weekend in new england by barry manilow

"Weekend in New England" is a song written by Randy Edelman, and released by Barry Manilow on his 1976 album This One's For You. The song was released as a single in 1976, reaching the #1 spot on the U.S. Adult Contemporary chart and #10 on the Billboard Hot 100. It is a classic example of Manilow's popular style of big ballad, including a romantic theme, swelling orchestration and a dramatic finish.

The Reba McEntire song, "Whoever's in New England," is seen by many as an answer song to "Weekend In New England", as sung by the wife of a philandering husband who has an ongoing affair with someone in New England.

This song was also recorded by John Barrowman on his 2007 album Another Side.

In 2007, the song was recorded by Filipino pop/R&B singer Nina for the repackaged version of her self-titled album. It was not released, but was performed in some of her TV guestings.

I sat at the library 30 years ago and listened to this album. Then I bought the cassette and listened to it over and over again, Now I am hearing it on the computer at the same library. Funny how many of life's many circles that we go around.

This brings me back to a particular time in my life; I was actually in love with someone from Boston and flying up from New York at the weekends.

It still makes me weepy.

Thank you!

On Piers Morgan, Barry said he never had a broken heart. Man, I don't know where he dug up the feelings for many of his songs, but he somehow found it.

@RepublicanOtter Yes... I am back here again because of you and I am tearing right now. Somehow. I ask myself why do we have to love someone so much and then we will say goodbye to them. Take care. :(

@lga935898 It truly is amazing how things bring us back and yet give us strength to start new. Life is so funny.
