Academy Awards, lyrics
In 1960 , Strange Are the Ways of Love was nominated for an Oscar in the "Best Song" category. However, the award went to Sammy Cahn and Jimmy Van Heusen for their song High Hopes from the comedy movie One Size Too Big .
The song tells of how overwhelming the rainbow colors of the autumn sky are, which only lovers can see, because the paths of love are strange. It is great not to be lonely anymore, because the hand of fate has long been overdue, even if you have forbidden yourself to dream of being with the other. One therefore knows how delicate young love can be, but the ways of love are strange.
