my favourite seekers song of them all,the sound that comes out of judiths mouth is out of this world,never be another voice as beautiful as this as long as the earth exists,so loving so tender so magical,love you forever judith xxx
I have always really liked this song from the first time I heard it back in the mid 1960's. Of course like many others I absolutely love Judith's voice. Its so clear, strong and she really carries the song. Its just to bad we are all getting old.
Watching the Sydney Christmas show tonight, Judith Durham from the Seekers sang that lovely song tonight, great Australian talent here, it has bought back so many memories..
I suppose it's a bit sad but it was the first record I bought......could have been the Stones or the Beatles or......but no it was this - great to see and hear it again...
this is my favourite seekers song of all time, watch judith sing it on puffing billy with the children joining in not knowing in their innocence that they are singing with a WORLD SUPERSTAR, fabulous judith.xxx
I saw Judith in concert a few years ago, she was incredible. Sounded just the same as i remember when i was 6yrs old ...meeting her after was just fab. she gave me a lovely hug, such a sweet person. Amazing to think she was born with a lung deformity, it certainly didn't affect her ability to sing as she does. She's a legend!! x
they sing beautifully together. I was going to say they are the Peter, Paul and Mary of Australia--but that would just be the mold--the Seekers is a folk essence to what they sing and yet they make it their own.
We played this at my sisters funeral yesterday 7/12/11. My sister was always singing this song from a young child right up till she died aged only 50. So this song holds a special pace in my heart.
i would love to add a comment to this beautiful song and of course to the gorgeous judith durham,but folks you have already said all there is to say, tears are mingling with the ink, god bless xxx
This beautiful song brings back so many memories. I was about 12 years old when this song was popular. It reminds me of my sweet cat "Peanut Butter" who died around that time. I miss you, P.B., and this song will always keep you in my heart forever.
This is my 10 year old daughter's favourite song for me to sing to her when I tuck her in. I'm 45 and my Mom used to sing this song as well as "The Pony Man" by Gordon Lightfoot when she tucked me in. I think it's great that these classic songs are enjoyed by our children today.
Estimated friend, if you want to listen again this song and an endless number of successes of the love I suggest you to visit Radio MUSICA PARA MIMOS - looks for his direction URL in Google ( search Musica para Mimos in Google)-. best romantic music of all the times in Internet, is great, is very good ...!!!
Guess this has a worldwide audience but wouldn't it be wonderful for all of us who remember this song and similar ones of that decade to have a live concert featuring all the songs to transport us back - if only for a few hours. I will leave you with that thought.
@MsCrispybacon You see,many come back here every night to see and listen and take a little trip back.These videos are their time machine.We can loose a lot of things in life but our good memories we keep for ever.
judith durham must have had one of the greatest voices of all time,TRULY FABULOUS,thanks judith, will never forget you, loved you then love you now xxx.
@MsCrispybacon I agree. I would love to be transported back to the time I remember being in love with Judith and captured by the Seekers songs. It was a special time for me - I was impressionable, idealistic, full of hope, idealism and ambition. Time has altered some of those ideals - not to say any are diminished - just my realization of my ability to achieve some of them... But I still dream - largely based on the thoughts generated by those lyrics so long ago. Thanks Proculled
I play this song with my grand daughter and two grandsons aged 7, 4 and 2. They love it. The joy and happiness I see in their faces is priceless. Thank you!
I remember this from my youth, 8 at the time. This brings back so many happy memories I only hope my kids will have the same wonderful memories. Brings tear's to my eyes, amazing what music can do,
I cry every time I hear this song it reminds me of my mom she died when I was 13 and we used to listen to this song on wowo radio fort wanye ind, and it makes me miss her more then I already do!
This song has been one I have always remembered as my granddad used to sing to me when I was little and now I have a little boy who is 9 weeks old who I sing it to love you pops will never forget you xxx
I loved the Seekers and still do, but it was tough on Judith Durham, a highly accomplished musician and a gifted jazz singer, always to be stuck with simple and undemanding songs. It's like asking a Formula 1 driver to spend his life as a driving instructor. And she got lumbered with this image of wholesome purity. Hardly suprising she felt the need to move on.
Beautiful song, I can never listen to it without tears of both joy and sadness; the Seekers were my dad's favourite group and my sisters and I always cry when we hear this, at it reminds us of him and that he's gone. We were blessed to have the mum and dad that we had, we will love them always. Thanks for posting. x
This song brings me to my knees...somehow I had forgotten this song, but remember I used to sing this song to cheer myself up when my father would beat my mom up.
Like most of the other respondents- this brings back fantastic memories from my childhood. Judith Durham had the most beautiful voice! She could bring magic to any song!

I used to sing this to my son when he were a child. My mum used to sing this to me and my brothers when we were kids. I still fancy Judith too, My name is Zoran. so I am not afraid of being outed on this. How about it Judy ?

Sitting here with a grin so wide I could eat toast sideways. I loved their songs as a child in the 60s but never knew they were all by The Seekers. Puff The Magic Dragon, Morningtown Ride, Georgy Girl, World of Our Own etc. Imagine my joy when my 11 year old daughter started playing this on her flute as they had been learning it at school. Being a dad, or a big kid, just doesn't get better. Going to listen to The Seekers well into the early hours.
This song bring tears to my eyes every time.... I tried to sing it to my grand-children in Wellington. Thank you Judith and the boys. You will never be forgotten.
Great memories of the 1960's - Sunday lunch on the go as this was playing on Family Favorites. Mum & Dad now sadly gone, but this will live with me forever.
This is my grandsons (2 years old) favorite song. He sings along with Judith. .Me I was in love with Judith forever. A beautiful song and a beautiful woman.
Wow, this is nice. First time to see the band and its members performing the song. I recall listening to this tune in pre-school. Teachers would play it on a sturdy portable radio cassette recorder (hi tech stuff back in 90's) when it was nap time :).
Sang this to my daughter and son as they were growing up in England 52 years ago. Now of course I sing it to my grandchildren, together with Puff the Magic Dragon, except now that they are 3 and 5, they realize I dont have the best voice so they only allow me to sing a verse and then beg me to stop ;-(
@etransform Sorry to intrude but I'm on a sentimental bender and can't believe the common experiences that people share as far apart as England and Canada. I've sung Morningtown as a lullaby to my daughter and granddaughters and made both laugh outrageously trying to sing Puff out of tune. I hope they remember one day and best to you stranger.
Sang this to my daughter and son as they were growing up in England 56 years ago. Now of course I sing it to my grandchildren, together with Puff the Magic Dragon, except now that they are 3 and 5, they realize I dont have the best voice so they only allow me to sing a verse and then beg me to stop ;-(
I bought a Seeker's album for Georgy Girl when I was about 14 and Morning Town was one of the tracks. I sang it (off key) to my daughter as a lullaby, she sings it as a lullaby to my granddaughters. Guess that's how lovely traditions get started.

Very under appreciated then and now, except for videos like this, forgotten. I wish more folks saw this and so many others. Thanks to all posters of the tunes they luv.
When we wake up to the truth of life, inspired music like this will emerge and flourish again, and all the uninspired crap that people call "music" these days will fade away and be forgotten.

My mum used to sing this to me when I was little to get me to sleep. Some of the best childhood memories I have :'). Now when I listen to this song it makes me emotional because it's such a beautiful, sweet song. :) <3
My mother sang my brother and me to sleep with this song ... now my brother's 3 year old son is being sung to sleep with it - and at any time of the day or night, he will start singing it at the top of his voice :)
Had this song on my 'All aboard' LP never liked it when i was a child but it conjures some amazing memories from happy times. I was born 1979 so must've listened to this in the early 80's, I feel super privileged to have been around during LP's then tapes then CD's then MP3's, there is still a certain quality of sound that only comes from listening to LP's
@Molliiful So did mine and so still do I feel. The sad thing is that I buried my mother in February last year. I think this is the first time since I've listened to this song. I want my mother back, please!
@Molliiful Join the club! It's raining hard where my train's riding at the moment and I still get an amazing sense of being protected when I hear this. We're on our way to Morningtown.
There is something magical about the voice and presence of Judith Durham. Tremendous harmony, very upbeat positive musical experience. No doubt a legendary band that has not gotten the proper recognition for their greatness.
@remitablechair I have ... not back in the 60's, but in the late 90's ... and they are reforming for a very special tour this year - with Andre Rieu :) Tickets for that would be like gold!!
I had completely forgotten about this song. A wave of nostalgia hit like a ton of bricks. Tears in my eyes. Loved The Seekers. They are the best. Thanks for the great post.
I love so many songs and so many different types of music. But few songs mean as much or touch me like this one. For some reason it has been a favorite since I first heard it back in the 1960's. And I can never hear it and never have a smile. Perfection
I love so many songs and so many different types of music. But few songs mean as much or touch me like this one. For some reason it has been a favorite since I first heard it back in the 1960's. And I can never hear it and never have a smile. Perfection
Our teacher Mrs Scott had a record player in 1966 and would bring it in school for us to listen to as we worked and this was one of her favourite songs. Always remember her very long legs and I was 8 years old
I remember recording this final concert on a reel to reel recorder, tape long lost,so thank you whoever put this up, the whole concert must be here . We were so sad that they were breaking up. Just found Judith singing that Charley Chaplin song, she makes Petula sound very affected.
A marvellous song sung by a stunning beauty and backed by a fabulous trio. Don't we all miss the best era for music? Please give me back to me my teenage years of the 60's.
The SEEKERS got lumped in with that 'Hullaballoo' crew, meanwhile they were really just as awesome as the Beatles, if not more so. Way into harmonies, driving song structure and she is just a fine fine superfine lass- i mean, lissen to their WORLD OF OUR OWN and try not to stop from feeling all emotionally optimistic if only for a moment. SEEK? I mean do they ever!
I can't believe how much I love this song and sing it all the time FIFTY YEARS LATER. I first heard it live at the Seekers concert in London in 1966 while I was doing my Masters degree at Imperial College London Univ. This represented such a happy and uncomplicated time to me epitomized by their music - love all their songs
I loved this song when I was a little girl and still love it. There is a magic about this song and Judith and the rest of the Seekers make it that way. Like many people think that the music these days lack substance, I can tolerate so much of the "music" today but only in small doses. Shame that the kids these days will never know what life was like back in the 60's, 70's life was so much easier and calmer now it is just anger and hatred and horrid music..
I remember when i first heard this song, It was one of my grandfathers and dads favorites. IT always makes me think of them. May grandad RIP <3

It's amazing how this 43 year old song is so much more meaningful than everything modern artists can put out. A good old classic :).

Wow, this is nice. First time to see the band and its members performing the song. I recall listening to this tune in pre-school. Teachers would play it on a sturdy portable radio cassette recorder (hi tech stuff back in 90's) when it was nap time :).

Sang this to my daughter and son as they were growing up in England 52 years ago. Now of course I sing it to my grandchildren, together with Puff the Magic Dragon, except now that they are 3 and 5, they realize I dont have the best voice so they only allow me to sing a verse and then beg me to stop ;-(

@etransform Sorry to intrude but I'm on a sentimental bender and can't believe the common experiences that people share as far apart as England and Canada. I've sung Morningtown as a lullaby to my daughter and granddaughters and made both laugh outrageously trying to sing Puff out of tune. I hope they remember one day and best to you stranger.

I bought a Seeker's album for Georgy Girl when I was about 14 and Morning Town was one of the tracks. I sang it (off key) to my daughter as a lullaby, she sings it as a lullaby to my granddaughters. Guess that's how lovely traditions get started.

Just walked half the mornington track last weekend. It's so abandoned.

Had this song on my 'All aboard' LP never liked it when i was a child but it conjures some amazing memories from happy times. I was born 1979 so must've listened to this in the early 80's, I feel super privileged to have been around during LP's then tapes then CD's then MP3's, there is still a certain quality of sound that only comes from listening to LP's

Judith Durham was perhaps the Karen Carpenter of the black and white era.

There is something magical about the voice and presence of Judith Durham. Tremendous harmony, very upbeat positive musical experience. No doubt a legendary band that has not gotten the proper recognition for their greatness.

I love so many songs and so many different types of music. But few songs mean as much or touch me like this one. For some reason it has been a favorite since I first heard it back in the 1960's. And I can never hear it and never have a smile. Perfection

The SEEKERS got lumped in with that 'Hullaballoo' crew, meanwhile they were really just as awesome as the Beatles, if not more so. Way into harmonies, driving song structure and she is just a fine fine superfine lass- i mean, lissen to their WORLD OF OUR OWN and try not to stop from feeling all emotionally optimistic if only for a moment. SEEK? I mean do they ever!

I can't believe how much I love this song and sing it all the time FIFTY YEARS LATER. I first heard it live at the Seekers concert in London in 1966 while I was doing my Masters degree at Imperial College London Univ. This represented such a happy and uncomplicated time to me epitomized by their music - love all their songs
etransform 9 months ago
I loved this song when I was a little girl and still love it. There is a magic about this song and Judith and the rest of the Seekers make it that way. Like many people think that the music these days lack substance, I can tolerate so much of the "music" today but only in small doses. Shame that the kids these days will never know what life was like back in the 60's, 70's life was so much easier and calmer now it is just anger and hatred and horrid music..
