New Seekers - Circles

Original 1970s line-up of The New Seekers

[@AllanTelford]

One of my favourite songs still. Love it. Takes me right back when life was so much easier

[@cloughey1]

takes me back to my favourite year 1972, aged 14, when life was so much easier, and music so much better.

[@crimsonwizard2560]

I was 10, but it was great.

[@SJHUE]

Such a lovely song. Imagine there was just one song, of similar quality to this in the charts today. It would single handedly improve it ten fold.

[@billyweir714]

Brings back happy memories of my first holiday in St Andrews in 1972

[@juliedutton2584]

Rip peter Doyle, a great group from the seventies the new seekers loved them fond memories great times

[@arlkes101]

Such an evoking song of great times. We were so blessed to have been brought up in the best era!

[@garrycoupland2082]

Beautiful song and brilliantly sung by the lovely Eve Graham. They don't make em like this any more

[@jimjordam]

Forgot about this song, memories came flooding back.

[@gustaaf1892]

I always think that Peter Doyle's singing makes the difference so many of the New Seeker's best songs. When he left they were more or less finished.

[@wolfgangkiesteiner6560]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@geoffharris9396]

I was 17 when this was played, remember the music and the happy times. Life was great and full of loving. Now I'm 67 and wondering if I can afford to put the heating on this winter ! All we have left are the memories of a far, far better time..

[@brianbeecher3084]

But yet there were many who said the very same things back when Brooklyn lost the Dodgers and rock ‘n roll took over much of the music landscape.

This great song written by Harry Chapin is still timely.

[@terrypage2098]

[@keefmay64]

[@suzayyy64]

Despite the rubbish being spouted on the comments, I still adore this song!! :) Thanks so much for posting x

[@waghorn41]

Saw them live a few times, twice in one day. This was my favourite of theirs.

[@bryanpalmer9660]

Love the song,love the videp

[@SallyWilliams]

Nothing beats the original line-up !

[@TMDTMDTMDTMDTMD1]

[@nickm1629]

Definitely my favourite NS song 🙂

[@CWb2006gl]

I loved this song as a toddler age 2 and 3. I used to sing it all day long and drive my family mad 😂 and sing it at nursery school along with sing a rainbow and nursery rhimes.

[@lancesmith7126]

great dvd and song

[@uksfinest63]

i loved the new seekers i tried to learn this on piano when i was about 10/11 did nt quite master it tho great to see again thank you

[@jdavidburns]

Too true, a real shame that Peter Doyle is no longer with us, his contribution to the sucess of the group was huge, a unique voice. But there's still Lyn and Eve, Lyn's latest CD "Late Night" shows she just gets better and better - bring the originals back!!

[@davidinchester]

I have great pics with them in 1973 and 1974, do u remember them then?

[@kaybrady4832]

Summer of 72 wow.

[@nighttoremember1981]

brilliant group ,,,pls reform just for one night..

[@SallyWilliams]

Nothing beats the original line-up

[@ksli1240]

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)

[@HotSummerof1976]

Reminds me of the summer of 72..

[@raymondmartin7332]

Still good to listen to.

[@paglesham78]

marty and paul own the 'New Seekers' name and the band still plays gigs sometimes - with 2 new girl singers and one other boy. Eve Graham is a solo singer and lives in Scotland. Lyn Paul still sings, but has been in the West End in Blood Brothers. Sadly, Peter Doyle died in 2001 from throat cancer

[@sct353]

Great to see this - first time since I saw the original TOTP in 1972. I thought the BBC had wiped all these shows ? Where did this come from ? Thanks for posting.

[@FreedomforHaiti]

@Cloughey: So I'm not the only one who thought life was much easier in the early '70s. (I was 10 years younger than you, but I've never forgotten that time.)

[@sirlonewolf816]

Eternal Return!

[@shillyfrog]

Eve Graham was the best looking woman in 70's music!!!

[@philhughes4672]

LYN PAUL will always be my favourite!

[@patrickfarrell5092]

I totally agree, Eve was the perfect woman, everything about her. They were a special group of people, once one left it just gradually feel apart. At least we have the memories. Their albums had some amazing songs and harmonies. One of the many gifts of being around back then, songs were written about love and life's adventures.Today they've all about sex and immediate gratification. I left Europe in 1985, the American music was corrupted at that stage.

[@alexarolasgarcia1747]

Esta buena canción la cantaron y la publicaron THE NEW SEEKERS en el año 1972

[@jpandyaraja]

what a time that was.....!! where are they now...?

[@munlochyprivatehire]

Eve has always been my girl, love you!

[@annoldham3018]

My dad liked her .. and Pan's People!👩👱‍♀️👩‍🦰💃👯‍♀️

[@SallyWilliams]

Both bands were good, but I always prefered The New Seekers, they were my childhood Top Pop Stars !

[@davidreed1995]

Love new seekers RIP peter Doyle love eve and lyn

[@rampa125521]

rather energetic dancing for such a song....

[@SJHUE]

Haha yes I noticed that lol!

[@STONEYBROKESTILL]

How time changes things - this was my favourite group of the time, they were succeeded by 'Fox', and now, (in my mid 50's) I think 'Trans Siberian Orchestra' are the greatest thing since sliced bread! Couldn't get much different really.....

[@SallyWilliams]

they didn't, they were 2 different bands. Keith Potger from The Seekers put the new band together. And while the original Seekers only had a limited repertoire, The New Seekers did ballads, country, rock, pop, folk. And the original Seekers only had one great vocalist (Judith), The New Seekers had 3 (Eve, Lyn & Peter)

[@SJHUE]

Hi Sally. Four in fact. Don`t forget Marty Kristian! Great band. I stopped listening to them a long time ago but in recent years I`ve been playing them again. I always liked The New Seekers but I realise now I didn`t appreciate them enough back in the day. They were truly fabulous! Best wishes

[@BaddaBigBoom]

Agreed -shame its so muffled -or is it me failing ears -gawd blessus! Christ...so many memories.

[@wolfgangkiesteiner6560]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@ColumRogers]

I've got this on cd but also on a cheap compliation album called Top of the Pops Vo, 25. But i prefer this version LOL.

[@G2648875]

Good old Ed 'stewpot' Stewart.

[@annoldham3018]

Crackerjack! 😉✏✏✏

[@stepheng8779]

​@@annoldham3018Crackerjack!

[@johnnypoker46]

I love this song, the version on the Elektra 45 at least. This version here is fairly faithful to it, which is good ...

[@dryliner65]

Great song , what were the audience dancing to ?

[@SallyWilliams]

They didn't, the Seekers vanished because Judith wanted to go solo, and Keith formed the new band. And while The Seekers had a typical 60s folk sound, The New Seekers were pop, country & a bit rocky, their success shows that the formula was right. And "talentless" is just a stupid remark.

[@Geffers58]

Great to see this, but why b/w?

[@mottledbrain]

Question. I didn't realize that the New Seekers performed this. (Hey, I was only 14 in '72.) Were they the first to have a hit with Circles, or did someone else beat them to it?

[@lunny1963]

love the seakers, particularly lyn paul my first school boy crush, what a voice and what a girl xx

[@jpandyaraja]

thx.....jp

[@roslynrichards882]

The Seekers (original) featuring Judith Durham vanished did they? Gee, I'm going to see them in concert at The State Theatre in Sydney next month, not bad for a "vanishing" act I'd say!!!

[@waldemarwojak8429]

Eve Graham - cudo

[@ronniesbfan]

you maybe right, blondie always attract more attention, say Mary Hopkins,Deebie Harry etc, well, I have a deep impression of eve back in 1971-1972, in which eve attrats me more in those album, i always thought new seekers is such a waste. don't forget I'm a great fan of lyn too, I had her solo album back in 1974.You know ,comparison is cruel,they are all beautiful people. Tanks for your reply.

[@ronniesbfan]

Eve was definetely prettier tnan Lyn at that time,I love Lyn too.

[@benjames8302]

Eve graham way passed 79

[@mottledbrain]

I was just listening to the studio version. I THINK they are actually singing. But why don't they just put their guitars down and sing. It looks kind of silly when you hear different instruments other than those that they are "playing". Do bands still do this today?

[@unclemort1960]

The New Seekers were `a bit rocky`, compared to the `Old` Seekers they were practically heavy metal.

[@SJHUE]

Ha lol! Yes they did have a few rockier tracks which I think suits them as Peter Doyle had a great `Rock` voice!

[@raremusicman]

Sounds a little like Seals & Crofts and a little like Sears & Roebuck...

[@jeffkan118]

I would say the old seekers were very much better than the new seekers.

[@noalf]

im 42 now.. you guys must be older than me coz i dont remember this song.

[@garethsinclair8728]

Do you realise how bad I feel right now I love but hate you so much midnight last chance

[@1949aquarius]

Wish they would get rid of the driftwood and bring back Eve, Lyn and Peter. I know Peter Doyle is no longer with us but Peter Oliver was a good replacement. Come on Gang reform and show this lot how it should be done!!!

[@lunny1963]

@ronniesbfan ...eve prittier than lyn!....wish youd have been my mate as a young man on the pull, no contest mate lyn was a real beauty...

[@tommieparch]

The New Seekers had one good song, (teach the world to sing).... but, I never understood why the original band Seekers with all their great music turned their band into the talentless "New Seekers!!

[@davidreed1995]

Tommie oarch new seekers were great twat

[@jdavidburns]

Yeah but just the bass player - none of the vocalists - and it shows :(

[@tommieparch]

o.k. Sally....less-talented...lol..

[@TheBitterWeed]

Evil, evil music.

[@SJHUE]

Did you mean to leave this comment on a Rap or Grime music (ahem)video but it landed here by mistake?

[@tommieparch]

this band is one of the worst i ever heard, and they got paid 4 th is? the original seekers georgia girl was good

[@annoldham3018]

I liked them both but I get where you are coming from. I love early Fleetwood Mac and Genesis but can't understand why both became more popular later on. Peter Green and Gabriel are much better than Stevie Nicks and Phil Collins in my opinion but the sales reveal different tastes.

[@SJHUE]

I`m sure you could easily hear a lot worse without too much effort. In terms of getting paid they were by and large paid very little actually. Compared to the mega millions most (C)Rap `artists` get nowadays they were paid peanuts. Agreed on the original Seekers singer Judith Durham who had one of the best voices ever.
