Somewhere My Love (Lara's Theme), from Doctor Zhivago

Somewhere my love there will be songs to sing
Although the snow covers the hope of Spring
Somewhere a hill blossoms in green and gold
And there are dreams, all that your heart can hold

Someday we'll meet again, my love
Someday whenever the Spring breaks through

You'll come to me, out of the long-ago
Warm as the wind, soft as the kiss of snow
Lara, my own, think of me now and then
Godspeed, my love, till you are mine again

Warm as the wind, soft as the kiss of snow

Godspeed, my love, till you are mine again


You might have to watch you movie to appreciate the deep poignancy behind these lyrics.  I cannot even read them without tearing up.

Wikipedia wrote:
The film takes place mostly against a backdrop since the World War I years, the Russian Revolution of 1917, and the Russian Civil War.  A narrative framing device, set in the late 1940s or early 1950s, involves KGB Lieutenant General Yevgraf Andreyevich Zhivago searching for the daughter of his half-brother, Doctor Yuri Andreyevich Zhivago, and Larissa ("Lara").  Yevgraf believes a young woman, Tanya Komarova, may be his niece and tells her the story of her father's life.

How could you all have forgotten "Dead Babies" (1973) by Alice Cooper?

Disclaimer: This song may be too much for the sensitivities of most WrongPlanet members.

So no video, no lyrics, and no link to same.

You have been warned.


I prefer his song Poison more. He is the original shock rocker.

How about a band that has all passed on: The Ramones’ Pet Cemetery.
