What is the background of the song Season in the Sun?

In fact, "The Season in the Sun" is definitely not a good song, and even very sad. It is the work of French singer jacques brel, formerly known as Le Moribund, published in 196 1. The content of the song roughly describes a man who is suffering from cancer and dying. When facing death, he is reluctant to part with his father, wife and best friend. Buhrer wrote this song with emotion because he found out that he had cancer. After struggling with the disease for more than ten years, he died on 19781October 9 at the age of 49.

Rod McKuen, an American poet and singer who has a close personal relationship with buhrer, translated this song into English "Seasons in the Sun" very early, and recorded it by Kingston Trio, a folk veteran of 1964, but it didn't cause much sensation at that time. Later, Terry Jacks, who had a good relationship with Rod McKuen, re-recorded, and won the American three-week championship on March 2 1974. At first, it didn't get much attention in China, until a few years later, because Kodak's advertisements were wildly popular in Taiwan Province Province. Unfortunately, lead singer Terry Jaxx has disappeared from the music industry. There are not many songs left by the male singer, but this song has become a classic-although to be honest, his interpretation is a bit distorted.

About Terry Jaxx

Terry Jacks, from Canada, grew up in Vancouver and won an art scholarship in high school, but he chose the latter in three industries: architect, professional golf and music, and formed his own band The Chessman, but it was not successful. Once, his band was invited to perform on TV, which introduced him to a beautiful female singer, Susan Pesklevits. They fell in love at first sight, then got married and started cooperation in music.

At that time, the choir seemed to be very popular in the record market, so even if only his wife sang solo, they decided to use the name of the poppy family, and in 1970, they became famous with the song "Which direction are you going, Billy" and won the second place in the United States. Unfortunately, the couple broke up on 1973.

After the divorce, Terry Jaxx continued to struggle in the music industry. Because he plays the guitar well, he was invited to accompany the beach boy. Once when recording, he suggested that the beach boy record the song "Season in the Sun". However, after the recording, the beach boy decided not to let it go, probably because the effect was not satisfactory. Terry liked this song so much that he decided to sing it himself in memory of a good friend who died unexpectedly.

With the author's consent, Terry slightly modified the last paragraph of the lyrics and processed it at a brisk pace to make the song look more relaxed, but it was shelved for a year after completion. One day, he took out the tape and listened to it. It happened that a young newsboy came to his house and heard the song, so he asked him if he could bring his friends to enjoy it.

The young people's reaction made Terry decide to release the song himself. Sure enough, this song caused a sensation in Canada, and American record companies also came here and obtained the distribution rights. 1March, 974, this song not only won the three-week chart, but also became a gold record, with sales exceeding 6 million copies, making it famous all over the world. Soon after, he recorded another Brel work "If You Leave", which was also translated into English by McQueen and achieved good results. It's a pity that he was only a flash in the pan in the music world, and disappeared after one year.

There is another version about the origin of this song, which is hard to say. Anyone who knows the truth can tell me ~ ~ ~

It is said that in the winter of 1963, the United States was freezing. Terryjacks, a Canadian boy who came to the American music scene, was sitting in an unheated room drinking brandy and listening to Le Moribon by French singer jacques brel. I have been in America for many days, but no musician is interested in his music. He looked at a business card that his friend had just given him, copied the last words of a condemned man behind his back, listened to Remaury Bond, looked at the words on the back of the business card, picked up the guitar and began to play gently. ...

"In the 1950s, there were two teenagers in a small town in America. Let's call them a and c for the time being. A and C were born in the same neighborhood and grew up together. They always climb trees, play games and sometimes do something out of line together. Anyway, they are inseparable, even if they go to school in the same class, and so on until high school. Hey, you know what? Although A and C are excellent friends, they have different personalities. A, it's definitely the kind of boy who likes it at first sight. He is energetic, cheerful, sunny, confident and very good at sports, so his popularity is quite good. There are countless girls who secretly love him in the whole school, and he is also the captain of the school football team. Hmm! Very attractive, really attractive to you, right? On the other hand, C's character is just the opposite. He is sensitive and shy, and he is not good at expressing his feelings, but his handwork is great. He can make various models.

"Everything is fine, but God tortures people. He made two boys fall in love with B, a sexy and charming class flower. You can imagine the result, right? C silently watched his friends and lovers together … until graduation, C became a carpenter; A became a truck driver, married B, and gave birth to her daughter Michelle. B also ran a grocery store, which was her dowry. However, in order to make her family live a better life and give her daughter a good education, A has to transport goods across several states or even across the whole United States, so she can only go home once or twice a month to see her family and take a bus to deliver the goods the next day. In contrast, as a carpenter, C is much more relaxed, so he often comes to the grocery store to help B.

"But with the passage of time, B and C became more and more relative, and the two lonely hearts got closer and closer, which gradually produced the feeling of surpassing friends. That feeling lasted for two years, but A didn't notice it at all. He still loves his family and trusts his friends. ...

"1959 In the winter, A was still driving a truck on the intercontinental highway, but the road was closed due to heavy snow, and people had to wait for the road to be unblocked. But A waited for two days, and things didn't seem to get better. The weather forecast said that this bad weather would last for another week, so A turned around and drove home for another three days. At two o'clock in the morning, he finally got home. He got off the bus and called home with great joy, but no one answered. A is very worried. I wonder if her daughter is ill in hospital. He immediately drove to C's house to inquire about the situation at home. He knocked on the door of C's house. There were two people in front of him-his friend and his wife! In this scene, even if A is slow again, he immediately understands what happened. He looked at the two people in front of him and said only one word: "Why?" Where is the answer to this question! A took out his pistol to defend himself, killed his wife and friends, and then drove straight to the police station.

"He could have fled to Linzhou to avoid the death penalty, but he chose to go directly to the police station and try in this state. The jury unanimously passed that he committed the crime of intentional homicide and was sentenced to death. /kloc-0 was executed by the electric chair on February 6, 957. He was put on death row, and three days before his execution, a piece of paper and a pen were stuffed in to write his last words. "

Although legally, A committed the crime of intentional homicide; But among the people, many people think that A is also a great victim morally. As a result, people copied his last words. The last words on the back of the business card that Terry Jaxx got at 1963 were copied by a friend. Terry jacks put A's last words into the song Le Moribon and wrote "Season in the Sun". He played this song for musicians everywhere, but which musician would invest in an unknown person? Finally, he found the beach boy and sang this song to them. This song is great. Beach boys covered the song himself, but unfortunately he couldn't convey the emotion of the song, so terry jacks borrowed the studio to re-record. However, because their album was full at that time, the song was not included. It was not until ten years later, 1973, that this song finally became popular, and there were many cover versions.

Westlife:

Westlife's interpretation has no intention of pushing this song to the top. Their voices with Irish accents and the use of bagpipes give this song a strong Irish flavor. Coupled with their almost perfect cooperation and young sunny faces, they are loved by many fans.

"Season in the Sun" is a song with double meanings. It has been on the charts for four weeks in a row, becoming the band's last no.1 single in the 20th century,No. 1 in the new century. It is obvious that its charm is great!

So far, this song has become a classic of Westlife's cover.

The real author of this song is French singer jacques brel, formerly known as Le Moribond, published in 196 1. At that time, Jacquez Brel found that he had cancer, so he wrote this sad song. After struggling with the disease for more than ten years, he finally died in 1978 at the age of 49. Rod Mckuen, an American poet and singer who has a good personal relationship with buhrer, translated this song into English very early, and recorded it by Kinston Trio, a veteran ballad, at 1964, but it did not cause much sensation at that time. Terry Jacks had a good relationship with Rod Mckuen, who was accompanying the then star band Beach Boy. Once, when recording, he suggested that the beach boy record the song "Season in the Sun". However, after the recording, the beach boy decided not to let it go, probably because the effect was not satisfactory. Terry liked this song so much that he decided to sing it himself in memory of a good friend who died unexpectedly. With the author's consent, Terry slightly modified the last paragraph of the lyrics and processed it at a brisk pace to make the song look more relaxed, but it was shelved for a year after completion. One day, he took out the tape and listened to it. It happened that a young man brought a newspaper to his house. After hearing this song, he asked if he could bring his friends to enjoy it. The young people's reaction made Terry decide to release the song himself. This song has been at the top of the national charts for three consecutive weeks since1March 2, 974. It became a golden record and sold more than 6 million copies. It was a household name at that time.

There is another story background:

Singing this only feels like a farewell to the past, although its sadness may be covered by a slightly cheerful tune. ....

It is said that this is a last word:

The story took place in the United States in the 1950s. It's a small town, that kind of simple and simple town.

A and C, two childhood friends. They are two very different people.

A is the captain of the school football team. He is handsome and handsome. He is a very popular boy at school.

C, shy and skillful, he is always a loner, but it is good to be friends with A.

Yes, A and C were close friends until B appeared in their lives.

B, cheerleaders, like those born for A, were cheerleaders and captains of football teams in the United States in the 1950s.

Just like the school flower and school grass now. They fell in love naturally.

And c, as everyone thinks, has always had a crush on B.

However, B will not notice him. She is brilliant and dazzling, a meteor in the vast starry sky.

She is destined to need the deep companionship of the night sky to shine the most dazzling light.

There is not a twinkling star.

The story goes on, 1956, A, B, C, graduated.

At that time, graduating from high school meant entering the society.

And A and B tied the knot in everyone's blessing.

B runs this grocery store, which is the only place in town that sells things. This is her dowry.

A is a strong man. He became a truck driver and traveled all over the United States, running for his family.

C, or secretly love B, deliberately, without any purpose, has been secretly in love.

He became a carpenter because of his dexterity, of course.

When A is often away from home, C assumes the responsibility of a man.

Goods and repairs ... come and go, and feelings spread silently between them.

This is doomed to be a tragedy. Anyone who sees this place can guess.

This tragedy stems from excessive trust.

Trust your wife and friends.

However, everything was lost.

The relationship between B and C developed rapidly, and C became a frequent visitor to A and B's house, especially when A left.

/kloc-in the winter of 0/959, the United States encountered a rare snowstorm.

Expressway was closed, and A got off the bus and decided to return soon.

When is the communication really underdeveloped, and no one knows that A is back?

Especially b and C.

Shockingly, it is not hard to imagine.

Pushing open the door, he saw the messy clothes.

He saw his best friend and his wife in bed.

The world collapsed at that moment.

He used to be very happy, a good friend, a wife and a lovely daughter.

Everything will end this winter.

He is stupid. He's crazy. He raised his gun. ......

Two lives, one death.

A was sentenced to electrocution on February 1960.

Three days before the execution, he got a blank sheet of paper and wrote his last words.

So, with this song "Season in the Sun":

This may be because it is a last word, so the artistic conception is particularly beautiful.

Explain,

Unlike what you often see, they all mean that we have fun and we have fun.

Westlife's version is that we have fun and we have fun.

The original version uses "you" to express that the author wants to be happy forever, but death is approaching, which is never possible.

Beautiful girls are everywhere. Think of me and I will be there.

Personally, this sentence is the crowning touch, which is quite ironic.

The author seems to be describing the beauty of heaven, with many beautiful women and a little fancy.

However, I really sincerely hope that I won't make the same mistake again.

He and his best friend will never fall in love with the same woman again.

Michelle is his daughter and will be orphaned because of his death, which makes him very uneasy.

I hope we can all be there, which means that the author hopes to restore vitality and reduce troubles in life.

Maybe everyone will wonder, why not sing his wife?

Because that's his privacy, he doesn't want to talk about it any more.

The whole song is always full of sadness and irony, which is the last feeling of a condemned man.

It's a review of my life, and it's my last words to my friends, father and daughter.
