I love this video so much, about as much as I love Bette. The song is so hauntingly beautiful. I can close my eyes and picture wartime scenes and the world without sound going on around us, and the words of this song... make out worldy condition even more prevalent. Prayer... we need prayer so much. Human kindness and we must remain servants willing to put others first , helping each other. Heavenly Father... have mercy.
This song defines my childhood .I remember being a kid and hearing it for the first time...it has stuck with me ever since. The movie and the song mean so much to me.
Makes me cry every time. "Human kindness is overflowing" is meant to be taken ironically I believe, given the rest of the song. The tone is not happy and that line is not uplifting. . .it just shows that their are so many out there who need kindness or are forced by circumstance to rely on the kindness of others making those people feel horrible inside. They cannot help the needy; they are the needy and the Lord helps those who help themselves. Survival then is their only option.
very pretty song,its taken awhile for me to find this,but im glad i have.always reach out even if you get slapped,cursed,or someone turns their back on you.the one person you touch in your life,kindness o r even a simple word or smile will be the one that defines the rest of your life.it is what makes life worthwhile.
There are very few people in this talent class. Holiday, Garland, Streisand and of course Bette. They manufacture each song into a 3 act play. All of the emotion and drama are captured by these brilliant women's prose.
Does anyone know if there is a video of Bette singing One For My Baby on Carson's last show? If so, please point it out to me!! I can't seem to find it!
i believe that too... & this song does a good job of capturing both the hope and sadness associated with trying to help others, because sometimes it just doesn't work out.
Bad times right now, and this song came to mind. Love the Divine Ms. M.
