Their 60s hits included: "I'll Never Find Another You", "A World of Our Own" , "The Carnival is Over" (which the Seekers sung at various closing ceremonies in Australia, including Expo '88 and the Paralympics), "Someday One Day", "Walk With Me", "Morningtown Ride", and "When Will The Good Apples Fall". Their tune "Georgy Girl" in particular served as the title song of the film of the same name. These songs have had significant airplay on 'oldies' radio stations over the years.
Bruce Woodley and The Rain, The Park and Other Things's "I Am Australian", which has been recorded by The Seekers, and by singer Judith Durham with Russell Hitchcock and Mandauway Yunupingu, has become an unofficial Australian anthem.

My Lord what a morning
My Lord what a morning
When the stars begin to fall
My Lord what a morning
My Lord what a morning
My Lord what a morning
You will weep for the rocks and mountains
You will weep for the rocks and mountains
You will weep for the rocks and mountains
When the stars begin to fall
My Lord what a morning
My Lord what a morning
My Lord what a morning
When the stars begin to fall
You will hear the shout of victory
You will hear the shout of victory
You will hear the shout of victory
When the stars begin to fall
My Lord what a morning
My Lord what a morning
My Lord what a morning
When the stars begin to fall
My Lord what a morning
My Lord what a morning
My Lord what a morning
When the stars begin to fall
When the stars begin to fall
When the stars begin to fall
The lyrics of The Seekers' song, "When The Stars Begin To Fall," are a testimony of hope and faith in the face of adversity. The initial repetition of the line "My Lord what a morning" is a phrase of wonder and awe, reflecting the profound joy and anticipation the singer feels. The phrase is repeated three times at the beginning and end of the song, emphasizing the importance and significance of the message being conveyed. It is a call to action, a call to prepare for the arrival of an event that will change everything.
The subsequent lines, "When the stars begin to fall," signify a significant event, the culmination of what many believe is an end time event in Christian theology. This event is described as a time of great sorrow and despair when people will weep for the rocks and the mountains, highlighting the magnitude of the event. The phrase "when the stars begin to fall" is repeated several times throughout the song, emphasizing the importance of the event and how it will impact everyone.
Despite the magnitude of the event, the song offers a message of hope and reassurance. The lines "you will hear the shout of victory" illustrate the triumph of good over evil and the victorious music of redemption. The song intends to inspire hope and faith in humanity, even in the midst of seemingly insurmountable challenges.

I was going to listen to just one Seekers song and go to bed. That was 2 hours ago. They are so addictive.

No gimmicks, no swearing, no raunchyness, no undressing. Just honest singing and musicianship. This group did not need gimmicks. Their voices, harmonies and muscianship said all you ever needed to know about them. In two words, A CLASS ACT
@pastorweaver3473
agreed
@rhyfelwrDuw
Definitely! They could really sing (instead of whining like a lot of modern 'stars' do). As you say, the harmonies are very good and they could play their instruments and sing nicely without having their voices digitally enhanced by a computer!
