# Richard Harris MacArthur Park (Piano Cover by PianistMiri) Canonical watch page: https://www.girl-stream.com/watch/richard-harris-macarthur-park-piano-cover-by-pianistmiri-v201809 Language: en Published: 2024-10-01T17:46:31+00:00 Source creator: PianistMiri Duration: 551 seconds ## Description An interesting fact about "MacArthur Park" is that it was originally written by Jimmy Webb and was initially offered to The Association, who turned it down. The song, with its surreal and complex lyrics about love and loss (including the famous line about leaving a cake out in the rain), became a major hit for Richard Harris in 1968. Its unconventional structure and nearly seven-minute length made it stand out, defying typical radio-friendly formats of the time. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #richardharris #macarthurpark #pianocover #pianistmiri #60smusic #viralcover #musicvideo #pianoperformance #iconicsongs #youtubemusic #trendingmusic #classichits #legendarymusic #viralmusic #musiclovers ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOLLOW PianistMiri: SUBSCRIBE for a smile! ➔ https://tinyurl.com/2n92mjye DISCORD || https://discord.com/invite/hwktBvs FACEBOOK || https://www.facebook.com/pianistmiri INSTAGRAM || https://www.instagram.com/pianistmiri KICK || https://www.kick.com/pianistmiri MERCH || https://pianistmiri-2.creator-spring.com PATREON || https://www.patreon.com/pianistmiri PAYPAL || https://www.paypal.me/pianistmirilee STREAMLABS || https://streamlabs.com/pianistmiri/tip TWITCH || https://www.twitch.tv/pianistmiri TWITTER || https://www.twitter.com/pianistmiri Would love to receive your snail mails and cards!

I recall the yellow cotton dress Foaming like a wave On the ground around your knees The birds, like tender babies in your hands And the old men playing checkers by the trees MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark All the sweet, green icing flowing down Someone left the cake out in the rain I don't think that I can take it 'Cause it took so long to bake it And I'll never have that recipe again Oh no! There will be another song for me For I will sing it There will be another dream for me Someone will bring it I will drink the wine while it is warm And never let you catch me looking at the sun And after all the loves of my life After all the loves of my life You'll still be the one I will take my life into my hands and I will use it I will win the worship in their eyes and I will lose it I will have the things that I desire And my passion flow like rivers through the sky And after all the loves of my life Oh, after all the loves of my life I'll be thinking of you And wondering why MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark All the sweet, green icing flowing down Someone left the cake out in the rain I don't think that I can take it 'Cause it took so long to bake it And I'll never have that recipe again Oh no! Oh no No Oh no! This page provides video metadata, not a transcript. Watch the video on the canonical page.
