Can somebody explain the ending?Is that Jack Torrance in another life where he was the owner/caretaker of the Overlook,and then we see him being brought back there again in his next life to take care of it???
Since I started performing on the ukulele, I do a lot of this type of music now. I don't do this song specifically but I suppose I should learn it and see if anyone recognizes it.
Song does seem quite creepy yet so hauntingly romantic at the same time. That's probably why Stanley Kubrik chose these Bowlly/Noble British songs for this movie... So many movies try to recreate a creepy, haunting 1930's or 1940's sound to go with their scary images and it doesn't work. They usually play a Benny Goodman or Glenn Miller tune which is far to upbeat and lighthearted! This song instantly transports you into a glamorous 1920's or 30's ballroom like in the movie...
@NinerPoolGirl I certainly do have an uncomfortable feeling about this music. It's very unsettling and I can't quite put my finger on how it disturbs me.

You know, for an evil hotel, it doesn't seem to bad. Sure, you die, but you get to listen to jazz, dance forever in the Gold Room, and free drink.
Sounds like my perfect vision of peace.

Why not have the 4th of July take place in 1934 instead of 1921?

BEST QUALITY VERSION ON THE ENTIRE SITE!!
Great sound with reduced recording flaw (that apparently all versions have) and with original fade out after ballroom "commotion" and applause.
Also, you won't hear any snips of other songs abruptly clipped.
Much thanks for posting it.

Lovely music. Perfect ending to the film. Stanley Kubric a genius. Jack Nicholson a tour de force performance, and Shelley Duvall. Love it.

@00nick7 I think its because its such a pleasent song. And when you see the movie you realize the evil that taking place.
