 |
Terry jacks released this song 1974...the
original song is from Jacques Brel (Ne me
quitte pas)
Lyrics:
If you go away
On a summer day
Then you might as well
Keep the sun away
All the birds that flew
In the summer sky
And our lovers knew
And our hearts were high
And the days were young
And the nights were long
And the moon stood still
With the night birds song
If you go away (3)
But if you stay
I'll make you a day
Like no day has been
Or will be again
Well sail on suns
Well ride on the rain
Well talk to the trees
Well fly with the wind
But if you go away
And I love you so
They'll be nothing left
In the world you know
Just an empty moon
Full of empty space
Like an empty look
I see on your face
If you go away (3)
But if you stay
Ill make you a day
Like no day has been
Or will be again
Well sail the suns
Well ride on the rain
Well talk to the trees
Well fly with the wind
If you go away (3)

| Seasons In The Sun - Terry Jacks 1974 |
 |
Seasons in the Sun" was a worldwide hit song
for Terry Jacks in 1974. It was first
released in the United States and Canada
early in the year, and rose to number one in
America by March 2. An earlier recording
appeared on The Kingston Trio's 1963 album,
Time to Think. The song had also been done by
English band The Fortunes in 1968, and by
Pearls Before Swine in 1970/71.
The song was based on "Le Moribond" ("The
Dying Man"), written by Jacques Brel in 1961.
Brel's song was translated into English by
poet Rod McKuen and this version was first
recorded by Bob Shane of the Kingston Trio,
but it did not sell. The Beach Boys also
recorded the song but it was never released.
Terry Jacks, who had participated in the
Beach Boys recording, and who had in fact
introduced the song to the group, rewrote
part of the lyrics to "lighten them up."
Jacks' revisions tended to add a bit of
ambiguity as to the nature of the
storyteller's demise, allowing listeners the
option to choose whether the death is from
suicide over a failed life - quite possibly
to escape drug addiction - or someone
accepting death from natural causes, or
cancer. References to a cheating wife were
also removed.
