“Moon River” is a song composed by Johnny Mercer (lyrics) and Henry Mancini (music) in 1961, for whom it won that year’s Academy Award for Best Original Song. It was originally sung in the movie Breakfast at Tiffany’s by Audrey Hepburn, although it has been covered by many other artists. The song also won the 1962 Grammy Award for Record of the Year.^[1]

It became the theme song for Andy Williams, who first recorded it in 1961 and performed it at the Academy Awards ceremonies in 1962. He sang the first eight bars at the beginning of his television show and also named his production company and venue in Branson, Missouri after it. Williams’ version was disliked by Cadence Records president Archie Bleyer, who believed it had little or no appeal to teenagers.^{[citation needed]} Andy Williams’ version never charted, except as an LP track, which he recorded for Columbia in a hit album of 1962.

Same old song, just a drop of water in an endless sea.

Don't hang on, nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky.
It slips away, all your money won't another minute buy.

    Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind.

April come she will is a song written by Paul Simon.

Utilizing the changing seasons as a metaphor for the capriciousness of a girl, “April Come She Will” was used very effectively in the film The Graduate and its soundtrack. Written in England in 1964 following a brief affair that Paul Simon had during his stay there, the lyrics were inspired by a nursery rhyme that the girl in question recited.

The changing seasons is merely a metaphor for the love affair he had in England and describes the different stages it went through until it ended.

P.S. This is the original nursery rhyme:

The cuckoo comes in April
She sings her song in May
In June she changes her tune
In July she prepares to fly
In August go she must.

Subject: TAB: April Come She Will (Simon & Garfunkel)

	Here's the TAB for Simon & Garfukel's "April Come She Will".  Play the
section between the double bars and "o"s three times through, these marks are
supposed to look like the symbol to repeat.  However, when you get to the final
four measures the third time, skip the ones marked "\\1,2\" and continue on to
"\\3\".   To match the recording, try using a capo at the first or second
fret, I can't recall which.  The chord shapes are all actually fairly basic,
use:
	G/D (xx0787), G6/D (xx0780), D (xx0775), G (3x0003), C/G (3x2013), Am
(x02210), Emadd4/G (3x220x), Fmaj7 (1x221x) (for this one use either your thumb
or barre an Am shaped chord to get the bottom note), Em (022000), C (x3201x)
and Dadd4 (x5403x).

June, she'll change her tune.
In restless walks she'll prowl the night.
July, she will fly
And give no warning to her flight.

August, die she must.
The autumn winds blow chilly and cold.
September, I'll remember
A love once new has now grown old.

“Time in a Bottle” was a posthumous number-one hit for singer-songwriter Jim Croce, reaching the top of the charts in December 1973, three months after his death in a plane crash.

The song was originally written for Croce’s son, A.J., and appeared on his first album in 1972, You Don’t Mess Around with Jim. The following year Croce would shoot to fame with his hit single “Bad Bad Leroy Brown“, just months before the September 20 plane crash. Time in a Bottle was later used as the title for a compilation album of Croce’s love songs.

The song started receiving widespread airplay in the fall of 1973, after it was featured in an ABC TV movie, She Lives!, starring Desi Arnaz Jr. and Season Hubley. (Wikipedia)

“Annie’s Song” is a song recorded and written by singer-songwriter John Denver. It was his second number one song in the USA, occupying that spot for two weeks in July 1974. It also went to number one in the UK, where it was Denver’s only major hit single (many of Denver’s American hits were more familiar in the UK through cover versions by other artists).

“Annie’s Song” was written as an ode to Denver’s then-wife, Annie Denver (née Martell). Denver “wrote this song in about ten-and-a-half minutes one day on a ski lift” to the top of Bell Mountain in Aspen, Colorado, as the physical exhilaration of having “just skied down a very difficult run” and the feeling of total immersion in the beauty of the colors and sounds that filled all senses inspired him to think about his wife.[1][2]

The song has since become a wedding standard and an expression of love for many people, due to its grand imagery and the fact it could apply to anyone (Annie is not mentioned by name in any part of the song). (Wikipedia)

Kathleen Mary “Kathy” Chitty (born 1947) worked part-time selling tickets at the Railway Inn Folk Club in Brentwood, Essex, UK in 1964. She became the girlfriend and muse of Paul Simon when he lived in England in 1964 and 1965. She is referred to directly or indirectly in at least four of his songs.

He met Kathy Chitty on 12 April 1964 at the very first English folk club he played, the Railway Inn Folk Club in Brentwood, Essex. She was 17, he was 22 and they fell in love. Later that year they visited the US together, touring around mainly by bus. Kathy returned to England on her own with Simon returning to her some weeks later. When he was back in London he recorded the album The Paul Simon Songbook that included “Kathy’s Song”, and had a photo of Simon and Kathy on the cover. Also included in the album was another version of “The Sound of Silence”. (Wiki)

“The Happy Wanderer” (“Der fröhliche Wanderer” or “Mein Vater war ein Wandersmann“) is a popular song by Friedrich-Wilhelm Möller written shortly after World War II. It is often mistaken for a German folk song, but it is actually an original composition. His sister Edith Möller conducted a small amateur children’s and youth choir in Schaumburg County, Northern Germany, internationally named Obernkirchen Children’s Choir, in Germany named Schaumburger Märchensänger.

In 1953, BBC Radio aired the choir’s winning performance at Llangollen International Eisteddfod, an annual arts festival in north-east Wales. The broadcast turned the cheerful encore into an instant hit. On January 22, 1954, the song entered the UK singles chart, and would stay on the chart – only a Top 12 at the time – for 26 non-consecutive weeks. With BBC Radio’s strong international influence, “The Happy Wanderer” suddenly turned up everywhere, e.g. as the winning song of the 1955 calypso road march season of the Trinidad Carnival (prompting protest that from now on, only calypsoes should be chosen over foreign music).

The amateur choir, many of whose original members were war orphans, turned into an unlikely international phenomenon in the following years. The group performed on countless international tours under the name Obernkirchen Children’s Choir, with performances on TV shows such as The Ed Sullivan Show (November 29, 1964, and December 11, 1966).

The song’s original German lyrics have been translated into several languages, and it has since become a choir classic. The English lyrics were written by Antonia Ridge. Milton DeLugg wrote a famous arrangement, and is sometimes falsely credited as the composer of the song. (wikipedia)
