Moon River is a mellow song performed by Audrey Hepburn. Lyrics was composed by Johnny Mercer who had associated it to a certain place and its waterways where he had picked up some huckleberries. It was related to a carefree childhood experience.
Moon River as a song has a very strong impact. It connects with our soul to reminisce the old times and cherish old memories.
When I was a child this was the first piece I mastered in playing the bamboo flute. It's melody is so calming and brings you to a different world. It widens my imagination.
This song brings me to a different place like those in our dreams. The song tells good memories.
When I became a mother, I sing this song to my babies at bedtime. It soothes their feeling and fall asleep fast.
I would recommend this simple song to mothers who are not really good in singing. It's lyrics are simple and innocent as a child.
From being a kid I learned to play instruments starting with this song. It inspired me to draw and paint because I'd its message.
Then I become a parent giving my children a dose of calming music that will give them a mellow heart. It somehow taught them to be kind and dream big. Just like when I was so young like them.
Have you heard this song? What's your own interpretation and how did you apply it in your life?
Whenever I see a post like this I always wonder - why didn't the author add a youtube video with the song to this? :)
