Seasons In The Sun - Terry Jacks 1974

[nickyluvsrusty]

I love this song

[dancat4]

This is one of the songs that when you hear it on the radio you truly feel it. It's songs like this that makes me proud of the generation I grew up in and not today's music.

[gnieoalo92]

Kurt Cobain brought me here, thanks Kurt.

[GetThyDome]

I remember being only four years old when I first heard this song. That was back in 1997. I was always a quiet baby, but when I finally started speaking, these song lyrics were among my first words. By the time I was five, I had this song memorized and sung along to it all day, always demanding it be played while on a car ride. To this day, this remains one of my favorite songs, along with American Pie and I Got You Babe. I'm so glad I grew up with this music.

[legoman32777]

sad song but i still love it my favourite song

[priiest1]

i still wonder,how can america be a techno state , and still send their boys in wars without questions????

[Teiji89]

This is a good song to listen to when you are depressed 

[milesj1991]

kurt cobains fav song lol

[amozoness6]

@milesj1991 lol that's funny lol ha lol

[DJC64]

My Uncle passed away in 75. He had a daughter, my cousin, Michelle. It makes me cry just thinking about it.

[ToLoveJesusForever]

@DJC64 I wish You and Michelle would understand why it happened. So You would not have to cry.

[HenryHins]

[dirtbikefox650]

I feel so sorry about the loss of a good friend or familymember.Actually i was a black sheep in the family too.I wish i could apologize to my dear departed,furthermore i miss them dearly as well as the good old times like the simple,easy and freedom filled 70`s.I would do everything to go back to these days.Have my Peugeot 504 again and listen to the disco stuff or ride my dirtbike and sing this song along my ride and most of all be free in a simple world.

[brandon8222]

This song is going to play on my funeral

[anns1961]

I grew up loving this song and still do

[dirtbikefox650]

Weird when i read fuguitive season 2 ,i somehow connected it with a song -yeah seasons in the sun- so listened it for the first time carefully and thoroughly.Man did it ever bring back memories of my childhood in belgium.I heard it everywhere even in my schoolbus but i was wondering why is he singing: its hard to die and pray for me,so i figured he is going the army now and why would someone sing about death and kept me wondering until now.I cried and cried and feel so sorry.Life is so temporary

[MsIsabel4]

I really liked this song in my freshman yr of high school and all my so-called friends thought i was a freak by liking it...well years later it all makes sense...life is precious.

[1hardworker1]

I have always loved this song.....it never became clear until last year the meaning......last year i lost my dad and brother......still f'ing grieving...should not listen to it... but i am sadly drawn to this song..................

[Lefemenikita]

@1hardworker1 I'm so sorry for your loss.I lost my dad this month. I sympathize...crying now.

[1hardworker1]

@Lefemenikita I'm sorry to hear about your father. I know it's agony..

[heleneohanlon]

i was helping my sister getting her shit ogether as she was dying from pancreatic cancer, i was in the kitchen, and sadly tis popped on the "radio" yes a radio..omg broke my heart and still does..........

[snakkeonps3]

i like nirvana's version better. sorry! thats an opinion not a fact! so im not right or wrong. i just think nirvana put a more depressing spin on it. but i think this is much more artistic and over all a "better song" i still own the 45

[ziks52]

Pesma je sve objasnila !!! Drustvo volim vas !!!

[rasmusic63]

i was eleven years old when this song was no 1 .And one of my best friends had just died of cancer he was only 13 this song realy hit it on the emotional button i cried and cried .

[froo13]

this song schools chuck norris.I SAID IT!

[01mevans]

One of my first songs as in introduction to rocn-n-roll when I was 8/9. Where would music be without some of these classics?!!

[froo13]

@01mevans Im 10 years old,i prefer Jack FM rather then "The Beat 94.5'' All you get in my CRAPPY generation is "Shaaaawty i wanna love you tonight,give me kisses baby baby baby ohhhhhhh." (dont get me wrong i like jb but that song is crap) EVERYTIME i hear this song i cant help but to cry,the tears come FLOODING out. When i grow up i want to be a rock n roll artist,im going to bring the 80's back!!!!

[LerfaMu1]

@froo13 Good For You,Kid! I was exactly 10 yrs old when this song came out! I was just going to write about it but then i read ur post & so my reply 2U was prob. meant 2B

Kurt Cobains favorite song, no kidding!

[froo13]

it also remindes me of mytwin brother who i never met. he had IDS,i love him even though we never met. we were both pre mature. i love you Mathew <3

[froo13]

I CANT STOP CRYING! this song remindes me of my dog that ran away when i was 5 :( my dad left the back gate open,a lady told she was probably dead. she never came back. RIP daisy ;(

[daveimme58]

This is one of my 15 yr old daughter's fav song that her daddy likes.....

[mrgeorge457d]

@Lori123456ful Yea me to ,my best friend in 4th grade

[Wolfen443]

It was & still is a great song, the sad lyrics contradidct the happy music so well. An amazing song like this one could never be made today or made well.

[meryenn58]

Nagyon-nagyon régóta kerestem, de most már teljes az örömöm. Köszönöm szépen. :)

[tumtumtumify]

Fantastic...

[JohnGLewis1964]

Sounds like something out of Ecclesiastes.

[mrk70tut]

i have'nt heard this song in years

[TONYSPURSMAN]

this song remind me of when i was at school the year my mum died and the year i met a girl called Karen

[aruterify]

I remember them playing this at the end of Mass when I was a kid in the 70's at St. Rita's in North Dallas.

[TheManic1965]

this is 1 of my funeral songs

[JohnGLewis1964]

@TheManic1965 Nice idea...

[peppervel]

never get tired of listening to this song.... even if it's been more than 30years!!!!

[Alliancelane]

so many years I've been listening to this

[KTB0528]

I've listened this song (westlife version) since i'm in grade 5, now i'm working... thinking of my childhood moments :-)

[Wtrackerman]

I was 8 years old when this was released.

[SuperDoodiegirl]

THIS SONG BRINGS UP MEMORIES, I ALWAYS LOVED THIS SONG ..

[MrCrumpdaddy68]

What a blast from the past! The memories flowed like water. I was but a kid, yet I remember it like yesterday. What a simpler time in life it was. damn I wish I could go back in time!

[hankbob2000]

Apparently he didn't die, but he did get a divorce.

[boustophedron]

@hankbob2000 isn't it almost a death?

[ionutzup]

chill song...

[hankbob2000]

After almost 40 years I still don't know if it's about a terminal illness or suicide.

[scouserla1]

@hankbob2000 i was told at the time he was diagnosed with cancer & had months to live?

[holdempoker95]

@hankbob2000 Its about growing old and facing death

[George6360]

@holdempoker95 Death or chance of death yes, going to war, terminal illness,old age, suicide or even prison would fit . I think the fact that the reason is never stated makes this song even more powerful.

[Rockwaymtnmon]

Hes a good man,we know him personely,he did the music in my grandmas video,an dont call me liar.

[bluefire199]

@Rockwaymtnmon Fucking lying piece of shit!!!!!!!!!

[MEGABOINK65]

233 dislike dont have taste.

[Despa015]

This is the best song ever written and sung !

[SandraFromSweden]

@MrHighFRUCTOSE Many hugs from sweden dear..

[stickitupyourasteric]

[shorisae]

[taylormyhero1239]

The little one Michelle part is soo sadddd =(

[truan007]

i feel this song to sad

[Laura2kii8]

This is kurt cobains favourite song

[katotheother]

But, why is he dying? A little exposition would be nice here.

[lkwjs509]

When this song came out i lost two friends, one died of cancer at the age of 13 and another at the age of 19. so to some of us this song means sooo much.....THANKS

[Chubachus]

nirvana version is better duh

[SubsFree4]

Allways liked this song and can remember listening to it on the radio with my mum and dad, This is the song I want played when i die :)

[gingawho1]

To the Nirvana no brain..... this version by Terry Jacks sold more than 10million copies, one of very few.

Nirvana - who?

[lexieTW]

@gingawho1 And how many of those copies were sold after Kurt Cobain said it was his favourite song....quite a few I believe.

[Enchantment37]

"Seasons in the Sun" is an English-language adaptation of the song Le Moribond by Belgian singer-songwriter Jacques Brel with lyrics by American singer-poet Rod McKuen.

[drthrottle]

Dear Ponsie, you are not aware of how big this song was when it came out...I am a reasonably big Nirvana fan, and had no idea they sang it, but I can remember growing up , pretty young at the time, and heard this song many times every day on the radio..for a long time ..

[04mosroc]

remember the nights only am radio?

[ojmccaf63]

I liked the Nirvana version oddly enough!!

[Ponsle]

Kurt Cobain made this song famous. Kurt would be responsible for 5 million of these views. That's the only reason I viewed it :p I love the way Nirvana covered it:)

[mac195000]

"Kurt Cobain made this song famous."

@Ponsle This song sold more than 10 million copies worldwide in 1974. With the possible exception of "Smells Like Teen Spirit," it is more well-known than anything ever penned by Cobain.

[hbultri]

I used to sing this song in my poor english, when I was 12 or 13 y.o., and lived in Argentina. Never thought i would ear it again... Same for Soap (I use it) by David Gates... Thanks folks, for share this old songs...

[MultiJackieB]

I loved this version. It was released the year I started my nursing career.

[rawdog42]

@MultiJackieB and thats relative how ??? .......



[TheBigpapadon]

i remember this one very well, it was a bit hit when we finally found out one of my cousins was not coming back from vietnam, he had been MIA for years......

[Mr420anonymous]

good song. I had no idea that Terry Jacks lived near me. I was at my local pool recently and I saw him swimming laps next to me. kid you not

[nicklebackfan]

This is a sad song that is beautiful at the same time. It is one of those rare sad songs that doesn't always leave you sad and crying.

[terrylrt1]

7th grade, and one of the most beautiful girls i'd ever seen. used to hear this song almost everyday riding on the bus to and from school while sitting next to her. Hi Tracy - hope u are doing great.

[CombatArchery]

Kent ott what ever happend to you ...all those good times in walla walla..

[sbeau77]

first song I ever liked!! wuz only 4 at the time didnt know wut it meant then? do now lmao

[Ancient1903]

This would be my suicide song...

[ludinmaclou]

@Ancient1903wreck head,dont be talking like that,its mine lol 

[metalrod23]

@Ancient1903 I'm not killin' myself for nobody or nuthin'.........I love myself too much.

[juliano66]

..we had joy we had fun we we're streaking in the sun but the cops got their guns so they shot us in the buns! (this was parody us kids came up with '77)

[Time71Team]

@theguywithoutafoot Thanks for sharing that with us. Now everytime i listen to this i will hear your version running through my head.

[metalrod23]

@juliano66 Now thats funny.

[caxtonman]

@juliano66 Our version was: "we had joy we had fun flicking bogeys at the sun, but the sun was too hot and turned it in to snot!" at about the same time as you.

[the3aremine1]

@juliano66 ours was we had joy we had fun flickng bogeys at the sun but the sun was too hot and it turned it into snot - lol love the way kids change words to songs

[PITOLOCOYPIPILA]

@mazdatobbe: how can it be a child? It clearly says "too much wine.... Wonder how I got along...

[xMOBxSweetHeart]

This song is so great but it makes me so sad. It was my Grandpa's favourite song but he's gone now. this song will always remind me of him. <3

[idiotzrule]

Number one the day I was born I just found out =]

[bigbear001able]

what a great song,whatever happened to ballads with meaning?..don't write them like this anymore what a crying shame...

[Lzxt22]

that's the really music x all the season

[wescoaster62]

looooove this song......just brings me back to a simpler time....miss it.....

[soykk1995]

I like to listen to this song around this time of year. My dad died in March of 1997 and I like to think he would have dedicated this song to me before he died. My first name is Michele.

[romanosono1]

wonderful!

[wesleync]

I used to like this song, that is untill I read a book about a father and 3 sons , The father was an alcholic and him with his 2 oldest sons killed the youngest son. In the book the middle son recalls how the youngest son liked this song and it was playing over and over in his head as he watched his older brother kill his younger brother. Since I read that book which is a true story I have not enjoyed this song the way I used to.

[buffyhail]

@wesleync Don't get affected mate.. Cheeeeeeeerss...

[pfromri]

Beautiful memories.

[skipstreet]

A few people have commented that this song is about suicide. I don't see it. I have always thought this is someone that does not want to die. I think it is about someone with cancer or other issue.

[SuperCaz68]

not heard this for years great song ahh the 70s

[HayabusaR1300]

229 hard nosed twats

[coolcelt1]

This song reminds me of the time I died.



[RamJamable]

@coolcelt1 Hot damn that makes me laugh out loud! Just gotta love the song, the times, and the cool comments that follow...

[allforthelordjesus]

a true trip down ole memory lane we need to bring back songs like this ~Dave

[icequeenmt]

goodbye my friend it's hard to die x

[qeddeq1]

this song is so corny, so maudlin that it has to be one of the top ten worst songs ever.

[campaniancards]

NIce song!



[Moreno1Melissa]

This song reminds me of when I had to run away from an abusive home, my fiance pretty much ignored me at that time when I needed him, if I had heard this song at the time, I probably would of committed suicide because at the time I was feeling very suisidal.

[PITOLOCOYPIPILA]

Little children everywhere, when you see them I'll be there...PEDOPHILE!!

[mazdatobbe]

@PITOLOCOYPIPILA its about a child that dies!..

so not a song for your kind..

[FLEXskateboards]

@PITOLOCOYPIPILA HAHAHA LOL even though he aint a pedo!

[taxidriver508]

OMG,i can remember this song in grammer school,where have all thes years gone to!

[adam3945]

Goodbye papa, it's hard to die...

[dobranitbola]

Este vídeo me fez recordar o passado nos anos 70, muito bom.

[1965garryd]

Brilliant song from my childhood :)

[lndac02]

first record i bought :)

[thenicedudejay]

this great song always brings out a tear in my eye.....

[keither1969]

Terry Jacks had a great hit with a song about suicide, and this song saved me shortly after my 18th birthday, when I was contemplating killing myself and this was played on the radio, which was a rare occurance at that time because of its subject matter. Thanks Terry!!

[rockdotchic]

@tcsilver...I am 44 :)

[JinxyPopVader598]

Can't stop crying.

[dajdooley]

This song was, and is, awesome. It brings back soo many great times. Yes, it was so much easier back then. I just bet that if we posted comments back then, they would have been more pleasant. It's a simple matter of respect, but many just don't know that. At any rate, awesome song and Peace always...

[MILKYPISTOL]

Goodbye papa it's hard to die...........

[answerstolucky]

13 years old, in Junior High. What about you?

[spacecowboy7580]

I used to post irrelevant comments on youtube, then I took an arrow to the knee.

[andelga]

favorite kurt cobain's song

[MultiNONSTER]

happy days thanks for uploading this song

[wilsonkick1]

wow i love this song - my mum and dad had the 'record' of it and when i was about 12 i played it over and over and over - takes me back to happy times - thanks

[TheAngiebabe46]

Sad sad sad but so lovely somehow!! Takes me back to my childhood life so uncomplicated then! x

[masterstoner666]

my gf gave me this song as a clue to remind me of her middle name

[mixintl]

really dumb people don't know the difference between "your" and "you're".

[northerncrisp]

I was 4 going on 5 when this came out originally. It was the first record I ever owned on 45!

[1969MsMercedes]

Ahhh, 70's childhood. So much simpler then, very happy times.

[dammitray2]

@pipefitter0127 AND ONE DUMB ASS POSTED THIS SHIT!!!!!!!!!



[mifou72]

@dammitray2 get a life or a culture or both....

[TheStrazy]

@pipefitter0127 You need help on your trolling, The delivery is too fast, You leave yourself open to comments proving your stupidity (This isnt a radio and you stayed long enough to comment not once but twice, If you use more than 2 exclamation points it shows you have a nervous tick (Your anonymous dont be nervous) and lastly you are trolling a song which has been around alot longer than you (the people who click on have common sense and probably dont want to argue).Work on it!!

[buffyhail]

@TheStrazy : COOL..... But just ignore him.. is he a man. I don't know.. but thanks..

I am only 18 but I like this song.. and It's a nice song...

Cheers mate....

relax dude..

[TheStrazy]

@buffyhail Oh i am relaxed, just trying to give the troll some pointers while im listening to some great music. I always try to find time to help others especially when i see them give such a pathetic attempt at rattling others. Cheers !!

[buffyhail]

@TheStrazy :

Cool nice dude.. how are you today??? you're very friendly in that way.. lol.. hope you and your family are all doing great.. 

[TheStrazy]

@buffyhail You as well !!

[TheStrazy]

@pipefitter0127 You didnt hurt my feelings, Just trying to help your trolling and i already have a life thanks!!

[1223tool]

@pipefitter0127 talk about dumb....your a pipefitter!!

[davemr1966]

Fuck me , its guy martin !.

[rockdotchic]

Ahhhh love this song, brings me back to my childhood....things were so much nicer back then.

[jochsner826]

@rockdotchic ditto.

[tcsilver]
