"Lara's Theme" is the name given to a #leitmotif written for the 1965 film #DoctorZhivago by composer #MauriceJarre. Soon afterward, the leitmotif became the basis of the song "Somewhere, My Love". Numerous versions, both orchestral and vocal, have been recorded.

"Gentle on My Mind" is a song that was written and originally recorded by #JohnHartford, and released on his second studio album, #EarthwordsAndMusic (1967). Hartford wrote the song after watching #DoctorZhivago in 1966, as he was inspired by the film and his own personal experiences.
