My version of Windmills of Your Mind. This was written by Legrand/Bergman and became best known sung by Noel Harrison (the son of Rex Harrison ) in the film The Thomas Crown Affair with Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway. The lyrics are not so easy to sing as there are lots of words and the phrasing is tricky. Noel Harrison almost spoke it and at quite a fast pace. José Feliciano did a nice version of this too. I'm playing a very simple arpeggio so its actually easy to play... just tricky together with the lyrics.
Anyway, I love these lyrics and find it one the most beautiful love songs ever written... hope you like it.

Chris, you definitely won't be needing a piece of cardboard around your neck with your name on it anytime soon ... lots of lyrics to remember there !
Very pleasant, I didn't detect any break in the rhythm of your well-paced picking. Your voice is great on this, I especially like the stretching out of the word "miiiind". :blink:

Chris,
Nicely played.. Sounded great on nylon strings. Great atmosphere too.
Thanks for sharing.

Chris,
Simply beautiful! You definitely had me a bit misty-eyed. I can see why it is your favourite love song. It really is a challenge for the lungs. But, you seemed to do it effortlessly. I really liked the simple accompaniment too.
I'm glad you took up the challenge. I was started to think that you mightn't.
Beautiful song and this is a lovely treatment of it.
