I am 74 now, and still can't understand where time goes. In my heart, when I hear this song and others of the 60's, I'm 16 and walking in the dark along the summer beach with my girlfriend. All our friends could see were four distant white legs by the surf. The music plays and I'm 'back there in a heartbeat'.
@@mushrooms19 I still do. Born in 1980 my Parent's introduced me to what great Music truly sounds like when I was a small child. I will be forever thankful to them and enjoy this kind of Music for all my life ❤
To anybody reading this, I pray that whatever is hurting you or whatever you are constantly stressing about gets better. May the dark thoughts, the overthinking, and the doubt exit your mind may clarity replace confusion. may peace and calmness fill your life.
God, you have that right. Though Madonna is critizied for her overt sexuality, she has some beautiful songs on the record, no pun intended. This used to be my playground, Take a Bow, I'll remember, You'll see, Live to tell, Oh Father, Majesty, etc. Of course, she is post-60's. One song that is reminicient of the 60's is TRUE BLUE. In the 60's, I loved The Association, Loving Spoonful(Summer in the City), Peter and Gordon(I Go to Pieces), The Outsiders(Time Won't Let Me) and many other groups, duos, and individual singers. Now I have to go Downtown.
@@michaelwilson9925 Madonna is kind of my grandmother, but I have a huge crush on her! 😁🤣 But she does have good songs. I loved her version of 'Don't cry for me Argentina'. Also, 'Cherish', 'Borderline', 'La Isla Bonita', 'Live to tell' are my favourites, only to name some.
@ TFoxyBoy… Bless your sweet heart for being brave enough to say that…so many in your age range would loudly disagree. I’m in my late 70’s so have been lucky enough to have spanned so many genre’s & changes in music. I’ve tried to like most of them (sorta 😂), but, still completely in love with the music starting in the 50’s. The 60’s were magical ( for several reasons). I was young & present to see the likes of Sinatra, Dean Martin, Perry Como, the Righteous Brothers, the onset of Dolly’s career & of course Elvis, Motown & on & on. Not to mention so many of the groups like these guys. So many of these songs take me back to an exact place & time…💝. Good music is a gift to us all….
Music just moves on. It's always exciting. Shame that you can't take in anything new. I'm not saying that old stuff is bad at all. It's just that 80% of people stop listening to new music when they hit their 30s. Fact! Not saying that chart music is any good, but there is brilliant new stuff out there. And there will always be. Btw. the Cascades didn't even play on the recording. It was the Wrecking Crew. Glen Campbell etc.
There's a sense of innocent beauty in the older music which is lacking in the newer "stuff." Take away beauty and you lose hope... The music people listen to reveals their values and where their hearts are. Sadly this explains a lot about the current state if things...
I am also grateful to have experienced my formative years in the 1960s. It was a complex decade, but still offered our younger selves space to 'Be', to dream & grow. BUT...there will be another '60s' decade....'2460s' 😊 No, it won't be our 'Boomer' '60s'...because we were younger..and so was America. My point...let us try and be hopeful for the younger ones who will have their own '60s' to someday look back on....their own music in which they can hopefully find joy and comfort. P.S. (We were (collectively) something though..weren't we?😉😀...
I think I was 15 when this was a hit. I loved it then and I love it now. Where has the time gone. I'm 75 now, married for 52 years to my high school sweetheart, 3 wonderful children, 4 grandsons, and pretty good health. It doesn't get much better than this! Beautiful memories!!
Im 19 and from India,been listening to the 50s and 60s for a while,just wanna say that music era was far better than what we have now.That era was so golden.
I don't know that the song itself is special so much as the era the song is from. Much of the music from the 60's And 70's was done with emotion. AND, the artists actually learned to play instruments instead of using synthesizers.. So, many of the songs capture an individuals emotions and that makes a song "special" imo.
+rhonda terry I love the music of the 80s and the early 90s. The quality of music has spiraled downward, unfortunately, and so has the moral fiber of society. Songs that degrade women, proclaim violence against police, and is so vulgar in describing sexual activity is not worthy of praise, but of the most pronounced criticism possible. I do not hide my head in the sand. Music has always influenced behavior, and if it's harmful toward youth and society as a whole, I'm against it. The music today is vile, polluted, and is greatly harmful toward our most impressionable youth. Nothing personal against the artists, but the contents have much to be desired. We get all bent out of shape at environmental degradation, but moral degradation poisoning our youth? That's okay. Sorry, I disagree with you as far as far can be. I see the net results of what this music has done and continues to do, and I see a much troubled future n this world. That's how potent good music is, and bad music as well.
+orion deschamps When I was your age I was immersed in the 60s music, and beginning the 70s. Although now my memories are fading, I still look back at that time quite fondly. My youth was quite mild compared to today. I remember the corvairs. They were rather abundant, though today you might see one every now and then. May you live a blessed life, and enjoy music as much as you can.
Right on Antonio , those beautiful memories ! Some of the best memories are the saddest because I know that they will never happen again ! Take Care Friend
Those songs and records are more alive and probably more widely listened to now than they were getting on for 60 years ago. Forever young and forever loved.
I had my second “real” job as a small radio station DJ in 1963, a year after graduating from high school. One of the fondest memories was cueing this one up on a 45 RPM record… and letting it fly to the sound of that thunderclap. The 60’s were a magic time.
I was born in 2002 and I can't resist listening to this kind of music. It's so peaceful and charming, and sung from the heart instead of from auto tune.
The music used to be more about music but don’t forget that today’s young people still do appreciate and still in a very dedicated smaller percentage perform new original pieces of songs like this one , such as this Portugal 2020 performance (click the blue link) czcams.com/video/eYhpZ_eFjGQ/video.html Or this recent emerging artist named Yebba with a sound like the Carpenters czcams.com/video/cFAARmBeUT8/video.html Or this original production from Serbian kids in the 2021 year about life in children’s eyes czcams.com/video/UyQS66swDJU/video.html Or this recent Norwegian Christmas Carol czcams.com/video/kl9ZMxkyYTA/video.html
I am 77 years old, but wgen ever I hear this song, my teen days even my feelings just swayed with the tune and lyrics of this song!! I can not stop to move my body with the rhythm of this song! Very contaminating to the heart and body! I love it.
In my 79th year, and I think back to these great old days. The great music, great lyrics and beautiful times. It was a different world back then .. so much different than today. I wish that there was a place ... a town, a city ... filled with us ... like minded people .. where we could listen to these great sounds and speak to each other ... yes, actually talk to each other and dance in the streets, share beautiful memories and love and care for each other. ShangriLa
A song that rings in my heart even after 60 years.I am 75 .one of the evergreen songs.Even now the rain and thunder falls around me as the song is played.
All of us on here are with you my friend, such music brings us together, and for a few moments fill our hearts and souls with such happiness, and memories.
I'm 78 I remember this song like it was yesterday. Those beautiful times of this kind of music are gone forever..I'm so lucky to have grown up in that era
Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain Telling me just what a fool I've been I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain And let me be alone again The only girl I care about has gone away Looking for a brand new start But little does she know That when she left that day Along with her she took my heart Rain please tell me now does that seem fair For her to steal my heart away when she don't care I can't love another when my hearts somewhere far away The only girl I care about has gone away Looking for a brand new start But little does she know that when she left that day Along with her she took my heart Rain won't you tell her that I love her so Please ask the sun to set her heart aglow Rain in her heart and let the love we knew start to grow Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain Telling me just what a fool I've been I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain And let me be alone again Oh, listen to the falling rain Pitter pater, pitter pater Oh, oh, oh, listen to the falling rain Pitter pater, pitter pater
Thought I was the only one who kn0ws or loves this song never heard it played in coventry when I was growing up I've loved it from day one im now 74 xx
Thank you mom for turning me on to the music of the 50s, 60s 70s and Motown. Greatest music ever. I'm 63 and this is 90% of the music I listen to. I also love Gospel, country, jazz, R&B, rock n roll and blues. Great music
I wish I did because of the music. I started learning a lot of it in the late 80's but do remember my stepmother playing some of the music when I was a kid. My favorite was (do you believe in magic)
I know what you’re went through. I had mines broken too. Your heart will mend back in due time, but it will be awhile or for some never. I hope yours do
Memories, memories. Life is short and it is only when you are old, you realize it. I'm 73. I feel sorry for the young ones today. Life back then was uncomplicated. There were rules like girl/boy, courting, engagement, marriage, baby. Heaven help you if got the last two items round the wrong way. And the music was, with some awful exceptions, beautiful, melodious and romantic. "Rhythm of the rain" is a perfect example.
I'm 56, well next month 1 year older whatever. I grew up with this Music. My dad playing it just about every day. I still love it today. He's passed about six months now and I listen to it more now than ever it reminds me of him and the good old days. Love you pops❤️
I'm 5 years younger than you and it was difficult back then about girls, marriage and babies but I broke all that and was glad I did even if it was often very difficult Also broke the rules about race and sex when I was 20 and often thereafter My first child I was married and the next 2 no but I gave them my name, support and loved them just as much
I wasn't born until the 90s, but I remember listening to this song as a kid because it was one of my mom's favorite songs ever since she was a little girl. So she played it a lot, and in turn, I loved it too!
I used to live with my grandparents when I was 2-4, they would always play this song together with Danke Schoen, Dream Dream Dream and others. I wish I had appreviated those days more often, when we could listen to this song while driving in the countrysides of Malaysia.
Today is the best day of my life. I’m 35 and I have been looking for this song for the past 25 years. I knew it would come one day. Lovely masterpiece ❤️
Brandon Honestly what is the big deal with putting my positive input on here. I wasn't slating anybody, however I know that it comes to a surprise that not a lot of people my age like this style of music and I know a lot of older people who found out that I know most of the 50's and 60's songs, American and British. Can't put something nice on here now days without somebody saying that my opinion is "cringey" as such. Move along.
I'm a teenager, 15 years of age. I remember my dad playing this on the radio of a 4 hour roadtrip. Ever since I've heard of it, it has never left my head. Always calms me down when it's being played. Who cares if it's an oldies song? It's better than WAP!
As you get older and older and listening more to oldies songs, you realize that you're young again and the feelings are much more fantastic and amazing. Just how I feel, that's all.
Man, born in 2002, and this song speaks to me now more than ever, even tho I listened for 8 hears almost. Can't believe my first gf was at 20. She left me for a brand new start, and along with her, she took my heart. Half a year later and it still hurts...
I love growing up in the 60s, the best time in my life. Music, clothes, just a Awesome Time. Everytime a song comes on, I can tell were I was at and with who. I wish we could go back just for a little while.
Hello!!! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you’re a fan ? Have a great day. Stay Safe
I’m 79 loved that song when I was a young lad .I have just found it now on u tube .It’s by the cascades .I’m thrilled to bits .never thought I’d hear that song again .
I used to sing this to my little girl before she was born and then when she was just a baby I'd seen it to her.... Now she's all grown up. And I hope the song means the same to her as it does to me for her
Do you mean you grew up in the 60s and early 70s during the war in Vietnam, or you are a war veteran who fought in Vietnam? You worded that very funny.
+Krishna M they answered the call of war. A call they themselves did not make. Do not call someone who served their country an idoit, call the people who put them in that situation an idiot.
+Krishna M You are an idiot and absolutely ignorant of reality. Those of us who are vets were not there by choice. We were as much the victims of abusive big money as were the beautiful people of Vietnam. Like it or not, we answered our draft calls and went where we were sent. And never forget...more than 55,000 of us never saw our homes and families again.
I was surfing CZcams and this song came up. The last time I heard this song was 50+ years ago. It brought back some good memories of me listening to this song on my small transistor radio tucked under my pillow at night.
Your comment about tucking a small transistor radio under your pillow is the first time I've seen that someone, other than myself, did that. I did that all of the time.
Angela Todd, I have myself a portible late 1940's 56A Gilfillan radio. My father restored it fully last year for me. I bought it for just $30 at the Pomona Swap Meet about four years ago.
I, along with several friends, were going to Latin American and ballroom dancing lessons in the 60's, and I remember being taught the Rumba to this song. Although I can no longer dance, this song will always remind me of those happy days.
I was staying in a hotel in Seattle in 1987, the entertainment was a guy with a guitar and synthesizer. (quite primitive) he played this song, and I had goosebumps. Went to him and told him it was my absolute favorite. He said "thanks, I wrote it!" Eddie Preston. Didn't use that name when he was with the Cascades.
Great song I met a boy at a dance when I was nineteen in 1966 and danced with him to this it was magic and I still feel goose bumps when I hear this song.What a time to be young it was the best.Thanks for the memories💙💙💗
"Listen to the rhythm of a falling rain, Telling me just a fool I've been, I wish that it would it go and let me cry in vain, And let me be alone again . . " Beautiful lyrics, as a poem.
I listened to The Cascades in the early 60 and all their music was great. I was a singer in a band back then and this song was one of our most requested, and it meant a lot to me. A year and a half ago after 35years of marriage my wife decided to wave goodbye, now this song means more to me than ever.
It was 1965 and I was stationed in San Diego Training Center at the ripe old age of 18. As I was walking on liberty, I saw a sign on a niteclub that said, "The Cascades Tonight!" Wow So I went in, but the bouncer would not let me in.On the band break I had stuck around so I could at least talk to the guys. it was cool and they really treated me nice. I asked John if they would do Rhythm of the Rain for me, even though I couldn;'t go in. They open the set with it and I stood in the door way listening. after the set. John one of the other guys came back to the lobby and we talked some more about my writing and stuff. Then My Liberty went from good to great... It just so happened that they were working on a new album and that they would be in the studio on Saturday and would I like to visit while they record? Would I? ... I was there. Little ol JB at 18 in the studio with the Cascades! guys, I dont know if you remember the incident, but I will never forget that Liberty weekend. James "JB" Banfield Blessings to you all.
Brian, I'll bet you your dad remembered the Seaman Recruit standing in the doorway as the guys were singing this song for "That Sailor who old enough to get killed for this country but cant come in to a nightclub and listen to this song... "This is for you James" and he kicked the amp!. What was so cool was the next day on Sat, I had liberty and they invited me to their studio for they were working on the second album... Oh gheez... I the got the bug bigtime...Music music music. Glad your dad was there it was one special night! JB
In the early 60's around 1962 I was 7 years old and my Mom listened to this song on the radio. It was one of her favorite songs. About 20 min ago I got through listening to the Spanish version of this song that was recorded soon after this song became a hit. Most of these songs that were recorded in Mexico that's where the Spanish versions came from. Songs that became hits here in America were later recorded and translated in Spanish by Mexican Rockers in Mexico. They also did an awesome job with this particular song but the Cascades are the original artists. It's a great song and over the years I've heard it countless times on oldies stations. It's a very wonderful song and had to listen to it.
I’m a 16 years old Asian but this song make me feels like I’m an American widower in his 70’s living in a wooden house in the countryside of America, sipping a cup of coffee in a cloudy morning. The atmosphere and the lyric just really give me that feeling hahaha But I’m not complaining. I love this song
When I heard this song , I feel young again....now I'm already 68 years old I heard this song when I was at 6 years old ....time running very fast ...I feel like I heard this song yesterday Those were the days 😢😢😢
When I hear this song I think of my parents, both passed now. They had the radio on all the time, in the house, in the car. We lived out bush and I grew up with music from the 50’s and 60’s. Still some of the best I’ve ever heard.
i was like 8 when i was introduced to this song by my grandpa. he played his songs in the car everytime he'd pick me up from school. i'm still fairly young and he's still alive to this day and we still see each other. this song, along with some others, has a very special place in my heart.
This was one of my late mother's favorite songs. One of my earliest memories was of her singing along with it in the car. So long ago, so very long ago.......
I am 74 now, and still can't understand where time goes. In my heart, when I hear this song and others of the 60's, I'm 16 and walking in the dark along the summer beach with my girlfriend. All our friends could see were four distant white legs by the surf. The music plays and I'm 'back there in a heartbeat'.
Mam 72 i mysle podobnie jak Ty - i'am 72 and i think exactly like you
Science doesn't have a clue what time is, much less where it went. Time is God's music, and we are in his song.
The brain has no time perception. It is a flaw of biology causing endless heartache.
Beautifully said. I understand exactly what you mean.
Four white legs 😀 Its why I dont go to the beach. Live in Ca and white as a ghost

Honestly, the 60's was probably the best time for music ever.
I have to agree with you 100%!
That's what my Mom always says. Now at 43 years of age, I believe her.
the 60s are damn good, but it cant beat the 80s i must say
@@jigsaw6127 and many songs from the 50’s!!
Fifty’s sixties and seventies!

It was good music, you could understand the words, the music was not just noise.
There's a sense of innocent beauty in the older music which is lacking in the newer "stuff."
Take away beauty and you lose hope... The music people listen to reveals their values and where their hearts are.
Sadly this explains a lot about the current state if things...

For a song that is over 50 years old to get over 19 million views it must be special.

58 years ago to be exact. And still sounds good.

For today's youth, the 60s is nothing more than history. For us who lived through it, a divine era.

My dad was born in 1938 and I'm born In 1996 and he showed me the best music and this type of music is unbeatable
Some of the best music, 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s. So glad I grew up with this music, it meant something. Can transport you back in seconds!
I AM 82 Years & it was one of my Fav Years ago & still it is. Thank U.

I’m 79 and my wife 82. We use to enjoy the Cascades every time we could when they played at the Red Coat Inn in San Diego.
Tom Rey😊
Man me too. 6th grade we had an event there at the Red Coat Inn. I am 66 and graduate of Madison High 1977
I am 77 years old, but wgen ever I hear this song, my teen days even my feelings just swayed with the tune and lyrics of this song!! I can not stop to move my body with the rhythm of this song! Very contaminating to the heart and body! I love it.
I'll be that age next month, and distance or where we live has nothing to do with it - we all feel the same, great music from a great time.
79 years ... and still return
I will be 77 y/o this August and love to still listen to this music and even get up and dance a little...dance like no one is watching !!!!!
In my 79th year, and I think back to these great old days. The great music, great lyrics and beautiful times. It was a different world back then .. so much different than today. I wish that there was a place ... a town, a city ... filled with us ... like minded people .. where we could listen to these great sounds and speak to each other ... yes, actually talk to each other and dance in the streets, share beautiful memories and love and care for each other.
ShangriLa
For all of you that feel this way ..

A song that rings in my heart even after 60 years.I am 75 .one of the evergreen songs.Even now the rain and thunder falls around me as the song is played.
It is pouring rain right now where I live. This song, my very favorite since I was 15 (1962), is perfect for the storm.
All of us on here are with you my friend, such music brings us together, and for a few moments fill our hearts and souls with such happiness, and memories.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Bro!..did you see the flash of lightning before we hear the thunder? i am 75 of the same generation.
I'm 78 I remember this song like it was yesterday.
Those beautiful times of this kind of music are gone forever..I'm so lucky to have grown up in that era
Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
Telling me just what a fool I've been
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain
And let me be alone again
The only girl I care about has gone away
Looking for a brand new start
But little does she know
That when she left that day
Along with her she took my heart
Rain please tell me now does that seem fair
For her to steal my heart away when she don't care
I can't love another when my hearts somewhere far away
The only girl I care about has gone away
Looking for a brand new start
But little does she know that when she left that day
Along with her she took my heart
Rain won't you tell her that I love her so
Please ask the sun to set her heart aglow
Rain in her heart and let the love we knew start to grow
Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
Telling me just what a fool I've been
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain
And let me be alone again
Oh, listen to the falling rain
Pitter pater, pitter pater
Oh, oh, oh, listen to the falling rain
Pitter pater, pitter pater
Thanks for sharing the lyrics!
THANK YOU
I came to know this song when I was still in school days in the 60s......I am now 74 and it still ring my bell....! Great song never dies.......

Nothing can beat the music of the sixties. They are real music.
There's one thing......going back in time and reliving those days !!
Thank you mom for turning me on to the music of the 50s, 60s 70s and Motown. Greatest music ever. I'm 63 and this is 90% of the music I listen to. I also love Gospel, country, jazz, R&B, rock n roll and blues. Great music
There was nothing like the 60’s. I’m glad I lived that decade.....
I wish I did because of the music. I started learning a lot of it in the late 80's but do remember my stepmother playing some of the music when I was a kid. My favorite was (do you believe in magic)
So am I! Born in 1953! Elvis and rock and roll!
me too. some of those oldies bring tears to my eyes
Me too
I'm sad that i didn't and even if i did i would have lived in east germany
I am 75 years young and I still love this song because it brings back memories of my younger days when I was abandoned by the woman I loved.
Dude. We were ALL abandoned by the woman we loved.
@@mitchellhawkes22 And they crawl back for a second chance. Too late.
😣
I know what you’re went through. I had mines broken too. Your heart will mend back in due time, but it will be awhile or for some never. I hope yours do
I know the feeling
I was born in 2005 and I love this generation of music 🎶 . Brings positive joy everytime
Never better music
How right you are !
fitting because in 2005 this band actually did a remake of this song. check it out!
I'm 77 and can't get enough of this great music....3..15
Memories, memories. Life is short and it is only when you are old, you realize it. I'm 73. I feel sorry for the young ones today. Life back then was uncomplicated. There were rules like girl/boy, courting, engagement, marriage, baby. Heaven help you if got the last two items round the wrong way. And the music was, with some awful exceptions, beautiful, melodious and romantic. "Rhythm of the rain" is a perfect example.
So Right!
I'm 56, well next month 1 year older whatever. I grew up with this Music. My dad playing it just about every day. I still love it today. He's passed about six months now and I listen to it more now than ever it reminds me of him and the good old days. Love you pops❤️
Adrian Larkins nu
I'm 5 years younger than you and it was difficult back then about girls, marriage and babies but I broke all that and was glad I did even if it was often very difficult Also broke the rules about race and sex when I was 20 and often thereafter My first child I was married and the next 2 no but I gave them my name, support and loved them just as much
Adrian Larkins PL
I wasn't born until the 90s, but I remember listening to this song as a kid because it was one of my mom's favorite songs ever since she was a little girl. So she played it a lot, and in turn, I loved it too!
😊
You're a lucky boy. Think of the lonely sailor who wrote it while serving for the US Navy billions of miles from his favorite girl.
I can relate. Loved this song as a child. Reminds me the radio playing in the car with my Mom and the rain was coming down in upstate NY.
You poor kid. I was born in 1949 and boy you missed the music ever, the best TV, the best of everything.
You and mom have good taste
This music will go forever !!!It never ages and I don’t sicken of it !!!!!!!!
What a privilege to be growing up in a time when there was SO much Magic in ALL of the music of the era!
72 years old, listening here in the Philippines. Fond memories of listening to this great music when I was a teeny-bopper back in Minnesnowta.
Ufda! If you're near Cebu City would love to visit you sometime
I used to live with my grandparents when I was 2-4, they would always play this song together with Danke Schoen, Dream Dream Dream and others. I wish I had appreviated those days more often, when we could listen to this song while driving in the countrysides of Malaysia.
I'm 72 years old listening here in the USA with my Filipina wife .... wanna trade ,....(:0)
I was born in the Philippines & moved to Minnesota. LOL
Hey another 72 Minnesnowta-person. You betcha!
Today is the best day of my life. I’m 35 and I have been looking for this song for the past 25 years. I knew it would come one day. Lovely masterpiece ❤️
Congratulations, you deserved this song.
Dead right, Masterpiece
Born in 1983 I love this music so badly. 😭😭😭😭 ❤❤❤
I'm 14 and I listened to this all the time w my grandpa before my family broke apart. This makes me cry for some reason, and I still love it.
I'm 18 and I absolutely love this genre of music. I find it so relaxing.
Same
What does age have to do with anything😅 comments like these are so cringey
+Brandon true
Brandon Honestly what is the big deal with putting my positive input on here. I wasn't slating anybody, however I know that it comes to a surprise that not a lot of people my age like this style of music and I know a lot of older people who found out that I know most of the 50's and 60's songs, American and British. Can't put something nice on here now days without somebody saying that my opinion is "cringey" as such. Move along.
Now, now QuangThichDuc. No need for the abusive language is there. Lol wow, how mature.
I find it amazing that people are still listening to this song.
Awesome!!!! And, Thanks for sharing.
It's a master piece, so why shouldn't we listen it? 😊
I am 83 now and wow what a feeling after listening to this great composition.
I'm a teenager, 15 years of age. I remember my dad playing this on the radio of a 4 hour roadtrip. Ever since I've heard of it, it has never left my head. Always calms me down when it's being played. Who cares if it's an oldies song? It's better than WAP!
Fuck yeah man. Music is music!
So true
Old Records never Die, they just turn into CD's
And show up on CZcams. Thank goodness!
Listen To the rhythm of the Falling rain Telling me just what a fool I've been...
sooooooo true :)
Good old Records will never Die they all keep coming back as CD's
lol soooo true :0
As you get older and older and listening more to oldies songs, you realize that you're young again and the feelings are much more fantastic and amazing. Just how I feel, that's all.
Right-on, Bro !
true
Har SanOya Me too!
Don't feel young again, but still love this song.
Interesting to find out Glen Campbell and the Wrecking Crew improved it greatly.
Thank you for this comment we will all be there one day
Man, born in 2002, and this song speaks to me now more than ever, even tho I listened for 8 hears almost.
Can't believe my first gf was at 20. She left me for a brand new start, and along with her, she took my heart. Half a year later and it still hurts...
I am a 24 year old gen X man that loves 20th century songs.
i am now 75, and I close my eyes and I'm back in the good old days. she was calmer and without hectic. it was a good time.
For a song that is over 50 years old to get almost 6 1/2 million views it must be special.
It is
+Appleholic1 It sure is! I'm 32 but I can still remember my dad singing along to it on the radio back when I was 8.
+Appleholic1 *6.7 million
+Appleholic1 Not really, just has the right chords in the right order to make humans feel something - psychoacoustics :)
+Appleholic1 omg, is it that old? How old that makes me feel!!!
I love growing up in the 60s, the best time in my life. Music, clothes, just a Awesome Time. Everytime a song comes on, I can tell were I was at and with who. I wish we could go back just for a little while.
Back in the 1962 my very first radio was a clock radio. The very first time I used it I woke up to this song. It's been a favorite ever since.
It’s real shame that the glorious 60s music is going away with us old folk.
We can do our part to keep it alive! I sing lots of 50s and 60s song on stream 3x a week 👍
But it isn’t
We are so fortunate to have lived in this era. This music will never be repeated. The 60’s and 70’s, the best music ever!
Don't forget the 50's.
And don't forget the 50's
I am 75 ,I remember my college days this used to be the hit song. I swayed away in old memories 👌👌👌
AND THE GREAT THING IS YOU CAN STILL REMEMBER THE WORDS AFTER ALL THESE YEARS ...WONDERFUL !!
Hello!!! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you’re a fan ? Have a great day. Stay Safe
I’m 79 loved that song when I was a young lad .I have just found it now on u tube .It’s by the cascades .I’m thrilled to bits .never thought I’d hear that song again .
You'll never hear songs as good as this still is
You do
I agree 👍
I used to sing this to my little girl before she was born and then when she was just a baby I'd seen it to her.... Now she's all grown up. And I hope the song means the same to her as it does to me for her
I just miss those days. Darn it! Why do we have to get old and miss those good times of the 50s and 60s
I was about 14 when that song came out. Wonderful memories. I loved the 60s music. Glad I was born in the 40s great era
Another golden oldie
I played this on my fisher price record player!
Old songs are like narrating stuff. Short messages but heartfelt. I love music from the 60's so much.
Music back then had an innocence to it.the best years for music 50s-60s early 70s
@@stepney56 Yes, I like the shorter tunes from the past and their words. Long songs are repetitious and always end up shutting or changing it.
I am 74 now. This was the first song I ever purchased. Sure brings back memories of the time and life. It was pure delight.
2024 anyone from the old times?

I was born in 1956. It’s 14 June 2024.
@@williampaz2092 you made it sir
Me too

I was 14 when it came out. Loved it then love it now!!! We had the very best music. I will listen to this and other oldies as I am 25 yrs shy of 100
Hey, me too
A Vietnam era vet. Thank you for the memories.
+ronald tooke How many people did you kill?
Do you mean you grew up in the 60s and early 70s during the war in Vietnam, or you are a war veteran who fought in Vietnam? You worded that very funny.
+Krishna M they answered the call of war. A call they themselves did not make. Do not call someone who served their country an idoit, call the people who put them in that situation an idiot.
+Krishna M You are an idiot and absolutely ignorant of reality. Those of us who are vets were not there by choice. We were as much the victims of abusive big money as were the beautiful people of Vietnam. Like it or not, we answered our draft calls and went where we were sent. And never forget...more than 55,000 of us never saw our homes and families again.
Vertical Horizon shithead.
I was surfing CZcams and this song came up. The last time I heard this song was 50+ years ago. It brought back some good memories of me listening to this song on my small transistor radio tucked under my pillow at night.
Your comment about tucking a small transistor radio under your pillow is the first time I've seen that someone, other than myself, did that. I did that all of the time.
Welcome to the 21st Century, D Lee. You can find almost all songs which are a blast from the past here on the internet.
Angela Todd, I have myself a portible late 1940's 56A Gilfillan radio. My father restored it fully last year for me. I bought it for just $30 at the Pomona Swap Meet about four years ago.
Angela Todd same here!!! I was supposed to be asleep! Cheri B. ❤️
i used to listen to the radio like that! childhood memories. Best way ever
I, along with several friends, were going to Latin American and ballroom dancing lessons in the 60's, and I remember being taught the Rumba to this song. Although I can no longer dance, this song will always remind me of those happy days.
I was staying in a hotel in Seattle in 1987, the entertainment was a guy with a guitar and synthesizer. (quite primitive) he played this song, and I had goosebumps. Went to him and told him it was my absolute favorite. He said "thanks, I wrote it!"
Eddie Preston. Didn't use that name when he was with the Cascades.
We can dance in our souls.
@triciac1019. 'Dance in our souls', I like that 😊.
😔When I was a teenager of 15 in 60s, now 73 still love to hear this great nostalgic rhythm. Thanks for the revival👍👌🙏
Yet another excellent recommendation Mr. Lynch!
Greatest music ever i will never stop loving it
Great song I met a boy at a dance when I was nineteen in 1966 and danced with him to this it was magic and I still feel goose bumps when I hear this song.What a time to be young it was the best.Thanks for the memories💙💙💗
Same as God bless x
What a lovely memory, how lucky we were. x
We're some of the luckiest people. Growing up in this time. Great changes and great music
They say the grass is greener don't know my son of 51 still mentions past loves even tho he is settled with a family isn't feelings strange lol x
Great tune. I hear this and it’s 1963 and I’m back at Georgetown again.
こんな雨の日に聴くには良い曲だね...

"Listen to the rhythm of a falling rain,
Telling me just a fool I've been,
I wish that it would it go and let me cry in vain,
And let me be alone again . . "
Beautiful lyrics, as a poem.
I listened to The Cascades in the early 60 and all their music was great. I was a singer in a band back then and this song was one of our most requested, and it meant a lot to me. A year and a half ago after 35years of marriage my wife decided to wave goodbye, now this song means more to me than ever.
i'm soo sorry
I’m sorry 😢
I'm sorry mate
Sad😢
Best Wishes
My parents are so lucky to grow up with peaceful music like this
It was 1965 and I was stationed in San Diego Training Center at the ripe old age of 18. As I was walking on liberty, I saw a sign on a niteclub that said, "The Cascades Tonight!" Wow So I went in, but the bouncer would not let me in.On the band break I had stuck around so I could at least talk to the guys. it was cool and they really treated me nice. I asked John if they would do Rhythm of the Rain for me, even though I couldn;'t go in. They open the set with it and I stood in the door way listening. after the set. John one of the other guys came back to the lobby and we talked some more about my writing and stuff. Then My Liberty went from good to great... It just so happened that they were working on a new album and that they would be in the studio on Saturday and would I like to visit while they record? Would I? ... I was there. Little ol JB at 18 in the studio with the Cascades! guys, I dont know if you remember the incident, but I will never forget that Liberty weekend. James "JB" Banfield Blessings to you all.
My dad was there that night! Cool story.
Brian, I'll bet you your dad remembered the Seaman Recruit standing in the doorway as the guys were singing this song for "That Sailor who old enough to get killed for this country but cant come in to a nightclub and listen to this song... "This is for you James" and he kicked the amp!. What was so cool was the next day on Sat, I had liberty and they invited me to their studio for they were working on the second album... Oh gheez... I the got the bug bigtime...Music music music. Glad your dad was there it was one special night! JB
I’m 26 and feel like I’ve been in these times. Lord those times were different... 🖤
I think this beautiful melody and refreshing singing voice is a timeless masterpiece.
No question. It seems so simple but theres no song like it.
The good old days in America
I always sò relaxed and happy to hear this song 🎵
In the early 60's around 1962 I was 7 years old and my Mom listened to this song on the radio. It was one of her favorite songs. About 20 min ago I got through listening to the Spanish version of this song that was recorded soon after this song became a hit. Most of these songs that were recorded in Mexico that's where the Spanish versions came from. Songs that became hits here in America were later recorded and translated in Spanish by Mexican Rockers in Mexico. They also did an awesome job with this particular song but the Cascades are the original artists. It's a great song and over the years I've heard it countless times on oldies stations. It's a very wonderful song and had to listen to it.
I’m a 16 years old Asian but this song make me feels like I’m an American widower in his 70’s living in a wooden house in the countryside of America, sipping a cup of coffee in a cloudy morning. The atmosphere and the lyric just really give me that feeling hahaha
But I’m not complaining. I love this song
Timeless!.. great song 👍🎵
When I heard this song , I feel young again....now I'm already 68 years old
I heard this song when I was at 6 years old ....time running very fast ...I feel like I heard this song yesterday
Those were the days 😢😢😢
I am 73 now and I always think this was best record recorded inthe60s brings back a lot of memories 💚
Wow 1 of my husband favorite songs. He passed away 2016. Miss him.
😢
When I hear this song I think of my parents, both passed now. They had the radio on all the time, in the house, in the car. We lived out bush and I grew up with music from the 50’s and 60’s. Still some of the best I’ve ever heard.
🙏 🙏 🇬🇧 !
Keep on rocking, Sharon.
I can relate, I was born in late fifties and I miss my parents
i was like 8 when i was introduced to this song by my grandpa. he played his songs in the car everytime he'd pick me up from school. i'm still fairly young and he's still alive to this day and we still see each other. this song, along with some others, has a very special place in my heart.
Brings back special memories from the early sixties.
This was one of my late mother's favorite songs. One of my earliest memories was of her singing along with it in the car. So long ago, so very long ago.......
So sorry for your loss.
I’m so sorry for your loss of your dear mom.
Feel yourself lucky if she carried the tune.
My mom sings like a squeaky gate hinge.
And the Righteous Brothers, too!
.🙏 🙏 🇬🇧 !
Used to hear it on the radio when I was a kid...my mum's retro songs 🤣 but I absolutely love it.
