Song of the Month
2008
Many of Bob Nolan's songs were written for specific films and he often admitted that he was not proud of those compositions. However, many of the songs we hear in his films he had originally written as poems several years before that. When time was short and demand for new songs was high, he would take one of these poems and quickly create music for it. Bob always thought of himself as a lyricist but many of the melodies he wrote were beautiful and memorable.
The gray titles are the future Songs of the Month.
