MacArthur Park [full version, no Suite, Album+45RPM Disco] - Donna Summer

Vocals By Donna Summer Original Release August 28, 1978 _________________ SYNOPSIS Donna Summer was in the midst of the disco peak in her career when her producer and long time collaborator Giorgio Moroder asked her to record a cover version of ‘MacArthur Park’, a track written by Jimmy Webb and originally performed by Richard Harris. Moroder had been looking for a 60s track to give a disco makeover for a good while when he heard ‘MacArthur Park’ on the radio and decided it would be a perfect fit for Summer. Summer at that stage just had major success with singles like ‘Last Dance’ and ‘I Feel Love’. ‘MacArthur Park’ became one of the bigger hits in Donna Summer’s impressive career, hitting number 1 in the US and Canada and reaching top 10 in numerous other countries, outperforming the original in the charts. Summer recorded the song in a couple of different versions, the original being over 8 minutes long, but a more radio friendly version about half the length made sure that the track became the hit it deserved to be. ______________________________ ABOUT THIS TRACK A classic by Richard Harris in 1968, and then another classic made by Donna Summer in 1978. Here's a version I've had in my collection since the Disco Era. When the original album was released, the "MacArthur Park Suite" was stitched around "Heaven Knows" and "One Of A Kind". The 45RPM Disco single released for club play, contained some instrumentation which was quite different from the Album. Here I've removed the suite, and melded together just "MacArthur Park" with the 45RPM Ending to create a complete version. So sit back and enjoy all 10 minutes and 47 seconds of "MacArthur Park"! ______________________________ YOUTUBE TRACKLIST 00:00 MacArthur Park [full version] (10 : 47) 03:45 Bridge 08:55 45RPM Disco Finale 10:43 END ______________________________ LYRICS Spring was never waiting for us, dear It ran one step ahead As we followed in the dance Between the parted pages and were pressed, In love's hot, fevered iron Like a striped pair of pants Mac Arthur's park is melting in the dark All the sweet, green icing flowing down... Someone left the cake out in the rain I don't think that i can take it cause it took so long to bake it And I'll never have that recipe again Oh, nooooo I recall the yellow cotton dress Foaming like a wave On the ground beneath your knees Birds like tender babies in your hands And the old men playing Chinese checkers by the trees MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark All the sweet, green icing flowing down... Someone left the cake out in the rain I don't think that I can take it 'cause it took so long to bake it And I'll never have that recipe again Oh, nooooo Ah-ha There will be another song for me And I will sing it There will be another dream for me Someone will bring it I will drink the wine while it is warm And never let you catch me looking at the sun And after all the loves of my life After all the loves in my life You'll still be the one. I will take my life into my hands and I will use it I will win the worship in their eyes and I will lose it I will have the things that I desire And my passion flow like rivers from the sky. And after all the loves of my life After all the loves in my life You'll still be the one And I ask myself why? Yeah (intermission) who-who-who-who who-who-who-who who-who-who-who who-who-who-who who-who-who-who who-who-who-who who-who-who-who who-who-who-who MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark All the sweet, green icing flowing down...
