The Rose - Bette Midler

[alaskavy]

Thanks



[EdwinDavis74]

Only someone with beautiful mind & a good heart could've came up with this concept. Thank U ever so much for this VID. I think Bette Midler would LOVE IT. I own the DVD, it is one of my favs.

[Dorisequador]

This song was the best song in the world at the time it was made. Made us all sad but happy and grateful to be with each other and good friends ...

[DavidDumas714]

Timing could have been better meaning the lyrics on screen...but I love this vid otherwise :D

Beautiful song

[FlapNasty3]

i never knew about this song until family guy..this song is sooo beautiful...i like how peter sings it though...its just beautiful..

[pekki1964]

[Stockholmgirl983]

It is a razor, that lives your soul to bleed........ for a long time after :(

[karenvp49]

My beloved sister gave me a music box that plays this tune in1997. My sister died in 2001 and I miss her so much. She was also my best friend. I love this song.

[cbritton1876]

I'm trying to figure out how ths came to her website 30 plus years ago when the web did not exsist. LOL!!! People should really double check what they write.. No one knows how to compose a proper sentence that is clear and easily understood these days.

[Aurabolt127]

RAZOR!!!!!! learn they lyrics you mook!

[Jac0bM1ll3Y1]

Can honestly say that this is about the only thing keeping me from breaking down right now..........

[TheBetsGirls]

es un video muy bonito y la cancion es muy hermosa, una de las mejores !!

[Dreamerz117]

i love this song!!! i just did a cover ;)

[solarmanful]

If this came to her at her computer perhaps she is psycic and was talking to Mendellsohn who said please use my music, claim it as your own and give me no credit at all. Likely not! Im sick of all the great composers music being stolen by people who cant write their own music. At least they should give credit to the talented ones. Perhaps Ms BcBroom should stick to lyrics,( which are quite good )and leave the music to someone with their own ideas.

[eljay2588]

@solarmanful at least spell correctly, psychic

[cbritton1876]

@solarmanful There are hints to Mendellsohns piece in this song it is NOT exactly the same though. If anything it samples from Mendellsohn. 

[lauritag]

Just a few lyrics that needs to be corrected (razor not raze, bitter snow not winter's snows) but otherwise an awesome video.

[alaskavy]

Great!!! I'. happy for you...!

[corona31]

beautifully made!! great pics...this song came out in the eighties when I was in my twenties, guess that as time passes by, it has just added layers of emotions.

[dannyohm]

The lyrics are so beautiful and the song so wonderfully sung.

[warmnfuzzieee]

listen to it bout 40  times a day, we even sang it karaoke! ! i miss you and your kind words! i love you and yes.... i still cry to this song...xox

[warmnfuzzieee]

this song has so much memorial value, my mom...may she continue to dance with the angels and sing..I found your favorite song, not that u didn

[amberbelote]

This was played during my wedding..I had no idea at the time how much this song would actually make sense in our lives..it was a weird kizmit fate thing..beautiful video.

[auboy0118]

What a beautiful video you have made！

I love it very much.

Thank you for the wonderful work.

From Japan.

[charliesonly1]

Beautifully Done! One of My all time favorite songs!

[charliesonly1]

Well done! This song is so Beautiful!

[msvii33]

Beautiful... I have eyes full of tears...

[mkjk1999]

for me this is the most feel good of feel good songs

[cassiejedlinski97]

the most beautiful song. our wedding first dance as husband and wife. I was lucky enough to find my rose.

[mwkjdrew]

Very Beautiful video and work for a great song.!!

Thanks for the lovely sharing....Wenhsing

[ref69]

My dearest Antje, I must say it has been a long time since I have been as close to anyone like this, I shed a lot of tears before we met, and sometimes I am afraid that this is a dream that I will wake up to. I like you don't want to hurt anymore, as we are both pretty deep in the game of life, and we have no time for any BS. I just want to show the world what you mean to me, and how thankful I am that you came into my life. I love you sweetness!!!

[bldshotcrazy]

[ShillCorn]

This song saved my life 20 some years ago when I was dying in a hospital. My best friend brought my guitar and I sang this constantly.

This is so deeply embedded in my soul now.

Thanks Bette

[barbieq36]

Bette Midlers' rendition of (The Rose) has been my all time favorite song since the first time I heard it. So emotional and stirring for the soul. Though I enjoy lots of songs, when a song gets in your heart it will remain a lifelong favorite.

[dnamisshap]

So beautiful..Thankyou.

[wolfmagic72]

Absolutely beautiful*

[AmarMah]

Two dislikes: why does the world have twats!

[HalfFastChevy]

Chris, the meaning is so obvious if you just listen to the words - you are the seed, and you will never be defeated so long as you are willing to take that chance. Don't be afraid to die, and don't be afraid to live. Wear your heart on your sleeve, learn to give. This is one of the most beautiful and hopeful love songs ever written, and nobody has ever sang it anywhere nearly as perfectly as Bette. Once you listen to her version, there is just no reason to ever listen to any other. I love it.

[chrisbartley88]

i love this song wats the meaning behind it though??

[THannah87]

[TheDesiderium]

[booknplays]

Never listen to this song in the car....it is bad to drive while crying!

[alaskavy]

ohhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!

[edkearns1]

@booknplays LOL....Why not? Peter griffin did it!

[eddiem5ieaj]

The author of this song, has tocuhed many lives with his words, and many hearts, with the beautiful "rose." Let alone Bet Midler, wow the ultimate with her voice and interpretation. eddie

[lamarenie]

Magnifique chanson pour mes 2 Françoise adorée je vous aimes

[vpasternak1]

The lyrics to this song were written by Amanda McBroom. Up until today I was unaware of its musical connection to Felix Mendellsohn, but now I'll surely go and listen to his piano concerto #1....

[ladyneedle39]

very nice song

[Stockholmgirl983]

This song is one of the most beutiful i now about love!

[sweetorganic]

@spiral741 uh, yeah, that's Midler's voice.

[tetra021]

This was played @ my Grandma's funeral today..RIP Grandma

[solarmanful]

Is Bette Midler supposed to have composed this ? Its an exact copy of Mendellsohns piano concerto no 1 2nd mov.

[alaskavy]

@solarmanful Thanks for your colaboration... about original music!!!

""" Mendellsohns piano concerto no 1 2nd mov. """

[alaskavy]

@alaskavy

Bette Midler , she is only the voice woman!!!

[Jimmythepin]

@solarmanful Eight notes does not an exact copy make. Very observant on your part however.

[Otaku1031]

Bette sang this (all three parts) but the composer is Amanda McBroom. She tells the story of how the song came to her on her website. There have been many covers of this piece, but the Divine Ms. M does it best.

[eljay2588]

@solarmanful No, and Amanda McBroom wrote the lyrics

[TeWoProductions]

story of my life

[cores12345]

♥ No One Sings This Song Better Than Bette Midler ♥

[mrneccos]

No one..except Janis Joplin

[AbuAvital]

@mrneccos Bit hard seeing as she died in 1970

[supportthetroops28]

Beautiful song. Love Bette Midler and Conway Twitty's version. I can not and will not pick wich one I like better because I like both versions of this song. They did an outstanding job singing this song.

[CALGAL2HULAGAL]

For YOU 3,000 miles away............;-(

[alaskavy]

?????

[8oo88e]

Thanks!!!

[alaskavy]

[ck10392000]

Beautiful song with beautiful pictures.

[TheMorticia11]

Yes -thank God- it exists! Songs that are really about love, instead of all that propaganda 'grease and dirty dancing' etc bullshit. Thanks for putting this on youtube.

[alaskavy]

Thanks for your words!!!

[toddwholmes]

You did this justice.!.

Thank you... I remember this song form when I was a boy. Got me then, and still. This is what makes it great

[alaskavy]

Thanks!!!

[heikedit]

Muy bien, pero se llama "bitter" snows,

y no "Winter" snows.

Saludos

[alaskavy]

Gracias!!!, creo que tendré que repasar la letra de cada canción, (palabra a palabra) ya que las traducciones las tomo de los lyrics de la net y a veces no están del todo buenas.

Gracias de nuevo

Ana María

[Elrundir]

One of Bette Midler's most beautiful songs. Which I guess, by extension, makes it one of the most beautiful songs in the world. <3

[lepetitdancer]

I tear up when I hear this song. Beautiful. I love you Bette.

[patbrolly]

She sings this song brilliantly beats West lifes version by far

[thegreatactor]

..........I say........becames the rose

[deistmutt]

Unfortunately, this song makes me cry as well. I don't like to cry, but this song hits the spot.

[risano2008]

the best song ever for me.

this song helpsme a lot now.

my bf broke up with me.

its hard time for me. such a beautiful song.

[lovevadimjaclyn]

this is so BEAUTIFUL

[Jordan260594]

it is just me or does anybody else cry at this song?

its so beautiful.

[kseidel10]

Yes, I was crying so much I got all the paperwork on my desk wet!

[ONLYthroughTHECROSS]

@Jordan260594 I cry everytime I hear it......

the tears are rolling down my cheeks .....

..... amazing song ....captured my hears years ago ...

the words go deep ....

[heheentulling]

Forgot to say why it makes me feal happy, and that is because it is so fuckings great and beatiful song! =)

[heheentulling]

Man grate video! Probably one of the best of "The Rose" I've seen =)

It both makes me feel sad and happy, because (I don't know why) it reminds me of the Holocaust and Second World War. When the Nazis nearly killed all the jews.

Anyway, just lean back and enjoy great movie:)

[bryantim25780]

Love your video.

[alaskavy]

Thankssssss!!!

[TGS327]

hmmm nice song..

[alaskavy]

yes... so sweet!!!

[Apologist325]

Can I use the music on this video to create a video? I want to make a tribute to someone. I tried Midler before but Youtube didn't allow due to a copyright issue. Can I use this song? I'll give a credit to your channel. Thank you.

[alaskavy]

Yes, I think that you can do, but the credits must be interpreted by a Midler beautiful song, Thanks!!!!!

[longhair1981]

woow great song and great working thank you for this good vid

[alaskavy]
