I'm sat on the floor of my childhood home sorting through photographs, years of memories in cupboards and drawers, now that both mum and dad have passed. My play list is from the 70s , memories of my mum turning up top of the pops, dad moaning about long hair 😊 and me growing up surrounded by love and support and tears are flowing . This being an adult hurts like hell 😞
I am almost in tears as I heat this son discover and learn then.. I am almost g. It brings back both happy and bittersweet memories of my 14th summer, 1972, there was so muchtodiscover and learn then. I am nearly 65 now, and at times I feel.so wearyand burned out from this world, especially the last two years.
One of my favourite songs of all time. Brings back happy childhood memories and my lovely mum & dad. God I miss them so much and great music like this xx
Me too.I have very happy memories singing this song with my cousin's and my brother at my Grandma's in Droylsden Manchester.We pretended to be The New Seekers .Why is it that happy childhood/teen makes me sad ? The song Memories says it all, ' Could it be that it was all so simple then , or has time rewritten every line , and if we had the chance to do it all again , tell me would we , could we.Memories may be beautiful and yet what's too painful to remember, we simply choose to forget .😢
As another here has said, this is a hauntingly beautiful song. I remember it, just, from 1972 when I was only 8 or 9. It reminds me of a happier time and place. I'd go back to that time and place if I could. Unfortunately, it's gone forever and I can never return.
I was 10 lying in a boat in the sunshine which my brother was rowing on Haggerston Castle lake in the north of Northumberland. Such a vivid memory of when my whole life was ahead and now I’m 61 and hating what this country has become
Have always loved this......reminds of the early 70s when they were on Cliff Richard's Saturday night show on the BBC every week.....with Olivia Newton John and Una Stubbs as well. Wonderful days......brilliant harmonies from both Eve & Lyn.🍁🍂
This song suddenly started circling in.my head today and i dont know why so i came looking for it. I was 8 years old when.it was in the UK charts great to hear it again.
@@jonnymoonbeam1030 1972 brings back a lot of happy personal memories for me, the long six weeks UK school summer holidays is one special time, playing football with my friends and my brother " go carting" , just mucking around , good time !
when we are young we are vulnerable ,when we become teenagers we become more aware of whats around us ,when we become adults we become more responsible in live ,(well should do ) ,when we get older and listening to music like this song we look back at our younger years and for alot of ppl it brings back sad memories which is hard to look back at 😥..........tears
I was born in 1978 and this style of music is all I play when singers could sing and this world was a much better place god how much i would love to go back, god bless all stay safe
One of my all time favorites...and it just about sums up my life which I struggle to understand at times. Eve Graham is such a wonderful singer and a beautiful girl.
The new seekers were a great group loved all their records loved lyn paul was such a babe and peter doyle was a pin up not always marty kristian all the time its about time RCA records brought out on cd skin deep peter doyle album from 1976
takes me back to my childhood when i wàs 8 and that is a good thing when life was in front of you, I am now 59, and love this cos it takes me back to 8 x
According to history books, 72 was one of the most violent years in American history. Vietnam was on-going, kids were burning their draft cards and running off to a better country, Canada. women were protesting unequal rights, The civil rights movement was fighting in the streets. The Black Panther Party preached violence. Georgia's Governor George Wallace was shot and paralyzed by Arthur Bremer. The Munich Summer Olympics had a massacre that occurred wherein Palestian Guerillas killed Jewish Athletes. Back home President Nixon was discovered to be mastermind behind the Watergate break-in that led to Nixon being the only president to resign in disgrace.
@@keathgraham2742I think that it was a very different world for most of us here. Happy memories of being a kid with our families still alive and listening to music like this on Radio One.
well im 52 and this is first single 45 I ever bought and I remember like its yesterday the words are very true so true about the 46 years wow where did it all go
Diary Of a chronic Pain Sufferer This brings back memories of coming out of hospital for the hundredth time - age 3 and my auntie buying me Rupert bear for being brave.... I used to love this song - because I knew from a very early age I was reincarnated....I kept singing it over and over again! My auntie bought me the single -
I saw the New Seekers live in 1972. The noise from all the screaming, hysterical girls was unbelievable! It was Marty Kristian's birthday and, being a lovelorn teen, I bought him a shirt and a big card . I was able to go backstage after the show to give them to him. I'd put my phone number inside the card, and he called me up next day for another chat. I was over the moon! The other girls at school said they were green, white and blue with envy. Marty was a big.star in the magazines at hat time and loads of girls had a crush on him. I was bombarded with calls and post, with everyone wanting to know what he was like. And I ended up with lots of friends and penpals that I didn't have before. I have to smile now, but that teenage crush was quite a whirlwind!

All my life's a circle Sunrise and sundown The moon rose through the nighttime Till the day break comes around All my life's a circle But I can't tell you why The seasons spinning round again The years keep rolling by It seems like I've been here before I can't remember when But I've got this funny feeling That I'll be back once again There's no straight lines make up my life And all my roads have bends There?s no clear-cut beginnings And so far no dead-ends All my life's a circle Sunrise and sundown The moon rose through the nighttime Till the day break comes around All my life's a circle But I can't tell you why The seasons spinning round again The years keep rolling by I've found you a thousand times I guess you've done the same But then we lose each other It's just like a children's game And as I see you here again The thought runs through my mind Our love is like a circle Let's go round one more time All my life's a circle Sunrise and sundown The moon rose through the nighttime Till the day break comes around All my life's a circle And I can't tell you why The seasons spinning round again The years keep rolling by (Repeat chorus) (Repeat chorus) (Repeat chorus & fade)
It’s so strange to me that this song was re-recorded round about the same time as the original version as they are both very similar . If you listen to the album version ( that’s the version I remember them playing on radio one ) after they sing …. ‘And so far no dead ends ‘ they sing the chorus before going into ‘ I’ve found you a thousand times ‘. Such a small difference but it’s there and I also like the vocals better on the original too . I’m sure to a lot of people no one would notice the difference . There is only one ‘original’ posting of this on RUclips . Such a hard song to find and I bought the remastered cd just for this track . It’s always been one of my favorites . Please don’t think this is a criticism of the post . Not at all I was just voicing my opinion as to why it was re-recorded . Maybe someone can let me know 😊
This song was playing when I heard a broad on a nearby farm had been cut up with a panga. I was a teenager. I stood there pondering how long before my turn to die. Well it is almost time. Yes time for me to pay the piper.
Richard and Carlo, Aldo and Anita, Rita, Marco and Angela, I can’t remember people’s faces to the names. Mind you, I was only 2 at the fish shop with the nonna granny and her hubby, when I was singing this and all the relatives sat together as one big family! 🤔 I could do with a photo to remind me who was who? My memory as a baby is okay but a bit hit and miss remembering everyone. I would like someone to help me with everyone’s faces and names??? 🤔✌️ my daughter can’t remember anything from before 6 years old.

Yes, a lovely memory jerking song but You sadly missed '55 to '60, "The Rock and Roll Years!
First time I've listened to this in 30 years. Tears. Peter Doyle is magnificent. God, what we've lost....

I met Eve once and was able to tell her how much I loved the New Seekers take on this.
Such a hauntingly beautiful song that fills me with longing for my youth and happier times.

A beautiful song
Nick Elliott . I love this record. Was a great time of my life.
FANTASTIC - GOD BLESS THE INIMITABLE PETER DOYLE - MELBOURNE'S MUCH LOVED SON.
Nice song, good group. Vocally very strong.
A great pop group with such catchy tunes.
Reminds me of my last year in school 1972 what a time to be 15.
You were lucky, if you were 15 after 01.09.1972 you would have had to stay in school for another year.
Me too!
A wonderful cover of Harry Chapin's classic hitting the UK top 5 in 1972. Eve Graham is on brilliant form here.
Love this song
Great 👍 lyrics superb singers amazing 😉 memories 😎
Brings back memories
great song ,great singers and great looking , could do with this now !!
It was my first single so many years have gone since then
this song is eternal
Harry Chapin song! First time I heard someone else sing it!
I'm pushing 56 now and the older I get, the more I realise the truth of this song.
I'm 56 too! This song brings back so many happy memories from the 70's!
I'm 56 too, and I reckon that we might have won the Eurovision with this song! Easy to sing. And meaningful. Happy days!
Zephaniah3verse17 I feel exactly the same

Great. Song❤
From a Prog Rock and NWOBHM lover. This is a song I will always love.
wot a lovely song and 70s group.
Oh what a great song . Eve Graham has such a lovely voice . I remember this song so well . Let’s go BACK to that era ! Ha . Wonderful x Maureen
My life is more of a square. Great song!
As a Belfast child growing up loved the New Seekers how did Beg steal or Borrow not win Eurovision
I heard Tom Chapin do this in the fall of 1971 on a show called "Make A Wish." And I heard this while I was visiting Dublin the following summer.
Yeah! Just before going into hospital 😺👶🥛🧪🧫
A delightful song from a golden age of pop music. Whoever wrote this gem must have made a fortune from the Coke adds!

Written by fabulous songwriter Harry Chapin
Keith Potger. member of The seekers Aussie group...he started The New Seekers off🎶🎵👍👍👍fact...
Eve Graham. Fantastic singer, and the other members of course.
I liked the New Seekers & Middle of the Road.
Who doesn't
I remember the video which went with this on TOTP, they were on a Ferris Wheel
I remember the summer of 1972, when my family visited relatives in England. My cousin HATED this song.
I play this song when my computer give me that bloody circle.
Very good song but the 45 version is the truly sublime one.
One of my favourites still got album
Wish I was 14 again!!
Written by Harry Chapin as 'Circle' and released on his 1972 album Sniper. I prefer this version even though the NS production sounds ropey! Cheers
Hugh Terry I put both versions in my Chapin playlist.
Written by Harry Chapin. His version from Greatest Storied Live will be played at my Celebration of Life.
"No straight lines make up my life;
And all my roads have bends;
There's no clear-cut beginnings;
And so far no dead-ends."
This beautiful song cherish life we have I really do hope we get a second chance.
中1の時の大好きな曲でした。今、聴けてすごく懐かしい‼
I'm in love with Eve Graham xxxx
Lovely
let's go round one more time - as the song says
All my life's a circle
Sunrise and sundown
The moon rose through the nighttime
Till the day break comes around
All my life's a circle
But I can't tell you why
The seasons spinning round again
The years keep rolling by
It seems like I've been here before
I can't remember when
But I've got this funny feeling
That I'll be back once again
There's no straight lines make up my life
And all my roads have bends
There?s no clear-cut beginnings
And so far no dead-ends
All my life's a circle
Sunrise and sundown
The moon rose through the nighttime
Till the day break comes around
All my life's a circle
But I can't tell you why
The seasons spinning round again
The years keep rolling by
I've found you a thousand times
I guess you've done the same
But then we lose each other
It's just like a children's game
And as I see you here again
The thought runs through my mind
Our love is like a circle
Let's go round one more time
All my life's a circle
Sunrise and sundown
The moon rose through the nighttime
Till the day break comes around
All my life's a circle
And I can't tell you why
The seasons spinning round again
The years keep rolling by
(Repeat chorus)
(Repeat chorus)
(Repeat chorus & fade)

I knew it at the age of 7 one by one needs to be herd yet the world needs to do what. Just listen and you will know
I might have sung Linda Ronstadt Blue Bayou with a Waterhouse babysitter.
This song was playing when I heard a broad on a nearby farm had been cut up with a panga. I was a teenager. I stood there pondering how long before my turn to die. Well it is almost time. Yes time for me to pay the piper.
The first record i ever owned at the age of 7
