I have always loved Frank Sinatra. This song expresses so many emotions at once, taking you on a journey, which is what the best art can do. The word that I would use to describe what I feel when I listen to it is, "bittersweet." A feeling of mixed emotions, both a happiness and sadness all at once. The story of a life lived in strength even when it was not easy. That is the most important thing as we go through this life. Your reactions were wonderful, and it is heart-warming to see someone experience this for the first time and understand it so well. Especially someone from another country, and who is so much younger than most of the audience for this style of music. I greatly enjoyed hearing this again, and your beautiful reaction to it. Thank you for sharing this.
This song was written for Frank Sinatra. It was for a man who was nearing the end of his life. A reflection of who he was. May, I say one of the best ever.
I'm a musician and met Mr. Sinatra many times. He was always genuine and a stand up guy. What you saw with him is what you got. He's surely missed by us all.
Now that you have heard this version I recommend you listening to the same song by Elvis Presley live. He performed the song in one of his last concerts just weeks before he passed away. He was overweight, bloated and stumbled all over the place but he blew everyone away when he sang My Way.
Now that I'm 70, this song resonates differently from when I was a youngster. It's a song that makes you examine your life and wonder whether you've lived it to the fullest.
His daughter, Nancy, once said one of the qualities that made her father's music so special was his enunciation of every word, unlike so much of what came before and after.
Interesting. I never heard her say that, but that's something Irina also mentioned. I'm not sure I'd have given it much thought, otherwise, but it does seem true. Then again, I don't think it's just his enunciation that makes the lyrics clear; I think it's also the fact that he's not drowned out by the instruments or other vocals. _That's_ what I see in a lot of music that came after, including much of the music I love, admittedly. I happen to be a fan of slick production and lots of layers, such as can be found with Rush, ELO, The Cars, The Eagles, Gerry Rafferty, and many more.
His prime was in the 40s, 50s and 60s, Irina, but his career spanned much longer. In his latter years, he was known as the "Chairman of the Board." He was the man for my Dad's generation. He starred in movies, shows and song and was part of the Rat Pack with Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr. He was truely an icon in the purest meaning of the word, someone you can never forget. Rest in peace, Frank, you truely paved the way for so many and I will never forget my Dad listening to him as I do every Chrismas. Great pick, Irina.👍
Love Sinatra he had one of the best voices ever, he could sing a nursery rhyme and make it sound amazing. You should do more Sinatra he had so many great songs ❤
😊How heartfelt❤ This music only evokes one thing... Romance, evening, candlelight. Oh, God, how wonderful it is to live !!!😊 А какие красивые 😍 глаза 👀
Fun fact: "My Way" est une chanson popularisée en 1969 par Frank Sinatra sur la musique de la chanson française "Comme d'habitude" composée par Jacques Revaux avec des paroles de Gilles Thibaut et Claude François et interprétée pour la première fois en 1967 par Claude François

Every day my dad finishes his tax season he blasts this I’ll never forget first time I found out he picks me up from hockey practice and tells me this is the only song to be heard on the drive home!
you are CORRECT.....this song is about much more than the good times..it is also about the sad times...the bad times and the times that no one cares...that is why so many identify with it,,,,,but.......very few actually live life.....their way
Sinatra "Chairman of the Board" Leader of the " Rat pack"...His famous entertainer friends, Sammy Davis Jr. Dean Martin, also Great Singers! All Performed in Las Vegas, and all appeared in many Movies, TV Shows.
You might like The Righteous Brothers, ‘You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling’ song. Or their ‘Soul and Inspiration’ and ‘Unchained Melody’ songs. Pretty sure they would blow your socks off.
Irina, honey, your English is _fine._ Don't worry about tripping over your tongue once in a while. We all do it. That includes everyone whose first and only language is English. Hell, I think you speak _better_ than a lot of the English-only people I've known. As for Sinatra, I'm sure you know by now that he goes back much further than you guessed. I'm a lot older than you, and he's even before _my_ time. But I have a funny memory from my dad. He once told me he was tired of hearing Frank Sinatra. He agreed he was a good singer, I think, but he felt there were _many_ good singers from the 40s and 50s, and he thought Sinatra got too much attention. I can understand that, because I feel there are artists from every decade who get more lasting attention than they deserve -- or their _contemporaries,_ the other artists from the same period, don't get _enough_ attention. One last thing: thank you for having an open mind and listening to music that was before your time. I can't call myself a Sinatra fan. Frankly, I find him kind of boring. But I really enjoyed your sweet reaction. And you're absolutely right: much of today's popular music is mixed so that you can't hear what the singer is saying. The recording business (and music business) have changed a LOT over the decades, some for the better, and some not. As always, watching your channel puts a smile on my face, and makes me want to hug you. 🥰
The guy was a jerk… but he was the definition of “cool” and that voice will be distinctly his own… forever! (This is NOT his best… the voice has been rumpled with age… but unmistakably “Sinatra”) He and Bing define Christmas. But Frank is the sentimental loss of love and life’s disappointments but - persevere - with a song in one’s heart! The only regret I (and Sinatra fans) have is that he should have been cast as “Sky Masterson” in “Guys and Dolls” 😥 that would have been his signature role!
Oh, good point. I'm not sure I've seen that performance, but I think she'd like Tom Jones. The man can sing! Frankly, better than Frank 😉in my opinion. At 83, I see he's on a multi-country tour right now, though I didn't see Russia on the list. Tom obviously did something for all those women years ago who threw their panties at him on stage! 😊(No joke, Irina.)
Sinatra’s politics were left-leaning, embracing antiracism and antifascism. He made his support of these causes clear. He was also candid about his stance on religion. “I believe in you and me,” he told Playboy in 1963, per Billboard. “I’m like Albert Schweitzer and Bertrand Russell and Albert Einstein in that I have a respect for life - in any form. I believe in nature, in the birds, the sea, the sky, in everything I can see or that there is real evidence for. If these things are what you mean by God, then I believe in God. But I don’t believe in a personal God to whom I look for comfort or for a natural on the next roll of the dice.”

John, As much as a jerk as you are, I see you as a low confidence bully. You're all fake. You have little confidence so you insult&talk down to others to make yourself feel better about yourself. It's sadistic game you play with yourself, but the joy you get from hurting others is a fake feel of confidence. Hence, you're not a real man. You're a wimp. To change you 1st need to call yourself out. Tnen you need to decide to care about other people and to care about their feelings.
Jesus, what the hell is your problem? It's _her channel,_ and believe it or not, _your_ opinion isn't any better than anyone else's, except to you. Frank Sinatra is of no particular interest to me, but it's not _my_ channel, either. I find this refreshing, for the reasons she gave, and I find her _viewpoint_ refreshing. Expand your mind a little bit.
@MikeAnn193 Yes, it's her channel (well..kinda) and she asks for comments and suggestions. If she doesn't want constructive criticism she should tell viewers up front "Please, only comments that tell me how beautiful, wonderful and smart I am".

Frank Sinatra è per metà di origine siciliane 🇮🇹 e per metà ligure 🇮🇹. È l'artista più grande di tutti i tempi. 👏🐐👽 Un capolavoro questa canzone. Il suo più grande capolavoro. Comunque ti scoperei come se non ci fosse un domani 😍🔥
C'est une chanson Française qui s'appelle : Comme d'habitude chanté par Claude François en 1967 .La meilleure version est celle de Sinatra en 1969
Frank performed in the 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s
My mom was a Bobby soxer in the late 30’s and early 40’s. She introduced me to his music over 60 years ago. Thanks mom.

thank you so much for the kind comment and words
Yeah, great comment, even for me (who neither likes nor dislikes Sinatra -- just never heard much of his music).
I've always enjoyed these old classics, but with each passing year this song hits deep. We need more music and singers like him today.

One of the happiest sad songs ever for me.
Frank Sinatra was my dad's favorite singer. I can't believe i forgot that, sorry dad.

He's old and near the end of this line the songs about saying goodbye he's grateful that he's good with it❤
dude he would continue performing for 25 years after this
You such a classy, beautiful young Lady! And your English is so good! I also had to learn English too. Am born in Mexico. Love you!

"My Way" has always been a Classic! Even in 1968 when he released this! ( I was 14 yrs old then ! lol ) Thanks for this Reaction !
Your English is great. Nice reaction
I have many of his albums. Love his voice
Great song, I want it to be played at my funerals.
god willing it will be many years from now
My grandmother's favourite. Actually met him once
In a quick search I just found a song and dance routine from a 40s musical movie Anchors Aweigh with Gene Kelly. Song is called I begged her.
