the very first time I heard this song I knew I would learn it by heart. By now my parents, too, have learnt it. well, they don't sing with me but certainly listen to it very often:)
@erinviviane That is awesome...when I first saw the movie and this song inspired me and I got the visuals of mountains in my head- decades later I posted this video :-)
This is the first time I've heard this piece - only a few minutes ago I listened to a short, few second clip of it and I instantly knew I had to hear the whole thing.
My manners may be slipping jenifaui, MinziTolero1, and paulkate72, but I live on a forested Asian hillside and need check no source outside my head to know that Peggy Wood is not singing here (and maybe couldn't even sing in the shower). The singer is Marni Nixon, who also sang for Deborah Kerr in The King and I and Natalie Wood in West Side Story. (You might say Ms. Nixon sang in the Woods.)
I believe I'm right in saying that Ms. Wood never sang a note on CBS's Mama (based on I Remember Mama).
Correction on the singer of "Climb Every Mountain." Margery MacKay was the ghost voice for that recording.
Marni Nixon is a righteous guess considering she had one of the most famous voices in Hollywood history with no facial recognition. However she can be seen as Sister Sophia in "The Sound Of Music'" as one of the vocals in "How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria."
Don't let obstacles and hardships deter you from achieving your ends that you most value, work for them, it won't be easy, be steadfast, be stronger and resolute, achieve them. The spirit of the journey may be worth more than the end, the end is the ceremony. Add value to the world.
I always liked this song, but couldn't stand watching this scene. It interrupts the flow of the story too much, just standing around singing with no action and no advancement of plot. But yeah, Peggy Wood is very talented.
@jenifaui I actually love this scene...it adds a different atmosphere to the movie, it's stark and intimate....just the two of them there, as Maria confides in her.
Pretty good song and what a powerful voice Peggy Wood has. That's real class, to be able to hit the high notes and stil look as though the whole thing is a walk in the park. Great song, great singer.
Minhas montanhas não são cobertas de gelo, minhas monyanhas são verdes assim como a esperança ... Minhas montanhas são verdes ! Elas são minhas montanhas!
They just went on a day trip to Switzerland & never came back. I remember the summer this came out in 1965. Coming from a small town I was not used to movies playing for 7 months. I thought to myself that a lot of people must like that show. When I saw the Video of the movie I found out what all of those people knew and I didn't until then. Maria in real life was a hard mother. She wouldn't let any of hers fail; it was unthinkable. That's where goodness comes from!
"These wall were not built to shut out problems, you have to face then."
If you always refuse to face you own problems and troubles in life, you will end up missing out on the good things that really make life worth the living.
How to you think I got so wise, in the first place???
I've faced and conquered scores of problems and troubles of my own. Each one left me a little more wiser than before I decided to face the problem in question.
@TheWiseTyronian This beautiful anthem to life comes from an era when people actually took responsibility for themselves rather than blame everything on their "shitty childhood" and hide behind being a victim. Sadly, those days are gone, and all we have left are people who would rather live vicariously than face the real possibility of failure and problems. By doing so, they "laugh, but not all their laughter; and cry... but not all their tears."
@dieselheart001 I concur...well said. As I recall, there is a plaque at the cemetery overlooking the Normandy beaches which states " All gave some; some gave all". By comparison, most hardships and obstacles in life become patently insignificant.
Probably the most powerful song ive ever heard, and as a father, i would love this song to be played when my daughter walks up the aisle in church on the way to being married, how proud and emotional that will be.
Alright! Who are the three Crap Holes! Speak up!

The Reverend Mother is right when she says,
"These wall were not built to shut out problems, you have to face then."
If you always refuse to face you own problems and troubles in life, you will end up missing out on the good things that really make life worth the living.
