The original version of this song was written by Jacques Brel, a famous belgian singer.

I am quite certain that M. Wilson will never read this...but for all of you who come after this...I heard this song in 1964 by the Louis Bailly Singers, then I learned it was M. Brel who wrote it. 1974 was the year it received acclaim thanks to Terry Jacks in America. Such a song of joy and sadness shall not pass this way again in my lifetime, so all you young ones who find it, please appreciate the effort here. I thank you all...

@Desiree50able I agree with you sis you go

i like the part where carl sings he forgives her though her lover was his friend.I know Jacks didnt sing it that way,this version is much better.

"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.[1] It became a worldwide hit in 1974 for Canadian singer Terry Jacks and became a Christmas Number 1 in 1999 for Westlife. The Jacks version is one of the fewer than thirty all-time singles to have sold 10 million (or more) copies worldwide.

The song is a dying protagonist's farewell to relatives and friends

No, I don't like it. Maybe cause I grew up with the original version

[TomorowIsALongTime]

Wow I did'nt know they recorded this song!

[coolsweetgroovy]

No offence but this is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than Terry Jacks version Terry is an asshole because he never wanted to promote his version and that is why Terry is a one hit wonder

@TheChevycummins

probably bootlegged, I hear it was recorded for the Add Some Music sessions in 1969, but was cut out from the the lineup for Sunflower in 1970. It sure is Carl on lead, so Brian was probably not that involved.
