    Here in 2023.. the feelings and emotions that run through my body and soul can't be put to words listening to this mesmerising performance.. thank you for this.. cant get enough of it.. heard it so many times and will listen to it many hundreds of times more throughout my life.. I'm a man down to the bone and yet it speaks to each one of our soul man, women or otherwise.. love you Annie.. thank you ...

    I cannot listen to this song without it bringing me to tears. It puts into words the emotions of my relationship with my daughter. It's a painfully, beautiful song.

    • @lisacolbert5987
      @lisacolbert5987 Před 6 měsíci

      Yes , this masterpiece speaks to the often gut-wrenching human experience of love in all of it’s forms. None any less powerful than another. Three+ years after my mom passed, what is the biggest thing I want her to know, that I hope and pray that she knows? The words and the way they are expressed here tells it all.

  • @iminthemomentru3003

    A standing ovation before she even walks 10 feet on stage.That's what happens are one of top 5 women singers of all time. ... Her range is almost untouchable!

  • @craig893
    @craig893 Před 7 lety +21

    There are so few artist (truest form of the word) that could deliver this song in the range that she did, the raw emotion that she showed AND dead stop,TWICE, turn to the audience and grin. As if to say, "You're eating this shit up...ain't ya'?! It's not arrogant, or cocky. It's a self-assuradness that's pure and warranted. She's even a little embarassed when she got the standing ovation before the song and after. A diva with humility. A rare trait.

    One if not the best performance of this song. The way she's able to go do crescendos and decrescendos is unreal. I didn't grow up with her music except for knowing sweet dreams but the older I get the more I appreciate her vocals

      @dmbassa Před 9 lety +10

    • @BestHBCU
      @BestHBCU Před 7 lety +6

      I agree. I love the first time she stops playing and looks at the audience. I love to watch her enjoying her skill and talent. It's not arrogance. It's just being confident and comfortable sharing something that others appreciate.

If you are on Facebook, hop over to her channel and see a glimpse into her life. She shares personal photos, stories and much more with us. She is an amazing human being and our world is truly a better place with Annie in it. Come over to my channel and see much more of Ms. Lennox. I have many Annie videos there.
