Kevin Spacey - Artificial flowers

Kevin Spacey as Bobby Darin in Beyond the sea
Lyrics
Alone in the world was poor little Anne
As sweet a young child as you'd find
Her parents had gone to their final reward
Leavin' their baby behind
This poor little child was only nine years of age
When mother and dad went away
Still she bravely worked
At the one thing she knew
To earn her few pennies a day
She made artificial flowers, artificial flowers
Flowers for ladies of fashion to wear
She made artificial flowers you know those artificial flowers
Fashions from Annie's despair
With paper and shears with some wire and wax
She made up each tulip and mum
As snowflakes drifted into her tenement room
Her baby little fingers grew numb
From makin' artificial flowers those artificial flowers
Flowers for ladies of high fashion to wear
She made artificial flowers artificial flowers
Made from Annie's despair
They found little Annie all covered in ice
Still clutchin' her poor frozen shears
Amidst all the blossoms she had fashioned by hand
And watered with all her young tears
There must be a heaven where little Annie can play
In heavenly gardens and bowers
And instea-a-ad of a halo she'll wear 'round her head
A garland of genuine flowers
No more artificial flowers
Throw away those artificial flowers
Flowers for ladies of society to wear
Throw away those artificial flowers
Those dumb-dumb flowers
Fashioned from Annie's
Fashioned from A-a-a-annie's des-pa-a-a-air
(Give her the real thing)

    Kevin sings with the joy every morning brings. If you want to test your home theater sound system, get the DVD of the movie “Beyond The Sea” The terrific music tracks were recorded both in London and in Berlin. What is great about this disc, is that Kevin’s voice is recorded to the center channel. This means that you can turn off all other speakers and hear the amazing solid musical quality of his voice. The disc is truly exceptional, it's GREAT....applause!

    Excellent, I love that movie !!! As Kevin Spacey did I also grew up hearing Bobby's songs, so when he produced the picture it was like a back to my childhood journey for me. I was 15 on December 20, 1973 and couldn't believe that Bobby was dead at 37 years young. To me he is like Argentina's Carlos Gardel who "sings better every day", cada día canta mejor !!! Bendiciones desde San Juan PR !!!

    Honest to god, if this song doesn't get you up and dancing- with someone or just yourself- you better check your pulse. Especially when those trombones slide around 2:30 in this song and the song rides out to the end. When I saw this in the theatre, I was the only one there for that Monday afternoon matinee but when this hit the screen, that brass screaming, it hit like a freight train. Great performance!!

    Darin’s singing was good but almost too good for the song. The lyrics are amazing but you don’t even get to pay attention to them because all of it goes to Darin’s amazing performance. While Spacey did great here, his performance isn’t as distracting and engaging, letting you take more away from the lyrics
