Frank Sinatra - The Impossible Dream (Reprise 66)

Frank Sinatra
Reprise Recordings
(J. Darion, M. Leigh)
[Recorded November 18, 1966, Hollywood]


To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go

To right the unrightable wrong
To be better far than you are
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star

This is my quest, to follow that star
No matter how hopeless, no matter how far
To be willing to give when there's no more to give
To be willing to die so that honor and justice may live
And I know if I'll only be true to this glorious quest
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm when I'm laid to my rest

And the world will be better for this
That one man, scorned and covered with scars,
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable star

New song

This song really gives me a western vibe. It reminds me of Ennio Morricone's music for The Man with No Name trilogy.

You must be mad to dislike Sinatra`s songs.

Frank got some heat for not going for the high note at the end. But it's the last note that's the essence of Sinatra. Listen to how clearly pronounced the "s" is at the end. Instead of letting the last note trail off into the sunset, he ended with flourish. Frank was such a master of the breath that he could concentrate on the emotion of songs instead of worrying about where the air was coming from. So many have learned from him, so many more NEED to learn from him.

Damn, never knew Sinatra did this song.

Williams was good but you can't beat Sinatra.

No no.
