The Canadian singer/songwriter Terry Jacks performs his hit "Seasons In The Sun" at the French TV show of Patrick Sebastien "Les Annees Bonheur". The show was distributed by France Television and TV Monde worldwide in January 2014.
My dad died in 1975 I was 6 years old and this song got me through the worst of my grief. I just always said it was sung to me by my dad. It still brings me comfort all the years later. AND MY NAME IS MICHELLE.
Hi Michelle 😢a very touching story Dear. I was 14 years old when this song came out. I’ve always loved it and it’s a sad song indeed. From now on when ever I hear this song I’ll think of you Honey.😢🙏
I’m Michele, also. But I was BORN in May of 1974, while this song was still in the charts. My name was supposed to be Sharon Anne, but my aunt and uncle had a baby girl three weeks before I was born and they called her Sharon. Another uncle suggested the name Michele. I’ve always wondered if it was because he liked this song.
I remember this song the day it hit the radio stations. Today at 66 years old it still brings tears to my eyes thinking of all the family and friends I've lost these past 50 years or so. What a great song with a profound message.
Тоже 66 лет, не знаю инглиш, танцевали под эту песню, недавно прочитал перевод, как то стыдно стало за безрассудную молодость, песня класс! Нет моих родных.
This hits hard for anyone of age, like me at 62....you start to realize that this world will continue to spin regardless if you're on it. Oh well...such is life!
I’m not sure when this was recorded, but he had two strokes in 2016. vancouversun.com/news/local-news/susan-and-terry-jacks-fight-serious-health-issues-in-hospital
YES, and, it's NOT that I was a young man in the 70s either!!!, because, all music from the 70s, take a lot of beating in my humble opinion😊 AND, I think it WAS written in the 60s🤔, but, it was recorded in the 70s by Terry Jacks!!, and it's still a brilliant, even though a very sad song!!🙂
This song was played at my uncles funeral back in 1998 he was only 33 hope he watching over is family r I p our Wayne listening uk 🇬🇧 England here 2024
PERFECTLY PUT!!❤❤ I SIT HERE WITH TEARS RUNNING DOWN MY FACE!😪 REMINDS ME OF ONE OF MY OLDER SISTERS, I MISS HER AND THE "GOOD OLD DAYS' WHEN MUSIC HAD MEANINGFUL LYRICS!!

I'm so sorry for each of your losses. I'm 53 and it's shocking to hear that your dad's have passed away so young.My dad passed away on October 30,less than 3months ago. I wish you both all the best,I'm so sorry.
God bless you all for your losses. I too, have loss. This song is beautiful in its poinancy, but still delivers the darts to the heart. After loss the memories, whether happy or sad, always leave a bit of pain. Still, the love we feel never dies.
Indeed my friend it was at one point my favorite song back then, now i heard that originally it was going to be called something like "a dying man" but the producers thought it to depressing. But don't know for sure, never looked it up
Happy 50th anniversary to this song, it was released this time in 1974! It’s early January 2024 as I post my comment. Although this song did not make the top ten songs of 1974, in my opinion it should have; it was that big a hit. May it live on for another 50 years!!
@@johnboy32064 Yeah if he actually sang here his voice sounds pretty close to when he was young but live performances never sound like the original recordings. I always want the performances to sound like the original recordings.
Wow he he hasn’t changed at all !! This was 2 of my favorite songs as teen in 1974 - I lost a friend to cancer today at just 52 and this ring made me think of him - he was an entertainer as well 😢
My little sister was hit by a car and died in 1978 when I was 8 yrs old.. I remember playing at a friends house and they had the 45 of this song and played it.. This was the first song that ever made me cry.. Love everyone you can, while you still can guys
One of the very few artists of the '60's-'70's who still sounds the same has full head of hair and same weight. He must have a healthy lifestyle. Good on ya Terry!
He's a remarkabe singer normally singers from that era if they were to sing now it wouldbe a struggle but not Terry jacks the man has not missed a step if you agree give me a hoot and y'all have a great evening
My sister passed 2 yrs ago, She wanted this song played at her funeral. So we had it played and we was so heart broken. It brought so many years of our childhood growing up. The song just fit all of us. Thank you Terry!
My brother died when he was 40. I will always remember this song because he sang it when he was 17 and me 14. He was my hero. I am an academic and he a plumber. I often said to him that I would changed with him if I could. He was such a lovely person but the wine and the song took him to early. I miss him so much.
I did not expect his current singing to sound anything like the original. I was VERY wrong! He captured every feeling from the original and didn't miss a beat. Bravo Terry
I was really surprised to see this live version of Terry Jacks doing this song, and what a great job, that even after all these years he can still put so much emotion into the song.
KRONIS HAMMA You are very welcome, my friend. By the way, (btw) I have no idea why your comment to me is dated Nov. 5th, and I just NOW received it, unless you live like, on the moon or something? Lol
Jan Hots I get around the universe a fair amount Jan... But I do all my Google commenting on Earth...Lol! Maybe a time warp continuem anomoly...ha, haa;))!
It's 2022 now I'm 54 yrs old now and this bring s me back to sitting in the back seat of my parents car in the 70s listening to my dad singing this song how I miss those days....
Armpit Studios Sorry but I have to agree with Tiger Trap . He sounds just like he did back in '74. And if I may say so, I can feel the pain in his voice even more now than back in '74. P.S. And yes the French are clueless- singing and dancing to a song about a dying man.
I love this song but makes me cry😢 because bring me memories of a dear friend that died at a very young age... 🎵we have fun, we have joy, we have seasons in the sun🎵...and yes we had so much fun!. And our generation still enjoying this wonderful song..thanks Mr. Jacks!🤗
Unas de la canciones que amo desde que la escuche hace muchas decadas atras, y tambien una de las que me costó harto tiempo en aprenderla porque si se dan cuenta, cada estrofa es diferente, solo el coro es algo similar aunque hay partes que también cambia, a cuantos les costó aprenderla? Saludos a la mejor generación que haya existido jamás!!
This song was a favorite of my brother's back when we were little. When I hear it now I think of him. He passed away in 2018 at the still young age of 56.
As for man, his days are like grass; he flourishes like a flower of the field; for the wind passes over it, and it is gone, and its place knows it no more. -Psalm 103
I think i was about 10 years old when this song came out. enjoyed it then and i still enjoy it now. for some reason it resonated with me. it seemed like the audience had blank stares, while listening to the song. i don't know if it was something that they couldn't relate to or if it was a language barrier and just couldn't understand the words.
Magnifique chanson je l avais complétement oublié merci beaucoup pour le partage cela me rappelle de très bon souvenirs sortie en 1974 je crois année de mes 21ans ouah le temps passe trop vite 😂😂❤❤❤❤❤
@BorisGoljevscek so it looks like we were in the Military about the same it. I actually served from 5 Oct 73 to 4 Dec 77. I love music from the late 60s and 70s. Stay safe over there.
@JJM-qf8dz I was assigned to H&S Bn, 2nd Force Service Regiment, January 1974 through July 1974, and returned September 1975 thru October 1977, renamed 2nd Force Service Support Group. Today 2nd Marine Logistical Group.
True... Life is for living. Don't waste time fighting. This song came at the right time where we were facing the generation gap. We rebelled against our parent for no good reason.😢
Me too Donna, my parents, my dogs, my friends. Last year I lost my youngest daughter. This song means a lot. Bless you. We did have fun in the sun though. xx
Jeez, I can remember this when it was riding high in the UK charts in early '74. That's 47 years ago... scary! Great voice then, get voice now. Lovely song.
Since I was about 13 years (I am now 61) this has followed me. Heard it originally in the radio on our boat deck, no streaming then. Extremely emotional
Merci pour ce partage en live et cette vidéo Effectivement énorme succès de l'année 1974 Je l'ai écouté en boucle pendant plusieurs années J'adorais cette adaptation faite en gardant le sens du Moribond de son ami belge Jacques Brel Doux rappel Bon chanteur canadien qui a eu un énorme succès avec ce titre
Classic, I remember waking up every morning in 1974 to this song on the radio. Terry Jacks has the same effect as he did then, nothing was ever lost. Truly hauntingly beautiful.
Since I was a child I heard that song in spanish, but when I have listened with Terry Jacks, it was fabulous,...now from Nocupétaro Michoacán México ..." My trusted Friends"...I was the black ship of the family"...
I was a little girl when I heard this I'm 55 years old now. Still cry , still listen and then I see this sigh.... Nothing has changed in his voice. As a little girl feeling lost. This i would play and play.
I didn't truly understand the depth of the lyrics when I was 11 yrs old, but this and Paul McCartney's "My Love" played every day and though I was only a child I fondly remember humming or singing these songs when I was feeling good on my way to play with my friends.
I've never been able to listen to this without getting goosebumps a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes. This is the first song I ever liked. I was five years old and played the 45 on my plastic toy record player hundreds of times. The song is so sad yet so beautiful.
I sang this song in 1975 in my high school's singing contest. Glad to hear this great lovely song again 46 years. Terry sings almost the same as that time with white hair.
Terry Jacks covered this song the second time. Usually the first cover is the best, his version went #1 and gold. The first cover is unheard of. He blew this out the park, makes me cry every time.
