I am almost in tears as I heat this son discover and learn then.. I am almost g. It brings back both happy and bittersweet memories of my 14th summer, 1972, there was so muchtodiscover and learn then. I am nearly 65 now, and at times I feel.so wearyand burned out from this world, especially the last two years.
I'm sat on the floor of my childhood home sorting through photographs, years of memories in cupboards and drawers, now that both mum and dad have passed. My play list is from the 70s , memories of my mum turning up top of the pops, dad moaning about long hair 😊 and me growing up surrounded by love and support and tears are flowing . This being an adult hurts like hell 😞
Have always loved this......reminds of the early 70s when they were on Cliff Richard's Saturday night show on the BBC every week.....with Olivia Newton John and Una Stubbs as well. Wonderful days......brilliant harmonies from both Eve & Lyn.🍁🍂
One of my favourite songs of all time. Brings back happy childhood memories and my lovely mum & dad. God I miss them so much and great music like this xx
Me too.I have very happy memories singing this song with my cousin's and my brother at my Grandma's in Droylsden Manchester.We pretended to be The New Seekers .Why is it that happy childhood/teen makes me sad ? The song Memories says it all, ' Could it be that it was all so simple then , or has time rewritten every line , and if we had the chance to do it all again , tell me would we , could we.Memories may be beautiful and yet what's too painful to remember, we simply choose to forget .😢
As another here has said, this is a hauntingly beautiful song. I remember it, just, from 1972 when I was only 8 or 9. It reminds me of a happier time and place. I'd go back to that time and place if I could. Unfortunately, it's gone forever and I can never return.
I was 10 lying in a boat in the sunshine which my brother was rowing on Haggerston Castle lake in the north of Northumberland. Such a vivid memory of when my whole life was ahead and now I’m 61 and hating what this country has become
when we are young we are vulnerable ,when we become teenagers we become more aware of whats around us ,when we become adults we become more responsible in live ,(well should do ) ,when we get older and listening to music like this song we look back at our younger years and for alot of ppl it brings back sad memories which is hard to look back at 😥..........tears
I was born in 1978 and this style of music is all I play when singers could sing and this world was a much better place god how much i would love to go back, god bless all stay safe
This song suddenly started circling in.my head today and i dont know why so i came looking for it. I was 8 years old when.it was in the UK charts great to hear it again.
@@jonnymoonbeam1030 1972 brings back a lot of happy personal memories for me, the long six weeks UK school summer holidays is one special time, playing football with my friends and my brother " go carting" , just mucking around , good time !
One of my all time favorites...and it just about sums up my life which I struggle to understand at times. Eve Graham is such a wonderful singer and a beautiful girl.
According to history books, 72 was one of the most violent years in American history. Vietnam was on-going, kids were burning their draft cards and running off to a better country, Canada. women were protesting unequal rights, The civil rights movement was fighting in the streets. The Black Panther Party preached violence. Georgia's Governor George Wallace was shot and paralyzed by Arthur Bremer. The Munich Summer Olympics had a massacre that occurred wherein Palestian Guerillas killed Jewish Athletes. Back home President Nixon was discovered to be mastermind behind the Watergate break-in that led to Nixon being the only president to resign in disgrace.
@@keathgraham2742I think that it was a very different world for most of us here. Happy memories of being a kid with our families still alive and listening to music like this on Radio One.

Diary Of a chronic Pain Sufferer This brings back memories of coming out of hospital for the hundredth time - age 3 and my auntie buying me Rupert bear for being brave.... I used to love this song - because I knew from a very early age I was reincarnated....I kept singing it over and over again! My auntie bought me the single -
I saw the New Seekers live in 1972. The noise from all the screaming, hysterical girls was unbelievable! It was Marty Kristian's birthday and, being a lovelorn teen, I bought him a shirt and a big card . I was able to go backstage after the show to give them to him. I'd put my phone number inside the card, and he called me up next day for another chat. I was over the moon! The other girls at school said they were green, white and blue with envy. Marty was a big.star in the magazines at hat time and loads of girls had a crush on him. I was bombarded with calls and post, with everyone wanting to know what he was like. And I ended up with lots of friends and penpals that I didn't have before. I have to smile now, but that teenage crush was quite a whirlwind!
Written by Harry Chapin. His version from Greatest Storied Live will be played at my Celebration of Life. "No straight lines make up my life; And all my roads have bends; There's no clear-cut beginnings; And so far no dead-ends."
It’s so strange to me that this song was re-recorded round about the same time as the original version as they are both very similar . If you listen to the album version ( that’s the version I remember them playing on radio one ) after they sing …. ‘And so far no dead ends ‘ they sing the chorus before going into ‘ I’ve found you a thousand times ‘. Such a small difference but it’s there and I also like the vocals better on the original too . I’m sure to a lot of people no one would notice the difference . There is only one ‘original’ posting of this on RU-vid . Such a hard song to find and I bought the remastered cd just for this track . It’s always been one of my favorites . Please don’t think this is a criticism of the post . Not at all I was just voicing my opinion as to why it was re-recorded . Maybe someone can let me know 😊
All my life's a circle Sunrise and sundown The moon rose through the nighttime Till the day break comes around All my life's a circle But I can't tell you why The seasons spinning round again The years keep rolling by It seems like I've been here before I can't remember when But I've got this funny feeling That I'll be back once again There's no straight lines make up my life And all my roads have bends There?s no clear-cut beginnings And so far no dead-ends All my life's a circle Sunrise and sundown The moon rose through the nighttime Till the day break comes around All my life's a circle But I can't tell you why The seasons spinning round again The years keep rolling by I've found you a thousand times I guess you've done the same But then we lose each other It's just like a children's game And as I see you here again The thought runs through my mind Our love is like a circle Let's go round one more time All my life's a circle Sunrise and sundown The moon rose through the nighttime Till the day break comes around All my life's a circle And I can't tell you why The seasons spinning round again The years keep rolling by (Repeat chorus) (Repeat chorus) (Repeat chorus & fade)
This song was playing when I heard a broad on a nearby farm had been cut up with a panga. I was a teenager. I stood there pondering how long before my turn to die. Well it is almost time. Yes time for me to pay the piper.
Richard and Carlo, Aldo and Anita, Rita, Marco and Angela, I can’t remember people’s faces to the names. Mind you, I was only 2 at the fish shop with the nonna granny and her hubby, when I was singing this and all the relatives sat together as one big family! 🤔 I could do with a photo to remind me who was who? My memory as a baby is okay but a bit hit and miss remembering everyone. I would like someone to help me with everyone’s faces and names??? 🤔✌️ my daughter can’t remember anything from before 6 years old.
