God is love, human love is fallible, Gods love is infallible, but if you are thinking of religion you are right,, Gods true love comes to us through and by knowing His Son Jesus Christ who Himself is God indeed, this is a true relationship not man made religion, all the best to you, I pray that you will find real peace as only Christ can give
You can be gay, you can be non-monogamous, whatever you are in your private life, and still honor the God in all of us with selfless action. I think the true God is far less concerned with little rules and far more concerned with the people you help and the good you do.
I was just a little girl when this, my favorite movie , who’s lyrics I memorized, was in theaters, and I followed the words to this song my whole life, without regret. One of the most beautiful songs , Thank you!!
The Reverend Mother is a true leader: wise, loving, and compassionate. I think this is my favorite scene in the movie, including the beginning where the Reverend Mother tells Maria, “You’ve been unhappy. I’m sorry.”
She was a truly great mentor… recognising the limitations of her mentee, but directing Maria to a better and more fulfilling destination/career path, despite her resistance. Much can be learned from the RM, both in terms of her approach to humanity, and her approach to human resources.
Maria learned an important lesson that day. Just because she loved Georg, didn’t mean she loved God less. She could honor God just as well being a wife and mother as she could being a nun.
Well said. I know a girl who I like and she likes me back, but the problem is that I'm discerning the priesthood. If I ever get the chance to court her, I want to say this to her, "I want you to remember this and keep it close to your heart. If nothing else, even if my name and face and voice become unbeknownst to me, I want you to remember this: No matter what we become, I want us to be a father and a mother. Whether as a priest and a nun, a husband and a wife, or a social worker like a teacher or doctor, I want us to be a father figure and a mother figure to those whom we are called to serve. For God Himself calls us to serve others, and no two people are better at serving than the father and the mother."
No one is born a nun and Maria’s vows were certainly put to the test after she realized she had feelings for the captain. I think that a lot of nuns would admit that the cow of celibacy is one of their sterner challenges, but then again, it’s not for everyone.
@@vincentreyes6154 "a girl who I like and she likes me back" "If I ever get the chance to court her," - you already have that chance "the problem is that I'm discerning the priesthood" "no two people are better at serving than the father and the mother." - sounds like the priesthood is not a problem. You have already decided that you can serve God just as well if you were a father. You already have a candidate available. You have already decided to date her.
“These walls where not built to shut out problems, you have to face them”. I absolutely love this line, we often think that church or our homes are escape places , although they are safe and peaceful places to rest our heads , we cannot stow ourselves away from Gods plan. We must find our confidence in the lord, and pursue his plan. Remember when the lord closes a door , somehow he opens a window.
I first watched this movie when I was really young, too young to really know what it's about, but that line always stuck with me as well (tho i don't really know why), until it's one of the only lines i can remember from the movie (which defo means i need to rewatch it)
Just found out today (August 2024) that he died. Only thing is he actually may not be at the top of the mountain, but rather suffering in the bottom of the firey pit.
The Reverend Mother is truly the wisest yet most enigmatic character of the entire story: 1. For someone who had spent so many years of her life behind walls, she seems to understand the life and even the very nature of the world outside those walls much, much better than those who live in that external world. 2. Though she truly loved and cared for Maria like a biological daughter, and acknowledged Maria's sincere devotion to God as well as her gift for music and songs, I sensed she already knew from the very beginning that Maria was not meant for the life behind walls, and that her gifts were for elsewhere. 3. Though she told Maria that the walls were not built to shut out problems, she still let Maria and her new family utilise those very walls to hide from their pursuers, and even gave them all her most sincere blessings. Hence, I cannot help wondering if, once upon a time, the Reverend Mother had once been in Maria's shoes herself, having to make a choice, only that unlike Maria, she made a different choice. And while she had made peace with that choice long ago, and even found another true calling in it, she wished for Maria to pursue the other life that she herself did not all those years ago.
It never, absolutely never, occurred to me, as a child, that every nun in that monastery was probably arrested for helping them escape. A couple of them were probably killed.
In real life, Maria was not in love with Georg but she loved the children. She did ask the nuns for advice and they said that it was God's will that she should marry Georg. In all honesty, if they made a more accurate movie, this song still would fit in when it came to them getting married.
@@sambascom2884 interesting, I watched a program from Austria on this movie+reall life behind it, and it was saying, according to her, "she was swept off her feet by the man":)
One of the greatest movies ever made. It won multiple Academy Awards including Best Picture, and yet if it were made today it wouldn't be up for any Academy Awards as it doesn't have any black people in it.
When I was a child watching this movie I thought climb every mountain was just that. As an adult I now understand exactly what mountains she is referring to. They are many. Climb every mountain.
Not enough people give credit to the actress here. She wasn't actually singing, but had to flawlessly look like she was. It really takes great talent to do that.
boom! same. the third decade of your life is definitely the time to revisit these kind of classic childhood movies. Truly understanding the themes now makes them a little more special
I just watched this movie for the first time since I was a kid or at most a young teenager. The meaning and message should be obvious, but man, it's so much more meaningful as an adult. I totally get it now. Some people say the film is cheesy, but those people have got to be bitter or something. There's nothing cheesy about living a meaningful life, doing the right thing, and embracing and holding close the ones you love.
Rogers and Hammerstein were corresponding with a nun, Sister Gregory of Rosary College, to try to make their musical accurate to what nuns experience. Some of the stuff she told them, about the struggle to find one's purpose in life, inspired them to write this song, and when they sent her the lyrics, she was so moved she had to run to the chapel to pray. She said it captures the yearning that so many feel but so few can articulate. I love it...while some of the rest of the songs in this movie have become cliches, this has retained its power.
Moving lyrics. Climb every mountain Search high and low Follow every byway Every path you know Climb every mountain Ford every stream Follow every rainbow Till you find your dream A dream that will need All the love you can give Every day of your life For as long as you live Climb every mountain Ford every stream Follow every rainbow Till you find your dream A dream that will need All the love you can give Every day of your life For as long as you live Climb every mountain Ford every stream Follow every rainbow Till you find your dream
@@mideon84 I did sing through even though it was hard. I actually choked up more on Edelweiss, made it though and everyone sang it with me one the second go around..
‘ But I pledged my life to God I pledged my life to his service.’ ‘My daughter, if you love this man it does not mean you love God less. You must find out, and you must go back.’ My favourite lines in this incredible movie that I’ve loved since I was very young.
As a child, this song was fun to pretend to sing with like an opera singer... But hearing it now as an adult, this song is an encouraging hug to both my ears & my heart 💖
Growing up , I never understood this song. I was young and thought she was screaming but now as an Adult I can fully testify to the song. After climbing every mountain song got me in Tears. It never dies.. 😊😢 ohh my grandmother singing it as well has me like this: 😭😭
Well I'm 56 years old and you aren't the only one that feels that way it's good that we can cry about these things and realize and all along God was in control.
Everything about this scene is perfection. The way it is shot, the use of light and and shadow. Like others on here, I didn't understand the significance of this scene, nor the meaning in the song as a child but now that I'm older, it speaks to me on so many levels and I listen to it whenever I need encouragement. I can't listen to it without weeping. Rodgers and Hammerstein were the best. This is musical gold. Just beautiful.
_"Everything about this scene is perfection. The way it is shot, the use of light and and shadow."_ I agree with you, with one quibble. The "stained glass" window didn't look authentic to me. It looks like it would be more at home in a South Chicago beer dive than in a convent of nuns in the 1930s.
@@jodywilke4642 ...you don't know me, so you cannot declare me "ignorant" based on one opinion. To do so makes _you_ closed-minded and intolerant. And I stand by my criticism --- that "stained glass window" doesn't look authentic for the intended setting. Any window of this type in a convent would almost certainly have an overtly religious design. That is my opinion. And you are wrong to say that I am not a fan of _The Sound of Music._ Quite the contrary, it's one of my all-time favorite movies. The marriage scene, in my view, is one of the best depictions of a formal wedding ceremony in the history of cinema.
@@frisco21 I realize I don't know you, and maybe that's a good thing. And since we live in a free country, you have a right to your opinion, and I have a right to mine. Now go away.
@@jodywilke4642 ... _"Now go away."_ It appears you are a person who doesn't tolerate differing opinions well, and who feels entitled to order others around. That's classic bullying behavior. It must suck to be you. All things considered, I enthusiastically endorse your view that we are fortunate not to know each other. Have a nice day.
Robert Wise was one of the great directors. He doesn't get enough credit. His use of light and shadow in this scene ( as well in Maria in WSS) is brilliant.
I don’t care HOW old this song is, her voice and especially the orchestra behind supporting her is extraordinary! And I enjoy this as if I only heard it today!😊
@@CK51515 Certainly is KAL, I saw the film with my late mom ' Thought it was Momentous then and still do now.Kind regards Glynn and greetings from Stourbridge West Midlands UK 🤝
Thanks to military service I had the privilege of visiting Austria 3 times. Incredibly beautiful country. THE SOUND OF MUSIC doesn't quite capture the awesome nature of those mountains. You got to go there to better understand and even appreciate this film.
My favorite part is where the lighting shifts and the Mother says "You have to live the life you where born to live". Something about it hits deep for me with the shadows.
im only a teenager, but i have watched this movie so many times since i was like... 3 years old, it never gets boring, and i love all the songs, i think this movie was the main contributor to my love of opera, musical theatre and old movies like this
I can understand how you felt. It is a very powerful scene, and imo the most beautiful song in the movie. I remember being completely stunned by the music as a young child.
What a stupid thing to say. All the musicians involved in an effort like this worked long hard hours to achieve such a thing. Please give them their credit.
My mom truly loved this movie and she showed me again and again while I barely understood cuz I was too small to understand the stuff of life. And like after 20 years have passed, as a 23-year-old girl, I cried to this. My life would never go as planned and i’m crying all these days but this song makes me feel like i got a compass in my heart. Thank you Peggy.
Sending you hugs, have been in your shoes at 23 when life seemed to fall down around me too. Had had the sound of music since the age of 5. Now, at 29 nearly 30, I can promise you there is hope and life's challenges do change. You will be OK. :) xx
I had a similar realization about Gone with the Wind, Inn of the the Sixth Happiness and Fiddler on the Roof. They each had an enormous formative influence on me.
Today is my mother's birthday. This was her favourite song. It was played at her funeral as well. This song is the lesson she taught me. Always chase for your better self and the goals you want to achieve, and she always gave the right example. I have tears in my eyes right now, but also feel grateful for having had MY mother. May she rest in peace (and I am sure, she watched me listening to this song and was smiling)...
I have seen The Sound of Music over 50 times. This song never ceases to grab my heart and choke me up. I never get tired of seeing the movie or listening to the wonderful score by Rogers and Hammerstein.
My father loved this musical, and so did I. On the way home from my accordion lessons, Dad would put the 8-track tape into the tape player in his 1962 Mercury convertible, and we'd sing the entire libretto at the top of our lungs. On days like today (when I miss him badly), this is one of the songs I turn to to remind me of the lessons he taught...I miss you dad.
This song is one of the greatest romantic love songs ever written. Basically, it says you must follow your heart and go for it! Love the person your heart beats for. Many times, we deny ourselves the chance to experience true love out of fear of disappointing God, our loved ones, our church, etc. But, in this scene, the older nun is telling Maria that "you have to live the life you were born to live," which means that you must fight for your love, and that God wants you to fulfill your destiny of being with your soul mate, whether you are straight or gay (or whatever).
I agree and was following your comment until you mentioned the gay part. Jesus never contradicts himself, and I don't think God made mistakes. God loves everyone, but when you claim that you think you're an opposite gender when you're not. You are basically calling God a liar, and he doesn't know what he was doing...
It amazes me how you people only hear what you want to hear. The song has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with sexuality. It doesn’t mean “ignore God and follow your wishes” either. It literally is about following God’s will and not what you think that will is. So, no, this song doesn’t apply to gay-nonmonogamous people like I’ve read a couple time, cause that’s against God’s law. If you use your sexuality for your pleasure only and not to love and give life, then you’re sinning. And sinning is most definitely NOT God’s will. Stop misinterpreting this song for God’s sake!
I'm 64 in early 2021. I saw this motion picture in 1965 on a school field trip. No movie scene has ever moved me as much as this one. None. Never. To this day. I was 21 when Peggy Wood passed away. It affected me tremendously.
What an absolute genius Richard Rodgers was. The bridge between the verses has a downwards scale that goes down almost an octave but the key shifts up a semitone. One of the best songs of all time.
All these decades later, Peggy Wood still gives me chills with her magnificent singing! I have always wondered if Miss Andrews knew then that what she was hearing would become iconic and revered!
Peggy never sang it in the movie, she couldn't reach the descant,(high note) it was sung by Margaret Mckay and dubbed on to the sound track. In this clip Peggy is lipsyncing it although brilliantly.😍
My all time favourite song of encouragement because the meaning partly for me is that by following up and digging into in great depth the everyday events and meetings of life I often find in hindsight valuable nuggets to enrich my life . For example to recognise the qualities of a person, or the significance of a place that were not obvious at the time, but later thought and research has revealed something important. Essentially though for me its about FAITH in GOD and the CROSS. I have to work hard by giving at every opportunity that passes me because I often find a hidden gem waiting for me either on the journey to or at the destination. It feels like life becomes so full of joy as I age and discover these nuggets of sustenance more plentiful , which feels like the the love of God and the promise of Salvation. For me we have to give with considered and deserved true love every single day, up hill and over dale, but the only thing that matters in this life is Judgement Day. Salvation and Everlasting Life is what Jesus gave us at Calvary Hill.
Rogers and Hammerstein are incomparable. I saw this movie when it first came out back in the sixties and there's been nothing like it since. The music and lyrics are truly incredible.
I remember in 2012 I was always watching The Sound of Music and singing the songs while the other kids were jumping around to pop songs. I always used to feel left out for not liking the same things as the other kids do. 8 years later, I'm in high-school. Now I think that all of the other teens at my school are the ones truly missing out.
When I was growing up (back in the '60s) I had a similar experience. My Dad was an audiophile, and we were the first in our neighborhood to have a 4-track car-stereo in our station-wagon. He recorded his own tapes, with 40's popular and classical music: Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Carmen Dragon, Glenn Gould, Leonard Bernstein, as well as the great movie soundtracks. Whenever we went on camping trips, thats all we listened to. I loved it! Then the Beatles came along, and guess what? Their stuff was great too! (Although my parents didn't quite get it !;) In fact, the musical revolution that started in the early '50s (triggered by the invention of the electric guitar) was one of the greatest in the history of western civilization. And it went on for the next 30-40 years, only to start petering out in the mid 1980s. Of course this is just my opinion, but the stuff that passes for 'pop music' these days is really pathetic -- utterly lacking in originality, and polluted by technologies like auto-tune. There are some great movie soundtrack composers around now, Morricone, Hans Zimmer, Mark Isham, among others (Georges Delerue). But for all intents, 'Pop Music' as it was originally defined, barely exists anymore. The good news? If you want to find an abundance of buried musical treasures, there is no better place to start digging than RUclips. Start with Al Jolson, Glenn Miller, 'Hooked on Swing', 'Boogie-Woogie', Louis Armstrong, Judy Garland, Ella Fitzgerald, Count Basie, Andrews Sisters, Bobby Darin, Ray Charles, Buddy Holly, Elvis, Beatles, Beach Boys (Surf Rock), Country Western, Arlo Guthrie (much better than his old man), Hollies, Dave Clark Five, Pretenders, Seekers, Springsteen, Sting, Carole King, Righteous Brothers, James Taylor, Simon & Garfunkle, Billy Joel, Fleetwood Mac, Eagles, Dire Straits, Jackson Browne...I could go on...and on !;) And classical as well: Borodin, Tchaikovsky, Ravel, Gershwin, Wagner, Smetana, Saint Saens, Rachmaninoff, Beethoven, Bach, Brahms, Enya, Moby, Mormon Tabernacle Choir -- which has been transformed by their genius music director, Mack Wilberg. Here's another interesting niche: Scottish Royal Dragoon Guards -- exhilarating beautiful music and lyrical content! Check out Vera Lynn (who just turned 103 two weeks ago), and who's songs defined popular music during WWII. And where did all this stuff originate? Almost entirely an invention of Western Civilization, without peer in any other culture on the planet. And thanks to yet another invention of Western-Civ (the Internet), successive generations who are so inclined, have but to login and look to enjoy it.
@@tbthomas5117 Wow, thank you for this! I agree with you, most pop artist think that autotune is an instrument. 😂 I grew up with classical music too, my parents never liked the mainstream music so I have a bunch of CD's by some of the artists that you've mentioned too. My CD-player is also pretty old and it has a option to play tapes as well, so I always listen to things my mum recorded back from back in the 80's. One of my biggest fears is that classical music/any older genre's will become completely "extinct" or it won't be available anymore due to new music. There are thousands of people who are now trying to get into the music industry with their pop music because it's the mainstream and they want to make money this way. Luckily you still get the neo-classical music and music by Hans Zimmer that you've mentioned. I like to call these "movie-music". I just find it pretty upsetting that most teenagers who still listen to these will be considered as losers or attention seekers for not liking the same as the majority of other people. I will definitely listen to the music you have mentioned in your comment. Once again thank you for your effort!
@@ekisjani If you haven't already, Do check out Hans Zimmer's live performance art, and interviews where he discusses that, and a variety of perspectives on 'modern classical' music. He has some very interesting things to say about the role of 'conductors' in the modern genre. You've probably already seen these, but if not, here's a starting point: ruclips.net/video/FkmWxOfsPuE/видео.html I've watched this extraordinary BBC documentary several times: Howard Goodalls Story of Music 1 of 6: The Age of Discovery ruclips.net/video/I0Y6NPahlDE/видео.html Of course I recommend watching all six episodes. Until I saw this, I did not realize that 'Western Music' was (and continues to be) an actual 'invention', unique in its construction, and shaped by the rapidly evolving Western culture and technology following the collapse of the Roman Empire. Re: Soundtracks... Years ago (2004), I had just watched an American Experience documentary of the story of Seabiscuit, which included newsreel footage of the original Seabiscuit vs. War Admiral match race, at the Pimlico race-track in November of 1939. The documentary was terrific, but somehow I felt the 2-minute segment showing the real-world 'greatest upset in horse-racing history' deserved a little more exciting audio to back it up. One day I was at my office working on a weekend, listening to a 'Great Soundtracks' CD I had made, and a clip from the movie 'The Untouchables' came up. It was one of those 'Eureka Moments', and I knew I had found the perfect audio track for the Seabiscuit match race. I spent a few hours cobbling together a video using the Microsoft video editor for my personal collection. Purely due to dumb-luck, I was able to cut about 10-seconds out of the Untouchables audio, and drop the rest into the American Experience video footage, only to discover that the music matched the video of the race perfectly, stride-for-stride, start-to-finish-line. A few years later, I read a news story that Google had bought a thing called 'youtube.com' for $1.5-billion (I had never heard of it at the time). I checked it out, and figured it was the perfect venue for my Seabiscuit video. Still the best I ever made, and I am quite certain, the best film-treatment of the actual race to be found anywhere. (As I'm sure the 13,252 viewers who have seen it would agree !;) ruclips.net/video/aQx3FMoDGE0/видео.html
Don't be ashamed of what you love, of what moves your soul. It's who you are, don't apologize for it. Who cares what kids at school think. In five years you won't even know most of those people anymore. 🙂
"You have to live the life you were born to live." "A dream that will need all the love you can give, everyday of your life for as long as you live" Best lines! 💖
This song gets me every time. A few years ago my mum and I were visiting my Nannie and we were talking about music. She told my mum that she wanted this song played at her funeral. She passed away a year or so later and I went to her funeral with my parents and my little brother. I was really sad so my dad took me to the kitchen in the funeral home and made me a sandwich. I was finally starting to calm down when they played this song. I was a mess all over again. It was truthfully the saddest day of my life and I’m sorry for spilling all of this to the Internet. I’ve never really talked about it to anyone I guess so I’m dumping it all here. I miss you so much Nannie❤️
I've seen it no more than 10 times, and I'm older than Methusela !;) I never tire of the soundtrack. My only gripe with the film (and I know its really no big deal)... Can you imagine what really would have happened to the Nuns at that convent for pulling the distributor caps out of the Nazi's pursuit vehicles? And who taught them how to do that anyway??? Thank you for your comment. Just for the record, this is a (proudly) non-monetized YT site.
@@tbthomas5117 nuns I've heard had to fix alot of things to keep things running So why couldn't they know how to stop things from running ? Plus Its not like they never experienced anything before being nuns Maybe they worked on family farm
Richard Rodgers was an absolute genius. The bridge between verses when the incomplete downward scale leads to a key shift up a semitone is absolutely sublime.
Since I was little I liked this scene the most. Although I didn't understand the lyrics at that time, I still felt the motherly energy that guide us kindly and strongly. Yesterday when I watched it again after more than 20 years and I finally understood the lyrics fully, I couldn't stop crying. What an absolutely beautiful scene.
Though the actress playing the scene, Peggy Wood, was dubbed by Margery McKay. Dubbing was very common in musicals and in fact Marni Nixon (who played one of the nuns) was frequently engaged to dub the voices in numerous film musicals, though never credited at the time (even on the cast albums). I must say Les Miserables, the film of the musical, would have benefited if Russell Crowe had been dubbed!
This has to be one of my favorite scenes, if not my favorite scene from this movie! ❤️ Ever since I saw the movie, this song always holds a special place in my heart for many different reasons and I love singing this song but ofc the reverend mother sings it better lol. Anyways the reason that I love this song is because this is the part where I feel like Maria really finds herself and realizes that she has to live the life she was born to live, just like the song says 😊
These walls where not built to shut out problems you have to face them you have to live life the way you where born to live this song has taught me so much and about dreams and waiting for something good to come along I think if it wasn't for the sound of music I wouldn't be me 😀 this movie was a blessing thanks to my grandmother.
I'm 66. This song has brought me to tears everytime for 56 years. 0:39 😅
I'm 67. Brings goosebumps to me also, since I saw it in the theatre at about 9 yrs old.
Me too
Me too.
I came here to say something similar ❤
I can relate. Beautiful story. ❤
“Just because you love a man doesn’t mean you love god any less” good god I wish people would listen to that quote more

You can be gay, you can be non-monogamous, whatever you are in your private life, and still honor the God in all of us with selfless action. I think the true God is far less concerned with little rules and far more concerned with the people you help and the good you do.

Can we appreciate how kind and understanding Reverend Mother was?
The Reverend Mother is a true leader: wise, loving, and compassionate. I think this is my favorite scene in the movie, including the beginning where the Reverend Mother tells Maria, “You’ve been unhappy. I’m sorry.”
She was a truly great mentor… recognising the limitations of her mentee, but directing Maria to a better and more fulfilling destination/career path, despite her resistance. Much can be learned from the RM, both in terms of her approach to humanity, and her approach to human resources.
And how she says "you have to face" your problems.... so wise and true!
The simple words of sympathy she said to Maria just tugs at my heart-"You're unhappy". "I'm sorry "
As a protestant - we rely on our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Maria learned an important lesson that day. Just because she loved Georg, didn’t mean she loved God less. She could honor God just as well being a wife and mother as she could being a nun.
I love this. Thanks for the words
Ffs ....... who left the onions out?! 😭😭😭😭🙏🏻
Well said. I know a girl who I like and she likes me back, but the problem is that I'm discerning the priesthood.

I absolutely love this line, we often think that church or our homes are escape places , although they are safe and peaceful places to rest our heads , we cannot stow ourselves away from Gods plan. We must find our confidence in the lord, and pursue his plan. Remember when the lord closes a door , somehow he opens a window.

The Reverend Mother is truly the wisest yet most enigmatic character of the entire story:
1. For someone who had spent so many years of her life behind walls, she seems to understand the life and even the very nature of the world outside those walls much, much better than those who live in that external world.
2. Though she truly loved and cared for Maria like a biological daughter, and acknowledged Maria's sincere devotion to God as well as her gift for music and songs, I sensed she already knew from the very beginning that Maria was not meant for the life behind walls, and that her gifts were for elsewhere.
3. Though she told Maria that the walls were not built to shut out problems, she still let Maria and her new family utilise those very walls to hide from their pursuers, and even gave them all her most sincere blessings.
Hence, I cannot help wondering if, once upon a time, the Reverend Mother had once been in Maria's shoes herself, having to make a choice, only that unlike Maria, she made a different choice. And while she had made peace with that choice long ago, and even found another true calling in it, she wished for Maria to pursue the other life that she herself did not all those years ago.
It never, absolutely never, occurred to me, as a child, that every nun in that monastery was probably arrested for helping them escape. A couple of them were probably killed.
I love your thought provoking comment, and I think you might be right about the reverend mother
In real life, Maria was not in love with Georg but she loved the children. She did ask the nuns for advice and they said that it was God's will that she should marry Georg. In all honesty, if they made a more accurate movie, this song still would fit in when it came to them getting married.
@@sambascom2884 interesting, I watched a program from Austria on this movie+reall life behind it, and it was saying, according to her, "she was swept off her feet by the man":)
Very wise of her
Julie Andrews should have won the Oscar for her role in this movie
oooiiiuuuppp1 this actress is not actually singing this
@@judyfowler2023 I understand the actress Peggy Wood voice was dubbed. Just referring to Julie Andrews performance. Thanks
@@oooiiiuuuppp1 Marni Nixon (who also appeared in the movie) sang for her.
@@gordontaylor5373 not Marni Nixon, this is a much older woman singing - Margery McKay according to Imdb
AMEN.. She was better in this than Mary Poppins!!!!
One of the greatest moments in all of cinema history 🕊️
Without question!!!
Amen!!
One of the greatest movies ever made. It won multiple Academy Awards including Best Picture, and yet if it were made today it wouldn't be up for any Academy Awards as it doesn't have any black people in it.
When I was a child watching this movie I thought climb every mountain was just that. As an adult I now understand exactly what mountains she is referring to. They are many. Climb every mountain.
I had a similar revelation with "Feed the Birds." So much depth to that song...
I had the same confusion with Prince and the Revolution's "I want to funk you."
Not enough people give credit to the actress here. She wasn't actually singing, but had to flawlessly look like she was. It really takes great talent to do that.
I never understood this song, until I got older. I'm crying now..
One of my favourite songs of the film
boom! same. the third decade of your life is definitely the time to revisit these kind of classic childhood movies. Truly understanding the themes now makes them a little more special
Just like me..
Amen sister!!!!❤️🙏
I just watched this movie for the first time since I was a kid or at most a young teenager. The meaning and message should be obvious, but man, it's so much more meaningful as an adult. I totally get it now.
Some people say the film is cheesy, but those people have got to be bitter or something. There's nothing cheesy about living a meaningful life, doing the right thing, and embracing and holding close the ones you love.
Rogers and Hammerstein were corresponding with a nun, Sister Gregory of Rosary College, to try to make their musical accurate to what nuns experience. Some of the stuff she told them, about the struggle to find one's purpose in life, inspired them to write this song, and when they sent her the lyrics, she was so moved she had to run to the chapel to pray. She said it captures the yearning that so many feel but so few can articulate. I love it...while some of the rest of the songs in this movie have become cliches, this has retained its power.
Michael Cornett please how I get the full movie
Powerful

My mom wanted me to sing this at her memorial. it is more than a month away, it will be hard not to cry.
Your voice may break but never stop singing. Singing through the tears and pain is one of the greatest signs of love.
All my love and prayers xxx may She Rest In Peace
@@sammyabbott1054 You are the sweetest, thank you so much. Today being Mothers day was hard on me.
@@mideon84 I did sing through even though it was hard. I actually choked up more on Edelweiss, made it though and everyone sang it with me one the second go around..
My condolences....you will be wonderful 💕
‘ But I pledged my life to God I pledged my life to his service.’
‘My daughter, if you love this man it does not mean you love God less. You must find out, and you must go back.’
My favourite lines in this incredible movie that I’ve loved since I was very young.
I might add...just don't put him above God.
"You must go back, to challenge Scar!" Whoops, wrong movie
As a child, this song was fun to pretend to sing with like an opera singer... But hearing it now as an adult, this song is an encouraging hug to both my ears & my heart 💖
This song gave me such inspiration - as a 15 year0l whod had just lost his father - it gave me hope and belief
Growing up , I never understood this song. I was young and thought she was screaming but now as an Adult I can fully testify to the song. After climbing every mountain song got me in Tears. It never dies.. 😊😢 ohh my grandmother singing it as well has me like this: 😭😭
Best part of the movie....
Same
Well I'm 56 years old and you aren't the only one that feels that way it's good that we can cry about these things and realize and all along God was in control.
Everything about this scene is perfection. The way it is shot, the use of light and and shadow. Like others on here, I didn't understand the significance of this scene, nor the meaning in the song as a child but now that I'm older, it speaks to me on so many levels and I listen to it whenever I need encouragement. I can't listen to it without weeping. Rodgers and Hammerstein were the best. This is musical gold. Just beautiful.
_"Everything about this scene is perfection. The way it is shot, the use of light and and shadow."_ I agree with you, with one quibble. The "stained glass" window didn't look authentic to me. It looks like it would be more at home in a South Chicago beer dive than in a convent of nuns in the 1930s.
@@frisco21 How ignorant. You're obviously not a fan, of this movie.
@@jodywilke4642 ...you don't know me, so you cannot declare me "ignorant" based on one opinion. To do so makes _you_ closed-minded and intolerant. And I stand by my criticism --- that "stained glass window" doesn't look authentic for the intended setting. Any window of this type in a convent would almost certainly have an overtly religious design. That is my opinion. And you are wrong to say that I am not a fan of _The Sound of Music._ Quite the contrary, it's one of my all-time favorite movies. The marriage scene, in my view, is one of the best depictions of a formal wedding ceremony in the history of cinema.
@@frisco21 I realize I don't know you, and maybe that's a good thing. And since we live in a free country, you have a right to your opinion, and I have a right to mine. Now go away.
@@jodywilke4642 ... _"Now go away."_ It appears you are a person who doesn't tolerate differing opinions well, and who feels entitled to order others around. That's classic bullying behavior. It must suck to be you. All things considered, I enthusiastically endorse your view that we are fortunate not to know each other. Have a nice day.
Robert Wise was one of the great directors. He doesn't get enough credit. His use of light and shadow in this scene ( as well in Maria in WSS) is brilliant.
This song will never age. The lyrics are so encouraging and motivating.
I don’t care HOW old this song is, her voice and especially the orchestra behind supporting her is extraordinary! And I enjoy this as if I only heard it today!😊
I completely agree!
Rodgers and Hammerstein wrote many great songs, but a few went even beyond great, beyond description. This is one of them.
"Something Wonderful" is one of them - about loyalty in any troubled relationship.
@@mikef5881 "Some Enchanted Evening", from "South Pacific", is another wonderful song, from a Rogers and Hammerstein movie.
My first real glimpse of them was Impossible from Cinderella
What my mother thinks she sounds like when she sings in church.
What our hearts and souls sound like, no matter our voices.
And what does she really sound like? Roseanne Barr singing the national anthem?
I would say every church-going white female age 50 to 75 thinks she can sing like this LOL
It was a lip synch, FWIW
🤣🤣🤣
Is anyone else searching this up during quarantine
Can go with Steve Jobs "Never settle" speech.
Amazing song
@@CK51515 Certainly is KAL, I saw the film with my late mom ' Thought it was Momentous then and still do now.Kind regards Glynn and greetings from Stourbridge West Midlands UK 🤝

Exactly.
Thanks to military service I had the privilege of visiting Austria 3 times. Incredibly beautiful country. THE SOUND OF MUSIC doesn't quite capture the awesome nature of those mountains. You got to go there to better understand and even appreciate this film.
“These walls were not built to shut out problems. You have to face them.” Immortal words.
My favorite part is where the lighting shifts and the Mother says "You have to live the life you where born to live". Something about it hits deep for me with the shadows.
'Climb every mountain, ford every stream, follow every rainbow till you find your dream'- Perhaps in 2021 we will all find our dreams-xx 💖
I’m still looking for mine.
Gives me chills and goosebumps
My mother’s 80th birthday party is next week and we’ve hired a singer to open the party with this, her favorite song.
Hope she had a magical birthday
How’d she like it?
im only a teenager, but i have watched this movie so many times since i was like... 3 years old, it never gets boring, and i love all the songs, i think this movie was the main contributor to my love of opera, musical theatre and old movies like this
It was for many of us :) For that nostalgia of an era thats immortalised in films like this.. X
This was one of the contributors to my love of musical theatre too
When I was little, I remember I really wanted to be a nun because of this scene.
I'm a man, btw.
I can understand how you felt. It is a very powerful scene, and imo the most beautiful song in the movie. I remember being completely stunned by the music as a young child.
Lovely
I don’t know if the convent could accept LGBTQs.
Never get tired of this movie and soundtrack. So profound and true
Simply a beautiful piece in a wonderful setting. Indeed follow every rainbow till we find our Dream
This song/words means so much more when your older..
Some songs are indeed co-authored by God. This is one of them.
What a stupid thing to say. All the musicians involved in an effort like this worked long hard hours to achieve such a thing. Please give them their credit.
@@thomashecker5503 Even Joseph Handel admitted he believed some parts of The Messiah he wrote was divinely inspired.
That is giving the musicians credit. It is saying that their efforts reveal the infinite in some partial way.
Sometimes you work hard and nothing happens.
Sometimes you work hard and a piece of eternity falls in your lap.
Rodgers and Hammerstein wrote the song.
The best musical scene ever shot to the Cinema and this was also shot in one take.
Just look at the awe in Julie Andrews face.
Agreed!!!!!
This song became my life motivation. Its just when I get older I begin to understand the lyrics more.
My mom truly loved this movie and she showed me again and again while I barely understood cuz I was too small to understand the stuff of life.
And like after 20 years have passed, as a 23-year-old girl, I cried to this. My life would never go as planned and i’m crying all these days but this song makes me feel like i got a compass in my heart. Thank you Peggy.
Sending you hugs, have been in your shoes at 23 when life seemed to fall down around me too. Had had the sound of music since the age of 5. Now, at 29 nearly 30, I can promise you there is hope and life's challenges do change. You will be OK. :) xx
This was my favorite movie as a child and it subliminally set the tone for my life.
I had a similar realization about Gone with the Wind, Inn of the the Sixth Happiness and Fiddler on the Roof. They each had an enormous formative influence on me.
Powerful!!
Same here. I now DO climb every mountain and never give up
Today is my mother's birthday. This was her favourite song. It was played at her funeral as well. This song is the lesson she taught me. Always chase for your better self and the goals you want to achieve, and she always gave the right example. I have tears in my eyes right now, but also feel grateful for having had MY mother. May she rest in peace (and I am sure, she watched me listening to this song and was smiling)...
My mom wanted me to sing this at her memorial. it is more than a month away, it will be hard not to cry.
The singer's voice literally climbs that mountain in a most beautiful way!
I fought and beat bowel cancer with this song in my Arsenal my mum my dad and my sister all lost their battles stay positive always x x
It was a beautiful and unique film, to be remembered forever! ❤
I have seen The Sound of Music over 50 times. This song never ceases to grab my heart and choke me up. I never get tired of seeing the movie or listening to the wonderful score by Rogers and Hammerstein.
Amen. We never get tired of it because it's true.
I’ve seen it 10 times
I have seen it multiple times and loving it to the FULLEST!! The Sound of Music happens to be my ALL TIME FAVORITE MOVIE of ALL TIME!!!! BRAVO!!!!
My father loved this musical, and so did I. On the way home from my accordion lessons, Dad would put the 8-track tape into the tape player in his 1962 Mercury convertible, and we'd sing the entire libretto at the top of our lungs. On days like today (when I miss him badly), this is one of the songs I turn to to remind me of the lessons he taught...I miss you dad.
I can picture in my mind everything you said in your posting (including the '62 Merc convertible)...and I starting tearing up big-time.
This song is one of the greatest romantic love songs ever written. Basically, it says you must follow your heart and go for it! Love the person your heart beats for. Many times, we deny ourselves the chance to experience true love out of fear of disappointing God, our loved ones, our church, etc. But, in this scene, the older nun is telling Maria that "you have to live the life you were born to live," which means that you must fight for your love, and that God wants you to fulfill your destiny of being with your soul mate, whether you are straight or gay (or whatever).
I agree and was following your comment until you mentioned the gay part. Jesus never contradicts himself, and I don't think God made mistakes. God loves everyone, but when you claim that you think you're an opposite gender when you're not. You are basically calling God a liar, and he doesn't know what he was doing...
No, it means do God’s will. Your heart can lead you astray.
@@islanderws homophobe
The song had absolutely nothing to do with sexuality🤦🏾♀️.
It amazes me how you people only hear what you want to hear. The song has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with sexuality. It doesn’t mean “ignore God and follow your wishes” either.
It literally is about following God’s will and not what you think that will is. So, no, this song doesn’t apply to gay-nonmonogamous people like I’ve read a couple time, cause that’s against God’s law. If you use your sexuality for your pleasure only and not to love and give life, then you’re sinning. And sinning is most definitely NOT God’s will. Stop misinterpreting this song for God’s sake!
Best motivational song ever
I'm 64 in early 2021. I saw this motion picture in 1965 on a school field trip.
No movie scene has ever moved me as much as this one. None. Never. To this day.
I was 21 when Peggy Wood passed away. It affected me tremendously.
100%. Nothing cokes close to this. Deeply powerful. Awe inspiring.
Same here.
What an absolute genius Richard Rodgers was. The bridge between the verses has a downwards scale that goes down almost an octave but the key shifts up a semitone. One of the best songs of all time.
All these decades later, Peggy Wood still gives me chills with her magnificent singing! I have always wondered if Miss Andrews knew then that what she was hearing would become iconic and revered!
Peggy never sang it in the movie, she couldn't reach the descant,(high note) it was sung by Margaret Mckay and dubbed on to the sound track. In this clip Peggy is lipsyncing it although brilliantly.😍
This song always chokes me up, every time.
I was sat in the cinema with my beloved mum watching this film. I can’t hear this song without thinking of her.
Magnificent song and excellent cinematography.
Still one of my favorite scenes from this movie absolutely love it 😊
My all time favourite song of encouragement because the meaning partly for me is that by following up and digging into in great depth the everyday events and meetings of life I often find in hindsight valuable nuggets to enrich my life . For example to recognise the qualities of a person, or the significance of a place that were not obvious at the time, but later thought and research has revealed something important. Essentially though for me its about FAITH in GOD and the CROSS. I have to work hard by giving at every opportunity that passes me because I often find a hidden gem waiting for me either on the journey to or at the destination. It feels like life becomes so full of joy as I age and discover these nuggets of sustenance more plentiful , which feels like the the love of God and the promise of Salvation. For me we have to give with considered and deserved true love every single day, up hill and over dale, but the only thing that matters in this life is Judgement Day. Salvation and Everlasting Life is what Jesus gave us at Calvary Hill.
Hearing this song on the theater, I think the building shook! Stunning. Wonderful film. Academy Award Best Picture
Eidelweiss and Climb Every Mountain are my favorite songs. When Maria realizes she is in love with the Captain!!😊💗♥️💗😊
One of the greatest songs ever written - so inspiring! Sends goosebumps and an adrenaline rush every time!
It's such a moving part of the film. It always brings tears to my eyes.
Good memories and tears. Would like to comment more but no words when lost the mum and wife of your two boys at 28. Love the music
I’m also 66. This was my mother’s favorite movie. She took my younger sister and I to see it three times the summer it came out.
This also plays at the end when the family escape into Switzerland.
This song brings me to tears every time I hear it, and especially when I see this clip.
Shivers….. that voice is heaven. Angelic and that feeling the tone gives you…….
This song gave me goose bumps then and still does.
I love the heartfelt concern from the Reverend Mother when Maria said she was frightened
Just of Christopher Plummer's passing. Thought of all these songs. RIP Mr. Plummer
Rogers and Hammerstein are incomparable. I saw this movie when it first came out back in the sixties and there's been nothing like it since. The music and lyrics are truly incredible.
I’ve been a fan of them since Cinderella
Just Heavenly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BEST MOVIE EVER!!!!!!!!!!
Sound of Music has to be one of the best movie ever produced. Ahead of it's time.
Yeah best movie ever
This song is so relevant to my life except I am not a nun. Been watching it so many times.
One of my favorite movies.
God bless.
I love this movie. I could watch it over and over. Reverent Mother had some good advice. A very wise woman. And she sang this song beautiful.
I remember in 2012 I was always watching The Sound of Music and singing the songs while the other kids were jumping around to pop songs. I always used to feel left out for not liking the same things as the other kids do. 8 years later, I'm in high-school. Now I think that all of the other teens at my school are the ones truly missing out.
When I was growing up (back in the '60s) I had a similar experience. My Dad was an audiophile, and we were the first in our neighborhood to have a 4-track car-stereo in our station-wagon. He recorded his own tapes, with 40's popular and classical music: Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Carmen Dragon, Glenn Gould, Leonard Bernstein, as well as the great movie soundtracks. Whenever we went on camping trips, thats all we listened to. I loved it!
Then the Beatles came along, and guess what? Their stuff was great too! (Although my parents didn't quite get it !;) In fact, the musical revolution that started in the early '50s (triggered by the invention of the electric guitar) was one of the greatest in the history of western civilization. And it went on for the next 30-40 years, only to start petering out in the mid 1980s.
Of course this is just my opinion, but the stuff that passes for 'pop music' these days is really pathetic -- utterly lacking in originality, and polluted by technologies like auto-tune. There are some great movie soundtrack composers around now, Morricone, Hans Zimmer, Mark Isham, among others (Georges Delerue). But for all intents, 'Pop Music' as it was originally defined, barely exists anymore.
The good news? If you want to find an abundance of buried musical treasures, there is no better place to start digging than RUclips. Start with Al Jolson, Glenn Miller, 'Hooked on Swing', 'Boogie-Woogie', Louis Armstrong, Judy Garland, Ella Fitzgerald, Count Basie, Andrews Sisters, Bobby Darin, Ray Charles, Buddy Holly, Elvis, Beatles, Beach Boys (Surf Rock), Country Western, Arlo Guthrie (much better than his old man), Hollies, Dave Clark Five, Pretenders, Seekers, Springsteen, Sting, Carole King, Righteous Brothers, James Taylor, Simon & Garfunkle, Billy Joel, Fleetwood Mac, Eagles, Dire Straits, Jackson Browne...I could go on...and on !;)
And classical as well: Borodin, Tchaikovsky, Ravel, Gershwin, Wagner, Smetana, Saint Saens, Rachmaninoff, Beethoven, Bach, Brahms, Enya, Moby, Mormon Tabernacle Choir -- which has been transformed by their genius music director, Mack Wilberg. Here's another interesting niche: Scottish Royal Dragoon Guards -- exhilarating beautiful music and lyrical content! Check out Vera Lynn (who just turned 103 two weeks ago), and who's songs defined popular music during WWII. And where did all this stuff originate? Almost entirely an invention of Western Civilization, without peer in any other culture on the planet. And thanks to yet another invention of Western-Civ (the Internet), successive generations who are so inclined, have but to login and look to enjoy it.
@@tbthomas5117 Wow, thank you for this! I agree with you, most pop artist think that autotune is an instrument. 😂 I grew up with classical music too, my parents never liked the mainstream music so I have a bunch of CD's by some of the artists that you've mentioned too. My CD-player is also pretty old and it has a option to play tapes as well, so I always listen to things my mum recorded back from back in the 80's.
One of my biggest fears is that classical music/any older genre's will become completely "extinct" or it won't be available anymore due to new music. There are thousands of people who are now trying to get into the music industry with their pop music because it's the mainstream and they want to make money this way. Luckily you still get the neo-classical music and music by Hans Zimmer that you've mentioned. I like to call these "movie-music".
I just find it pretty upsetting that most teenagers who still listen to these will be considered as losers or attention seekers for not liking the same as the majority of other people.
I will definitely listen to the music you have mentioned in your comment. Once again thank you for your effort!
@@ekisjani If you haven't already, Do check out Hans Zimmer's live performance art, and interviews where he discusses that, and a variety of perspectives on 'modern classical' music. He has some very interesting things to say about the role of 'conductors' in the modern genre.
You've probably already seen these, but if not, here's a starting point:
ruclips.net/video/FkmWxOfsPuE/видео.html
I've watched this extraordinary BBC documentary several times:
Howard Goodalls Story of Music 1 of 6: The Age of Discovery
ruclips.net/video/I0Y6NPahlDE/видео.html
Of course I recommend watching all six episodes. Until I saw this, I did not realize that 'Western Music' was (and continues to be) an actual 'invention', unique in its construction, and shaped by the rapidly evolving Western culture and technology following the collapse of the Roman Empire.
Re: Soundtracks...
Years ago (2004), I had just watched an American Experience documentary of the story of Seabiscuit, which included newsreel footage of the original Seabiscuit vs. War Admiral match race, at the Pimlico race-track in November of 1939. The documentary was terrific, but somehow I felt the 2-minute segment showing the real-world 'greatest upset in horse-racing history' deserved a little more exciting audio to back it up.
One day I was at my office working on a weekend, listening to a 'Great Soundtracks' CD I had made, and a clip from the movie 'The Untouchables' came up. It was one of those 'Eureka Moments', and I knew I had found the perfect audio track for the Seabiscuit match race. I spent a few hours cobbling together a video using the Microsoft video editor for my personal collection. Purely due to dumb-luck, I was able to cut about 10-seconds out of the Untouchables audio, and drop the rest into the American Experience video footage, only to discover that the music matched the video of the race perfectly, stride-for-stride, start-to-finish-line.
A few years later, I read a news story that Google had bought a thing called 'youtube.com' for $1.5-billion (I had never heard of it at the time). I checked it out, and figured it was the perfect venue for my Seabiscuit video. Still the best I ever made, and I am quite certain, the best film-treatment of the actual race to be found anywhere. (As I'm sure the 13,252 viewers who have seen it would agree !;)

I remember this song when I was very
young, seeing Sound of Music for the
1stx It's my favorite song
"You have to live the life you were born to live."
"A dream that will need all the love you can give, everyday of your life for as long as you live"
Best lines! 💖
This song gets me every time. A few years ago my mum and I were visiting my Nannie and we were talking about music. She told my mum that she wanted this song played at her funeral. She passed away a year or so later and I went to her funeral with my parents and my little brother. I was really sad so my dad took me to the kitchen in the funeral home and made me a sandwich. I was finally starting to calm down when they played this song. I was a mess all over again. It was truthfully the saddest day of my life and I’m sorry for spilling all of this to the Internet. I’ve never really talked about it to anyone I guess so I’m dumping it all here. I miss you so much Nannie❤️
I really unloaded all that in the comments??? I don’t even remember writing that eyvwhwjsbwje
I have seen this movie over 50 times. I never tire of it, especially when I hear this beautiful song.
I've seen it no more than 10 times, and I'm older than Methusela !;) I never tire of the soundtrack. My only gripe with the film (and I know its really no big deal)... Can you imagine what really would have happened to the Nuns at that convent for pulling the distributor caps out of the Nazi's pursuit vehicles? And who taught them how to do that anyway???
Thank you for your comment. Just for the record, this is a (proudly) non-monetized YT site.
@@tbthomas5117 nuns I've heard had to fix alot of things to keep things running
So why couldn't they know how to stop things from running ?
Plus
Its not like they never experienced anything before being nuns
Maybe they worked on family farm
This song puts me In tears everytime ..
Richard Rodgers was an absolute genius. The bridge between verses when the incomplete downward scale leads to a key shift up a semitone is absolutely sublime.
I cried all the way through omg wow
Since I was little I liked this scene the most. Although I didn't understand the lyrics at that time, I still felt the motherly energy that guide us kindly and strongly. Yesterday when I watched it again after more than 20 years and I finally understood the lyrics fully, I couldn't stop crying. What an absolutely beautiful scene.
I cry every time I hear this.
This always gives me goosebumps.
Gorgeous example of a mezzo soprano. Lovely voice.
Evil Monkey Beautiful range
incredible voice shes got more talent in one vocal chord than I have in both.
Though the actress playing the scene, Peggy Wood, was dubbed by Margery McKay. Dubbing was very common in musicals and in fact Marni Nixon (who played one of the nuns) was frequently engaged to dub the voices in numerous film musicals, though never credited at the time (even on the cast albums). I must say Les Miserables, the film of the musical, would have benefited if Russell Crowe had been dubbed!
@@williamgardiner2010 I know right! Russell Crowe's singing was not good 😭
@@williamgardiner2010 ...though perhaps not by Marni Nixon....
........timeless...a song that has become a classic to many generations and more to come....
One of the most glorious words in the English language!
Very inspirational for us all .so said my mother and father .they were so right .
This has to be one of my favorite scenes, if not my favorite scene from this movie! ❤️ Ever since I saw the movie, this song always holds a special place in my heart for many different reasons and I love singing this song but ofc the reverend mother sings it better lol. Anyways the reason that I love this song is because this is the part where I feel like Maria really finds herself and realizes that she has to live the life she was born to live, just like the song says 😊
One of the most inspirational, hopeful songs. One of my favorites for sure.
These walls where not built to shut out problems you have to face them you have to live life the way you where born to live this song has taught me so much and about dreams and waiting for something good to come along I think if it wasn't for the sound of music I wouldn't be me 😀 this movie was a blessing thanks to my grandmother.
The other song that is along the same line as Climb Every Mountain is You'll Never Walk Alone...( Carousel)
Katie Williams Me too! 🙂
I can't wait to be a mother and show this to my grandkids!
Resonates with me especially during the Covid 19 restrictions.
I totally understand Kate. Thank you for your advice 🙏🙌👸
I always listen to this song when I’m feeling low. It lifts my spirits and allows my soul to sing again
this lady just opens her mouth and i start crying, what an amazing scene in the most amazing movie
100%. Nothing else comes close for me. Deeply powerful.
I loved Julie Andrews and Christopher plumber ❤❤❤
