Another comment from a silly old man. I am rapidly approaching 90 years old, and love watching these talented young people in action.

[sunflower]

Nice! The whole orchestra playing this song is awesome!

[jgreen]

Most Americans don’t know where Slovenia is on the map. This youth orchestra is placing Slovenia on the map. Very professional, beautiful, and well done. Thank you.

[mickey]

As someone who remembers this song, having heard it many times on the radio in the summer of 1967, I think this group does this song justice. Well done.

[garyheldt]

I’ve listened to this song probably 500+ times in my life and it gives me goosebumps every time. It IS my all-time favorite song! And this rendition, with these wonderful vocalists and this tremendous orchestra backing them MAY actually be better than Frankie Valli’s original version. And there’s no higher compliment than that! Amazing!

[julioabreudossantosneves]

One of the most beatiful songs in the world.

[ignaciorosas]

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful

[paulharmon]

Re: Negative comments about the vocals. These young ladies are singing English not their native tongue. Give them a break. I liked it.

[garyheldt]

It’s beautiful. The song is beautiful. The young ladies are beautiful. You can feel their sincerity and joy when they sing it! Amazing rendition! Frankie Valli would be proud of this!

[patrickboyle]

Every time I see a clip like this, I remind myself there is still hope for the younger LIVE MUSIC!!!!

[annamari]

well done you, guys :) Beautiful, young people.

[benjienana]

I loved everything about this recording.
All they showed great emotion and connection to the song.
One of the most beautiful and amazing tracks I've heard this year.

[SergioSabino-ynij]

Bom dia, Brasil.
Sinto-me privilegiado.
A década de 1970 gerou lindas canções; pelo Brasil, e, pelo mundo. As novas gerações, relembrando esses clássicos,
dão sinal de maravilhosos sentimentos.
Que bom.
Parabéns !
Continuem !

[claudiaabrego]

Simplemente espectacular esta versión de una de mis canciones favoritas !! Bravo a músicos, músicas y a las cantantes !! Bravo 👏🏼 Saludos desde México 🇲🇽

[garyheldt]

A wonderful rendition of a beautiful song. One of the greatest love songs ever written. The full orchestra is a magnificent touch!

[hugoastorga]

Bellisima canción, grandes intérpretes y excelente orquests..gracias por darnos esa maravilla

[DemetrioAlbidrez]

Music 🎵 🎶 the Universal Language of this World !! No Matter Who Sings It !! Proud 🦚
To Be a Human Being in these World !!

[rockspyder]

Awesome, well done! To the singers too, despite some criticism in the comments. Let’s hear any native English speaker sing in Slovenian? English is not their first language, great job!

[CraigCaldwell-lnzf]

In my youth, we would sing a song with similar lyrical idea: "It Only Takes A Spark;

To get a fire going...
Then, soon, all those around
Can warm up to its glowing...

That's how it is with God's Love...
Once you've experienced it,
You'll want to sing,
It's fresh, like Spring...

You'll want to pass it on!

[rosatorres]

Es la canción más hermosa que he escuchado en mi vida, en cualquier versión es hermosa, ahora tengo 64 años y la disfruto enorme, saludos desde mi bella ciudad de Toluca, México
