      @@writerinfact1768 yes, Janis does a great job, I totally agree, but I guess I just prefer the raspiness of Bette’s voice. Her voice gives the song just a tad bit more edge and sadness, in my opinion. Different interpretations and likes, it’s all good. Beautiful song

    I am speechless really, I don't know how to praise this performance, there are no words to describe the charm of this. This is magically magical. I just found out the movie. I watched it when I was 7 or something when it was aired at late evening, then I forgot about it and could not find it for years. ChatGPT helped me to find the movie again. And I found out this performance. Oh my god. this performance is breathtaking, jawdropping, tearshedding and inspiring. For years I did not feel so inspired by music. To a point I almost believed music cannot work on me anymore. Thanks to this I was wrong. Bette you are amazing, amazing amazing woman. ************** If I could send you a thousand of hearts, a milion Roses, I would.

    Some say love, it is a river
    That drowns the tender reed
    Some say love, it is a razor
    That leaves your soul to bleed
    Some say love, it is a hunger
    An endless aching need
    I say love, it is a flower
    And you, its only seed
    It's the heart, afraid of breaking
    That never learns to dance
    It's the dream, afraid of waking
    That never takes the chance
    It's the one who won't be taken
    Who cannot seem to give
    And the soul, afraid of dying
    That never learns to live
    When the night has been too lonely
    And the road has been too long
    And you think that love is only
    For the lucky and the strong
    Just remember in the winter
    Far beneath the bitter snows
    Lies the seed that with the sun's love
    In the spring becomes the rose

    The Rose was written and sung by singer-songwriter, actress Amanda McBroom. It hit the charts when it was sung by the Divine Miss M for the movie by the same name. It was based loosely on the life of Janis Joplin. Bette Midler sung it so hauntingly beautiful. Nobody (imho) has performed it better not even the songwriter.

    Had my near-death motorcycle accident here in New Zealand in 1990 when I was 26. My injuries were horrific. Ultimately I lost my entire left leg as high as possible; correct term is hemipelvectomy - my hip and left pelvis was amputated. Spent 3 weeks in the ICU [intensive care unit] of 2 hospitals and a total of 101 days in hospital. I suffered several serious internal injuries as well. Lost count of the number of scars. Ever since I have suffered chronic nerve pain [neuromas - groups of nerves] around the stump area even though there is no stump. Pain is controlled via an extreme cocktail of meds including the strongest legally prescribed opiates and a high dose. Tried everything to control the pain - you name it I've tried it. Currently I am attempting to wean off an anti depressant - this could be the start of a new 'me' hopefully. So to Bette Midler's song 'The Rose'. Yep...one of a very few that stirs my soul to the point of weeping. So Bette Midler - thank you thank you thank you for providing the BEST pain relief therapy of all. Your song stirs this germ's emotions to the limit. Love is indeed; THE ROSE.

My first child, a daughter, was due on March 14th, but died intrauterine (stillbirth). I delivered her on Jan 4 and she was buried on Jan 7. I always play this song on those dates, because it fit.
    "Just remember, in the winter (Jan 4, Jan 7),
    far beneath the bitter snows,
    lies the seed that with the suns love,
    in the spring (Mar 14) becomes the rose."
    There is a lamb and a rose on her headstone. Thank you Bette!

    I've seen Bette on the stage three times and she's always just fantastic. Truly an American treasure. There's a richness in her voice that's most moving.

    My dearest friend lives in Wilmington, DE...this will sound crazy! But, this song always reminds me of her...she saw me through so many rough times and never has failed when I needed her...She called today and we had a great conversation....life is grand!

    The woman who composed this in ten minutes was Amanda McBroom. She thought of the lyrics as she was driving down the freeway. Rushed into her home and went to the piano and had it all music and lyrics in ten minutes.
