Lyrics:
Goodbye to you my trusted friend
We've known each other since we were nine or ten
Together we've climbed hills and trees
Learned of love and ABCs
Skinned our hearts and skinned our knees
Goodbye my friend, it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
Pretty girls are everywhere
Think of me and I'll be there
We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed
Were just seasons out of time

My dad died 12 hours ago, my last memory is a FaceTime call. He was 91, spent the last few weeks in bed. My dad and I actually climbed the hills and trees, he was a great hiker and climber. Thank you for being my dad , you were a witness of my life. Yesterday he started his last hike and reached the stars after midnight. He reached the end of the rainbow.
So sorry....
If this song wasn't enough to make me cry you just did it.
God bless you for your soulful love for your dad🐦
thank you for your lovely memory. god bless you
Thank you for sharing such a loving memory. God Bless
Man, seems like just yesterday this was on the radio. I must have blinked.
Dude, I hear that!!!! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!
So true!
BONNIE 😉💋🌹💋😉
I was crammed in the back under the hatch of a 2 seat datsun z in my youth and have memories of this song lmao
Me too!
This song brought tears to my eyes when it was released.... I'm 57 now.... my baby brother died last Tuesday.... It still brings tears to my eyes.... R.I.P. Joe... your big brother!
I'm sorry >
Con todo cariño y respeto un abrazo.🌈🙏
@@franciscorafael7975 Mi hermano, gracias por el amor, tu hermano de Polonia, paz fuera!!!!
@@yoot74 Thank you for the love and compassion! Peace be with You!
very sorry for your loss. stay strong. be blessed. praying.
Rest in peace, Rod McKuen. Thank you. Your lyrics are forever in me.
This is one of the first songs I can remember as a child in 1974. I was 5 years old. My sister played this as a 45 single on my parents' Magnavox console stereo. Today it makes me cry everytime I hear it. The 70's were a great time to be a kid...
As a child of the early 70's, this was a catchy tune that my parents played. I feel nostalgic hearing this as a middle-aged adult, but sad, now that I actually listen to the lyrics...
Phrancis5 Me too... me too. I was, an still am the black sheep of my family. Michelle is my sister. Seriously.
***** You know it. I wish I could go back, and just stay there.
thank you for your comment..i'm not alone :D
juliadennehy this is an old French song and terry kacls is a canadian
My grandpa passed away, and this was the song that was being played on his cremation. Thanks for everything!
May Almighty God comfort you .
Vietnam , Vet Tom
Was in Germany in the US Army (18) years old when this song hit big. Every time I hear now it reminds me of those days of being young and going 100 Miles an hour and not knowing what the future held. Music has the ability to to make you feel how you did when first hearing it and bringing back great memories. 3 Dog Night, Cream, Rolling stones, Beatles just to name a few still do it for me every time.
Love and life is precious, may we all be the best version of ourselves and enjoy the ride.
My dad had just died too. We got out of our uncle's car at Tring museum and this song was playing - will never forget the moment
"Seasons In The Sun"
(originally by Jacques Brel)
Goodbye to you my trusted friend
We've known each other since we were nine or ten
Together we've climbed hills and trees
Learned of love and ABCs
Skinned our hearts and skinned our knees
Goodbye my friend, it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
Pretty girls are everywhere
Think of me and I'll be there
We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed
Were just seasons out of time
Goodbye papa, please pray for me
I was the black sheep of the family
You tried to teach me right from wrong
Too much wine and too much song
Wonder how I got along
Goodbye papa, it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
Little children everywhere
When you see them, I'll be there
We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song
Like the seasons, have all gone
We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song
Like the seasons, have all gone
Goodbye Michelle, my little one
You gave me love and helped me find the sun
And every time that I was down
You would always come around
And get my feet back on the ground
Goodbye Michelle, it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
With the flowers everywhere
I wish that we could both be there
We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the stars we could reach
Were just starfish on the beach
We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the stars we could reach
Were just starfish on the beach
We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song
Like the seasons, have all gone
All our lives we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed
Were just seasons out of time
We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
THANKS A GROUP MR SMITH FOR THE LYRICS. BEAUTIFUL SONG.
Thanks for the words! 💖👍
Wow
I was 9 when this came out. We ALL got it. Tell you that. GenX gets accused of being callous hardos and it's true but this song always finds the heart beneath all the armor.
this song makes me cry
lol idk why tho
how could you not listen to this/pas on to next generation. .pray
I agree
Эта песня пронзила мое сердце подростка в 70х, в бывшем СССР. И вот теперь услышав её, моё сердце вновь затрепатало и стало юным.!! 😢🎉😘
я плакала, слушав эту песню, не понимая слов, тоже в СССР, и мне тоже было где-то так. Слова я узнала относительно недавно и оказалось, что плакала не зря. Грустно, но это жизнь...
Pero unión soviética no dejaban escuchar música ocidental o si
My childhood friend has passed and I still can’t believe he is gone
Love it !
This is the best version
I am from Bosnia, not same culture but this song reminds me of way of life in my country and my dad....😢I miss him a lot..I am so lucky to be here, in England, today, after all what's happened in my country ,my Yugoslavia, it's still here in my heart, and it will be there for all my life 💔 😢
Śliczny utwór. Dużo wspomnień.... ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

And don't forget You were a beautiful person into untold many people For good
My name is Michelle, I had cancer two years ago and now one of my markers is showing something. I have to a get a pet scan. This might be it. It's hard to say goodbye.
I hope your news is positive. God bless.
🧡
i am old. I am at the end of my life now..Wow, what a ride. This song just reminds me of how much time has passed and how quickly it goes. If you are young, Im not preaching and your life is yours to live as you choose, but trust me--The days are long but the years are short.
Thank you !

@@ElsaRamirez-bv1le Me too, I'm a musician myself and have always wanted to cover this song but I could never surpass its perfection so I leave it alone
Yes
I’m listening to it right now!
I didn’t know the story behind it until recently.
I’m pushing 76 years old and I listen to it every day several times
Who listen this masterpice 2024?🤔
M…If you make that joke again I will **** you
Anytime anywhere😀
Nope 😂😂😂
Always

And also I remember the place where I heard it first time on zzZzzLP

When The Lord Calls it's Time😢
Darn that’s true, I remember my father playing this music during family road trips, it’s the best
listening in 2024 in my 50's and keeping this song alive.....
50 Year Record Award 📀
Congratulations Terry
❤
Played this at my husband funeral he was only 32 I was 26 with our 3 year old daughter and my name is Michelle and every time I listen it breaks my heart even now and my daughter is 30 RiP Wayne love and miss you so much ❤😢
This song reminds me of my wife. It was her favorite song before she lost battling cancer, I wish I could change the hands of time, she was always there for me and our lovely daughter, life could be so unfair most times, but sometimes I wonder why bad things always happen to good people.
Sorry to hear that
You should listen to the Beatles "Michelle" sometimes too.
Your words remind all of us that, yes, love goes on… memories remain of our lives and love goes on forever!
My youngest in the family Michelle sadly passed away
My husband (83 years) was humming this song in the kitchen this morning. We couldn’t remember the words, so thank goodness for iTunes. We were married in 1974.
And they said it wouldn't last,🤣
🙂
Lucky Lucky Lady..
Good luck
The 70s were the greatest! I listen to the 70s music everyday. Many friends & singers have passed..so at least I have this till I do too.👍
Instantly transported to my mom's kitchen in early 70s, sitting doing homework while she made dinner. The seasons pass too quickly.
That Is So True Lisa
I relate to that good one
Dad passed 2/28/23. Looked up his RUclips playlist in his browser history, this was the last song he played (2/24). Nice to have this memory.
Someone who also loves this song is thinking of you today 💗
I'm sorry for your loss. My condolences to you and your family
Dad passed 31/3/2023. I heard this song many many years prior to that, fortunately.
Because it has the perfect lyrics, in my mind.
"Goodbye, papa, please pray for me
I was the black sheep of the family
You tried to teach me right from wrong
Too much wine and too much song
Wonder how I got along
Goodbye, papa, it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
Little children everywhere
When you see them, I'll be there
We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song like the seasons have all gone
We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song like the seasons have all gone"
For me this is true, or so it seems.
So catching.
March 31 and up to now skies were full of clouds, plenty of rain has fallen.
And this week the skies opened up to show the sun again.
And then, all of a sudden this song played on the radio.
It really breaks my heart, like i am sure it does yours.
God bless you and family, you will see him in Heaven ❤. Love Jesus
@Super Nostalgia amen
My sister passed last week. This was the first song that came to our heads when we were selecting songs for our play list. We dressed her in 70s clothes and placed a crown of flowers on her head. She was beautiful.
Sorry for you lost she is now rest in god arms
So sorry for your loss.
@@joelricoacosta9845 yet her sister is still in her heart and soul. those who are called from earth are freed of man made problems. the have eternity with gods and only god knows what goes on. some thing there is a rock and roll heaven and if there is they have one hellva good band. but heaven is god's surprise package. and it will be a present from god, if we do enough good on earth. one good is helping god's people in need.
and we all on earth have needs wishes and wants. and allen jackson wrote and sang in the song where were you when the world stopped turing.
he trusted in god
three key things are faith love and hope and the greatest is love.
i love a similar three
love hope and peace.
the fellow gentleman covered me with his song i want you i need you. and two out of three ain't bad.
this music artist took on the name of meatloaf.
meatloaf is a good food .
my momma made it with tender loving care (tlc and the special ingredient is love. and sometimes it is tough love and it took me my whole life of 66 years to figure that out. and i have to include my father too. he was my best friend because i was his first son and i was his only dutch born son. he trusted me until his first dutch born evil statanistic daughter broke us apart. somehow i got drafted to take my pappa for his last lap on earth. i took him for his last trip for chemo to treat a blood disorder. it was i day i can never forget and it is now over 10 years ago and i saw it in his hands as he had a case of not being able the hold anything in his very big hands. i called it a case of dropsieys. i mentioned it to the nurses and it was ignored. i was his son but my ex sister flunkey fonce (my dad's favorite words and yvonne was loving nickname funnica and the best that i could say was fonce. when i looked fonce it was something dark like dark shadows and she loved barnabus collins and formed an alternate universe and my parents bonus love child that i helped in picking her name in 1964 was maryann. she could use mary as a first name and ann as the middle name or maryann as her first name and no middle name. but everyone calls her maryann. and worst of all she feels deprived of a middle name. i like to think that she would never earn an appropriate double middle name other than monkee lay (or laid) as she fooled around with a now known pedophile in the old neighborhood. i somehow ended up with my dad outside the court room. and i had to raise my hand against my father and maybe that was the trust he had in me. and i will accept that today. i must have had a double edged sword. i knew it was a sin to raise my hand against my father but if he had taken his conscripted royal dutch military training to strand that suma of a beach. my dad would be in jail for killing that somofa beach for screwing my ex sister as a underaged consenting minor. killing that flunkey for justice only gets dad thrown in jail with no way out but a really really great escape. i guess i choice the best i could and that i could do. keep my dad out of jail or break the first christian commandment honor thy father and mother. god i promise to do a better job in my next 60 years if you grant me forgiveness of breaking the first commandment and preventing my dad from breaking the sixth commandment thy shall not kill ( even if i wanted to kill something).
Thinking of you and sending love...this was the song we played at our Daddy's funeral....it was a lovely walk together down the road to peaceful release... many memories in those words...Bless all... Take care... love to you 💕x
My sincere condolences and offering for your family's peace 🙏🙏🙏
My beautiful wife died of Covid on April 19th of April. We were married for 43 years. Today would have been her 69th birthday. Miss and love her so much
Sorry for your loss🙏❤️
Sorry for your loss
I'm so sorry for your loss, I don't know how I would cope
So sorry
Sorry for your loss, hope you’re keeping well
I am 77 years old and this song has been in my head since hearing it way back 1974. Makes me think of the good times my wife of 52 years had in Wichita Falls, Texas. She passed away, sadly, in January 2022. I miss her dearly.
You are a lucky man to have spent so long with a wonderful woman. I hope you smile when you think of her.
@@TheRealJonnyQ Play this song and she will around you.
I feel for you. My 42 years marriage ended when my wife passed away In January of 2022 also. Praying for you.
Over 52 years of happiness!
What a fine testament of your marriage. You can look back with joy and happiness at what you have had in your life. You will meet again, much ❤️

Terry Jacks (the guy that wrote and sang Seasons in the Sun) lives in my small home town. He doesn't have a massive mansion or a fleet of Bentleys, but he never has to work, goes on lots of vacations, has a nice waterfront home, a nice boat, and lives a pretty normal existence. The best part is that he almost never gets recognized. It is the perfect mix of fame and fortune IMO.
Nice
Rod McKuen wrote the English version, and several groups recorded it before Terry Jacks. Otherwise cool story.
That is awesome! Thanks for sharing.
The starfish on the beach can be the best...
I'd love to meet him and shake his hand
My dad asked me to play this at his funeral, he passed away age 52 and I was 12 at the time now I’m 17 and sat in his garden crying listening to this. I wish I spent more time with him I miss him so much
My family Doesn't do Wakes, we do Celebrations of Life. We send our loved ones off with songs, dancing, good food and booze. My Dad who loved Motown, 60's rock and Pink Flloyd, we sent him off with great songs and all danced!!!
You're part of him. Look in mirror and he's there.
I hope you're making your proud brother I'm sure he was a great father
He wouldn't want you to do that,he's closer than you think He is,remember that,1 heartbeat away,1 breath away, that's pretty close...
Same man,same😔💔 sorry for your loss I miss mine ,father,friend, coworker and I would die for him BC pain being without him is unbearable.it never got easier I just learned my way how to live with it.
Holy shit these comments. I hope you all are okay and I’m so sorry for those of you who lost a mother, a father, a sister, a brother, a daughter, a son, a friend. I hope you’re all okay.
Thank you! That is so sweet ♥️.
Holy shit love u kid 👍💯😍🏁❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank You!!! HOPE Your GOOD TOO🥰❤️🖐️🖐️✌️🌈
lost to many freinds
Thank you.
I remember my sisters playing this in the late 70's , I'm 54 and have lost all of them in the last ten years, but it kinda brings comfort to the soul knowing they all sang along with it
I'm 56 and I too used to listen to this song when my elder sister played it. I'm all in tears now for many different reasons, memories of our family, my Mom and Dad who passed away a couple of years ago and all whats in between childhood memories and this day, a whole life with all its happy times and sorrows.
Greetings and love from Saudi Arabia.
Todd..How did you those them?
@@valdatriegaardt6310
At Walmart 😂
Happy song
While the song and lyrics are beautiful and captivating, it is the single saddest song that I have ever heard. I first heard it and liked it as a child, but then the thoughts about dying and telling everyone goodbye has haunted me as I grew older. How can it be so beautiful and so sad at the same time?
I agree as you older worry about passing on ,especially for your children, love them so much..
Fleetwood Mac's landslide does the same
it's like yes /no black/white rain/sunlight/day run/walk life death
Poetery has this power.
It's because it's so precious, the end, things lasting forever isn't beautiful, it's the rare moments and people that make it all so special, because once it's gone, it's gone forever... No eternal, no God, no nothing, you have this moment and it's all you have. It's both very sad and unfair and yet, unbelievably beautiful
My father asked for this to played at his funeral. Goodbye Big Guy. I miss you. 😢 💕
I remember this when it came out I was 13,and there’s only one person that reminds me of this song,her name is Rhonda and she is still in my life,I love her dearly,God brought one person in my life for a reason.I love you Rhonda.

This song brought tears to my eyes when it was new and I was 7 ... I am nearly 55 now and it still does it. Love to everyone coming here to listen to this.
Im 54..felt the same all those years ago 💕
Me too.

It was in the charts when my husband were courting when we were 15 years old.We are now 64 married for 45 years.It’s a sad song but reminds me of my Tom 😍
Me too! I'm 52 now and I still cry every time
I sat in my car crying, I don’t know why I thought of this song.
If is not reason , don’t cry . Go out , do something , live . 💪🏼Best wishes

😂😂😂 sad bastard
There's always a reason if you're crying or feel like crying.. Just like laughter. Never underestimate your emotions.
Because you having a good taste of music
My dad died and his sister sat with him in the funeral home singing this to him after we’d all gone home
She said this song reminded her of him & they had many seasons in the sun
God bless
Keep storys like that for you godamm, find your pitty somewhere else babydoll
God bless

well done laura god bless
Who misses the 70s? We had love songs like Cherished a live, Kiss you all over, Rock me gently just to name a few. Songs against war like Sunshine, Billy don't be a hero just to name a few. Even songs about animals like Ben, and the sad loss of a pet dog song called Shannon. Even songs about suicide like Ode to Billie Joe, and Seasons in the sun to name a few. These was life's songs. What a great era to grow up in.
@@David-z3k5y id love to go back feel that 70s sun again
Sounds like a suicide song!
I totally agree I grew up in the 70"s and I remember listening to the radio helping my mama and older sister clean house we had awesome times back then I wish I could go back to the 70's
I’m 61 and I love the old music it’s the best
Yes it was the best year's.
I am near 70 years - coming up in a few days. Seasons are important, enjoy as you may+++

I send you all my best thinks to help you.. From France. Be strong and life will bring you nice things to live again
There's a theory... life is the way in which God knows which souls are wonderfully sweet. He takes them all too soon... they were wonderfully sweet and good-hearted people... and now they're in a better world, without violence and brutality... stay strong friend, from Northeastern Italy

Amazing how music takes you back to your childhood
its is wonderful!
Music and smell...two of the most powerful evocations of the past I know of. Sometimes it's a good thing, other times it's not.
True that!
Takes me back to the first love in my life. Still a precious memory.

This takes me back when life was simpler
Amen to that
Without a doubt--I am now 58 years old and I remember listening to this when I was a teenager--it still sends chills down my spine. I also listen to this when I think of my Dad who passed in 1982 and my Mom in 1996 and my wife in 2017. Here I sit in my kitchen, in the house that I grew up in and listening to this song is bringing tears to my eyes. I am so grateful for this music.

Lost my mom on 3/16/23 and my dad two weeks ago on 7/19/23. Remembering all the wonderful times with them. I was 8 when this song came out. A favorite then and a favorite now. Sweet memories of times passed. I miss them terribly.
You have my condolences for your loss
@@gc6110 thank you🙏
Rest in peace
It's hard to lose your parents, I know. I'm sorry for your loss 😢
Condolences on your loss. May these beautiful musical memories sustain you.
I first heard this song when I was 16 and I cried then...
Now I am a grandfather at 69 and everytime i listen to this song I cry.😢
Meine Gattin und Ich sind ( 80j) Wir hören es uns beide regelmäßig an diesen Song 👍👌🙏 Ja das waren damals noch herrliche wundervolle Zeiten, die so nicht mehr wieder kommen werden gerade in dieser Unruhigen Zeit in dieser Welt herum 🌍

I lost my friend to from cancer this the song we played at her funeral sending love to my friend
Lost my sister in law to cancer 2 years ago i feel ur pain from Lubbock Texas😔
My mum died cancer lot of friends etcetera more dageros then this fucking corona
My dear friend passed this morning
My father passed February 10 1970 six month from his 40th birthday. I was in the 8th grade. Only now did I realize how this song was so amazingly impactful.
My son died aged 25, we played this at his funeral along with forever young. They both fitted my son perfectly. I miss him every day.
I lost my son in 2020. He was two weeks from his 46th birthday. I understand how you feel.
I'm sorry for your loss..
I'm really sorry you have to know that pain. I wouldn't wish it upon anyone. I lost my oldest son last year, it doesn't get easier just different.
@@christinaskipper6338 Thank you.
@@daniallesneed5203 You're so right.
I recently lost my sister. This song gives me some comfort. R.I.P. sister Ignacia. We will meet again....
Goodbye to you my trusted friend
We've known each other since we were nine or ten
Together we've climbed hills and trees
Learned of love and ABC's
Skinned our hearts and skinned our knees
Goodbye my friend it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that spring is in the air
Pretty girls are everywhere
Think of me and I'll be there
We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed
Were just seasons out of time
Goodbye Papa please pray for me
I was the black sheep of the family
You tried to teach me right from wrong
Too much wine and too much song
Wonder how I got along
Goodbye Papa it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
Little children everywhere
When you see them, I'll be there
We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song
Like the seasons have all gone
We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song
Like the seasons have all gone
Goodbye Michelle my little one
You gave me love and helped me find the sun
And every time that I was down
You would always come around
And get my feet back on the ground
Goodbye Michelle it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
With the flowers everywhere
I wish that we could both be there
RIP, Lord is our shepherd...
Rip to your sister 🙏 my boyfriend lost his sister nearly a year ago he listens to this 🙏
Mein Beileid 🙏🏼
The comments really show how theraputic a great song can be... This song has helped countless people through some very dark times.
Yes ....yes
Very true
❤
Great reply! I woke up with this randomly in my head...
Truth
My husband died over 23 years ago at the age of 47. I had known him since kindergarten. I wish I had played this at his funeral. Fred you'll always be with us
🙏❤️
Believe me..he heard you. 🙏
I’m sooo sorry Ik it was a while ago… 47 is just tooo young to go 😢😢
Hello Ellen, You didn't need to play this at his funeral for him to know you felt these things.
go and do it. play this song
I'm shocked that I literally started crying when this song played. I was 9 years old in March 1974 and this was my favorite song. Still, I didn't expect such a strong reaction! Time goes by so quickly.
I was 9 too I used cry then anout
Such a powerful sing. Brought tears to my eyes within the first couple of bars. I was 22 when it came out
All my Uncles and Parents have passed and today we as numerous cousins from SA, UK and wherever have tried to connect with each other.
Me too. I was instantly transported to my bedroom at 12. I'm not even sure why I was crying because it's pretty sappy. But I liked it at 12.
I was 9 too..
Such a sad song..
Takes me back to listening on the old wireless on the kitchen worktop.
Amazing memories.. 👏👏
Is there anyone jamming to this in 2020 with me????
You bet. Great song
Of course.
GO FOR IT
me!
@@Dylkie yh me ha
75 now. We had the best music and the best years the planet will ever know. 50s to early 80s. All not nice after those years.
Could not agree more!
75'er here too. We had joy, we had fun. The BEST music ever.
Agreed! Loved this music as a little kid.
50 Year Record Award 📀
I agree
My dad died in a car accident on November 7th 2023. I watched him die right in front of me. I put my hand on his shoulder and told him that I loved him. He was a very good man and a fantastic father. He was always a hard worker and would do anything in the world to help people.
Prayers to you and your family and you will see him again some day up there!
Gold bless sweetheart my prayers are with you x

My brother died last week.This song reminds me of him.I will miss him greatly.Love you brother
Im so sorry for your loss. I pray for comfort for you and your family.
Sorry for your loss
Sorry for your loss, we had joy, we had fun, yes we did and God bless you both always!
Sorry about your brother . My older brother died from cancer in 2008 . I held his hand as the light left his eyes . F#@king kills me just thinking about it .

My Dad died 6 years ago my Mum in November 2023 but this is a real remedy for my soul.

One year ago you passed away pop. I miss you terribly.
Hope that time will heal your wounds.
Just know that he's there for you and will never leave you. Live as he would want you to live and when you two meet again, you can tell him about the things you did, of the hills that you climbed, of the changes your brought to peoples life by helping them.
Hope those words make you feel a little bit better..
@@TheMusicLauncher very nice. Thank you
I miss my pop too. He was my best friend in the world. You’re not alone. 😢
Rip to your dad 🙏🙏
@@crystalpower9880 awe tu
This song reminds me of my dog when listening because she died 27/12/2023 and she’s been with me all my life!
She was lucky she had u who loved her
@@almaslakhani6693 I hope she enjoyed her life!
Curious, was her name Michelle too?
@@Dakota-xi6cgno her name was Sally!
❤❤❤ pets so unconditional love healing our soul we were never lonely when they were here
Mt son was 4 years old when he passed this was his favorite song so I played it at his funeral... I miss him so much it's been 32 years since he passed and I listen to this song every day 😢 💔
💔
I am so sorry
😢😢❤️❤️
I can only offer support
I can't imagine..
A song that makes you know how important life is.
YES
Yes!⭐
You got that Joe. Some things matter, and most dont…
Indeed, always reminds me of my father and brother no longer with us. But, at a better place.
Or just how bad life is.
Even if you were a small child when these hits were released in the '60s and '70s, they left such an impressionable memory upon you, and you never forgot these tunes for the rest of your life.
Bang on my friend
Exactly...now I see
I used to sing my son to sleep with this song,as he grew older he would always play it on the pub jukebox, he died at 19yrs,nd this was played by my request, when the coffin was brought out,15yrs dead today,miss you jason
@@griffgriff2103 listening to this Dec 23 2020 im 57 haven't heard it on at least 35 40 yrs and remembered every word
Omgosh yes ! Born in 1969, so I was young and lucky to hear 50s, 60, 70s music..in addition to all the great standards, etc. I remember L.A. radio and our big brown stereo...these songs are the soundtrack of our youth !
I'm 74 and it's 2024 and it still resonates.
My son died recently, june 23rd will be a year. This was his favorite song. He was 33.💔😢
So sad. A mom shouldn't bury a child
Sorry for your loss.
So very sad, sending hugs 💞💞
Burying a child isn't the easiest thing in the world. I wouldn't wish this heartbreak on my worst enemy. I remember that day he died, i stood in the backyard praying the paramedics would revive him, all i could think of was this song and the birds were singing. He loved this song since he was 9. Thanks for the nice words.
I hug you and sweap your tears away darling. I'm with you healing your heart and soul! Every breath you inhale love and exhale all negative emotions and energies. Walk into nature and listen to the bird and wind. Calm down your thoughts. Breathe in breath out. Release you! Big hugs and positive energy! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
This song will never go out of style.
so true I’m Mexican and there’s a Spanish version of this song and I found it in my parents cd case played by lalo rodarte
Never heard it in Spanish. However I have herd it in French and German.
My oldest friend, my cousin Eddie died of leukemia last Aug. We were friends when we were in diapers all thru school, baseball, football, beers. . .1943 - 2023, we had our seasons in the son. R.I.P. Ed
We played this song at my dad's funeral over 25 years ago and to this day when I hear it , it makes me cry
❤❤🙏🙏👍👍
My wife passed from dementia on 8/3/23. We would have been married 53 years on 12/12/23. I miss her so bad and this song brings back such fond memories.
😪
🙏
just lost my mom to alzheimers last week ... last year or so was hard.
🙏
Many many prayers n healing thoughts for you.
This song hits differently when you lost the one you love. I just lost my best friend two days ago and I remembered this song 😢
Sorry for your Loss. My first i said the L word to was named Michelle. I could not go to her Funeral as it hurt me too much. When my Mom passed away a few years back i did not go to her funeral. As i get older I can still feel my Mothers presence in Dreams. Which i have learned to Keep to myself.
This song is impossible to hear without shedding tears - I lost my mother this August
I heard this song first as an 8 year old and cried then as I knew it was about dying. 49 years later, I’m shedding tears to this song again - miss u mom
I was 9 years old when I first heard this song. Cried my eyes out. Still does.
he wrote a few sentimental songs. very special person
Hi, was 8 years old when i first heard this song and today for the first time I listened to the words carefully. i have lost friends, family and my brother who was the black sheep. LOVE and PEACE to you all.❤
A song always sends you back in time, whether it's good or bad memories, this song always brings back sad memories but one's you'll never forget.
❤
Im a highschool student, just turned 18. I have never listened to this song before and I am now listening to it for a project that I was assingned today. Going through these comments just made me cry, I wish the best to all of you who experienced loss
This was composed in French by Jacques Brel in 1961. It is remeniscent of his own last months. Good luck with your studies
Existential crisis - and the thought of death - can be a real spring board for growth! Read Viktor Frankl's "Man's Search for Meaning: and you'll see what I mean. Tears may be painful but also useful. Don't waste the pain :)
I’ve always heard this song growing up with my dad he dudes of covid last oct 19 this yr will complete one yr miss him everyday
First time I heard it I was 15 aspiring bb player driving to games in ks. Now at 60 plus my entire infield from glory days has passed away. Bitter sweet.
It's good to cry. Maybe it's a reflection on existence rather than a crisis. Glad your getting much more out of your assignment than you imagined. 🤔😎
one of my favorite songs from the 70s.
What memories 🙏🙏
Asi es, yo nunca me olvide del nombre de esta cancion,y ayer la busque en you tube.tenia 15 cuando la escuchaba en la radio hoy tengo 64 y me encanta esta cancion.
*favoUrite
My dad passed 2 days ago and we used to sing this together all the time when we would go on drives together as a child. I cried then and now I'm crying even more.
So very sorry for your loss
I lost my daughter at the age of 2 yrs. Our pastor told us to listen to this song asap. I did & i started crying. 😭😭 I listen to this song at least twice a wk. My daughter passed away in 1977. This song keeps me going especially when i get depressed having flashbacks from Vietnam. I still have the 45 & 78 records. THANK U Terry Jacks FOR THE SONG!!!
I'm 60, so maybe a few years younger, but still of the same generation. I miss the boys (men) that never came home and am grateful to all who went. Parents shouldn't bury their children, it's out of order. I lost a 17-year-old son and am grateful for the 17 years but of course wish he had more. He had joined the Army Reserve a month before and when I told him he couldn't stay at a friend's house he said, "Mom, I'm in the Army. You know I'll be going to boot camp soon." So I decided to let him go. I hugged him and said, "Alright. Go ahead. Behave yourself and I love you." Whenever I find myself getting depressed, I do something outside or do something for someone else. Like, celebrate something with another family member, cook brownies for the teenagers across the street, bring some veggies to an elderly neighbor, or call my elderly aunt to check on her. Sometimes, when I let my mind go too far, I daydream about what he would have been (he was enrolling in nursing school at Baylor), if he'd have kids of his own, what he would be doing.....but that's a terrible mental path. I have to shake myself out of it or I'll end up in bed for days. Hoping that you find a bit of happiness here on earth.
I was born in 1975, so I'm the same age as she was. I'm sorry for your loss. xx
You MUST listen to the song "Beam Me Up" by P!nk. It's a little sad, but also comforting at the same time. Let me know what you think: ruclips.net/video/PFYm9LKsuUo/видео.html The loss of a child is the worst pain for any parent ❤.
I was 3 listening to this saying goodbye to all my Blackpool friends after my dad's heart attack and my anaphylaxis seizures. We went home to Toby and Will Pitt. Goodbye Peter Graham dude, my friend at Sunday school, goodbye Jimmy, my Sunday school teacher, goodbye Susan Calman, goodbye turtle McClennan, goodbye Richard Roper, goodbye brother Luigi, Eva and Gerry, goodbye Della, Carlo, Gina and Frank Sinatra, Angela, Christine, Amelia, Aldo, Mario. Goodbye everyone 👋🏻 I cried that day leaving Blackpool. 💔 🥺
hard....i pray that none child past away before urselfe... its soooo bad
When Seasons in the Sun came out I can remember listening to it over and over. I was a teenager and I am now 64 years old. My brother passed away in 1972 from alcoholism. A month before he passed away his daughter, Michele, passed away at the age of seven from leukemia. This song so touched me. After his daughter passed away he no longer wanted to live and chose to drink and gave up on life. I can remember crying over and over as I listened to it and I still do.
Hello Brenda, how's everything going with you?
And the girl in the song is Michelle....
@@libertyann439 How are you doing Ann?
Love thisnsong
I loss my only son to leukemia. Instead of drinking I ate myself into poor obese health.
Can’t believe they used this song in the John Wick 4 trailer! It fits so well! Hyped for it!
Me too
Never trust the hype, control your emotions and be happily surprised if its good
@@RumandCocaine yeah ahaha not making that mistake again after the last matrix
John wick 1,2 or 3 has not dissappinted. 4 deffo not going to.
I know right
