I'd love to hear her revisit this song now at 60(?) Strip it down. Piano and vocal. Totally acoustic. Without the vocal range and agility of youth (where you want to sing EVERYTHING at once)... Just tell the story. And I will love you forever. No strings attached.
@jorgemvilar well, when you record it, we`ll see how you pull it off. This woman is also an actress. She just doesn`t sing words. There`s emotion behind them. Or she wouldn`t have recorded it. And what about the orchestration she coordinated? That`s suck`s too?
I heard, I think that it is better with a woman voice. May be. I'm found of Simon's group, that's sure but this "interpretation" by B. Streisand seems to me very good.
But, "il manque un je ne sais rien, un petit quelque chose dont je ne saurai définir".
Sorry, I'm in France and I speak french bettter than english.
@yhordz - You are right. Barbra has extremely long fingers and legs - they are extremely stunning though. I wouldn't call them freakish though. Very sexy. Of course I am a huge fan and would do anything for this woman! You can see what I mean if you check out my channel!
The way she sings "They got a wall in China that's a THOUSAND miles long," shows how unique and brilliant she is. She takes that one word and fills it with awe and wonder. She's a musical genius. Paul Simon loves this version by the way.
Do anybody know other version of this song except this, Paul Simon´s and Annie Lenox´s??? I know there is another version (s), but I can´t find them anywhere! If anybody know, please tell me :)
"some people never say the words "I love you", it's not their style to be so bold...some people never say those words "I Love You" but like a child, they're longing to be told" POWERFUL lyrics!! ONLY Babs...
"The Way We Were" album is probably one of her best!! People confuse this with the soundtrack now. Her voice was so pure right then. Love you Barbra.. can't wait until the new CD comes out 9/29.
Thanks for the memory. I love Barbra singing this song. I didn't know it was Paul Simon's. His is okay, but nothing tops Barbra. I was 10 and actually answered a social studies ? in school about the China wall- and got it correct because I knew this song.
Pheobe does it on her Never Letting Go CD. Its a hard CD to find. This is one of my all time favorite songs. I actually had the album for years, and I finally found the CD on Ebay a couple of years ago. It's a great CD.
Yes. This is one of the best Paul Simon songs. "There Goes Rhymin' Simon" is a masterpiece. This BS version is very good, but I prefer Simon's version. ;)
¡¡Hermoso Tema..!!
