Richard Harris - rare song - Mac Arthur Park

One of the most beautiful songs ever written. And sung so wonderfuuly by Richard Harris. So emotive and haunting.

BEAUTIFUL:)

Absolutely the best version of this song.

Fresh Prince prison episode, the coo-koo inmate started singing this song, lol

good memory

I remember this record being so much longer than anything that was playing in May of 1968. I can't say that Richard Harris had a great singing voice but it hit the bullseye in this song. This is the best version of this song and always will be. Thanks ecidarocnarf for posting this.

My local Baker says he never heard of a metaphor cake but he says he can bake a humble pie.If the cake melts how can you tell it was a metaphor cake,by the color of the gooey puddle left behind?Metaphor sounds kinda minty.....and another thing..I think the cake was not left in the rain,it was just LEFT OUT..then it started raining..left in the rain sounds intentional.

You'd be surprised how many people take this song literally...no, there never was a cake that was left out in the rain...no chocolate bar left in the car, no beer left out in the hot sun, it's all metaphor anyway you want to put it.
