Frank Sinatra - Moonlight in Vermont with Nelson Riddle Orchestra (HQ) video free download
"Moonlight in Vermont" is a popular song about the U.S. state of Vermont, written by John Blackburn and Karl Suessdorf and published in 1943.
The lyrics are very unusual for an American pop song of the 1940s, because they do not rhyme and are impersonal, focusing mostly on the sensory appeal of the Vermont countryside while alluding briefly to romance. The lyrics are also metrically subtle—each verse (not counting the bridge) is a haiku. The song is considered an unofficial state song of Vermont and is frequently played as the first dance song at Vermont wedding receptions.
Frank Sinatra:
What I'm trying to say is that when you're sad, there's a song that does your crying for you and when the tension of daily life kind of ties knots in your spirit why, a song can be a tranquilizer -- your quiet pill. Yes, sir, bless the musician because without him a great darkness would come over the land. Our emotions would fold their tents and silently steal away.

Wow....thought I was tired of Frank until I found this video. The man is at his absolute peak. Same goes for Nelson Riddle's Orchestra...a completely spellbinding, hypnotic, superlative, retire-the-trophy performance.8 years ago

En el año 1943 se compuso "Moonlight in Vermont" (Luz de luna en Vermont) John Blackburn y Karl Suessdorf fueron los autores y aquí Sinatra demuestra lo que le enseñó Tommy Dorsey, como respirar cantando, en varias partes de la canción continua sin cortar a la frase siguiente, estaba en este video en su mejor momento de vida como cantante.9 years ago

Hard to believe that 23 clueless f*#@s voted this "thumbs down". In the words of Louis Armstrong regarding Sinatra: "If you don't hear it, you ain't got ears"9 years ago
