Jessica Harper - Old Souls

Phantom of the Paradise - Brian De Palma (1974)

Lyrics

Our love is an old love baby it's older than all our years
I have seen in strange young eyes familiar tears
We're old souls in a new life baby
They gave us a new life to live and learn
Some time to touch old friends and still return
Our paths have crossed and parted this love affair was started long long ago
This love survives the ages in its story lives are pages
Fill them up may ours turn slow
Our love is a strong love baby we give it all and still receive
And so with empty arms we must still believe
All souls last forever so we need never fear goodbye
A kiss when I must go...no tears...in time...we kiss hello

This was our wedding song in 1984 - still married today!

No one talks about how genuinely happy Winslow looks to just see her sing, her talent, it makes my heart ache he's been put through so much, yet finds joy in his and others genuine artistry

Once you see it you can never unsee it. Phantom of the Paradise will always be one of my top favorite rock opera movies. Saw this when it first came out back in 1974 when I was 12 years old. I had a big crush on Jessica Harper, and all these years later, I still do. ❤❤❤ Funny thing is...this would have been a great James Bond song.

I think this was a better movie than rocky horror show even though this movie wasn't as popular.

[lilygobin]

This song never gets old! Saw that movie so many times and listened to the album over and over. Those were good times! ❤❤

Only phoenix can sing his songs. Anyone else who tries, dies.

I just love how Paul Williams incorporated both Phantom of the Opera and Faust put together, but he added his own special twist on his characters.

My sister sang this song at my wedding. Beautiful song.

[Shap]

Such a masterpiece of a song. Beautifully composed and sung.

[AbelFlores-pb]

Santa madre de Dios que voz de mujer y su hermosura es algo incomparable, aqui la tengo como el primer dia en un poster para siempre

[DarientLambert]

Jessica Harper ate it! Definitely my Favourite scene from the movie ❤️

[ArtiGussy]

One of the most beautiful love songs ever... superb melodic flight on "a kiss when I must go"

Went to the 50th anniversary here in Winnipeg on the 2nd of November with my girlfriend who's an absolute fan of Paul Williams. I must say, I'm a metal head but this song somehow got to me when we watched the movie before the Q&A...

[redthunder]

Best event ever, 50th anniversary in Winnipeg last night

This song perfectly describes how two souls are destined to stay together for the rest of their days. I was 10 years old when I first heard it, and today, at 31, I dedicate it to the love of my life.

[wryanddry]

Beauty and a performance worthy of Paul Williams's lyrical and musical genius.

[ShadowArtist]

the best and most beautiful song in this movie imo

[rodsella]

Beautiful song, Paul Williams is a genious and Jessica Harper it's breathtaking ❤

[CapuletLeGrand]

This song still gives me the chills...

[ReclaimingMyChillTime]

I saw this move as Paul Williams' take on how far out most people will go for greatness in the rock n roll industry. Crazy stuff but he was on to something.
