Anybody watching this in 2024?

I am watching it in 2024 and there’s sadly no music today compares to stuff like this.

It's April 2024 and I'm plugged in to this melodious song! 💜

He's 88 years young and still singing! ❤

I was a 19 year old soldier stationed in Korea when I first heard this song on the radio. Boy what memories that brings back to an old man. I would sing along listening to a little transistor radio when on guard duty.

This was a popular song in Vietnam, which was 10,000 miles from home.

I grew up with these songs.still listen to them 🙏

This song is so true about where our great America has gone ...so far away .. 😢

How can anyone dislike this song? For a live recording, his voice is flawless. It just does not get any better than his. I grew up on this music. Thank you mom and dad for introducing me to this rich world of music of the 50's and 60's!

Chokes me up every time. Home is not just a word. It is a symbol of love. A place of refuge from all that is wrong.

We sang this in Vietnam all of the time. It sure brings back a lot of memories, some good and some not so good but real memories in every way. Thanks Bobby and Norton771

This song was important to my Dad, he was a Marine in Japan! I loved all Patriotic Songs, so proud of him! Love this song!

Anyone listing in 2024?

Crowds now days should have this kind of respect

Grew up with this music and would never care for much of anything else. The best years of country music.

This song had special meaning to me too. It was one of the few songs my husband sang during his years with bands. He died in 2009, but still miss him everyday.

This is one of the best damn things I've ever heard in my life.

I've listen to this song all my life I'm in my 60's never get tired of hearing it...I drove a truck for 3 years and man I can relate to this song very much..Thanks Mr. Bobby for a well deserved song that still being played...Your a great Artist..

Now thats country music!!!

I am a professional motor coach operator. I drive from the Wichita Kansas Greyhound Bus Terminal to Pueblo, Colorado, which is 450 miles from home, so this is now officially my theme song. Just about brings tears to my eyes. Love it.

Bobby Bare was performing this concert in Oslo, Norway in April of 1964. He was accompanied by the Anita Kerr Singers and the Jim Reeves Band the "Blue Boys." This is truly one of my favorite classic country music songs. It is a shame that they don't write country music like this anymore.

My son was just deployed. This song makes me think of him so much. I miss him horribly . Being a single mom (my hubs/their dad was killed in a wreck in 2007) it's just been me and my children for 15yrs. He's 22 now, but he was my rock for so long. Don't know how I'm gonna make it so long without him. Just praying he makes it home safely every day and night.

I lost my son in 2018, and this is how I think of him, on his way somewhere out there, and me on the station waiting for my train to arrive, so I can catch up with him. But until then I will continue listen to great music

I've been in these shoes.Still love this song. Now I'm 63.Memories still linger.

Daddy always said he listened to this song and said he cried soo much wanting to come home, but he was a trucker and had to feed me and my brother....Rest In Peace Dad I miss you more and more!!!!

The one about the soldier and his horse in the snowstorm almost making it back to Mary Ann marked my heart as a very very small child...

A much simpler time when people were much better to one another,miss those days,for sure

This song has a lot of memories, I hitched hiked from L.A. to Pennsylvania,I remember a lot of night walking, thumb and wait!!!

when i was coming home from war i heard this song it just made the tears fall and i just sat

Bobby Bare's song use to keep me company when I was in the service in the late 60's. It help me to think of this song and hear it in my head when thousands of mile from home and all alone. Thanks Bobby !

Love it when Bobby laughs and sings "I'm five THOUSAND miles away from home" towards the end. Thus making the song, in 1964, like a plaintive letter from the GIs in Vietnam.

my father took bobby to cut his first record , they meet at a factory in OHIO were they both grew up.

I’ve walked on several foreign lands not always by choice, this song always brings a little feather in the throat

I was born in 1953, loved this song when I was a kid! I grew up with music everyday in my home!

Living thousands of miles away from where I grew up and far from my oldest friends and family this song really hits me hard and deeply.

Das ist für mich ein absoluter Gänsehaut Song.Thank you Bobby.

Oh what a classic. I'd give anything to go back to those happy days of innocence. Long live Mr. Bare & his great music. The fact he's singing in Germany shows the magnitude of his reach & appeal.

Wonder why this song makes a 40 year old man , who is not even that familiar with country music, weep...literally, with tears streaming down my cheeks. Actually, I know exactly why. It seems to be the song of the girl I used to love who is no more now. Rest in peace Vicki. You're home now.

It's been over 1100 for me most of my adult life. My childhood was the best. Bobby is a true country artist. Love his music.🎶❤️

:) I was born in 1993, i grew up with those old songs still now, I listen to 'em everyday.

Great song, love this live version, Bobby sounds so good as does the band and his back up singers.

Bobby Bare is still alive as of this writing. You know.... Many too young armed forces left and never returned! I like how Bobby is all dressed in just about all Black.. The sadness of it all. resonated with many J.Cash's memorial war songs. All the stone memorials. If only they could speak. Blessings to all whether it's you or your're a family member who survived. Let me know if you saw this. Love,

I'm a married girl living with in-laws, no matter how loving and caring they are towards me, I don't know how many miles I'm away from home- my real home. With the fragrance of my dad's sweat, and my mom's cooking, and the squeals of my siblings.

Aug 24, 1963 - Bobby Bare records "500 Miles Away From Home" in a morning session at Nashville's RCA Studio B. Love this song!

This was my late father's favorite!...Especially when he was a single man doing time in the navy in the 60's. This fits him well as he travel the world then. We miss you dad!!

I love Bobby Bare’s version of this amazing song! One of the very best. You feel every emotion. So sad!

Teardrops fell on mama's note When I read the things she wrote She said, "We miss you son, we love you, come on home" Well, I didn't have to pack I had it all right on my back Now I'm 500 miles away from home Away from home, away from home Cold and tired and all alone Yes, I'm 500 miles away from home I know this is the same road I took the day I left home But it sure looks different now Well, I guess I look different too 'Cause time changes everything I wonder what they'll say When they see their boy looking this way Oh, I wonder what they'll say when I get home Can't remember when I ate It's just thumb and walk and wait And I'm still 500 miles away from home If my luck had been just right I'd be with them all tonight But I'm still 500 miles away from home Away from home, away from home Cold and tired and all alone Yes, I'm still 500 miles away from home Ho, I'm still 500 miles away from home Yyy

For me the 500 miles are eternity for the loved ones I have lost. This song makes me cry.

I'm 16 years old raised on this kind of music. this is my all time favorite by far. Bobby Bare is absolutely great.

Already moved 12 times by the time I was 10; when this tune came out in '64 I could barely listen to it, so hard it was to find home. Bobby Bare was the first live performer I ever saw at age 14. Thank you.

The old songs like this one really make me miss my dad and remember him even more.

In Vietnam we sang this song allot as we got short ( days left on rotation) we changed it to 10,000 miles. The orther was we got to get out of this place

I loved this song as a child and still do! I have stage 4 cancer so waiting to go to my heavenly home!

We ^baby-boomers^ grew up listening to this genre of good 'ol music!

I was a ladd of 15 when I first heard american country music. An old sergeant of the us armee who frequently came by to our restaurant in the frankfort area, took me to the nco and I had the very pleasure to hear this great singer; btw my favorite album is still that "down and dirty", he released in the early '80s. - Do hope, that my English hasn't gone that bad.

20 years old and on a lark I hitched hike from Phoenix, ariz back to my hometown in Iowa. Flagstaff 5:00am so cold waiting for a ride . Oklahoma City praying for a ride because it’s going to rain any minute. Excelsior Springs, Mo at 2:00 in the morning just hoping the cops didn’t see me sleeping downtown under this awning. When I finally got home I sat down on a park bench in the town square and thanked God that I made it back in one piece and promised myself I would NEVER do such a dumbass thing again!!! This song was running through my mind on that whole journey.

Even the non-English speakers appreciated his great talent. Long Live Mr. Bare.

This song has stood the test of time.

A oldie but goodie from the 60,s , how can you not love this music from then. Take us back 🎼🎸💙

I love this song. Clear and nice voice 👍🏻

Oh, wow, my Mom played the guitar and her and my Dad would sit on back porch and sing this song! I loved this song!

the sound of the voice is so magnificent; they don't make'em like that anymore. So many artists from that era got that special voice and I can't describe it; listen to roy orbison, lee hazlewood, the ronettes; whatever; their voices are just so different than anything today; weird.. and I love it

20 year later (1984) still amazing! 80's outlaw Bobby! all the way... 2015... still love Bobby!

I emigrated from England and lived in Johannesburg South Africa in 1963. This was played on the juke box in cafe by the bus station. It resonated with me very much at the time.

This is the very best version of this song which has been covered by just about everyone in the country, rock, and folk genres.

Tears well up in those eyes everytime.. also sunshine of memories of that place called home..

From central Illinois, moved north of Detroit, Mi. at age 20. Still remember the first year. Almost like Bobby was singing my song

I remember sitting in the barracks in 1974 singing this quietly to myself. I was 17 years old and it was the first time I had ever been away from home for any length of time.

I was 5/6 years old when my teacher used to sing this song we used to sing along with him , how time flies I miss my old days my childhood

I remember this so well. I sang every word. Thanks Gary Spradlin

Story of my life when I was a kid. My Ma was always there for us. She is gone now and I sure do miss her this Mothers Day Weekend. Great song and singer.

brings back memories of my dads' mom asking him "boy when you gonna see your old momma, i would see tears in his eyes we would all load up and go see mommaw

This song of Bobby Bare always bring tears in my eyes as i am less than 5,000 miles away from home,missing you all guys back home.

Been in love with this singer and song since it came out in early 1960's !!!

I first heard this in the sixties when I was a little girl....loved it then and still love it..love Bobby voice so beautiful and mellow.

Bobby back in the day. This thing gets me in tears. And he drank performing this.

This song really hits hard when I listen to it. Even when I am home, it still makes me feel lonely. Also, for those of who say you can't use a 12-string for country, kiss it! Bobby Bare is one of the greatest country artists ever and he used 12-strings in his early years! I think the one he has in this video is a Gibson B-25 12.

been 450 miles from home for over 40yrs and yeah it still is home to me, Edinburgh always will be, its where I can exhale. love this song and where it takes me.

I had the pleasure of meeting him in 1994. I was working at a convenience store in south Florida, he came in with Little Jimmy Dickens. They were doing a fishing show with Wade Reynolds . He is truly a Southern gentleman.

I was 8 years old when this song was released. Doesn't get better than this. I just bought me a new copy on 45 rpm.

This is a real heart jerker - I will never feel at home on Earth, only with our father in heaven. Dr William Mount

Thanks for posting this so beautiful song. Wonderful !! Listen too the french version by Richard Anthony 'j'entends siffler le train'.

Hedy West (April 6, 1938 - July 3, 2005) was an American folksinger and songwriter. She belonged to the same generation of folk revivalists as Joan Baez and Judy Collins. Her most famous song "500 Miles" is one of America's most popular folk songs. She was described by the English folk musician A. L. We can't forget HEDY WEST author of this music!!!!!!!!!!!!

ITS WONDERFUL THAT FILM STILL EXISTS OF THESE CLASSIC HITS.OSLO NORWAY IS BEAUTIFUL I VISITED A FRIEND THERE LAST YEAR.

Grew up listening to you Bobby because of my parents, back in the sixties. Time has changed everything. Never forgot the music. Thank You

What a beautiful song! What a great singer! Love it!

One of the great songs of all time. It has a meaning for so many people.

I don't care who wrote it, all I know is when I listen to it, it brings my Dad back to me,, and I can sit and close my eyes and his there with me. If I was to listen to the original it wouldn't be the same! We sang along with ,,,, Bobby Bare,,,,

Memory Lane, Bobby Bare, Jim Reeves & The Blue Boys, Anita Kerr Singers.Grrrrrreat!

Reminds me of my time in the Marine Corps. So far away from home.

Bobby always had a serious sadness in his eyes. Nobody ever sang this song like him

This is a good song. Hope everybody loves that man

I'm in my 70's now and love this song just as much now as I did back then. I wish country music was still this good.

Yes, flawless. Each emotion revealed in the meaning of his voice. First fell in love with 500 Miles Bobby Bare, I was right years ago. Cam. 63 now, it resonates.
