Because nobody else seems to have compiled a video containing all four songs heard in the Gold Room scene from Stanley Kubrick's 1980 horror masterpiece 'The Shining', I decided to do it myself. A total of four songs can be heard in the Overlook Hotel's ballroom throughout the movie, all of which are included in this video. After a lot of research, I did what I could to find the best possible quality for these songs, which was difficult, considering they're all from the 1930s. One song perfectly closes the film as the credits roll, two are heard in the bathroom scene and another is heard briefly for a few seconds before the ballroom scene. I apologise for the silence at the beginning!

SONG LISTING:
1. Jack Hylton and his Orchestra ~ Masquerade (1932)
2. Al Bowlly and the Ray Noble Orchestra ~ Midnight, The Stars And You (1934)
3. Al Bowlly and the Ray Noble Orchestra ~ It's All Forgotten Now (1934)
4. Henry Hall and the Gleneagles Hotel Band ~ Home (1932)

'Masquerade' lyrics:
While life soon will fade, I'll meet you at the masquerade.
While our hearts swinging to violin singing 'til dawn.
Lady dressed in jade, hold me tight at the masquerade.
If the music halts here then my heart will waltz here, right on.
Twelve o' clock is chiming on the clock up above.
Now, if you unmask your heart, I'll love you, love you.
Midnight, shadows fade. No one's left at the masquerade.
Everything is through dear, but my love for you dear, lives on.

'Midnight, The Stars And You' lyrics:
Midnight, with the stars and you. Midnight and a rendezvous.
Your eyes held a message tender, saying 'I surrender all my love to you'.
Midnight brought us sweet romance.
I know all my whole life through.
I'll be remembering you, whatever else I do.
Midnight, with the stars and you.

'It's All Forgotten Now' lyrics:
It's all forgotten now, the trouble and the pain, forgotten every word I've said.
Forgotten every tear you've shed, we're still in love.
It's all forgiven now, we're back in Lovers' Lane, and though we wandered from our way, the corner's turned and we can say we're still in love.
For you and I and everybody, must learn to give and take.
We'll find like everybody, it's worth it for happiness sake.
It's all forgotten now, we're happy once again, our trouble's gone beyond recall.
And making up is best of all, we're still in love.

'Home' lyrics:
When shadows fall, and trees whisper day is ending, my thoughts are ever wending home.
When crickets call, my heart is forever yearning, once more to be returning home.
When the hills conceal the setting sun, stars begin apeeping one by one.
Night covers all, and though fortune may forsake me, sweet dreams will ever take me home.
