08. Max Richter/Dinah Washington - On the Nature of Daylight/This Bitter Earth (CD2) (6:12)
OST - The Shutter Island (2CD) (2010) (Rhino Records)
This bitter earth
Well, what fruit it bears
Ooooh, This bitter earth
And if my life is like the dust
oooh that hides the glow of a rose
What good am I
Heaven only knows
Lord, this bitter earth
Yes, can be so cold
Today you’re young
Too soon, you’re old
But while a voice within me cries
I’m sure someone may answer my call
And this bitter earth
Ooooh may not
Oh be so bitter after all
This bitter earth
Lord, This bitter earth
What good is love
Mmmm that no one shares
And if my life is like the dust
Oooh that hides the glow of a rose
Robbie Robertson, beautifully combined the magnificent Dinah Washington’s voice on “This Bitter Earth” with Max Richter’s hypnotising piece “On the Nature of Daylight”.
This mastepiece is beyond words…
