Seekers, The - Days Of My Life Lyrics

The first picture was taken the afternoon of June 3, 1967 at Expo 67 in Montreal, their final outdoor performance to be followed by their final indoor performance in the Expo Theatre that evening. I am seated in the bottom row, on Judith's left behind the drum set. After the evening show I was very fortunate that I was able to meet Judith and have a great chat with her, such a lovely lady.

I have followed this superb group since they first appeared in the 60's and have had the joy of seeing them in concert twice ...and Ms Durham solo when she did her first tour as a jazz soloist with The Hottest band In Town. I love this song, beautiful haunting melody but I think it was over-orchestrated and Durham's amazing vocal quality and those soaring harmonies were kinda (?) buried? I wish they had re-recorded it sometime without the clutter.

I too agree that this is a classic. From what I know, this is the last single they recorded before Judith left in 1968. I don't think they ever performed this song again. This being their last recorded song along with the lyrics make this song profoundly poignant.

To my humble ear this has all the quality of a genuine classic. I'm surprised that they didn't resurrect this stunning little beauty when they came back together in the 90s. I suspect it may have enjoyed a much better reception.

I love the song and the video at a castle?

The Seekers: one of the best folk groups ever!

You are wrong. They are THE best! This was their last single together.

@kevin heming It was their final single of the 1960s. But much more was to come during the reunion years from the 1990s! LOTS of it here on YouTube.

Doug Mulley   The last single before their split in the 60's. I've been lucky enough to see them several times from 1966 up to their 50th anniversary concert in London in 2014.

Great melody reminding something far away in the past

I have searched other groups and singers comments on YouTube and never have I seen so many positive and loving comments as this group have. Amazingly it tells you all you need to know about her the seekers and Judith Durham

what a group, still together after many years.

Well done as usual! I really love Judith and this group! Thanks for posting.

How this wonderful rendition did not make it to the top in the Western World I'll never know

Richard Barr the group broke up soon after this release so no tours no promotions

Thanks both of you, that makes sense.

Yes I'm sure you are right. Sorry that they did not tour America again.

The reason it never went anywhere is the same reason why this band never made it in the US....sorry, lousy management. The first thing Oldham did with the Stones is to promote them in the US. The Seekers management couldn't care less about the US and today, the majority of the US don't even know who this band is. Now you know.

James Sero , I wonder what would happen if several of the Seekers songs were just anonymously slipped into the play lists on some popular current musical hit radio stations here in the USA? I wonder if enough people would notice, like I did, first time hearing the Seekers on the radio back in the late 1960s. My first response was "WHO IS THAT FEMALE LEAD SINGER? SHE KNOCKS MY SOCKS OFF!"

A very lovely song.

Love you forever

my mother is a huge fan. she is very ill in hospital. I was going to play this to her but the theme would be too emotional for her. she is possibly too ill to return home. sad.

What an under-appreciated gem.

Fabulous forgotten song.  This was their last single but never even made the Top 40 when released in the spring of 1968 just before their break-up.

It was released on April 26, 1968 in the UK. Mickie Most was the producer.

Thanks for the info, guys. Such a hauntingly beautiful piece and probably not well promoted considering the timing.

Judith: Voice of an Angel.

thanks for posting.

I love this also. Sigh.

Has such a melancholy feel to it. Bring on May 14th in Melbourne.

You said he wished you were 11 years older. I wash you were 15 years younger & I was Australian.

I divide The Seekers' songs into two groups: pop and folk, and I place this song in the top four of all their pop songs. Great melody and lyrics.

What about their excellent gospel/spiritual?

A wonderful song; I couldn't find it on any Seekers' album tracks. Did it ever make it onto an album?

nice song. I give this song a 7. comparing to Georgy Girl which is a (10) in my book.

God this song is great. God the Seekers are great...

One of my favourites with them,such a lovely little song.Love the way she sings it.
