silent running

[sergebroom]

Fields of children running wild
In the sun
Like a forest is your child
Growing wild
In the sun
Doomed in his innocence
In the sun

Gather your children to your side
In the sun
Tell them what they love will die,
Tell them why
In the sun

Tell them it's not too late for today
One by one
Tell them to harvest and rejoice
In the sun

(Joan Baez's song for 1972's movie Silent Running.)

Huh.

I thought I'd heard most of her repertoire. I have several of her records (yes, vinyl), and I've heard more, but I don't recognize that one at all.

I love it when I, with my limited knowledge, manage to surprise even a connaisseur. Take note that her musical contribution was limited to the above, while the soundtrack proper was by Peter Schickele, aka PDQ Bach.
