The songs of the seekers and her singing is over 50 yrs old but there are still many people who hear and loves both. Can we say this from the modern "singers", too, in 50 yrs...? I dont think so. Thats a real and eternal legacy these band and Judith gave us.
RIP Judith. The Carnival is Over. I’m so upset. Met you at the park near us with Bruce Woodley(a friend of ours) whiles Bruce’s and our dogs played. Lovely lady and a voice that never changed.
The carnival is over and the harbour light is calling this will be our last goodbye what beautiful word's sung by a lovely lady god bless and keep you Judith Durham
This is only a suggestion, and I don't think ANYONE could replicate the abfab voice of Judith and The Seekers,; but do you think Susan Boyle would do a favourable rendition of The Carnival Is Over? I really would love to see and hear Susan sing this thought-provoking song; wouldn't you? They both - Judith and Susan - have the 'same sort of singing voice'; don't they? If you, or anyone has any idea how to make this happen, please let me know.
Such a sad day today, losing the wonderful Judith. This song has been part of my life for so many years, and now the carnival really is over. RIP, Judith Durham.
A beautiful song, sung by a beautiful lady. This song has meant much to me over the years. Thank you for the memories and you. May Your Soul Rest In Peace. ÂMEN. 🌹
Absolutely agree Stevie. Judith was an Aussie "national treasure" and much loved here in the UK - her songs and her talent live on and remain part of our lives.
I played this song at my wife's funeral a few weeks ago , we loved this song and it bring tears to my eyes every time I hear it , we spent 50 wonderful years together and my dear wife passed in her sleep with her loving husband beside her , now the carnival is sadly over . R I P
@@buyungadil1 THANKS for your kind words , it's been six months since my wife passed away and I still miss her every single day . God bless and STAY SAFE .
The purest voice in pop music was no understatement back in the sixties and even more so today in this age of narcissism.Judith Durham was a one off and had the admiration of all her peers including those like Dusty Springfield who were more left of centre .
Listening in sorrow hearing the news that Judith Durham is no longer with us. Such a great talent and part of my childhood. Vale Judith. We'll never find another you.
I had this song playing at my mothers funeral.It was her favourite. I play it at times holding her photo and we dance around my kitchen.And I can guarantee you that the sun shines through the window and I know its her.I miss my mum she was my best friend. 💖💐
Yes your Dear Mother is making contact with you via the medium of the Sun. I understand the dreadful pain you are going through. But however you will meet again when the time occurs and be happy. Take care.
Ian ' morning town ride with Judith singing with a kid on her lap sums her up a beautiful caring lady R'I'P you Australian icon & world ' our loved Judith R'I'P honey
The voice of an angel little changed over 50 or more years. Few vocalists can claim to be so persistent. I am a 75 year old male and am not ashamed to admit that Judith brings tears to my eyes every time I hear her sing.
I lost my mum on August 14th 2024. She introduced me to the album 'The Best of The Seekers' when I was a kid and this was always one of my favourite songs. It means more now than ever. I've cried a million tears and I don't know where I begin to getting over the loss of my mum
I agree about the song but I'm not sure about Judith being underrated, she's usually held up as one of the greatest voices of popular music history in my experience.
I think her voice is even better as she has grown older. It has lowered a bit more. She also seems much more comfortable in her own skin. Lovely to watch.
A masterpiece. Judith Durham sings like an Angel. One of the greatest ever female singers. A voice as pure & sweet as honey. Seekers are Musical Geniuses
@@trevorevans9346 why ? Give credit where it's due. IMO ( & millions of other people ) they were brilliant. Judith Durham is one of the greatest female singers ever & the band were also involved in the songwriting process. You're right, not everyone should be called Musical Geniuses but the Seekers deserve this title
@@johnno556 I think the word "Genius" is over used in this age of celebrity exposure. Yes, the Seekers made some good records and pleased many people. That does not make them "Genius level". However, you are entitled to your opinion.... Most "celeb artists" labelled "Genius" these days are not. Maybe Bob Dylan, The Beatles fit that description.
I’m just a year younger than Judith and can’t help but choke up with emotion each time I hear her sing. She’s been my favorite since hearing her for the first time. I shed many a tear on foreign ports while nursing my drinks.
My husband passed some six years ago and this particular song brought us comfort when he learnt his illness was incurable. We often played it as we sat cuddled in together. We both wanted the world to stop revolving but that was sheer fantasy and wishful thinking. We were blessed with four more months together and I cannot say how often we played this song. Of course, I still miss my husband more than words can express, however, I have my memories and this beautiful song. To those out there who have lost a loved one, I send you love and prayers and for those deeply in love, I ask that you remember to tell one another how much you really do love them.
Anna, that is truly touching. May your dad sing for ever more. I often find myself singing it in my mind when I feel that I need to feel my late husbands closeness. It was, as you have already read, a song that we played until he passed. Keep your dad safe and healthy during this crazy Covid-19 time. Nite nite, Chela.x
I sat my children on my lap and now my grandchildren and in a croaky deep voice, while jiggling them up and down to get the vibrato going singing, 'Wandering Star'; my daughter tells me she does it now also and I think it may be something that continues on. Just like with your dad, the happy memories of favourite songs truly keeps us going; this was probably one of the first Albums which we purchased as a family and I am still captured by their performances. I can't remember the name of the Album but just like the song goes, Everyone's a Winner.
@@normangale3159 What a great thing to pass on. My grand dad sang the song "I Believe", So did my mother......so did I. My son, who has just made me a grandma now sings it to his new born. Okay, it's done with tongue in cheek, but none the less, it's belted out! I don't believe that there has ever been one of us with a melodic voice, but who cares.
Back again to listen to her beautiful voice why is there no love in todays songs for everyone i'm 70 and am not heartless but we need to care for others more instead of ourselves
@@carolmakin8075 Agreed...great times...great memories...he shook my hand in 1967 telling me he was going abroad and said '' Good bye Tom, I probably won 't see you again'' ...not seen him since.
You got that right! I've never heard or read anything bad about her personal lifestyle in 50+ years! She's a beauty inside and out with a voice from another dimension.
We’ll always have the joy of Judith’s voice though. What a stunning legacy! Thank you to The Seekers for so many wonderful songs and memories. Vale, Judith.
Judith had a marvelous voice, clear and beautiful tones, glad we have so many recordings to remember her by, she may have passed but her voice remains.
This song's melancholy refrain has always been a tear jerker; even more so since I heard the news of Judith passing away yesterday. I am sixty years old and the Seekers (particularly Judith's Chrystal clear voice) form some of my earliest musical memories. RIP lovely lady. Your voice will live on.
I was recently on holiday in Ireland and was completely unaware of Judith's passing until last night. R.I.P. Judith Durham 💔. We'll never find another you.
@@simonramsay6080 Best-known yes, but being best-known does not make anything the best. The Russian lyrics have much more power, and Anna German enhanced it greatly. Look her up. You will find her interesting at the very least.
Wounded and hospitalised, in December 1966 in Aden after being mortared, 18 year old Soldier who's mother back in the Uk was a nurse and widow heard by telegram I was seriously wounded, pledged this song on BFPO radio......I have loved it and Judith ever since!!! Now 71 and still do....
You responded to my message re The Carnival is Over Wounded. In hospital back in 66. You must have had your poor mother in knots! . With VE day just having past I felt it only right to respond. They certainly don't churn out decent songs nowadays. Look after yourself during this mad pandemic. Chela.x
Richard Gray I am still in touch with Brian harrington Spier, to this day he is now 78 and still a fit old soldier who received an MBE for his performance in ADEN. Cheers.
I think that Judith Durham was one of the most underated female singers she had a fabulous voice so easy and clear one of the best of her generation sadly missed
I'd never heard this song till my mums partner posted it on fb the day we lost her, and I think I'm for it because it is such a beautiful song, we had it at her funeral as 1 of her songs, it'll be 4 yrs on the 29/11/24 and it never gets easier, r.i.p mumma, 21/03/57 29/11_2020..
My wonderful father died on my 15th birthday on the 10th April 1964. I sang the Seekers songs accompanied by my accordion from the age of 16. My best were Morningtown Ride and The Carnival is over. I am 75 now and tomorrow I will take down my accordion ans see how I do. I will teach my 6 year old grandson Abe Morningtown Ride as its surely a little child's song under the blankets. God rest u Judith.
I heard a request for this on late night radio from an old man because 'this cancer has just about got me '. Wow I'll never listen to this song in the same way again. RIP old man. You requested the best.
It was my mum's funeral this morning and this has always been one of her most favourite songs. She loved Judith and the Seekers. So rightfully we played it in memory of her. No better song for my wonderful mum xxx
I first heard this song when I was 5 years old in 1965 in Malaysia. At that time, I never knew who the singers were. Today I heard it again when I am 59 years old. I was moved to tears. But I did not want to keep this beautiful memory to myself, so I invited my daughter Ruth (18 years) to listen to this song. I told her my childhood story, growing up and listening to this song. When she heard it, she started to cry as well. And we both hugged each other and cried. We were amazed at Judith's voice, the male accompaniments and the unforgettable lyrics. So touching.
It`s been a while since I`ve hear this for a while Peter, and made me fill up listening to it too. So many memories it brought up, from growing up with my beloved parent`s.
Lucky enough to see the Seekers at Longleat House in the mid sixties and met them backstage after their performance. Such a friendly group of people. Judith Durham had a magnificent voice. A truly wonderful lady.
A very sad moment for me personally as you are my favourite female singer , you sang my favourite song, you passed away on my birthday (I was in hospital) we met back in 1967 an Angel was mentioned you were then you are now and always will be , The Carnival is over but your journey will never end. RIP Judith.
Nothing seems big enough to describe this wonderful lady’s talent and subsequent music career. A sad day for Australia and the wider music loving World. Bless you Judith Durham.
No other sound can transport me back into the 1960s as do the Seekers. Judith Durham with her incredible voice together with great backing play and rhythm. Life seemed simpler then, and days full of happiness.
My mother (Sadly passed) loved the Seekers and while they were not cool to me then, I have come to realise what an amazing singer Judith was and the tremendous talent and sound they had. What a voice Judith had (R.I.P.).
Ich bin nur noch zutiefst traurig und habe erst heute von ihrem Ableben 2022 erfahren. Was für eine wunderschöne Stimme und Persönlichkeit hat uns verlassen. Sie ist eine bleibende Erinnerung an meine Jugend. - Ruhe in Frieden für immer.
My favourite Seekers song because this was Judith Durham at her best - the sweetest voice in pop history? A national treasure - Australia's treasure, that is!
Yes, another beautiful Seekers song - simple words again, make it so powerful. Like "I'll never find another you" I can hardly sing it without crying. Judith Durham's velvety voice will remain forever.
Ended up myself crying as I hear the lyrics of this song now that Madam's Judith is no longer with us. I'm a 31-year old lad from the Philippines who supposed to be a fan of modern-day songs; but this group (The Seekers) indeed caught my heart after I have listened to their greatest hits "Georgy Girl", "I'll never find another you" and "The Carnival is over". Hate to hear the lyrics sang by Madam Judith. She had lived an awesome and amazing life, a very distinct voice that is uniquely hers; a very vibrant and joyous melody. My favorite Australian quartet will never be complete without her. Such respect and she''ll be badly, definitely and greatly missed. Rest in power from Manila!
The eyes are the windows to the soul. You look at Judith's eyes as she sings and you see grace, humility, beauty and sweetness. Today, what you see in young singers is emptiness and darkness. I am 54 and rediscovering real music and singers such as lovely Judith. Sweetness. God Bless.
It's true - groups of that era, like Abba and the Beatles and Queen and suchlike... they wrote SONGS - actual songs, with tunes and harmonies! Most modern signers these days just seems to throw together tuneless dirges that they sing in tired stoned-sounding voices... and mostly their "love songs" are about sex, rather than love and marriage. Classics are called classics for a reason. They were memorable.
@@DCLeadboot Now that's what I call the truth. Well said, my love. They just cannot write beautiful songs any more. Simply cannot understand why. There hasn't been a 'classic' for years.
This is a Russian folk song about the formidable chieftain Stepan Razin (as Robin Hood). Russians love to sing it when they gather at the table during the holiday.
Best you got to somewhere where they need water where there's fires .....just joking but it would help lol ,with life brings harsh realities like the death of a loved one ,i dont mean to be rude to you but just maybe a laugh can sometimes help a sorrow moment in time
This song was the favorite song of my late wife's father. He was Latvian, and although he usually wasn't fond of pop music he loved this song. The reason was that the melody is an old Russian folk song that he had known as a child in Latvia. He passed away in 1971, and my late wife in 2015. I have since remarried and moved from Australia to the Philippines, and now I introduce my Filipina wife to this wonderful song. It always reminds me that it's important to live in the moment. Time moves on, but we can love every moment of time.
My lovely dad died suddenly before Christmas. This is only song he talked about being played at his funeral. Through floods of tears, I listened to this song and Judith’s beautiful voice as my dads recessional funeral song yesterday. I can see now why it meant so much to him. It will always be a poignant song to me. RIP Dad 30.12.42 to 10.12.21
I'm an 82 year old male and this song has such a special meaning to me and still brings tears to my eyes. What a beautiful voice, it will never be stilled. Love you Judith, RIP.
That voice. It gives me goose bumps. Not only is it clear pronunciation but the way she hits those notes like an arrow in the gold every time. God bless you Judith. So pleased to hear you are fully recovered from your stroke.
i can't understand how every Seekers song on here has a number of thumbs down. even if this type of music is not for you, there is no denying the superb quality of a natural voice. no voice synthesizers, just basic instruments and talent.
I too can't understand this. Also the seekers music could evoke such a large range of emotions. If you listen to" Georgy Girl" it makes you feel light and cheerful. You can then compare that too "The Carnival is Over", that brings a tear t
+Sigrid Haldirsson My experience is different. This and a few other Seekers songs are among the first pieces of music I can remember hearing. They've kept me company on and off for half a century now.
Thank you Judith for all your beautiful music the carnival may be over but in our hearts you and your music will live on RIP Judith and thank you and may our lord keep you in is safe hands 💞
They played this song at my mates father's funeral.... Every time I hear it I get goose bumps. Exceptionally talented band from the 60s, Judith Durham had a beautiful voice and was a very attractive woman....
R.I.P Judith Durham . thank you for all the lovely songs ..as with a friend of mine who was a musician in a band .. your memorial will be in the music you gave us .. thank you ,
My dad used to sing this to my mum and now my dear dear father has been taken away so young. When will this so called god take the evil and leave the good to live long. RIP MY DEAR FATHER AND PLEASE LET ME LIVE TO BE AT LEAST HALF THE FATHER YOU WERE XXXX
@@philkalus5720 Don't be so stupid. She obviously has a magnificent voice but even so not every single person will appreciate it, and that doesn't make them evil, it just means they have different taste. Or is that not allowed in your world?
This song was played at my Grandpa's funeral when I was a kid and I haven't listened to it since that day, and upon hearing it again, I am in tears once again. Transported back to being a little boy. I miss my Grandpa..

You got that right! I've never heard or read anything bad about her personal lifestyle in 50+ years! She's a beauty inside and out with a voice from another dimension.
Well said John
And she actually sings beautifully - unlike these fake constructed divas we hear today with their pre recorded trash.
We’ll always have the joy of Judith’s voice though. What a stunning legacy!
Thank you to The Seekers for so many wonderful songs and memories. Vale, Judith.
Beautiful voice but even more important a Beautiful human being how we need people like her in the world today
@@brianvaughan2312 so very true!
@@heatherjay8802 true, the carnival really is of course, over, as we had suddenly, lost a true vocalist.
@@byronrobbins8834 she was definitely a “vocal treasure”!
Judith had a marvelous voice, clear and beautiful tones, glad we have so many recordings to remember her by, she may have passed but her voice remains.
What a wonderful voice 😍 and nobody else today gets close.
You are so correct about her voice
Hello Fiona, How are you doing?
Not even Kylie!?!?! 🤣
Voice of an angel
Absolutely, i remember this wonderful Australian group when i was a boy,i was 11 years old when this was sung.
My dad chose this to be played at his funeral. We did. Not a dry eye. Love you Daddy xxx
And me...It reminds me of leaving Singapore in the 60s. Life is a carnival...
Happy to be 100. A great song to go out to. You'll see him again some day. God Bless.
My dad whistled this song every morning for as long as I could remember so we played at his farewell service too x
I played this at my mom's memorial service. I plan to have it played at mine when the time comes with instructions to have a great party afterwards
David Smith Sorry for your loss.
A gorgeous voice that will carry on forever, one of Australia's greatest. RIP from Canada.
same here and also RIP Susan Jacks from The Poppy Family & Judith Durham from The Seekers, they'll be their last goodbyes
This song's melancholy refrain has always been a tear jerker; even more so since I heard the news of Judith passing away yesterday. I am sixty years old and the Seekers (particularly Judith's Chrystal clear voice) form some of my earliest musical memories. RIP lovely lady. Your voice will live on.
We will never see groups like this again 60’s bands have no equal
100% agree!
Original is the Russian song Дмитрия Садовникова, примерно 1880 …
G’day to Russia from Stephen in Australia Go the Sharks
@@stephennewcombe452 okay
a very ignorant, thick comment
She was one of the best female singers in the sixties, God bless you Judith.
My mum loved this song, we will play it at her funeral next week 😭❤
RIP mum
I am so sorry for your loss love from Australia

I was recently on holiday in Ireland and was completely unaware of Judith's passing until last night. R.I.P. Judith Durham 💔. We'll never find another you.
If ever there was an angel singing, this is that angel. God Bless
One of the most beautiful voices you will ever hear... sooo crystal clear... Beautiful woman as well
Down BOY! (and get in line DUDE! :) ....
I prefer Anna German's performance.
R. V. Datmir who is Anna German? The Seekers is definitely the best known version.
@@simonramsay6080 Best-known yes, but being best-known does not make anything the best. The Russian lyrics have much more power, and Anna German enhanced it greatly. Look her up. You will find her interesting at the very least.
I agree!
Wounded and hospitalised, in December 1966 in Aden after being mortared, 18 year old Soldier who's mother back in the Uk was a nurse and widow heard by telegram I was seriously wounded, pledged this song on BFPO radio......I have loved it and Judith ever since!!! Now 71 and still do....
Watched Empire Warriors last night - about Aden the Argylls and Northumberland fusiliers - you guys were awesome best wishes R
Richard Gray thanks Richard, I was 3 Royal Anglian Regt who were in the hotspot of Sheik Othman and Mansura, look up the battle of the mosque
hope you've "wised " your teapots lids not to do what you did. ( the bastards will make up a war, somewhere )
You responded to my message re The Carnival is Over Wounded. In hospital back in 66. You must have had your poor mother in knots! . With VE day just having past I felt it only right to respond. They certainly don't churn out decent songs nowadays. Look after yourself during this mad pandemic. Chela.x
Richard Gray I am still in touch with Brian harrington Spier, to this day he is now 78 and still a fit old soldier who received an MBE for his performance in ADEN. Cheers.
I think that Judith Durham was one of the most underated female singers she had a fabulous voice so easy and clear one of the best of her generation sadly missed
Such sad news. Judith's voice takes me back to my childhood. In our memories the carnival will never be over. ❤
Thank you Judith. May God bless.
As long as I can hear her voice and see her face old our young the carnival will never be over.
I'd never heard this song till my mums partner posted it on fb the day we lost her, and I think I'm for it because it is such a beautiful song, we had it at her funeral as 1 of her songs, it'll be 4 yrs on the 29/11/24 and it never gets easier, r.i.p mumma, 21/03/57 29/11_2020..
My wonderful father died on my 15th birthday on the 10th April 1964. I sang the Seekers songs accompanied by my accordion from the age of 16. My best were Morningtown Ride and The Carnival is over. I am 75 now and tomorrow I will take down my accordion ans see how I do. I will teach my 6 year old grandson Abe Morningtown Ride as its surely a little child's song under the blankets. God rest u Judith.
I heard a request for this on late night radio from an old man because 'this cancer has just about got me '. Wow
I'll never listen to this song in the same way again. RIP old man. You requested the best.
+david wildgust .......Good luck, David. I might have this at mine too.

That's the spirit Davy lad. Fight the good fight
+david wildgust Stay strong my friend. I say a prayer for you for strength through your ordeal. God bless.
God bless my friend.
+david wildgust it ain't over 'till it's over David......hope you have years of listening to wonderful music......
What a beautiful voice Judith has, so underrated. One of the best voices of all time.
Oh god your SO SO RIGHT.
"Underrated"? By who? Never in a million years - this band were, and still are, world renowned.
@@Turrican60 You're right, you can't underrate awesomeness.
Best voice ever by a million miles
The best female voice I have ever heard, couldn't get any better
My husband absolutely loved Judith's voice. Now he is gone too and "There Will Never Be Another YOu" was always my song to him.
he is not gone, only waiting there for you
Judy is petite,beautiful,sings like an angel.Old songs are the best,agree folks.
We heartily agree ♥️
🎙️🥰🇯🇲🏴🕊️🔥✝️
apparently she is not that small, all the guys are enormous
Where have you heard an angel sing before? They only sing to God and Jesus Christ in Heaven. They are perfect, we are not.
Agree
It was my mum's funeral this morning and this has always been one of her most favourite songs. She loved Judith and the Seekers. So rightfully we played it in memory of her. No better song for my wonderful mum xxx
cray1875 sorry to read about your loss
cray1875 I am so sorry for your loss and may your Mum RIP.This is such a beautiful,song.
@@PabloPablo-xv4cd Thank you :-)
@@edwardandrew4107 Thank you for the kind words :-)
So sorry for your loss. My late brother loved Seekers and this song
I first heard this song when I was 5 years old in 1965 in Malaysia. At that time, I never knew who the singers were. Today I heard it again when I am 59 years old. I was moved to tears. But I did not want to keep this beautiful memory to myself, so I invited my daughter Ruth (18 years) to listen to this song. I told her my childhood story, growing up and listening to this song. When she heard it, she started to cry as well. And we both hugged each other and cried. We were amazed at Judith's voice, the male accompaniments and the unforgettable lyrics. So touching.
what a beautiful story, nearly brought me to tears, take care both of you.
ORIGINAL IS THE RUSSIAN SONG “ ИЗ ЗА ОСТРОВА НА СТРЕЖЕНЬ», 1880 год…
It`s been a while since I`ve hear this for a while Peter, and made me fill up listening to it too. So many memories it brought up, from growing up with my beloved parent`s.
I've always loved this song ever since I was a child and Judith Durham's stunning voice made it even more beautiful. R.I.P. Judith Durham. ❤
What a beautiful lady, she has a voice like an angel
And a nice face. For an Australian.
I bet you never look in a mirror.
ha..ha..ha.. you are hilarious!!!
why the hate?
pix046 You're an idiot. What a stupid post. Shame on you.
One of the most beautiful songs ever and Judith sings it beautifully
agreed x
Lucky enough to see the Seekers at Longleat House in the mid sixties and met them backstage after their performance. Such a friendly group of people. Judith Durham had a magnificent voice. A truly wonderful lady.
A very sad moment for me personally as you are my favourite female singer , you sang my favourite song, you passed away on my birthday (I was in hospital) we met back in 1967 an Angel was mentioned you were then you are now and always will be , The Carnival is over but your journey will never end. RIP Judith.
Beautiful comment - Judith’s second birth was your birthday….
@@SStone-dm7es nods my head , thank you.
Love this song I'm 67 now another small part of my life sadly gone but never forgotten rip Judith your music will live forever
R.I.P. Judith, thanks for all the wonderful memories you gave to all Australians. Your beautiful voice will live on. 💔
Nothing seems big enough to describe this wonderful lady’s talent and subsequent music career.
A sad day for Australia and the wider music loving World.
Bless you Judith Durham.
Dear Judith ... It is WE who will love you till we die.
No other sound can transport me back into the 1960s as do the Seekers. Judith Durham with her incredible voice together with great backing play and rhythm. Life seemed simpler then, and days full of happiness.
My mother (Sadly passed) loved the Seekers and while they were not cool to me then, I have come to realise what an amazing singer Judith was and the tremendous talent and sound they had.
What a voice Judith had (R.I.P.).
Judith Durham - a voice like no other - "I'll Never Find Another You" can bring tears listening to the perfection.
You'll never find another Judith Durham!

Katy Perry crap does not compare to nice songs like these.
Ich bin nur noch zutiefst traurig und habe erst heute von ihrem Ableben 2022 erfahren. Was für eine wunderschöne Stimme und Persönlichkeit hat uns verlassen. Sie ist eine bleibende Erinnerung an meine Jugend. - Ruhe in Frieden für immer.
My favourite Seekers song because this was Judith Durham at her best - the sweetest voice in pop history? A national treasure - Australia's treasure, that is!
She always seems at her best because singing comes so natural like a song bird
Yes, it's my favourite too .... I spite of the tears I inevitable she'd when listening to it !!
R.I.P. Judith, a fantastic voice that will live on.
What a beautiful song and voice. There’s no musicianship like this group anymore.
Yes, another beautiful Seekers song - simple words again, make it so powerful. Like "I'll never find another you" I can hardly sing it without crying. Judith Durham's velvety voice will remain forever.
Ended up myself crying as I hear the lyrics of this song now that Madam's Judith is no longer with us. I'm a 31-year old lad from the Philippines who supposed to be a fan of modern-day songs; but this group (The Seekers) indeed caught my heart after I have listened to their greatest hits "Georgy Girl", "I'll never find another you" and "The Carnival is over". Hate to hear the lyrics sang by Madam Judith. She had lived an awesome and amazing life, a very distinct voice that is uniquely hers; a very vibrant and joyous melody. My favorite Australian quartet will never be complete without her. Such respect and she''ll be badly, definitely and greatly missed. Rest in power from Manila!
Well said. You summed up Judith and the Seekers quite beautifully. Thank you, xx Peter S
The eyes are the windows to the soul. You look at Judith's eyes as she sings and you see grace, humility, beauty and sweetness. Today, what you see in young singers is emptiness and darkness.
I am 54 and rediscovering real music and singers such as lovely Judith.
Sweetness. God Bless.
Jake Toms Please listen to Amira Willighagen. You will thank me.
pity the seekers plagiarised it instead of writing it themselves-it is originally from Russia
It's true - groups of that era, like Abba and the Beatles and Queen and suchlike... they wrote SONGS - actual songs, with tunes and harmonies!
Most modern signers these days just seems to throw together tuneless dirges that they sing in tired stoned-sounding voices... and mostly their "love songs" are about sex, rather than love and marriage.
Classics are called classics for a reason. They were memorable.
@@DCLeadboot Now that's what I call the truth. Well said, my love. They just cannot write beautiful songs any more. Simply cannot understand why. There hasn't been a 'classic' for years.
@@chrisduckett5496: What does it matter from whence a good message comes?
I was 9 when this song was released. I still recall the lurch of sadness when I heard the Seekers were disbanding.
She was a favourite of my father's and just playing it now I'm in floods of tears. Bitter sweet memories.
This is a Russian folk song about the formidable chieftain Stepan Razin (as Robin Hood). Russians love to sing it when they gather at the table during the holiday.
Best you got to somewhere where they need water where there's fires .....just joking but it would help lol ,with life brings harsh realities like the death of a loved one ,i dont mean to be rude to you but just maybe a laugh can sometimes help a sorrow moment in time
This song was the favorite song of my late wife's father. He was Latvian, and although he usually wasn't fond of pop music he loved this song. The reason was that the melody is an old Russian folk song that he had known as a child in Latvia. He passed away in 1971, and my late wife in 2015. I have since remarried and moved from Australia to the Philippines, and now I introduce my Filipina wife to this wonderful song. It always reminds me that it's important to live in the moment. Time moves on, but we can love every moment of time.
My lovely dad died suddenly before Christmas. This is only song he talked about being played at his funeral. Through floods of tears, I listened to this song and Judith’s beautiful voice as my dads recessional funeral song yesterday. I can see now why it meant so much to him. It will always be a poignant song to me. RIP Dad 30.12.42 to 10.12.21
so sorry tula to hear of your loss one day you will be reunited with your dad i went to heaven when 13'amd returned so know its true
I'm an 82 year old male and this song has such a special meaning to me and still brings tears to my eyes. What a beautiful voice, it will never be stilled. Love you Judith, RIP.
She had such a great voice! Her music was part of my youth. May she rest in peace.💜🙏

That voice. It gives me goose bumps. Not only is it clear pronunciation but the way she hits those notes like an arrow in the gold every time. God bless you Judith. So pleased to hear you are fully recovered from your stroke.
ditto. my goosebumps raised upon hearing the intro. such a magical voice.
Adrian Larkins her voice is brilliant
Adrian Larki
Heavenly.
Ms Durham's voice is crystal clear but it took me (and a few others) a long time to work out the names Pierrot and Columbine!!!
i can't understand how every Seekers song on here has a number of thumbs down. even if this type of music is not for you, there is no denying the superb quality of a natural voice. no voice synthesizers, just basic instruments and talent.
There are always trolls lurking.
Absolutely tremendous tunes, take me back to when I was a kid in the 60s, could never forget these times❤❤❤
Karen Carpenter fans can be pretty vicious.
I too can't understand this. Also the seekers music could evoke such a large range of emotions. If you listen to" Georgy Girl" it makes you feel light and cheerful. You can then compare that too "The Carnival is Over", that brings a tear t
We said goodbye to my mother eight years ago to this song. What had special meaning then has even more meaning now. RIP Judith.
Wow. I had to live my whole life to be old enough to appreciate this.
never meant nowt to me as a younger person, now at 51 I find it captivating!!
+Sigrid Haldirsson My experience is different. This and a few other Seekers songs are among the first pieces of music I can remember hearing. They've kept me company on and off for half a century now.
ah, if only all youth was like you

Tell that to Paganini!
This song by Judith has been on my car music system for as long as I can remember.

Thank you Judith for all your beautiful music the carnival may be over but in our hearts you and your music will live on RIP Judith and thank you and may our lord keep you in is safe hands 💞
The Carnival is truly over. RIP beautiful Judith
not over, just elsewhere and going on, sure
They played this song at my mates father's funeral.... Every time I hear it I get goose bumps. Exceptionally talented band from the 60s, Judith Durham had a beautiful voice and was a very attractive woman....
hard to beat the voice of Judith Durham..............beautiful
+tommyau2006 She is a Bard, a Skald in Nordic parlance. She could sing the pants off a King.
R.I.P Judith Durham . thank you for all the lovely songs ..as with a friend of mine who was a musician in a band .. your memorial will be in the music you gave us .. thank you ,
My dad used to sing this to my mum and now my dear dear father has been taken away so young. When will this so called god take the evil and leave the good to live long.
RIP MY DEAR FATHER AND PLEASE LET ME LIVE TO BE AT LEAST HALF THE FATHER YOU WERE XXXX
This is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. I’ve loved this song for so many years.

@@philkalus5720 Don't be so stupid. She obviously has a magnificent voice but even so not every single person will appreciate it, and that doesn't make them evil, it just means they have different taste. Or is that not allowed in your world?
nobody I know I can tell you that! what a doll... beautiful harmony here as well.
This song was played at my Grandpa's funeral when I was a kid and I haven't listened to it since that day, and upon hearing it again, I am in tears once again. Transported back to being a little boy. I miss my Grandpa..
Judith has such a voice which cannot be mistaken for any other voice, just like Karen Carpenter's voice , Iconic artists.
Just like Frida from ABBA,wish I had christopher lloyd time machine in back to the future .
Great comment and so true
You've got RUclips which is more than most people have had :)
