Two For The Road


Some movie themes become classics. Others can get lost in time unless something triggers a memory. This is one of my favorite themes from the motion picture Two For The Road starring Albert Finney and Audrey Hepburn. Which movies have themes that you enjoy?








If you're feeling fancy free,
Come wander through the world with me,
And any place we chance to be
Will be our rendezvous.
Two for the road, we'll travel down the years,
Collecting precious memories,
Selecting souvenirs and living life
the way we please.

*In summertime the sun will shine,
In winter we'll drink summer wine,
And every day that you are mine
Will be a lovely day.
As long as love still wears a smile,
I know that we'll be two for the road,
And that's a long, long, while.

(Instrumental interlude and pick up at *.)

In summertime the sun will shine,
In winter we'll drink summer wine,
And every day that you are mine
Will be a lovely day.
As long as love still wears a smile,
I know that we'll be two for the road,
And that's a long, long, while.

One of my favorites is the Love Theme from Romeo and Juliet by Harry Mancini. It's wonderful on piano, but it is stunning on violin - particularly when interpreted by Andre Rieu.

Wow, there are so many that I love that I probably couldn't even begin to name them! I do have to say that movie themes just don't seem to be quite as good as they used to be though - or at least not to me. That's not to say that I don't enjoy a lot of movie soundtracks because I do, I do but the big epic movie theme just doesn't seem to be there anymore - or maybe I just don't watch enough movies to know for sure!
