The story behind the song

"Golden Earrings" is described as a "dreamy gypsy melody," with a musical composition that evokes a non-Western, perhaps "Jewish" or "oriental" feel through its minor mode and altered scale degrees. It was originally introduced in the 1947 film Golden Earrings. Playing this song allows you to step into a soundscape that is both enchanting and steeped in a sense of exotic mystery.
