1974年 Terry Jacks 的暢銷曲“Seasons in the Sun”是由法國籍作曲人 Jacques Brel 原作
“Le Moribond”所改寫的，Terry Jacks 翻唱1964年THE Kinston Trio 所唱 Rod McKuen 改寫的英
語版。
很多畢業晚會裡畢業生會唱'we are
joy we are fun we are seasons in the sun'，但內行的長輩會說不要在這樣的場合唱這首歌，因為那是一首死亡搖滾。
這首歌的作者對所有人與事說再見，Michelle是借用Jacques Brel的妻子之名。
然而也有樂評人認為改編過的此曲是對原作的一種令人作嘔的模仿，完全缺乏原作的悲悵和黑色幽默，翻譯的效果不太好，還有Brel的“Le Moribond”對他即將來到之死更為直白。
The Poppy Family因為是Terry Jacks與Susan
Jacks夫妻檔組成，一度被形容為加拿大的The Cowsills。Terry Jacks與Susan Jacks後來分手從事各自的歌唱生涯。
Terry
Jacks的“Seasons in the Sun”1974年初推出後獲得Billboard Hot 100連續3周冠軍，但The Poppy Family1970年獲得連續2周第2名的名曲“Which Way You Goin’ Billy? ”更曾經是在台灣非常受歡迎的歌。

Seasons in the Sun
Lyrics：Jacques Brel / Rod
Mckuen
Goodbye to you, my trusted friend
We've known each other since we were nine
or ten
Together we've climbed hills and trees
Learned of love and ABCs
Skinned our hearts and skinned our knees
Goodbye my friend, it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
Pretty girls are everywhere
Think of me and I'll be there
We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed
Were just seasons out of time
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 got along
Goodbye Papa it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
Little children everywhere
When you see them, I'll be there
We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song
Like the seasons have all gone
We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song
Like the seasons have all gone
Goodbye Michelle, my little one
You gave me love and helped me find the sun
And every time that I was down
You would always come around
And get my feet back on the ground
Goodbye Michelle, it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
With the flowers everywhere
I wish that we could both be there
We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the stars we could reach
Were just starfish on the beach
We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the stars we could reach
Were just starfish on the beach
We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song
Like the seasons have all gone
All our lives we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed
Were just seasons out of time
