Seekers, The - The Music Of The World A-Turnin' Lyrics






I hear the music of the world a-turnin';
Can't you hear the sound of the world a-turnin'?
If you stop and listen, you can hear things grow;
You can have music wherever you go.
I hear the music of the world a-turnin';
There are some folks laughin'; there are some folks cryin'.
Kids playin' in the streets sound sweeter than a choir;
All you gotta do is listen to...

Hear the music of the world a-turnin'
Can't you hear the sweet sound of the world a-turnin'.
If you stop, look, and listen, you can almost hear things grow;
You can have music wherever you go.
I hear a symphony of traffic in the city;
There are horns a-blowin'; there are heels a-clickin'.
Hear those ashcans rattlin' as the sun begins to rise;
All you gotta do is listen to...

Hear the music of the world a-turnin'
Can't you hear the sweet sound of the world a-turnin'.
If you stop, look, and listen, you can almost hear things grow;
You can have music wherever you go.

Windgot a special song for each and every day;
It's got the waves a-dancin' and the thunder clapping.
Now, don't just ignore itÑthere's a concert all around you;
All you gotta do is listen to...

Hear the music of the world a-turnin'
Can't you hear the sweet sound of the world a-turnin'.
If you stop, look, and listen, you can almost hear things grow;
You can have music wherever you go.

You can have music wherever you go.

Seekers, The The Music Of The World A-Turnin' Comments

    In an earlier comment hedwegg argues that the participation of the male singers in this very dynamic rendition is just to follow Judith´s singing and performance. The proof that this is not so can be obtained by watching the special solo tv show of Judith for the Australian TV, recorded some months later. This was probably the first major performance in her solo career and it is clear by comparison that the support from the male harmonies was badly missed. Note that I am not criticizing Judith´s admirable voice but the fact is that those four singers/musicians working together were indeed a very special group and the male harmonies ( work of Keith) were an essential part of their huge success. One thing is having a beautiful voice and singing like an angel, and a completely different thing is reaching the top of the music charts with high quality music. This later achievement was due to the Seekers as a GROUP, and should be widely recognized.

    Maybe unfair to compare one recording of Judith with her history with the Seekers. In the years to follow she demonstrated a virtuoso solo ability, maybe unmatched by any other performer, and I believe you can see this in her jazz recordings as well as her many songs done in any number of different styles. Most of the songs I listen to (mostly on my iPod) are of her solo performances although I of course enjoy her with the Seekers as well. IMHO she really developed a superlative voice after the Seekers' breakup in 1968.

    @J Bidd Hi. In reality I have access only to what is available in youtube, which probably does not cover much of what Judith did between 1968 and 1993. In particular there was the fantastic "climb every mountain" album of 1971, which surprisingly never became a cd, and neither (?)was followed by other similar recordings. I have just watched the biographical movie on Elton John and it seems obvious that not moving to America had a tremendous effect upon how the Seekers have not received a wider recognition either as performers or in financial terms.

    @Osvaldo Schilling Sorry for the late reply -- I hope you can view this. All the songs I have featuring Judith are taken off of YouTube, and there are dozens of them covering the years 1970 through 2014 (believe it or not!). Just for starters:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhtgK0IVAiE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POd4L64oG1s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1-oyqSjOAQ and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ub1YYKbqjE8 and finally, performed in 2009, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18BeH4K6wb0 There are many more, all of them demonstrating how she developed into a one-of-a-kind talent.

    A Look at Judith Durham: "A Seekers Historical First":
    Judith Durham, for the "first time", on stage & in video,
    clearly & definitively shows the emotional make up of a
    Great "Singer & Performer", the success of the Seekers
    as a group. How? The three (3) male Seekers are performing
    "without their instruments". They are simply staying in pace
    with Judith's singing & performance.
    Point: The Mystery of the Seekers is Judith Durham.
    "25 years" passed before the secret was revealed again!

    Look at Keith Podger. He is truly enjoying in this song.
