An inspiration to us all, Ms. Durham's beautiful voice and dedication to her profession!Thanks to all who make it possible for us to enjoy these treasures world wide.
Just perfection. Since a youngster in the 60's I have been smitten by Judith Durham ( along with millions of others!). The Seekers are all fantastic role models and have no equals.
After seven decades of listening to good music, I thought I heard all of the world's greatest singers until I heard Judith Durham sing this beautiful song!
I only took a chance and there it was I never expected to hear it from somebody else I thought I was the only one who knew that old song Beutifully sung so beutiful
The lyrics are beautiful. Vair me oro van o Vair me oro van ee Vair me oru o ho Sad am I without thee When I'm lonely dear white heart Black the night or wild the sea By love's light my foot finds The old pathway to thee Vair me oro van o Vair me oro van ee Vair me oru o ho Sad am I without thee Thou'rt the music of my heart Harp of joy oh cruit mo chridh Moon of guidance by night Strength and light thou'rt to me
It burns my 'ASSets' she isn't here anymore. Judith really was in a league of her own. Except for Karen Carpenter I can't think of anyone that came close or equal to Judith Durham.
I wondered when the tears would come...I've loved The Seekers' version of this beautiful song since childhood (mid-60s) and, although being very low since hearing the news of Judith's death (doubtless like the rest of her legion of fans), hadn't actually shed a tear. Oh dear! It's the cruel irony of her death that stings so much. That a woman who never smoked, drank alcohol and changed her diet completely to attempt to negate the symptoms of Bronciectasis and whose breath control whilst singing was second to none should succumb to the disease ultimately is just so unfair. Xx💖💖
Sadly, it can just happen that way. For instance, I myself was diagnosed last year with chronic asthma, yet I've never smoked in my life, worked with asbestos, kept pets and nor did I or any of my family have that condition as kids. Work that one out.
Without a doubt, the MOST beautiful female singing voice I have ever heard! Been a Seeker's fan since 1964-65 . Still listen most every day. Quite simply, NONE better than Judith and the Seekers, for me. As the Carnival is Over says: " I will love you till I die" Tim in Midland, Texas
Judith can easily put singers of today to shame. Such a beautiful voice which tugs my heart strings with every song. As someone born in 1960 I grew up with The Seekers and still love them today.
Mark Rafferty : Like you, I also was born in 1960 and initially started listening to the Beatles; but when I heard 'The Carnival is Over' and 'A World of Our Own' and suddenly thought, 'Hang on, these guys are good'. Now, I'm starting to collect their music on CD to enhance my listening pleasure.
With her voice her heart reaches in and takes your heart. Never heard the Eriskay lilt sung so beautifully and hauntingly. The contrast of pure talent, goodness and gift compared to the absolute dross and plastic "look at me" ugly garbage we have forced on us now has never been clearer or the gap been wider.
You've certainly hit the nail on the head there, Jim. Judith Durham was a once in a lifetime talent that will NEVER be repeated. I for one, will never forget her. R.I.P the late, great Judith Durham AO. She is now singing with the angels.
my primary school choir sung this song mid 1950s, I thought we were good, little did I know then. Judith - lovely lady with a heavenly voice singing divinely.
My all time favourite 'The Seekers' song, featuring the unmistakably dulcet tones of the legendary (and now sadly missed) Judith Durham on lead vocals. What a huge, unique and natural talent she had and what a terrible loss to this world her untimely death was. This song was never issued as a single anywhere and was only ever released as an album track, but what an unforgettable performance of a truly beautiful song. It's how I choose to remember her. Judith was very special and I'll love her until the end of time itself.
@@G6JPG Whether it's classed as a Seekers song or a Judith Durham solo performance, it's still a great song either way. Judith's vocals on it are just simply exquisite.
I PLAY LOTS OF OF THERE SONG BEFOUR I STRAT MY DAY.MORNING TRAIN RIDE.WHEN THE STAIRS BEGAIN TO FALL WALK WITH ME. DONNY BOY. CANT GET THE MUSIC OUT OF MY HEAD.SHE WILL BE MISS SO MUCH.SHE SOULD BE KNOWN HAS A WOULD TREASUER.
Well said whoever said it. I agree with all you say about this treasure. I hope she outlives me cos I couldn’t bring myself to be upon this earth without her.
I first heard this song in the same era by Canada's Voice of an Angel, Catherine McKinnon. As The Seekers emerged in Canada in the late 60's, Catherine got some competition If you like Judith, you may want to give Catherine a listen.
Recently heard this song for the first time on a local 60s radio station.I know not why I have never heard it before as it is beautifully sung by Judith Durham.
Judith Durham hatte eine wundervolle Simme die sie auch als Solosängerin einsetzte nicht nur bei den The Seekers. Frau Durham und ich haben etwas gemeinsam, wir sind beide 1943 geboren. Friedel Breitenbach
We used to sing this in our school choir at Junior school. I never knew where it came from, but I absolutely loved it! So pleased to finally find out who sang it. 🥰
rich963--Your work is coming back --the listening ears now need simplicity vocals that are audible and beautifully presented --Judith never grows away from that voice --a miracle a gift from god
Tief in die Seele eines Menschen dringt dieser von Judith Durham am Meer gesungener Song. Bravo von einem ebenfalls 1943 geborenen Anhänger von Ihnen und von den The Seekers. Friedel Breitenbach
Judith Durham és Connie Francis a popzene történetének a legszebb hangú énekesnői.... Köszönöm szépen az élményt, aminek a részese lehettem! Üdvözlettel Szarvas András.
Dear Judith, where ever you go my thoughts go with you. For such beauty, both physical and spiritual, is a treasure beyond measure. I listen as an Angel is singing because she is one.
She has a beautifull voice of an angel so beautyfull. A beautifull lady . every song is very outstanding performance brilliant group. Best group in the world. The sounds are fantastic brilliant wishing judith Durham and the group all the best for the future. God bless them.⚘🌹💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐
I learned this folk-song when I was in primary school. I never forgot it, and was delighted to find Judith Durham performing it in such excellent style. :)

Lovely old song beautifully sung
RIP dear Judith.
RIP Judith - thank you for the music.
How beautiful was that ?? She is pure gold , her voice is just made for that beautiful song .
I only took a chance and there it was I never expected to hear it from somebody else I thought I was the only one who knew that old song Beutifully sung so beutiful
What a fantastic and soulful song. We are in the process of recording the song with Baritone ukulele, violin, voice, on Vancouver Island, B.C. Canada
Rest in Peace Judith Durham x
R.I.P. Judith Durham
What a lovely song and a voice to match....no one could sing this song like she did. She was a blessing for sharing her incredible gift.
Even if you can't discern the lyrics, the voice of Judith Durham and the melody create a beautiful song!
The lyrics are beautiful.
Vair me oro van o
Vair me oro van ee
Vair me oru o ho
Sad am I without thee
When I'm lonely dear white heart
Black the night or wild the sea
By love's light my foot finds
The old pathway to thee
Vair me oro van o
Vair me oro van ee
Vair me oru o ho
Sad am I without thee
Thou'rt the music of my heart
Harp of joy oh cruit mo chridh
Moon of guidance by night
Strength and light thou'rt to me
It is a beautiful, heart-felt rendering of a lovely Scottish gaelic treasure. Thank you Judith!
Goosebumps and wet eyes from emotion. Wow..😘
Judith. Enough said. In my opinion, greatest female voice ever.
It burns my 'ASSets' she isn't here anymore. Judith really was in a league of her own. Except for Karen Carpenter I can't think of anyone that came close or equal to Judith Durham.
Sad are we all without thee. Love your voice now and always.
Such a beautiful voice and lady!!
There has never been a more beautiful voice.
Wondrous angelic voice. I could listen to her forever.
Just beautiful
THINK ive just heard an ANGEL SING .
There is really just nobody else on earth that can sing like Judith Durham....a fact of life...her singing and voice is hauntingly beautiful...
Judith's voice at its peak I believe
Definitely
Thankyou Judith Durham for the music and memories - grew up to Seekers music - the carnival is over 💕
She had such a clear voice! Her former co-members from The Seekers must be feeling so sad today.
This lady might have the most beautiful voice I've ever heard. Sounds pure and full of wisdom st once.
I'm so glad I found these videos.
What a stunningly beautiful voice
What a stunningly beautiful woman.!! ❤❤
such a treasure ...

I know right… I’m thinking about her death everyday. It’s devastating.
Omg yes, it is sad. I think it's tragic that a singer with such a clear voice ended up with a chronic lung condition.
Sadly, it can just happen that way. For instance, I myself was diagnosed last year with chronic asthma, yet I've never smoked in my life, worked with asbestos, kept pets and nor did I or any of my family have that condition as kids. Work that one out.

Me too Tim , me too. .... she is an absolute gem .... Manchester UK
I fell in love with Judith Durham at the age of 5 or 6. Still love her at the age of 62!! Edinburgh, Scotland.
@@calumpiober1535 cobber, I'm right there with you! Goodonya Scottie, you blokes and sheilas are bloody grouse!
@@calumpiober1535 my Dappy loved Judith too.
He was a herring smoker in Mallaig.
What a beautiful woman singing a beautiful song (yeah I had such a crush on her back in the day) she is still gorgeous
every song.she.sings.is.spellbinding.I.can't.stop.listening
Farewell, Judith. 'Sad am I without thee...'
What a beautiful voice
Australia should declare Judith Durham a national treasure.
They did...
You mean they haven't?? Are you sure? The whole band is a treasure IMO.
Her name is Judith Durham/edgeworth with AO in the end. It is a highest honour given to her by AU
I totally agree
She really is Roger. Except for maby Karen Carpenter who has the range and tone of Judith Durhan in the last 50 years? Wow!
rest in peace Judith

I was born in 1957, and i was just a kid when the Seekers first burst on the to scene in the UK , but i've loved them ever since.

I thought I wrote that . . .
And "ugly garbage" is a kindness
She was a great lady and a great singer!
my primary school choir sung this song mid 1950s, I thought we were good, little did I know then.
Judith - lovely lady with a heavenly voice singing divinely.
Till the end her voice give me the chills. Such a beautiful person. RIP Judith.
No man who watches this two and a half minute love declaration would not wish to be the object of this girl´s love. Simply amazingly beautiful.
What an addition to the heavenly choirs. We in this world are at least left with these beautiful videos. Thanks ...
Not to mention all of those great singles and albums that she made both with The Seekers and also in her solo career..
She is so beautiful, in every way.

Wonderful
Rest in peace Judith 🌟❤️❤️❤️🌟🌟🌟🌟
Yes they are wonderful

Other than it being on one of their albums, I wouldn't say this was a The Seekers track, "just" a Judith one.
@@G6JPG Whether it's classed as a Seekers song or a Judith Durham solo performance, it's still a great song either way. Judith's vocals on it are just simply exquisite.
Simply beautiful
What a beautiful piece even got more attractive once i read her description of the gravity around the song 🌴🌼
She had everything looks voice just beautiful GodBess her ❤️
What a gift to have and a lovely lady not like some of today's singers with over inflated egos. Pure magic.
Couldnt agree more ...... Judith just has a magical talent for singing , she is a gift from Australia.
Beautiful song, beautiful singer, quite unforgettable.

The best female voice I hav ever heard. May her gentle soul rest in peace. Thank God for the Seekers. We will never see their like again.
Thanks Rich for another nugget from the incredible seekers
I could just listen to her forever.... stunning lady , great video , sang with so much feeling .... she is just so beautiful there.
A big thank you to Rich, Denny and the rest who work tirelessly to enable us to listen to these gems.
i couldn't agree more , well done guys and a big thank you from all of us.
What a voice. It gives me goose bumps. So pure, so crystal clear.
Just can't imagine a world without the lovely Ms. Durham
Definitely the best version I've ever heard of this wonderful haunting old Scottish song.
My grandmother passed away in March and my mother sang this at her funeral

I’ve heard and sung lots of folk music in my 67 years but I don’t know this one. Everything about this little film is so beautiful.
Beautiful voice
Recently heard this song for the first time on a local 60s radio station.I know not why I have never heard it before as it is beautifully sung by Judith Durham.
Gorgeous and sublime. Don't know what else to say.

What a beautiful voice she had
This shows off that fabulously clear voice and the way she hits those notes with utter precision. God bless you Judith
She was blessed at birth, gifted with unbelievable pipes. So sensual.
Amen
One of the loveliest traditional airs, sung by a great singer..
not only great: she's unique!
She would be missed and remembered, I was so sad and miserable when I heard of this bad news, Rest In Peace, my hero, my star😔
We used to sing this in our school choir at Junior school. I never knew where it came from, but I absolutely loved it! So pleased to finally find out who sang it. 🥰
It's a traditional gaelic song that originated from the Scottish Hebrides.
Grew up with that song and it's sung so beautiful by Judith. ❤️

Back again, Richard. Thank you for everything you do.
Judith Durham, Karen Carpenter and Hayley Westenra, 3 incredible voices and all unique. Have to say Judith is my most favorite (of the 3)
Judith could sing the phone book and I would still love it
Probably not, actually.
john bethell I agree, except it would be hard to get through the lawyers section
Aadvark, Abacus Accupuncture.....Zzzz

Yes me too.
What a beautiful woman, beautiful voice, beautiful song!
I learned this song as a small child and have not heard it again since then! What a delight to hear Judith's rendition. :)
I learned this folk-song when I was in primary school.
I never forgot it, and was delighted to find Judith Durham performing it in such excellent style. :)
A Scottish Love Song
Vair me o, ro van o
Vair me o, ro van ee
Vair me o, o ru o ho
Sad am I without thee
When I'm lonely, dear white heart
Black the night or wild the sea
By love's light my foot finds
The old pathway to thee.
Thou'rt the music of my heart
Harp of joy, o cruit mo chridh
Moon of guidance by night
Strength and light thou'rt to me
Thanks you. ❤ ❤ ❤
What a career that the Seekers endured during the years. A dream that really come true. God Love Them.
My Bonnie Lass, ore'r the sea, my heart is always with thee.
