“I’m Forever Blowing Bubbles” is a classic American popular song first published in 1919, with music by John Kellette and lyrics by Jaan Kenbrovin (a pseudonym for a team of three writers). The song became famous for its dreamy melody and nostalgic lyrics, which reflect on the fleeting nature of dreams and happiness — like bubbles that “fly so high, nearly reach the sky, then like my dreams they fade and die.”
Engelbert Humperdinck, the British pop singer known for his rich voice and romantic ballads, recorded a version of this timeless tune. His performance brings a smooth, emotional quality to the song, giving it a gentle, sentimental feel. Though originally from the early 20th century, Humperdinck’s interpretation helps introduce the song to newer generations, showcasing his ability to bring classic songs to life with elegance and charm.
This song is also well known as the anthem of West Ham United Football Club, but Engelbert’s version focuses more on its musical beauty and emotional depth.
