Didn't see the remake, I'm assuming they used the original theme I think it's actually called "The Hands of Time". I remember when it was first shown on ABC's Movie of the week or something like that. I was like 10 years old. Man did it make us (me and some of my family members) cry!!!!!
Won several awards not just the Emmys. Just hearing the music brings me back to the time when I first saw it back in '71.
I agree fully; I can't think of another song that chokes me up as much as "The Hands of Time". If you read the lyrics, the song becomes even more emotion provoking--I'm tearing up just thinking about it now! Although I associate the song closely with the movie, I'm sure I'd be just as moved by it had I heard it without seeing the film. The only other song that comes close is the Romeo and Juliet theme.
He who conquers himself is mightier than he who conquers a city.
I loved the music .. If I'm looking for something to make me sad, the music from this movie always does the trick .... what a classic !!!!
shareI agree, very beautiful music by Michel Legrand. He also made another very beautiful and somewhat similar song titled "Love Theme" for the movie "Lady Sings The Blues."
sharegotta love that soundtrack!When there's no more room in hell, The dead will walk the earth...
The musical theme to Brian's Song, "The Hands of Time", was a popular tune during the early 1970s and has become a standard. The music for the film was by Michel Legrand, with lyrics to the song by Marilyn and Alan Bergman. LeGrand's instrumental version of the theme song charted for eight weeks in 1972, peaking at #56.
shareLegrand was a genius. He scored again with The Summer Of 42'. Both haunting scores that touch the heart.
