  • Liz Callaway sings "Meadowlark" from The Baker's Wife in her car. #AutoTunes
    From Liz: This is one of my all-time favorite songs to sing! I first sang it as a singing waitress when I moved to NYC, and will NEVER stop singing it. Meadowlark is not an especially easy song to sing sitting down, but this was a special request for my AutoTunes series. 😄
    You can hear Liz's recordings of Meadowlark on her CDs "The Essential Liz Callaway", "The Story Goes On: Off and Off Broadway" and "Sibling Revelry".
    MEADOWLARK
    Music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz
    From the musical The Baker's Wife
    Arrangement and piano track by Alex Rybeck

    Your voice is an absolute gift to musical theatre and this universe. Your rendition of this song is part of what shaped my singing into what it is today. No one captures the grace, beauty, and wonder of “Meadowlark” like you do. The fact that you can sing this in the car so casually with exquisite perfection, emotion, and technique blows my mind.
    Thank you for doing this.

      I remember how excited I was when you released “The Story goes On” and recorded Meadowlark; up until that point I had only heard Sarah Brightman’s version. Keep the video’s coming since your show in Chicago has been postponed twice.

    It’s actually rare for an artist to own a song. Others may sing the song, but they are only renters. Judy Garland owns “Over the Rainbow,” Tony Bennett owns “I Left My Heart in San Francisco,” and Liz Callaway owns “Meadowlark.”

Thank you so much for being here on this Earth and sharing your gift.

    I already adored your stage version of this song and proclaimed it my favorite performance of this song all time. I love this version too. It’s so organic and artistic, especially with the sunlight streaming through the tree. It enhances the lyrics you are singing. I also love you have a car concert like the rest of us. 😍

    Beautiful! I've probably listened to you sing this song about 80 times in my life and that is not an exaggeration. My friends and I even had a listening competition to different versions and of course yours was the easy winner. Thanks for always sharing your wonderful gift with all of us. Be well and take care.

    Okay, now that's just RUDE! lol. The focus. Amazing. And also, it's super atmospheric and I love it. I totally believe that you're fleeing in your car to go start your new life! I performed this recently for the first time and I had to listen to your version 500 million times in order to burn the EXACT correct pitch on those held out notes into my brain because every other singer swoops up to them or attacks head-on but is flat and has to flounder around for a couple beats until they find it and it drives me crazy! So, thank you! I think I mostly achieved it. Haha.

    My Dear Ms. Liz, Your Carnegie Hall performance seven-plus years ago of this wonderful gem with the amazing orchestration was the very first rendition of this song I had ever heard. I was so floored and moved by your poignant performance right there and then that I have listened to it countless times. And here you are, years later, sounding just as amazingly gorgeous as you did then, even without the symphony backing you up. And in your car, no less. Since first hearing your live performance, i have listened (mostly tonight) to a multitude of other singers, both pro and amateur, young and old, most of them very talented, sing this piece and NONE, and I mean NONE have touched me to my very core the way you have, no matter how well they sang.
    Back in the 90s when I was signing with the NYCGMC you and your sister, Ann, were our guests at one of our Christmas concerts, and I'll never forget it, especially when the two of you performed the number "Sisters" from the film "White Christmas." It was the highlight of my holiday season that year. Your voice is heaven sent, and is a blessing to humanity. May God bless you, and may you continue to bless us with your wonderful gift. Thank you so much for touching my heart and soul every time I listen to you sing.

    • @LizCallaway

    Wow !!!! So beautiful and you seem to sing it so effortlessly -- yet it is obviously is not an easy song to sing. I love these driving videos !!!!! Thank you So Much Liz !!!! I cannot Wait to see you perform --- when this craziness is over--- out here --- in LA . I have been a Huge Huge fan of Jane Olivor for the past 30 years. Can't put my finger on it but her voice just always moves me, gives me goose bumps and makes me feel and think. I just love her and I love that many people don't know who she is ( she's retired notw). I am finding very similar feelings listening to your tremendous gift. You are, in a word, amazing. Thank you.

    Stop. Don't perform and drive. There is nothing more that I would like to see than you sing this song, but not with the driving. I worry. The Meadowlark might distract you from a stop sign or a yield.
