Michel Legrand

Michel Legrand

Michel Legrand es un compositor y cantante francés, nacido en París el 24 de febrero de 1932. Desde los 10 a los 21 años estudió en el Conservatorio de Música de París y luego estudió siete años con Nadia Boulanger. Sus inclinaciones musicales lo llevaron siempre a escribir canciones (siendo él mismo un cantante). Luego del éxito de su primer álbum Amo a París, trabajó con varios grandes del jazz como Miles Davis y John Coltrane en su siguiente álbum Legrand jazz. Cuando comenzó a trabajar en música para filmes, tuvo un gran éxito, ya que no sólo componía canciones pegadizas sino que componía material orquestal de un fuerte sentido lírico. Muchas de su música son para películas francesas (como las del director Jean-Luc Godard) pero también produjo para un buen número de películas estadounidenses, como The Thomas Crown affair (con su conocido tema The windmills of your mind, ?los molinos de viento de tu mente?), Verano del ?42 y Yentl

Letra de The Windmills of your Mind (from "The Thomas Crown
Round like a circle in a spiral like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending on beginning on an ever-spinning reel
Like a snowball down a mountain or a carnival balloon
Like a carousel that's turning running rings around the moon
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping past the minutes on its face
And the world is like an apple spinning silently in space
Like the circles that you find In the windmills of your mind
Like a tunnel that you follow to a tunnel of its own
Down a hollow to a cavern where the sun has never shone
Like a door that keeps revolving in a half-forgotten dream
Like the ripples from a pebble someone tosses in a stream
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping past the minutes on its face
And the world is like an apple spinning silently in space
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind

Keys that jingle in your pocket
Words that jangle in your head
Why did summer go so quickly?
Was it something that I said?
Lovers walk along a shore
And leave their footprints in the sand
Was the sound of distant drumming
Just the fingers of your hand?
Pictures hanging in a hallway
Or the fragment of a song
Half-remembered names and faces
But to whom do they belong?
When you knew that it was over
Were you suddenly aware
That the autumn leaves were turning
To the color of her hair?
Like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning
On an ever-spinning reel
As the images unwind
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind
