5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful and so emotive, April 11 2004

By

Kali "bengaligirl" (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Beaches: Wind Beneath My Wings (Audio CD)

I love Bette Middler, her voice is out of this world, it is so powerful and strong and yet so gentle and the lyrics are heartfelt, some of us are lucky enough to have someone who is "their wind beneath their wings," and it is only when we loose them do we understand what a song like this is saying.

The film "Wind Beneath my Wings" appears in is great too, who can forget Beaches, with its many memorable songs, this being the theme song, and though I know the song has been around for a lot longer than the film, it certainly epitomises the essence of love, friendship and loss.

Sadly some people are very scathing about "Wind Beneath my Wings," not Amazon Critics as I can see but recently it was voted in the UK as "one of the most irritating songs" ever written which I thought was really far too harsh and unfair.

Despite this damning poll it has my vote, and I will play it until the cows come home and enjoy every emotional minute of it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Song!, Oct 25 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Beaches: Wind Beneath My Wings (Audio CD)

This song is so sad and beautiful! It just brings me to tears! It makes me remember of when my cousin died back in 1992 in a car crash. They played this song at his funeral. He was only 17 years old.
