Down in the meadow - Marilyn Monroe

River of no return (1954)

Disney really missed out using Marilyn's vocals for an animated feature. Absolutely lovely voice.

[spechtmeise]

Norma Jean was a warm, generous and kind hearted soul.

[Wonderhussy]

Who knew she had such a sweet singing voice?!! All this time I thought she could barely sing, and just got by with being breathy and girly. I absolutely love this❤

[mauriousb.]

I wish this side of her was shown more…definitely a fan now 🥰 rip beautiful soul

[ShamPainSickStein]

When Mr South Wind sighs in the pines,
Old Mr Winter whimpers and whines.
Down in the meadow, under the snow,
April is teaching green things to grow.
When Mr West Wind howls in a glade,
Old Mr Summer nods in the shade.
Down in the meadow, deep in the brook,
Catfish are waiting for the hook.
Old Lady Blackbird flirts with the scarecrow,
Scarecrow is waving at the moon.
Old Mr Moon makes hearts everywhere go bump, bump,
With the magic of June.
When Mr East Wind shouts over head,
Then all the leaves turn yellow and red.
Down in the meadow corn stocks are high
Pumpkins are ripe and ready for pie.
Old Lady Blackbird flirts with the scarecrow,
Scarecrow's waving at the Moon.
Old Mr Moon makes hearts everywhere go bump-bump
With the magic of June.
When Mr North Wind rolls on the breeze,
Old father Christmas trims over trees.
Down in the meadow snow shoftly gleams
Earth goes to sleep and smiles in her dreams.

[sEditbySohail]

The most beautiful women ever ❤️❤️❤️. She is the dream of many mens 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[yaronkl]

Love you Marilyn, you were a wonderful actress and performer.

[milisea]

I think that this role - characterful and in a way motherly - is a role that she really enjoyed playing.

Her usual role of the silly blonde's was her comedic persona, she was briliant comedian. But was probably by time a curse for her because people didn't take her as a role. It's good that she had at least a small chance to show another side of herself.

Mr. Southwind sighs in the pines
Old Mr. Winter whimpers and whines
Down in the meadow
Under the snow
April is teaching green things to grow
When Mr. Westwind hums in the blades
Old Mr. Summer nods in the shade
Down in the meadow
Deep in the brook
Catfish are waiting for the hook
Old lady blackbird flirts with the scarecrow
Scarecrow is waving at the moon
Old Mr. Moon makes hearts everywhere go bump, bump
With the magic of June
When Mr. Eastwind shouts overhead
Then all the leaves turn yellow and red
Down in the meadow
Corn stalks are high
Pumpkins are ripe and ready for pie
Old lady blackbird flirts with the scarecrow
Scarecrow is waving at the moon
Old Mr. Moon makes hearts everywhere go bump, bump
With the magic of June
When Mr. Northwind rolls on the breeze
Old Father Christmas trims all the trees
Down in the meadow
Snow softly gleams
Earth goes to sleep
And smile in her dreams

I WAS BORN TO LOVE YOU (C)2006

I WAS JUST SEVENTEEN.
YOU WERE JUST A MOVIE QUEEN.
AND I WAS BORN TO LOVE YOU.

I DON'T KNOW WHO YOU REALLY ARE.
I JUST KNOW YOU AS A SUPERSTAR.
AND THERE'S NO ONE ELSE QUITE LIKE YOU.

YOU DRIVE A MERCEDES-BENZ.
I SUPPOSE YOU'VE GOT LOTS OF FRIENDS.
WHO SAY THEY'D LOVE TO LOVE YOU.

OUR LOVE WAS MEANT TO BE.
OH MY LADY CAN'T YOU SEE THAT.
I WAS BORN TO LOVE YOU.

I WAS TAKEN BY YOUR POWER.
A LONG LONG TIME AGO.
FROM WHICH THERE'S NO ESCAPE.
WHICH LEAVES NO PLACE TO GO.

SO I'M TRAPPED WITHIN YOUR EYES.
CAPTURED BY YOUR SMILE.
SURROUNDED BY YOUR REAF
WHICH EXTENDS SO MANY MILES.

I WAS JUST SEVENTEEN .
YOU WERE JUST A MOVIE QUEEN.
AND I WAS BORN TO LOVE YOU.

To listen to this original song, Google.
james monahan, I WAS BORN TO LOVE YOU

Percussive heartbeat imitations

1:01 Marilyn Monroe's percussives, suggestion of a heartbeating in the lyrics.
6/1/56---JUNE 0:58 4/27/56---APRIL 0:25 "Down in the Meadow" finale---"smiles in her dream." Dream smiling witness?!?!

Beautiful woman ❤ quand j'aurai ma petite fille dakota je lui chanterais ça pour l'endormir 🙋❤ good night 🌠🌃

[P.Whitestrake]

She learned to play guitar for this film.

[gymshoe]

Her guitar playing looked totally believable. She couldn't play it but made it look realistic--bravo!
