About This Song

About "A Dream Discarded (From "Memoirs of a Geisha" Soundtrack)" by John Williams

A dream discarded doesn't shatterβ€”it sinks. Williams uses a solitary piano and muted strings to trace the slow deflation of hope. The melody is a paper lantern drifting downstream, still glowing, but already resigned to the dark.
