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...

Bless you and may your sweet memories of Jeannie lift you up and sustain you Mark, music can be a powerful healer ❤

お気持ちお察しします どうか安らかに

❤

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!

Oh what can it mean

Yes😄

Cheer up, sleepy jeen

My freind my John Fitzgerald Kennedy actuality wrote this!

Same here.

So sad 😔

I bet they did!

And his mother, too. He really loved her and she was a good mother to him

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.

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. 😊

Greeting from Salford👍🏼

Brings back a lot of great memories.

I'm with you! 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

This song literally just popped into my head May 28,2024. I love it and love the monkees.

@zoki-kj3ox Nice one! Peace be with you

@flacidbeach101 Hear, hear!

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.

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

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.

Yes! I used to watch their tv show with my siblings, laughing our butts off. Good times!

@@annhughes1503 lol...me too!!!

Yes! I get that!!!

Absolutely sweeet that you cried !! 😍🤩🤣

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 😊

My father showed me the monkees and I love them so much

Can you tell us something more about that era, how was life back then?

1963! we got the best of everything.

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.

Be proud of your father! But, this is not the end! Someday you will be with your father again. Happy together!! 🙏💙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

And I'll bet he does. My favorite group,when I was growing up. Bless them.

Micky Dolenz is the last one left !

​@@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 !

🙏👏👍👍💖

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 ♥

Another Monkee gone to heaven. RIP Mike.

@@dariowestern Pixies? Awlride!

@@dariowestern 😂 Mike was a well known for being a snob

Yes I was also. It's a tragedy this kind of music has disappeared. It was such a kinder world...

If you ever saw him he’s not like that at all

YOU KNOW IT!!!

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.

Great memories

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)

I agree however people especially young people are way too jaded and cynical thank you Mark , Elon , Steve , PS5 , etc ...

@@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.

Facts

I 100% agree my friend

I know what you mean…!!

Dead right, day dream believer…❤

This song hits close to home. I always been a daydreamer.

This and imagine by John Lennon are perfect songs. I wish someone would write a song inspired by both.

@@williamp9117 That would be awesome. These are 2 of my favorite songs.

They did though... Some of their best songs were written by Mike & Micky

I was in 7 th grade when I heard this song I felt like a homecoming 👑 queen. RIP The Monkeys

I loved the monkees...couldn't stand Mike 😝

They were adored in the UK :)

@@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?

Na minha adolescência eles eram minha paixão amava está série 😭

I had the same exact experience in America at a dive bar in Illinois to the song Just a Friend by Biz Markie lolol.

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

G

HereHere! Thinking of the perfect song where everything fits in its place, this is it.

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?

Bill Haley precious story

Sweet. Thank you

Bill Haley This happened to a friends mom she turned on the radio and heard bob Marley say hush little sister don't shed a tear and that happened when she was cringing because her brother just died and it was a older brother, many weird things happened to my friend and his family after their uncles death.

Bill Haley wonderful love the song

I'd like to think that God and the entire divine realm had a hand in giving you the strength and healing you needed even through music but it's all the signs that seem to come to us just when we need them most...you are truly blessed.

Always!

At :30 in there they are

sad

I’m sorry ma’am

He passed the day after Davy did, 12 years ago. RIP to them both.

Oh no! Davie and Peter have passed? :(

@@ivegotthis8301 Mickey is the only one left.

❤🙌

The Monkees were a staple of Saturday morning summer holiday tv in the UK during the 70's...Loved their show...Brings back memories!🙂

Good words

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.

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.

August 2, 2020 here. It's so sad Davy and Peter are gone. I bought Davy's book many years ago, it was a fun read. And The Monkees are timeless, I agree. I used to hurry home from school so I could watch their show.

I meaannn, Im not trying to be the bad one here but most people who kinda clicked the video might be listening to it... I'm just trying to be honest xD EDIT: I also liked the comment to agree with you.

Wonderful memories 💜💜

I am. I grew up listening to these guys. My sister had a Monkees collage on her bedroom wall, and their music rang off the walls of our home for years, along with the Smothers Brothers,, Wayne Newton, Johnny Mathis, Ed Ames and many others. It was a great time to be a kid.

Meeeee💟💟💟

Good stuff 👍, and I love the song as well. Though while I'm old enough to remember the band, I'm nowhere near old enough to remember the show haha (only 40, and off the top of my head, I think the show started in the 70's 🤔).

@@catisreckless4647 if I remember correctly it was on in the mid sixties.

@@garyowens1517 Sounds about right. Either way, quite before my time haha (I still like their music though, at least the small amount I'm aware of)

@@catisreckless4647 yes, good stuff. Unlike what passes for music today.

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.

Time waits for nobody 😥 RIP Peter

But you do realize that the singer in this video is Davy Jones...right? I loved Peter and Davy both :)

@@krayziebone8353 very good

And we all cry to copy his dance moves😊😊

what? most people under 40 haven't even heard of them lol

68 and counting... and still listen to these guys!

69 years young 😁

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

Amen to that. I'm jivin

Seriously!

Song written by Neil Diamond!

Defo!! ⭐️

A friend of mine always says "keep your spirit high!"

+Gideon H. The Beetles were manufactured as well.

***** They had manager didn't they? They obviously worked on their image. You know most people say the Beatles were simply not very good live. They were mostly a studio band. Not saying they didn't have some creative stuff going on. But live they didn't deliver. The Monkees were more talented performance wise.

+Meade Skelton you do know as the beatles grew they experientented more in the studio, making they're music more creative. a lot of those sounds are hard to create live. also it would be hard to judge how good the beatles sounds when thousands of girls are screaming at tops of they're lungs

Richard Lynch "Creative". Um okay. I don't think repeating "number 9 a thousand times over a bass guitar is very creative, but I guess that's just me. Performance art is creativity in of itself. The Monkees had it. Elvis had it. Its magic. The Beatles didn't have it.

matesc e. Ok

Rosemary winter don't forget Davy.

I don't even know what wandavision is I just like happy songarinos

I've heard it on the radio for years before Wandavision, so it was already ingrained in my mind but it's nice that recent generations are discovering and enjoying it.

This☝👏👏👏

marvel Made it famous again Once by its own But marvel gave it a lil push

I don't see anyone who claming that Marvel made this song popular.

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

Well said bro,✌️🤟♏🎼🤪

the media has u convinced that theres nothing to look forward to. its easier to control you that away. be happy, and optimistic in everything that you do. you'll see things aren't so bad

Biden and liberals. Oh, wait. You wanted a REAL answer, not some insane rambling bullshit craziness?

I think the world has always been a depressing dump We just grow up and stop seeing the world through rose tinted glasses

Thank you for part of the soundtrack of our youth..

I wish I could understand the meaning of the words of songs.

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!❤

'60's

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

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…?

But their downfall happened when they wantedto do it ALL THEIR OWN WAY, the downfall was very quick! cheers

Lovely comment ❤yes it's true these were 4 totally unique individuals, but together they created something that will last forever. There will never be another Monkees 😢🌌👼🕉️

Granted, when they first started out they were the "Pre Fab Four" just doing a TV show. But they were all individually talented guys in their own right. One came from British theater, another cane from New York's infamous folk scene, another was a child Movie Star and the last was writer who went on to create MTV. When they recorded Headquaters, tthey proved to the people who in the beginning would't let record their own stuff that they were the Real Deal.

And Davy Jones
