Where did you find this?? All piano- gorgeous

Good lord, that is mostly with just one hand!

@Felicity1247

I think her voice could have been suited for opera had she been given the chance. Probably not rock.

I think the lyrics are "There the clouds cry, a veil of tears..."

Ah, that is such a great song!

She is absolutely amazing, but she needs more color theory to avoid them being tacky and Thomas Kincaide looking. I would hate to see her go that route, because she could be the best!

WOW, Bacharach was a hunk!

@improvguru

me too!! that's what I was thinking.

@VocalEdgeTV

Ya, me too. How the hell did he do that!!

@kcirish

Yes, you are right. I have seen several other interviews with other people, and it seems convincing that they might be lies. I just saw an interview with her other daughter, cyndy, I think is her name. in it she seemed to be dodging the question of what Joan was like as a mother. Not do...

Finally! You can hear all of those notes without it being played to fast.

Thank you.

Great, what a triumphant song!!

@blueIbeauty Definitely!

A year ago, I posted a comment saying how it was anticlimactic, because the musician omitted the trumpet part, where Mary throws her hat in the air. Now hearing it a year later, I take it back. I think your interpretation is beautiful without it. It is still sincere without being dramatic.

Nice ...

Great!!!

It's just so smoooooth and easy

@SoldierUSArmy

How did you know this. My god, they were so prolific.

This is such a great version!

She's great, but this is such a weak vocal.

Great version! there is so much energy in the keyboard!

Hmm. It's nice, but it pales in comparison tho Karen Carpenters version.

Bubbly but bland. The music in all of the scores is too watered down.

They sut out the stacked harmony at the end!

@modspell

It would be interesting to hear you reaction when you did not know of them and all of a sudden you heard that voice on the radio. I think this is a profound and moving piece of music.

@robdog132

It is, but it's very nasally, no?

This is Paul William's version of this song, and not Richards

Something about the music, I guess the dissonant chords that makes the cadence of the music mysterious but inspiring, sung by the most enigmatic vocalist. Some of the lyrics are halmark greetings, but I remember reading that when this came out, suicides and people with depression called radio sta...

@ghostfanX2

Yes, common sense would tell you that- Southern exposure, north pole, It's a white Polar bear, but you could be in connecticut and be in a ROOM, she said specifically a Room, not an entire house with "All southern exposure", have a large window facing south and still see a brown bea...

@moistandwanting

This is a kenetic sculpture that defines space by light. This video does not do it justice. You have to see Maholy Nagy's film of 1930 to get a better idea.

@Ronclown

Hey, what year did you see them?

The sound quality in this is just incredible. It seems like the sound in the "live" Close to You is much cleaner and has more depth than the original.

What year was this?

@Teriyaki32186

Yes, you are right!

Oh my lord..

You should hear Annie Ross' version in The Movie "Short Cuts" It's pretty fantastic

Oh, What a great version!!

Gee, it still has a dated score, as in the background orchestration. This song is so much deeper than that. Listen to Kerry Omalley, Dionne Warwick or Karen Carpenter. Nice try, but somewhat weak.

God, that is great!

I think her voice is doubled here. There is also a metallic overtone to it, I think it is the way Richard mixed it.

@JacobRudduck

I find that fascinating. I heard Gould's versions of all of The pastoral Symphony movements and he put something wonderful in the music, that was way beyond the sheet music. I had heard several versions, that were difficult to sit through, but not Glenn Goulds. They were all a plea...
