Town Without Pity, by Dimitri Tiomkin and Ned Washington (Gene Pitney)

this is one of the most powerful expressions of the oppresion of young love by an ignorant, callous adault world. oddly enough, it was written as the theme song for a movie about military injustice that had nothing to do with the song. it was both one of my favorite movies and songs when i was a ten year old boy larning about the world through movies and songs,.

Loved the song - loved the movie! You capture the angst of the song well! My mother who got married at 17 was super strict with me. Different rules, different problems.
