On the Beach Movie - Influence in Music "Morning Dew", also known as "(Walk Me Out in the) Morning Dew", is a post-apocalyptic folk-rock song written by Canadian singer Bonnie Dobson in 1962. According to Dobson in an interview with Randy Jackson on April 13, 1993 at the White House Hotel, London, England, "Morning Dew" was inspired by the film "On the Beach". She told him she had seen the movie, "On The Beach"...."and it made a tremendous impression, the film." She went on to say, ..."this song just came out really it was a kind of re-enactment of the film in a way where at the end there is nobody left and it was a conversation between these two people trying to explain what's happening." On her "Live at Folk City Album" (1962) she says, in the introduction to the song, "I hope the dew never falls on us." ...a veiled reference to nuclear fallout. "Morning Dew" has been recorded by numerous artists with minor changes to it's lyrics. The Southern Rock group, Blackfoot, on their album Vertical Smiles (1984), refers to a "flash in the sky" and "the earth it trembled" alluding to a nuclear bomb exploding.
