Dearest
by Buddy Holly

Dearest, though you're the nearest to my heart
Please don't ever ummm yeah ever ever say we'll part
You scold, and you are so bold
Yes together ummm yeah our love will grow old
Ummm yeah our love will grow old

You may-ay-ay-ay be a million miles away
Please believe me ummm yeah when you hear me say
I love you, I love you

Come ho-o-o-ome, keep me from these sleepless nights
Try my love again ummm yeah
I'm gonna treat you right, ummm yeah, I'm gonna treat you right

So far ahead of others in his music and composing . Lord knows what this guy would have accomplished had he lived . Thank God we have his music now . Fifty eight and counting folks . Never gets old does it .

So long after his dead, I love his songs like.as if it was written yesterday
What a brilliant author we lost
De joy he shows while singing breaks my heart : " My dear, it will.be so short" . I love him

Buddy and The Crickets are classic. I think people will always know who he was. 60 years after his death people still listen to him. To me that suggests that his appearance in the charts was no accident.

I'm not taking anything away from Buddy Holly but one listen to Mickey and Sylvia's " Love Is Strange" would indicate the origin of several songs by Buddy. the Beatles learned from Buddy. it's a wonderful progression.

@JobberBud Yeah, this is a Great song. :) I remember seeing Juno at the movies a couple of years ago. It was before I knew who Buddy Holly was and I don't even remember hearing "Dearest" being played in that movie. Aha, I still don't know what part that song is played. To tell you the truth, I never even knew/realized that this song was in Juno untill people started leaving comments about it being in Juno. I guess I will have to search it up to see what everyone is Talking about!

I Pavlov trained my cat to purr when she hears 'Dearest.' It took a few months, but she now knows that when 'Dearest' plays, I will (at minimum) pet her, or cradle her in my arms. She is now seventeen, and still recognizes 'Dearest' as her song.

Buddy was a big star in his short life, and a legend after his death so never underrated. All the rockers who followed him from the Beatles on gave Buddy the credit he deserved. He just wrote too many brilliant songs to be forgotten.

Only a genius could take the riff from another song and make it work again the second time. Another example: Brian Wilson's Surfer Girl and Girls on the Beach.

@JobberBud The one on the Left I'm pretty sure is Norman Petty (Buddys Manager) And I'm not so sure who the one on the Right is. I'm pretty sure that picture was taken in a hotel room.

In the description, it's Years together... Not yes together. Great song.

joe gongora

Definitely a beautiful love song. In the late 70's I had a box set entitled " The Complete Buddy Holly ". This set contained 6 LP'S . I had 3 versions of this song. 2 of the songs were studio recordings over-dubbed twice 2 versions of that song. Finally the apt. tape. I now realize that the box set wasn't complete. Because at the time whoever put that album together thought they'd had everything at the time . They certainly Didn't have the recording of a tape when he was singing at 13. Stuff that I later heard on Y-Tube & I imagine more recordings might be found later.

Lori Wakeham

This song sounds like "Words of Love"

joel reant

C'est superbe tout simplement

Captain Bud Sturguess

@RetroGurl73 Ohhhh okay. This is a great song by the way; I think too many have gotten caught up in the version from the "Juno" soundtrack that they forget this version. Both are great, but this version has a gorgeousness to it I can't describe!

I had not heard this version before, just the one from his 2nd album.
Buddy was screwed out of royalties because anything he penned the credit went to Norman Petty.

ansias77

@Terijian Logan Yes it's a cover..but a million times better than M&S's..

Terijian Logan

This is a cover anyway, its by mickey and sylvia. Same with 'love is strange'

Michael Naylor

Ron Haugen well greedy Norman Petty, no one remembers you

Ron Haugen

Michael Naylor - If you look at his records, Norman Petty takes the credit as composer.
Norman said if you want me to produce your music, I get the credit as writer, not you!!

Michael Naylor

Ron Haugen why Buddy? Why did you have to ger on that plane?

Dearest mijn favoriete song van Buddy hij overleed veel te vroeg, ik was 11 jaar toen het gebeurde ik had toen nog niet dit mooie nummer gekocht dat kwam helaas na zijn dood jammer.

defenda1

@RoneciaxRiotxHardCor nothing sad about that, I heard this on the Juno soundtrack last week and decided to get back into Buddy Holly. Forever.

Song originally written by Don Gibson...but wow!!! Buddy at the top of his game and still hardly out of his teens

This is a cover of a song originally recorded by Mickey & Sylvia. The original is worth checking out because of Mickey’s inventive guitar work and Sylvia’s soulful singing.

Buddy seemed to be a fan of Mickey & Sylvia’s work since he also recorded an excellent version of their song “Love is Strange.”

Maguire Peters

i sing this song when i think about a $49 dollar bong i accidentally dropped when trying to get something out of the bottom of my shoe :,(((( i bought it from zono's in new zealand but now that place is closed and zonzo died in a hot air baloon accident

I'm trying to practice singing by singing along with this... not going so well.

S.J. Duarte

I normally don’t like overdubs, but I really like this one. The humming, the drum clicks. It fits well :)

rj689

this sound like love is strange a little. i love buddy holly

Terijian Logan

prolly because both of them are covers of mickey and sylvia, not original buddy holly songs

Captain Bud Sturguess

@volcon300 Yes, I know who Ritchie VALENS was, and about the plane crash but "Busey H." draws a blank... Guess you got Buddy confused with Gary Busey.
