#ROBBIE WILLIAMS TIME FOR CHANGE LYRICS MOVIE#

It is actually from the movie “Sing Baby Sing” released in 1936. Tony: That’s an all lady orchestra, including a female conductor And apart from that it’s a bit of a shock to hear this as a straight 1930s popular song, which it does not resemble in any way in Bob’s treatment of the song.

This was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1936.

A triumph of production over the music, it seems to me, which is sad because although I find the lyrics somewhat mawkish, it is a fine song in its own terms.Īaron:Some wonderful early film clips to show you here including the original version: Tony Martin from the 1936 musical film ‘Sing Baby Sing’. And then the sudden cutting of half a bar of music before the resumption of the verse after the middle 8. The strong drum beat at the start of each bar and then on the half beat at the end of the bar… I can’t recall anything quite like this on any other Dylan recording or performance. Tony: The accompaniment to this song sounds very un-Dylan to me. Heylin offers an explanation for the selection of the album’s tracks, “As it is, Dylan’s intent all along may have been to show the rich vein of music he listened to when growing up in Hibbing.” But sometimes (as here) something different finds its way into the article – as will become apparent in a moment.Īaron: Track 2 on the 1988 album Down in the Groove was Bob’s take of this Walter Bullock/Richard Whiting song The songs and example recordings are selected by Aaron in the US and passed over to Tony in the UK for commentary. A list of the previous articles in the series is given at the end. This article is part of the series on Bob Dylan’s recordings of songs not written by himself.
