    I'm 81, an old geezer. But this song still grabs me, shakes me around, and let's me down gently. As it did many years ago. I'm happily married to the most wonderful woman in the world. I don't deserve her. This song tells her in a way I can never do.

    RIP Judith. Since I was a young boy, through grade school, high school, young adulthood - this song has brought me to tears. I'm 58 now, and I can't imagine anyone else singing this song and deliver it just like this. To me, the lyrics of the song are simply put - about the most important aspect of human life. I'll always cherish this song.

    A wonderful group..Judith Durham, with a voice like a bell - and no one ever heard of "auto-tune" in those days - she was pitch perfect and clear as glass.....one of the (if not *the*) finest voices in at least a generation....even 25 years later.

    The Carnival Is Over is another of my favourites. Her voice was enchantment on its own but with harmonies from these guys it just made magic happen. Keith of course went on to teach the world to sing etc with the new seekers and although they were great, they didnt have Judith. She will be missed but her music never will.

    Well, I'm misting up again. This song brings back the fondest of memories. In February of 1965 my ship arrived in Sydney where we moored just south of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. The night before I had the pleasure of hearing this incredible song on my Sony radio while relaxing on deck prior to arrival in Sydney. We arrived about the same time as this song hit #1 on the charts. The Seekers became an instant favorite of mine.

    I remember being a ‘car headlamp flasher’ to Radio Caroline - with my girlfriend Sue. 53 years of marriage on she is in a Carehome with advanced dementia. I play her this song and sing along, her face comes to life and I get a loving smile of recognition, she holds my PPE gloved hand and beats time - which makes my life... Thank you Seekers!! Frank
    (Since posting my message I’m very sad to say that my dear Susie died from a chest infection in November 2021. I was with her as she went - and THE song was sung…. Our youngest daughter put a video projection together for the well-attended funeral and (needless to say) the sound track was …”I’ll never find another you”.)
    Thanks for your many kind comments!
    Today I learn Judith Durham has died…. The song so true of her as well my Sue. May she rest in peace - and sing again!

It actually makes my eyes water that this song is so amazing that, after all these years, it can still move me, emotionally, as much as it does. I don't just hear with with my brain. I hear it with my soul. Thank you, Seekers.

      It is a song about that one person we all long to spend the rest of our lives with. If it does not move you every time, it is because you have a callous heart. I cannot tell you how many times I have heard comments almost identical to yours. We are all lucky to have been here to experience the Seekers.

    I loved the Seekers, especially the 12-string guitar which I've always found uniquely uplifting. I can never view this clip in the Apple studios enough. I love the way Judith stands there with her hands on her hips and belts out a flawless vocal. I can't explain it, really, but she always somehow looks defiant to me. Great instrumentals + great vocals = sheer brilliance. Forever in my memories!

All different stances, different statements, but oh, so equally powerful and uniquely their trademark and gift to the world of song and dance!

    Wonderful band with brilliant music. The 60s, 70s and 80s were the best decades for music. The rug was pulled out from under the music industry starting in the 1990s. Now it’s all synthesizers, pitch perfect voice altering software and of course don’t forget the 20 background dancers all thrusting their crotches at the camera to divert attention from the horrible singers.

    I'm 74 and a being of student-run college radio in the US midwest in the late 1960s. I've heard it all when it comes to the '60's music. The Seekers weren't especially on my radar other than "Georgie Girl".
    However, as a retiree replaying music, I fell in love with a lot of their music, including "Another You". Early in Summer 2022 I scoured TH-cam for everything I could find on them, especially Judith Durham. There was something truly magical about her voice and smile. The news of August was personally truly devastating to me. And then her death was dramatically overshadowed by the loss of Olivia Newton-John a mere 3 or 4 days later.
    Judith Durham and her beautiful voice and talent were truly a gift to mankind. The beauty of her voice and music live on in accompaniment with the 3 gentlemen as she rests in peace. May her memory be for a blessing.

I'm a Boomer and remember them from my music days but recently rediscovered the group here.Their music and blend of their voices are so unique. How uplifting to hear them. The lyrics and chords in this song are goose-bump worthy. And to rich963: A masterful video. The segue from performance to performance of the song didn't miss a beat and was in the same key.

    As a cynical engineer, tears don't come to me that easily, but this is the one song that does it every time. My dad died in late '64, and this was a hit a couple of months later; my mom couldn't bear to hear it because she knew she "would never find another you". She never did. And even apart from that association in my mind, this is a great song brilliantly performed. There are very few cover versions because nobody else could touch it; they certainly couldn't make it better than what came out of Abbey Road 56 years ago.

    Judith Durham was the lead vocalist for the group between 1962 and 1968, the period of their greatest popularity in the US, crowned by the theme song for the movie "Georgy Girl," which was a bit of a departure from their folk song origins. The group disbanded, then reformed for retrospectives in 1975-1991, with other female leads. During that period, Durham pursued a solo career and composed. Durham rejoined the group and sang lead from 1992-2019, surprisingly retaining the purity of her voice over those decades. She is one of the few popular singers with classical voice training, and it shows. She also trained in classical piano and guitar. In 2013, Durham suffered a stroke that diminished her ability to read and write musical scores, but her singing voice was not affected. She remains one of the finest female vocalists of the 20th century, and beyond. A true legend.

      After Judith's brain hemorrhage, and meeting an Australian girl at an open mike night, the following composed itself in my head. After I sent it to Judith, an aide replied that she was thrilled with it. The tune should be self-suggestive:
      Hey there, Judith Durham
      Leading up The Seekers through the years
      You and all your mates gave us lots of fun
      And memories too - then suddenly
      Hey there, Judith Durham
      You had quite the nasty scare that May
      But your mates stood by you all the way
      And you pulled right through
      You ne’er were scared of changing and rearranging yourself
      Nor scared of jumping down from the shelf
      More than a little bit
      Hey there, Judith Durham
      You had quite the rocky road ahead
      But you brought out all the strength you hid
      And, oh, what a change there's been
      The world has seen a new Judith Durham
