yes thanks a lot Ford for posting this beautiful song. sorry I m French: la nostalgie la melancolie si sinceres que degage le timbre incomparable de F.Sinatra restituent admirablement les emotions les tourments compliqués que provoque l amour. Ava Gardner avait bien résumé de maniere moins delicate et poetique sa relation avec Franck..elle disait: "quand on est dans le lit Franck et moi, tout est parfait merveilleux;..les problemes (re)commencent dès que je me rends au bidet"..
Sinatra sings about life like no other has ever done before or since. There will never be another, ever! "The lovin' was easy; it's the livin' that's hard..." you cannot get to the essence of anything with greater clarity.
...So much truth in words of this song... The phrase "The lovin' was easy; it's the livin' that's hard..." tells it all... Kris Kristofferson is a great songwriter! Lyricist, orchestra and Sinatra are worthy each other!
I instantly liked this song when I first heard it on the radio in 1973. The melody and the lyrics tugged at your heartstrings. The way Frank Sinatra sang this song was beautifully sad and melancholic. I'm a sucker for this theme. It's forever been in my playlist : tape, CD, ipod, etc. This is one of my favorite Frank Sinatra songs...just feeling the nuances of sadness and finality of a love affair in his voice...
Thanks so much for posting this lovely ballad by Frank. I heard this song from the album "o'l blue eyes is back" when i was 7 years old & still love it the same today !
Sinatra ,always will be the top of the charts forever !!! What we have today ? Lady GaGa , britney ? They are ok but they will never top the talent of Frank, & others in his era. Long live swing !!!
@diannagrana1 Well said, my Dear. I was a boyish 29 when "Ol' Blue Eyes" came out in 1973, young, and in love, of course. There was so much of life I had still to learn. Frank truly sums this up with this song !
My father played this when I was 12 - it made an impression on me then and still does now. "The loving was easy, it's the living that's hard ..." Such a beautiful song about a sad situation.
