It's a beautiful beautiful song & it's been done brilliantly by a few, but as great as they were, for me, Bonnie's voice brings even more to it. She touches your soul even deeper.
I never really admired Bonnie Raitt's vocals until now. What an amazing emotional delivery of this song. A gorgeous song by a master musician and songwriter and he handpicked a great singer to deliver it.
And this is an amazing album. I got Randy to autograph mine at a ToyStory signing. He seemed glad to talk about it. The celebs he picked to do this album were perfect choices.
I woke up this a.m. with this song in my head. It's been there all day, so I had to listen to it, sung by Randy, and then Bonnie. My very favorite RN song.
I was just thinking how beautiful this song would be for a wedding. Thank you for sharing...acrtually, the movie Michael brought me here...what a feel good movie!❤
Thanks all around starting with Mr Newman and Ms Raitt, Ms O'Donnell, bdtb and the copyright gods who let this stay on the web. This performance surely helps our planet ring like a bell
I only recently discovered this song on a cd by Diana Krall. Randy Newman is like John Prine. Every time you think you have already heard all the good sons you discover another. Both are great American songwriters
I used to listen to this song and long to feel like I had come home, and it hurt so badly...now I've met someone and I play this song because I now know how it feels to come home - every word of this resonates with me and it fills me with joy instead of sadness. It's a truly wonderful song, performed by 2 amazing people. And I'm just sickeningly loved up!!
Probably the possession I value most highly: Randy Newman autographed the sheet music of this for me. It's hanging at the entryway. There's countless love songs, but Randy said all that ever needs to be said in under four minutes.
Thank you for posting this. I've been hoping someone would post Bonnie's version on here. Fantastic that you found the one with the song's composer in it. Randy Newman's best song ever, IMO.
A certain someone asked me to listen to this , And it sure was a very good thing, How well she answered all the questions I have been waiting to hear !!! LOL
Absolutely wonderful. Bonnies plaintive, soul searching voice lends itself to the song like no other. What a superb no effort, natural singer. Please take note todays Hippo mouthed, sweaty, screaming, full throttle, crotch thrusting, banshees, this is how to sing.
This song especially Bonnie’s version, is one I first heard many years ago on Terry Wigan’s morning radio show. He obviously loved it and I can understand why, as it has such emotionally haunting lyrics and a beautiful melody.
Hi, Octarin Dragon, How funny. Same situation here. I pulled this song up (and yes, Kurt up there, I don't care for the way they skip the 2nd verse either, but it was probably due to time constraints) because I realized, whoa, that, like, sums up the way I feel about my guy! And you know, in my case, I am SURE he's it and every word would ring so true, it's just....he's taken, sigh.
Canadian singer Chantal Kreviazuk does the best cover of this song, in my opinion. This one is a very close second. Another version that will blow you away is Linda Ronstadt Dolly Parton Emmylou Harris. That trio is heavenly. Two other Canadians who do a great version of this is Diana Krall with Bryan Adams. Such a great song from a master songwriter, and so many great artists that bring it justice. Just beautiful.
don't forget the plot from Faust. this song is the devil playing a trick on Faust, and its about how these words trick Faust into falling in love. Takes on a whole different feel when you know that?
Yes, that's Randy's caustic wit. He's been my favorite composer/performer for 45 years and I see him whenever I can. Bonnie Raitt's performance on the original recording is remarkable in it's tenderness and the purity of her voice.
@Evian622 agreed. and randy's own version on H&A is amazing for the same reason. such incredible emotion, because of (not despite) randy's unusual singing voice.

Randy Newman is a national treasure. I love his writing. So clever and emotional
Don't know what to say...
It sends me...music sends me home.
One of the finest performances of an incredible song by writer and artist. A perfect song. Don't come along every day....
It's a beautiful beautiful song & it's been done brilliantly by a few, but as great as they were, for me, Bonnie's voice brings even more to it. She touches your soul even deeper.
Agree. My 2nd favorite is Edwina Hayes
When your accompanist is also the composer/pianist called Randy Newman you're already well ahead of the game. So moving.
I never really admired Bonnie Raitt's vocals until now. What an amazing emotional delivery of this song. A gorgeous song by a master musician and songwriter and he handpicked a great singer to deliver it.
Yes
Nancy luca
Brought her in to my life
Her and randy Newman brought my life back to me
What took you so long?
And this is an amazing album. I got Randy to autograph mine at a ToyStory signing. He seemed glad to talk about it.
The celebs he picked to do this album were perfect choices.
Randy is such a genius...longing of Bonnie's voice...Magic
Wicked Smooth! Her voice is so smooth!
songwriter and singer that could REALLY pull your heartstring...Feel Like Home and I Can't Make You Love Me are two of my all time fave
Why aren't there 10 million likes on this?:)). Such pure emotional musical expression. So touching.
Just perfection from where I am sitting, well done all concerned, its a priviledge to listen .
A perfect love song, gorgeously played and sung
Randy's beautiful song, sang by one of the most unique female vocalist, thank you for the gift. I love This version so much.
I woke up this a.m. with this song in my head. It's been there all day, so I had to listen to it, sung by Randy, and then Bonnie. My very favorite RN song.
One of the loveliest keyboard passages on any of his songs
I would love to feel like this about someone...feels like home...wonderful. That's love.
Can he ever write music. Bonnie did this song the artistry and raw emotion it deserves. This is life singing back to us here.

HEARD THIS LAST NIGHT FOR THE FIRST TIME.HAVE PLAYED IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN.WHAT A BEAUTIFUL SONG.BONE DEEP!!

Heavenly. Just Piano and her voice. Who needs a studio.
I used to listen to this song and long to feel like I had come home, and it hurt so badly...now I've met someone and I play this song because I now know how it feels to come home - every word of this resonates with me and it fills me with joy instead of sadness.

I'm so happy for you
This is so beautiful. I'm going to play this at my wedding.
I would sing this to my daughter every night at bed - time.
Julie Manuel read this while listening and started to cry
What a treasured memory she has.
What a song. I couldn’t love anything more than I love this song.
brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it. Thanks Bonnie, Randy! Love you!
So beautiful beyond words🎶❤️🎶
So very beautiful. Thanks for sharing with us.
this song makes me cry..
This is such a beautiful song and sung by one of the best singers, I just love it
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how professionals handle forgetting the form on national television. Bravo and brava!
Love this song!! Can't believe this is the first time I've heard it.. Wow! Bonnie looks like she's longing a guitar.. Awwwww...Lovely!
Justi Siempre
Check out versions by Linda Ronstadt and Chantal Kreviasuk and others on RUclips. It's my favorite ballad
Probably the possession I value most highly: Randy Newman autographed the sheet music of this for me. It's hanging at the entryway. There's countless love songs, but Randy said all that ever needs to be said in under four minutes.
Wow that is incredible
Would love the story of how you came to own such a treasure.
@@eronepstein701 Randy autographed it for me at a satellite radio special performance.
Lucky dog. 😊
She just grabs your heart. Beautiful rendition and one I could listen to all the time.
Amazing performance by two amazing artists. . .chills.
Thanks for posting : )
She's one of the most talented artist in the world today.
I love this song and she does it so well...
I so love this song. Wish I could find a place that feels like home to me. I’m from N.B., Dalhousie NB Canada. 😢😢😢😢😢
Bonnie Raitt's voice is perfect for this song/vice versa. Truly a treat that this performance is available in the public domain.
Man! So beautiful, thanks!
Fantastic, I'm a big fan of both of them.
i so love this song,this is how i want to feel towards my man someday.
I visited a church where this was played as a worship song.
How absolutely lovely
I love this. Makes me reminiscent of someone I loved very much.
Bonnie Raitt has the most rustic, natural and pretty voice. Love her. ^_^
beautiful song. sung with great feeling
Thank you for posting this. I've been hoping someone would post Bonnie's version on here. Fantastic that you found the one with the song's composer in it. Randy Newman's best song ever, IMO.
This is a great Randy Newman song!!
Feels like a warm hearth with snuggle bunnies. Love this version of the song.
Bonnie singing this was also in the movie Michael, 1996. (where John Travolta is the Archangel Michael on Earth)
I think Bonnie was born to sing Randy's songs and Randy was born to write for Bonnie.
A certain someone asked me to listen to this , And it sure was a very good thing, How well she answered all the questions I have been waiting to hear !!! LOL
Wonderful Song!
Extremely Beautiful! “Big Beautiful “♥️✌️
A beautiful, moving, sonnet.
Beautiful melody/lyrics, but it's the fragility in Raitt's voice that touches me.
Two master musicians, no doubt.
Love song! Thanks for posting!
Randy Newman is a great songwriter. Bonnie Raitt is a great singer. What a lovely pairing.
The one great thing Rosie O'Donnell has ever done.
Been trying to buy this record. Drawn a blank!
Two incredible music legends
Not to mention the incredible Randy Newman
Love this song!
beautiful.....
Absolutely wonderful. Bonnies plaintive, soul searching voice lends itself to the song like no other.
What a superb no effort, natural singer.
Please take note todays Hippo mouthed, sweaty, screaming, full throttle, crotch thrusting, banshees, this is how to sing.
Randy, baby, love ya man!
The minute this song begins by anyone good, my body temperature and heart rate rise.
beautiful :)
Gorgeous song!
Amazing
great song
Love it!
i love this song very much,it may be my wedding song someday.
Did you ever get married?
Did you use this song?
I cannot believe 33 idiots gave this thumbs down. What a wonderful performance of a great song.
superb....
What a singer ….
This song especially Bonnie’s version, is one I first heard many years ago on Terry Wigan’s morning radio show. He obviously loved it and I can understand why, as it has such emotionally haunting lyrics and a beautiful melody.
bazmac26 me too, Say what you like about Wogan, he played some great tunes on his radio show.
Just class....
Beautiful
Wonderful !
This song always makes me think of my wife.
Makes me think of your wife too
I love this song. I think it was in Soundtrack of Michael, also.
beautiful.. I so love this more than Chantal's version. :)

Treasure this one
My wedding song...
all the way back where I belong :)
Same Bonnie Rait version also on the movie soundtrack to 'Micahel' with John Travolta. Beautiful song.
Canadian singer Chantal Kreviazuk does the best cover of this song, in my opinion. This one is a very close second.

@sainglain
yes it is. check out the cd
Nice

Yes, that's Randy's caustic wit. He's been my favorite composer/performer for 45 years and I see him whenever I can. Bonnie Raitt's performance on the original recording is remarkable in it's tenderness and the purity of her voice.
the movie" Micheal" is the first time I ever heard this song....
I can't listen to this just once - gets under your skin.
Newman sure can write....Bonnie does it the best, the other versions just don't touch the soul like this one.....
meddykripa you must not have heard Linda Ronstadt then
Neil Diamond also does a stunning version of this, and other Newman masterpieces.
@Evian622 agreed. and randy's own version on H&A is amazing for the same reason. such incredible emotion, because of (not despite) randy's unusual singing voice.
