I'm sat on the floor of my childhood home sorting through photographs, years of memories in cupboards and drawers, now that both mum and dad have passed. My play list is from the 70s , memories of my mum turning up top of the pops, dad moaning about long hair 😊 and me growing up surrounded by love and support and tears are flowing . This being an adult hurts like hell 😞
I am almost in tears as I heat this son discover and learn then.. I am almost g. It brings back both happy and bittersweet memories of my 14th summer, 1972, there was so muchtodiscover and learn then. I am nearly 65 now, and at times I feel.so wearyand burned out from this world, especially the last two years.
One of my favourite songs of all time. Brings back happy childhood memories and my lovely mum & dad. God I miss them so much and great music like this xx
Me too.I have very happy memories singing this song with my cousin's and my brother at my Grandma's in Droylsden Manchester.We pretended to be The New Seekers .Why is it that happy childhood/teen makes me sad ? The song Memories says it all, ' Could it be that it was all so simple then , or has time rewritten every line , and if we had the chance to do it all again , tell me would we , could we.Memories may be beautiful and yet what's too painful to remember, we simply choose to forget .😢
As another here has said, this is a hauntingly beautiful song. I remember it, just, from 1972 when I was only 8 or 9. It reminds me of a happier time and place. I'd go back to that time and place if I could. Unfortunately, it's gone forever and I can never return.
I was 10 lying in a boat in the sunshine which my brother was rowing on Haggerston Castle lake in the north of Northumberland. Such a vivid memory of when my whole life was ahead and now I’m 61 and hating what this country has become
I can't explain how much my spirit embraces this song! I want to hold it in my arms and feed it birthday cake and stay there forever! ♾️♾️♾️😱🌟✝️😭💜❤️💙🩵💚💛🧡❤️💜
I saw the New seekers in concert in Glasgow twice. I loved them and I loved their songs. I still have a signed programme. I remember opening a wee door to get out after the concert. You could have blown me over with a feather when right infront stood Eve Graham with the group behind her. Me and my friend were speechless! I was only 13 and too shy ...oh how I wish I had said something. We shut the door fast 😂😂😂
Have always loved this......reminds of the early 70s when they were on Cliff Richard's Saturday night show on the BBC every week.....with Olivia Newton John and Una Stubbs as well. Wonderful days......brilliant harmonies from both Eve & Lyn.🍁🍂
This song suddenly started circling in.my head today and i dont know why so i came looking for it. I was 8 years old when.it was in the UK charts great to hear it again.
@@jonnymoonbeam1030 1972 brings back a lot of happy personal memories for me, the long six weeks UK school summer holidays is one special time, playing football with my friends and my brother " go carting" , just mucking around , good time !
One of my all time favorites...and it just about sums up my life which I struggle to understand at times. Eve Graham is such a wonderful singer and a beautiful girl.
According to history books, 72 was one of the most violent years in American history. Vietnam was on-going, kids were burning their draft cards and running off to a better country, Canada. women were protesting unequal rights, The civil rights movement was fighting in the streets. The Black Panther Party preached violence. Georgia's Governor George Wallace was shot and paralyzed by Arthur Bremer. The Munich Summer Olympics had a massacre that occurred wherein Palestian Guerillas killed Jewish Athletes. Back home President Nixon was discovered to be mastermind behind the Watergate break-in that led to Nixon being the only president to resign in disgrace.
@@keathgraham2742I think that it was a very different world for most of us here. Happy memories of being a kid with our families still alive and listening to music like this on Radio One.
when we are young we are vulnerable ,when we become teenagers we become more aware of whats around us ,when we become adults we become more responsible in live ,(well should do ) ,when we get older and listening to music like this song we look back at our younger years and for alot of ppl it brings back sad memories which is hard to look back at 😥..........tears
takes me back to my childhood when i wàs 8 and that is a good thing when life was in front of you, I am now 59, and love this cos it takes me back to 8 x
I was born in 1978 and this style of music is all I play when singers could sing and this world was a much better place god how much i would love to go back, god bless all stay safe
well im 52 and this is first single 45 I ever bought and I remember like its yesterday the words are very true so true about the 46 years wow where did it all go
Diary Of a chronic Pain Sufferer This brings back memories of coming out of hospital for the hundredth time - age 3 and my auntie buying me Rupert bear for being brave.... I used to love this song - because I knew from a very early age I was reincarnated....I kept singing it over and over again! My auntie bought me the single -
The new seekers were a great group loved all their records loved lyn paul was such a babe and peter doyle was a pin up not always marty kristian all the time its about time RCA records brought out on cd skin deep peter doyle album from 1976
I saw the New Seekers live in 1972. The noise from all the screaming, hysterical girls was unbelievable! It was Marty Kristian's birthday and, being a lovelorn teen, I bought him a shirt and a big card . I was able to go backstage after the show to give them to him. I'd put my phone number inside the card, and he called me up next day for another chat. I was over the moon! The other girls at school said they were green, white and blue with envy. Marty was a big.star in the magazines at hat time and loads of girls had a crush on him. I was bombarded with calls and post, with everyone wanting to know what he was like. And I ended up with lots of friends and penpals that I didn't have before. I have to smile now, but that teenage crush was quite a whirlwind!
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)
Written by Harry Chapin. His version from Greatest Storied Live will be played at my Celebration of Life. "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."
It’s so strange to me that this song was re-recorded round about the same time as the original version as they are both very similar . If you listen to the album version ( that’s the version I remember them playing on radio one ) after they sing …. ‘And so far no dead ends ‘ they sing the chorus before going into ‘ I’ve found you a thousand times ‘. Such a small difference but it’s there and I also like the vocals better on the original too . I’m sure to a lot of people no one would notice the difference . There is only one ‘original’ posting of this on TH-cam . Such a hard song to find and I bought the remastered cd just for this track . It’s always been one of my favorites . Please don’t think this is a criticism of the post . Not at all I was just voicing my opinion as to why it was re-recorded . Maybe someone can let me know 😊

Yes, a lovely memory jerking song but You sadly missed '55 to '60, "The Rock and Roll Years!
First time I've listened to this in 30 years. Tears. Peter Doyle is magnificent. God, what we've lost....

Im nearly 65 and I don't know why suddenly this song popped into my head. Haven't thought about it in over 50 yesrs 😂
Still loving this after over 40 odd years.
Still loving this after now 50 years. 👍👏🎤🎶
I loved the New Seekers and this is one of their best tracks.
Indeed & one I never forget the lyrics 😊
I met Eve once and was able to tell her how much I loved the New Seekers take on this.
OMG the memories of my childhood hearing this song again 😭 💙
Lovely song! I liked everything the New Seekers sang. Great harmonies. It has been 20 years since Pete Doyle died,
16 when this came out loved the new seekers as they say the years keep rolling by
best ever music The New Seekers.....great times
Magic music, don’t you just love it, Wow.
Lovely song by The New Seekers. 🥰
December 2024. Still listening!
These songs bring back to when I was growing up
A great pop group with such catchy tunes.
50 years old peeps! " the years keep rollin' by..."
A beautiful song
great early 70's music !
My god this song was out when I was in first year at caldervale High school airdrie takes me back to my youth sounds as good today as it did then.
Reminds me of my last year in school 1972 what a time to be 15.
You were lucky, if you were 15 after 01.09.1972 you would have had to stay in school for another year.
Me too!
I'm pushing 56 now and the older I get, the more I realise the truth of this song.
I'm 56 too! This song brings back so many happy memories from the 70's!
I'm 56 too, and I reckon that we might have won the Eurovision with this song! Easy to sing. And meaningful. Happy days!
Zephaniah3verse17 I feel exactly the same
well im 52 and this is first single 45 I ever bought and I remember like its yesterday the words are very true so true about the 46 years wow where did it all go

Forgot about this one until i heard a snippet on a top-selling singles compilation video………. A proto-Abba sound………great song
It was my first single so many years have gone since then
Brilliant especially Eve Graham 😀
Eve Graham. Fantastic singer, and the other members of course.
A wonderful cover of Harry Chapin's classic hitting the UK top 5 in 1972. Eve Graham is on brilliant form here.
Great music from a great time.👍
I just love this song.
Timeless .
Brings back memories
From a Prog Rock and NWOBHM lover. This is a song I will always love.

Keith Potger. member of The seekers Aussie group...he started The New Seekers off🎶🎵👍👍👍fact...
One of my favourites still got album
I heard Tom Chapin do this in the fall of 1971 on a show called "Make A Wish." And I heard this while I was visiting Dublin the following summer.
Yeah! Just before going into hospital 😺👶🥛🧪🧫
I remember the summer of 1972, when my family visited relatives in England. My cousin HATED this song.
Written by fabulous songwriter Harry Chapin
RIP Peter Doyle,
I remember the video which went with this on TOTP, they were on a Ferris Wheel
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)
Circle vere good song Peter boxall
A delightful song from a golden age of pop music. Whoever wrote this gem must have made a fortune from the Coke adds!

Thank you Harry Chapin.
My life is more of a square. Great song!
Written by Harry Chapin. His version from Greatest Storied Live will be played at my Celebration of Life.
"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."
This beautiful song cherish life we have I really do hope we get a second chance.
As a Belfast child growing up loved the New Seekers how did Beg steal or Borrow not win Eurovision
Great. Song❤
Harry Chapin song! First time I heard someone else sing it!
Happy carefree teenage years, I then joined the British army!
Written by Harry Chapin as 'Circle' and released on his 1972 album Sniper. I prefer this version even though the NS production sounds ropey! Cheers
Hugh Terry I put both versions in my Chapin playlist.
Very good song but the 45 version is the truly sublime one.
I liked the New Seekers & Middle of the Road.
Who doesn't
I play this song when my computer give me that bloody circle.
Lovely
I'm in love with Eve Graham xxxx

I have a preference for Harry Chapin's version (he wrote it), but this is pretty good too.
Wish I was 14 again!!
let's go round one more time - as the song says
1972 hits
Do you know thi Waterhouses? Bill's older sister. Adelaide, SA.
She babysat me in thi 60s. Took me out to nightclubs sometimes.
A Waterhouse was working on roads doing pipes on street Mitra 10. Ararat. He looked like Bill. Could be one of his kids I suppose.
