Years ago I watched an animated movie version of 'The Last Unicorn' I've always wanted to find a soundtrack, 'cause the music was wonderful, but i've had no luck. can any of you help me?

Wow! Haven't read the book in an age. Anyway, I would start by finding the Video, which presumably, your tame video store will immediately stock for you. You can then research from the box, and contact the manufacturer. You'd be amazed how far I've gotten doing things like this. Conversely, you could just tape from the video.

I could have sworn Art Garfunkel wrote and sang the song I remember liking a lot. I could be wrong though - I often am.

A friend of mine was able to buy the soundtrack a couple of years ago ... in Germany. I don't think it's available in the US (yet?). i've lost touch with her, or i'd ask for a dub myself! it's wonderful music, definitely written by America.

Hello again Eluned! Lucky you caught the thread before it slipped off the bottom. Sometimes we get so involved with what's up top, that we don't get a chance to see what is about to disappear. I hadn't seen this one. Thanks BlueJay

No prob! I actually dug it up from the bottom of a 30-day refresh while looking for something else. Kind of a bother that we have to re-refresh everytime we stop to look at one of the threads in the refreshed area, although the trip is worth it; I miss a lot of good threads if I don't go back there/then and look around.

THE LAST UNICORN
(America)

     G    Am
  When the last eagle flies
                Fmaj7             G
  Over the last crumbling mountain
      Am
  And the last lion roars
          Fmaj7         G
  At the last dusty fountain
         Am            G
  In the shadow of the forest
              Fmaj7          G
  Though she may be old and worn
        F         G
  They will stare unbelieving
         C       G/D
  At the Last Unicorn
  
  When the first breath of winter
  Throught the flowers is icing
  And you look to the north
  And a pale moon is rising
  And it seems like all is dying
  And would leave the world to mourn
  In the distance hear her laughter
  It's the Last Unicorn
  
       C     Am           G   Am   G  Fmaj7
  I'm alive...     I'm ali - ve
  
  When the last moon is cast
  Over the last star of morning
  And the future is past
  Without even a last desparate warning
  Then look into the sky where through
  The cloudes a path is formed
  Look and see her how she sparkles
  It's the Last Unicorn
  
  I'm alive... I'm alive.

The CD is an import- you may have some luck searching under "Das Letzte Einhorn" If all else fails, Amazon.com has some for as little as $21

I'm horrorified at the fact that not a single person in my school has seen the movie. It is my sincerist hope that all the world will be united under the unicorn banner sing that lonely anthem of freedom. I will start a revolution, i will prove unicorns are real, and i will bring the world back to the innocence that it has forgotten without unicorns!

I never saw the movie; didn't even know it existed. The book is an old favorite, a battered paperback with a Gervasio Gallardo cover, re-read many times.

A side bit I always adored about this book is the thread of ballads & traditional song that run through it, particularly the onging giggle of the leader of the band of robbers writing and singing endless verses of a song about his (imagined) exploits. He wants to be as well known as Robin Hood, and is sure if he could ONLY play his ballad for Mr. Child, his fame would be secure. There are other snatches of things traditional or traditional sounding that Peter Beagle wrote. In the early days of the Cooper & Nelson & etc (I believe Paul Goelz at the time), Margaret Nelson took a witty bit from this book, set it to the tune of "Housewives Lament" and entertained us mightily ( "I knew when I loved by the way I behaved...")

I'm glad to hear the movie was good, because the book was grand.
