sorry not the Dutch, French, Germans, Russians, Croatian, Italians, Arabs, Hindus, Japanese, Chinese....!!! Yes in past centuries Europe was supreme in art and music!
Gene is a junkie. Cheer up sleepy gene, of what can it mean?
Bedankt meneer, jij heb gelijk!
The unmistakable voice of Davy Jones
Amazing!!!
👍 nice 👍👏😃😅😂
He could keep a beat, too.
Wasn't he wonderful...? And beyond cute!
He was so cute
A great song from my childhood that I never get tired of hearing. The Monkees really were underrated as artists.
Some people like this even more with the arrival of WandaVision
I was born in 1960. Times were certainly different. I grew up in South Australia. I had 8 siblings and wonderful parents. I used to rush home from school to watch the Monkeys tv show. I just loved the music! Still very close to all my family and we often talk about those great times.
Wonderful music. Times were innocent where I grew up. Married my high school sweetheart and recently celebrated our 52nd wedding anniversary. Other places in the US may not have been so innocent. Music connects us all together.
RIP Peter. The Monkees were a big part of my life when I was a kid. So much so it is all still pretty clear in my mind some 40+ years later. Thanks for the fun times!
I loved The Monkees so so much, whole room plastered with their pictures! Saw in concert twice in Cincinnati! I have all their albums!
I lived through the 60's and this song pierces my heart with so many memories and so much wholesome goodness! Thank you God for so much of your goodness!
yes agree
I'm with ya'll! 60s were the best for sure. Peace and happy memories!
To everyone who loves this song 🎵 your all beautiful people ❤️🏴❤️
This masterpiece was favorite song of my wife...👍🏴
