Itzhak Perlman "Papa Can You Hear Me?" (From Yentl)

[jbc95]

How's that hope & change working out for you??? you freaking idiot!!!! How can you be so blind to be led astray by this evil man??? Are you really that stupid that you can't think for yourself??? What a disgrace to this beautiful song that you would put his idiot or evil pictures with it! I really don't care if the guy is evil or just so stupid he believes that collectivism works... the guy is the worst American President ever.. BY FAR!!!

[bbraat]

I don't get the use of the pictures with the song. Did you ever hear the song with the lyrics? It's about a single father who raises his daughter and teaches her everything about the most important scholarship of the time. A parent who gave everything to his child until the moment he died. It's not a song about a man who abandones his son. For Obama the appropriate title would be "Mama and Grandma, can you hear me".

[VikingFront91]

Great the music

Nonsense the pictures with it

[bspeck123]

Beautiful music, but I am saddened by the pictures. The words of the song (if you know them) stand against what this President has done......

[VikingFront91]

@bspeck123 Well said

[lindseydream]

Does anyone have the sheet music?!

[mbw12194]

beautiful song, but... obama? don't get the connection

[eivorglas1]

We love you Obama!!!! And Perlman is a the best violinist ever!!!

[iHatecancer222]

Question,

why the hell is Obama there?

I love him, but still.

[azhar13579]

i feel like im stalking obama

[titch114]

Lol. Obama is such a poser ;)

[bonesdoc11]

@titch114 In his case the proper word is POSEUR, a poser is merely someone posing for a picture, not the closet Muslim, quasi American pseudo President we have now.

[MissAlmostAlice]

:'( OMG magnificent song !!!

Great Video for a Great Person

[mojo1994]

[yorubablk3]

Wow..i'm not an 'Obamaite'...i'mma Cynthia Mckinney girl myself..but i found this touching..and very moving.Thanks for sharing.

[tankeelirusseltan]

This is a creative and heartfelt depiction of a man who has the potential to be great (The video already assumes that he is great). I can see three fathers in this piece. The first is his biological father. The second is God, the father and the last is he, himself as a father.

[singxthatxsong8]

if you were to sing along with this, when would you start singing, minus the prayer and the candle part .. when it starts out "papa can you hear me" does anybody know what time that would be? i'd like to sing with this for my uncle ...

[IndeedlyFilms]

I dont think this is an instruemntal following the original piece. I think it's just a medley. But it's still beautiful and the video is very sweet.

[AmbrielCharms]

This video makes me cry ...

[AmbrielCharms]

The most protected man on this earth, astrally, physically, spiritually, etherally & otherwise. Great video!

[JillHill7]

This is WONDERFULLY made! and on this day January 20, 2009, this man is officially our President. God be with him! ^_^

[petchaplain]

An astonishing heartfelt video. Very creative, Thank you!

[wembakoy]

This a cool video I like it so much.

Keep it up.

[ketzlloooo]

i just like the music, my hope is Jesus the King of Kings

[Jiffy2468]

Sensitive... the boy yearning for the father he had only for a month in his life. The man who yearns for a father who wasn't there... The now president-elect Obama, whose father is among the stars (not among the living). Can that father see him? Is his yearning, secretly raw with need still...

[1000RedBallons]

I don't get it....the combination

the candid photos are interesting.

[Avantgardefunker]

Beautiful vid...depicted a sensitive side to this influential leader of today...to know the words to this song is even more powerful...almost made me cry papa roving...

[namartin2]

Real good work. I love your photographs. Excellent music. Yentl was an amazing score. I've seen others sing this song on youtube, but Regine Valesquez is the only person besides Barbara to do it justice. Very soon i will post a new version done by CaitlynRenee.
