I remember when I first watched the movie. I was 18 and visiting frends in Mildenhall for several days. They happened to have the movie, and so one night I watched it. Then I stayed up and watched it two more times!

I especially love the dreaminess and longing in this song, which appears at least twice in the movie:

"Bright Eyes" from the movie "Watership Down"
perfomed by Art Garfunkel and written by Mike Batt.
A good summary of life and death:

(The first video has some hiccups in the music, unfortunately)

Okay, here's track 10, "Bright Eyes," without any hiccups (but no hopping rabbits ):



And to finish off my online homage to "Bright Eyes," here's Art Garfunkel singing it!

P.S. ^ There's some activity for ya.
