- Опубліковано 30 тра 2009
- From their farewell concert at the BBC in London July 7 1968."The carnival is over"Not until 1993 did they get together again with Judith as a lead singer.
The lyrics for "The Carnival is over" was written by Tom Springfield and the melody is based on a old Russian folk song.
Judith had to put up a real fight to get
this song recorded as the boys rather would
record another song called "Hummingbird"
instead.But she got her will and it was
recorded first time in 1965.At it's peak this single record was selling 90,000 copies a day in the UK.
RIP Judith , I listen to seekers songs over and over,you have the most beautiful voice and you were fantasy material for male fans all over the world. Fortunately your beautiful voice and face will live forever on UA-cam, CDs, and in higher quality sound on records and cassettes, thank you for the music.
Forget it,media of today are not interested in showing something like this.The only place youngsters can come over this type of music is here on UA-cam if the videos are not deleted then.
Yes you're saying totally true
Howled like a baby at 17, and now 44 years later, Judith does it again. That's how I know it's
true and timeless music.
There is something supernaturally addicting to Judith´s voice and countenance, the motion of her body, face, lips, her dark eyes.
A beautiful lady with a crystal clear voice, and a wonderful group. Nothing like them these days, alas.
Judith sang this song at the Special Olympics. There is no one like her, Judith has a wonderful voice, I could listen to her all night, which I have already done.
Was the biggest hit of 1965 here in Holland.
Judith has one of the Most Beautiful voices I ever heard.
Absolutely beautiful voice!
Argueably the greatest Seekers song , and certainly one of the finest songs ever recorded ....... and we don't even have to mention that stunning, crystal clear, voice , it just speaks for itself !
The carnival is over...R.I.P. Judith ☹️😭
Pure class. A beautiful girl with a clear, operatic and heavenly voice delivering a wonderful moving performance.
I am truly blessed by Judith Durham's voice. We know her voice is wonderful. I will never forget her beautiful voice.
such a beautiful voice its a shame no one can sing the same .
Not really it what makes Judith special .
I still can't believe they were able to perform this song without all of them having tears streaming down their faces. I can see their hearts are breaking in their eyes as they sing.
What a wonderful song. It brings back so many happy memories of friends and times so long ago. This song will never die or be forgotten. It's trully one of the great songs of the past half century. Judith has a mesmering voice - so sweet.
Greetings from the biggest Croatian seekers fan ;
One of the most powerful voices then . Her range is extraordinary from her high note's to her low notes , its stirring
Judith Durham's voice is amazing.
The seekers were the best.
All their songs had much meaning.
Was she an angel? Seriously, what a voice!
She IS an angel now...
1943-2022
This wonderful song was doing the rounds when I split up with my first serious girl friend you move on and I have been very happily married for 42 years but hearing Judith sing this still brings a lump to my throat and a tear to my eye, my wife understands as I do when she cries over Elvis..
This is one of THE greatest songs ever ....
Even now some 55 years after it was hit, this is still as you say one of the greatest songs ever.
In fact I would suggest The Seekers themselves Judith in particular one of if not the the greatest groups/voices ever.
This fantastic performance so simple but will never be bettered.
@@dw69ful yep mate, you're so right ..... no gimmicks, just a simply great performance and an unforgettable song.
When this song was first released I listened to it so often I probably nearly wore the record out. Judith has a voice sent from heaven and I've loved listening to all her songs, but I've always found this one the most moving.
It’s 2020, and this version continues to be wonderful.
Judith is amazing in that she gets prettier as she ages-what a great voice !!!
just beautiful
The combination of the 4 was pure magic
Your right David and they sang themselves into our hearts.
@@Proculled and all the other organs as well!!
The voice of an angel!
Dear Murray, I found you after 44 years. Our "Carnival" will NEVER be over. I will love you forever! (X)
i'm 52 and remember judith and the seekers from earliest memories,
my mum loved them too........ so glad i was around to enjoy one of the finest performers of all time...........
Stunning voice , stunning woman ....awesome band
How can someone have such a voice?
Absoluteness ..... bliss..... longing... I am not sure what else to say....
I grew up listening to these guys in NZ and they will always be very special and among my favs for ever and ever, thanks Seekers. I have to say I love the double bass.
Judith has an inspiring voice - sad yet massively uplifting. What a talent.
Hey guys!! Thank you for bringing this magic to this generation.
Judith has a voice that is perfection!! Thanks for the memories. The 60's memories are sweeter while replaying her songs. Truler lovers do come and go..some we will love until we die; and some we will love forever!!
such a pure and gorgeous voice, and a lovely lovely song, having this played at my funeral,
So am i ... and i can't wait to go now just to hear it!
No me canso de ver y escuchar a este angel en la tierra, por siempre y la eternidad Judith Durham, adorable
ohhh! this is hair raising nostalgia - on a difficult childhood in Ireland in the early 1960's - dont worry too much - I survived - becasue of this and other very beautiful music popular way back then!!! xbx
Judith: A wonderful gift from Mother Nature.
Thanks for Posting.
It"s about eternel love - that is timeless. Many times - when we leave - we do not know - we will never meet again. Those who we love...
2.32 secs. Wow, when she looks straight at the camera, her dark eyes go right through you. I still love this song, even 44 years later.
There's something spiritual that happens when I hear the old Seekers with Judith Durham.
I get so moved and inspired to be a better involved person.
I watch all the seekers videos every day. Hope they will not be deleted They are 100 % better than songs of today
I know not what to say that has not been said so many times before by so many. Unbelievable sound for so many years by this great group.
beautiful song...Judith's angelic face and voice..
Oh oh what a song all carnival is over I will love till I die .it hurts .may God keep you Judith Durham .healthy wealth for ever . I pray.
I absolutely Love this song. Its the first song I can remember hearing as I sat in the car with my mum in NZ as a 5 year old.
My wife thinks I'm nuts as I'll literally sit at my computer and play this song over and over. These guys were class all the way, and what a fantastic voice Judith has
Judith is still singing, now where is Lady GaGa ?? a couple of hits then she faded away, Judith has never and will not fade away.
Stunning Judith Durham. Great orchestration support.
Judith had/has such a beautiful voice and I still get a thrill when I listen to this song to this day
Nice clean video tape footage from the late 60's. Quadruplex footage originally shot in black and white (?)
Good stuff. Judith is so beautiful.
Amazing song
Wasn't she a beauty? Love her voice. We'll never hear this beautiful music again ever!!!
just fantastic we should all treasure theses memories i know i will .i sing carnival is over sometime's on karaoke and my daughter love's it .those's were the day's. true raw talent .thank god for you tube .i am 59 and my kid's are age between 34 &41 they love it when i play a song they haven't heard before.hope you'll agree with me.
Proculled, hear again, and I still wait for 52 seconds when Judith takes control and dominates this great and beautiful song. She is in another zone for the rest of the song, the close up at 1:40 Judith hits a place only she can, beautiful so beautiful.
Yes it's nice to watch,you can come back as much as you like :)
You caught the perfect words to describe it. In every song there is a point in which Judith´s extraordinary vocal ability takes over and bringsthe performance to an emotional level that hits you in the soul. Only she can do that. It is a gift from the heavens.
Judith. Voice of an Angel.
Thanks for posting.
I literally shiver every time I hear this song. I was 13 when it came out so I was more into the Stones, Beatles, Yardbirds, Clapton, etc,...
I'm glad I finally was able to appreciate the endless joy of listening to Judith Durham and the Seekers.
In the late 60s, at my school's farewell party for for those of us who were passing out, there was not a dry eye when this song was played at the very end.
Similar emotions were experienced on the last day at college where 'When will I see you again' by the Three Degrees was played.
Recently, at the end of an old students get together we bid farewell to old friends to 'Dandelion Wine ' by Blackmore's Night.
All these are songs of farewell but, The Carnival is Over is very special.
There are very few female singers that make my skin tingle and Judith is one.
May this carnival never Ends .because show must go on .folks
thanks to youtube, we can watch these treasures, have always loved the Seekers, what a class act, thanks for posting
Still beautifully breathtaking...
Thank you.
Beautiful...
A sincere thank you, Proculled, for this beauty of a song and the many others you've posted that I've enjoyed immensely the last two plus years.
always makes me sad this song....the carnival is life itself...and makes me want to do everything I ever wanted to do...before my carnival is over...brilliant...
And if theres a better solo vocal than this ANYWHERE,I'll eat my hat! Modern-day female vocalists should be shown this,and told "Thats how". Perfection!
Such a beautiful voice and apparently , as I deduct from the video, it was so natural for her.
Wonderful marvellous timeless
Our favorite 4-ever!
Music sweet as wine...voice smooth a velvet. I had the pleasure of hearing the seekers with Andre' Rieu. MAGIC
Judith Durham was the true beauty of her age and boy . could she sing.
A National Treasure!
Pitch perfect and so powerful a simply stunning voice and performance.Just love that Australian accent you sometimes hear.Pax to all from 73soulboy.Xxx.
This is a Russian folk song "From the island to the rod" about the Cossack Stepan Razin.
what a voice! thank you for posting!
The joy of good music will linger in the heart and nourish ones soul for ever.Take care ADonovan43
...a co zagram sobie cudeńko jeszcze raz...:-))
...filozofom pozostawiam wersję Wołga,Wołga, Ruska...
That song ALWAYS makes me cry.
Simply the best female voice of all time and one of my all time favorites. Puts most of the whining banshees of today to shame.
Thanks... for the memories.
right, Richard Fazakas, old is always gold....treasure the moments...
Unique God-given voice. Wonderful stuff.
@clutch1963 You're no nuts! I can sit and listen to these magic voices for hours. Makes me believe that there is still room in the world for beauty and love.
Yes I would say she has a beautiful voice- that may have been coached to sing any style of music .----- Very good.
@Proculled You said it. I'm young for this music's "standards". I come here to enjoy the this wonderful music. Today's stuff is written to the core. Thanks for sharing this WONDERFUL stuff!
So innocent , so beautiful
If angels existed , and they could sing , this is what they would sound like .....stunning.
krasna pesnicka nadherny hlas rad jju pocuvam aj po 45 rokoch a seekers ma svojich ctitelov aj u mladsich posluchacov na slovensku
Judith had the voice of an angel
Beautiful, then and now!!!
pure magic.. this was no1 when i was born in 1965, from an irishman out in beijing china x rory
+archy mac I am 9 years older than you and had the pleasure of listening to the seekers at their height of fame.
This hurts so much, but it's too beautiful not to love. I bet you anything that it was the last song they sang.
No in fact they did a repeat of Georgie girl as their last song.
Wonderful Judith!!!
Tom springfield wrote this classic song dusty,s brother
@clutch1963 Your not nuts. I never tire of listening to these wonderful voices. Makes me think there can be goodness and purity in this world yet.
not many singers like that today!
sorry there is none.
It's so beautifull!
Much better. Thank you for posting the HQ version.
When I was 13, I vowed I was going to marry her.
Can you beat that...no way..
