  • I want to sing like this guy!
    In his Album of 'Something Wonderful: Bryn Terfel sings Rodgers & Hammerstein',
    this song is in no.2 track.
    Also, a DVD called 'Bryn Terfel Live @ The Amsterdam Concertgebouw (2003)'
    you may find this part.
    Enjoy!
    (1945) Richard Rodgers, Oscar Hammerstein II
    The things I used to like
    I don't like anymore.
    I want a lot of other things
    I've never had before.
    It's just like mother says...
    I sit around and mope.
    Pretending I am wonderful.
    And knowing I'm a dope.
    I'm as restless as a willow in a windstorm,
    I'm as jumpy as a puppet on a string.
    I'd say that I had spring fever,
    But I know it isn't spring.
    I'm starry-eyed and vaguely discontented
    Like a nightingale without a song to sing.
    Oh, why should I have spring fever
    When it isn't even spring?
    I keep wishing I were somewhere else,
    Walking down a strange new street.
    Hearing words that I have never heard
    From a girl, I've yet to meet.
    I'm as busy as a spider spinning daydreams,
    I'm as giddy as a baby on a swing.
    I haven't seen a crocus or a rosebud
    Or a robin on the wing.
    But I feel so gay,
    In a melancholy way,
    That it might as well be spring,
    It might as well be spring.

    A lighter than air delivery from a bass baritone who can put you right in the mood ; now that’s true talent and versatility.A great singer.
    Now I fully understand why this song is so loved ; Bryn gives it a fresh, fun quality and his voice, as always, is drop-dead gorgeous.
    Following his concert in Auckland, N.Z. some years ago, I had a chance to chat with him after all the autograph seekers had left and
    it was a joyful experience ; as easy and comfortable as talking to a close friend or family member.Not a hint of conceit or superiority.

    Beautiful operatic rendition of this great song from State Fair 1945. Composed by Rodgers & Hammerstein. Thankyou.

    I love how he combines his acting ability with his voice to give his presentation that something extra that even had the conductor amused.

    From "State Fair". Love to play this on the piano with jazz improvisations too. Good to hear this fine version.

    Jonas Kaufmann in one of his interviews talks about perhaps doing some schlagers because they're beautifu and quite difficult, he says. Here we have Bryn Terfel put his stamp on a delightful song of yesteryear. Thanks youl

    It's close! Such different interpretations that it is almost a different song.

    Three elements: Great voice, fabulous musicianship and lastly the English language. That's odd in a way because I believe his first language is Welsh. Geraint Evans sang G&S whereas Terfel sing R&H. Lucky for us. America has produced more great baritones that any other nation over the last century but Merrill, Milnes or Warren were never this good with G&H. Yes, we're lucky.

    They should make a new Zulu film and stick Bryn in it! It has to honour the Zulu correctly this time though!
