The moment of Baby reindeer when we get to feel empathy for Martha who go through sadness and pain because of her sickness... Then we hate her much more before feeling pity anew. This series was so deep and so well done
The fact that this song is so haunting, so sad, so good, and the fact that you can only hear THE OTHER HALF in the original Twilight Zone episode where the song goes from beautifully haunting, to just plain holly freaking shit haunting makes it probably one of the best songs ever... This is the King in Yellow of music
This was written for the "TWILIGHT ZONE" episode of the same name {May 22, 1964}. It's a "haunted" song of sorts, as a backwoods girl [Bonnie Beecher] is persuaded to sing it to an opportunistic "folk singer" [Gary Crosby]- who never realizes the song is inexpliciably tied to his own fate....
Played college football. Committed D1 to east coast school. Freshman year was a disaster. Destroyed my knee. Sister got deathly ill. Nothing was right and I lost myself. Dad showed up after a failed procedure and we packed my dorm room. I ended up trying out for a better college (Pac12) and somehow made the team. My family cried. I cried. But when I showed up on campus with just a backpack and suitcase - now a Junior (20 years old), no more a freshman - I remember walking into the stadium and this song played in my head. That 80,000 seat stadium sat empty. Still. Ears ringing quiet. And in that numbing silence, I felt absolute. Crushing. Loneliness. I had wandered. And what I was to make of it, lay before me. … You’ll be happy you wandered too. You got it.
Lyrics: He said come wander with me love Come wander with me Away from this sad world Come wander with me He came from the sunset He came from the sea He came from my sorrow And can love only me
I’ve tried to find this on Spotify but was never able to find it because I was looking it up under Bonnie Beacher. But know I’ve actually found it! Thanks a million.
I must have listened to this a thousand time, I still brings me shivers down my spine. The melody really sounds like its haunted, Jeff Alexander did a perfect job! And the interpretation, my god ... Bonnie Beecher sounds amazing, and brings this melody to heaven. It's like a song you've known all of your life.
I’m 53 years old and I remember being a little boy and hearing this song for the first time. It was always spooky and mysterious to me every time I watched that twilight zone episode with this song.
While not the last fresh one to be broadcast (that distinction belongs to "The Bewitchin' Pool"), "Come Wander With Me" was the final Twilight Zone episode produced.
2 years ago I remember watching Twilight zone and hearing this song again after a long time and I went back after a random recommendation Still beautiful and nostalgic
My all time favorite episode of Twilight Zone! Just watched again on Amazon Prime. The song, the actress, and her voice: sweet & lovely, but oh so utterly creepy and eerie. Just perfect!
She said come wander with me love ... Come wander with me ... Away from this sad world ... Come wander with me ... She came from the sunset ... She came from the sea ... She came from the street ... And her love shines to be ... She gave love to feel love ... Around far and near ... Relived from this moment ... Her eyes saw the fear ... She came from the sunset ... She came from the sea ... She came from my dreams ... And she wakes up to me ... She trailed to the tree shift ... The nature in reel ... Refined to cure the feel ... Her heart spoke to me ... She said come wander with me love ... Come wander with me ... Away from this sad world ... Come wander with me ...
From my favorite Twilight Zone episode. Saw for the first time almost 40 years ago, even though it’s older than that. Was this an original written for the show?
