Moon River
Westlife · Allow Us To Be Frank
I’m crossing you in style, some day,
Oh dream maker, you heart breaker,
Wherever you’re goin’, I’m goin’ your way,
Two drifters, off to see the world,
There’s such a lot of world to see,
We’re after the same rainbows end,
Waitin’ ‘round the bend,
My Huckleberry friend,
Moon River, and me!
Moon River, wider than a mile,
I’m crossing you in style, some day . . .
Two drifters, off to see the world,
There’s such a lot of world to see,
We’re after the same rainbows end,
Waitin’ ‘round the bend,
My Huckleberry friend,
Moon River, and me!
Moon River, and me . . .
Moon River - Westlife
Westlife's "Moon River" stands as a standout track from their 2004 album "Allow Us To Be Frank," blending the group's signature harmonies with a sophisticated jazz-pop arrangement. The song draws inspiration from Henry Mancini's classic composition, reimagining its melancholic melody within the context of the band's mid-2000s sound. This recording exemplifies the group's ability to reinterpret well-known standards, creating a lush, atmospheric piece that showcases their vocal chemistry and songwriting depth. Released during a period of significant commercial success, the track remains a notable example of Westlife's evolution, merging pop sensibilities with the emotional resonance characteristic of their broader discography.
