Lyrics:
Goodbye to you my trusted friend
We've known each other since we were nine or ten
Together we've climbed hills and trees
Learned of love and ABCs
Skinned our hearts and skinned our knees
Goodbye my friend, it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
Pretty girls are everywhere
Think of me and I'll be there
We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed
Were just seasons out of time
#TerryJacks #SeasonsInTheSun #Vevo

[@bertjesklotepino]

Dad passed 31/3/2023. I heard this song many many years prior to that, fortunately. Because it has the perfect lyrics, in my mind. "Goodbye, papa, please pray for me I was the black sheep of the family You tried to teach me right from wrong Too much wine and too much song Wonder how I got along Goodbye, papa, it's hard to die When all the birds are singing in the sky Now that the spring is in the air Little children everywhere When you see them, I'll be there We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun But the wine and the song like the seasons have all gone We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun But the wine and the song like the seasons have all gone" For me this is true, or so it seems. So catching. March 31 and up to now skies were full of clouds, plenty of rain has fallen. And this week the skies opened up to show the sun again. And then, all of a sudden this song played on the radio. It really breaks my heart, like i am sure it does yours.

Terry Jacks (the guy that wrote and sang Seasons in the Sun) lives in my small home town. He doesn't have a massive mansion or a fleet of Bentleys, but he never has to work, goes on lots of vacations, has a nice waterfront home, a nice boat, and lives a pretty normal existence. The best part is that he almost never gets recognized. It is the perfect mix of fame and fortune IMO.

When Seasons in the Sun came out I can remember listening to it over and over. I was a teenager and I am now 64 years old. My brother passed away in 1972 from alcoholism. A month before he passed away his daughter, Michele, passed away at the age of seven from leukemia. This song so touched me. After his daughter passed away he no longer wanted to live and chose to drink and gave up on life. I can remember crying over and over as I listened to it and I still do.

I am 57 this year and after 50 the years fly by I have seen some great people pass over of all ages - most of them fantastic and many did not make 60. You never know what can happen but I will say this I lived my life to the full following my heart I exhausted the subject in every area you can imagine - but life does not end here - Jesus Christ revealed himself to me powerfully in a hotel room in my mid twenties when I wasn’t really even looking for him he just cornered me - Room 211 of the Comfort inn in Orlando Florida in the 90s - I knew then that God existed and he wants us to live with him forever. - so it’s not over - if your heart is open he will come.

[@m.gfaust8828]

I'm 60, so maybe a few years younger, but still of the same generation. I miss the boys (men) that never came home and am grateful to all who went. Parents shouldn't bury their children, it's out of order. I lost a 17-year-old son and am grateful for the 17 years but of course wish he had more. He had joined the Army Reserve a month before and when I told him he couldn't stay at a friend's house he said, "Mom, I'm in the Army. You know I'll be going to boot camp soon." So I decided to let him go. I hugged him and said, "Alright. Go ahead. Behave yourself and I love you." Whenever I find myself getting depressed, I do something outside or do something for someone else. Like, celebrate something with another family member, cook brownies for the teenagers across the street, bring some veggies to an elderly neighbor, or call my elderly aunt to check on her. Sometimes, when I let my mind go too far, I daydream about what he would have been (he was enrolling in nursing school at Baylor), if he'd have kids of his own, what he would be doing.....but that's a terrible mental path. I have to shake myself out of it or I'll end up in bed for days. Hoping that you find a bit of happiness here on earth.
