Left me so sad...First time hearing TERRY JACKS - SEASONS IN THE SUN

[@xalm8761]

The song was a semi translation and a homage to an old French song that was about a man on his death bed reminiscing on life while praying that his friends and family has the strength to not let his passing affect them in too negative of a way that it destroys them in their grieving process.

Originally to me it was a little depressing but still very sweet. But now that things have changed in the last year or so. It's taking on a deeper meaning for me as I've been making my final plans. Either way, from early in my youth all the way into my MID 50s this song has always been one of my true favorites. I've been making a compilation for CD to be given out to several of my closest friends. It'll be made up of certain songs that holds a special meaning between us.

What strikes me most about this song is the stark contrast between him dying while the birds are singing so happily and spring is in the air. It has always made me view the good things in life from a fresh perspective. When you see those things from the perspective of a dying person they seem so incredibly precious. It's a reminder to not waste your life taking the beauty of the world for granted. Soak it in while you're able.

I was ten when this came out, and like a handful of other songs it hit hard, as kids we didn't know the back story, but I think most people realised it had a kind of gravitas, it wasn't just another song on the radio, and while it might not be one of those songs that transports you back to the time and place you first heard it,,its one you never forget

Dear friends and fans of Terry: I am posting this message on Terry’s behalf, with him talking to me as I type. After his stroke back in March, he was doing really well with the recovery. However, a few weeks ago he endured another stroke that sent him back to the hospital. He is having a really difficult time adjusting to it. He would like to reach out to everyone and know that your prayers for his healing and health would be greatly appreciated and well received as he is having a really difficult time dealing with everything right now. Please pray for Terry and send lots of Love and well wishes his way.

I love this song!! Terry Jacks had an awesome voice. I heard him say once that he had a big fear of singing in front of people. He sang in the 60's with The Poppy Family. But he was really faced with that fear even more with the success of "Seasons In The Sun." I'd love to see a reaction to "Which Way You Goin' Billy" by The Poppy Family.

[@Steve-1951]

"Seasons in the Sun" is an English-language adaptation of the 1961 song "Le Moribond" by Belgian singer-songwriter Jacques Brel with lyrics rewritten in 1963 by American singer-poet Rod McKuen, portraying a dying man's farewell to his loved ones. It became a worldwide hit in 1974 for Canadian singer Terry Jacks . Listen to McKuen if you want a tearjerker.

I heard that song as a kid in the 70s, and loved it. When I am Danish, and later in my life began to learn English, the song became much more emotional for me, as you could interpret it now in many situations. Where as an older person, you have known many people who have gone away, and i am misses today, and wish they were here today. It does not change that the song, the melody is good .. yes maybe even has a greater meaning emotionally .. I still love the song, although it can make me sad, as life is not only full of joys, but also sorrows, so I can easily get acquainted with your differences of impression, and expression of the song ..!

I know how you feel Stephen. I’ve felt it a lot when I have my own thoughts of leaving my own way, reflecting on people I’ve known, I’ve loved, and I’ve hurt. But you have to hang in there, wherever your lovely Mom is spiritually, she lives still in the present, in your heart, in your mind, in your words. She’s still here, while your here. And she raised an amazing child. And when you see her again, let it be after having lived many seasons in the sun, as her son😊….Which you know she must wish for you, that melancholic feeling might just be from the pain she feels knowing her boy is suffering on the other side, thinking he’s alone…when in truth he never has been, and never will be😊

[@vonnyb9052]

"Seasons in the Sun" is the story of a dying man, bidding farewell to loved ones who have shared his life. Shortly before Terry's recording came out, Jacques Brel retired, at the peak of his popularity. Fans around the world were stunned, but the composer would give no reason. Finally, the truth was revealed: after a quiet, six-year battle against cancer, Brel succumbed to the disease and died on October 9, 1978.

[@vandergrad]

I read an interview once where Terry said he had a friend tell him he just found out he had six months to live, and sure enough his friend passed away a few months later. Terry then decided to rewrite the old song others have mentioned here, about an old man dying. He was a music producer and meant to have an established group perform it, but no one wanted it. So he did it himself, and it made him a fortune.

I was a small child when this song was popular. Ive always got the impression that from the singers point of view he was terminally ill or mortality wounded. It seemed to me that dying wasn't by his choice. Suicide wasn't the impression I got. I do know the singer lived for many years because he still performed the song into his old age.

[@rogerlewis6488]

The memories he is singing about are like a nostalgia for what is in the past and can never be regained, and we all have memories like that with those feelings when we remember them. When you let them go one at a time each one is like a small death. In the song it is like the final looking back, giving thanks for the joys in his life and coming to terms with what is happening. When the time comes I hope I go with that much grace.

He worte this song about a friend who was very ill..i think it is a real tribute in life of a friends who nearly will leave this life behind. The things he describe it's so beautiful. He put in his friend's shoes to write this details. It's sad but it's also a relief accepting the end but has so many good memories to take with in the last journey. Life is short and we have to love at most. There's a versus that really shocked me when he recognized his mistakes when he said he was the black sheep of the family. But there's a clue when he said to Michelle: "i hope that we could both be there", talking about picking flowers. This is an excellent lyrics as good as Alone again naturally.
