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.
You're My Spirit
The Seekers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're my comfort through the darkest night
When I'm troubled there's one thing I'm certain of
You're my spirit you're the one I love
You're my vision you're what life should be
In your arms I'm safe and sheltered from the stormy sea
Lifted up and carried over every burden every care
Cold and lonely as the road may be
At the end of every journey it's your light I see
There's no doubt or desperation no uncertainty or fear
When you share your love with someone and that spirit bids you clear
Well I don't need a witness and I don't need persuasion
Just send me the power of your salvation
You're my spirit you're my guiding light
You're my comfort through the darkest night
When I'm troubled there's one thing I'm certain of
You're my spirit you're the one I love
Well I don't need a witness and I don't need persuasion
Just send me the power of your salvation
You're my spirit you're my guiding light
You're my comfort through the darkest night
When I'm troubled there's one thing I'm certain of
You're my spirit you're the one I love
You're my spirit you're the one I love
You're my spirit you're the one I love

With all the crap they call music today it's so relaxing and up-lifting to hear this kind of music. I've loved their music since the 60's and it never gets old. Thanks dazbluey
