The immortal Jacques Brel singing Le Moribond (The Dying Man). With English subtitles.
Seasons in the Sun was a world-wide hit for Terry Jacks, widely covered by Indies bands like Kurt Cobain’s Nirvana and Pearls Before Swine. It was a mawkish adaptation of Brel’s Le Moribond, his portrait of a dying man’s good-bye to his faithful friend, the priest whose religion he could not share, his unfaithful wife and her lover, his friend. Facetiously, he invites them all to have a good time as they bury him. This is a 1961 performance, the year the song was written.
