6046. Jerry Goldsmith and Paul Williams - Flying Dreams
 |
| From The Secret of NIMH (Original Soundtrack Recording); Year: 1982; Genre: Contemporary Classical/Soundtrack |
I find it just weird how many time as of late that Paul Williams' name has popped up whilst researching different music, film and other media, or so it would seem.
It just so happened that on this movie's soundtrack he teamed up with legendary composer Jerry Goldsmith and wrote the lyrics for this piece; I always knew and liked the song, but never took the time to look up the particulars of it. Don Bluth's The Secret of NIMH was an animated motion picture that I literally grew up watching and have always has a fondness for it. Although I kind of am taken aback at the amount of blood, violence and death depicted in a film that was targeted to family viewing; I find that a lot re-watching such films from the '70s and '80s. Back then I suppose it was believed that children were able to grasp such concepts of life; mayhap we as a society try to protect our families from things we ourselves grew up with? Maybe we, (myself included), need to go back and reexamine our own early lives when deeming something "harmful."
