MDH - Sunset Boulevard [Lyric video]
Sunset Boulevard is the opening track on MDH's 2nd album Soundtrack.
Inspired by the classic Hollywood movie, it draws a juxtaposition with the silent stars who were dropped by the industry with the contemporaneous trend of 'dinosaur acts' in rock constantly reinventing ways to remain relevant and lucrative off of their limited and ageing back catalogue.
"It seemed fitting to start an album about films with a song about a film about films… I took some inspiration with the comparison between when the film industry moved into the sound era and left the old order behind, and when the music industry moved into the internet age and suddenly nostalgia acts seemed to be earning more than ever."
You and her, you and her
Til I met you and her, you and her
I was living car by car, drinking when ...

Shirley Bassey - The Last Man In My Life (1993 Recording - Don Black/Andrew Lloyd Webber Song)
1993 - Shirley Bassey recorded and released this song on her 1993 Album titled, 'Shirley Bassey Sings the Songs of Andrew Lloyd Webber.' Webber and Don Black wrote this song for the musical, 'Song & Dance'. Although this song is not as well known as Webber's many other compositions, it's a beautiful song nevertheless.
ABOUT the musical, Song & Dance:
Song and Dance is a musical comprising two acts, one told entirely in "Song" and one entirely in "Dance", tied together by a unifying love story. The "Song" act is Tell Me on a Sunday, with lyrics by Don Black and music by Andrew Lloyd Webber, about a young British woman's romantic misadventures in New York City and Hollywood. The "Dance" act is a ballet choreographed to Variations, composed by Lloyd Webber for his cellist brother Ju...

FILM DESCRIPTION:
Billy Wilder's Sunset Boulevard ranks among the most scathing satires of Hollywood and the cruel fickleness of movie fandom. The story begins at the end as the body of Joe Gillis (William Holden) is fished out of a Hollywood swimming pool. From The Great Beyond, Joe details the circumstances of his untimely demise (originally, the film contained a lengthy prologue wherein the late Mr. Gillis told his tale to his fellow corpses in the city morgue, but this elicited such laughter during the preview that Wilder changed it). Hotly pursued by repo men, impoverished, indebted "boy wonder" screenwriter Gillis ducks into the garage of an apparently abandoned Sunset Boulevard mansion. Wandering into the spooky place, Joe encounters its owner, imperious silent star Norma Desmond (Gloria Swanson). Upon learning Joe's profession, Norma inveigles him into helping her with a comeback script that she's been working on for years. Joe realizes that the script is hopeless, but the money is good and he has nowhere else to go. Soon the cynical and opportunistic Joe becomes Norma's kept man. While they continue collaborating, Norma's loyal and protective chauffeur Max Von Mayerling (played by legendary filmmaker Erich von Stroheim) contemptuously watches from a distance. More melodramatic than funny, the screenplay by Wilder and Charles Brackett began life as a comedy about a has-been silent movie actress and the ambitious screenwriter who leeches off her. (Wilder originally offered the film to Mae West, Mary Pickford and Pola Negri. Montgomery Clift was the first choice for the part of opportunistic screenwriter Joe Gillis, but he refused, citing as "disgusting" the notion of a 25-year-old man being kept by a 50-year-old woman.) Andrew Lloyd Webber's long-running musical version has served as a tour-de-force for contemporary actresses ranging from Glenn Close to Betty Buckley to Diahann Carroll.

Sunset Boulevard is the opening track on MDH's 2nd album Soundtrack.
Inspired by the classic Hollywood movie, it draws a juxtaposition with the silent stars who were dropped by the industry with the contemporaneous trend of 'dinosaur acts' in rock constantly reinventing ways to remain relevant and lucrative off of their limited and ageing back catalogue.
"It seemed fitting to start an album about films with a song about a film about films… I took some inspiration with the comparison between when the film industry moved into the sound era and left the old order behind, and when the music industry moved into the internet age and suddenly nostalgia acts seemed to be earning more than ever."
You and her, you and her
Til I met you and her, you and her
I was living car by car, drinking when I could with the hacks in Schwab’s drugstore
I had made it just so far, washing up and going dry, it wasn’t coming anymore
Then you and her come along
Good luck and so long
Norma Desmond on a nostalgia trip
But it turns out that it’s us that got small
And what am I planning to do about it?
I bet you do nothing at all
G n’ R, G n’ R, someone thaw out G n’ R, G n’ R
G n’ R, G n’ R, someone thaw out G n’ R, G n’ R
From a cannon, helmet on, see no time has passed, crushed bulbs on the tiled floor
Jon Bon Jovi, Elton John, since the lady’s payin’ serve me up a vintage whore
Digital radio
Set our tastes, we’d never know
Norma Desmond on a nostalgia trip
But it turns out that it’s us that got small
And what am I planning to do about it?
I bet you do nothing at all
Your sweet water-lily
Ever after happily
Floating in our Sunset Boulevard, Boulevard
And what am I planning to do about it?
I bet you do nothing at all

Shirley Bassey - The Last Man In My Life (1993 Recording - Don Black/Andrew Lloyd Webber Song)

1993 - Shirley Bassey recorded and released this song on her 1993 Album titled, 'Shirley Bassey Sings the Songs of Andrew Lloyd Webber.' Webber and Don Black wrote this song for the musical, 'Song & Dance'. Although this song is not as well known as Webber's many other compositions, it's a beautiful song nevertheless.
ABOUT the musical, Song & Dance:
Song and Dance is a musical comprising two acts, one told entirely in "Song" and one entirely in "Dance", tied together by a unifying love story. The "Song" act is Tell Me on a Sunday, with lyrics by Don Black and music by Andrew Lloyd Webber, about a young British woman's romantic misadventures in New York City and Hollywood. The "Dance" act is a ballet choreographed to Variations, composed by Lloyd Webber for his cellist brother Julian, which is based on the A Minor Caprice No. 24 by Paganini. The musical had its world premiere on March 26, 1982 at the Palace Theatre, where it ran for 781 performances.
Synopsis of Play:
Song focuses on an English girl who has recently arrived in New York. Following an argument with her boyfriend, they decide to break up. She writes to her mother in England about what happened, and that she has met a new man, Hollywood producer Sheldon Bloom, with whom she travels to California. She eventually realizes that Sheldon has only been using her as a trophy, and she ends things once and for all.
The girl returns to New York disappointed and meets a younger man who she finds more fulfilling. When he has to leave on a business trip, the girl can't bear to let him go. Her friend later comes over to tell her about the man's infidelity, and she asks him for the truth.
Depressed, the girl walks through the city streets. She meets a married man, and reflects on whether their affair is wrong. The married man comes by to confess his love, however she realizes that she has been using him. In the end she decides that it wasn't the end of the world to have no one.
Dance explores the story of the younger man, his various relationships and his commitment issues. At the end, the man sees the girl, and they make up, joining both at last in Song and Dance.
ABOUT The Album:
This album, 'Shirley Bassey Sings the Songs of Andrew Lloyd Webber, saw Bassey briefly return to her old label EMI (which also owns her United Artists recordings); the album was issued by EMI on the Music For Pleasure Premier label. All songs on this album are from the pen of Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber. This is the first, and to date the only Songbook album that Shirley Bassey has recorded and released. In her early recording career she had recorded many songs from the Great American Songbook, but unlike Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, and many other artists, she had never recorded a complete album of songs by one composer. The songs on the album are all taken from the popular musicals of Andrew Lloyd Webber, that he wrote with various lyricists. The oldest song found on the album is from the 1971 musical Jesus Christ Superstar which originally opened on Broadway in October of that year. Bringing it up to date the album also includes two songs from Sunset Boulevard which had recently premiered on July 12, 1993 in London's West End
LYRICS:
I'm a lady when you kiss me
I'm a child when you are leaving
I'm a woman ev'ry time our bodies meet
Complete
Long lost feelings stir inside me
Used to think nights were for sleeping
Being wanted is a thrill I never knew
Till you
Now I'm alive, inside I'm glowing
I'm how I want to be
Loving you I can be me
Just me
It's the first time when you touch me
Now I long for rainy mornings
I am certain you're the last man in my life
I'm a woman every time our bodies meet
Complete
Long lost feelings stir inside me
Used to think nights were for sleeping
Being wanted is a thrill I never knew
Till you
Now I'm alive, inside I'm glowing
I'm how I want to be
Loving you I can be me
Just me
It's the first time when you touch me
No more dreams with one face missing
I am certain you're the last man in my life
I am certain you're the last man in my life

UNRELEASED – Produced 1972 Copyright DBMc Inc.
This is an experimental film that was made while I was an undergraduate at the UCLA Film School in the early 1970s. My Marin County partners in crime, Jessica Roth and Bruce McCauley, brought the vision of this era into reality...they lived it! I regret Bruce died before the invention of UTUBE. This film was even made before MTV…image that!
Nobody was combining motion picture film with rock and roll for theatrical release in those days. ” Shorts” were the little pictures that were seen in-between the feature films. We were dismissed as CRAZY invaders from San Francisco by our LA colleagues. The audio was made for quad-theaters (very hot in 1972) and thus takes some work to reduce 35 separate audio tracks into this format. It was mono in the car and blasts to quad when Wolfman or Todd hits the screen. We did a fantasy reveal on Wolfman in this short...due to the fact that very few people had ever seen him. Lucas had not released his vision of 4th Street in San Rafael just yet.
For me and millions of other nocturnal radio listeners Wolfman was a nightly mystery of rock and roll interspersed with all kinds of babble and humor...so this is how we shared him. Todd composed his song “Wolfman Jack” that honors and gives praise the number one crazy cat alive! Someone tweeted that Todd played this for this 60th birthday party which had to be really fun for those lucky ones on Kauai.
This short is about 4 solitary guys spinning around in Los Angeles at a very creative time, the 1970s. Each one is at the top of their game and the games are quite different. George and Ms. Bobby are two lonely souls heading into the sunset.... on Sunset Blvd....listening to the radio. They collide on the boulevard.
George Jennings (driver) lived in Oakland and drove for the transit company. He is in search of a party.
Ms. Bobby (sweet hitch hiker) is heading for the Chateau Marmount Hotel. She played the 70’s rock groupie to a tee during this collision of souls. In reality she was part of a San Francisco midnight theater group of entertainers, The Cockettes. No one has ever pickup on the fact that Ms. Bobbi was such a terrific LGBT actor…I think it is important to share this now to let you know of our support for the cause decades ago.
I do wish you could have seen this on the big screen with quad audio. It just wasn’t in the cards for me.
Enough for now…enjoy the history and fun.

In reality she was part of a San Francisco midnight theater group of entertainers, The Cockettes. No one has ever pickup on the fact that Ms. Bobbi was such a terrific LGBT actor…I think it is important to share this now to let you know of our support for the cause decades ago.
I do wish you could have seen this on the big screen with quad audio. It just wasn’t in the cards for me.
Enough for now…enjoy the history and fun.
