About This Song
About "Cockeye's Song (From "C'era Una Volta In America")" by Ennio Morricone
Cockeye's Song is a ghost's lullaby, its pan flute floating over a bed of muted strings. Morricone captures the ache of memory—a gangster's tender side, a friendship doomed by time. The tension is between the sweetness of the melody and the knowledge that it's already a relic, a song for the dead.
