thanks for so many views. thank you for the memories you have shared with me. I know everytime I hear this song I will think of my mom. She always asks me how many times this video has been viewed. You guys are awesome!! - Hudba
My mom and dad got together young. He passed away at 31. My name is Michelle. This song makes my Mom cry every time she hears it. We are 14 years apart in age. My father was the black sheep and so am I at 37. This song ALWAYS reminds me of my Dad and his life. And with me.
Hi friend i do not speak english

Bless!
Michelle .. Beautiful name..LIFE IS SHORT, PLEASE ENJOY..
My husband died of COVID in 2021, he couldn't talk (because of the mask on his face), so he wrote one lyric to me: "We had seasons in the sun." I didn't know it was song until I heard the refrain over a Walmart speaker. I sat in the middle of the aisle and cried. I had spent the night before begging God to let me know he was okay and that I would be okay. I felt like my husband was speaking to me at that moment. We used songs to convey our love.
It is a powerful and beautiful song, a tribute to his friend who was dying of cancer and his saying farewell to those he loved. :3
I was just thinking about the meaning of this beautiful but sad song, now you told me what I wanted to know... Thank you!
these songs are real...unlike the ones now in modern days that keep on repeating and has no use meaning.....we should have more meaning songs like these.
Yes, my dear, but at that time when this lyrics were written and this kind of songs were sang the schooling had a meaning. The purpose in life was Life. Now Stop ( if you can) in this madness and think back 40-50 years. Was much more peaceful at that time.
When you wanted to cross the street, you were just crossing the street ; now you are jogging across the street, and not because that's how you feel but just because you try to hold on to your dear Life. Don't be sad for yourself; Be sad for our children.
God bless.
@@gheorghestan5037 Wow, excellent comment. Yes it was much more peacefull, no smartphones, only phones at home. Nobody expected to be reachable 24/7, not so many laws for idiots and so on.
Nuff said my friend!
They don’t write music like they used to.
That stuff the kids listen to nowadays isn’t music-it’s noise.
(Said every old person ever.)
Are we old enough to start talking like that?
I’M not.
40-50 years ago, weren’t there some wars? And crime?
I just lost my dad today... this was our song. We would spend every Saturday night calling into the 70s channel requesting it it's something we bonded over. I miss you so much dad. 😢
He will forever still be with you. ,YOU ARE HIM.
I'm sorry for your loss. I can't imagine the pain you must feel. ❤ Think of him there and he'll be there with you, even if you can't see him.
I am sorry, so very sorry, that you have to suffer this pain. I know it, myself. I cared for my father, the person I always, since I was born, loved the most, was closest to, and understood me. You will always miss him. but it will get easier, but it will take time, maybe a lot of time. Allow yourself to grieve and hope that we all meet again somewhere, someday. My condolences to you. I care.
I am sorry for you loss. May God be with you

This song is dedicated to my father who passed away on September 14.2012.I love u dad n u will forever be missed.
My oldest daughter (she's 36 now) used to love this song when she was about 5 years old and make me play it over and over. I used to change the words to "We had joy, we had fun, we got blisters from the sun" and make her SOOO mad! Good memories.
This song will always make me cry. These lyrics are so powerful 😢
Very sad song, no doubt. Beautiful, but sad,
My beautiful daughter passed away 2 years ago today, alot of lyrics of this song sounds like things she would say to us......Thank you for adding this song to CZcams.
50 years a go , from when I first heard this song, and still it touches my heart as no one else..
thank you Terry Jacks and Jacques Brel!
Back in '74, this song made me cry because I thought of myself as a loser. But that fall, I began to have insights that made me realize that it was not too late to turn my life around. After all, I was only 24!
I remember the first time I heard the song I was with my mother 1979 she told me that this was her favorite song and to this day I have not forgotten. Terry Jacks touches my heart everytime I hear this song. Brings my mom back to me everytime I hear it. Thank you
Aren't memories the best thing ever Genevieve
I grew up in the 70s and this brings so many memories. Times were so innocent back then compared to today.😢
🙏🙏🙏
My first girlfriend just passed away yesterday. I'll never forget you my friend.
🥀May god rest her soul in peace 🥀
I lost mine last year in such horrific accident motorcycle accident 😭
My first girl friend and wife died 4 years ago. So many memories. Can't believe she is gone and only memories left. Loved her a bunch.
Praying for you
Leslie Silvers
Thank you
God bless to all of you for you loss so sad sending kisses and hugs to you all xxzxxxx
Happy 50th anniversary to this song, it was released this time in 1974! It’s New Year’s 2024 as I post my comment. Here’s to another 50 years for this song to live on!!!
If this song doesn't tug at your heartstrings, you might need new heartstrings
Funny but apropos...they are called chordae tendineae and do fail more often than thought. Which may result in cuspid failure and or mitral valve failure, sometimes beyond repair. Some call this a "broken heart" and most often can be repaired. Mine was replaced with a bovine valve or cow heart. Weird yet does happen. The hole was also repaired and the chordae sewn back like new. Took about 4-5 hours.
Well, I listen to this cause my dad used to all the time, as for my heart strings, they were severed years ago
Hahahaha
Ya' know, even for being a 50 year old, typical early-1970's AM Radio Top 20 simple pop rock hit, this song still carries its own weight and then some. The story in the lyrics marries together well with the melody line. Still jerks a tear out of people. Timeless and classic. 😎👍🏻
50 year old memories brought me here.
If I knew then what I know now I would
have appreciated the absolute wonder
of that time.
ANYONE LISTEN IN 2020
I HAVE MANY MEMORIES WITH THIS SONG I WAS A CHILD OF THE 70S I WISH JESUS LOVE AND PEACE TO YOU ALL💝❤💝💖💛💕
I'm ten so this song is not very popular for my generation but I love this song
We sung this song in our barrack in 1974, when I served my National Service in Singapore.
@@gytay oh wow , well my friends think I'm weird because I listen to "old" music but it's normal for me it's not wheat the person looks like that sings the music it's the sound and the feeling it gives me for me to pick if I like it or not
I was also 70s child, hearts back atya Margaret and everyone! be safe
@@danswiecki546 I'm a 2000's child wishing I grew up in the 70's 80's and 90's
This song makes me feel something really intense. I love this song so much
This song makes me think of my baby sister who passed away at the age of 34 from colon cancer. We went to a hippy festival right before she passed away and they played this I had tears because we knew what was coming . Now I cant hear this without crying .
I was the black sheep of the family all my life. : when I was 22 I joined the army and I wanted to be as far away from my family as possible from their supervision. To be free and my own master. Sinning often and forgiving myself of my sins. Today I am already retired, I am almost 50 years old. My siblings live completely different lives, my father died, my sick mother lives hundreds of kilometers away from me, and I would go to hell to be able to be with my whole family again at least one day. As a soldier, I experienced so much evil that I cannot believe in God, but if he does exist, I hope that he will make sure that my children will not be like me. This song brings back all the blows I've dealt in my life. My father once told me that it is difficult to live like a sheep when you are once a wolf. Today I understand what he meant.
You are not alone, brother. I hope you have become the man you wanted to be, got to know your family better & that they got to know you as you would like them to know you.
So sorry to heard you took a path that didn't bring you joy and happiness. I will pray so hopefully one day you'll find God and he will help you to calm your sorrows.
All the evil that you exerienced is work of the devil and of our own sinfull souls,.. God does exist and Jesus paid for all our sins, You just have to accept that, believe that. Pray to Him that He will give you that faith!
Dedicated to my papa who died 06.07.21 RIP despite our broken relationship I will always love you.
I forgive you and you will never be forgotten ❤️
The song makes me think of my childhood.
It's the only one that makes me want to bawl my heart out for those happy, carefree days as a child when everything was new, and crisp, and beautiful.
Then your father comes home. . . . . .
My father took me to a show at the seaside wen i was 8 years old, this song was sung & i burst into floods of tears & everyone complained so we had to leave. It was the first time i really understood that my mother had died & my loss at age 5. Happy to find it has comforted so many. Thank you.
This song reminds me of my brother Joe (1955-2008). He was truly the black sheep. But he couldn’t be any other way. 😘 Rest in the arms of God, dear brother ❤️
How sad but sweet. I lost 3 people I loved dearly, 2012, 2013, 2014. I miss them but I got a chance to spend time with each one and I have precious memories. Goodbye Daddy, Mom, and little brother. God bless me with a window of time to get to know you better, laugh and sing, be there for you at the end.
Sorry for your loss Michelle. Your dad watches over you. Have faith and remember you're blessed love
This masterpiece will forever hold a spot in our souls, hearts and beings. May this feeling of serenity and peace last forever.
O' my gosh~this song touches my heart today as it did back in the '70s when I first heard it. I am brought to tears every time I hear it. That was an emotional time for me when life was changing so fast, especially when my father passed away suddenly. The Vietnam War had just ended and my childhood friends I grew up with and went to school with were returning home without limbs and some in a pine box. These were just young boys fresh out of high school.
I’ll most likely be singing a slowed version of this for my grandmas funeral. She’s still alive thankfully , but with how old she is and how often she gets sick I get scared, especially since she’s the only one in my family that loves me ❤️
We all have to go. Hang in there so you can carry on her legacy of love for your own children.
know this you are loved I don't know you, but you are loved!
@@DoctorRobertNeville Well said.. back to you.
this song is so emotional its unbelivable
my dad died 3 years ago, and we used to listen to this song together, so the memories are still in it
this song will put tears in your eyes.
Brings back all the memories of loved ones, dear friends and what we remember as happy times and probably didn’t appreciate at the time but would give anything to go back and live again. To those who lived their teen years through the late 60’s early to mid 70’s , we lived through a very special time.
A childhood friend has terminal cancer. I just cried and cried 😢.
"HOW TRUE I couldn't have worded it any better than you".
Agree!!! We did!!
This song will always remind me of my high school days, I'll never forget those magical days ❤
This song is so amazing yet sad at the same time.
This song helps me remind myself how lonely it's going to be when my mom's gone and how bad life is going to be
If one song is sad, this one is. I can’t listen to it right now.....I think of Mom and Dad and I start to cry. Perhaps some other time . Love you both Mom and Dad and I miss you so very much....😭😭😭😭
That's sweet. I'm sorry about your sister. Same for me with my big brother. He passed away suddenly almost two years ago at age 42. We used to play this record when we were kids and it totally reminds me of him. Makes me cry and smile at the same time.
My beloved cat just died and we had many good memories and she brought me so much joy all year round. She is buried in our backyard and I will always remember her.
I cannot ever listen to this song without crying. I have no idea when it was written in Jack's life, but it has so many meanings for me in my own life that it's poignancy is overwhelming.
same feeling
Paul Walters uh huh
Easy answer it's not terry's song ......The original song is le moribond by the great Jacques Brel
Thanks
Wow thanks
This song is so infectuously haunting. I have always loved this song.
this song didnt make me want to cry when i was young , but now it does
This song was a hit when I was in grade school. Whenever it came on air I would turn the radio on very loud. Today it is still bring played on air. Love this song!!!
I heard this song for the first time so many years ago, while riding around the city with my dad. I felt the need to hold my breath so I wouldn’t burst into tears in front of him. It’s not like he would have been mad at me for it, but I wasn’t sure if it was appropriate to start bawling like that over a song, so I held it back. This one hurts to this day.
When I was little this song made me cry, my daddy had left us when I was only 5, I know I'm not alone but when your a little girl who's daddy left and your name is Michelle ( Mechelle) then you just might cry. I just listened to it again for first time in a long time and I cried still
F
TImelessly beautiful. Cry everytime. But it addresses the loss that every human has or will endure. To my little brother, Raymond Jenkins. I miss you.
I think of my dad every time I listen to this song. I miss you dad.
M y aunties favorite son who passed when I was 14 I never got to say good by oh how I miss her just knowing she would be proud of me today makes me happy love you aunt Lora
When I listen to this now, I cry for my Father and Mother who passed away. I'll see ya both soon, but not yet. Thank you for being the loving parents a son could ask for.. Love you....
They are both watching over you. And they walk beside you every day 💞
@@leeannecosier6651 Thank you for your kind words. When I was young Boy I loved this so song so much but really didn't understand it true meaning. Take care and may God be with you!
I haven't heard this song in YEARS. A friend shared it on Facebook tonight and the timing couldn't have been better. I haven't stopped crying since. I've listened to it 6 times since.....why don't they make songs like this anymore? It's good for the soul.
This one brings my brother (Mario 1978-2000) to my memory, I love him even he has gone
Latin booker not gone far from you
🙏🙏
RIP Mario sorry for ur loss! ✌🌞
God bless him brother , we are all in this way .One day we will pass away 🍀🌼
May you find peace in our Lord Jesus Christ. I lost a sister to murder 1981, so I understand your pain and grief period it never goes away...,,
love this song .. played at my cousin Michelle funeral .. lyrics are great .. miss you cuz xxxx
Sonia Dunn awwe. you're really brave. I can't even listen to the name of this song without breaking into tears automatically. I would cry more if I listened to this song in a funeral cuz it's so deep and beautiful
Beatiful song
My uncle recently passed away and this song makes me think of him. He was my best friend. I just cry at the 3rd part (obviously).
Reminds me of the long hot summers in the early 70s as a child and the friends I had who are sadly no longer here.
wow talk about back in the day i use to sing this when I was young! 😃
It's was in 1974 I know because my dad died and 75 play this song over and over and over and over ! It's most definitely a tearjerker also a memory sadly unfortunately he died 🌟🌞🌜🌕🌞🎶 always can make people sad, happy, or take us to the good / horrible times in our life ..!! I love music !!!
Yeah hr recorded it late 1973.
I'm 54 years old. Been listening to this song since i was a kid. And I'll listen to it when im a old man. Awesome song
I was a freshman in highschool when this song came out in 1974. I turned 60 this last July and 4½ months earlier became a Great Grandpa! I get to babysit him 5 days a week. He is such a joy to have around (Except for the diapers🚼)! WHERE HAS TIME GONE?
I lost my dad july 15 2020 i remember late nights fishing and bonding listening to this song the while car ride we used to play halo 3 odst firefight for hours on end and i jusy can't touch it anymore without my partner life just hasn't been the same and i miss hik everyday i still take care of his cats that he loved so much and their doing incredible even got one of them the surgery they needed and had him fixed like dad wanted i know hed be happy and proud and it keeps me going
My grandpa died when I was 7 or so and he was the most wonderful person I had ever met and I miss him.
I've cried every time since the 1st time I heard this song when I was about 10 years old. That was nearly 40 years ago. Some songs just never leave your mind. This is one of them.
This was the favorite song of my lil' bro, he died of Cancer 2 months ago, everytime I hear this, I feel like he's by my side singing it to me, and it really makes me happy, love you bro
When music had meaning and touched the the heart. Thanks for posting
The best song on the face of the earth!!
Wow I haven't heard this song since I still had my parents together and I was young and didn't know better.It just randomly poped in my head and I wanted to relive it.Its very nastolgic and emotion for me to hear now.Sometimes after all the craziness I just lay down in the dark while listening to music.Usually sad music where then and only can I truely be myself and cry without anyone judging me.I know no one will read this cause it's too long but I'm just expressing how I feel and I rarely get to do that.
I have always liked this song since my grandfather first played it for me when in about 5 or 6 years old. He passed away when I was 12 and of all the things he left behind for me the first thing I made sure of getting was his 45 version of this song. I, too, sometimes lay in the dark and play it and have a good cry so there is no judgement. Thank you grandfather Carl. I still love you.
The Midnight Club brought me here. Incredible lyris and beautiful song.
God bless you lost my wife 2 yrs ago miss her
Estas si eran preciosidades de Canciones, no como las ridiculeces que cantan en la época de hoy, Artistas Talentosos que jamas podrán ser superados.
Excelente
One of my earliest childhood memories.
My mom and I singing this in the car on the way to San Jose.
It's been 11 years since then, and I continue to know all the lyrics and enjoy this song :)
Forty four years ago when this song was a hit we truly had fun in the sun, now it brings fondest memories and tears as you have been gone exactly 2 long years, miss you my dear friend RF, rest safe in the arms of your Saviour that you so longed to meet, I envy you. We will meet again! 💕🌷🌷
Never really paid any attention to the lyrics, now that I have, there are legit tears in my eyes
Amazing song. Loved it when it was first released. Love it still.
Good old times then. No killing people. Just peace love ❣️ and lots girls too.
High school days when i first hear this. Memories!!!!!!
My Dad killed himself in Feb of 2004! I was so upset I had forgot I bought a few CD's . On a day when I was feeling a little better I started listening. I'd skip songs that I thought would make me cry and then this came on and I listened and buckets of tears!! I could hear him saying this to me! There was no note....he promised me a note! SO SAD!
the radio station in my area plays this song now and then. i get the shivers every time i hear it. love it
This song is so heartouching and beautiful OMG i cry rivers and rivers when I listen to it. the lyric is so deep. I miss grandpa so much and this song makes me feel worse and devastated.
same I lost mine 15 yrs ago and the pain still there at time it got easier but worse in a way cuz when the pain hits it hits hard now but I've learned how to make myself feel better cuz he wants me to be happy so I do things that make me happy use this if it might help you out

The first 5 seconds I started to cry :(
Such a beautiful yet sad song...
I love this song!!!!❤😢❤❤❤
love this song
This song came out not long after my uncle committed suicide. My grandmother could not bear to listen to it because my uncle was very much the "black sheep" and when he died his daughter was less than two weeks old so the "Goodbye Michelle my little one" just tore her heart right out. Still hurts to hear it.
oh to be yours young again, to have seasons in the sun! truly, if I'd of known that I was going to live this long, I'd of taken better care of myself 😊.
me too
what kind of remark is that Peggy Walker there is nothing wrong with the way you look, as a matter of fact you are a beautiful looking lady from what i see in your photo. You have nothing to worry about just stay the way you are Peace to you your friend Tom
Wouldn’t we all love.
If we knew then
Things be different.
But God did we have fun
Peggy I can barely see your photo, but you still look good dear.
I had this song stuck in my head all day I just needed to hear it and I would love to share it to my facebook so my friends can listen to it.
Amazing song, beautiful in every sense of word.
27 yrs old and listening to this awesome song
fayneblackheart
19 year old and listening to this awesome song.
@@lucasm4299 50 years old and applaude you for your fantasic taste in music
67 springs young and listening this beatiful song. :-)
ever since I heard this song as a little kid it always makes me cry
My dad played this song a lot quite frequently, when I was younger I just took it like it's just another song, he passed away on January 28ty 2014 due to a brain tumor... now that I listen to this it hurts too much and I miss him very much so every single day
Had to hear this beautiful song & have a good cry. One sister gone since 2015 & found out last week that my little sis has maybe 3 yrs. left. Never thought to outlive my precious, little sisters. This pandemic grates on the emotions but this, too, shall pass.
I use to hear this song all the time when I was younger.
Now it only reminds me that those days weren’t all good,
It just follows you
very great...........old is gold
What a beautiful song. It remembers to my best friend.
This was played at grandmas funeral it makes me cry everytime
I have listened to this song my whole life, and I always loved it, but the first time I really paid attention to the lyrics (english is not my first language) almost made me burst in tears in the middle of the street. Now I love it even more; it's so sad and beautiful at the same time.
So am I too. You are right.
This is such a beautiful song!
This brings me to tears...remembering my older brother who sang this year before we parted ways...and last time I saw him was when he was already in a coffin.
As a kid i adored this song. I never knew or understood the lyrics or the reality of death til i went to the 1st funeral i had ever been to or could remember. Now i cry when i hear it. I lost my grandfather last year. He died in Fresno and where i live it's hours away. I have a son and at the time he was so little still and couldn't visit because covid restrictions in the hospital. He was diabetic and had cancer. That weekend i was supposed to see him for probably the last time never happened. My mom said "next weekend". He dies before i could see him. I cried so hard and for so many hours i got a bad fever and got a terrible flu. I cried harder in comparison to when my grandmother died of cancer. I got to see her before she died. Cancer runs in my family. I heard this was about the singer's best friend that died of acute leukemia. His best friend was called the black sheep in his family. It was based off the friends last words or was written on a paper and turned into a song. But google it in case I'm wrong or missed something. My older brother survived leukemia. I haven't cried in a while. I needed this. Crying it out can help sometimes. Tonight i felt brave to hear this song again. I was afraid to hear it because i get chest aches now when I'm stressed or really sad. But i had confront it because maybe i needed to cry.
this is my aunt who died of cancer's favorite song and I can't listen to it without crying
my fav song of all time. takes me back to my childhood days.
"I feel the same as you about this song".
I first heard this song on an old school radio from who knows when in '97 when I visited peru for my first time. Bored listening to radio and playing Atari. It just spoke to me and stuck in my head.
I was just watching a news story of those students in Idaho who were murdered recently, they were showing the pics of the 2 murdered girls who had grown up together and been best friends. A bit later this song came on and all I could think of was them and their friends and family. Made me bawl. 😪
one of my all time favorites if i feel low this always makes me smile
