My Dad died from pancreatic cancer at 45, leaving my Mom, and us three daughters, 20, 17, and 12 years old. He arranged for a friend to sing this song at his funeral; there wasn’t a dry eye in the church, and the soloist had tears streaming down his face, but he made it through the song. Rest In Peace, Dad, I love you.
I lost my 82-year-old father to pancreatic cancer, but my sons and nephews, his five grandsons, were a bit older than the age range you cite for yourself and your siblings, which made it easier on the survivors. Dreadful way to go. Blessings to you.
I watched this on TV ten years after this film came out, when I was a ten-year-old boy. I was alone in the room that day and couldn't take my eyes away from it. I knew nothing about life then or the meaning of tragedy, or what sorrow was all about, but It was during this scene when this song played that I remember first really crying from the depths of my soul. My older brother Steve who was soon to enlist in the military during the Vietnam war came into the room and saw me crying. I felt so embarrassed and ashamed at that moment because boys were not supposed to cry. I remember he comforted and consoled me and I never forgot that. Steve was a wonderful brother and died before his time. R.I.P.
Well, following the last comment, I was 10 years old living in Bangkok in 1958 with my family, my father up to mischief at the U.S. Embassy, and I distinctly remember the vinyl record of “Carousel” at the house. I didn’t pay any mind to it until some 60 years later. I think it’s one of the most important songs ever written. Love and carrying on after a love one has died. Last year my 99 years old mother died at the age of 99 in beautiful Western Montana and listening to this song helped ease my sorrow.
Me too. This song kind of haunted me as a child for what I understand it now as a kind of premonition of what was to become in my future life. I also remember my sister playing this on the piano. If I loved you was the only piece she ever played and my mother, passed at 90, 3 months ago tonight.
The Carousel is an adoptation of a hungarian play "Lily" by Ferenc Molnár, written in 1909. The original play takes place in Budapest, but it was so popular, that was introduced in New York and London. It was then, when Oscar Hammerstein noticed it, who received the rights for the musical adoptation from Ferenc Molnár....
Carousel opened on Broadway on April 19, 1945, and ran for 890 performances. Its London run, starting in 1950, was just as successful. Every one of those audiences included dozens of women who lost husbands or sons or fathers or brothers in WWII. This song was for them.
Men and bhoys... And indeed Women and Gurls Who died... Chasing after a dream A dream of home In the morn's early light.. And they are waiting And see our smiles Given to us by them...
This song was played at the end of the graduating class of 1979. It has such a powerful message of faith, hope, and courage and to look forward to the days ahead, our future.
The incredible thing is that this song accomplishes a triumph of hope in 32 measures with no extra adding of high notes by a singer at all required. For that reason alone I hail it as a true masterpiece.
I never noticed that before. I love singing this song and the melody sort of carries one's voice without extra effort. It soars without bombast or heavy-handed forcefulness. I can never not weep hearing it sung in fullness with a chorus supporting like this.
I still tear up at the final scene of the movie, Carousel. It just goes to show that you cannot erase mistakes and live ANY moment of your life over again. We must take every moment we live and make it precious since there will never be another.
Carousel is one of the best musicals ever and this song, oh my Lord, so so beautiful. Gordon MacRae and Shirley Jones, two beautiful performers to be sure.
That's cos Gerry and the Pacemakers are a super underrated band. In Liverpool there's a million different beatles bands. But the few tribute bands who play Merseybeat in general, and so including some gerry and the Pacemakers songs, they're the good bands, the ones you wanna watch
Currently a senior in high school, this song reminds me so much of how I lost my grandma last year. Please cherish the good times with your loved ones guys.
It went through my head so much 30+ years ago when my beloved grandfather died. I was so fragile then ... so much has happened to me since then, & yet I can still feel pain so hard ...
I absolutely love this musical, I have just learnt to sing 'If I Loved You' and it is another beautiful song from this show. I am 16 and I think I was born in the wrong time era, because I really like these types of songs. Shirley Jones has a wonderful voice.
@@fjccommish Perhaps that's true, but one could argue that the Liverpool fans were simply proud that a local Liverpool pop group "Gerry and the Pacemakers" made a very spirited recording of this song, which charted in the British pop charts back in 63 or 64.... I like that version as it was popular when I was about 9 or 10 years old and back then, well Liverpool bands just rocked! By the way, I love the movie Carousel, just wonderful.
@@martynh5410 Actually I'm not that keen on their version. They do all that hesitating stuff, changing the timing. You can't sing along with it. I wonder if they have to do that because of copyright.
When you walk through a storm Hold your head up high And don't be afraid of the dark At the end of the storm There's a golden sky And the sweet silver song of a lark Walk on through the wind Walk on through the rain Though your dreams be tossed and blown Walk on walk on with hope in your heart And you'll never walk alone You'll never walk alone
This film never grows old...I’ve watched this so many times and yet I know this is very true in many lives. Life has moments that are dark times. But when you listen to your inner voice and do the right thing then you are blessed by faith in God. The dark days are hard but remember you need not walk alone.
Reminds me of my mother she loved this song and she had such a beautiful voice . If I think of her I watch this scene . Brings tears to my eyes. She loved Shirley Jones singing .
This song makes me cry and feel inspired all at once, it's beautiful. Having it as a finale is a perfect touch, with everyone at grad singing. Beautiful.
I’m so pleased my mum was a huge fan of musicals and my earliest movie memories include Carousel and The King and I. To this day I cry every time I watch them.
Best rendition of this song is this original IMHO. Have heard many singers sing it their way and never moves me the way this rendition does in its simplicity, heartfelt, warm and genuine. I had TBI over 47 years ago. I lost my memory, speech was limited, thinking was horrible. I learned to play my fathers electric organ by playing this tune by ear. Learned the chords and all. Never a music lesson in my life. Never played an instrument before this. This song got me through 8 long years of recovery and through our 47 years of marriage (still going strong).
Not really....a life for a woman without a man was very horrible back then. Grateful this person had family who didn't hesitate to care for her. He was a horrible person, she saw the good, but he wasn't good until the very end...in his death and only through this after life journey...that is what this movie is about...did he find redemption. This is not a propaganda tool excusing bad husbands you propose.
Having complex emotions about your horrible husband is fair but just being said "because husband" is a bit silly considering that being terrible is terrible regardless
Louise tells Julie what happened, and says that the slap felt like a kiss, not a blow-and Julie understands her perfectly. (A great tzaddik of Hasidic Judaism, the Maggid of Medzibozh, was afflicted with depression, and his sadness over the suffering of his people sometimes erupted as anger. One of his followers said that being hit by the tzaddik was like being kissed by anyone else.)
I like to think I'm tough but it had me in tears again. My dad died when I was 15 months aged just 26. I would like to think he was there proud of me and he definitely inspired me as in the movie. Anytime I have a bad day watch the clip photo in hand and I feel better. We should also remember that our worst days are a good deal better than a lot of people's good days.
I didn't want to see it again either! Too tragic! But the second time I watched it, I was like, "Don't do it, don't marry him!" She was so pure in heart & naive. Growing up, I felt like an outcast among my peers similiar to the daughter. When I dropped my expectations of being liked, and just concentrated on what good I could do in the world, life was better. And realizing that the Lord promises to be wih us as we trust in him, has carried me through many a storm!!!🕊🙏🏼🙏🏽🙏🏾
@@ronclark9724 It's a tribute to Richard Rodgers as a composer that he worked with two different acclaimed lyricists, Hammerstein and Hart, and came up with brilliant work with each one, thematically different but equal in quality and meaning.

I had a similar experience with this play. Saw it as a 10 year old, and felt so much emotion-didn’t know what to do with it, but it has been a moving influence in the ensuing decades.
Story of my life, I loved a Billy have loved him all of my life, and knew he loved me. We have spent most of our lives apart because of his pride... and now we are old and he will never know, how I loved him... how very much.
Cathey Harris my dear Irish Ma who died at 59 sings in my heart every day “When Irish eyes are smiling” it puts a smile on my face and an ache in my heart and she died 25 years ago😢
My sister and I were about 7 and 8 yrs old, and after a summer storm Grandma let us back outside. We ran into the meadow and felt overcome with melodramatic giddiness. We started singing this song and were sure we sounded just as beautiful as Shirley Jones did. Sixty years later and we both remember it with smiles.
I have never had the pleasure of watching this movie. Now, I want to see it. Elvis Presley's version of the song(beautiful) brought me here, by looking at other artist doing the same song. Thank you for posting bc now, I know where the song originated. I loved Shirley Jones too. I never thought she got the credit for her talent.
Me too! I had planned a party. So, I had invited all of my friends from my football team as well as my buddies from prison. Then this song suddenly came on the TV. Before you could say "awkward" I began crying at the top of my lungs like a young girl scout lost in the forest in the middle of the night. It seemed like forever before I stopped sobbing uncontrollably and it took one of my football friends holding me while one of my prison pals punched me in the face to compose myself! Thank God for good friends!
Watched this because of the Temple Grandin movie. Amazing song and very encouraging! When I feel despair about life or feel defeated, I'll remember this song.
I love it too! It brought back memories of me singing along with it when only 17; watching it on television! Then years later I sang this song as well as If I Loved You; being a soloist. I'm all choked up now but it's been so worth it watching your video! Keep doing these special cuts from the good old fashioned musicals. Thank you!
I sang this song as my audition to get into music college . Not only was I accepted, but received a partial scholarship for my voice and another for my grades that I received in high school. This was in 1987.
Just today I was sharing about this to my niece but I kept breaking down and crying. These two scenes always had this effect on me. I expect because it displays such love and forgiveness- and also sadness because he had left it too late to understand about love and forgiveness. I came here wanting to share this clip with my niece and again could not stop crying watching particularly the last last scene.
how could there be such thing as this music, so deep that sums up life and world but there is still evil. those who hear i guess are the really lucky ones. heavnely music. tears
One of the most moving songs of all time, You'll Never Walk Alone was used for many years by comedian Jerry Lewis as the closing theme of his Labor Day telethon. I miss that period, and Jerry Lewis very much. He never gave up his fight for his "kids" who battled muscular dystrophy. It was his call to action. Thank you for the above video.
The Liverpool Anthem. To be in the crowd when they sing it is so emotional. I saw this film when I was 12 years old, 65 years ago. I cried then and I still cry now. The most beautiful song ever written. Rogers and Hammerstein, what incredible music and lyrics.
Yes sir, the Liverpool Anthem. A long time after the musical Carousel wrote by Rodgers and Hammerstein, the Liverpool group Gerry & the Pacemakers had a No.1 hit with this single in 1964. You are right, there is no more moving emotion then the Kop singing this song in full voice at Anfield
@@WayneM1961 Thank you for your message. I remember the film Gordon McRae and Jennifer Jones. The final scene was incredibly emotional. I remember Gerry and the Pacemakers very well too. I am an LFC fan member but sadly I’ve only been to Anfield once. Listening to the crowd singing, the song made the hairs stand up on my neck, unbelievable.
@@sondrasmith2691 Hi Sondra, yes R and H wrote some fantastic music. I first saw South Pacific when I was around 15yrs old. I was spell bound with the overture. It remains my favourite film. Regards Charles
My mother taught this song to me when I was 8/9 years old and had me to sing it in the school talent show, at church functions and such......A powerful song that has helped me through some scary times........Thank you for posting this
Whenever I get down in the dumps, as I am now, I remember this wonderful, moving song & some how it helps to pick me up. I heard it in my mind last night & was able to sleep well for the first time in weeks. Thank you Rogers & Hammerstein for your gift & with sharing it with the world.
I love this song. I started piano lessons at 8 and brought this sheet music to learn it. There was always music in our home. I have 4 siblings, 3 older 1 younger. Mom played soundtracks to musicals, dad loved big bands and Sinatra, oldest sib: Rolling Stones late 60s rock, next sib: surf music he played "wipeout" contantly (annoying)! next sib; Beatles, Allman Brothers etc., me; I love so many different bands and singer/songwriters. I've always had eclectic taste. The 70s was the best decade in music to me. I was 13 in 1970. So many incredible singers,musicians etc. I was a Rolling Stones fan in Highschool. My nickname was "Stones" but I listened to everything from AC/DC to Vivaldi. Live music is my oxygen 💜

When you walk through a storm
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark
At the end of the storm
There's a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark
Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed and blown
Walk on walk on with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone

Saddest line in the movie is "longing to tell you, but afraid and shy, I let my golden chances pass m by."
I agree; very sad !

Can't believe this movie's 60 this year!
Beautiful, beautiful, real music.
How interesting that such a quaint and simple song can be so inspiring. Thank you R & H for your "forever" messages !

Only to be topped by a packed ground at Anfield
Many do not realise how precious and wonderful that moment is until you lose it forever....yes! Walk on.....God be with you!
This song always breaks me up the way that Julie starts to sing but breaks down and can’t continue. And Nettie starts it from the beginning again.

Was he a paramedic ?
It is never too late.
This is one of the most memorable songs in all of Broadway and for that matter musical ballads
"Believe him, Darling. BELIEVE!" I live for that.
Claramae Turner as Nettie...she brings this movie to a standstill with this song...simply soul stirring....haunting..
This song is a great piece of advice...it also helps in times when there is a feeling of a lack of confidence!

My mum gave me this film to watch, must have been 7 or 8. I cried for days after, just could not stop crying. Even now, that film gets me!
I hear my Mama sing to me... even though she is gone. How I miss her
Cathey Harris my dear Irish Ma who died at 59 sings in my heart every day “When Irish eyes are smiling” it puts a smile on my face and an ache in my heart and she died 25 years ago😢
She misses you too...
How nice to have a wonderful memory like that! 🕊
@@CashelOConnolly - That's such a wonderful memory for you to have too! 🕊
The song gives me courage when the going gets rough.
My sister and I were about 7 and 8 yrs old, and after a summer storm Grandma let us back outside. We ran into the meadow and felt overcome with melodramatic giddiness. We started singing this song and were sure we sounded just as beautiful as Shirley Jones did. Sixty years later and we both remember it with smiles.
the best Rodgers and Hammerstein musical score ever!
I have never had the pleasure of watching this movie. Now, I want to see it. Elvis Presley's version of the song(beautiful) brought me here, by looking at other artist doing the same song. Thank you for posting bc now, I know where the song originated. I loved Shirley Jones too. I never thought she got the credit for her talent.
No doubt about it, that's a beautiful song
Made me cry...every time I watched it!!! Wonderful story!!!
Me too! I had planned a party. So, I had invited all of my friends from my football team as well as my buddies from prison. Then this song suddenly came on the TV. Before you could say "awkward" I began crying at the top of my lungs like a young girl scout lost in the forest in the middle of the night. It seemed like forever before I stopped sobbing uncontrollably and it took one of my football friends holding me while one of my prison pals punched me in the face to compose myself! Thank God for good friends!
Watched this because of the Temple Grandin movie. Amazing song and very encouraging! When I feel despair about life or feel defeated, I'll remember this song.
I love it too! It brought back memories of me singing along with it when only 17; watching it on television! Then years later I sang this song as well as If I Loved You; being a soloist. I'm all choked up now but it's been so worth it watching your video! Keep doing these special cuts from the good old fashioned musicals. Thank you!
This and If I Loved You are two of the greatest songs from musicals ever written in my opinion.
I sang this song as my audition to get into music college . Not only was I accepted, but received a partial scholarship for my voice and another for my grades that I received in high school. This was in 1987.
Just today I was sharing about this to my niece but I kept breaking down and crying. These two scenes always had this effect on me. I expect because it displays such love and forgiveness- and also sadness because he had left it too late to understand about love and forgiveness. I came here wanting to share this clip with my niece and again could not stop crying watching particularly the last last scene.
bloody hell, I'm in tears here..........
how could there be such thing as this music, so deep that sums up life and world but there is still evil. those who hear i guess are the really lucky ones. heavnely music. tears
One of the most moving songs of all time, You'll Never Walk Alone was used for many years by comedian Jerry Lewis as the closing theme of his Labor Day telethon. I miss that period, and Jerry Lewis very much. He never gave up his fight for his "kids" who battled muscular dystrophy. It was his call to action. Thank you for the above video.
I saw the movie back in 1956 in Cheyenne, Wyoming. I have always liked "You'll Never Walk Alone. Great movie. Saw it a second time 3 or 4 years later.
Even to this day this scene turns me into the huge snot factory I fight to keep within, and I cry like a baby.
The Liverpool Anthem. To be in the crowd when they sing it is so emotional. I saw this film when I was 12 years old, 65 years ago. I cried then and I still cry now. The most beautiful song ever written. Rogers and Hammerstein, what incredible music and lyrics.
Go on lad! Big 77 year old king 👑
Yes sir, the Liverpool Anthem. A long time after the musical Carousel wrote by Rodgers and Hammerstein, the Liverpool group Gerry & the Pacemakers had a No.1 hit with this single in 1964. You are right, there is no more moving emotion then the Kop singing this song in full voice at Anfield
@@WayneM1961 Thank you for your message. I remember the film Gordon McRae and Jennifer Jones. The final scene was incredibly emotional. I remember Gerry and the Pacemakers very well too. I am an LFC fan member but sadly I’ve only been to Anfield once. Listening to the crowd singing, the song made the hairs stand up on my neck, unbelievable.
Charles, R and H were musical geniuses anyway. This song is awesome. Ever listen to the music of "South Pacific?" If not, I think you will love it.
@@sondrasmith2691 Hi Sondra, yes R and H wrote some fantastic music. I first saw South Pacific when I was around 15yrs old. I was spell bound with the overture. It remains my favourite film. Regards Charles
Wow! i thought I loved the Judy Garland version, but this woman has a beautiful higher kind of voice!
My mother taught this song to me when I was 8/9 years old and had me to sing it in the school talent show, at church functions and such......A powerful song that has helped me through some scary times........Thank you for posting this
Still the best version... My mother sounded like this. I miss her
Like many, it reduces me to tears each time I hear this. YNWA Liverpool FC
Anyone (male or female) who doesn't tear up a little from this song and tragic moment in the film, well, you know what!
You cannot really imagine the joy you gave to my heart uplodaing this video! Tks from Chile
Whenever I get down in the dumps, as I am now, I remember this wonderful, moving song & some how it helps to pick me up. I heard it in my mind last night & was able to sleep well for the first time in weeks. Thank you Rogers & Hammerstein for your gift & with sharing it with the world.
I love this song. I started piano lessons at 8 and brought this sheet music to learn it. There was always music in our home. I have 4 siblings, 3 older 1 younger. Mom played soundtracks to musicals, dad loved big bands and Sinatra, oldest sib: Rolling Stones late 60s rock, next sib: surf music he played "wipeout" contantly (annoying)! next sib; Beatles, Allman Brothers etc., me; I love so many different bands and singer/songwriters. I've always had eclectic taste. The 70s was the best decade in music to me. I was 13 in 1970. So many incredible singers,musicians etc. I was a Rolling Stones fan in Highschool. My nickname was "Stones" but I listened to everything from AC/DC to Vivaldi. Live music is my oxygen 💜
I still cry like a baby at this scene 😭😭
I have loved the music of Carousel all my life its Incredible !
Poor thing what a sad song but it gives you strength.
For high school graduation 1973 our choir sang this piece. Such a moving and inspirational song.
So effortless! One of my longtime favorite musicals RIP Claramae Turner 1920-2013
Drivin´ me to tears...
This movie always makes me cry, but I love it. Daddy I lost you in 1973 and I still miss you in 12/2019.
This was a wonderful film and when she sang this song its stopped with me for so many years
When I was 10.years old (1967), I watched the movie version of Carousel,.and cried like crazy.
