I also find it deliciously ironic that Paul Williams, the actual person that wrote it, also plays the antagonist that steals it from the character/actor that performs it. I wonder if that was merely coincidence....or intentional.
@morphississ He was asked to play Winslow at first, but Paul Williams didn't think he could do it, so he went for Swan instead... and he does an awesome job!!
Hermosa cancion, al igual que todo el OST y la pelicula, yo la vi originalmente en el canal 6 de Mexico hace 15-16 años y la consegui hace poco en DVD no se si ya la lanzaron en blu ray. Magnifica simplemente.
This is awesome, like so many other I remember this 1977 78?. I honestly looked for this soundtrack when I first got on the internet. Couldn't find it and forgot about it until now! Have to look for Paul Williams version of this..
Hey does anyone know where i can find the version of this song when Swan fixes winslow's voice? That version is the piano along with Paul williams singing, not the version in the album with the guitar and backing vocals. ive been looking everywhere!
@comptoncouny do you mean section from the movie version where Swan hooks Winslow up to the synthesizer? When Winslow sings in Swans voice? I just want make sure exactly where you mean...I can try to find it for you.
@DLSNiiganii you have the complete version?! dude is there any way you can upload to rapidshare, megaupload or something! man i am dying to hear the whole thing! please if you can. thanks again
im sixteen and recentky saw this movie( my dad whos now 46 saw this when he was a teenager and stllis listens to this) and i found the movie and decided to watch it....
F****** epic, come up short trying to describe this movie.... 9.5/10
just kidding...i admire your suggestion and honesty, and i would advocate this being the soundtrack to a porno if it would give it, paul williams, and the movie the exposure they deserve.
@RUCOTI sabes donde encontrar esa version de la cancion? la version cuando Swan le compone la voz a Winslow? no es la que esta en el disco porque esa version tiene otras personas cantando tambien.
@maGiKPhiLn gracias por el dato, yo suponia eso tambien. Una lastima que la banda de sonido completa no este editada, aunque circula algun "armado" por ahi. El tema mas notorio es el del "encuentro con el diablo" de Winslow. De todas formas creo que se editó lo mejor que habia.. Uno la ama tanto que quiere siempre mas :)
@charlysaenz Entonces no existe la version de esta cancion cuando la canta Paul williams? La version que sale cuando Swan le compone la voz a el phantasma?
I hated this film the first time I watched it. Now I realize I simply misunderstood it. Give me a break, I was just a wee little lad. I'll have to watch it again pretty soon though.
LO QUE MAS RECUERDO DE ESTA CANCION ES QUE ESTABA CON EL AMOR DE MI VIDA CUANDO MIRE ESTA CANCION, PERO NUNCA PUDE ENTENDER QUE ERA ELLA LA MUJER DE MI VIDA HASTA QUE LA PERDI. BUENO QUE MAS??
es extraño ver q en una pelicula mas q todo gringa hay tantos salvadoreños comentando. me encanta eso pero es curioso q en el salvador se hable mas de esta pelicula q en los estados unidos. yo vivo en los angeles y casi nadie la ha visto
Hey: VannyARTS tienes rason, yo les he puesto esta cancion a muchos y les encanta y dicen no haberla oido antes. La pelicula y la musica me recuerdan de mi primera novia, con ella la vimos en el Novedades de Santa Ana.
I was 13 when they ended. Can't say I miss anything about my childhood/teen years. I have an incredible 19 year old son and a 16 month old granddaughter and I wouldn't give that up for all the money in the world or even the chance to go back in time to my childhood..
I found the sheet music thorugh my local library. They had to do an inter library loan. It came from Joliet in Illinois. Its out of print so is hard to find.
i'm 15. my father grew up with this movie, and yesterday he made me watch it. You know, i was like "Oh no... Another one boring movie". And I must admit I was totally wrong.
This is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.
Check it out on Wiki - it's a mix of several - Phantom Phantom of the Opera, Picture of Dorian Grey, Hunchback of Notre Dame, and Faust (not sure if it means some movie or the book/poem)
It came out BEFORE the musical of Phantom of the Opera, if that is what you are implying. And yes, it is meant to be a bit based off the book/silent movie.
wow, the last time I hear this song was when I was in hight school in the 70's. Thanks for posting this great song.
