[adal7078]

que padre cancion la verdad

[TheZeke1974]

Sad song but good nonetheless.. I was 3 months old when this came out in April 1974.

[ReinaHW]

A sad and beautiful song, it can fairly make you cry. I wish music these days was as good as this.

[mrsteepee2512]

Please listen more carefully... This is a suicide note ...........beautiful but a suicide note all the same....

[reddragons73]

This is the song I played when I lost my virginity

[luluzinha1965]

Hoje ...aos 46 anos descubro porque esta música me fazia entender até bem demais sobre a minha vida , tipo uma previsão ..sei lá...eu tinha apenas 9 anos de idade quando ouvia e ouvia esta música . Inxcrível , mas eu nem sabia o português e já sabia o que a música falava .

Será meu epitáfio, espero morrer num belo dia assim de primavera .

[ooshpouf]

As a kid i remember watching a sad music video to this song with a solider dying and when is says here’s to you my trusted friend he is talking of his dog I can’t find this video anywhere on the net dose anyone nowhere to find this ?

[emptypockets81471]

Always brought a tear to my eye but I really like this particulau song of his

[BananaJSSI]

Reminds me of my childhood when I hear this song. Two of my friends were riding their bikes when a drunk driver killed them both. That was back in the Summer of 1975 when we were all 11 years old. They were brothers.

[deanampeterson45]

I miss you John. Your alchol wverdose was a long time ago. You were only 21 years old and had your whol life in front of youl I wonder what you would be like today. You were a great wonderful brother. I will see you some day.

Love You,

Beaner

[NeverForgetCoLLaTz]

@deanampeterson45 always loved this song

[paralettic66]

Beautiful.

[shulman2]

I agree. I feel this is one of the best songs about summer although it only mentions spring. The words and melody are great. Sadly, this song is forgotten today . Whatever happened to Terry Jacks? So many great artists had 1 hit and then were never heard from again. Poignant and meaningful lyrics unlike most of the junk written today. Thanks for posting.

[tiggyspal]

Thanks, I needed That!

[eric72265]

I remember this song as a kid, & i always pictured myself dying! LMAO, cause only the good die young.

[adamfear17]

[MrMUSIC1981]

I heard this song on the radio the day ater my dad died,goodbye papa it's hard to die !!!!! we miss you

[MrMegaFredzeppelin]

This song takes me back to time my brother had this on a 45rpm!!!!!!!!!!!! THE "B" SIDE WAS A SONG CALLED PUT THE BONE IN!!!!!!!!

[susanreid3]

@MrMegaFredzeppelin

I had the same 45! I wore it out!

[adamfear17]

@susanreid3 dude buy a cd lol jk 45's rock they sound better too

[harwicke]

Terry Jacks offered this song to the Beach Boys to record. Mike Love in his wisdom decided it was too much of a bummer song for the BB's. Terry did it himself and it was a #1 hit.

[Raider577]

@harwicke Are you sure? This song is a cover and I've heard the original .

[harwicke]

@Raider577 Terry was producing it for the Beach Boys but Mike Love was acting like an A hole & Brian was outta his mind...Terry just did it himself. The Beach Boys demo version is on youtube. Check it out.

[Raider577]

@harwicke Well either someone is lying(beach boys or Terry Jacks) or got their facts wrong. Because I saw a documentary here in the UK about a Belgian poet/singer songwriter called Jacques Brel (spelling might be incorrect) Acoording to this programme he wrote or at least wrote the lyrics or melody and Terry Jacks covered it. His version I think is on You Tube.

[harwicke]

@Raider577 Yeah, I think it was an old song in a different language, and Jacks up dated it. He changed it, and tried to get the Beach Boys to record it.

[Raider577]

@harwicke I have just checked Wikipedia(though they are not 100% reliable) They say Jacques Brel melody

was used but an English translation from the French was done by an American lyric writer. Apparently it had been covered before in English before Terry Jacks even recorded it. Though his is the most successful and known version.

[MissymissyJo]

I remember buying this record! Loved it so much at the time - I played it over and over again. Loved the lyricsof this sad little song...

[Bearwolfwitch]

1974 the best year.

[darlingdino]

I always thought this was a happy song when I was a kid. Then I heard the lyrics...

[Mr1duane1]

wish I had a papa!

[w570102]

好懷念!很經典的一首歌~~

[TheShellf8]

Good-bye my friends it's hard to die, when in the fridge is unused apple pie.

[alvinate]

[TheFrogger15]

Is Michelle supposed to be his Wife or Daughter?

[Estuardo5705]

As most of the comments I got to say it's a pretty song but sad lyrics. I like it anyway.
