Today’s prompt from Jim is Songs that were in movies. On an earlier prompt I used the song “First Time Ever I Saw Your Face” from the movie “Play Misty For Me.” Today I’m using “Misty”. I love the way Johnny Mathis sings this song.
The lyrics:
Look at me
I’m as helpless as a kitten up a tree
And I feel like I’m clinging to a cloud
I can’t understand
I get misty, holding your hand
I’m as helpless as a kitten up a tree
And I feel like I’m clinging to a cloud
I can’t understand
I get misty, holding your hand
Walk my way
And a thousand violins begin to play
Or it might be the sound of your hello
That music I hear
I get misty the moment you’re near
And a thousand violins begin to play
Or it might be the sound of your hello
That music I hear
I get misty the moment you’re near
You can say that you’re leading me on
But it’s just what I want you to do
Don’t you realize how hopelessly I’m lost
That’s why I’m following you
But it’s just what I want you to do
Don’t you realize how hopelessly I’m lost
That’s why I’m following you
On my own
Would I wander through this wonderland alone
Never knowing my right foot from my left
My hat from my glove
I get misty, and too much in love
Would I wander through this wonderland alone
Never knowing my right foot from my left
My hat from my glove
I get misty, and too much in love

That’s a beautiful song. Erroll Garner wrote it as an instrumental and the lyrics were added later. My favorite version, believe it or not, is Ray Stevens’s: he does it as a country song and it works really well.

I thought Misty was in the Play Misty for Me movie. I remember the other song as a song on the radio.

I can’t remember whether they ever played the whole song in the movie or not. Makes me want to watch it again!

Nobody does this song better than Johnny Mathis, nice choice Janet. I did a Clint Eastwood movie today also.

Oh yes it is. His voice just makes me melt. It’s like velvet, great choice !!! I remember the movie too. It was so scary, creepy scary. I saw it at the drive in. Jessica Walters/Clint Eastwood really made a very good suspenseful movie. Love it ❤ Have a great week Mz. Janet ❤ The song made it even creepier b/c it was so mellow and then BAM 😉
