My 84 yr old mother is dying. She had a stroke last week. She LOVES Barbara! So do I! She played her albums while we were growing up. Such beauty, such love from the most wonderful mother in the world!! I love you Mom, I always will! 😂
This is vocal perfection. For pure voice and musicality, this is my favorite. No one can touch Barbra. For live performance, Betty Buckley’s Broadway performance stands alone for evoking the dignity, tragedy and emotion of the character. Two perfect performances.
Midnight, not a sound from the pavement Has the moon lost her memory? She is smiling alone In the lamplight, the withered leaves collect at my feet And the wind begins to moan Memory, all alone in the moonlight I can dream of the old days Life was beautiful then I remember the time I knew what happiness was Let the memory live again Every street lamp seems to beat A fatalistic warning Someone mutters and the street lamp sputters And soon it will be morning Daylight, I must wait for the sunrise I must think of a new life And I mustn't give in When the dawn comes, tonight will be a memory too And a new day will begin Burnt out ends of smoky days The stale, cold smell of morning A street lamp dies, another night is over Another day is dawning Touch me, it's so easy to leave me All alone with the memory Of my days in the sun If you touch me, you'll understand what happiness is Look, a new day has begun
Disagree. While Betty Buckley's singing is technically superior, Elaine Paige's performance is unmatched when it comes to conveying the essence of the character. Just watch the scene where she scrambles to her feet and demands to be touched in song, and the small smile when she is. Subtlety and pathos.
I’m literally speechless! How can anyone sing this good? She has the voice of an angel! She looks like an angel as well. I wish there were more like her
Barbara Streisand is the music. An entire lifetime of entertaining her generation. She didn’t fit the mold. She created it. As a new day rises we are reminded of renewed. ❤
@@erfguuipo8084 while you are entitled to your opinion, you don’t know sh*t about music otherwise you wouldn’t make this ridiculous comparison. Whitney had a voice, yes, but she was a popsinger! Barbra has never been a popsinger nor will she ever be! Where Whitney went drama always followed accompanied with booze and drugs. Barbara outranks everyone including your beloved Whitney. She outranks them on sheer class, health and talent! Barbara never needed booze or drugs to get up and do her thing. While Babs is in a league of her very own, and a lot of the time also had been frightened about performing, Whitney grew up in the churchchoir and went on into the hard society that’s known as the so-called music business, where they made you or broke you, make you into a sex symbol all the while where they earn the big bucks and “leave you with pennies”. That never happened to Barbra because SHE had the right people around her!
Streisand’s voice is haunting perfection. She makes the hairs on your neck stand up. The last note is especially sublime, it fades out to blend with the instrumentation..just melts away. Listening to this song is an ethereal experience.
Thank you Barbra, I lost my mother back in July and it has just been so so hard for me since now my entire family has left me behind. I'm 47 and feel so alone and lost but trying my best to not give in. This song has hit my heart and your voice just melts my soul thank you for this! 🥰
your never alone while you got your memories lost my mum 21 years ago next January , this song just reminds me of her on holiday's in Benidorm, great times and a lovly song thanks Barbra x
No one is ever really alone. Losing a parent is one of the most heartbreaking things. I had to watch a friend of mine go through the pain of losing Her mother and she too felt lost for a time, but she knew her Mum would never want her to be unhappy and I don't think your mum would want you to be unhappy either. Live on with those loving memories my friend and try and make great new ones while you can. I hope you find that peace you're looking for one day 😊
I’ve no idea what you are talking about. Is this Goose a household name as Barbara was in the 70s and 80s? I doubt it. Does “bringing us back to this beautiful masterpiece” earn the Goose the affection of the general public? Bringing “us” back? You probably weren’t even born back then. It’s just typical of today’s… celebrities, having not the discipline to churn out their own ideas, that they want to grab the coat-tails of the great and the good, to try to haul them back down to their level. Sad, sad, sad, sad!
It's not just the fantastic voice or the beautiful song, it's the way she becomes the song. Her body is in the music as much as her voice is. I've watched this video several time just to enjoy how she performs it.
Yes, that's a good way of saying it. I never could put a finger on it. She lives whatever she is singing. But it's real, you know? It's not put on in a fake, dramatic way. (Even when she's performing in a movie.) That's why you can't take your eyes off her and your guts feel like they're being turned inside out. The word, "gifted", is so overused. But she truly was.
My grandma died recently, and she had a music box that would open and play this song. Heard the lyrics for the first time today. I can't stop listening. I miss her so much.
Some of the best lyrics ever written. They affect every single one of us, sooner or later.."if you touch me, you'll understand what happiness is..." WHAT A STATEMENT!!!!
Steve. The greatest female singer of all time and a voice that comes round every 100 years. She has no rival. When she was younger her friends called her The girl with the voice. How right they were. Simply stunning in every way.
Simone Simons from Epica did a beautiful intimate tribute of this for her Facebook audience on March 25th 2020 as a tribute to the dark nights we seem to be having lately. It was spectacular. Maybe not as spectacular as this one. But spectacular all the same.
The most exquisite voice … she has such a gift that she has shared with us for 6 decades! I will be eternally fascinated and fulfilled listening to her sing💕
Glorious voice! While I don't listen to Barbra Streisand's singing every day (mostly listen to male vocalists), I've long been of the opinion that this lady has the best singing voice of anyone I've ever heard. This song as heard and seen on this RUclips audio-video track, is without peer of proof of Barbra's unique ability as a one-of-a-kind vocalist. Thank you, Ms. Streisand!

Voix de l'Au Delà, un ange tombé du ciel, c'est une des plus belle chanson du monde, et Barbra est une lumière qui éclaire ma vie, j'ai 74 ans malade mais quand j'entends sa voix, tout devient lumineux, merci de nous avoir donné une telle voix, merveilleuse Barbra Nadine
I Love Barbara Streisand's voice. It's so heartwarming and soothing. Barbara Streisand is a timeless woman. Her voice resonates within my Soul and Body. I Love her ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
Barbra Streisand has the loveliest and sweetest voice of all time. When a singer can bring tears to your eyes, they have done their job in full and beyond. BRAVO!! BRAVO!!
My mom passed at 52 in 1989 and I was only 24. She never got to see her granddaughter (she just turned 26) Barbara was her favorite. Hard to swallow and not cry every time I hear her sing. I miss you mom 💔
@@mikeking3507 Moms are special. Sorry for both your losses. Just 8 for mine, later this yr. We had a closeness/bond, not shared w/the other sibs. I miss her, but know I’ll be w/her in God’s glorious heaven, forevermore.🙌 Sooner, over later, w/the way things are headed now. Jesus is everyone’s Only Hope.✝️
I'm in my teen years when I first hear this song MEMORY!! I am 😊😊enamored since then That even at my Sr. yrs. I still loving this the most nostalgic song😊 Of my times!!!❤❤❤! Salamat! Ms.Streisand.. Nostalgic songs
Midnight Not a sound from the pavement Has the moon lost her memory She is smiling alone In the lamplight The withered leaves collect at my feet And the wind begins to moan Memory All alone in the moonlight I can smile happy your days (I can dream of the old days) Life was beautiful then I remember the time I knew what happiness was Let the memory live again Every street lamp seems to beat A fatalistic warning Someone mutters and the street lamp gutters And soon it will be morning Daylight I must wait for the sunrise I must think of a new life And I mustn't give in When the dawn comes Tonight will be a memory too And a new day will begin Burnt out ends of smoky days The still cold smell of morning A street lamp dies, another night is over Another day is dawning Touch me, It is so easy to leave me All alone with the memory Of my days in the sun If you touch me, You'll understand what happiness is Look, a new day has begun
I first heard this song when I was a young boy, around 9-10 perhaps. I’m now 55 and as in awe as the first time I heard it. It’s vocal perfection from one of the greatest singers EVER! I love you Barbara!!! God Bless
Barbara Streisand was my idol in the early 70's, she sings with passion, emotion and feelings she is one of the best singer in world she is beautiful and has a beautiful voice God bless you and thank you for the video cheers
No singer has better control or understanding of their instrument than Barbra Streisand. Truly unique among performers. I love all kinds of music and performers but I always come back to Ms. Streisand. What an amazing musical career, in range of styles of music, longevity, universal appeal; and that doesn't even touch on her film career. I hope she directs again. If you've never seen Yentl, put it on your "must" list. This was her directorial debut. It is executed with the same precision with which she sings. Simply amazing.
Yes! Please put every Barbra Streisand movie, song and show on your list. The Movie, Funny Girl and Barbra burst onto the film scene when I was barely ten. Ms. Streisand and I grew up together. I was a Funny Girl and my nose had character but I could not sing. On a Clear Day, she helped me see the Forever. Clearly, Ms Streisand was someone special in another life and was Himself the Brolin with her? When her Hubbell said, "It was never not complicated, Katie"...I understood The Way We Were. I hope Barbra and I have many more songs and years together. Thank you for the memories and songs of my past, present, and hopeful future.
@Andrew Ongais Yes, I have seen Lisa Fischer and she is remarkable. www.thesmithcenter.com/blog/why-youre-already-a-fan-of-lisa-fischer-or-should-be/ I did not know Eva Cassidy and I am sorry that I missed her now that she is Somewhere over the Rainbow. ruclips.net/video/2rd8VktT8xY/видео.html Remarkable voices, remarkable women.
@Andrew Ongais I appreciate the information but not the attitude. "Do your homework"?? Don't be a turd--that's your homework. Now that I know I've been listening to Lisa Fischer in the background for decades, I'll surely give her solo efforts a listen. Cheers.
I don't know why, out of the blue, I woke up with this song playing in my head. And it's my 50th birthday. I think God is trying to tell me something 🤗
I’m only 29. I recently got into Barbara hearing her studio live cover of Make A Garden Grow & was blown away. Her voice is like a powerful velvet rope it’s hard to put into words.
I love this song so much and I love her voice even more. Happy 82nd to our favorite singers’ inspiration, to the incomparable, iconic, and to one of the greatest singers of all time, Barbra Streisand! ❤🥳🎉🎊4/24/2024
Голос - как хрустальный звон, как горный ручеек, чистый и многогранный. Так просто - вышла и спела. Только вот никто так не может больше. Это самое крутое исполнение на все времена. Люблю тебя, Барбара.
Барбра, и только так - она официально удалила букву А из имени - чтобы ее имя не было длиннее имени мм...одного из мужей ) Простим нашей любимице этот каприз )
I feel exactly the same way. This makes me feel so close to my daughter who passed away last December of Cancer. I miss her so so much. This song helps to ease the pain.
My husband's too. He passed last year 2021. 3 weeks after covid vax. He was so tall and fit. Ex army...he had a massive stroke. I do get some comfort from the music he loved.
Perfection. When she sings the last line, "Look, a new day has begun" and she sings the word "begun" on a high note to end the song is simply magical. It just seamlessly blends in with the music and just sounds ethereal like another world. No other version that I could find on RUclips, even the ones showing Broadway performances by Elaine Page or the new version by Jennifer Hudson does this. They end the note low. All amazing singers but this version by Barbara Streisand just takes it to the next level with that note.
mn ht she is the only one in history to pull that off , that high note is a pianissimo note , professional singers know that you basically need to be born with that talent because there is not academic technique to help you to achieve that so .. Barbra is the only pop singers that I know able to do this kind of feat You have searched on RUclips and no one does it , are you going to tell me that all those other singers don’t want to finish this amazing song with note ? Of course yes .. can they ? Of course not !!!
@@MrLuis85698 Wow! I had no idea. No wonder the other singers don't do it because they can't do it! And no wonder why I love Barbara's version so much. Thanks so much for the info!
mn ht they say it is a technique, but I know there is not technique in the world to hit notes in pianissimo (the voice needs to float in the air ) the same applies for the whistle register ( only few like Mariah Carey ) can pull those whistle notes , but as hard as a whistle note is , the pianissimo notes are even way rarer .. very seldom you hear those notes , you know in the men side who can do that often effortlessly: Andrea Bocelli , his last note with Celine Dion is a male pianissimo, he is a tenor it sounds heavier but you can tell he is placing the sound as if the sound floats softly in the air “ and those high soft notes require a golden breath control to about breaking off
Doesn't matter how many times I've heard this masterpiece. Yet, every single time, when she starts singing -"Touch me, it's so easy to leave me...." part, I get chills and deep goosebumps!! Just an outstanding, an UNFORGETTABLE performance from her ❤️!!!👍🌹
Midnight Not a sound from the pavement Has the moon lost her memory She is smiling alone In the lamplight The withered leaves collect at my feet And the wind begins to moan Memory All alone in the moonlight I can dream of the old days Life was beautiful then I remember the time I knew what happiness was Let the memory live again Every street lamp seems to beat A fatalistic warning Someone mutters and the street lamp gutters And soon it will be morning Daylight I must wait for the sunrise I must think of a new life And I mustn't give in When the dawn comes Tonight will be a memory too And a new day will begin Burnt out ends of smoky days The still cold smell of morning A street lamp dies, another night is over Another day is dawning Touch me, It is so easy to leave me All alone with the memory Of my days in the sun If you touch me, You'll understand what happiness is Look, a new day has begun
Her voice is so sweet and powerfull that I get immediately emotional and touched. The melody lifts you up and it feels you fly out of this time and go back to the happines in the early days.
There has never been and there will never be another who surpasses Barbara. Her voice is one in a trillion. No opera star, no pop favorite, NO ONE has and ever will be superior to Barbara. The Gods reached down on the day she was born and declared a miracle was to take place. BARBARA
Прекрасная певица, прекрасная актриса, замечательная и прекрасная женщина, спасибо за все хорошее что своим голосом несёшь в этот мир, дай бог вам здоровья и счастья!!!!
I love Barbara Streisand's voice more than anything with all my heart. Barbara, my star and a gem with a voice that touches and moves my heart, Barbara, I love your voice ❤️❤️
@@julitaal-haddad8584 She didn't. Elaine Page originated it when she was the very first Grizabella in Cats from 1981-1982 in the West End. This is a cover.
The range. The perfect pitch. The expressiveness. When she graces heaven, angels will have to learn how to song all over again. Can you imagine her with Tony? Pavorrati? Fleming? Ella! Natalie Cole?
Many decades ago, I first heard Betty Buckley and Elaine Page sing this song. My immediate thought: I've got to hear Streisand sing this. It would take another decade or so before I would finally discover this recording. The wait was worth it.
@@franklinacosta3743 Well Barbara's version came out the same year CATS hit Broadway for the 1st time. Loved it! A lot of us heard her version even b4 we heard Elaine Paige. So there is a bit of nostalgia there & we romanticize it. Much In the same way that we romanticize Jennifer Holiday's version of "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going" which was excellent as well. It's harder to do something 1st. So they get respect there. That said Heather Headley's version is def way more than just okay, & Jennifer Hudson's version of the latter song is actually better than the original.
@@briankeith9584 nah. Jennifer Hudson has a great voice, but it didn't impress me with this song. Definitely not better than the original or Barbara's.
I am 84 yrs old. I remember hearing this on the radio.....so did half my class! We begged our teacher to buy the music so we could sing it and she did, and we did, and it was among the best loved songs of that year. Which means it was the very early 50s when it came out. We're those children in the picture the originals or was there some other group of children that did it first? If so, who were they??? Would really love to know! 🙂🙂🙂
I took voice when I was in my teens but there were no opportunities for a kid from a small town. I would put in cassettes and sing along with Barbra while doing my housework and sing to my children. Her voice is so strong. I emulated every nuance of voice

Hope she has a good rest of her life. She’s proud of you
So sorry for your loss. Such good memories of your mom. My mom passed from a stroke this June she was 93 years old.. ❤
I'm so sorry 😢

God Bless your mom!
No one can touch her. She truly is in a league of her own. No exaggeration - sublime, transcendent.
it will be too close to call with CELINA DION AND BARBARA STREISAND.
@@brendenbroumand7580 I love Celine, went to Montreal to see her in concert, but very different voice types. (I'm not a voice expert)

Midnight, not a sound from the pavement
Has the moon lost her memory?
She is smiling alone
In the lamplight, the withered leaves collect at my feet
And the wind begins to moan
Memory, all alone in the moonlight
I can dream of the old days
Life was beautiful then
I remember the time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again
Every street lamp seems to beat
A fatalistic warning
Someone mutters and the street lamp sputters
And soon it will be morning
Daylight, I must wait for the sunrise
I must think of a new life
And I mustn't give in
When the dawn comes, tonight will be a memory too
And a new day will begin
Burnt out ends of smoky days
The stale, cold smell of morning
A street lamp dies, another night is over
Another day is dawning
Touch me, it's so easy to leave me
All alone with the memory
Of my days in the sun
If you touch me, you'll understand what happiness is
Look, a new day has begun

WHAT? have i got the right ears on? Or just too gullible to sarcasm?
The best version of Memory for me, Elaine Paige is so good, but Barbra takes me to another dimension 🥰
I Love Barbara Streisand's voice. It's so heartwarming and soothing. Barbara Streisand is a timeless woman. Her voice resonates within my Soul and Body. I Love her ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
My mum’s favourite singer was Barbra, we say our final goodbye this week to my mum.
Lots of Barbra will be played ❤
Наречена е "грозното патенце на Холивуд", но никой никога не може да сбърка невероятния и глас.
Бъдете благословенна госпожо Стрейзън.❤
барабонки!❤😂🎉
Ciao...da..by..gio...sss...primo...Milano...italy...ciao..
One of the most beautiful songs written! Thank you Andrew Lloyd Webber & Trevor Nunn and thank you Barbara for such a beautiful rendition!
Amo essa música!
I Love the music
To top that...the writer of this song couldn't have chosen a better singer at the time to bring it to life
Fantastic voice i love her multitalented
Andrew Lloyd Webber write this beautiful song for Elaine Page!
So flawless, beautiful. She makes vocal masterpieces look effortless.
This was released in 1982. Meaning no autotune. Goes to show that pitch perfection does not require fakery.
BARBRA........ one of the best voices all times
Barbra Streisand is one of the most special gifts that we'll have to hear in this life!
@P Deen are you deaf?
NOT REALLY
Yeah this is garbage lol
I agree and your ears are very special too, because they can recognise her voice as one the most special gifts in this life!
@@NelvdPoel get the wax out, mirah carey beats her HANDS DOWN
ITS LIKE THOUSANDS OF ANGELS CAME DOWN FROM HEAVEN TO SING FOR US...

Barbra Streisand has the loveliest and sweetest voice of all time. When a singer can bring tears to your eyes, they have done their job in full and beyond. BRAVO!! BRAVO!!
Ever wonder why few women attempt to sing songs Barbra Streisand performs? Because they can't. Barbra is a rare talent.
My mom passed at 52 in 1989 and I was only 24. She never got to see her granddaughter (she just turned 26) Barbara was her favorite. Hard to swallow and not cry every time I hear her sing. I miss you mom 💔
I'm right there with you... today marks 20 years for my mother.. so sorry for your loss
@@mikeking3507 Moms are special. Sorry for both your losses.
Just 8 for mine, later this yr.
We had a closeness/bond, not shared w/the other sibs.
I miss her, but know I’ll be w/her in God’s glorious heaven, forevermore.🙌
Sooner, over later, w/the way things are headed now.
Jesus is everyone’s Only Hope.✝️
you mom and barbara wants you not to cry girl;just embrace the magic :)
I'm in my teen years when I first hear this song MEMORY!! I am 😊😊enamored since then
That even at my Sr. yrs.
I still loving this the most nostalgic song😊
Of my times!!!❤❤❤!
Salamat! Ms.Streisand..
Nostalgic songs
her's is one of the greatest voices of the 20th century!

The voice. Absolutely incredible reach of scales, depth, intonation. Feeling.
21st century, is actually how its said
She is the best Debby boone too
Margaret you’re absolutely right
Midnight
Not a sound from the pavement
Has the moon lost her memory
She is smiling alone
In the lamplight
The withered leaves collect at my feet
And the wind begins to moan
Memory
All alone in the moonlight
I can smile happy your days (I can dream of the old days)
Life was beautiful then
I remember the time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again
Every street lamp seems to beat
A fatalistic warning
Someone mutters and the street lamp gutters
And soon it will be morning
Daylight
I must wait for the sunrise
I must think of a new life
And I mustn't give in
When the dawn comes
Tonight will be a memory too
And a new day will begin
Burnt out ends of smoky days
The still cold smell of morning
A street lamp dies, another night is over
Another day is dawning
Touch me,
It is so easy to leave me
All alone with the memory
Of my days in the sun
If you touch me,
You'll understand what happiness is
Look, a new day has begun
Thanks. 💖 I love people like you!!
bless you
🤍
Thank you for your written down lyrics. The song was told too old for me. Now that I read those words, I am so touched. The words were so beautiful.
Beautiful
I believe Barbra has the greatest voice of all time…her films were great as well! God blessed her and I am so thankful❤❤❤
The most beautiful women ever born...No one can achieve her fantastic voice. !
I first heard this song when I was a young boy, around 9-10 perhaps. I’m now 55 and as in awe as the first time I heard it. It’s vocal perfection from one of the greatest singers EVER! I love you Barbara!!! God Bless
Barbara Streisand was my idol in the early 70's, she sings with passion, emotion and feelings she is one of the best singer in world she is beautiful and has a beautiful voice God bless you and thank you for the video cheers
I play this song virtually daily in remembrance of my wife's passing away, memories are forever!
Its beatiful xxxx
My Mum's song also god rest her soul.
❤
I’m sorry for your loss
Sad for your loss. Been there!
I never thought anyone could sing that better than Elaine Paige. But wow, of course, Barbara!!!
I love her voice so much!!!
No singer has better control or understanding of their instrument than Barbra Streisand. Truly unique among performers. I love all kinds of music and performers but I always come back to Ms. Streisand. What an amazing musical career, in range of styles of music, longevity, universal appeal; and that doesn't even touch on her film career. I hope she directs again. If you've never seen Yentl, put it on your "must" list. This was her directorial debut. It is executed with the same precision with which she sings. Simply amazing.
Yes! Please put every Barbra Streisand movie, song and show on your list.
The Movie, Funny Girl and Barbra burst onto the film scene when I was barely ten.
Ms. Streisand and I grew up together. I was a Funny Girl and my nose had character but
I could not sing.
On a Clear Day, she helped me see the Forever. Clearly, Ms Streisand was someone
special in another life and was Himself the Brolin with her?
When her Hubbell said, "It was never not complicated, Katie"...I understood
The Way We Were.
I hope Barbra and I have many more songs and years together.
Thank you for the memories and songs of my past, present, and hopeful future.
@Andrew Ongais Yes, I have seen Lisa Fischer and she is remarkable.

I did not know Eva Cassidy and I am sorry that I missed her now that she is Somewhere over the Rainbow. ruclips.net/video/2rd8VktT8xY/видео.html
Remarkable voices, remarkable women.
@Andrew Ongais I appreciate the information but not the attitude. "Do your homework"?? Don't be a turd--that's your homework. Now that I know I've been listening to Lisa Fischer in the background for decades, I'll surely give her solo efforts a listen. Cheers.
I don't know why, out of the blue, I woke up with this song playing in my head. And it's my 50th birthday. I think God is trying to tell me something 🤗

Indeed
I’m only 29. I recently got into Barbara hearing her studio live cover of Make A Garden Grow & was blown away. Her voice is like a powerful velvet rope it’s hard to put into words.
honey it's Barbra not Barbara.... please get it right... she's a legind
It's legend of you want to be picky.
I love this song so much and I love her voice even more. Happy 82nd to our favorite singers’ inspiration, to the incomparable, iconic, and to one of the greatest singers of all time, Barbra Streisand! ❤🥳🎉🎊4/24/2024
You said it, Brother. She's GD Amazing!
discheJi
Голос - как хрустальный звон, как горный ручеек, чистый и многогранный. Так просто - вышла и спела. Только вот никто так не может больше. Это самое крутое исполнение на все времена. Люблю тебя, Барбара.
I did yesterday through a tik tok
Барбра, и только так - она официально удалила букву А из имени - чтобы ее имя не было длиннее имени мм...одного из мужей ) Простим нашей любимице этот каприз )
Бомба👍👍👍👍👍
Você e o máximo bárbara 💕💕
Magicznie, przepięknie. Niezrównana, wspaniała Barbara 👍❤
this was one of my late wife and i's favourite songs of all time. it still brings tears to my eyes as i can feel her so near to me when it plays. rod
❤❤❤
Peace to you Rod
I feel exactly the same way. This makes me feel so close to my daughter who passed away last December of Cancer. I miss her so so much. This song helps to ease the pain.
❤️
My husband's too. He passed last year 2021. 3 weeks after covid vax. He was so tall and fit. Ex army...he had a massive stroke. I do get some comfort from the music he loved.
Perfection. When she sings the last line, "Look, a new day has begun" and she sings the word "begun" on a high note to end the song is simply magical. It just seamlessly blends in with the music and just sounds ethereal like another world. No other version that I could find on RUclips, even the ones showing Broadway performances by Elaine Page or the new version by Jennifer Hudson does this. They end the note low. All amazing singers but this version by Barbara Streisand just takes it to the next level with that note.
mn ht she is the only one in history to pull that off , that high note is a pianissimo note , professional singers know that you basically need to be born with that talent because there is not academic technique to help you to achieve that so .. Barbra is the only pop singers that I know able to do this kind of feat
You have searched on RUclips and no one does it , are you going to tell me that all those other singers don’t want to finish this amazing song with note ? Of course yes .. can they ? Of course not !!!
@@MrLuis85698 Wow! I had no idea. No wonder the other singers don't do it because they can't do it! And no wonder why I love Barbara's version so much. Thanks so much for the info!
mn ht they say it is a technique, but I know there is not technique in the world to hit notes in pianissimo (the voice needs to float in the air ) the same applies for the whistle register ( only few like Mariah Carey ) can pull those whistle notes , but as hard as a whistle note is , the pianissimo notes are even way rarer .. very seldom you hear those notes , you know in the men side who can do that often effortlessly: Andrea Bocelli , his last note with Celine Dion is a male pianissimo, he is a tenor it sounds heavier but you can tell he is placing the sound as if the sound floats softly in the air “ and those high soft notes require a golden breath control to about breaking off
Me too. I saw her when I was young and I know she would be a star 🌟. I am 81 now and I still love her voice.
Doesn't matter how many times I've heard this masterpiece. Yet, every single time, when she starts singing -"Touch me, it's so easy to leave me...." part, I get chills and deep goosebumps!! Just an outstanding, an UNFORGETTABLE performance from her ❤️!!!👍🌹
Barbara, you have a celestial voice.
@Hello how are you doing
Midnight
Not a sound from the pavement
Has the moon lost her memory
She is smiling alone
In the lamplight
The withered leaves collect at my feet
And the wind begins to moan
Memory
All alone in the moonlight
I can dream of the old days
Life was beautiful then
I remember the time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again
Every street lamp seems to beat
A fatalistic warning
Someone mutters and the street lamp gutters
And soon it will be morning
Daylight
I must wait for the sunrise
I must think of a new life
And I mustn't give in
When the dawn comes
Tonight will be a memory too
And a new day will begin
Burnt out ends of smoky days
The still cold smell of morning
A street lamp dies, another night is over
Another day is dawning
Touch me,
It is so easy to leave me
All alone with the memory
Of my days in the sun
If you touch me,
You'll understand what happiness is
Look, a new day has begun

If you are fortunate to be able to hear the sounds of the world, this voice is a gift to us all!💖💖💖💖
I agree with you. You sound like a music head, Do you have a playlist you could share with me containing more classics
Ich habe sie vor 40 Jahren im Kino gesehen. Diese Frau ist ein Multitalent. Schauspielerin, Sängerin. Einfach umwerfend ❤
Her voice is so sweet and powerfull that I get immediately emotional and touched. The melody lifts you up and it feels you fly out of this time and go back to the happines in the early days.
her voice range is stunning
This is one of those rare songs that make you feel nostalgic about something you never experienced.
I did, I loved my man ❤ that's the reason to find this song today ❤
One of the best singers of all time
The story is that she did this in one take. I believe it. Simply fabulous.

Supernatural masterpiece
There has never been and there will never be another who surpasses Barbara. Her voice is one in a trillion. No opera star, no pop favorite, NO ONE has and ever will be superior to Barbara. The Gods reached down on the day she was born and declared a miracle was to take place. BARBARA
She hated the second" a " in her name
Прекрасная певица, прекрасная актриса, замечательная и прекрасная женщина, спасибо за все хорошее что своим голосом несёшь в этот мир, дай бог вам здоровья и счастья!!!!

I love Barbara Streisand's voice more than anything with all my heart. Barbara, my star and a gem with a voice that touches and moves my heart, Barbara, I love your voice ❤️❤️

This was my mother’s favorite song. She passed on 1984 and I still cry every time I hear it
Hello how are you
I met Barbra Streisand when she was on the flight I was working at the airport. She was very sweet and humble.
Private jets for all stars any longer. And the airplanes are stampede for everybody else.
So happy for your very special sweet memory ✨🙏😍🎤🎹🎼🎧
That drop is like 'The Way We Were' this song was meant for Ms. Streisand❤
Well said...Streisand owns this song!
Ha please this song was made for Betty Buckley although Streisand sung it Beautifuly it always brings a tear to my eye
Agreed!
Agree!!!!

OMG, Streisand is the queen of this song. i have never hear a better version!
She is the one who *made* it what did you expect
@@julitaal-haddad8584 She didn't. Elaine Page originated it when she was the very first Grizabella in Cats from 1981-1982 in the West End. This is a cover.
@@BlazeIgnitus she is originated it on stage for the musical..but it's this version that has made the song a worldwide HIT...we ear why!
I cry every time I hear this song, her voice makes my heart shiver.
Im crying now...
@@yelena.abolmasova Amazing that music can have such an impact.
I cried too
Barbra's version is very good, but you must have a listen to Elaine Paige's version in the stage play of Cats. It's heart stopping!
The range. The perfect pitch. The expressiveness. When she graces heaven, angels will have to learn how to song all over again.
Can you imagine her with Tony? Pavorrati? Fleming? Ella! Natalie Cole?
Many decades ago, I first heard Betty Buckley and Elaine Page sing this song. My immediate thought: I've got to hear Streisand sing this. It would take another decade or so before I would finally discover this recording. The wait was worth it.
I don't think I have heard a song from Barbra Streisand that I disliked. Her voice is unmatched. Absolutely love her. 🙂❤
she has a beautiful voice nobody can beat her she makes you feel the song
There are a few that come close tho. Go check out Heather Headley singing this live.
@@briankeith9584 nah. She's not bad, but not even close to Barbara.
@@franklinacosta3743 Well Barbara's version came out the same year CATS hit Broadway for the 1st time. Loved it! A lot of us heard her version even b4 we heard Elaine Paige. So there is a bit of nostalgia there & we romanticize it. Much In the same way that we romanticize Jennifer Holiday's version of "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going" which was excellent as well. It's harder to do something 1st. So they get respect there. That said Heather Headley's version is def way more than just okay, & Jennifer Hudson's version of the latter song is actually better than the original.
@@briankeith9584 nah. Jennifer Hudson has a great voice, but it didn't impress me with this song. Definitely not better than the original or Barbara's.
@@franklinacosta3743 Ha!😂
I am 84 yrs old. I remember hearing this on the radio.....so did half my class! We begged our teacher to buy the music so we could sing it and she did, and we did, and it was among the best loved songs of that year. Which means it was the very early 50s when it came out. We're those children in the picture the originals or was there some other group of children that did it first? If so, who were they??? Would really love to know! 🙂🙂🙂
Богиня на все времена! Одна из прекраснейших женщин и певиц, чей голос всегда разрывает сердце.
Memories are so important
Barbara shares her stunning voice with us. And we remember when
Very nice comment to make. You were spot on with your assessment.
Такие люди рождаются раз в 100 лет. Талант!!!!!!👑❤️👏👏👏
I took voice when I was in my teens but there were no opportunities for a kid from a small town. I would put in cassettes and sing along with Barbra while doing my housework and sing to my children. Her voice is so strong. I emulated every nuance of voice
A very special singer on an amazing song........perfection.
Поет так легко ,без надрыва.Супер!!!!!☺😊😁 спасибо Барбара💜💜💜
Да вы правы поёт как дышит.
3:00 This part is beautiful it makes me so happy and I don’t really know why!

Of my days in the sun
If you touch me,
You'll understand what happiness is
Look, a new day has begun
