My mother died 4 years ago and she played Al Bowlly all the time. This brings back so many memories of her, such a lovely lady. I knew it would bring tears on listening, but I had to anyway.

Finally, a recording of this song NOT from the Shinning! It's nice to hear it without the concert-hall filter for a change. :)

Bowlly's tragic death in the London Blitz in 1941 i feel has led him to be overlooked a lot. He had a sweet voice & is credited with starting the crooning style. Nice easy listening music.

Al Bowlly's Midnight continues to haunt. No wonder Kubrick played it in the credits of *The Shining*. What a band we had in Ray Noble's Orchestra, what an arrangement, what a song, what a voice !

What a lovey old song. They don't make songs - or singers - like this any more. A true gentleman.

This is the opening song to a series of albums by a 14 year old artist called “The Carebear”. The album series is called “Everywhere at the beginning of nowhere”, and the first song is slowed version of this called “I’ll be remembering you”. Its a series dedicated to replicate the effects of dementia in audio form.

I Love this song it transports me to a time I did not live but it makes me verry happy.

This song has gave me chills for over 15 years

A fantastic song.

WHAT A VOICE

Lovely old fashioned big band sound...just love this lot!!

When my Grandma was passing in 2017 we played this and it made her smile.

I like that they used to live broadcast stuff like this on the radio from various night clubs, tea rooms and hotels. They should bring that back.

Bowlly is not to blame that this is one of the scariest songs ever

How grand it is to listen to this music! I wish we still had the opportunity to dance to it as well

9 lines of short lyrics, that's what an impact of a great song can do - making it sound alot more than it is. This song is a beauty, a work of art.

As a kid i remember my dad singing Al Bowllly songs ,He loved Al . Dad was a Dunkirk POW. and sang to his camp mates, with five years to do he had lots of time.

the best recording of this on youtube! sounds like it was recorded yesterday afternoon not in 1934. you can hear things on it you just cant on other postings champagne!!!

I'm surprised this song still hasn't made it into a fallout game.

A song of beauty, nearly 90 years old

Sweet, innocent and romantic.

GOD! I LOVE THIS BEAUTIFUL SONG!

I was born in the wrong century.... surely I would have found my soulmate....

I'll be remembering you

Un brano senza tempo che non mi stancherò mai di ascoltare, grazie AL

Music can be so powerful when used in the right setting, and it fit so well at the end of the Shining. Perfectly added to the eeriness of the whole scene. I even started to listen to other Al Bowlly songs because of it.

Can you believe this song is almost 100 years old?

I can see my Mum & Dad dance to this on New Years Day under a tropic moon. Romantic or what!!

This is WAY older than me but I love it way more than today's mudic:)!

The Shining brought me here !

The perfect ending for Kubrick's 'The Shining'!

Rest in peace, Al. You are loved.

Absolutely wonderful singer.

Strangely compelling, just gets me this song.

"That's swell. I like you, Lloyd. I always liked you. You were always the best of 'em. Best god-damn bartender from Timbuktu to Portland, Maine - or Portland, Oregon, for that matter."

Agree , Jack Rescoe & Barbara nichols. This music and rendition is from a very special era. It is indeed 82 years old, and Al Bowly did lose his life in a German air raid, but to hear this song and to understand the times , provides a flight into history ; a time of hope and trust in the shadow of changing circumstances.The competence and committment of the dance band orchestra players back then, and Al Bowly and his calmness is a wonderful tapestry, of confidence in what was finally going to be, in freedom.

Best time traveling I've heard in years!

me encanata!!!!

i think its romantic. i love kubrick but just listen to the song. its sweet.

Came from EITBON, didn’t realize Al Bowlly made another banger

Truly entrancing with the magnificent Ray Noble Orchestra and, was it really so effortless?, Al Bowlly.

"All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy."

Listening now...I mixed up The Very Thought of you and this one in my mind so had to listen to them again. It is nice to dream while this music plays :)

This song beats the rubbish of the spice girls and cliff richard anyday, At least you can make out the words, You have to have been in love ...true love...The persuite of real dignified courtship to enjoy and recognise the lyrics ..It takes me back to a time of caring,,,,,, Sleep well Al .. Geoff....

Love hearing this song at the end of every John Bachlor radio broadcast.

Brilliantly fantastic voice .

My favorite Al Bowlly and Ray Noble song! My second favorite is The Very Thought Of You! There is just something very special when you combine the amazing orchestra of Noble and the great vocal work by Bowlly. Thanks for sharing!

listening to this serene song just before going to bed, enables me to dream sweetly.

al bowlly was handsome!

this is a great song, with a great music, and perfect piano play.

This song is outta 1934 !! Wow. Jus looked it up!!

One of his best, I would think.

There's now another star in the heavens, to be sure.

ahhh midnight, the stars and Bioshock :)

...pass thre chocolate ice cream, doc.....this music is timeless...there must be a million songs I will never hear that are timeless, too

Ahhh ive been looking for the version of this song that didn't sound echoey like the version from the shining

Lovely...no other word expresses it better. Thanks for sharing this .

QUE PEDAZO DE TEMA ESTE CANTANTE TIENE QUE SER UN ANGEL QUE SENSIBILIDAD QUE TALENTO LA ORQUESTA ES PERFECTA QUE PASADA DE TEMA YO LE DOY MIL CORAZONES Y ES PARA LLEVAR AL MAS ALLA Y LO SABEMOS ...........

Al Bowlly and Glenn Miller, two victims of this absurd war.

this makes me miss whatever it was they had., -Thanks

"I should know sir, i've always been here"

my favorite Al Bowlly song !

Thank you again

Can remember signing this with my nana Elaine. We put her to rest today. RIP

soo calm... soo good

Super Video. Very nice accompaniment.

This is the best presentation on KZfaq .Thank you so much - hauntingly beautiful.

I love this both because The Shining is one of my favorite horror films of all time, and I am a huge fan of Stanley Kubrick. Secondly, I absolutely love the Bioshock series. I really enjoy hearing this song!

I love this stuff! Such great dance music.

This song was actually recorded in 1934 not 1921 as implied in the Stanley Kubrick classic horror film "The Shining". It worked so well in the film though. This music had a very creepy ominous feel to it in the Shining especially at the end of the film.

What a beautiful song makes you feel like you were really lived during this era beautiful lyrics and music makes you wanna dance with a gorgeous sexy man from that era!!!!!

Love it....

Wonderful

"Here's Johnny!"

The Best Sheriff of all time brought here

So natural. Complete. Draw the best. Wish and be part of. Beauty..

Bellísima música, muy tarde ha llegado a mi!!

his voice wasthe best!joe overby atlanta ga

interesting to note that the flashback in the film is supposed to be in 1921, but this music was composed in 1934. An anachronism that doesn't prevent the film from being amazing!

Finally found out this song!

forever a haunting super top hit.

No sé qué decir la verdad, quiero comentar algo, pero no sé qué siento cada vez que escucho esta canción, ¡es algo fantástico! Es parte de mi vida desde la infancia, así como a todas las personas a las que les gusta brillar. ;)

Una pieza maravillosa.

Came back here after toy story 4, what a wonderful song

I like this song

If it weren't for the film "The shining" his song would of faded from memory.The film gave it a second life.

Thank you 1930's and you

Wow. He recorded over 1000 records.

Nettie, Not your generation but Al Bowley was killed in an air raid after leaving a concert in London, He entered his flat a air raid and his door blew off in his face and only a small injury but killed him..I love this era of music.. Geoff.....

man its eerie not seeing any everywhere at the end of time comments on here...

fab! makes you feel good music superb thankyou...

This song I believe was recorded in the 30's but at the ending of Kubrick's "The Shining" they imply that this song was playing at the 1921 July 4th ball at the Overlook Hotel. A ball that was held at the hotel 70 years prior to the Torrences arrival. Going by the films release date in 1980.
