Dave Grusin On Golden Pond

[ElkundEklund]

Here's my theory: Apparently Grusin has been sampled by hiphop acts lately. If you go to "Heaven Can Wait" V7rFpcPBQug it says "As Seen On: Future Producers" which is some sort of rapniggaz forum. Also read comments on "Either Way" pADrZfzPrAY. This way his back catalogue has reached people who apparently don't belong there. When these rocket scientists check out his works and find it's way above their level and not worth stealing, they press dislike.

[reclaimerReclaimer]

Some idiot's going 'round YT voting Grusin tunes down, probably a hurt fan turned down, jealous musician or something.

[Amrcngrl11]

This is one of my favorite songs ever :) It's so expressive and beautiful.

[gottamatch]

Beautiful music. Can't understand the dislikes. Some people have way too much time on their hands to troll. Gorgeous piece, thanks for uploading.

[clamjamfry]

People don't appreciate a well crafted song anymore. I put this song right up with the work of John Williams and other great film composers- this one is heart rending.

[cjdawdj]

why is there so many dislikes?

[knightflyte]

@cjdawdj Must be a Dave Grusin haters fan club. I've been trolling Youtube clips of Grusin's work tonight and am astonished at how many dislikes I've seen. They all have about a 3 - 1 or more margin of dislikes verses likes. STRANGE. And even stranger is I haven't seen negative comments in the comments section.

Norman, you poop. ;o)

[cjdawdj]

@knightflyte thats why i was baffled. i mean great song, technically great too, i was confused to say the least.

[pearldiver610]

How does this number get a lot of dislikes? The man has talent! Seriously!

[levanyzzuf]

@pearldiver610 My guess would be that most people gave up after the first 30 seconds when the tune began with such simple chords and didn't have the patience to listen to the whole piece. I don't usually pay attention to the like/dislike bar but this one is unusual.

[halfapack]

Dave Grusin played this for us last night at Dimitriou's Jazz Alley, Seattle. I am so glad we asked for seats with the best view of the piano. The performance last night was longer... but this is the first one I found this morning.

[primacoca]

this is music........ a poem to the heart



[Twazonda]

there was another version on youtube but was recently removed; it was far better than this, although this is very wonderful.

[cantcu]

Sounds a lot like George Winston.

[Theannahid]

The more I listen to this song, the more I become with love with it. What an emotional and touchy song this is. GOD BLESS ALL LOVERS

[lovethe80sguy]

i grew up 15 minutes from where this movie was filmed on squam lake n.h....what a great movie, with an equally great score.

[stitchesful]

@lovethe80sguy  What state was this movie filmed in? is where this was filmed as beautiful as it is in the movie.

[rayb6379]

It was filmed on and around Lake Squam in New Hampshire. Beautiful area.

[stitchesful]

@rayb6379 Thank you. I figured it was filmed somewhere in the East?

[UnyieldingHERO]

@stitchesful Yes. I have been up at Squam a number of times, including once in a boat. It is stunning. I saw three bald eagles in the middle of summer, the mountains are incredible, and I can begin to explain what it is like when it snows.

[stitchesful]

@UnyieldingHERO Well, now I know I'll also have to get there someday. Squam in New Hampshire, okay. But the best time is when it snows?

[gfr3j]

Norman: Why'd you go cut the end off?

[imsome100]

I get wave upon wave of goose bumps when I listen to this piece...one of my all time favourites.

[PaulGiffs]

When you see terrorists and rappers sitting together reverently, send me a pic. I'll place it on the blog. In a prominent corner, with subtle lighting. Incense. A soft breeze and you. Together we'll sit and wipe one anothers tears, as we miss earth life together. The struggle will be missed...

[TheBrassHole]

@PaulGiffs Been there, seen that, got the T-shirt. 45,000 white women raped by black men every year in the U.S. alone. And this is according to Obama's own Justice Department website to be an actual "conservative" number. So please, lets not make jokes about double standards.

[TheQueenJZ]

so touching !!

[babystrohm1]

i just love this music, it brings me to tears!

[saturnbub]

My all-time favorite piece. Although beautiful beyond words, this is not Dave Grusin performing. Nice rendition though!

[SorPasser]

Sidney Pollack said of him: he can do everything, and he did everything

[Aidan8555]

breaks my heart and makes me cry every time i hear this, nothing has touched me like this.......x

[5buitre]

Genial!! absolutamente precioso, un honor haber compartido escenario con este Maestro.

[nancyfloressantos]

Remembering the glorious year of 1981

[Woofycat]

I have played this piece over 100 times and still love it every time I hear it

[pjd57]

@Woofycat where did you find the score? Thanks.

[DaveRP100]

Exquisite music - haunting, light and yet profound. Grusin's lyrical performance gives me goose-bumps whenever I hear it. I loved it when the film came out all those years ago and love it as much if not more now.

great song
