This was my Mom's favorite song, she had it on a 45 record. She used to play it on Saturdays when we were cleaning the house. Sometimes she would listen to it over and over. This song describes my Mom's life. Especially when it came out in 1975. She was always in such turmoil. My father did not make her life easy. Mom passed away in August of 2023. This song still haunts me when I hear it. 😔♥♥♥
A typical 1970s Masterpiece.....loved this as a nine year old in 1975....i am nearly 58 now.....and this brings a tear to my eye......so proud of being a 70s child........
In January of 1975, my dear Father took a train from Ft. Lauderdale to Gainesville in Florida just to visit me. I was in graduate school at the University of Florida. On a very cold night I was invited to a party after the Art Opening of a great friend and mentor of mine twenty years my senior. A roaring fire leant two kinds of warmth to an atmosphere of caring folks. This song was on repeat, adding another perfect layer to this feeling of affection that embraced us all. My Father would pass away eighteen years later, but he often spoke of that evening. He was a very sentimental man. His wife of 24 years, my mother, had died of breast cancer at age 43 in 1969. Although he never spoke about it, I am certain it brought memories of her to him. She too was a beautiful vocalist, one that Big Bands that came through the WWII industrial town of Bridgeport, Connecticut where they and I were born, were so impressed, some tried to lure her to come on tour with them. But she had met my Dad by that time, and turned down those chances to raise five children. I know he along with me was very happy he made that trip.
My adult children and a niece know all this great music! Played it all the time in the background , instead of television. Every now and again my niece will surprise me with a song as her mom and I never played the same music!
I first saw and heard Judy around 1963 when I was 14 years-old. She and Tom Paxton I think it was, were making their rounds on Cape Cod, (and Massachusetts) at that time. They put on a nice little show at the old National Guard Armory, (which is now a court house) on Jones Road in Falmouth, Ma. Judy was absolutely fabulous that night! I can still see her on that little stage wearing a white dress and high heels. She had the most beautiful, big blue eyes I have ever witnessed. I've been a huge fan of hers all these years and my favorite song sung by her is, "Both Sides Now".
I was assaigned in Germany from 1973 through 1976 when I first heard this beautiful piece of music,and still love it today. I listen just for the memories.
Beautifully said, yes I completely agree with you . Strange thing is though the “ something beautiful “ for me almost always happens to something of the emotional value. Like doing a kind gesture but no one notices. Either way, a beautiful song . Thanks for sharing your thoughts on it .
The death of Sondheim brought me here. It's a deeply beautiful arrangement and vocal. I know it was for the Muppets (my deep love) - but I wish that they had used the clowns differently. It could have been very beautiful if they had used the clowns more delicately - blurred perhaps and certainly slower.
This is one of those songs that inspired absolutely no mediocre feelings about : one either absolutely despised it, . . . or one absolutely cherished it ! My first partner was among the former group. Count me in the latter.
This particular clip, though you’d never know it by seeing it like this, is taken from Judy Collins’ wonderful guest appearance on the original late 70’s The Muppet Show. So those clowns are technically Muppets! An odd design choice but somehow it just...works.
Toss up for sure. But I'll say Frank, well because it's Frank!!, arguably the greatest singer/entertainer of the 20th century!!❤ Both are breathtakingly beautiful..and Judy sounds like what angels would sound like singing!
Usually I am quick to be able to understand the Lyrics of Most songs ! But this one ; as much as I Like the tune I try and try to understand its meanings Is there someone That can put me in the picture ??
The man she is singing to, was always pursuing her professing his love, but she was never interested, when she finally realizes she loves him she goes to tell him, but now he has found someone else and she realizes it's too late- she missed her chance for someone that truly loved her
It's referencing the idea of how, in the circus, when someone dies or a huge accident happens (trapeze artist falls and breaks their leg, for example), they send in the clowns to distract the audience while they clean up
I believe the interpretation of this song is rather distorted. Does the song really mean, "clowns" as such? It's a metaphor and this version showing clowns is very literal in its meaning. In fact, it cheapened the song. I'm sure the author or lyricist and composer are giggling, if not smirking, for the rather literal interpretation. Just saying.
@@rodneyfrost1674 Wow, you people are really pathetic. With all due respect, it is not just a matter of your aesthetic predilections. We each of course have our own and it varies from person to person. Rather it is quite concerning with regards to understanding what you are looking at and your interpretative capacity. It is actually quite perfect, that is complimentary. It has to do with ineffably deep and voiceless hurt, sarcasm and parody.

Such a shame that only 1000 you tube folk have had the benefit of listening to this awesome classical piece of music and theatre - truly wonderful
This is hardly the only venue that presented this beautiful song. Keep the faith!

Her voice is so delicate, pure and without any artefact.
Judy Collin’s has such a beautiful voice and this was a spectacular performance all around🤩
When I was a kid. About six or seven, I thought it was a most beautiful song I ever heard
Ahh miss Judy Collins my favorite love her earthy tone❤
This song makes me cry. Makes me think of my mama
I agree me too
My adult children and a niece know all this great music! Played it all the time in the background , instead of television. Every now and again my niece will surprise me with a song as her mom and I never played the same music!
What an absolutely beautiful voice this lady has . I've seen her twice at Leicester Sq Theatre ,she was wonderful!
I love this song so much, it was my fathers favorite song till he died...A beautiful, amazing song ❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Masterpiece song Judy is now age 85.
Such an amazing voice, So sweet and gentle.She takes you on an emotional journey through the lyrics, Thank you Judy. Truly amazing singer x

One of those most beautiful songs where most would need an even stronger adjective to describe...
Lovely, sad, resolution in song. Her voice is a good medicine for the heart.
The best presentation of the song of all the others. Miss Collins "aced" it.
Hadn't heard this song for sometime have to say it brought a tear to my eye such a beautiful song which reminded me of a better time. Beautiful
I was assaigned in Germany from 1973 through 1976 when I first heard this beautiful piece of music,and still love it today. I listen just for the memories.
American war machine invades everyone.
Evil invaders.
We all know what she can do,anyway Judy is one of my favourite artists of all times,she is too good to be true, love her very much
What a voice and song. Thanks Judy!!!!
The best and most beautiful version of melody I've heard. Love the clowns! Cleverly done.
Whenever I hear this song, I think of something beautiful, but unappreciated.
Unappreciated? This is Collin’s most ever purchased song
@@travelfreak2 I wasn't talking about the song--only its content. I love the song!

Either way, a beautiful song .
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on it .
Every piece of this song and it's music is so deeply send a very emotional feeling .Difficult to describe but my tears telling it.
The definitive version of this song.
I adore this song it’s just so mesmerising and atmospheric not to mention beautiful.
This is incredibly sad.....it used to bring tears to my eyes!
I love this song. Haven’t heard it for a long time.
I love send in the clowns by Judy Collins, its a beautiful classic melody!!! 🥹🤧👍
Love this so much so pure a voice ❤
I would have loved to see the king to this song. Rest in peace Lisa Marie. Good night Graceland. TX
I think this is the very best rendering of a Stephen Sondhiem song I have ever heard. ❤️

We must laugh occasionally to avoid the tears.
One of the greatest songs of all time.

Wow... I'm speechless!
this song has got to be about a love...a strong and endearing love...a forgiving love..that maybe is coming to an end
Fantastic
Very very beautiful 💖💃

Interpretação maravilhosa e um arranjo lindo e inspirador. Minha grande admiração.
This is one of those songs that inspired absolutely no mediocre feelings about : one either absolutely despised it, . . . or one absolutely cherished it !
My first partner was among the former group. Count me in the latter.
I wish someone,,,,,,would send in the clowns.
that girl can sing even at 83 years old
I think she sings it even better now!
czcams.com/video/_W3v2RC8PcY/video.html
If she can sing that beautifully at 83 she must an angel.
super
Sad song 😢
Listen to Send in the Clowns and think of Robin Williams. You will get it .
Awesome
You've got to understand imagery and symbolism to better appreciate this incredibly beautiful song.
When I realized where the title phrase originated it physically hurt.
A Sad Song especially that Saigon fell that Year 1975
Bueatiful

Yep, remember watching it
Love this. Now who was best, Frank, or Judy? I just can't call it.
Toss up for sure. But I'll say Frank, well because it's Frank!!, arguably the greatest singer/entertainer of the 20th century!!❤ Both are breathtakingly beautiful..and Judy sounds like what angels would sound like singing!
This song seems to be about broken love. Or you arrived and it wasn't there.
Genius
Belíssima interpretação 👏👏👏
This is from the muppet show… that’s why there’s those weird clowns in the background
According to the NY Gov, this is us Trumper's theme song! And we're PROUD of it, thank you!
Though this should be BIDEN'S theme!!
This is The Muppet Show version of this song, in case anyone wanted to know!!
It's not the Muppet show version, she just happened to sing it on the show, don't demean a beautiful song
I feel the same way I lost my mom to
Anybody know if this video is available without the clowns?
Nope ya gotta take the clowns it’s “as is” sorry
Gaak!
There is a song!
I must be stupid doint understand the record
There everywhere 😂😂
Its the UK government. LOL!
Bit literal with the clowns in video: Don't bother they're here: (meaning we are the fools)

Having those clowns in the background was a terrible idea - annoyingly distracting.
Yes the song is actually not even about clowns, So serious and poignant.
