Is this commercially available? Like on CD or on iTunes? Heck, i'd even hunt up a cassette player if a tape was all I could find. Thanks in advance.

@xxkewldudexx Yes, the original 1945 version of the play is on CD "Carousel" by Cast-original (MCA) since 1991.

Great. This song has to be low pitched. It is not for some sobrette. It is about the older person advising the young.

a powerful device: the eternally damned "ghost" returning to see his loved one. a psychological tactic to reduce crime and suffering. i had to watch by Internet as a girl that i love was put in political jeopardy, offered heroin, homosexuality, sex with stars and media clients. i flew to her area and patrolled every studio, building, barracks, and street (& protected President Bush while he was there). i talked to thousands of people, ran for US Congress walking alone. ghost...still no one home.

Absolutely wonderful! But sung by the thousands at a football/socker field it's just as wonderful! Proves that the few really good songs can be sung anywhere by anyone and be just as enjoyable!

this song is on temple grandin which is a movie about a girl with autism and was born in the 1950's i'm guessing from the dates given in the movie.

One of the few songs that can move me to tears.
