I get emotional every time I hear this song. Judith Durham, the beautiful little gal with the amazing voice. RIP Judith, you were loved by so many of us.
The combined voices of The Seekers have harmonies to die for. Judith Durhams voice just rings like a bell. I have seen her many times over my life. Her voice is effortless, as if she barely need to take a breath at all.
im so proud of Australia for this group even tho im a kiwi. they also have the best anthem ever in 'I am Australian ' its an earth song echoe for all ages
I'm 70 now and I loved the Seekers growing up and Judith Durham's voice was so pure! I'm glad it was captured along with the guitar's and base on vinyl and original amps of that time! So sad to loose a talent like hers
They were big when I was a teen. Loved their songs but forgot about them through time. Re-discovered them recently. Judith was a phenomenal singer. Was listening to them for about a month then Judith died, I was so saddened by this. Her last song Carry Me amazing.
@robertkf1 I couldn't agree more!! It really annoys me when a song as perfect as this, is paused numerous times. They always to stop it at "It's a long, long journey, so stay by my side. It totally breaks the flow of the song! Dave.
Yes. There's no words that can describe this song and its rendering by the seekers. It transcends space and time. Anyone listening to it anywhere in any generation will be affected by it and love it.
A beautiful song, one of the best! So touching. And how cute and natural is she with her pigtails, basic dress and black tights. Classic and classy. RIP
I was ten when this came out. Loved it. First record I bought, Woolworths, Tunbridge Wells. We'd been living in England from 1961 when we moved here from Makurdi on Benue River in Nigeria. I thought the record worked as a hymn and I had recently become Christian. Delighted to find the B side was 'Open up them pearly gates'. She was a lovely Christian woman and their music was so uplifting that even miserable people (like I would discover my father-in-law would be) were touched and, for a few moments, healed by them
The songs from back in the 50's and 60's were all about love and when you listen to the lyric's and close your eyes you get a feeling about what love is about and it is to bad that now a days there is less love in this World adn we need to go back to the way it was. Great song, thank you Royal Tehillah for playing it and thank you to the Seekers for this beautiful song. 😊❤
Great song reaction such a beautiful song Judith Durham sadly passed away, her voice was amazing we in Australia have lost a beautiful person but her memories will live with us forever in our hearts best wishes and many thanks for sharing another great Australia song if you like to do a reaction is called great southern land by icehouse 👌
Thank you so much for sharing this. I was tearing up along side you hearing this. Amazing how they created so much joy with vocals and three instruments. They will live forever. RIP Judith Durham
I'm in my sixties and this is one of the few songs old and modern, that makes makes me cry. It reminds us there is someone for all of us and that the long-long-journey is worth the treasure when we find it, no matter what it takes to get there. God bless the Carpenters and RIP Judith Durham.
The Seekers, an Australian group, were popular in England when I lived there as a kid (I am American but lived in England,my mother's homeland, during this era -- starting in 1964-- from ages 7 to 18.) Have loved this music since then. Thanks for the nostalgia.
Same studio the Beatles recorded in. We just lost Judith Durham, the lead singer here, last summer 2022. She had pure tone, and beautiful sound, perfect phrasing and breath control...she will be missed. they were from Australia. this was an international hit.
The sweetness, innocence and romantic sincerity of this song express qualities we seem to have lost in the popular culture. Sigh. We’ve given up in favor of mere eroticism or self-obsession.
Isn't Judith's voice beautiful? This band was among the best groups that came from the folk revival of the early and mid '60's. Dang were they ever good.
This is one of the all time great Pop/Folk songs. Judith Durham is superb here, with her sublime lead vocals, riding about an octave above the others - to create a beautiful ethereal feel to the song. The baseline guitars and banjo lay a beautiful instrumental baseline to the song. FTR, I am a retired, professional music critic with 45+ years experience and 60s Pop/Folk music doesn't get much better than this song. 😁👍
When the seekers returned to Australia back in 167/68 they performed at the Myer music bowl in Melbourne to a crowd of 100,000 people. The people of Australia really loved them Judith Durham will be sadly missed
They were extremely popular back in the mid 60s when folk music was a big hit. Listen to their song Georgy Girl sometime. It was more of a pop tune for them and reached number two on the Billboard chart in the US.
I recomend that you listen to ' I am Australian ' and ' Georgie Girl ' by the Seakers. The first one should be the Australian anthem and the second was for a film score.
Check out "Georgia girl extended fan version" They reuse various parts of the song several times. It's beautifully done. I'm also trying to find an early music video using this song. This music group hired a girl dancing in a crowd at a nightclub to be in a music video and they did not know she was for many decades. That young dancer, now a grandmother heard that they were trying to find her. Several other women tried to fake being her. When the real dancer contacted them, they had a wonderful interview and reunion together. I'm sure it was this song. If anyone can help me find it please let me know. Thanks
No disrespect to cilla dusty Helen shapiro sandy sure,list endless in 60s,,but Judith Durham it appeared effortless when singing,,great loss,,ye,to very end her voice stood test of time,,I rest,Jim,cvw
In my opinion, this is close to being a perfect song. The vocal delivery and the beautiful message in the lyrics are incredible!
I get emotional every time I hear this song. Judith Durham, the beautiful little gal with the amazing voice. RIP Judith, you were loved by so many of us.
Thank you too
The combined voices of The Seekers have harmonies to die for. Judith Durhams voice just rings like a bell. I have seen her many times over my life. Her voice is effortless, as if she barely need to take a breath at all.
Thank you for keeping this great music alive . God bless.
Love this song and performance, still makes me teary even at 65 years old, beautiful.
Its so beautiful
A Deeply Soulful and Heartfelt song...
im so proud of Australia for this group even tho im a kiwi. they also have the best anthem ever in 'I am Australian ' its an earth song echoe for all ages
Es tan increiblemente bella y profunda, es imposible no llorar de pura emocion !!! Me eleva el alma 🎶🎵🎶❤❤❤❤
I'm 70 now and I loved the Seekers growing up and Judith Durham's voice was so pure! I'm glad it was captured along with the guitar's and base on vinyl and original amps of that time! So sad to loose a talent like hers
We are all going one day
They were big when I was a teen. Loved their songs but forgot about them through time. Re-discovered them recently. Judith was a phenomenal singer. Was listening to them for about a month then Judith died, I was so saddened by this. Her last song Carry Me amazing.
❤️💛💝
Thanks for not stopping the song every 5 seconds to comment. The song deservers to be heard.
@robertkf1 I couldn't agree more!! It really annoys me when a song as perfect as this, is paused numerous times. They always to stop it at "It's a long, long journey, so stay by my side. It totally breaks the flow of the song!
Dave.
Yes! Irreplaceable! My heart breaks. We miss you dear Judith.
Yes she had an incredible voice, this was recorded the year I was born, and still love it today…
Thats awesome
I loved your reaction to this beautiful song with the heavenly voice of the late great Judith Durham.
We'll never find another you, Judith. RIP.
Saw them live 2016 in Adelaide..They were exactly as they sound recorded,amazing.
BEAUTIFUL VOICE.UNFORGETABLE SONG.JUDITH DURHAM YOU WILL LIVE FOREVER IN MY HEART.
Love the Seekers, and loved your reaction too young lady!
Glad you do
My father was a farmer and he always referred to this song as "The Lonely Ram's Lament"
There will never be another Judith Durham.
@@nickgov66 She made ALL of us cry. For decades.
Catch their last hit - The Far Shore.
Yes. There's no words that can describe this song and its rendering by the seekers. It transcends space and time. Anyone listening to it anywhere in any generation will be affected by it and love it.
I know. This song is so friggin' sweet it makes a grown man cry.
You need to hear Durham sing "Danny Boy". You will be awestruck.
No autotune, sheer talent.
Who needs auto tune when you have a voice like Judith's, R.I.P. Judith........
A beautiful song, one of the best! So touching. And how cute and natural is she with her pigtails, basic dress and black tights. Classic and classy. RIP

My wife loved this song, and now she is gone, and I feel this song and I miss her.
It is well with you💗
Great song, beautiful reactions and observations.

That was a beautiful song! Loved this song! Wonderful reaction! Thank you 😊
You are welcome
❤🎉😢 Hi. I love this song,,, this people,,,,seekers,,,, i love this lletter,,,,, mi corazon llora cada que escucho esta cancion❤
a song that touches your heart
Yes, it does
Try "The Carnival is Over' - it's my favourite Seekers song
Wonderful heartfelt reaction to this song ❤️
The word you are looking for is Authentic.
Awesomeness
It's telling how defensive Judith carries her posture.. like "Don't f*ck with me, people!"
Sincere, maybe that's the word that you are searching for. RIP Judith.
They were recording this At Abbey Road studio while the Beatles were in the smaller studio recording!
Awesomeness

There is no banjo here.
@@jameshenry3530 👍 thanks!
AQUI NO BRASIL ,O TRIO ESPERANÇA GRAVOU UMA VERSAO DE GEORGE GIRL .EM 1966 .FICOU LINDO BEALTIFULL
I think you hit the nail on the head, the sound of the Seekers IS irreplaceable. So sad we don't hear anything like that these days.
When the seekers returned to Australia back in 167/68 they performed at the Myer music bowl in Melbourne to a crowd of 100,000 people.
The people of Australia really loved them
Judith Durham will be sadly missed
So sad
Crowd was 200,000!
They were extremely popular back in the mid 60s when folk music was a big hit. Listen to their song Georgy Girl sometime. It was more of a pop tune for them and reached number two on the Billboard chart in the US.
Yes
What you are hearing is the difference between musicianship from a time when it felt like every note sounded important compared to now.
I lost my husband at 34, ❤i used to sing this when i was little girl 62 now, it is still my party song,for him❤
Wow, may be continue to rest in peace
This's EPIC!!!
Wow💗
I recomend that you listen to ' I am Australian ' and ' Georgie Girl ' by the Seakers. The first one should be the Australian anthem and the second was for a film score.
R.I.P. Judith
Authentic
I love this song. Also, you're too pretty.
Thanks so much
I saw her in Liverpool xx lovely lass Christine from Widnes uk
Lindo👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Genuine
Try "The Carnival is Over"
Check out "Georgia girl extended fan version"
They reuse various parts of the song several times.
It's beautifully done.
I'm also trying to find an early music video using this song.

I'm sure it was this song. If anyone can help me find it please let me know.

The Vietnam War made this song very personal for tens of thousands of young lovers when in first came out.
LOVE
Thanks
Ye,you chose right group from 60s,,ye,fantastic seekers,,history proves all,,thier legacy will be eternally, fact,I rest,Jim,cvw
Thank you
Try Carry Me. Hint: Judith sings about dying. “The bird has flown. Begins the mystery…”
It's not SO old! WHen this came out I had been married 7 years and my son was two years old. Now he's 52 and I'm 77.
Wasn’t Judith’s voice divine. 💕
Never heard “Georgie Girl”?
Not trying to sound disrespectful but this was the swinging 60's, back then it wasn't so multicultural & the only place on earth to create great music

This song is especially poignant to anyone who has loved and lost!
You are only 55 years to late.
