One of my favorite movie moments. In an interview, Meryl said this was the last scene they filmed, and they had the wrap party right after. What a great time that must’ve been. She says she wanted to be an opera singer, and took lessons toward that when she was young. Hard to believe that just because she doesn’t have the pipes for opera, she thinks her voice isn’t good enough for her to do recordings, etc. So unfortunate. Wish the clip included the whole performance.
She is very talented, and she did this song for the movie and shit she can sing a country song ! I always remember seeing the movie on TV then this scene near the end where she sings, well I sort of sat dumbfounded at how good she sounded , they got her exactly right for the range and when she had to hit higher they had that worked out too. It was a great bit of movie making and a talented actress who in fact is not really a singer , but they got her right this time.I always go back and have a listen.
Be careful guys, she's the love of my life. in my dreams, she'd be singing this song to me nightly! 💕 Let's not forget to give credit where credit is due, Shel Silverstein (from the "Dr Hook and the medicine show" fame was the one who wrote this fine song! 👍😇
@@DippyHippie I'm so sorry that they excluded you from enjoying it, that's really terrible & it's such a wonderful song, however you can read the lyrics she's singing by going to Google and typing in the search bar "What are the lyrics to the song I'm Checking out", by Shel Silverstein. That should pull up the lyrics for you to read.. If I were you, I'd get in touch with the producers of the movie & complain that there's no CC, when they see they're missing fans & potential customers they may get on the ball & hopefully change their packaging to include it on all their videos and movies! You write a petition & I'll be glad to sign it with you! Best of luck my friend. 😀 If I can help you with anything, write me a note & I'll do my best.👍
I love this movie! I loved it before I even started to watch it. The reason being Shirley MacLaine was In it.❤ She is my favorite actress. There isn't a role that woman can't play and boy is she good in her career. What an artist. What an inspiration. What a woman!! 👠
I absolutely love this movie and Meryl's performance! I've owned this movie since it came out on VHS AND DVD. Love, love, love this song, too! I'm reminded of this quote: 'Recovery didn't open up the gates of Heaven to let me in, it opened up the gates of hell to let me out.' Source Unknown RIP Carrie Fisher!
Pull back them dark and dusty drapes, And let in some light. Tell the bell-boy come and get my trunk 'Cause I'm leavin' here tonight. I packed my bags and paid my bill, And I'm turnin' in my key. And if those sad souls down in the lobby ask for me, Just tell'em I'm checkin' out of the heartbreak hotel. I ain't gonna live on lonely street no more (no more). I've found a new love and a new place to dwell Where teardrops ain't soakin' the floor. So, take down my suitcase and hand me my hat. I'm goin' from sleazy to swell. Give that desk-clerk a dime. And you can just tell him that I'm Checkin' out of the heartbreak hotel. Well, you can give that sad bellboy My old blues guitar, 'Cause I'm only gonna sing them sweet songs From now on, yeah. And you can tell that old bartender He might as well close down the bar, Cause "Chug-a-Luggin' Sally's" (Charley's) packed an' gone. Through that gray windowpane, It always looked like rain, But there's sunshine outside I can tell. So open up that door, I've leavin' An' I won't be back no more. I'm checkin' out of the heartbreak hotel. Checkin' out of this heartbreak hotel.
She is an amazing talent! A few years ago she did a movie called Rikki and the Flash. She sings Rock and Roll while playing rhythm guitar. Very raw performance from her in that she loses herself in the character. Great movie. Rick Springfield is her boyfriend and lead guitarist in the movie.

The backstory of this is a Carrie Fisher video, which is somewhere on CZcams. Debbie Reynolds wanted Carrie to sing because she had a great voice. But Carrie didn't want to go that way.
The last part of I'm checking out was left off. Too bad because it was the best part of the song. Watch Post Cards from the Edge. She is excellent with singing as well as acting.
Frank, years ago I saw Postcards From the Edge based on Carrie Fischer's book of the same title. I found this video on here...they have several vids taken from the movie. I played this video probably 10 tines! Then CZcams took it down saying it was not allowed. Copyright problems they said. All the other scenes were left up! Then it was put back up...the whole thing. Great! Then they took it down again! Now I see it's back up but they cut the fantastic ending!?! Why? If it's a copyright thing, how are all the other scenes left up?
May I just say, I HATE MISLABELED VIDEOS!?!? I've been checking out all the videos of this song and they ALL cut off the ending of Meryl singing this song. So, when I saw the title of this video I was thinking, OK, finally the full song. But alas, it's NOT. Damn. Just damn. The full song used to be on CZcams...I had it bookmarked and watched it many, many times!
Have you watched the movie this song came from. It’s called “Postcards from the Edge. If you watch the movie you will see that they cut away and show you the background. People like Gene Hackman and Shirley McLaine. If you listen you will hear the song continues and then they cut back to Meryl Streep as she finishes the song.
Howzyer Bippy It’s not greedy. It’s their intellectual property which is covered by the law, they have the right to take down the videos anytime someone reposts it without their consent
@@suebenson2391 ...yes I know, I've seen the movie several times. But in this scene in the movie she keeps on singing after the cut. She sings all thru the credits at the end of the movie. The ending in this video is NOT how it ends.
Excusez-moi madame mais je croire que vous n'être pas vraiment "Meryl Streep", il a du y avoire malentendu je ne comprends pas ? Puisse-vous me contacter en message privé ? Merci de vos intentions (Jamel est très énervé au fait)
What on earth are you talking about?? I don't like her politics but love her movies. I would never say all the things you said....unless they are true . Are they?

Says whole thing but is not. Best part yet to come. 10/25/23

I want this video played at my funeral.
Ken Campbell me too
Me too
Brilliant idea . . . me too!
I know I'm kinda randomly asking but does anyone know of a good site to watch new tv shows online ?
@Emiliano Bryson Lately I have been using Flixzone. You can find it by googling =)
Meryl is just an overall great entertainer, and we don't see too many of those these days!!
Im listening to this every day since I watched the movie hahaha
Is there anything this woman CAN'T do?
abe abadi czcams.com/video/9XggCRf1-Jk/video.html
She’s hopeless.
abe abadi ikr!
Pee standing up. That's about it.
Her own hair, @abe, she said so herself in a certain interview
Of course. She can't be bad :D
I have literally been looking for a video of this scene and Meryl singing for years! I'm so happy I came across this.
This is like a ragtime,blues,jazz song,I love it!xxxo
I absolutely love this movie and Meryl's performance! I've owned this movie since it came out on VHS AND DVD. Love, love, love this song, too!

l shrieked with delight the first time l heard this. l had no idea she could sing. Boy, did she show me just how well she could!
Magnificent version. Streep has a great set of lungs and knows exactly how to WOW.

😊💜💖👍👍👏👏
Just exactly how I feel right about now
Who knew she could sing as well as act!

Then it was put back up...the whole thing. Great! Then they took it down again! Now I see it's back up but they cut the fantastic ending!?!
Why?
If it's a copyright thing, how are all the other scenes left up?
Set to music from the great words of poet, writer Shel Silverstein.
I do like the way Meryl Streep sings “Heartbreak Hotel”
💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💋SZUPER DRÁGA
The very best psrt, the end, is left off!
Thank the Lord for Meryl Streep
I want to SING THIS At MY 😊 Funeral!!💖🥳🥳
WOW!!!!
Hollywood Graveyards brought me here.
I like the part at 1.12.. from when the dude in the movie said "it's not as though you farted all over your dialogue."
Hitrejša verzija je GIGA !
She’s pretty good 👍
3:19-3:28 shocked me! I knew Meryl could carry a note but I didn’t she could SANG!
mantab jiwa,,, like
She turned in her key 🔑 checking ouT.
I knew Meryl could sing but I had no idea she still had chops. I suspect she could've had an empire like Reba.
I Love you
OMG OMG OMFG
I wish more country singers would be as casual and low key as this. It's all so over-produced these days.
最高だわ!!!

Nope lolo love her

How progressive
Sing this in the shower and tell me you don’t feel bettter
No cc😢
I see you you, Glue Rodeo.
Omg! There's 1 black man in the clip!

Nonpareil.
I gave it a thumbs down cause the volumn was too low.
Red Wilson aren’t you the man?
ugh Harvey was right...she is horrible and a demon plus, Meryl Streep - "Lions for Lambs" (2007) worst movie ever made
