I began to send this lovely performance of this "classic Vannelli" to a loved one, as a heartfelt message FROM ME. But as I listened to this masterpiece, it became obvious that this beautiful composition was written by Maestro Gino Vannelli thru Divine Inspiration... & that this emotional lyric is the message our Heavenly Father offers to us ALL. May God continue to bless this talented man. And may He bless ALL of you... abundantly & always. 💕🙏💕
I had the great pleasure to be a stage manager at a gig with The Doky Brothers and Gino Vannelli. So I had two days on and of stage with him. What a fantastic moment in my life. Gino is the best ever......
We not only need food, water and fresh air to live.........but also this tremendess music from mr. Vanelli!!! It's like classical music, from a humble person Gino Vanelli is. A real great singer, composer with so many golden music. It keeps my live, between all the daily problems, in shape. Thank you, Gino❤❤❤❤
One of the most wonderful and stunning voices I've ever heard in all my life. I bought one of his epic records in 1976, "The Gist of Gemini", in which there is another masterpiece, titled "Omens of love", a song he never sang later on his concerts. Why? I met him in Nova Gorica (Slovenia)in 2000, but I forgot asking him about that track. Anyway a giant of his age, with Zappa, Wonder, Prince and some more. An emperor!
...mostruoso...la "semplicità" delle note e della voce...come intensità,passione...come genialità metto Gino a pari livello con Wonder...Stevie dalla sua ha piu"hit"..ma ripto,come genialità...Gino sta su quei Livelli...se qualcuno non è d'accordo me ne parli pure...Luglio scorso Wonder a Verona è stato magico...ma Vannelli a Cuma(NA),Settembre 2005 pure fu mostruoso col Feat. al piano di Michiel Borstlap...immenso Gino...poi questo nuovo arrangiamento quasi come un "Notturno" di Chopin:MAGICO!
Gino's voice touches the depths of every heart! Absolutely the greatest voice out there ...ever! Yes better than Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, and Sting. Every note perfectly stretched and reached! Beyond belief RANGE! I can't get enough of his voice...
As a generational musician with accounts that would blow your mind, one statement that Gino made, blew my mind..he said, " what scares me is losing my love for music". That really made me think. I lost my love for the music scene, thinking music and the music scene were one in the same, but they aren't, thank God. I quit entirely in 1993 and didn't take it up again until 2017. Twenty-four years. I guess some famous musicians have gone as long as 30 years....that's really fed up! But, I have my karaoke set up, now to find a place to practice. I do want to love it, maybe for the first time in my life.
I fell in love with this song the very first time I ever heard it. But I think I love this pared down version even more because you can really see what a beautiful ballad it is. No, there's no comparison to Gino; he's truly one of a kind.
I always loved and love this song, It's very emotional! This version also shows he's still got an incredible voice and he's a great composer too! Last time I've seen him in concert some years ago I said to myself: what a voice and what a band (he always had very good musician too!). This song is not easy harmonically but Gino makes it sound "simple" with a great impact! Great Gino... as always!!
GINO VANELLI IS FANTASTIC AND THIS IS DEFINATELY THE BEST EVER RECORDING I HAVE HEARD. Here he shows that he is much more than just a pop star. This is the real article!!!
I used to listen to his music as a teenager. Im glad to see he started putting some music out again otherwise its a wasted talent. He should not take it for granted as he has proved not only to sing pop, jazz but also opera.
You've gotta be frickin' kidding me! This is SO BEAUTIFUL. Once again, I find myself in tears. This man's voice & spirit have "ministered to me," so fully & completely, for SO MANY YEARS now. The consummate Artist. And these collaborations w/Michiel Borstlap expand this ALREADY magnificent music in ways that speak volumns to ALL human sensibilities. The original is one of my FAVORITE recordings. So I hesitated to listen here, thinking it COULD NOT POSSIBLY MEASURE UP. Wrong. Gino, You Rock!
Yes, I did it to express my love towards the greatness of Gino's divine voice and superb song only! Thank you for your kind words! If there's anything that is wrong, I'm sorry!
@Karenfan09, What a great words! Very well said! Thank you for your post! Gino deserves highest admirations for his talent and creative work! And the love that we give him, of course!
Each time ...is just a greta moment a great emotion a great feeling to listen Gino..... I'm a lucky giuy to have the pleasure to meet him and to produce a concert of HIM !!! Thanks the life....
His efforts not to be mainstream squashed, (thankfully) by the success of I Just Want to Stop’, Gino gives us these kinds of powerful love ballads, but in only Ginos way, he seems to rise above the pigeon hole anyway. Nobody does this better than Gino. So many deep and collateral facets of his musicianship burst through with every effort. I bought NightwAlker as soon as it came out. Loved it, but kind of forgot about this song. Ran into it the other day and it blew me away. Thanks again Gino for everything you do.
Non parlo ne scrivo in inglese. Però la musica non ha confini. Grazie a Mina che ha interpretato la cover di questo brano,e grazie a Dario che su due note mi ha dato le dritte giuste, da oggi posso dire di conoscere anch'io un ottimo artista d'oltreoceano di spiccate origini italiche. Grazie Gino.
This masterpiece takes on an extra special meaning today...Thank U Maestro you are beloved, admired & highly blessed with incredible divine talent beyond words 🔥🔥🔥🔥🙌🏻
I have always loved his work from his very first song,I am now a film maker and wish to tribute Gino Vannelli by including this song in my film, I only hope he gets to read this and allows me to do so.
Don't "soften the chords!" The darkness is part of this beautiful song. You sing so beautifully, but DON'T soften the darkness of the original. There is profound beauty in that darkness! This sounds "churched" - to make others happy. Live true to the original!!
Yes! The original has so much power and intensity to it… yet still remarkably so beautiful and touching that it can make one cry (like me). The original simply can’t be beaten or replaced.
WOAH ! omg Let's put this kid on AMERICAN IDOL ! he might have a gigantic career ! jeepers. HUGS to you to GINO, thank you SIR for so much happy song way back when. You are awesome, and still sexy - MEOW !
@glennbo72, your comment is the most valuable here! It represents your true love towards Gino's music and talent just as I've expressed mine in my video film!
Francesco Renato è bravo ma Gino Vannelli non si può raggiungere è un gigante della musica forse non lo conosci bene e poi non si è mai travestito non ne aveva bisogno Basta la sua voce e la sua musica. Ciao
First time I heard this recording---I cried----beautiful song, sung by Gino----whose voice could only be given to him by God. Grateful!
Another beautiful gem by Mr G. ❤️🎶❤️

I agree, GV is on the same level of Stevie
Sono grandi sia Steve che Gino , ma Gino mi incanta x me è unico .
Gino's voice touches the depths of every heart! Absolutely the greatest voice out there ...ever! Yes better than Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, and Sting. Every note perfectly stretched and reached! Beyond belief RANGE! I can't get enough of his voice...
His talent, and heart and soul, are stunning.

La sua voce e la sua musica sono un viaggio in Paradiso ❤
Just love this song makes me shed a tear for I used to sing it myself many years ago . Just the way he sings it.
Always been my favorite Gino ballad. Hope he sings it this wkend at Seneca Falls, NY!!!
The holy spirit is talking to you in this special tune...a song of trust n faith...gino hits it hard...a gift lyrically n melodically...
non esistono parole per commentare un artista come gino vannelli
So beautiful it makes me cry. This song is my very favorite Gino song. Thank you for posting.
Most inspiring song. His voice, the piano and the lyrics can bring tears to your eyes. Whew! What a man!!!!
Grazie! Una versione musicale & canora emozionante!!!

The best song ever written. This song has been the soundtrack to my life. Simply without equal. Thanks Gino
"Rise above what is past and let yourself be free." Sublime piano voicings and a great vocal. Wonderful stuff.
Wonderful advice for all of us.
Amazing, still and ever ❤

What a monster singer - and such a nice guy
Quelle jolie version. Je suis fan depuis très longtemps de cet artiste.

Mamma mia
Immenso .. the giant ;)
@glennbo72, your comment is the most valuable here! It represents your true love towards Gino's music and talent just as I've expressed mine in my video film!
@lvelev Can only agree completely.
extraordinaire!cette version plus intime est geniale
Gino tops all male vocalists.. too bad wasn't recognised as such
Song for lonely hearts.....
Too little credits for Michiel Borstlap on piano. Arrangement is beautiful.
A brilliant piano accompaniment. ❤❤❤
🌿🌿🌿
Does anyone have the Imperials version from the Stir it Up album from 1993? That was another incredible version. Jonathon Pierce did the song justice!
Beautiful version
Available on YT
Who plays ?
meravigliaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
@ginojens Search for Brothers on stage, gino vannelli, put the weight
verry to resemble singer italian number one RENATO ZERO WONDERFUL
Francesco Renato è bravo ma Gino Vannelli non si può raggiungere è un gigante della musica forse non lo conosci bene e poi non si è mai travestito non ne aveva bisogno Basta la sua voce e la sua musica. Ciao
Is there a link for the piano score?
Who is playing piano?
Gino himself...
Michael Borstlap. A genius accompanist. Super Pianist !
This version is just as magical as the original....
