My Grandma would watch this. She worked so damn hard. Mean husband. Jerks and drunks all around. Still, everyday she would take the time to watch this and or Another World. I wish she had a better life.
Composer Barry DeVorzon does this melody for the movie "Bless The Beasts And Children" in 1971. In the LP soundtrack it was called "Cotton's Dream", but in 1973 the soap-opera Y&R take it for the openings.
I have always loved this song since I first discovered Y&R back in the early to mid 80's when I was about 11. I keep looking on iTunes, but for some reason the song doesn't sound the same even they they say it is the official song for Y&R.
it was called Nadia's Theme because gymnast Nadia Comenci used it for her routine, - she was the one in the 70's who scored a perfect 10 for her routine.
Formerly know as the closing theme to Y&R when it had one. I loved when the played this one over the long credit crawls at the end. It always gave the full version.
I was born late in '73. My heavens! Who'd have thought this soap would be introduced around the time I was born! My mom loved this soap. RIP, mom. I'll always love -- and miss -- you! (1935 - 2002)
best theme song ever, i love yr hope it still runs when i'm an adult....yes im a kid (13) and i'd rather watch y&r instead of wizards of wavorly place and suite life on deck ;)
@oopopp Actually not right now. CBS has renewed "The Young and the Restless" for three additional years, which will see the show on the air until 2014 after that they're going to end the show. :(
Reminds me of a beautiful visit to a Desert Hot Springs (near Palm Springs) Cabin - played often as I sat out viewing the hilly desert, peaceful warm wind floating by. Such a beautiful song to fill the air.
@xkyledubx well my Grand Aunt still watches that show even As The World Turns
makes u wanna go to sleep because the theme song would put you to sleep if the theme song get up and get the hell up outta there and i still got that As The World Turns theme song stuck in my head.
This song, to me, is bittersweet. This song makes me long for the days of my childhood that I can never return to; I yearn to again see the Sun rise to this song, and to see it happen in the first place that I called my home. At the same time, however, it is this composition that has given me what will undoubtedly be a lifelong love of orchestra and, indeed, all music. To have the privilege to listen to this piece in its entirety... I am very thankful.
@MANILABOY6631 You mean Cotton's Dream yes it was called that then later renamed as Nadia's Theme also this music was used in one of the Olympics when a young girl named Nadia competed
Back in South Africa this soap opera was dubbed into Afrikaans, like alot of American TV shows. It still had the original theme though. When I year this music, it reminds me of dinner . We usually had our main meal while it was on.
My mom started watching this when she moved to the US and was pregnant with me. When cable was expensive to afford, and there were only a few channels to watch. I'm 23 now, and have been watching Y&R for the past few years. When i was able to learn to play piano by ear, this was one of the first themes I tried to learn. It was a success. I love this theme. Sorry for the long comment haha
Unbelievable piece of music. Masterpiece. I was a Days fan for a quick second back in the 90s but never a huge soap fan, regardless, this music is epic. This song along with the Days intro truly captures the essence of the classic American soap opera.
My mom has watched it since 1973. One day I watched it with her. It was okay, but I was still a teenager. For a guy, it was not my cup of tea. When I was 30, I got sucked in one more time and now I love Y&R. This is one of the reasons. I have always loved listening to this wonderful song, It sucks CBS has comercials instead of the theme for the credits. I love the storylines and the feuds even more so. Especially with Jack and "the moustache" Victor.
@dean0232 Thank you for that -- I've always thought the same thing. I feel him everytime I hear the closing theme from ANOTHER WORLD (1975-81), LOVE OF LIFE (1977-80), and DAYS (1993-present). Type in the search field "AW ep4361", and then "Days closing Oct 2001". Listen to both and see for yourself -- absolutely gorgeous. The beautiful closing from LOL is not on youtube anywhere -- but I keep hoping...
These soap themes remind me of summer, because that's when I was on summer vacation from school and I'd be playing out in the back yard or in my room and I'd hear these themes playing from the tv during the day. They were reassuring me my Mom was home and there for me.
Mr Mom... lol Nothing like living off the drama of someone else's life cause you don't have a life of your own, and nothing to even have drama about... well, unless you have a teenage girl running around running her mouth.
Does anyone know if there's a way to get ahold of the pilot episode from 1973? I wanna' know how it all started! I checked on some of the sites that have this show on-line to watch, but they only go back about 10 seasons. Does anyone know where I can see the first show/season?
@midnitesquirldog Yes, I remember my mother used to watch it when I was a child. Now that I have grown up, I listen to its music, which is melancholic. It reminds me of the past... I do not know why; maybe because it is so beautifully melancholic...
I love it. :) Omg this is so beautiful. I luv Season 32, 2004/2005 when Gloria Fisher the hot mama ;) was still around. Portrayed by Joan Van Ark of course! She was amazing. And really made the best mom for Kevin & Michael. I luv how she came to Genoa City from notorious industrial sad city, Detroit. She looks so amazing, young & vital. With her no carbs allowed slim (plastic) body. She'll forever inspiring me, I will always 'GloAgain'. I love you so much! Ⓔⓟⓘⓒ. Best daytime soap shows ツ
I remember coming home from elementary school only to find my mom sitting in front of the tv watching this soap opera and playing solitare. This theme brings me back to so many memories! Rest in peace mom.
I remember when I was a kid in the eighties and heard the theme in the movie, I was immediately taken with the song. Funny parody to the soap. Who were they making fun of, I have always wanted to know? Still love the theme, soap and specially have a thing for Michael Keaton (Mr. MOM, and the real BATMAN), gosh I miss those days.
I've been a Y&R fan for several years. The Theme Song.. Is it an original composition for the show? I'm asking because I believe I've heard this somewhere else! Perhaps a motion picture soundtrack or something.. Anyone know???
I have a feeling we'll be hearing this theme on the show again if the rumors are true about Melody Thomas Scott leaving Y&R!
I remember back when Melody left the show the first time, they played this theme on her last day when she said goodbye to Victor and left Newman Enterprises.
TIMELESS!! EVEN WHEN Y&R IS OVER SOMEDAY THIS THEME WILL STAND THE TEST OF TIME...A TRUE CLASSIC
