In the name of Fair Use and Creativity I uploaded this video only for Educational Purpose, that is Learning English with Music and synchronised Subtitled Karaoke Lyrics on Screen...“Seasons in the Sun“ is an English-language adaptation of the song “Le Moribond“ by Belgian singer-songwriter Jacques Brel with lyrics by American singer-poet Rod McKuen. It became a worldwide hit in 1974 for Canadian singer Terry Jacks and became a Christmas Number 1 in 1999 for Westlife. The Jacks version is one of the fewer than forty all-time singles to have sold 10 million copies worldwide. The song is a dying protagonist’s farewell to relatives and friends. The protagonist mentions how hard it will be to die now that the spring season has arrived (historically, spring is portrayed as the season of new life). Jacks’ version was recorded in Vancouver in 1973 by Jacks and his wife at the time, Susan Jacks. They made the decision to record the song when the Beach Boys, who recorded a version with Terry Jacks producing, decided to abandon their recording.
Although prior English language versions had attempted to retain the sarcastic tone of the original French song, Jacks opted to make it more sentimental. In each verse, the protagonist bids farewell to someone important in his life:
The first verse references “a trusted friend“ that he had known since he was “9 or 10“. The original specifically names the friend as “Emile“, which the Jacks’ versions does not.
The second verse references the protagonist’s father (who unsuccessfully tried to warn him of his lifestyle); this verse differed from the original as it was sung in a manner which downplayed the original’s bitter tone of regret.
The third verse references “Michelle, my little one“ (implied to be his daughter, who will now grow up without her father). This verse completely replaced the third and fourth verses referencing infidelity in the French original....
I do believe that listening to this wonderful song is a unique communication and in addition to that I do respect musicians, composers, performers, producers, poets, lyricists...
