"Morningtown Ride" is trending

After her brain haemorrhage in 2013, a doctor said to Judith Durham: "Can you sing me a bit of a song? "And of course I said, Morningtown Ride. Just to make sure I could still sing." The soundtrack to countless childhoods, this one. #RIPJudithDurham https://t.co/df8DRJjb9G

Judith Durham: Former Seekers lead singer dies aged 79. Music from my childhood. Morningtown Ride was very special. A wonderful singer, RIP https://t.co/wvPUwQ9Fvy

My Mum loves the Seekers. She used to sing us Morningtown Ride as a lullaby. Now she does the same to her grandkids. Our 3yo Henry can sing every word. RIP Judith Durham.

A good day to tweet Seekers songs this. Vale Judith. Morningtown ride. It's a beauty for singin' the kids to sleep. https://t.co/QsdfbBO2BC

Raising a glass to Judith Durham. As a nipper I was mesmerised by Morningtown Ride. Played it over and over. Now that I think about it, it was probably my introduction to the concept of metaphor. And oh, that voice. One of the loveliest in popular music. https://t.co/PdfimRHqN1

Morningtown Ride from the Seekers - twice a hit in the '60s - was part of my parent's singles/45s record collection and is a song which triggers a visceral reaction in me. I suddenly feel about five and teary. RIP Judith Durham. What a voice! https://t.co/ckhzdm5Px7

Thanks for all the music Judith Durham. Morningtown Ride was a special favourite through my eldest's many hospital visits. 💔 https://t.co/U1rF7ojP1b

Oh, I cried. Judith Durham has left us. RIP. The first song I performed as a kid, was Morningtown Ride. We made a train out of cardboard boxes at sunday school and I did the solo. Oh Judith. Sing for us today. 🙏❤️ https://t.co/2BUKQmeCEK

At a mere 6 years of age, I attended my first ever gig thanks to my parents. An evening spent in Bristol to see their favourite group and remember fondly years later when our three part harmonies on car journeys singing Morningtown Ride and The Carnival Is Over. #RIPJudithDurham https://t.co/8Z22GsaG3p https://t.co/b17kavg9A3

Sad news of the death of Australian singer Judith Durham of The Seekers. The beautifully distinctive voice on hits such as The Carnival Is Over, Morningtown Ride, A World Of Our Own and I'll Never Find Another You, considered by many as one of the finest singers of the Sixties. https://t.co/VumHwaSKMB

'Morningtown Ride' by the Seekers, filmed in the gardens of Como House in South Yarra in 1968. Vale Judith Durham. https://t.co/Iqmxit94hO

Very sad news. I remember as a young boy listening to ‘Morningtown Ride’ and ‘The Carnival is Over’ and ‘A World of our Own’. 👍 https://t.co/dGfWyKwKJr

A much-loved sound from childhood. In memory of the great #judithdurham #NowPlaying "Morningtown Ride (Stereo) [2009 Remaster]" by The Seekers on @TIDAL https://t.co/nPxioUrCw1

I always say I came into country via the folk, blues and singer-songwriter route. Lesser known: 'The Carnival Is Over' was my Grandpa's favourite song. I grew up listening to The Seekers on their farm and at my Grandma's house. I'm certain Morningtown Ride was a lullaby of mine. https://t.co/1z6t7kJFWf

R.I.P. Judith Durham. Music will live on in my heart. A beautiful, kind and wise soul. In memory of more carefree times. The Seekers - Morningtown Ride: Special Farewell Performance https://t.co/KZV0uu9Dbb via @YouTube

@ArgyleLoz Oh no, I've always loved the Seekers. I still rock my baby grandson off to sleep by singing Morningtown Ride 😢

@steve1head Mine too. My grandfather and father watched her on Saturday night TV. I can’t listen to Morningtown Ride without my eyes watering 😢

@David_M_Green @LexRegina72 Perfect voice. Unique voice. I remember my Dad excitingly bringing home our first stereo HiFi record player with a selection of albums. The first one he put on was the Best of the Seekers. Georgy Girl, Morningtown Ride etc. Some things you never forget. RIP Judith Durham.

@HelenMOToole @robynbryant33 I used to play Morningtown Ride for my kindergarten class to sing.

Very sad to see Judith Durham of The Seekers has died. My mother had their albums and the first song I ever performed on the 1/2 size guitar she bought me was Morningtown Ride.

@SueKennedy19 Definitely feeling this one. 'Morningtown Ride' is one of Toddler's favourite bedtime songs.

RIP Judith Durham, one of the voices of my childhood, somewhat polluted by The Seekers being dad’s favourite band. A man for whom rhythm and melody were alien concepts. Sunday lunch washing up was accompanied by ‘Another You’, ‘Morningtown Ride’ etc Some Day. One Day. Today. https://t.co/UAw4JCo6wX

@tanya_plibersek It's just so emotional. Aussie icon's last Morningtown ride as the carnival is now over and yes Judith "We'll never find another you"😪 #valeJudithDurham

@rdhinds @malcolmconn My parents used to sing Morningtown Ride to me as a kid and we now sing it to our children. It's a song about keeping children safe and happy via beautiful dreams while they sleep. Sandman is the guardian of the kids & sprinkles fairy dust on the children's eyes while they sleep
