from Oannes *

Οι Seekers ήταν το πρώτο αυστραλέζικο συγκρότημα που έκανε καριέρα σε Αγγλία και Αμερική στη διάρκεια των ‘60s. Ανακάλυψα αυτό το βίντεο, γυρισμένο στα Abbey Studios του Λονδίνου το 1964, “εύγλωττο” ενός καλλιτεχνικού ήθους που στην εποχή μας μοιάζει εξωτικό [μια καλή εναλλακτική λέξη για το “κλασικό”, όπως χρησιμοποιείται στα ‘60s tributes].
Τους ακούμε στο σπουδαίο τραγούδι του Tom Springfield. Πρόκειται για εύρημα, άσχετα αν η “μυθική” Judith Durham ακούγεται ελάχιστα σόλο.

The Seekers were the first Australian band to make a career in England and America during the ’60s.
I discovered this video, shot at London Abbey Studios in 1964, “eloquent” of an artistic ethos that seems exotic in our time [this word would make a fine alternative for “classic,” as people use it in ’60s tributes].
We hear them on a great song by Tom Springfield. This is a find, in spite of the “mythical” Judith Durham’ s limited solo presence.

❝ There’s a new world somewhere
They call the promised land
And I’ll be there someday
If you could hold my hand
I still need you there beside me
No matter what I do
For I know I’ll never find another you
There is always someone
For each of us, they say
And you’ll be my someone
Forever and a day
I could search the whole world over
Until my life is through
But I know I’ll never find another you
It’s a long, long journey
So stay by my side
When I walk through the storm
You’ll be my guide, be my guide
If they gave me a fortune
My virtue would be small
I could lose it all tomorrow
And never mind at all
But if I should lose your love, dear
I don’t know what I’d do
For I know I’ll never find another you
But if I should lose your love, dear
I don’t know what I’d do
For I know I’ll never find another you
Another you
Another you ❞
