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.
January: Blue Prairie February: You are My Eyes March: Sky Ball Paint & The Devil's Great Grandson April: Remember Me May: That Cloud June: In This Room July: Who's Gonna Help Me Sing? August: The Wind is Warm Again September: The Flower I Blessed for You October: Desolation November: Tumbling Leaves December: A Prayer for Christmas Time
The Sons of the Pioneers and others have recorded many of Bob's songs and we have included a few selections of each for your listening pleasure. We have also included background to the creation of the song, when we know it, plus the sheet music. |
