Three guys and a girl, no hate, no spite, no multi million dollar sound systems and stage lights, no nakedness - just the great voice of Judith, great harmonies and beautiful music.
I can’t find the words my heart is feeling. We were all so blessed to be able to enjoy the music we had. There will never be another generation quite like this one was. They were the best of times. 🦋🦋🦋
You are so right Glenda - we were so lucky with the music we had and the freedom and optimism of the time. A real case of "you don't know what you've got till it's gone"
@@Texas_Pariah Pierrot is the sad clown who pines for the love of Columbine who breaks his heart when she leaves him for Harlequin. These where stock characters from the troupe of players in the Comedie- Italienne in the late 17th century.
My nanny has just passed 3 days ago and this is her chosen service song I've listened to the lyrics and my poor grandad is going to break at the service along with us all, these lyrics are so beautiful but very very sad im crying my heart out , waiting for a funeral date . Fly high with them wings now Nanny I love you so much 😭💔xxxx
@@tryton111 ❤its been 2 months now and I listen to her songs over and over its still very very hard they say time is a healer I do hope so because I hurt every single day 💔xx
If anyone is wondering who Pierrot and Columbine are, they are stock characters in Italian la comedie del' art (God knows alone, if I spelt that right) which influenced British pantomime which came later. Pierrot was a servant boy who pined for the love of Columbine, a young woman whose father was the wealthy but corrupt and greedy Pantalone. And just when it appeared that they might be happy she would always leave him for Harlequin, whom she was in love with and whom her father was tryingg to separate, Pierrot always being a fall guy in every plan. Hence, "But the joys of love are fleeting for Pierrot and Columbine" as in the song.
I suspect you are close to the mark given that these lyrics were written by Tom Springfield (who actually died about 4 or 5 weeks before Judith). He adapted them from the original Russian language.
Yes this is such a true and wonderful song the music and the lyrics are really perfectly matched such a beautiful song I'm playing this at my funeral and my mums when the time comes 😢😢😢😢😢
I'd like to see and hear Susan Boyle sing this poignant and thought-provoking ballad/song. She would do it justice; though not, perhaps, as good as Judith and The Seekers. But, we can't have everything!! Dear Judith, save me a place in heaven next to you and my beloved wife, who I miss so dreadfully. Then we may both hear your wonderful voice sing this wonderful ballad/song for all eternity. God Bless You Both. Darling Elsie, I will ALWAYS love and miss you. XXXXXXX
I once lamented the same thing to one of my customers. He reminded me, "there was only one Perfect Man ever walked this earth - and even he could not please everybody.". I am happy to call you my friend.
@@tryton111 Oh, thank you very much Victor! I am also glad to be able to call you My Friend. It comforts me a lot to talk to you because my nature is Pessimism and it gives me the impression that you are a Stoic, that is why I like to listen to you, because, then, the World no longer seems so inhospitable to me.
One more thing, Victor. Two days ago I turned 51 years old. I was born on May 20, 1970. I have Peter Pan Syndrome, so it's like I have turned 15 years old. I was watching on the internet what happened that day in the world, and the news I liked the most was the premiere, in London, of "Let It Be", by my beloved BEATLES. It had already premiered in New York a week before, on May 13, but I'm not interested in New York, I'm interested in London and Liverpool. The world welcomed me with good music and a good movie. Now I am looking forward to seeing the new version of Peter Jackson, which is going to be titled '' Get Back '', showing laughter and good vibes among the '' Fab Four ''. Thanks for listening, Victor. ''Happy birthday to me!'' .etc.
@@tryton111 Well, Victor, I'll tell you that my dad was born on October 9, 1944. It's good to remember that John Lennon was also born on October 9, but in 1940.
Actual music. Actual notes sung. No yowling, caterwauling, awful drum machine, screeching -just musical notes. This generation now have damaged hearing and can't hear music any more. Tragedy!
The lyrics speak of Pierrot and Columbine, two characters from a seventeenth-century pantomime. I have chosen an image of them to go with the music. I am sorry, it is not Jesus.
@@tryton111 That's strange! I have just written a comment about Pierrot and Columbine and now I see this. Oh well, you can correct me if I got it wrong! 😀 I've been breezing through a lot of the old songs you posted. I have a wide range of musical interests.
@@oleggorky906 I have a similar wide taste in music, Dan. My other channel (sunryse111) has everything from Al Jolson to Del Shannon. There's Country, Reggae, Rock 'n' Roll, Do-wop and Bubblegum. Something for everyone, I hope.
@@tryton111 That is to say, as I'm sure you will know, the man who memorably portrayed Al Jolson, Larry Parks, was blacklisted in the McCarthy witch-hunts.

What is this song about?
Who is Pierrot and Columbine?

Beautiful song, from my childhood days. Thank you SO much
My pleasure.
Am sure the words of this song can relate to us all in our youth. Certainly can to me. Keep reminding me of my youth through this greet song.
It's a beautiful, yet sad song, a proper tear jerker.
I burst out crying every time I hear this song it’s so beautiful. I want it played at my funeral
Not just yet though, huh?
@@tryton111 Been fighting cancer a long time. This song will be perfect.
@@plug1461 Stay with us, my friend.

Yes this is such a true and wonderful song the music and the lyrics are really perfectly matched such a beautiful song I'm playing this at my funeral and my mums when the time comes 😢😢😢😢😢
when all good things must come to an end.
The angels 😇 have another choir member
Four Strong Winds. Always chokes me up.
Rest in Peace Judith Durham.
Judith's voice would call the birds out of the trees.
It certainly had that effect on me!
Judith Durham joined Ronald Edgeworth up in heaven on the 5th of August 2022 she was 79 years old.
may the both of them rest in peace.
Thank you. For any subscribers unsure who Ron Edgeworth was - please check out The hot Jazz Duo on Google.

Never to be forgotten.
Yes, it's a sad song, Victor. It suits me like a glove, because yesterday I definitely disappointed someone. For me, this song is the Goodbye March.

No is the russian "Stenka Rasin"
No more free gifts…

Those days we had quality music, nowadays just techno boom boom, bad for the brain.
