"Another Time, Another Place" is a song by Engelbert Humperdinck, the title track of his 1971 LP. It became an international hit, reaching No. 13 in the United Kingdom[1] and No. 16 in Canada.[2]
The song was written by Mike Leander & Eddie Seago. It was an unsuccessful entrant in a concert, but it would later find success with Engelbert Humperdinck.[3][4] It was released in the UK on Decca (F 13212) in August 1971,[5] and in the US on Parrot (45-40065).[6]
In late 1971, the song peaked at No. 43 in the US. It also made No. 5 on the US Adult Contemporary chart.[7] For the week ending November 27, 1971, Billboard recorded its chart positions at No. 10 in Belgium, No. 2 in Malaysia and No. 2 in Singapore.[8]
"Somewhere", sometimes referred to as "Somewhere (There's a Place for Us)" or simply "There's a Place for Us", is a song from the 1957 Broadway musical West Side Story that was made into films in 1961 and 2021. The music is composed by Leonard Bernstein with lyrics by Stephen Sondheim.
In a 1998 interview for a documentary on Bernstein, Sondheim expressed dissatisfaction with his lyrics for the song, going so far as to call them "embarrassing". He stated that he did not like the fact that in the opening line, the stressed note falls on the word "a" - in his view, the least significant word.[1]
In the stage musical, the song appears in the second act of the show during the Somewhere Ballet. It is performed by an off-stage soprano singer and is later reprised by the entire company. In the original Broadway production, "Somewhere" was sung by Reri Grist who played the role of Consuelo.
In the 1961 film, the song occurs at a pivotal point, after the rumble in which Tony (Richard Beymer) has stabbed Maria's brother, Bernardo (George Chakiris). Having nowhere else to go, Tony runs to Maria (Natalie Wood), who has just been told of her brother's death and who killed him. When Tony comes to her room through the balcony window, Maria, in shock, pounds against his chest.
As in the stage show, Maria sings the first few lines of the song as Tony dies in her arms. In 2004, this version finished at #20 on AFI's 100 Years...100 Songs survey of top tunes in American cinema.
"Somewhere" is the only track that is out of sequence on the original soundtrack album as it is the last track on Side 2. This is rectified on the CD as "Somewhere" is correctly placed in sequence to the film between "The Rumble" and "Cool."
In the 2021 film, the song takes place after "I Feel Pretty," like in the stage show, except now it is sung by Valentina (Rita Moreno), a reworked version of the character Doc. The ballet is again omitted, like in the 1961 film.[2] This version was also used to underscore the film's teaser trailer, which premiered during the 93rd Academy Awards telecast on April 25, 2021.[3]
In 1964, P. J. Proby released his version of "Somewhere", which reached numbers six on the British and eight on the Australian singles charts.[4][5] The song also charted well in various European countries.
In 1965, the Supremes recorded the song for their album, There's a Place for Us, though it went unreleased until 2004. They also used it for their debut appearance at the Copacabana nightclub in New York City and it eventually became a fixture of their nightclub acts. They also sang the song on The Ed Sullivan Show and The Hollywood Palace. In contrast to the original melody, a special dramatic monologue was incorporated, which was frequently changed in conjunction with changes in the group as well as the country's turmoil in the late 1960s.
Yes, there's a place for each of us,
And we must try to pursue this place.
Where love is like a passion, that burns like a fire,
Let our efforts be as determined as that of Dr. Martin Luther King,
Who had a dream that all God's children,
Black men, white men, Jews, Gentiles, Protestants, and Catholics,
Could join hands and sing that spiritual of old:
"Free at last! Thank God Almighty, free at last!"
In 1985, American singer, songwriter, actress and director Barbra Streisand released a version of "Somewhere" as a single from the Grammy Award-winning The Broadway Album. In the United States, it narrowly missed the top 40 on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number 43, but fared better on the Adult Contemporary chart, peaking at number five.[7] It also peaked at number 88 on the UK Singles Chart.[8] The song itself won the Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying Vocal(s). In 2011, a duet was produced using scenes from Streisand's version while Jackie Evancho performed live with David Foster at the Ringling Museum of Art. On her 2014 Partners album, she released a new recording of the song, this time as a duet with Josh Groban.
British singer Marianne Faithfull covered the song on her 2008 album Easy Come, Easy Go, a record of covers from different eras. Featuring english singer and musician Jarvis Cocker on vocals.
"Somewhere" was released as a single by English synth-pop duo Pet Shop Boys on June 23, 1997, to promote their "Somewhere" residency at the Savoy Theatre in London, which was named after the song, and to promote a repackage of Bilingual.
The single was another top-10 entry for the group, peaking at number 9 on the UK Singles Chart. The single also peaked at number 25 on the Billboard's Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart. It also peaked at number 19 on the US Hot Dance Club Play chart. In the United States, the song was released as a double A-side with "A Red Letter Day".
British magazine Music Week rated the song three out of five, noting Tennant's "emotionally controlled vocals and a thumping techno pop beat". They also concluded, "But despite its high drama, this is too overblown, even by PSB standards."[20] Editor Alan Jones felt that the duo "turns it from an emotional tour-de-force into a camp disco celebration, where its subleties are completely lost. Working with such a melodic and powerful song they can't help but succeed, however."[21] David Sinclair from The Times viewed it as a "questionable disco version" of the West Side Story standard.[22]
I have seen this asked a few times and wanted to clear this up to anyone confused or feeling like the song was never addressed again. The resolution to this plot-line is provided to you in Book 4: "The Shadow's Rising", chapters 25: "The Road to the Spear" and 26: "The Dedicated", which cover Rand's trip through the glass columns of Rhuidean, where he lives through the memories of his Aiel Ancestors. This post is basically an analysis of the history and lore we're given in those 2 chapters. Why? Because they're some of the most important and interesting chapters in the entire series... But they're also some of the hardest to pay attention to on your first read through and so i figure a lot of people misunderstand or forget about them.
Of course, I couldn't put it in a very accurate title as associating Tuatha'an and Aiel history is a spoiler, but this post is entirely about the Aiel and their chronological history, mostly taking place immediately after The Age of Legends and before the end of The Breaking, describing how the Aiel turned into the Tuatha'an and what events drove the Aiel down seperate paths.
If you're Brown Ajah or simply want to read and talk about Lore, read on further, though I warn you, after this summary blurb it's two entire chapters condensed into a series of interpreted quotes and lore. If you are just a simple Shepard and don't wish to read about Aiel savages, this spoiler blurb has the basics to Tuatha'ans song and their place in the Wheel of Time, without exploring the entire Aiel history:
The Tuatha'an's searching for a song is simply an extension of Robert Jordan's favourite theme, the alteration and loss of knowledge over time. "The Wheel of time turns, and Ages come and past, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth and even myth is long forgotten, when the Age that gave it birth comes again". The song is in fact based on the tales of Aiel only a few generations after The Breaking, when the younger folk listened to tales of their parents/Grandparents about the Age of Legends. These tales of an incredible time of peace and prosperity seemed an impossible dream to those younger folk who knew only the world they lived in during The Breaking, full of violent people and running, or searching. Those stories of better times get entwined with the tales of their singing and dancing in the festivals and Tree singing with the Ogier and Nym. After Millenia of these tales and words being twisted and interpreted, of the Aiel's purpose and history being forgotten, or abondoned, "The song" has become something of legend, and they are convinced by association, that if they can find it, it will bring back the age of legends.
"Go on Adan? How can we go on? There are no horses. There is almost no water, no food. All we have left are wagons full of things the Aes Sedai will never come for. What are they Adan! What are they that we should give our lives to haul them across the world, afraid to touch them even. We cannot go on as before!.... We are supposed to find a place of safety, and some of us mean to do that. My Great Father used to tell me stories as a boy, stories of when we lived in safety and people used to come hear us sing. We mean to find a place where we can be safe and sing again." - Sulwin, the Aiel who leads the group that would eventually become the Tuatha'an.
