What more is there to really say sometimes? Drenched in the gauze of reverb, the track feels like disintegrated memories from a hazy dream. Originally composed by Barry De Vorzon & Perry Botkin Jr. for a film in 1971, it’s best known as the instrumental theme song to the American soap opera of the same name; soundtracking the day time drama since 1973. Desire’s vocal version is bookended by the somber flutes of a Mellotron & the eerie warp of a String Machine on magnetic tape. As an out of tune player piano plays alone in the vacant lobby of a hotel, we see the blur of the afterlife flickering in a single candle. Theatrical melodrama, plot twists, & character themes unravel in the vanity of youth in “The Young & The Restless“. Climaxing with a growling ensemble of synthesis, the instruments claw their way out of the grave. Gone, Dreams Of The Past Gone, With A Love That Moved Too Fast Gone, Bright Shiny Days Gone, In A Young And Restless Haze Why Did We Love, Then Run Away So Little Time, So Much Left To Say And Now, It’s Gone Young And Restless Friend You’ll Never Pass This Way Again So Drink The Summer Wine Reach For The Stars While You Have Time Your Restless Heart It Will Lead The Way So Dream Your Dreams And Live For Each Day While You Are Young, While you Are Young While You Are Young
