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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I cry when I listen to this song...Life is truly short and of course no guarantees..I lost my Son @21, my Sister @39, my Mother @59, My Father @92, last month my Son in-law @24...Never take life for granted....live everyday to it's fullest...I love you all and forever!
Lost my older Brother to cancer in March of 1974 when this song hit the charts. It was so beautifully done and so prophetic. Love this 😢song. Miss you Danny.
Oh man, i teared up when I read your post. I lost my older brother a couple of months ago. I'm okay most of the time, but sometimes I miss him like crazy.
I started liking my first girl friend in 1963. We got married in 1967. She died of cancer in 2017, we were married for 50yrs, 6 months. I was holding her hand when she took her last breath. Today, I am 75 and I have often wondered- when did I get old? It was so slow but yet so fast. We listened to this song back in our youth but didn’t think much of it_--- until ( listened to it today. What memories it brought back to me. Life is short, don’t “wish” for tomorrow. We don’t know what it holds. Just enjoy every day-- one day at a time.
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.
50 years on I still vividly remember sitting having a beer with my dad with this playing on the jukebox. He died only weeks later. Always brings me to tears.
@@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
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
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.
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.
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.
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 😍
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!!!
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.
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.
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
Every time I hear this song it makes me face my mortality. This could have been written for me and my best friend. I almost died just a few years ago and when I came out of my coma my best friend (who lives hundreds of miles away) was there to see me because everybody thought my time was up. I love this song, and it reminds me how grateful I am for a lifelong friend!
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.
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.
@@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 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.
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.
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 was in Eilat Israel on the beach and they were playing this song, over and over ... made a major change in my life after that holiday moved from the UK to the Caribbean ... was a great move.... worked out well for myself and family!! Thanks Lord!
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.
I can't tell you that never will happen because is part of life, but to loss someone is like part of your heart have die. It Is so painful that you want to go with that person. God bless you.
Spend time with your loved ones, create memories, and enjoy every moment. When those hard times come and you look back, you can say, 'I have no regrets.' I wish my husband were still here; I loved him, still do, and have no regrets."
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.
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.
This Song is special. The very 1st Person i said the L word to was named Michelle. The Day she died I had a dream of her. I could not bear to go to her Funeral and when I went to visit her Sister in El Campo, TX i cried.
My brain just randomly spit out a dormant memory of this song and I immediately opened RUclips to look it up. I’m so happy to have had something trigger my memory. I appreciate this ride down memory lane. To all who’ve lost loved ones, I offer you my sincerest condolences on October 21, 2024. May this song help you to remember the happy times you’ve had with your lost ones. 🙏💜🙏
My grandfather died yesterday morning. I seen him laying on the floor next to his bed. That image will haunt me forever. I loved him so much. He was more of a dad to me than my actual dad. He was the kindest, most loving, and honorable man I have ever known. Love you so much grandpa! It's a strange thing to think that I will never see or talk to you again. I will cherish your memory for the rest of my life!
My dad died early this year, seeing his lifeless body right before the cremation broke mi heart in so mant pieces, and this songs make me remember him.
You honor him by the value you place on his goodness and in your memories. If he was a believer, I will see him in heaven. I pray The Lord bless you with that peace beyond all understanding. Take care and love yourself the same as your grandfather loved you. Be like him.
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 .

In 76 a high school couple hit a train.... ...they both died...this song was played for the entire school as a dedication. and the sound of the entire school crying still haunts me today. please shower the people you love with love ...while they are still here. and seek the Lord ...while he may be found.... for today is the day of salvation..... no one is promised tomorrow.
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
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 🌍
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.
We were all between the ages of 9 and 11, and there were several of us. This soon became our favorite song. We all made a pact that we would make sure it was played at each other's funerals. We have played it three times now. I have made sure my children and grandchildren know this. If it's left out, I will not be able to reach the doors of heaven.
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 😢 💔
🫂 🫂 🫂 It sucks to lose a parent. The pain softens a little, but it never totally goes away. 😢 I guess maybe it's good that we loved someone that we hurt over them.
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 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!
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?
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 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.
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.
My mom told me to find this song she hadn’t heard since she was little. We’re sitting here listening to this song while she lays in her hospital bed with MS . I’m reading her all yalls comments. Glad to share this moment with her
Sending your mum all the support and health she’s in the right place love this Terry jacks song reminds me of a romance story of my first love when I was 16
They say when you know you know. My mom passed yesterday morning 8/22/24 9:45am she was so special and beautiful and unique. I will always share this special memory with her listening to this song and all the old songs she grew up listening to. I will miss you forever
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
This song makes me 😢😭😴. My late fiancee loved this song. She passed away some three years ago. We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun. Rest in peace, Jenny!!! I miss you!!! Without you, I am still struggling.
This song has always been so hard for me to listen to. Brings back memories of childhood camp friend who had Multiple Sclerosis (MS), who played this song every night. I pray he's at peace now. 🙏
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
We have to keep this music alive in two generations there isn’t gonna be the old folks to keep it going so everybody who’s listening to this in 2023 like this comment
My husband of almost 34 years passed on December 13, 2022. We had known each other for 52 years. I still think of him and talk to him everyday. I love and miss you Steve. Until we meet again.
I’m so very sorry for the loss of your precious husband! My beloved wife Kathie passed on 12/26/2022. We were married for 42 years! Like you, I talk to her every day! I love and miss you so much angel! Memory Eternal!
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
Be strong bro, my Best friend died days ago and I cant live with this, but now we are alive, take the example and change the wrong in you like a kind of change.
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
We were heading to a hospice care facility where our son was and that song played on the radio. Needless to say we had to pull over. Couldn't see through all our tears.
Maybe. It was him telling you. I. Lost a very close person. Before they left this eArth a song. Or two came over the radio that we listen to. Many times. R. I p
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.
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. 💔 🥺
@godsson1039 But without faith, it is impossible to please Him for he who comes to God, must believe that he is, and that he is the rewarder of them who diligently seek Him. (Heb. 11:6)
I was 8 years old when this wonderful song was first released. Decades later as an adult man, this song brought back so many memories of my childhood days and I wept as I realised that the happiest moments of one's life was the childhood days when we didn't have to worry about money, career, the rat race, conflicts with your spouse, office politics and of course the impending old age and death. As a child I was always happy and looking for fun, my mother would take care of all my meals, laundry etc to make my life easy and comfortable. Today my mom and dad are no more around, my beloved mom passed away of old age 3 months ago, my dad 4 years ago. Then I wiping my tears dry, I realised as a believer in Jesus, regardless of how unfortunate or unhappy your current circumstances are, my Best Days are yet to come and it will last forever ie once you have accepted Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, we will be living in perfect heaven forever where there will be no more tears, death and sorrow and only love, joy, peace etc.
Votre commentaire est absolument magnifique, tout comme cette chanson. Une pensée à vos parents ❤ moi je suis encore adolescent, j'ai le temps de profiter de ma vie, mais que ça passe vite...
I'm a dude.....a man....an old man actually at this point in 2023. And I'm freaking crying my eyes out hearing this song for the first time in what, 30 years? That's the definition of a great song!
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.❤
@@grahamcheesman2252 I'm with you. 65 and I don't like the looks of any of this BS. Told my husband yesterday that I reserve the right to check myself out of this mess becomes intolerable for me. I've fought for social justice all my life and never been further from it.
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.

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 !
@@2pacc please
Continue live to the fullest til the end. Be strong &well. enjoy the other side but not yet....
@@saryratha Thank you🙏
Wise words my friend. Take care!
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
Remembering my son that was taken away in a hit and run 10/27/2023. Love you and miss you !
There's no greater pain than losing a child, I lost my daughter two years ago condolences
May he rest in peace 🙏
I am so sorry for your loss, God bless him and youl😢❤
Sorry for your loss. 😢❤
i'm so sorry for your loss. may he rest in peace
A superb song, which was a UK No.1 in April 1974.
The "Goodbye Michelle" section really gets me.
just sat here crying reading all the comments peace and love to all you beautiful humansxxx
❤
😭😓💙
Beautiful comment @@pinkworld9384 ❤
It's really beautiful, this corner of humanity.
Get a.grip 😅
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.

@Super Nostalgia amen
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 ❤️
My husband of 52 years passed away 4 Months ago💔 We shared many Seasons of the Sun ☀️
I'm sorry for your loss.
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.
So sorry ❤
@@dawnoleary4907 I'm 62 and I lost my wife, and I'm sad but I'm here for her
Sorry 😢
I cry when I listen to this song...Life is truly short and of course no guarantees..I lost my Son @21, my Sister @39, my Mother @59, My Father @92, last month my Son in-law @24...Never take life for granted....live everyday to it's fullest...I love you all and forever!
@profitclicking365 You may outlive them all!! Bless you,, You sound like a beautiful person,, Peace!
So sorry😢
Couldnt have said it better ❤

So sorry for your losses,it is hard to lose a child
Lost my older Brother to cancer in March of 1974 when this song hit the charts. It was so beautifully done and so prophetic. Love this 😢song. Miss you Danny.
That's when my mom died when I was 4

Oh man, i teared up when I read your post. I lost my older brother a couple of months ago. I'm okay most of the time, but sometimes I miss him like crazy.
I started liking my first girl friend in 1963. We got married in 1967. She died of cancer in 2017, we were married for 50yrs, 6 months.
I was holding her hand when she took her last breath. Today, I am 75 and I have often wondered- when did I get old? It was so slow but yet so fast.
We listened to this song back in our youth but didn’t think much of it_--- until ( listened to it today. What memories it brought back to me.
Life is short, don’t “wish” for tomorrow. We don’t know what it holds. Just enjoy every day-- one day at a time.
❤
Thank you for your beautiful and true words
God bless you 🙏
God 🙌
"Life is short, don't wish for tomorrow. " so very, very true my friend. This very moment is where our life is happening, not in the past or future...
My mother died in the summer of 1974 and it's incredible how music can transport you back so completely.
yes so true
Times goes. Memories don't. ❤
Sorry for your loss she's always looking down on you and loves who you are as a person ❤
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.. 👏👏
50 years on I still vividly remember sitting having a beer with my dad with this playing on the jukebox. He died only weeks later. Always brings me to tears.
Rest in peace ❤
I remember this as a kid.. made me cry- still does- anyone else listening in 2024??
I am. i was 10 in 74 and the sentiment becomes stronger as i age
@@briantaafe4354 I love this song
@@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
Brings me back to when life was so good in the 70s…❤️🇺🇸
One of the most underrated songs of the sixties.
fyi 1974 - seventies
It was 1974
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

My father asked for his favourite song to be played - 'Going Underground' by The Jam. He always was a bit insensensitive.
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.👍
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.
Same heer
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
71 years old and this still makes me cry...
73 same seeing all your real friends passing away is so tragic but the song is a work of art
I'm 13 and this makes me cry too
My dad had me listening to older music my whole life
me too.This song was played at my sons best friends funeral..so sad. 😥
Me too & me too 😊
66 this song is Priceless..
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.

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

Hey you special people who still remember this song 💖
Jag var vokalist i ett band. Denna låt gick ofta i pauserna
Whenever I miss my brother who passed I play this beautiful healing song
@@jaimeaufenthie7411 This made me cry, i don't know why, but it did. Like it made my tear up.
HELLO Dawn
Yes !!
Every time I hear this song it makes me face my mortality. This could have been written for me and my best friend. I almost died just a few years ago and when I came out of my coma my best friend (who lives hundreds of miles away) was there to see me because everybody thought my time was up. I love this song, and it reminds me how grateful I am for a lifelong friend!
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.

Happy song
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 Dad's mom died of cancer when my dad was 16. He told me this song always makes him think of her.
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
My Dad died 6 years ago my Mum in November 2023 but this is a real remedy for my soul.
Hang in there friend...
I'm 66 years old now, still love this song . takes me back to when life was good .
nice
To right
Life is always good.
Life is good 👍🏻 !☺️
Always, always 😘
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 was in Eilat Israel on the beach and they were playing this song, over and over ... made a major change in my life after that holiday moved from the UK to the Caribbean ... was a great move.... worked out well for myself and family!!
Thanks Lord!

❤❤🙏🙏👍👍
I've lost literally nobody and this song makes me cry like hell
I know right. It's so full of tragedy and grief I can't believe it was ever a top 40 song.
I can't tell you that never will happen because is part of life, but to loss someone is like part of your heart have die. It Is so painful that you want to go with that person. God bless you.
Spend time with your loved ones, create memories, and enjoy every moment. When those hard times come and you look back, you can say, 'I have no regrets.' I wish my husband were still here; I loved him, still do, and have no regrets."
HOW
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
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.

My grandfather died yesterday morning. I seen him laying on the floor next to his bed. That image will haunt me forever. I loved him so much. He was more of a dad to me than my actual dad. He was the kindest, most loving, and honorable man I have ever known. Love you so much grandpa! It's a strange thing to think that I will never see or talk to you again. I will cherish your memory for the rest of my life!
I am so sorry.
I have nothing to help you but wish I did .I'm sorry for your loss
My dad died early this year, seeing his lifeless body right before the cremation broke mi heart in so mant pieces, and this songs make me remember him.
You honor him by the value you place on his goodness and in your memories.

I pray The Lord bless you with that peace beyond all understanding.
Take care and love yourself the same as your grandfather loved you.
Be like him.

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.
We were all between the ages of 9 and 11, and there were several of us. This soon became our favorite song.
We all made a pact that we would make sure it was played at each other's funerals. We have played it three times now. I have made sure my children and grandchildren know this. If it's left out, I will not be able to reach the doors of heaven.
Instantly transported to my mom's kitchen in early 70s, sitting doing homework while she made dinner. The seasons pass too quickly.

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! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Like this song since 40 years, cause he touched my heart immediatly.
And does today 🙂
At least we all are dust in the wind between quality or mercy.
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 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.
In a very dysfunctional family, this song was still a comfort. Now many of the dead are there when the song was new. Memories..😢❤

RIP Sweet Denise. This song will forever be ours. You are missed.
The spring of 1974 here we are 48 years later still a fantastic song
Its so sad man..how time flies.lost almost everyone that i know.
I hear ya
I was born in 1972 so I was so young when this was released.
Still a timeless classic. ❤️
Remember it well altho I was only 7
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.

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.

Sending love and hugs to both of you
They say when you know you know. My mom passed yesterday morning 8/22/24 9:45am she was so special and beautiful and unique. I will always share this special memory with her listening to this song and all the old songs she grew up listening to. I will miss you forever
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
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 🙏🏼
This song makes me 😢😭😴.
My late fiancee loved this song. She passed away some three years ago. We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun.
Rest in peace, Jenny!!! I miss you!!! Without you, I am still struggling.
This song has always been so hard for me to listen to. Brings back memories of childhood camp friend who had Multiple Sclerosis (MS), who played this song every night. I pray he's at peace now. 🙏
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
😥

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
My brother died unexpectedly recently. We listened to this when momma died. Now I listen alone and miss my brother😭😭😭😭
Be strong bro, my Best friend died days ago and I cant live with this, but now we are alive, take the example and change the wrong in you like a kind of change.
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
you are loved you are loved you are powerfull
Lubbock Texas feels ur pain Sweetie 😔
This record, is timeless and never gets old, I have read many comments that all say the same thing in many different ways … god bless you all x
We were heading to a hospice care facility where our son was and that song played on the radio. Needless to say we had to pull over. Couldn't see through all our tears.
Maybe. It was him telling you. I. Lost a very close person. Before they left this eArth a song. Or two came over the radio that we listen to. Many times. R. I p
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
So much feel to this song. Thank you Jesus for the 70s. Why can't they produce songs like this in 2023?
Telecommunications Act 1996. Thanks Bill Clinton. He sold off all the radio stations to corporations, or rather, was the arbiter of it.
@godsson1039 But without faith, it is impossible to please Him for he who comes to God, must believe that he is, and that he is the rewarder of them who diligently seek Him.

Amen 😢
$$$ for the morally corrupt.
Timeless
The beauty of a haunting voice .
I was 8 years old when this wonderful song was first released. Decades later as an adult man, this song brought back so many memories of my childhood days and I wept as I realised that the happiest moments of one's life was the childhood days when we didn't have to worry about money, career, the rat race, conflicts with your spouse, office politics and of course the impending old age and death. As a child I was always happy and looking for fun, my mother would take care of all my meals, laundry etc to make my life easy and comfortable. Today my mom and dad are no more around, my beloved mom passed away of old age 3 months ago, my dad 4 years ago.
Then I wiping my tears dry, I realised as a believer in Jesus, regardless of how unfortunate or unhappy your current circumstances are, my Best Days are yet to come and it will last forever ie once you have accepted Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, we will be living in perfect heaven forever where there will be no more tears, death and sorrow and only love, joy, peace etc.
Votre commentaire est absolument magnifique, tout comme cette chanson. Une pensée à vos parents ❤ moi je suis encore adolescent, j'ai le temps de profiter de ma vie, mais que ça passe vite...
May God Bless you, its nice to have had that wonderful love. The rat race is for Rats...Some levity...
Yes Jesus rules 🙌
Que Dios te bendiga. 🕊
God bless you~!
I'm a dude.....a man....an old man actually at this point in 2023.
And I'm freaking crying my eyes out hearing this song for the first time in what, 30 years?
That's the definition of a great song!
I'm 56 and right now I'm crying a river
same. : (
Most definitely 😢 Amazing 💖
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.❤
Mijn broer verongelukte op 13 augustus 1973 op 17 jarige leeftijd...ik was 12 jaar
Het liedje is voor mij altijd heel emotioneel..
August 2024 still listening and wiping tears !
Me too 😭
Yes, puts a person in a reflective mood.
Yes
Yep, nothing much to say. 😢
Вытерли ? И на здоровье.
Hi, I'm 55 and I don't have much time left on earth. This song will be played at my memorial
I've never been able to listen to it without crying
I'm also 55 and the way the world is I don't think I want to be too old
I'm so sorry. Sending love.
55 im 59 and still think that there is plenty of more time for me and you
@@grahamcheesman2252 I'm with you. 65 and I don't like the looks of any of this BS. Told my husband yesterday that I reserve the right to check myself out of this mess becomes intolerable for me. I've fought for social justice all my life and never been further from it.
Bless you 🙏...
My boyfriend passed away 33yrs ago today and he loved this song brings me too tears still
@jdereck477 Bots doesnt have feelings....such a poes of bot ! jerre jesses

My father passed way three years ago I miss him very much every day love you dad.
Мои мама и папа ушли, уже много времени прошло, уже самому 66 . да, плохо без них, но мы же живем, дай бог всем терпения!
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
