Beyond The Sea / La Mer (Charles Trenet/Bobby Darin cover) - Hit Waves Unplugged

More information about our band Hit Waves Unplugged: "Beyond the Sea" is a 1946 contemporary pop romantic love song by Jack Lawrence, with music taken from the song "La Mer" by Charles Trenet. Trenet had composed "La Mer" (which means "the Sea") with French lyrics completely different and unrelated to the English-language version that Lawrence later wrote. Trenet&French version was a homage and ode to the changing moods of the sea, while Lawrence, by just adding one word "Beyond" to the title, gave him the start whereby he made the song into one of a dear lover mourning for a lost love. It has been recorded by many artists, but Bobby Darin&version released in 1959 is the best known by many
