"Loved By The Sun"

I've seen the mystics labor  [play there]
Once or twice, well they knew we had a reason.
Enchantment plays its cards all right
Hand in hand, with the workings of the seasons.

Legends can be now and forever
Teaching us to love for goodness' sake
Legends can be now and forever
Loved by the sun
Loved by the sun
Loved---

"Two and two go so close together,
Whether there is hope that is torn apart,
In the words of all that's singing,
Hand in hand, the beginning is at the start

        Legends can be now and forever,
        Teaching us to reach for goodness' sake
        Legends can be now and forever,
        Loved by the Sun,
        Loved by the Sun,
        Loved-"

Who sings of all of love's Eternity?
Who shines so bright in all the songs 
Of Love's unending span

					"Of Love's ??????" [Really hard to understand: could be "existence", with
					bad annunciation, but it sounds something like "an angry smile" or
					"enabling smile"; admittedly, that doesn't make any sense, but hey! that
					hasn't stopped Jon before :) ]  --  JMcG


					It's [Of Love's] unending SPELL.   And it makes perfect sense.  --		*m*

	 


Holy lightning strikes all that's evil
Teaching us to love for goodness' sake.
Hear the music of love Eternal
Teaching us to reach for goodness' sake.
Legends can be now and forever
Teaching us to love for goodness' sake...

Sweet songs of youth... the wise... the meeting of all wisdom
Sweet songs of youth... the wise... the meeting of all wisdom
Sweet songs of youth... the wise... the meeting of all wisdom
Sweet songs of youth... the wise... the meeting of all wisdom
To believe in the good in man
To believe in the good in man
To believe in the good in man

The track is on the Legend soundtrack, out on cd. Also the first
track, performed by Brian Ferry, features Piink Floyd's David Gilmour
on guitar. This is a very good cd, if you can locate it I suggest you
buy it.

Well, originally, Jerry Goldsmith was supposed to do the music, which was the 
case in the European version of the film.  Tangerine Dream scored the American 
version, and apparently weren't too happy with Jon's singing over their music.

Tangerine Dream wrote and performed the entire soundtrack except for the
Ferry song. Unbeknownst to them, Jon Anderson's vocals were overdubbed on
"Loved by the Sun". They were not happy campers. Due to this controversy
and a legal matter surrounding Ferry's contribution, the CD release of the
soundtrack didn't see the light of day until just recently, despite the
fact that the movie was released back in 1985.
