"We may never love like this again," "The morning after," "We've only just begun," Sing" Aren't these songs all about coming to accept the bourgeois suburban life that we all seem to lead? Doesn't that just make you sad?

absolutely agree with you....this song captured the drama and the tragedy....put you in that space totally.

I've always loved this song since I was a little kid. Captured the ambience so well of the movie.....in fact it made the feeling or memories of the movie so much better.

Just watched the movie after not having seen it since it came out and never realized Maureen Mcgovern had sung the this song. Nice song and the arrangement is an exact copy of "The Morning After" from "The Poseidon Adventure". Harpsichord in the choruses and the layered vocals at the end. Always loved this singer. Amazing voice.

Loved this movie. Remember seeing it in a jam-packed downtown theater in Manila, I believe it was Ideal Theater during my high school days. The Theater is now long gone so were the rest of 10 or so other big theaters located along this stretch of commercial area. Being a fan of Robert Wagner, I also felt bad because he did not survive the inferno. Terrific film that made my heart ran down the clock from start to finish. Thanks Hollywood!

i love that movie "THE TOWERING INFERNO" with two American Greats Paul Newman & Steve McQueen (1972)

@Irishfanism: I totally agree with you! She won my heart over with "The Morning After" and I have met her several times and that voice is as beautiful as her spirit. They just don't make love songs like they used to.

way back when,...deejays would have called this "the "love" (?) Theme from The Towering Inferno when they'd announce it on the radio. Right from the instrumentals at the very beginning of the song and MG's over the top delivery you get a sense of drama and foreboding; something like an eat, drink, and be merry for tomorrow we die kind of feeling... You just don't hear memorable movie music like this anymore.Too bad, so sad!
