The soundtrack to the 1971 film Bless the Beasts and Children consists of music by The Carpenters, Barry De Vorzon, and Renee Armand. It included The Carpenters' "Bless the Beasts and Children" theme song as well as "Cotton's Dream", later known as "Nadia's Theme", which became the theme song to the television soap opera The Young and the Restless.
Note that there are three "Bless the Beasts and Children" tracks. All three are different, and have three different run times. The first one is the 3:07 vocal version, and #4 and #6 are both about 2:12. Track four has a version that is a hybrid between "Cotton's Dream" and "Bless the Beasts and Children". Track #6 is a very different version, with strings playing the melody. It has never been released on CD, and is currently only available on now-out of print vinyl records.
