My girlfriend recorded this song for me on a tape player. When she left me for another, I would play this over and over getting all choked up. She was the love of my life up to that point. When I Ieft to start a new life , literally in a new country, I exited the plane playing the song one final time. As I walked across that hot tarmac to the airport entrance, the song played out in my walkman. The door's parted open, like a giant welcoming embrace to walk into. The song ended, the last cord faded off and right before me was a waste receptacle. I popped open the cassette player , took out the tape and dropped it in. The pain was no more. Two months later, I met my wife to be. This song always carries me back to my first love.

I recently turned 65 years old too. Just left a long comment on this Nadia's Theme .. it had me in tears hearing it again as I probably have not heard it since the 1970's. Mixed with some painful and some sweet memories. Like you, I often wonder what might have been had I made other choices. We are alive now, and we can still dream. Always keep hope!

This song has a new meaning for me because in recent years, a cousin of mine married into Nadia's family. I find it interesting that the song was originally called "Cottons Dream," then it became "Nadia's Theme," and now it's prominent in "The Young and the Restless" as its theme and background music.

In the 1976 summer Olympics, a young gymnast by the name of Nadia Comaneci, performed her floor routine, and her balance beam routine to this music. That's when it became "Nadia's Theme". I was 11 years old, and remember watching the Olympics that summer, and was totally captivated by her. Nadia's Theme: The Young and the Restless is the full title.

Most people never realize that this piece was not written for the Young and the Restless.. and it was not written for or about Nadia Comaneci.. and it was not written to become a radio hit.. and it was not written by Henry Mancini. No, it was composed by Barry De Vorzon and Perry Botkin Jr. as "Cotton's Dream" for the score of the motion picture Bless the Beasts and Children where it made a very wonderful impact and remembrance. So here's thinking of you, Cotton, and your squad of brave and wondrous souls. Love you guys :-)

Best daytime soap opera music

When I heard this song I knew it was time to quieten down because grandma's stories was coming on. You didn't talk or made any noise when grandma's stories came on.

Grandma 's stories... never said better!

That took me back to my childhood,late 80s ..

This is a very beautiful and touching melody ~ every time I listen ~ I am moved to tears (both happy and sad tears) thinking of long-lost love, and all the loved ones that are now gone and the memories we shared ~ I think the melody somehow captivates and moves me through all the triumphs and tragedies that I have experienced at one time or another ~ "The Young and the Restless" was my late sister's favorite show and I remember watching it with her ~ this song is easily on the 'soundtrack of my life' ~

Wow, I can truly identify with that. During summer vacations when I was growing up, every activity that took place every morning revolved around my Mom and Grandmother being in front of the tv by 11:30 to watch The Young and the Restless. And I'm not ashamed to say I liked it too. : )

Somehow this theme has a haunting effect. Once you listen to it , it goes on ringing in your mind.

I can't count down how many times I've heard this song and returned it to the beginning again

The young and the restless. Victor and Nikki. Always brings memories of my mother.

What absolutely beautiful comments to read while listening to such absolutely beautiful music. Humans are amazing 😊❤❤❤❤😊

True masterpiece

It's 2021 and I still come back to this. Just brings back good memories. Timeless

It reminds me of my Dad also! He was not a musician but he loved music and made sure all of us kids learned to play piano and/or an instrument. And he had superb means of playing it, with speakers in every corner of our living-room. He would really feel it and sometimes pretended like he was conducting an orchestra. He said he had piano lessons as a child on the farm, but only knew one little one-hand tune on the piano and he forgot even that with time. But he never lost his love of music. I can still see him standing in front of the stereo or Ampex or whatever back then, loving those famous classical compositions! He would put something on and lay in his recliner to relax after a lengthy day's work) (surgery began at 7:00 a.m. and after that, he had office hours). He would tell us "wake me up in half an hour" so he could go out and work in our garden in the summer.

Like most people here, I've watched The Young and the Restless with my mom. The logo stuck in my mind and I even remembering doodling it on notebooks when remembering the theme song. It stuck so much that it embedded into the fabric of my mind. It has so much longing, hope, sadness and beauty in one song. This piece is a prime example of so much being conveyed without words, only music. Truly a work of art.

To everyone who has lost your mother or loved one I support you. I lost my mom 10 yrs ago and my sister 4 yrs ago as well, not to mention my dad and a older and younger brother due to cancer, a stroke and diabetes. Thanks for listening and my prayers are with you all. 💐💓👍

When I was a junior high school student, the melody of this song was deeply engraved in my heart like other impressive tracks. My father bought an amplifier+speaker with CD player at that time, and I probably have heard it from a certain CD. With the advancement of the Internet, I found the source of many familiar melodies at that time, except this one. until now

We can appreciate all the many composers and orchestra leaders to bring us such music but Henry Mancini is the one who brings the most extraordinary music of them all. Most incredible!

Not Henry Mancini! "Nadia's Theme", originally titled "Cotton's Dream", is a piece of music composed by Barry De Vorzon and Perry Botkin Jr in 1971. It was originally used as incidental music for the 1971 film Bless the Beasts and Children, and is better known as the theme music to the television soap opera The Young and the Restless since the series premiered in 1973. "Cotton's Dream" was renamed "Nadia's Theme" after it became associated with Olympic gymnast Nadia Comăneci during and after the 1976 Summer Olympics -Wiki Entry

I've been in love with this piece of music ever since a music teacher played it for us in my 3rd grade class. He turned off the overhead lights, had us close our eyes and lay our heads down on our desks and just LISTEN. He played it twice. The violin and harp thrilled me and reached inside my heart awakening something deep within me. I'd never been moved like that before. I've LOVED it ever since. After that, it haunted me and I needed to be able to hear it over and over, so it was the second album I ever owned. For years, even into adulthood, oftentimes when I listened to it, I'd weep... it was like I was "hearing the sound of my own soul" or something... It's always been that deeply moving to me. When this music became associated with Nadia Comaneci during and after the "76 Olympics I decided to start gymnastics soon afterward. Eventually, I learned a soap opera used it as the show's theme song, which felt like a degradation to this extraordinarily beautiful piece of audial heaven. But the music itself came to me first, so I chose to simply ignore the soap opera thing and just allow myself to get lost in the exquisiteness which is Nadia's Theme.🎶💕🎶🥰🎶💕🎶

Nadia Comaneci never used this as her floor routine music. This has been associated with Y&R since 1973, well before ABC attached it to any Nadia montage.

@@conniefields3543 I never heard of the soap opera until several years after hearing the music when it was already being called "Nadia's Theme." It wasn't until the mid 1980's that I learned that a slightly different and shorter version of what I knew as "Nadia's Theme" was called "Cotton's Dream" and that it was the music for the soap opera Y&R. And you are correct, she did not perform gymnastics to it. BUT "Cotton's Dream" actually did become associated with Nadia Comaneci late that summer due to a montage of her "76 Olympics routines (put together by ABC's Wide World of Sports using it as the background music) which aired in America late that same summer. “Nadia’s Theme” which was identical to “Cotton’s Dream” but with a repeat from the bridge to the end to lengthen it, was released almost immediately after that and was in the Billboard Hot 100 for the rest of the year. "Nadia's Theme" was also used in a TV special about her which aired late in 1976 called, “Nadia-From Romania with Love.” Thus, the connections between the music and the gymnast, which prompted me to officially take up gymnastics, as well as be in love with the song ever since.

When I was 4 I always heard this song coming from the living room tv while my mom was watching soap operas and I never thought I'll hear it again until now

I was a just a toddler when I first remember hearing this song play as my mom would watch Young & the Restless. It's the only thing I ever remember from that show other than the sequence played during the song.

When I got married we didn't walk down the isle to the wedding march but to this. My husband is now my ex but I'll always love this song and the man he used to be. Both will be forever in my heart.

When I was a kid I remember hearing my older sister sitting at the piano and playing this. And then I would hear it on tv. Now, at almost 40, I am sitting here listening to this song and I am remembering that time in my life and I’m missing my sister(who died three years ago).
