Timi Yuro
timi yuro, “Interlude,”
from: something bad on my mind, 1968
“The under-appreciated Timi Yuro could do a heart-wrenching Johnny Ray-style ballad (“Hurt”), a soulful standard (“Smile”), or a blue-eyed soul rocker (“What’s a Matter Baby (Is It Hurting You)”) with equal authority. To me one of her greatest strengths was that she knew exactly how to use her voice to convey deep emotion — as in this theme for the 1968 British film, Interlude. She actually recorded the song twice: the film soundtrack version is more emotionally restrained than this version from Ms. Yuro’s 1968 album, “Something Bad On My Mind”. A meditation not only on love, but on time itself.
-Charlie Blaum-
Time is like a dream
And now, for a time, you are mine
Let’s hold fast to the dream
That tastes and sparkles like wine
Who knows if it’s real
Or just something we’re both dreaming of
What seems like an interlude now
Could be the beginnlng of love
Loving you
Is a world that’s strange
So much more than my heart can hold
Loving you
Makes the whole world change
Loving you, I could not grow old
No, nobody knows
When love will end
So till then, sweet friend ...
Time is like a dream
And now, for a time, you are mine
Let’s hold fast to the dream
That tastes and sparkles like wine
Who knows if it’s real
Or just something we’re both dreaming of
What seems like an interlude now
Could be the beginnlng of love
What seems like an interlude now
Could be the beginnlng of love”
