    • Production

    Macbeth was made by Polanski in the aftermath of the murder of his pregnant wife, Sharon Tate, and several of his friends by members of the Manson Family at his house in Beverly Hills on the night of August 9, 1969. Following the murders, Polanski quit the film project he was working on, The Day of the Dolphin, and sank into deep psychological depression, blaming himself for the tragedy. After months of grieving Tate's death, he set to adapting Shakespeare's Macbeth with the aid of British theatre critic Kenneth Tynan.

    Don't Include Me In Your Dreams

    by: Macbeth

    Every day that goes by
    Is dead and gone
    Every step along the way
    Fades to grey
    Don’t include me in your dreams
    I’m dead and gone
    Every single moment dies
    Never enough
    And the point if there is one
    Never enough
    Is that all precious time goes by
    Don’t include me in your dreams
    We’re dead and gone
    Every single moment dies
    Never enough
    And the point if there is one
    Never enough
    Is that all precious time goes by
    Never enough
    You will wake up one day
    Never enough
