    My dad died in 1975 I was 6 years old and this song got me through the worst of my grief. I just always said it was sung to me by my dad. It still brings me comfort all the years later. AND MY NAME IS MICHELLE.

      I’m Michele, also. But I was BORN in May of 1974, while this song was still in the charts. My name was supposed to be Sharon Anne, but my aunt and uncle had a baby girl three weeks before I was born and they called her Sharon. Another uncle suggested the name Michele. I’ve always wondered if it was because he liked this song.

    Happy 50th anniversary to this song, it was released this time in 1974! It’s early January 2024 as I post my comment. Although this song did not make the top ten songs of 1974, in my opinion it should have; it was that big a hit. May it live on for another 50 years!!

    I think i was about 10 years old when this song came out. enjoyed it then and i still enjoy it now. for some reason it resonated with me. it seemed like the audience had blank stares, while listening to the song. i don't know if it was something that they couldn't relate to or if it was a language barrier and just couldn't understand the words.

    Classic, I remember waking up every morning in 1974 to this song on the radio. Terry Jacks has the same effect as he did then, nothing was ever lost. Truly hauntingly beautiful.

    I didn't truly understand the depth of the lyrics when I was 11 yrs old, but this and Paul McCartney's "My Love" played every day and though I was only a child I fondly remember humming or singing these songs when I was feeling good on my way to play with my friends.

    This was the first 45 record I ever bought when I was a kid. Some neighborhood kids and I got together and formed a singing group. I remember singing this, and "Delta Dawn" to our parents at our 1 and only concert. lol
    Kinda creepy songs to be singing as children now that I think about it. Our parents were probably wondering if they should take us to counseling.
    It is truly a lovely song though.
