HENRY MANCINI : SOLDIER IN THE RAIN (1963)

Ακούμε το μελαγχολικότατο θέμα του Henry Mancini για την bitter-sweet comedy του Blake Edwards Soldier In The Rain – πρωταγωνιστές οι Jackie Gleason, Steve McQueen, Tuesday Weld. Η υπόθεση του έργου εκτυλίσσεται σε στρατιωτικό, εν καιρώ ειρήνης περιβάλλον. Ακούμε το θέμα σε δυο βερσιόν : original, και διασκευασμένο από τον Dave Grusin με τη φωνή της Diana Krall. 🟡 🟡 We hear the most melancholic theme by Henry Mancini for Blake Edwards’ bittersweet comedy Soldier in the Rain – starring Jackie Gleason, Steve McQueen, and Tuesday Weld. The film’s plot unfolds in a peacetime military setting. We hear the theme in two versions: the original, and a rearranged cover by Dave Grusin featuring the vocals of Diana Krall.

Young lonesome soldier
Sleeping in the rain
Far from home
Half a child
Half a hero
Tossed by the times
Caught in the winds
Dream, lonesome soldier
Weary of the rain
Dream of home
Someone’s son
Someone’s lover
Dream that your someday child
Never knows the rain

    Both the music and the movie are new to me. I prefer the Diana Krall version of the music.
