You’re not alone. I confess that I love MacArthur Park.
The Donna Summer version was popular when I was a child. I wasn’t aware of the Richard Harris version until a few years ago. I didn’t even know who Richard Harris was.
The song has a beautiful melody and, now that I’m older, I understand the lyrics more.
The Four Tops version is also great.
Thanks for reminding me about “She’s a Rainbow”. The first time I ever heard the song was on aTV commercial a few months ago. I loved the sound and energy of the song.
I’ve been meaning to download the song, but I keep forgetting to do so. Thanks for the reminder!
I like how the brass section in the middle of the song gives it strength, size and triumphic power. A whole different feeling from the beginning. As though a light was switched on to full brilliance. It’s sort of breathtaking.
