Even though we all tend to view our past through the lenses of rose colored glasses, there are people, places, and events that were of significant enough impact that, "even now", we're still not entirely free of their draw and appeal. Even though it's pure folly to entertain all the "what ifs" and "if only's" that we all surely collectively share as part of the Condition Human, it remains human nature to hold tightly to all those shadows from the past.
adore but sad song. can't stop crying when I hear this song. I'm puzzled because I'm only his step-wife.."Even now when there's someone else who cares
when there's someone home who's waiting just for me" ...EVEN NOW????????
@yvonneking1929: I've often thought the same thing. He must have had a helluva heartbreak to sing with the passion that he has...and yea, i wish i could find a guy that has that kind of depth and passion for life.
Thank you (whoever you are) for putting this photo callage together. I'm a single girl and have been going through some hard times. It's so nice to be able to escape for a few minutes and look at someone who doesn't mind you looking at him...and Barry is s-o-o-o much fun to look at.

I had always thought of this song as what could have been. But just the other day on Barry's I heart radio show he called it a love song. Never looked at it that way
new found respect for this song and the words, Even Now
I always feel that Barry lost the love of someone years ago and now really means all these lovely songs. Wish I had been that love or had had someone love me like that
I am 21. My parents split when I was 3. I distinctly remember my dad always breaking down when he heard this song. It's such a powerful song. It still brings a tear to my eye.
EVEN NOW i still listen to barry....u make my heart shine when im with my girl,,,,it makes me happy each and every time i hear you sing....thanks for making me a very happy person EVEN NOW im going through hard times
Saw him live in the 70's at the Garden State Arts Center in Holmdel, NJ. now called the PNC Bank Arts Center. Packed so tight teens were climbing into trees around the properties perimeter to see the show. Great show! Ticket people said he would never be invited back though? Said his ego was obnoxious and he was condesending to the staff. Said he even kicked bouquets of flowers off the stage that fans brought for him.
Odd as it may seem, this song always makes me think of my mother, "even now, when I have come so far, I wonder where you are, I wonder why it's still so hard without you....when I come shining through, I swear I think of you". She passed away in 1991, and it is still so hard without her, when I have a wonderful moment in my life, I still think of her and wish she were here.
That is one great song and yes, somethings you can't forget. You move on and life goes on and you meet new people and get thru bad obstacles in your life, but somethings from your past still there.
This was real music; Barry Manilow will always be my favorite singer/songwriter. His songs are about love and real things. His songs showed the perfect emotion for the words
Awesome, thank you, Mandy. Beautiful pics/video clips, video, man, and song. Barry's talent is way underrated; this song is killer. Who hasn't felt exactly that way at least sometimes? The tears come and yet I still have to play this one over and over again.
Thank you Mr. Manilow for expressing our feelings so well - you are a master of your craft and of putting human emotions into song.
I remember the very first time I heard this song.It came out the yr I got married the first time in 1978. Those were the days when I throught that was in love here comes Barry with this beautiful song.Brings back so many memories from those days. They happy ones for me. That's Barry's songs does for for and they are so beautiful. Thank you for posting.
Amazing to realise that we're all so much the same. There's a real sadness, wrenching my insides, and yet life goes on afer all these years. Beautiful honest lyrics.
You went where I can not follow....yet. Someday I will be called home, may God make it soon, and we will be together again....my heart and soul miss you every second of every day. You were the twin to my soul, I am lost.
there are only two people in the world that know what this song is about. Me and Barry. Sitting in his music room on his leather couch at 3 in the morning crying because of the tragic loss of some one so special I never have gotten over it. It was dark and i didn't hear him come down the stairs. Then a comforting arm around me , someone to share my tears and heart ache. We both cried for an hour then he sat down to write this , the most beautiful song in the world. Thank you for that night

my childhood friend, maryrobyn, lived across the street. we would put on costumes from the stardust casino (her grama worked there) and we would dance on top of the coffee table listening to barry's album!her mom had posters of barry up and with a few good lighting tricks using flashlights we truely were transported to a fantasy world of dancing up on stage with barry! :D
A wonderful, evocative song, a true classic that will mean such a lot to so many people for years to come. Those of us who have loved and lost, will smile sadly, yet find it irrisistable. I love it, it's beautifully written and sung. Barry is the master of songs that touch our hearts. Thankyou for this. x
There are some people who still live in their past...its not because they dont find themselves contented on what they have right now...but its more of great things that cherish and haunts them even in the middle of the night.
@aileenmica I don't mind living in the past with the preponderance of so-called "artists" of today who win awards for their spiteful, foul-mouthed misogynist lyrics. It's no wonder that the increase in school shootings over the years is proportional to the increase in such hateful music.

Barry Manilow! Always a musical genius!
His ballads, beautifully sung, touch us emotionally! The beauty of his singing is simply never ending, sing after song.
"Even Now," "I made it Through The Rain" and many others are among my favorites!
Barry has sold 85 million albums!
Message to Barry: The World Loves Your Great Singing! Your Music brings us joy!
Thanks for your singing and your great music! The World is far richer for it!!
