"Turn! Turn! Turn! (To Everything There Is A Season)" is a song written by Pete Seeger in the late 1950s and inspired by the Bible's Book of Ecclesiastes. The song tells that for everything in life, there is a season and time; a time for birth, death, planting, reaping, killing, healing, laughter, weeping, building, breaking down, dancing, mourning, embracing, refraining from embracing, gaining, losing, rending, sewing, love, hate, war, peace, etc. The song emphasizes the cyclical and inevitable nature of life and its changes. Mary Hopkin recorded a cover of the song in 1968, and it became a hit in the UK and US. The song is often associated with the Vietnam War and the peace movement of that time. The message of the song is still relevant today and encourages us to appreciate the different seasons of life and accept change as a natural part of it.
