when was the christmas song do you hear what i hear written
Do You Hear What I Hear? "Do You Hear What I Hear?" is a song written in October 1962, with lyrics by Noël Regney and music by Gloria Shayne Baker.[1] The pair, married at the time, wrote it as a plea for peace during the Cuban Missile Crisis.[2] Regney had been invited by a record producer to write a Christmas song, but he was hesitant due to the commercialism of the Christmas holiday.[3] It has sold tens of millions of copies and has been covered by hundreds of artists.[2]
The Dark Side of the Moon All lyrics written by Roger Waters.
Ramble On The song's lyrics were influenced by The Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien.[5] The opening line ("Leaves are falling all around") could be a paraphrase of the opening line of Tolkien's poem "Namárië".
