Over the Rainbow

(1/3) > >>

Mairi:
My favorite song from one of my all-time favorite movies (The Wizard of Oz), I think "Over the Rainbow" describes human nature perfectly. Think about it- we're always trying to reach for a dream of ours, but it always seems to be just beyond our grasp, somewhere in the clouds.
Humans can never be contented with what we have. We want to live in a world "where troubles melt like lemon drops way above the chimney tops".
Even though we'll never get there, we strive for it anyway. It appears simple.
'Cause it's just somewhere over the rainbow...

i love that song too...i have a version with gene vincent doing the lead vocal on it.its one of my favorite videos.if you ever get a chance to here genes version don't pass it up.

adamzero:
Harry Nilsson did a nice version and The Demensions (sic) did a great doo-wop version.  Both worth looking up.  But nobody touches little Frances Gumm.  

Mairi:
Aselin Debsion did a great reggae version in a medly with What a Wonderful World. You probably haveb't heard of her but she's this wicked good young singer, I think it was recorded when she was 11 or 12.

:
I always hated that song until I heard Eva Cassidy's version.  If that doesn't choke you up, you aren't human.
