He is most well known for the hit song 'The Windmills of Your Mind' on the 'The Thomas Crown Affair' soundtrack. [1]
It won best song at the 1968 Oscars and as been sung by many well known singers. The other day the mic was pictured on Saturn, and as we know the mic is to do with the singers. This recent lunar eclipse was also important for Canada.
He was born on the 29th January 1934, an Aquarian born in London. There are two different dates of his passing on his profile. It says that he died of a heart attack several hours after he had given a performance on the 19th, and that was the 'Day of Independence'.
The 20th of October is the 'Day of Influence', and he certainly influenced many singers with this song. He loved sport and he was an Olympic skier as well. He represented his country GB. Noel is an unusual name, and it is written that it is most popular in Holland. Usually associated with the Christmas Nativity, and its Christmas Carol.
Its no surprise that he passed over in late Autumn, because he sang about the Autumn leaves turning to the color of HER hair when it was over.
When his house in Canada burned down in 1974, it is written that he rebuilt it without electricity, he was inspired by pioneers Helen and Scott Nearing's self-help book, 'Living the Good Life'. Of course, 1974 was still the days of the flower power children, and the inspiration to live off the grid as continued ever since.
He was certainly inspired to live in a different way to others; and was blessed financially to be able to do so. I am sure that he could've helped the children of his nation more than he did. Another reason why his house burned down in Canada. He will do better next time when he reincarnates.
"WINDMILLS OF YOUR MIND"
Noel Harrison RIP
From the lyrics of the song.
Why did summer go so quickly?Was it something that I said?
Lovers walk along a shore.
And leave their footprints in the sand.
Was the sound of distant drumming
Just the fingers of your hand?
Pictures hanging in a hallway
Or the fragment of a song.
Half-remembered names and faces
But to whom do they belong?
When you knew that it was over
Were you suddenly aware
That the autumn leaves were turning
To the color of HER hair?
