Everyone must know that this beautiful song composed by the legendary musition Michel Legrand. His mother was armenian and he was raised by his armenian grandparents ,who were armenian genocide survivors. I am armenian myself and we are very proud of him!
This song's words breaks me up - brings me to tears. My dearest and much beloved French partner of over twenty years Annie Huet used to, when we were younger, sing this song to me in French. Now I am 82 and lonely. She's only 75 and she is in a nursing home suffering with what one could diagnose as this song's title.
I loved this song since I saw the movie and bought the album back in 1968. I am now 67 and the words make a lot of sense. All of my friends have gone away, either through death or by simply vanishing into time. I guess I shall finish this song alone.
Wow. I just wrote that on my FB page sharing this. That this song, this version only, moves me to tears. Thanks for sharing that touching story. Good luck.
I just spent an hour listening to many artists singing this song. He does it justice. He is amazing- just the best version I have ever heard. not bad for a 50+ yr old man. He has my admiration & gratitude.
Not only The Thomas Crown Affair comes right into mind, but also the class and sultriness of it is just intoxicating. This has got to be one of the most beautiful songs I've ever listened to. Sting never disappoints, excellent version.
I have to say that Sinne Eeg sings my favorite version of this song, except for Noel Harrison. There are certain songs that hit me hard the first time I hear them and are so indelible that other versions can’t compete, and this song is one of them....and I was only about 8 years old when I first heard it.
If your a spirtual person you don't have to be high to understand this song. Actually its a very male thinking pattern, peppered with everything and then the gem of his realty surfaces.
love sting's version of it!! sensual, sexy.... and very classy! very appropriate to go with such a classy film as the thomas crown affair. it's all class.
Every time I listen to this lyrics and music reminds me of the many women I loved in my life , now they are just half remembered names and faces and my hair is turning grey...no remorses just slight resentment..🤔🤔🤔
Dear George, I really don;t know you but I found myself identified with your comment. I always think of all the people who once touched my heart and there's always this green-yellowmelacholy around them
Wouah, j'adore, c'est bon aussi comme ça groovy jazzy, bien sentie : ) Cette musique de Michel Legrand est une pépite à écouter, jouer et chanter ! Et bravo aux paroliers Bergman d'avoir su transcrire un texte en anglais aussi poétique et délectable que les paroles françaises d'Eddy Marnay : )
Soy colombiano hay un cante compatriota fonseca y el decía que escuchar cantar a sting es cosa de locos escucharlo es algo tan especial un artista de verdad
There is no windmill in this mind. No more responses to anything. As I speak now I speak not to anyone known but I speak to what's out there beyond who I already know.
The Legrand soundtrack to The Thomas Crown Affair is near the top of my list for great music. Super hip. If you appreciate Bjork's tune The Musicals, you'll like this Soundtrack.
Hey!!! 😊 Thanks for the post. I love this song so; I just purchased it. 😁 just fyi, the lyric is: Never ending or beginning, on an ever spinning REEL. 🎼
