Back then "Seasons In The Sun" was on heavy rotation, so when my mom or dad had the radio on, or their friends or a business I would hear it. I never said I liked it, I said it haunted me because of the lyrics about death. I actually don't hate or like it now, but I do understand it now. I didn't back then because I was a kid. To me "Seasons In The Sun" was like watching Jaws, but audio version. It wasn't a love or hate thing, just a scare thing. It had an up and down tone to it, and "We had joy we had fun" only to talk about "it's hard to die". I was a kid listening to a song dealing with death. I didn't know shit back then.
It’ll never cease to amaze me that a country that produced an authentic musical genius like Gordon Lightfoot could also produce a pandering, pop culture abomination like Terry Jacks.
