Its a great song,, and why would it matter if he lip sync's the song,,
Everyone knows it was his song,, Hey give the guy some credit,,, Its called entertainment,,, I thing he did a great job of entertaining everyone,,, Hey,, You watched it .. so you must have enjoyed it
Many people tried to do this song,, But Terry was the only one that profected it,, so let him lip sync it, so it always sounds the same,,,
I wonder if Terry Jacks was given a choice of whether to sing live or lip-synch? He probably was, but decided to go with lip-synching because it sounded more "natural". German TV - that's a long way just to travel some 8,500 miles from British Columbia, Canada (where Terry resides) to perform a lip-synching gig! He probably was over there to perform at various functions as well. At 62 years of age in 2006, Terry still looks good for his age AND still has that head of hair (albeit shorter)!
I think he's lipsyncing, too....but i think that may be a wise thing to do...This is such a classic piece of work for him. Let the original stand, don't mess up your original work with other versions!
@Lizzpear Yeah, obviously, either that or his voice didn't change at all over 20+ years. The audio is from one of the 1974 recordings; it's not close, it's identical!
ok, all of you that are saying he's lip singing, you are sooo wrong. He's best friends with my parents and sings to us all the time. so i know hes not lip singing. it looks the same when he sings to us too. I love him, such a funny guy!! luv you terry jacks!!
@Kaitig93 I know Terry too and he doesn't sing to people, it's not his style. He's a studio created singer and has never toured or done a live concert on his own.
so many suicides and people getting murder in britain from 1967 to 1977 in britain. I remember walking home from infant school 1976 across waste land where only 2 houses stood. Saw 2 policemen bang down a blokes front door dragging him into their police car - bloke was scream blood curdling to me ( 6 years old ) ." help me !....they re going to murder me ! "...so I kicked one of the police men - FUCK I HAD BALLS AT INFANTS SCOOL - lol .....best years of my life
FUCK !.....this song and reo speed wagon would play all time on radio 1990 to 1992.......I had vicious mureder attempts being tried on me - from being chopped up alive to being fed alive to pigs........and other murder attempts . persecution was vicious.......FUCKING HELD ON FOR OVER 18 MONTHS!..........world record holder according to a man nick named ronald macdonald the farmer in cheltenham second best was a bloke who survived 6 months ..........3rd best was axl rose from guns and roses
I am in the camp that this is the real voice of Terry, today.. since this song is a one hit wonder, I can imagine he's singing, live, to a backing track of the original, and the voice and guitar are real. His voice, since he didn't tour all that much etc, and he's had LOTS of practice singing just this ONE song live, for 35 plus years, I wouldn't doubt he's got it down PERFECT, even now.. If I was him, and reading all of these lip sync posts, I would take it as a compliment LOL
This IS a lip sync. As one can see in the end, it is a german show. And in all german shows the music is lips sync. And in the end when the music fades away, you can't have any doubs at all. It's just the record playing with the artist doing lip-sync.
But it's still a wonderfull but sad song. And I heard it for the first time a few years after the release at a friend's place when I was about 9.
@Lizzpear no no seriously it's not lip synched - go watch that video I refered to - you can easily tell he's not lipsyncing in that one AND it sounds just like this one; that's the way he sings NOW (well, a cpl yrs ago). If he happens to sound exactly the same as he did originaly, then all the more power to him, but that's certainly him singing.
Love this song and it brings back memories. My sister and I would listen to this song by the hour and cry when we were kids. I miss you Laura. RIP my dear sister.
i also agree with esaradvisor, peacemonger your a little queer baiter. you know you didnt have to watch it. this guy is richer than you cuz u probly live in a box mby mcdonalds and go to a local library for computer use.
This song makes me cries because all the people in my family that died its sad good song other people dont think of me,others,or urself if u criy then ur a wimp cuz ur not :) for u :( for me
i can remember i was building a plastic model kit this song allways playing on my new am radio just got from tg&y it was a big deal ill allways remeber this until i die thanks terry j..kfrc weeeeeeeee

I don't really care if it's lip sync'd - what if he has/had throat cancer or something? You can see his heart is still in the song.
