Well, not the same as my video with the scenes from the movie... but there's no use of a worldwide-blocked video. Hope, FOX won't be pissed off by stills from the movie... Anyway, they won't even recognize this here because I haven't used any SCENE from a movie they own :-)

The song is from the album "The winning hand" (1982)

I had been curious about this movie (The Grapes of Wrath,1939 -

Früchte des Zorns) since I knew Kris' amazing song was inspired by a scene from it. So I bought the dvd already a while ago, but it was hard to start out watching it because it's an old black-and-white movie and I'm not a real fan of old black-and-white movies... But today I've taken my time to watch it and it surprised me a lot! It really IS a GREAT movie, so touching and well-made, I was deeply impressed and I LOVED it! But when it came to the mentioned scene I couldn't help but stop and make a video with scenes from it, before going on watching to the end, because this really IS the song! Kris has made such a wonderful song from it...

The movie is based on the book "The grapes of wrath" by John Steinbeck

Here comes that rainbow again

Kris Kristofferson

(Inspired by "The Grapes of Wrath" -- "Früchte des Zorns)

The scene was a small roadside cafe,

the waitress was sweepin' the floor,

two truck drivers drinkin' their coffee

and two Okie kids by the door.

"How much are them candies?" they asked her.

"How much have you got?" she replied.

"We've only a penny between us."

"Them's two for a penny," she lied.

Chorus:

And the daylight grew heavy with thunder

and the smell of the rain on the wind.

Ain't it just like a human?

Here comes that rainbow again.

One truck driver called to the waitress

after the kids went outside,

"Them candies ain't two for a penny."

"So what's it to you?" she replied.

In silence they finished their coffee,

got up and nodded goodbye.

She called, "Hey, you left too much money!"

"So what's it to you?" they replied.

Chorus:

And the daylight grew heavy with thunder

and the smell of the rain on the wind.

Ain't it just like a human?

Here comes that rainbow again.

A wonderfully simple song with an incredibly important pathos.

This song changed my life! I heard Kris do this live in Northern Ontario and I was lucky enough to meet him afterwards. He actually asked if I was sure that I was alright ( I wasn't) . imagine, a total stranger asking another if they are okay? Changed everything for me, great man!

Ain't it sumpin when occasionally one reads something in the comments and it has depth and substance. The world would be a bit better if creativity and expression were unfettered and encouraged. I mean by all those who have chosen to speak for all of us.
