but at least we're still kickin' and able to remember when music was basically a movement, so much new stuff happening in the music scene and i'm glad i was there
I lived in this song as I looked desperately to find myself after 3 brutal combat tours in Vietnam. I’m 75 now and still looking for that boy that shipped out to war. He was lost somewhere over there and never came back.
We aren't the same we was a moment ago, the boy who went out there was bound to change, you can't go back to where you was, you can only move forward and aren't the same man who returned either.
ive been diagnosed with uncurable brain cancer ! my papa that i never got along with probably prayed for me more than anyone!!!!!! its hard to die!!!!!
When I was a young boy back in the early 70's, I only had one friend. A girl named Veronica who was a year older and lived across the street. When I was around 6 or 7, she developed a brain tumor and wound up passing away in the next year. This song has always been a reminder of our friendship that was ended too soon, and I always get teary-eyed when I hear it.
John I am sorry about your friend no matter how long ago it seems like yesterday and other time's it feels like forever 😭🙏 my brother died of AIDS in my arms in 1991 and he used to play this song and little did I know he was trying to tell me he was dying. A friendship that close never goes away. But I cry alot. I miss him so much as I'm sure you miss Veronica 🙏😭🕊️💕✌️
In 1975 this was Michelle's (my girl) and my song. She died 1977 from leukemia. A bruise that wouldn't heal turned out to be my nightmare. Til this day I miss her with all my heart. She was my once in a lifetime
It's December 23, 2021 and I've just been diagnosed with prostate cancer and now I play this song for My Honey for 44 years.. I was hoping to see our 50th but it's all in Gods hand now.
hang in there im so sorry!.i lost my whole family and im alone at 62 and its scary and i used to be tough guy was in army and a pro boxer in texas things fold ya abit life is hard
NOT when u know JAH, JEHOVAH. YET I KNOW your pain per my 50s 60s parents who didn't show me I was existence. Thank u much for your expressions. It hits home..
@@gazoo3596 and Gerard King I've just gone into remission from Lymphoma cancer of which I now have heart failure. Compared to you both and many of millions others, I am so lucky and just have an inconvenience... I am so really really sorry for you both, my deepest condolences
I lost my wife 13 yrs ago even though I'm remarried and love my wife I still miss Margaret I think of her every day and miss her every day and think of her all the time, but now instead of being sad I smile and remember just how much I loved her and still do. I'm sorry for your loss .
I'm a terminally ill single mother. I wrote this song down for my baby to listen to when he turns 16. Good God, boy, you make me feel alive even when it hurts.
So sorry!! I just remembered this song by listening to one hit wonders, so sad but I love it, and I don't know you but I will pray for you and your Son!! 🙏🙏🙏
This song is felt deep in the heart. It's so hard to know what to say to you but I know that you will always be there to protect him and your son will feel you in his heart and mind, helping him make decisions throughout his life. Take care.
I lost my wife of 32 years summer 2018. When I'm sad and miss her, I come to this song, usually on a Sunday like today. Love you and miss you Sue, until next Sunday.
My friend died at 23. We'd met at around 5yrs old. His grandpa called us David and Jonathan, not knowing who was the the naughty one. We shared girlfriends, and life. I'll always miss him and none can ever take his place. I miss my friend, brother, Gavin. It's impossible to reflect on the friendship we had for the short time we had had together. Of one can grasp the meaning of true friendship it could be possible,😢
To me this is not a sad song. Yeah, it's about dying and some regret about decisions made in life, but at the same time it affirms a life that was lived to the fullest. Tt also makes it very clear that life goes on even without us, and that even in death our presence is always felt. Great lyrics and catchy melody.
Only because it was a simpler, better time. It seemed as if time moved slower back then. You didn't have cell phones to distract you; one had time for building friendships.
We played this at my mother's funeral. Just over 13 weeks ago my brothers and I was told our mother had days rather than weeks to live, she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. I want people to know what a brave, strong amazing warrior she was, she fought a very tough battle just to stay with us as long as she could. She was amazingly brave. we will all miss her dearly, there is now a huge void in our lives.
Jesus called your mum to help him papier a place for you and your brother to be back with your mum once again and this time it will be for ever (Just believe in God) i promise he won't let you down.
As a strong believer that there is life after death, this is a song [even if filled great sadness] that we will carry on in our hearts, in our souls for eternity as it will transcend time and space. To all the people who have lost their loved ones in their lifetime, have faith because it is the only force that gives us hope, that drives us forward along our life's journey. I firmly believe that we will reunite one day in God's Kingdom for everlasting life. Do not despair, we are here on Earth for only a brief passage in time like a spec of dust. To all the people that have been diagnosed and are stricken with a terminal disease, have faith that there are greater things waiting for you in God's Kingdom. My heart and compassion pours out along with my prayers for all of you. May God bless you all. I have lost many family members and friends along my life's journey, but I have faith and refuse to believe that we turn into dust and nothing more.
Grew up in the 70s. Remember when this song came out. Was 12. Building treeforts and making gocarts. All my neighborhood friends would help. Where are you all now. Miss this miss you...
Very sorry for your very sad loss Michele. You will always have your brilliant memories of your Dad. I’m delighted that your Dad liked this song and Terry Jacks
Susan Jacks passed away on 4/25/22. Her husband Terry wrote and performed this song. It's beautiful and timeless. RIP. Hope you all find peace in your lives.
actually, the poet Rod McKuen wrote and performed a much grittier and provocative version. It included his friend having an affair with his wife. Check it out.
I sure do miss the 70s, 80s and 90s. Sometimes I wish I could find a time machine and go back in time. Life was much easier and everyone enjoyed life! Is this your favorite song?
Born in 1966. 5 years ago I was in the Duke hospital saying my final goodbyes to my youngest son who had been hit by a driver who left the scene three days before. We have since moved away from the Durham, NC area because of the the pain was just no longer safe for us. We truly do love and miss you our Son and your brother is lost without you. Our lives will never be the same! *Rest In Peace “KBM” my son! You will always be loved & remembered!!!* *{VENGEANCE IS MINE SAITH THE LORD!}* With all my Love, Dad
@@nomerc3608 I'm so sorry 4 ur loss. I know how difficult forgiveness can b. My mother killed by drunk driver. Peace and love 2 u. Know u will b together again someday!!!
This song brings back memories of jumping on the bed with my great friends! We had no idea of the song, just the beat! Ramona Ruiz, Debbie Malone, Laureen Hubacheck, Dawn, what an amazing life I had growing up! Can’t forget my best guy friends more like brothers, Mark and Glen Godsey!💕💕💕💕 I lost my Mom at age 9-10, life went I don’t even know where? I never was able to be with my friends again😢😢 Kelly Moore, the Hepners, so so many more that made my life beautiful! Tammy across from Laureen. Her mom said she was too busy babysitting to come to the beach to visit. I miss them all💕💕💕💕 We had many wonderful seasons💕💕💕
Growing up in the 70's was so much fun. Junior High school in NYC, there was so many pretty girls in Levi's jeans and no make up. Just natural beauty, and this song was our JHS senior graduation song. Boy, do I love going to school during that time.
The times were tumultuous. Much hate, love and death. The music brings all of us for our own reasons. Let it bring what you need. Don't judge anyone else for their needs and memories. ♥️
yes there were a lot of black sheep in families in the 70s. Most of us had a great time. if the family considers you the black sheep, just go find your own family. worked fo rme.
Dieses Lied hat mir in meiner schwer depressiven Kindheit, gerade ein wenig Englisch verstehend, wohl das Leben gerettet: Heute bin ich immerhin 58 und kann nur sagen: Danke..! :)
well I can still sort of read Dutch, not bad. can't write it though. would seem people in the Netherlands liked this song also. The song was very Vancouverish/West Coast like. Back then Vancouver was interesting as were the surround areas. When people asked why we so different, one writer responded: this is the only major city in the world where half an hour from the stock exchange, you can die in the wilderness. (knew people who did)
I was born in the early 60s and today's music don't come close to what I grew up with and still listen to it today. 60s 70s 80s was and still is the best music ever played including country, rock and every other genre of music.
Hell yea, even country was cool back then, give me some Coe any day over the crap they push today. And don't get me started on Zappa, I'll write a block text no will read. So many greats.
I was a young pup when I got my first permanent duty station at MacDill AFB Tampa Florida. While on break each morning my workmates would constantly down the song and anyone who liked it. I never lost anyone as some people have but the song is so beautiful and I hope brings a calming affect to those who did suffer a loss. I'm sorry my AF friends couldn't see the beauty of this truly wonderful song. Take care everyone.
Every time I hear this song even today it makes me sad that everyone I have known has never wanted to continue to be a lifelong friend outside of a marriage.
This song makes me recall a girl that I went to school with. Pam and I went to Junior High and High School together. She lived 3 houses from me and we would walk home together. She thought of me as the brother she never had. I loved her dearly but she was a year older than me and much more mature. She was lost to cancer several years ago but I still think of her often.
I'm fighting stage 4 cancer, I'm also a war vetran this song hit home very close to home I lost friends in the war and to cancer, this a wonderful song the words match the name there is a time for every thing death, life, happiness, sadness, to all those that can relate to this song like I myself can my heart go out to each and every one of you.
This song always reminded me of my boyfriend, then later my husband, we met when we were just kids, when we got married, I was 15 and he was 19, he passed away not long ago, I can't listen to this song now, my heart is broke😌✌️
I just lost my Son on 9/13/2021, and last night had dinner with his best friend growing up and this song tells his story, I will always love him and miss him.
my memory of this song is being in the back of a ford capri gt, i think it was 1971 maybe 72, this was playing just as the driver lost it in a bend...next thing i knew i was climbing out of the front windscreen while this was still playing on the radio:):)...brings back memories
I have not heard this dong since I was about 10, I am 54 with 2 grown up young men ., who are 20 and 22. This song came into my you tube selection, and my gosh the tears just rolled down my eyes none stop. I thought of my mother who I lost 😞 in 2016, amongst other things in my life… as other comments have said I believe it is someone who’s time is coming to a close on this 🌎 earth😢. Such a heartfelt, touching song which will effect everyone in a different way, depending on your own personal life . I would love our beautiful Lord to bring each and every 1 of you as much health, happiness, and peace that is possibly!! May the good Lord look after all of you in any shape or form. GOD BLESS Luv Linda in Toronto July 2021 xx🇨🇦♥️🙏
My best friend's son passed away 9 weeks ago of an OD. I guess everybody thought I knew and I just found out about 8 hours ago. He was just 25. I had just caught him on FB about a week before he passed and asked how his dad and mom and he was doing. He was thrilled to hear from me, it was a 20 minute conversation easy. It shocked me to the core, and it hurts, such a joy to be around. RIP Jackson, I think this song fits you, me, your dad and mom.
My mom told me she loved this song & months later she passed. We played this at her funeral. I was so young I didn’t remember who sang it. Then it played in the midnight club & instantly I knew it was THE SONG. Now I’m crying @ 2:53AM listening to this song for the first time since her funeral. I love you mom
I wanted this played at my funeral, but my first boyfriend, first love and then my husband, passed away recently, we married when I was 15 and he 19, we always loved this song, he and I were the 70s, My heart is breaking, 😢 can't listen to it now, maybe one day I will be able too, but just not now
I was a teenager when this song hit the airwaves when I moved from NYC to a tropical rural Florida where for the first time I ever picked starfish on the beach. Jensen Beach, Florida. always brought a lovely calm despite referencing death and I wish it was playing on airwaves 2024. Greatest Generation.
Seasons in the Sun" is the story of a dying man, bidding farewell to loved ones who have shared his life. ... With the money he made from this song, Jacks purchased a boat, which he christened "Seasons in the Sun." He began sailing up and down the west coast of Alaska and Canada, and had some revelations along the way.
In my youth I thought it was a song about suicide and the final message left. Over the years, and after suffering the loss of my parents, sister and too many friends, I understand it for what it is. A heartfelt message of love from a dying person or to a dying person.
I relate to this at a deep and very emotional level, the fist part a friendship of 40 years. The second goodbye Michelle a tribute to my sister lost to covid. I will be with her soon this will be played at my funeral as well as Disturbeds sound of silence. I am being hounded by authorities because of my decision but all is good happy with my choice of songs.
"I am a 54-year old (male) & it still gets me emotional as to where I cry". "Even if I try NOT to cry I get overcome with sad emotions through past sad life events I have experienced".
I hope it's not a premonition--for either of my very elderly cats or my nearly-as-ancient self--but I woke up this morning with this song running through my head; first time I've thought of it in decades.
Who's still reminiscing with this in 2024..?
ALWAYS!!!!!!
🖐
Me
Remember it …it is me now
Haven't listened since 2021 but I found it waiting for me in my favorite videos list
How lucky were some of us to live in a time of really great music
If I could go back in time it would be the 70s when life was simple and music was meaningful and it was a privilege to be a teenager in that era
I grew up in the 70s, and things were not as crazy or sinister as they are now. 😢
best of times
The hardest part about getting old is looking back.
You said that right! It's a killer.
Very true
Absolutely 😞
but at least we're still kickin' and able to remember when music was basically a movement, so much new stuff happening in the music scene and i'm glad i was there
Looking back and seeing how much better things were. People had hearts and souls then.
We grew up listening to some of the best music ever made.
50 Year Record Award 📀
You were very lucky .
Yes didn't we! ❤️
too bad this song wasn't part of it
@@DennisDolan-fl3mw I am not sure what rock you may have been hiding under but I remember that song it was never a favorite but I remember it.
I lived in this song as I looked desperately to find myself after 3 brutal combat tours in Vietnam. I’m 75 now and still looking for that boy that shipped out to war. He was lost somewhere over there and never came back.
This what heartbreaking to read. I hope you find peace within your situation. Thank you for your service.
That's real sad. All the youth that is damaged due to needless wars ..sigh. I am sorry for your loss.
that's heart breaking. I hope you find peace
We aren't the same we was a moment ago, the boy who went out there was bound to change, you can't go back to where you was, you can only move forward and aren't the same man who returned either.
I am so sorry for you
ive been diagnosed with uncurable brain cancer ! my papa that i never got along with probably prayed for me more than anyone!!!!!! its hard to die!!!!!
I wish you the best my friend!
god bless, let me know how things are going...will say prayers for you my friend, hare krishna xx
It is well with your soul.... God is in control
I'm very sorry!
Make your peace with God. He is not distant. He will meet you right where you are. Godspeed, may you find peace.
When I was a young boy back in the early 70's, I only had one friend. A girl named Veronica who was a year older and lived across the street. When I was around 6 or 7, she developed a brain tumor and wound up passing away in the next year. This song has always been a reminder of our friendship that was ended too soon, and I always get teary-eyed when I hear it.
Man, that's horrible
Veronica remembered with a tear in 2021 by a stranger.
💔💔💔
John I am sorry about your friend no matter how long ago it seems like yesterday and other time's it feels like forever 😭🙏 my brother died of AIDS in my arms in 1991 and he used to play this song and little did I know he was trying to tell me he was dying.

Takes me right back to 1974. Long hair ,flared trousers. We thought time would last forever.
Dear Jesus, what has happened to the World Soul that we don't have music like this anymore?
❤
This makes me think of my sister in law, Karla! She passed away of cancer 2 days ago! We all miss her very much!
In 1975 this was Michelle's (my girl) and my song. She died 1977 from leukemia. A bruise that wouldn't heal turned out to be my nightmare. Til this day I miss her with all my heart. She was my once in a lifetime
I am so sorry

I first heard the song on 1972 at the age of seven now I am 56 and still listening to it, brings tear in my eyes.
we're the same age I was 7 in 1972 and I can remember this song, and all the others we had gifted to us in the 70's by artists with true talent.
I was born overseas in 67 on military base.
Born in 1966. 5 years ago I was in the Duke hospital saying my final goodbyes to my youngest son who had been hit by a driver who left the scene three days before. We have since moved away from the Durham, NC area because of the the pain was just no longer safe for us.
We truly do love and miss you our Son and your brother is lost without you. Our lives will never be the same!
*Rest In Peace “KBM” my son! You will always be loved & remembered!!!*
*{VENGEANCE IS MINE SAITH THE LORD!}*
With all my Love,
Dad
Weren’t released until December 73!
@@nomerc3608 I'm so sorry 4 ur loss. I know how difficult forgiveness can b. My mother killed by drunk driver. Peace and love 2 u. Know u will b together again someday!!!
This song brings back memories of jumping on the bed with my great friends! We had no idea of the song, just the beat! Ramona Ruiz, Debbie Malone, Laureen Hubacheck, Dawn, what an amazing life I had growing up! Can’t forget my best guy friends more like brothers, Mark and Glen Godsey!💕💕💕💕 I lost my Mom at age 9-10, life went I don’t even know where? I never was able to be with my friends again😢😢 Kelly Moore, the Hepners, so so many more that made my life beautiful! Tammy across from Laureen. Her mom said she was too busy babysitting to come to the beach to visit. I miss them all💕💕💕💕 We had many wonderful seasons💕💕💕
Growing up in the 70's was so much fun. Junior High school in NYC, there was so many pretty girls in Levi's jeans and no make up. Just natural beauty, and this song was our JHS senior graduation song. Boy, do I love going to school during that time.
Its aug 2021 still listening..whos with me!!

@@joewalton5636 yeah me too ill drink my beer
Good morning everybody let's go back to the good old days, with lots of peace and no hate. 🙏🏽🌺🐕
wan't peaceful for everone
The times were tumultuous. Much hate, love and death. The music brings all of us for our own reasons. Let it bring what you need. Don't judge anyone else for their needs and memories. ♥️
Amen
Please 🙏❤
I only wish this were true
In 1974 I was 9 years old and in grade 4 when this song came out. Loved this song then and still do...
Just remembered my mom bought me the 45 of this song. I played it over and over...
This song is too good to leave...
54 yrs here and still listening to this sad great song I keep in my phone 2021 miss the great ole days
If you aren't crying after watching this video you may not have a soul. Very moving. Thank you for this.
I'm 57 and today I lost a friend who I'd known since we were 9 or 10, RIP Trev you were a trusted friend
My brother was the black sheep of the kids. We stick together today and tomorrow for always. The only brother I can trust. I love my brother.
Hello Linda, how's everything going with you?
yes there were a lot of black sheep in families in the 70s. Most of us had a great time. if the family considers you the black sheep, just go find your own family. worked fo rme.
I am 59 and still listening to this song. Grew up on old time rock and roll. Been listening to this song since I little.
Im 63 and still listening to it in my collection
@@AnwarYunos That's good. I listen to old time country classic music to.
@@lindalippert4414 Hello Linda, how's everything going with you?
I grew up listening to this song. Very much a tear jerker. Love it though.
Hello Rebecca how's everything going with you?
Dieses Lied hat mir in meiner schwer depressiven Kindheit, gerade ein wenig Englisch verstehend, wohl das Leben gerettet: Heute bin ich immerhin 58 und kann nur sagen: Danke..! :)
Hoffe es geht dir jetzt gut
@@janina150 Danke: Ja..!
@@Jan-bx6iu Sehr schön
well I can still sort of read Dutch, not bad. can't write it though. would seem people in the Netherlands liked this song also. The song was very Vancouverish/West Coast like. Back then Vancouver was interesting as were the surround areas. When people asked why we so different, one writer responded: this is the only major city in the world where half an hour from the stock exchange, you can die in the wilderness. (knew people who did)
Another underrated singer.
Hello Joanne, how's everything going with you?
Lost my friend when l was ten years old she was nine will never forget her 💟💟
How are you doing Mary?
I used to listen to this song all the time when I was growing up in Scotland in the 1970s.
Almost forgotten song!
Tonight I found it by mumbling because I listened it in an old film ending !
RUclips is miracle !
@@voskreglavincevska3651 Hello there how are you doing?

My wife Jeannette died 20 years ago. I just found out I will be with here soon. This song was the first song I look up.
@@sillyoldfrog amen to that
Rest in peace
Im sorry for all your losses Trust me I know how you feel
I was born in the early 60s and today's music don't come close to what I grew up with and still listen to it today. 60s 70s 80s was and still is the best music ever played including country, rock and every other genre of music.
u so right...
Same here, that was and still is the best music ever
I agree, 100% I'd bet musicians today, were inspired by great artists of the 60s-80s
as pessoas amam mesmo
Hell yea, even country was cool back then, give me some Coe any day over the crap they push today. And don't get me started on Zappa, I'll write a block text no will read. So many greats.
I was a young pup when I got my first permanent duty station at MacDill AFB Tampa Florida. While on break each morning my workmates would constantly down the song and anyone who liked it. I never lost anyone as some people have but the song is so beautiful and I hope brings a calming affect to those who did suffer a loss. I'm sorry my AF friends couldn't see the beauty of this truly wonderful song. Take care everyone.
Every time I hear this song even today it makes me sad that everyone I have known has never wanted to continue to be a lifelong friend outside of a marriage.
👍
This song makes me recall a girl that I went to school with. Pam and I went to Junior High and High School together. She lived 3 houses from me and we would walk home together. She thought of me as the brother she never had. I loved her dearly but she was a year older than me and much more mature. She was lost to cancer several years ago but I still think of her often.
I'm fighting stage 4 cancer, I'm also a war vetran this song hit home very close to home I lost friends in the war and to cancer, this a wonderful song the words match the name there is a time for every thing death, life, happiness, sadness, to all those that can relate to this song like I myself can my heart go out to each and every one of you.
Gabriel Kottke thank you sir for your service
❤ I'm praying for you! Yes, thank you to you and your friends for your service and making it so I can be free...
Stay strong mate, you will get it 💪💪💪
Where are you from?
cancer get you yet or are you still with us
Gabriel Kottke God bless you you are a true Patriot you are in my heart and prayers
This song always reminded me of my boyfriend, then later my husband, we met when we were just kids, when we got married, I was 15 and he was 19, he passed away not long ago, I can't listen to this song now, my heart is broke😌✌️
Hello Tammy, how's everything going with you?
@@Hawkins-kl3rj I'm ok, thanks for asking, have a goodnight
@@tammyrenee64 You're welcome. How's your day going so far? May I know where you are from?
I just lost my Son on 9/13/2021, and last night had dinner with his best friend growing up and this song tells his story, I will always love him and miss him.
I sang this as a little girl and sing it today !God Bless you !
Hello Heather how are things going with you?
my very VERY good mate died in 2013...he loved this song R.I.P big geez
my memory of this song is being in the back of a ford capri gt, i think it was 1971 maybe 72, this was playing just as the driver lost it in a bend...next thing i knew i was climbing out of the front windscreen while this was still playing on the radio:):)...brings back memories
Remember this being no.1 in the charts when i was little.
Growing up in the 70s was a blessing and blast
77yrs old and still cry when I listen. Lost my husband a Vietnam Nam Vet in 2019.
Sorry for your lost, that Is nature for you, you can cheat nature
First time I heard this song 1973
And still listening with love
This song is still one of the greatest
I have not heard this dong since I was about 10, I am 54 with 2 grown up young men ., who are 20 and 22. This song came into my you tube selection, and my gosh the tears just rolled down my eyes none stop. I thought of my mother who I lost 😞 in 2016, amongst other things in my life… as other comments have said I believe it is someone who’s time is coming to a close on this 🌎 earth😢. Such a heartfelt, touching song which will effect everyone in a different way, depending on your own personal life . I would love our beautiful Lord to bring each and every 1 of you as much health, happiness, and peace that is possibly!! May the good Lord look after all of you in any shape or form. GOD BLESS Luv Linda in Toronto July 2021 xx🇨🇦♥️🙏
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
same story for me
"Nice emotional heartwarming words it is touching GOD BLESS YOU TO & your loved ones".
My best friend's son passed away 9 weeks ago of an OD. I guess everybody thought I knew and I just found out about 8 hours ago. He was just 25. I had just caught him on FB about a week before he passed and asked how his dad and mom and he was doing. He was thrilled to hear from me, it was a 20 minute conversation easy. It shocked me to the core, and it hurts, such a joy to be around. RIP Jackson, I think this song fits you, me, your dad and mom.
I am so sorry ((((hugs)))))
@@Lisa-jg6gt Ty, am better now, just was caught blindsided with the news.
❤✌🏻
♥️
bin geboren 1954, das waren die Lieder meiner Zeit, die ich noch heute mit fast 70 Jahren gerne wieder höre.
Going through a rough time and this song just popped in my head and during a quick search learned it was released the year I was born
Chapter 4 brought me here!!!
Wonderfull Song!!!!!
My mom told me she loved this song & months later she passed. We played this at her funeral. I was so young I didn’t remember who sang it. Then it played in the midnight club & instantly I knew it was THE SONG. Now I’m crying @ 2:53AM listening to this song for the first time since her funeral. I love you mom
I wanted this played at my funeral, but my first boyfriend, first love and then my husband, passed away recently, we married when I was 15 and he 19, we always loved this song, he and I were the 70s,
My heart is breaking, 😢 can't listen to it now, maybe one day I will be able too, but just not now
@@tammyrenee64 🫂🫂🫂🫂
Got you in my thoughts and prayers dear😌💙
Sorry for your loss.😞🥲.
I was a teenager when this song hit the airwaves when I moved from NYC to a tropical rural Florida where for the first time I ever picked starfish on the beach. Jensen Beach, Florida. always brought a lovely calm despite referencing death and I wish it was playing on airwaves 2024. Greatest Generation.
TERRY JACKS💖🕺🌟🤩🌝🌞
Great!🎼🎵🎸🎤📀🎧🎥👍👏
From Hong Kong🙋♀️🌏💝🌺🥰
Hello Jane how are you doing?
Seasons in the Sun" is the story of a dying man, bidding farewell to loved ones who have shared his life. ... With the money he made from this song, Jacks purchased a boat, which he christened "Seasons in the Sun." He began sailing up and down the west coast of Alaska and Canada, and had some revelations along the way.
Oh that's good,good for him,a brilliant song🙏🙏🙏
Yes
In my youth I thought it was a song about suicide and the final message left. Over the years, and after suffering the loss of my parents, sister and too many friends, I understand it for what it is. A heartfelt message of love from a dying person or to a dying person.
I relate to this at a deep and very emotional level, the fist part a friendship of 40 years. The second goodbye Michelle a tribute to my sister lost to covid. I will be with her soon this will be played at my funeral as well as Disturbeds sound of silence. I am being hounded by authorities because of my decision but all is good happy with my choice of songs.
I hope whenever someone talks about this song and the times they had, I hope they have an amazing story!
60 years old and this still makes me cry. Still love it
Friends, family, and many loved ones have passed. I'm sending this to you Julie because we can still enjoy the day!
no need cry just enjoy
"I am a 54-year old (male) & it still gets me emotional as to where I cry". "Even if I try NOT to cry I get overcome with sad emotions through past sad life events I have experienced".
I hope it's not a premonition--for either of my very elderly cats or my nearly-as-ancient self--but I woke up this morning with this song running through my head; first time I've thought of it in decades.
Just lost two friends this montth.... This song brings much needed comfort.. 😎🐕
