Terry Jacks - Seasons in the sun 2008 (1973)

Terry Jacks - Seasons in the sun 2008
Released 1973

Goodbye to you my trusted friend
we've known each other since we were nine or ten
together we've climbed hills and trees
learned of love and ABCs
skinned our hearts and skinned our knees

Goodbye my friend it's hard to die
when all the birds are singing in the sky
now that the spring is in the air
pretty girls are everywhere
think of me and I'll be there

We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun
but the hills that we climbed were just seasons out of time

Goodbye papa please pray for me
I was the black sheep of the family
you tried to teach me right from wrong
too much wine and too much song
wonder how I got alone

Goodbye papa it's hard to die
when all the birds are singing in the sky
now that the spring is in the air
little children everywhere
when you see them I'll be there

We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun
but the stars we could reach
were just starfish on the beach
we had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun
but the stars we could reach
were just starfish on the beach
We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun
but the wine and the song like the seasons have all gone
all our lives we had fun we had seasons in the sun
but the hills that we climbed

Not even a backing band. Not even trying to authenticate it a little bit...

This performance is sadder than the song itself :(

[cbording]

What a travesty of a video for such an epic song.

@gjfdell Thank you for the information. As I suspected.

[gjfdell]

@kidyubyub i think its the german chart show, they always have a theme time and then they invite stars that were in the charts in those times.

[kjetiltorvik]

He have the same "guitarstrap" as in the video from `74

its no big deal,its just that i was hopin to see what the song would sound like today,its just a shame that thet=y had to lip sync to a 1873 recording,with todays technology?at least make a recording today and add vocal adhancing mixers or whatever they do,come on

[kidyubyub]

@truecruefreak Show me an artist that HASN'T! I would imagine that this is some sort of show showcasing 70's hits and they probably paid the dude lots of money to come out of mothballs and lip sync. Big deal.

[streigoycker]

NO way he could EVER have that voice now.. I think if he actually sang and embraced his age maybe it could be a nice performance due to this song being so remarkable. it's a classic... people wouldn't expect him to sound the same. It's a shame though. it's just ridiculous. lol

[bigjim10011]

lip syncing SUCKS.

[truecruefreak]

the old man is lip syncing,whats the point?

[ellzedd41]

I was right about Terry,him and his music sucked and this is just pathetic and not even trying to be good.Awful!
