The Girl Wh0 Used to Be Me - from Shirley Valentine. Written by Marvin Hamlisch. The album version is on Patti Austin's "Love is Gonna Getcha". Join the Patti Austin group: launch.groups.y...
I think that's the true point of the film. It, alas, has been hijacked by bitter people making it an issue of women versus men. It's not. It's about us all getting lost along life's highways and byways. At the end of the film, when Shirley watches Joe arrive and struggle up the road with the suitcase her heart goes out to him and she acknowledges that 'he needs to feel the sun on his skin and to be in water that's as deep as forever." It's supposed to be a unifying message, not a divisive one.
I had completely forgotten Patti Austin sang this gorgeous song from a movie I’ve loved for so long. Man or woman, this song is about everybody…me included.
I think I prefer this version more than I do her album version..there is something sad and melancholy compared to her other version..maybe it is the music..anyway..thanks for posting
oh boy...GREAT SONG!! And Patti Austin..what can I say? One of THE most under rated female vocalists of our time. She can circles around the shit we call "singers" now. *SIGH*
This version is just stunning. So beautiful. I find the album version just to hard & loud. This version is perfection. Wish it had been released as a the film version 💙
Watch shirley valentine next year till September go to abroad holiday in Turkey marmaris with mum,me,Christine allott and gail allott a girl's holiday xxx

One of the best film ever! I watched it in my early twenties, thinking 42, Shirley's age, was so far off. Hmmmmmmmmm.
This movie AND song changed my life as well!

Let's not forget that the lyrics to this song were by Alan and Marilyn Bergman, who have done lots of great work with various composers.
Still adore it! Personal meaning, still :)

@molinmusic Sounds like an interesting story. Care to share?
Get the DVD Shirley Valentine. You will never regret it!
The production on this doesn't justice to the song or the performer.
You’re alone in this dumb comment.
