Song of the Day: 'Seasons in the Sun''



'seasons in the sun'

terry jacks 1974 surprise chart maker


the poet and singer jacques brel's original french recording



the beach boys covered it





nirvana even put a seemingly drug induced spin on it






elly stone an amazing cabaret singer and star of the long running off-broadway show 'jacques brel is alive and well and living in paris' recorded the song with new lyrics to fit her new york style and sensibilities. it was then titled 'goodbye new york'.

i actually sent this to my friends and family when i left new york almost six years ago. it wasn't hard to leave...it's just hard to stay away.
