Let The River Run - Carly Simon

[@akshaydeshmukh5478]

This is not just a song, this is an anthem.

An ode to capitalism and the American Dream IMO. Great song and great movie

It’s an eternal Anthem. Right out of The Holy Torah/Bible. Exodus and Revelation.

When great songs won the award. 🫶

[@TheDRMISTERY]

@@marcelotortelli800 Not to nitpick but: 1) it was helped that Grammy Award for Best Song Written for Visual Media category was only established in 1988. I believe many songs would have achieved that stat before if there was a separate category for film tracks at the time. 2) this song won Golden Globe and Oscar in 1989 and Grammy in 1990 so not the same year. 3) "The Way We Were", "Evergreen" and "You Light Up My Life" all won both Oscar and Golden Globe as well as a Grammy for Song of the Year each. "Evergreen" also won a Grammy for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for Barbra Streisand. 4) "Last Dance" won both Oscar and Golden Globe as well as a Grammy for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance for Donna Summer. 5) both "Up Where We Belong" and "The Time of My Life" won both Oscar and Golden Globe as well as a Grammy for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals, for Jennifer Warnes with Joe Cocker and Bill Medley, respectively. 6) "Flashdance... What a Feeling!" won both Oscar and Golden Globe as well as a Grammy for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for Irene Cara. So Carly Simon was actually far from the first one.

[@MaryGrey60]

Always profoundly sad when I see an older movie with the Towers in the background. I remember the morning they were "hit" by planes. I was getting ready for a job interview, watching the news, when they showed the atrocity live. I thought it was "fake," because it just couldn't be real - looked like a movie scene it was THAT horrendous. I went to the job interview, actually got the job, don't remember why because I don't even know what my responses were to the questions they asked - I was just devastated by what I'd seen. Sorry, long answer to your question, but it always breaks my heart when I see an old movie with the Towers & all I "see" in my memory, are people jumping to their death from the Towers.

I loved this from the very moment I first heard it. It is, I think, a secular spiritual anthem about people navigating life, coming through the fog, and waking to a new dawn in their lives - about personal developement and faith. It always called to me even before I began my own faith path. It prefigured that. It is part of why I think a spiritual faith can be just as beneficial as a religious one. Maybe this song helped me. And finally I have to say that if the sight of the wonderful Carly Simon standing on the back of a ferry and declaiming those opening lyrics does not move you, nothing will. Thank you Ms Simon

All conversations were constantly interactive. I really miss all that. Those days have been destroyed with technology. Don't get me wrong, technology is a very useful tool and comes in handy. Google maps is a good example of this. It's when people allow technology to take over their lives to the point to where they become very disconnected by others around them.

This is so nostalgic for me. The 80s were good old days.

Let the river run Let all the dreamers wake the nation Come, the New Jerusalem Silver cities rise The morning lights the streets that lead them And sirens call them on with a song It's asking for the taking Trembling, shaking Oh, my heart is aching We're coming to the edge Running on the water Coming through the fog Your sons and daughters We the great and small Stand on a star And blaze a trail of desire Through the darkening dawn It's asking for the taking Come run with me now The sky is the colour of blue You've never even seen In the eyes of your lover Oh, my heart is aching We're coming to the edge Running on the water Coming through the fog Your sons and daughters It's asking for the taking Trembling, shaking Oh, my heart is aching We're coming to the edge Running on the water Coming through the fog Your sons and daughters Let the river run (Let the river run) Let all the dreamers (let all the dreamers) Wake the nation (wake the nation) Come, the New Jerusalem

[@Musical_Magpie]

Thanks for the lyrics!

[@janmcalpine3484]

Have loved this song ever since I first heard it. Thanks, Carly!

NYC in the late 80s was such a mood.

Carly Simon - Let the river run We're coming to the edge Running on the water Coming through the fog Your sons and daughters Let the river run Let all the dreamers Wake the nation Come, the New Jerusalem Silver cities rise The morning lights The streets that lead them And sirens call them on with a song It's asking for the taking Trembling, shaking Oh, my heart is aching We're coming to the edge Running on the water Coming through the fog Your sons and daughters We the great and small Stand on a star And blaze a trail of desire Through the darkling dawn It's asking for the taking Come run with me now The sky is the color of blue You've never even seen In the eyes of your lover Oh, my heart is aching We're coming to the edge Running on the water Coming through the fog Your sons and daughters It's asking for the taking Trembling, shaking Oh, my heart is aching We're coming to the edge Running on the water Coming through the fog Your sons and daughters Let the river run Let all the dreamers Wake the nation Come, the New Jerusalem

This song will give all you need to fight the good fight. I always feel like a frickin warrior after listening to this.

[@m_christine1070]

I was living in Manhattan when this song and movie was released. I also found myself standing second in line directly behind Carly, at a juice bar on the upper west side, a couple of years later . She is super tall and statuesque.

[@stevenbeoethy4049]

It's so funny... I had no Clue she was like 5'10"... How adorably sexy! Esp. With that GORGEOUS Mouth😮

[@DavidHalChester]

Carly Simon has always been one of my favorite recording artists. In this video not only can you hear this amazing song, you can see how she was at the peak of her beauty and just how alive she was. The music and the emotions are so powerful and wonderful and engaging, and sometimes I think she gets overlooked because she didn’t really do a lot of tours. She had stage fright and I think that some people don’t even know how amazing she is or 🎉that this song was awesome. I’m just thrilled that this video exists on KZbin so I can look at it whenever I want to and remember how amazingly fantastic she was in her heyday.

[@nissan7962]

この曲の日本語バージョンが、昔、日本の「hotel」ドラマで使われてました、日本語もいいですよ

[@Angelica-wd4vz]

Thank you for uploading this video. I like the song and the movie Working Girl, 1989, I was 17 years old. Greetings from Chile!

[@MyInvisibleChyrsalis]

I miss when actors were in the soundtrack music videos. I miss soundtracks. Now I gotta go watch this movie, everybody was in it. The hairspray alone

[@MyInvisibleChyrsalis]

@Michael Henry bro, i was born in the 80s. Yikes. Drink some metamucil

[@baylinkdashyt]

Yup: getting your song in the soundtrack of a Major Motion Picture just jumped it's budget and quality up by a factor of 10, at least. It's sort of cheating... :-)

[@broussard41]

Remember when the going gets tough by Billy Ocean from Jewel of the Nile? Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner and Danny Devito were in the video

[@theglamourisgone5669]

Working Girl is a great one.

She is quite a beautiful woman even considering her current age. I understand this by her great nature and kindness. A legend.

[@deccadente]

Santiagueño CARP la película es una de mis preferidas de siempre y para siempre lo será. Quizás la haya visto más de 15 veces... pero nunca me cansa!! Te recomiendo que la veas si puedes; no te decepcionará

[@patkawasaki]

I'm almost default against "chick-flicks", but this film shows that female themes don't have to be dumbed-down. I was always a fan, and when I got the DVD for my wife (when she and her friends go to the cinema, the choice of film forces me to bite my tongue...) , she was hooked straight away. What a song and cast!

[@HH-qm2gc]

Love the tension and release in the music. Especially on the phrase "Oh my heart is aching".

[@koppsr]

Love this song, it was absolutely perfect in Working Girl, both for the intro and for the ending.

[@danieltan2270]

Agreed. By itself, it is just good but the music is perfect for the movie. Blends well.

[@johnboy32064]

I watched this last night. Still a wonderful film. And this song couldn’t be more perfect for this movie. Nichols and Simon had a great working relationship with three films - “Heartburn”, “Working Girl” and “Postcards From the Edge” between 1986-1990. Became the first artist to win an Oscar, a Golden Globe and a Grammy for one song composed, written and sung by a single artist.

[@brilensmit]

Awesome Oscar winning song. Powerful performance with her wonderfully smooth tones is what makes it great for me!!!

[@viciaddixi8820]

I can't not weep when Jack stands up for Tess at the elevators and Oren slips out of the doors to listen to the two of them, leaving everyone else that just wants to sign their deal. There's something glorious about that little scene that is missing in the real life of many audience members I think.

[@One-ct3xe]

It would be so nice for people to go against the flow 😢 Harrison Ford just straight up believes in her so much!

[@kats8229]

It just hits differently its like a song tht gets in ya veins. Luv it i always come bk 2 this.

[@eugestrella]

I can't have enough of this song... it is just perfect, sublime... Carly, you are timeless.

[@ZootLives]

This song's been my morning alarm for God knows how long. Probably since 2020. I personally hope that when the forthcoming Working Girl musical coming to Broadway, this song is included. I could definitely see it as an opening and possibly closing number.

[@ricardo_saboya]

Watching this on a boat going to work makes total difference! Hahaha ....almost crying here. What a song! Crazy lyrics but ok...Love it! Love from Portugal!

[@Shmoosan]

This just popped up, she always has a way of making me feel strong, wobbly, happy & sad at the same time! Beautiful song, beautiful voice, beautiful woman.

[@paty3105]

A masterpiece indeed! Carly is an excellent singer and songwriter! 😍😍😍😍😍😍 Love the 80's! I was a child but If I could go back in time... I really miss that time when people were friendlier and more understanding!!!

[@granadagreens1964]

We’re still out there 💪

[@russs7574]

I should be bummed that I am now officially old. But I am glad that I grew up when I did (high school class of '73). Like the T-shirt says, "I may be old, but I got to see all the cool bands live." (Like $5 to see The Who, and a free concert in the park featuring Aerosmith and Brownsville Station.)

I saw this movie at the theater when it came out. I remember hearing Carly Simon's song on the theater's great sound system. It's hard to believe that it was 31 years ago.

[@ProperGirl-q3f]

Every intelligent career oriented young woman must watch this movie. I watch it every time I get a promotion. It's a been an amazing motivator. Every time I get rejected, I think of Tess. Don't give up, persevere, keep working at it and you ll achieve your dreams. So far I've achieved everything I had hoped I would in my career, having failed many many times like Tess.

[@jacklyn6253]

I would think that you deserve far more credit for your wisdom and your insight than for your gender. No?

[@jjpp2216]

I love that Carly Simon unapologetically has a great overbite, a small gap in her teeth, and is so naturally beautiful. No surgical watering down of her individuality.

[@dvchel]

@J Jpp221 Yep, good times. You know, back when there was a greater emphasis on well-informed and grounded Patriotism. Not so much obsession with the shiny, fake and glamorized appearance. Carly Simon had her voice and standing strong/proud. All the qualities you need.

[@alanrennox7340]

An incredibly beautiful woman and so talented too.

[@catherineeasting9508]

I agree. Have you seen her recently, though? Unrecognisable. Ruined by plastic surgery:(

[@JackIronwood]

I was born in '76...I remember her voice from when I was very young. Musical artists today, rarely have the class that this lady had.

[@nerissasmith449]

WTF? Yeah, I don't listen to CS, and I'm not sure why they dredged up this fossil of a song and put it in my recommended list. Not a bad song, but weird. I've gotten a lot of older song and things showing up in my list lately.

[@veronicacurvietto9082]

Hi! I shared this video this evening. Great song and great movie!!!!

[@wonderglory]

The, "Working Girl," closing credits version along with the post-9/11 USPS Holiday commercial version should be intertwined. The intertwined version should then be available, as a charity single, for COVID-19 relief causes.

[@Hgood1]

Carly Simon is the ultimate. I was left breathless years ago when I passed her on Central Park West. Her music is the songbook of my life. Love huh.

[@russellbride]

I first heard this song at the end of the film when Melanie Griffith says "Guess where I am" ... so powerful!

[@javiermachin1]

This song takes me to my Mom and Dad Young, early twenties. Fresh out of Pedagogics School @ Xalapa, Mexico They arrived at Mexico City just after WW2. With just a few possessions and Very little money. Renting an apartment, working hard. Elementary school teachers. Barely making ends meet. Raising kids on love and values, and little else. They gave me everything. I owe them the world. Everything I’ve come to love and enjoy and appreciate, I owe to them. Work hard, educate yourself and your kids. May God bless your Family.
