Yesterday when i was young Videos

You must be mad if you think Adele's scratchy coarse vocals are better than Dusty's.

Except Adeles is better

+sheila ryan He's not lost, just on the astral plane, hoping you're not too sad.

Thanks for the info, wonderful lyrics!

+JanetLeeuwerik That is how the song is written. The English-language lyrics, written by Herbert Kretzmer, tell of a man reflecting on his life. He recounts how he had wasted his youth on self-centered pursuits, and that, now that he is older, he will not be able to do all that he had planned; this implies that he may be close to his impending death. The original music was written by Charles Aznavour and released in 1964, with the original name of "Hier Encore" which translates to Only Yesterday.

+Charles Province And to say that it is another Charles who composed this song. "Hier encore" by Charles Aznavour. have a good day.

+Charles Province Try weed...

+Charles Province ... or remembering how good it was.

+James Rush SO TRUE

+James Rush I think it's the scottish roots. At least thats the way she explained it.

+James Rush how do you know Dusty Springfield was lonely?

+James Rush excellent comment

Yes I allraedy have done so also in spring! I love also the version of Charles Aznavour very much. Thanks Qahtan Nami

+Taco Veldstra you should listen to the original song Charles Aznavour , i love this song , it moves me , this song should be heard in the spring i think ,,,, oh i think it was spring when i first time heard it lol ,, it is so beautiful

Your right Brown Paw thank you Brown Paw

+Taco Veldstra Yes, goosebumps. That's what her voice gives me. What a talent.

Thank you Connie Benson

Dusty Springfield great nostalgic song! Yesterday when I was young!

+Steve Nichols I did also. I though I would hear the chorus from "Yesterday", and it never come, but it was very recognizable.

yes....i think so.

+Jeff Cox I grew up listening to Roy because of my dad.  Recognized as soon as I heard her concert performance which aired tonight on NBC.

+Jeff Cox Yep stole the vocal melody from this song and the instrumentals from Ahmet Kaya... Haha no need for Missy Gallant to do a mashup of two songs, cuz she already did!

+Jeff Cox  It took me a week to figure out what song A Million Years Ago reminded me of....that's why I'm listening to this now.... I wonder if any one can do a mash -up between the two songs......

Two drastically different song you fool.

+Jeff Cox I was listening to Adele's new album and told my wife it sounds a lot like "yesterday when I was young" and looks like i'm not alone....wonder if there will be a lawsuit?

+Charles Wright me too.

+Ken Bennett I am 54 and I don't think it has gone by very fast. I can remember all the places I have lived, the people I have known, and the things I have done. When I cannot, then and only then, I will wonder how it went by so fast. The best advice I can think of is don't take wooden nickels.

+Suzi McMillon Thanks man, I could not find that out anywhere. It's a shame that the lyricist usually is forgotten.

+marc gabourie Charles Aznavour

+John BatsonWe all have our choices. Yours is a great song also. The song by Roy Clark is totally telling of how I have lived my life and I'm sorry for doing so. A lot of precious love is what I wasted. Take care.

+09jitters Not mine Pal. Speit  in the sky. Lee Greenbaum.

+An Ombre RoseThanks for your post. I have and always will turn it over to him. My wrongs are my past now. It's funny, I learned so much of who I was form the words of this song. Take care.

+09jitters Jesus. Turn it all over to Jesus. He can, He is Able...

+Davis Jen - bittersweet... but yes.. bless her, im glad she still has memories she can enjoy and im suitably impressed..what a man... i wish i could dance with charles aznavour - he's LOVELY. ooh. i need to go have a lie down now.

That is very sweet. Your mother is so fortunate to have such a story to tell.

¡Jajajajajajaja!

pues si, no quise decir antes que cuando lo oigo cantar en inglés me tirita el aura, pero sí que esta es una linda canción.

Siempre fue mi favorita, aunque su inglés sea de puta pena... La versión francesa, "Hier encore" la conozco menos.

buena canción del gran Charles Aznavour...

+Mr. Grandmaster me to so sad

+Mr. Grandmaster  What is the alternative to not getting old? Think about it

+Mr. Grandmaster Don't knock it until you've tried it

So who is second best?

Elton surprises me with this one and I don't know the gentleman doing the duet with him, but while Roy Clark owns this song like no one else, I would like to hear Elton do this as a solo. I could be the flip side of Don't let the Sun Go Down on Me"

Le monde actuel, secoué par des conflits absurdes, a un besoin inconscient de se sentir protégé. Ces deux voix, arrivées à maturité, répondent jsutement à cet urgent besoin de réconfort. Et si après eux c'était le chaos ?

@valmart49 "the gentleman" is Charles Aznavour, one of the greatest singers of all times. I'd recommend listening his other songs. Try "She" or "La Boheme" for start. You'll enjoy.

My greatest possible greetings for lyricist, author of music, Aznavour and all members who performed the song .. hat down to the floor

superbe interpretation en anglais comme celle en français "hier encore", deux des plus grands maîtres de la chanson !!! bravo !!!

Ii ran so fast that time and youth At last ran out I never stopped to think what life ...life was all about " so true...

どんなに誠実に懸命に生きても，その人生が一瞬にして否定されることもある。

I love this song and was suprised to hear it sung by two such different people but I absolutely love it.

You don't appreciate this sort of lyric until you get to 50. I reckon it must be the same for everyone!

just put this on my blog (94 Nations) for Roy Clark's 82nd Birthday! //stanmajor.blogspot.com/

two great sigers from GB AND ARMENIAN ,FRENCH ELTON.J AND CHARLES Aznavour .

I just found the sheet music, played it a few times, and had to hear it. Good ol' YouTube. Wow.

My Grandfather like this song, he always told me this song remind him, when he was young.

i really like this timeless song! thanks elton you made this song more memorable for me

ABSOLUTELY MARVELLOUS ! I never tire of listening to this one and that in French too..

I've heard many versions of this song, besides roy clarks, this one is amazing :)

MUSICA FANTASTICA !!! DOIS MONSTROS , QUE DEIXARÃO SAUDADES...............

Played over 40 times and still playing. Its Awesome. I just can say wow

+Zeds Dead Baby If I deleted any comments, i didn't mean to. But I have a question - what do you mean by original version? Roy Clark is the original singer.

+Karen w because they liked the original version better i guess, you deleted my comment but i said it again

+Karen w it's because so many of this generation has no taste and no soul, so sad

a favorite

+Montgomery Denzer -Sounds like a good idea

+Hans Zarkov Become a new creature in Christ. I'm 65 and He has filled my old tired heart with all sorts of joy. Joy that I can appreciate even more because of my age. Remember ....there's more room in a broken heart.

+Hans Zarkov Well I know I would be out running five miles six days a week, and enjoying every pounding heartbeat.I for one remember and miss it.

+Hans Zarkov Maybe besides the regrets there are some proud experiences?? As long as we are alive it is not too late. let us look forward... not back.... if we can.

+rgb3008inI'm sorry for your loss. Someone once told me that a famous verse in the Bible about making it to the finish line wasn't really about the struggle to spread the Gospel, but just the struggle to make it through this life. I'm not sure if that is true, but I wouldn't doubt it. 

+Hans Zarkov You have said everything that I feel myself.  Just a few months ago I lost my grandson and I have pretty much given up on life.  I am just bidding my time here on earth until GOD takes me.

+Terri TarHeel I am happy to see that my memory that Roy Clark was deceased is WRONG! :>)

+Dajuro i hear you. Loud and clear. Touched my heart. i am there too

+Stargazar Me too, Stargazar. And because of my dad’s influence I have a wide interest in music. Maybe the problem is that we have run out of tunes to write and structures have become so complex, tune is less relevant.Namaste and care,mhikl

+Dawleen Lie Thank you so much!
