MATT MONRO - AND WE WERE LOVERS (THEME FROM THE SAND PEBBLES)

[ddd1953]

wrtolkas , I´ve been there with my girl who had cancer. I weep with you. But they had a perfect moment, which will last forever. I hope that you are doing well. Keep well and enjoy life! God bless you.

Another musical gem by Matt Monro. I just came across this video by accident. Matt never disappoints. RIP

[CarlHalling]

For me, Matt Munro is one of the finest crooner-style singers in musical history; the wonderful quality of his voice aside, like Frank Sinatra, he had as I see it a very unique genius for investing a song - such as this lovely little known ballad - with heart, with soul, with emotion.

This song brings back a wonderful memory. Thank you. Such a beautiful song.

When i was still a kid my grandfather would play this to his reel to reel player. I was young then But I immediately liked it. perhaps ignorance of what love is. Now Im an adult I still chase for true love. maybe sometimes our dreams dont come true but for me i still believe that one man would love me like what the song describes.... true love.... thank you for sharing this

Assim defino: Matt Monro. Sua voz suave encanta gerações.

[Gitfidlpickr]

Does anyone have the chords a/o sheet music for his song? Cannot find it any place. How about a BIAB file in .mgu? pdf? .. Guitar (c instrument)

[npenciso]

a very touching song ...

[wrtolkas]

I played this song in the hospital room while holding waiting for my young son-in-law to pass away from head injuries caused by a car crash. The accident happened at the end of summer. He and my daughter had the last perfect week together. Our families sat and listened to this song. Not a dry eye was seen in room. For my daughter, she cannot listen to this without thinking of that last perfect week. together. This is a beautiful song now with personal memories.

@wrtolkas Awww.....that's a really beautiful story, I'm sorry about your son-in-law

[cymbali]

@wrtolkas Sorry for your loss...life is so very special. Thankfully they had that wonderful week together that she'll always remember, just as the song goes...they'll meet again in a better place. The song was very appropriate for what was unfolding.

Same composer that wrote the theme song from Chinatown. In other words,

the certifiable musical genius known as Jerry Goldsmith.

@bullfrog11758 The movie sounds somewhat inaccurate because high school history teachs you that the Boxer Rebellion happened at the turn of the century-1899-1900, no offense, it does sound like a good movie though

[71crm]

@bullfrog11758 What is the movie about? From what I could gather so far...is it about some type of war in China or some Asian country, I know that during the time that this movie was made there was a lot of anti-Asian feelings coming from the States.... Forgive me for being ignorant but I just liked the music in this movie, but I don't know much about the movie itself because typically I'm not interested in war movies but I do like the music in this movie.

[toyne38]

Matt Monroe has a voice comparable to Sinatra! Beautiful!

[71crm]

Aww I like this song...I don't know much about Sand Pebbles, but I do like the music!

[jvmoley]

unbelivable theme and sung by the man with the golden voice, underated and died much to soon. as good as sinatra

[bronxboy47]

Wonderful movie, wonderful song!

[nancyfloressantos]

From the 1966 war film Sand Pebbles.....great classic movie.....

[DanielDeveronBaker]

I'm not sure if I ever saw the movie; but the song is one of my favorites. I have it on CD, and need to upload to my computer so I can enjoy it more often. My complements to onsopgoldenoldies for putting together a wonderful video to go with the song. Thank you! Great job!

[Purrturbed]

One of the best, most accurate navy movies ever made. This is a great and much underrated, under-played song. Reminds me of when I met my wife. She was smiling. Thanks for posting this.

[USAShadowWarrior]

what happened to andy williams version???

[luvoldies17J]

beautiful, fantastic and what a voice. An oldie but a goodie. Wish there were more.

[ericchan301]

What a pity that one of the best crooners had passed away so soon. I missed Matt.

Play his songs every week, really enjoy it. This song for sure is one of my favorite.

Thanks for posting.

[antonioagujar]
