Brilliant Barry,my husband sang this song in a talent contest as its one of his all time favorites. Please take a look i think he did you proud Barry,what do you think ????????????????????? Keith harvey park resorts final 2011
@onejanedoe2003 You're missing the whole point of the song, Barry really was against recording this song because he thought that he'd be regarded as big headed, he says that music writes the songs, I need to read ''Sweet Life'' again as i'm rusty, lol. OK someone else will explain, hopefully but I promise that Barry is not being egotistical when he sings I Write The Songs.
@MagicalTaste Mate you haven't a clue,have you? I'm not being insulting just saying it how it is, this song is dedicated to and about Satan (the spirit(angel) of music) It's what he was originally created by God to do, Praise God with music!
@onejanedoe2003 Notice at the beginning Barry looked up in disgust, he knows exactly what it's about, and originally refused to record this song, but CONTRACTS can be binding!
@charlesHBKWWE OK. When ppl refer to "CLASSICAL MUSIC"....they are NOT talking about this era's type of music. Classical music is the era of BEETHOVEN, CHOPIN, SCHUBERT, LISZT et al. This type of music is referred to as Easy Listening or more to your generation...this would be ancient EMO.
To all the young guys out there....when i was young i never understood how a guy could sing this crap and keep a straight face. Now that I'm 46, my advice for all the young guys...if you REALLY want to get the booty...forget the death metal or rap and sing this type of sugar crap love ballads. Women eat this stuff up it seems. If i could turn back time...I would have sung more Barry Manilow tunes.
Just the other who share their experiences about music. I bought also CD of Barry Manilow from Manila, until now i have it with me eventhough i listened to YT.
@charlesHBKWWE The industry, communications, and the world today are completely different. Because communications were limited, much fewer artists got to the top. As result, choice was also limited, so greater numbers of people gravitated to each particular artist. Today, with the speed of communications and advancement of technology, people have almost too many choices, and are hit so constantly with new information/music, that things just move much faster.
22 years ago when i bought my very first casette tape it was a Barry Manilow ablum. it was a 2 casette album and a compilation of his greatest hits... til now i still have it with me, ill pass it to my kids and believe me they do love singing his songs..!
I was all of 13 years old when I got my first cassette player. With that purchase, I thumbed through the cassettes and picked this "unknown" (to me) singer. The album was "One Voice". The voice was Barry Manilow. He's been a favorite of mine very since.
I'm now 45. Listening to a mix of his I've burned off my old CD's tonight, I decided I'd love to see a live performance of this song. It. Was. Great.
Thank you, MagicalTaste, for uploading this. And thank you, Barry, for your gift to us. xo
It doesnt wonder me at all that the track made it to the top. He sure did write the song and made many people listen. Thanks for posting such great music also in a such good quality.

The modulation really makes this song work. It might be unbearably cheesy and earnest otherwise, but it really shows some damn fine song-craft. I am officially jealous of Bruce Johnston.
i love manilow..i hate bruno mars ihate all of the new songz unless they are gospel or manilow......okay i like some different genres but you have to agree that manilow is the best!!!
@Zeratul723. Manilow's main talent, besides being the consummate showman, is arranging. As LCWynter and I both thought Willie wrote this song, it wasn't him either, it was, in fact, Bruce Johnston of the Beach Boys. I probably knew that but forgot somehow. If you look up the facts, Manilow bought the songs he made famous. Looking up the facts right now, it says that during the 70's (I was there) he would have 5 best selling albums at any given time! Yeah, and I owned all of them. :)
There is an interview on YT between Joan Rivers and Barry, and he says that he fought against doing the song because he thought it was cheesy too, until he really understood the lyrics. In other words, it isn't HIM singing, it is MUSIC singing, not just a piano or violin or guitar, but music itself. Kind of neat when you think about it, no? :)
@LCWynter I do believe, but not 100% sure....that Willie Nelson wrote this for Barry. And Barry was young when I was young. And yeah, his songs did make the young girls cry. Barry Manilow is an anomaly, as is Neil Sedaka...although Neil's vibrato is much superior. Barry Manilow is the ultimate showman. Sorry if you don't agree, but if you don't, you are not listening to professionals. He is, and has always been, a musician's musician. He's damn good.
Yeah, Willie wrote this. And to be honest, I've got nothing against Barry. He's got his own style and some alright songs, but this one is just bad. The concept is really cheesy, and when you look at some of the lyrics (I am music and I write the songs) they barely make sense. But yeah, it's alright.
@Mafical Taste FYI Bruce Johnston is not a former Beach Boy, he is still with them!! I just saw him and the Beach Boys two weeks ago and they are still rocking! They didn't play "I wrote the songs" though....they were not allowed to.
@dellgriff82 actually i was pulling this song up for a female friend when i saw your stupid mispelled word! you must be a faggot if you actually know what they screw to! Just because you are pissed off because your male lover left you! Don't be upset precious! Or did he call you "baby doll!"
xalliebee - sure your dad's a great guy but don't be surprised if he listens to Manilow when no one's around. I used to be that way. Oh yeah, and if you like him, no one elses opinion matters anyway.
I love Manilow....I'm a straight dude. I'm also a serial womanizer....and playing old Manilow makes ALL American women...regardless of age....well you know, girls. Yummy.
He Looks Like Our Friend Who Was: Chris Reeves...Tha'd Be The Kingdom of Heaven to help people in need with that sort of miraculous healing..The Sun of Righteousness with Healing in our Wings! cool!!
It was written about Brian Wilson, the often background and mentally troubled member of the group who actually wrote about 80% of the songs and almost 100% of the real top 10 hits.
This song VERY MATCH with late John Lennon... at first glance, when you listening the first note, I thought John Lennon sang this song...unfortunately, it's not. It's Barry Manilow... but still OK... RIP John Lennon...
yeah, very hard to find such talent who can sing to the heart every listener, nice lyrics/message, perfect melody, awesome performance hits the very soul...

@marianmanilow - oh thanks, I was stretching my memory trying to imagine them (BB) singing it. I'm developing a real appreciation of this man. thanks:)
I always thought Barry wrote this- it really is HIS song. I was a Beach Boys fan -somehow I'm having trouble remembering them singing it. Nice-- he looks great. Is this an outside concert? really nice- thanks so much.
@dirkbrad thats funny. Because Bruce Johnston said he wrote it after a night of drinking to make fun of the arrogant music producers who thought themselves better than anyone else....hey..maybe he did write it about brian wilson LOL
@dirkbrad I read an article once that said the very same thing. Easy to see once you know it. I think Bruce was always in awe of Brian's uncanny abilities. We all are. :-)
Barry definitely write the songs that makes the whole world sing. TRUE!!!!

I always thought Barry wrote this- it really is HIS song. I was a Beach Boys fan -somehow I'm having trouble remembering them singing it. Nice-- he looks great. Is this an outside concert? really nice- thanks so much.

@lenoremewton interestingly, Bruce wrote this in tribute to Brian Wilson....listen again with the Great Man in mind....makes sense now?

@dirkbrad thats funny. Because Bruce Johnston said he wrote it after a night of drinking to make fun of the arrogant music producers who thought themselves better than anyone else....hey..maybe he did write it about brian wilson LOL

@dirkbrad I read an article once that said the very same thing. Easy to see once you know it. I think Bruce was always in awe of Brian's uncanny abilities. We all are. :-)
