> Suze, I never liked this song either Suze and Mia, I can't say I really liked "Seasons In the Sun", but it did have a catchy tune which everyone in high school sang. I just had to look at the lyrics again to see what a maudlin song it really was. A song about premature death with kind of a happy melody. "Goodbye, Papa, please pray for me I was the black sheep of the family You tried to teach me right from wrong Too much wine and too much song Wonder how I get along" Big frickin LOL!!! Upon further research (I must have the same job Muller does:~) ), I found an article on *POP CRINGE MUSIC* which mentions Terry Jacks "Season in the Sun" along with Dan Hill's "Sometimes When We Touch", Bread's "Diary", England Dan & John Ford Coley's "I'd Really Like to See You Tonight", Morris Albert's "Feeling", David Geddes' "Run Joey, Run", and even "Babe" by Styx. These are all songs I listened to on the radio and sang along with the rest of my friends. Mind you I never bought any of the albums (okay, I do have Bread's Greatest Hits), but these were all fun songs that I enjoyed back then. I agree with the article when it stated "For all its flaws, Cringe Music has one redeeming feature: It reaches everyone. You may respond to it negatively, but you respond to it."
