The origin and history of Unchained Melody
A brief journey through the origin and history of the song "Unchained Melody"
OhOh my love
Oh my darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long and lonely time
And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine
I need your love
I need your love
I need your love
God speed your love to me
Lonely rivers fall to the sea, to the sea
To the open arms of the sea
Lonely rivers sigh
Wait for me
Wait for me
I'll be coming home
Wait for me
OhOh my love
Oh my darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long and lonely time
And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine
I need your love
I need your love
I need your love
God speed your love to me
Speed to me
God speed your love to me
Need your love
Need your love
Need your love
I need your love
Need your love
Need your love
Need your love
I need your love
Need your love
Need your love
Need your love
I need your love
“Unchained Melody”
is a 1955 song with music by Alex North and lyrics by Hy Zaret. North used the
music as a theme for the little-known prison film Unchained, hence the name.
Todd Duncan sang the vocals for the film soundtrack.
It has since become a standard and one of the most
recorded songs of the 20th century, most notably by the Righteous Brothers.
According to the song’s publishing administrator, over
1,500 recordings of “Unchained Melody” have been made by more than 670 artists
in multiple languages.
The July 1965 version by the Righteous Brothers, performed
as a solo by Bobby Hatfield, became a jukebox standard for the late 20th
century. This version achieved a second round of great popularity when it was
featured in the 1990 blockbuster film Ghost.
