Bert Bacharach/Hal David: Their Best Song Thread

[greekspeak]

I cannot choose the best song to come from these men. How could I? I guess if I was really pressed, I would have to say "I Say A Little Prayer." Or "Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head." Maybe "Do You Know The Way To San Jose." Yet again, "This Guy's In Love With You." HELP!

...from the "Get Over It" soundtrack.

It's amazing how well Bacharach/David songs translate into so many different genres.

[Left Is Write]

5. "the windows of the world" is mighty relevant to today/BushWorld

The windows of the world are covered with rain,
Where is the sunshine we once knew?
Ev'rybody knows when little children play
They need a sunny day to grow straight and tall.
Let the sun shine through.

The windows of the world are covered with rain,
When will those black skies turn to blue?
Ev'rybody knows when boys grow into men
They start to wonder when their country will call.
Let the sun shine through.

The windows of the world are covered with rain,
What is the whole world coming to?
Ev'rybody knows when men can not be friends
Their quarrel often ends where some have to die.
Let the sun shine through.

The windows of the world are covered with rain,
There must be something we can do.
Ev'rybody knows whenever rain appears
It's really angel tears.
How long must they cry?
Let the sun shine through.

21. "Walk On By"

Killer song; the quintessential Bacharach/David song in my mind. And the the pounding piano on the chorus along w/ Dionne Warwick's voice is magic..

[Redstone]

22. "Always Something There to Remind Me."

The only one of their songs I ever liked, and I like it a whole bunch. Especially as sung by Dionne Warwick.
