I lost my husband of 35 years 10 years ago this December 24th. Music is wonderful, yet sometimes difficult. My husband and I played together, he on guitar and me singing and playing flute, for those 35 years. We had a band with others for years. I was playing and singing a Paul McCartney song 15 minutes before he died getting Christmas gifts out of the road, after the tailgate came down. I can't remember the song, even though I've remembered many times, and even now, songs are my business, I keep forgetting which song it was.

Fantastic song, makes your hair stand up. It was my mothers favourite sang by Rod Steward. I listen to this and feel my mum is next to me. God rest her soul, I miss her so much
WOW! In my twenties I bought a Best of CD of Louis Armstrong. This was the first track on that CD and I fell in love with its mystical whimsy. Now, in my fifties and with a possible revival of an old friendly flame (a flame that, for me, never went out), your version is like a rebirth of something I'd long thought wasn't there, something I'd mistakenly thought left a long time ago. Time has a way of putting things into an alternate perspective. Thank you for this version! It is beautiful.
Thank u Jill Barber . U have an unbelievable voice. This was my beloved late moms favourite song. She passed away in 2017, but this song always brings her back to me
You’ll be getting married if I have anything to do with it, if you haven’t already! You must be a lovely person to like this wonderful song that much. And being that you’re ‘all that’ we must find just the right lover man or lover woman for you! Oh, I guess I should mention that I’m a magic genie!
I sing this song. In this key, in this octave. She, like K.D. Lang has a contralto that is genuine and not at the bottom of her range. She doesn't swallow the tone to get these notes! The thing I love about her voice is that it still has a pixie sparkle to it, where as K.D. Lang's is a classic crooner sound that knows no sex, no gender at all. So, I would call Jill Barber in vocal alignment with a tenor - like me. I would put K.D. Lang in alignment with a baritone.... I talking tembre, vocal color here. Her rendition is wonderful, like K.D. Langs and different as well but I LOVE both to death. Those two are my favorite recordings of this wonderful song. It took me a while to find this one.... hmmm....
It's called "Good Music". Actually "Light Jazz" would be another good description. Other Canadians Holly Cole and Martha Wainwright sometimes work in a similar style and range back to some of these old songs from the 40's and 50's. I enjoy Jill's wide scope and thank CBC's Stewart McLean for bringing her to my attention some years back.
Just heard Jill Barber's rendition of this old Louis Armstrong hit from many moons ago for the first time today. And I enjoyed Jill's version is just as much as Armstrong's.
" Un beso para construir un sueño " Dame un beso para construir un sueño Y mi imaginación Prosperará sobre ese beso Cariño, no pido más que esto Un beso para construir un sueño, Dame un beso antes de que me dejes Y mi imaginación Alimentará mi corazón hambriento Déjame algo antes de separarnos Un beso para construir un sueño. Cuando esté solo con mis fantasías Voy a estar contigo Romances tejido Y haré creer que son de verdad. Por lo tanto, dame tus labios por un momento Y mi imaginación Hará que actualmente vivan Bueno, dame lo que solo tú me puedes dar Un beso para construir un sueño Un beso, tansolo un beso. Cuando esté solo con mis fantasías Voy a estar soñando contigo Romances tejido Y haré creer que son de verdad. Así que, dame tus labios por un momento Y mi imaginación Hará que ese momento viva Por favor, dame lo que solo tú me puedes dar Un beso para construir un sueño Un beso para construir un sueño Solo un beso para construir un sueño ...
Give me a kiss to build a dream on And my imagination will thrive upon that kiss Sweetheart, I ask no more than this A kiss to build a dream on Give me a kiss before you leave me And my imagination will feed my hungry heart Leave me one thing before we part A kiss to build a dream on And when I'm alone with my fancies, I'll be with you Weaving romances, making believe they're true Oh, give me your lips for just a moment And my imagination will make that moment live Give me what you alone can give A kiss to build a dream on When I'm alone with my fancies, I'll be with you Weaving romances, making believe they're true Oh, give me lips for just a moment And my imagination will make that moment live Oh, give me what you alone can give A kiss to build a dream on
A few thumbs down? It seems that there are still far too many assholes on the planet. (Did I just say that in my outdoor voice?) Goood! Spot on Ms. Barber. I loved it immensely : )
...as heard under the dwarf maples outside the Om Mani Padme Sigma House. ("The Adventures of Nick Danger, Third Eye", Episode 666, "Cut 'Em Off at the Past!".
I lost my husband to cancer last week & we danced to this song many times. His first kiss was what I built a dream on & a family. 31 years.
I love this song. My husband and I loved Some Enchanted Evening. Widowhood is 😢
😢zorry my fear leady .

I close my eyes and dream of me and my late husband dancing across the floor to this. I can still feel the love. 😊
My absolute favourite version of this song.
UP AN INCREDIBLE VERSION THANK YOU WHAT MEMORIES YOU BRING BACK
It's still a magical combination: this tune, this arrangement, this voice.
hidden gem
What incomparable vocal skills. She has a voice like no other
Fantastic song, makes your hair stand up. It was my mothers favourite sang by Rod Steward. I listen to this and feel my mum is next to me. God rest her soul, I miss her so much
Silk and velvet is what comes to mind. What a lovely voice.
Hurts me every time the song comes on my spotify, because it's no longer available... and I always long for it.
This is a "hidden treasure" because not enough people have seen and heard it.

Very beautiful !
what's this genre of music called. would be amazing if u replied.
It's called "Good Music".
Actually "Light Jazz" would be another good description.

" Un beso para construir un sueño "
Dame un beso para construir un sueño
Y mi imaginación
Prosperará sobre ese beso
Cariño, no pido más que esto
Un beso para construir un sueño,
Dame un beso antes de que me dejes
Y mi imaginación
Alimentará mi corazón hambriento
Déjame algo antes de separarnos
Un beso para construir un sueño.
Cuando esté solo con mis fantasías
Voy a estar contigo
Romances tejido
Y haré creer que son de verdad.
Por lo tanto, dame tus labios por un momento
Y mi imaginación
Hará que actualmente vivan
Bueno, dame lo que solo tú me puedes dar
Un beso para construir un sueño
Un beso, tansolo un beso.
Cuando esté solo con mis fantasías
Voy a estar soñando contigo
Romances tejido
Y haré creer que son de verdad.
Así que, dame tus labios por un momento
Y mi imaginación
Hará que ese momento viva
Por favor, dame lo que solo tú me puedes dar
Un beso para construir un sueño
Un beso para construir un sueño
Solo un beso para construir un sueño ...
Resembles Kaise paheli hai yeh song from parineeta movie..
RIP PAPA LOUIE
Amo forte kkkk
Me senti como se estivesse nos anos 1930...
Give me a kiss to build a dream on
And my imagination will thrive upon that kiss
Sweetheart, I ask no more than this
A kiss to build a dream on
Give me a kiss before you leave me
And my imagination will feed my hungry heart
Leave me one thing before we part
A kiss to build a dream on
And when I'm alone with my fancies, I'll be with you
Weaving romances, making believe they're true
Oh, give me your lips for just a moment
And my imagination will make that moment live
Give me what you alone can give
A kiss to build a dream on
When I'm alone with my fancies, I'll be with you
Weaving romances, making believe they're true
Oh, give me lips for just a moment
And my imagination will make that moment live
Oh, give me what you alone can give
A kiss to build a dream on
😍💃🏻🍀

Nayi nayi batein yeh batein poorani zoo zoo kaisi paheli Hai kaisi paheli zindagani Indian version of this song
A few thumbs down? It seems that there are still far too many assholes on the planet. (Did I just say that in my outdoor voice?) Goood! Spot on Ms. Barber. I loved it immensely : )
when i was a kid i was playing fallout 2 and this song was in it
Enclave here, why isn't your video feed working?
are all her songs in the same key? I've only listened to like 5 but they're all the same key!
Want to walk along a lane hand in hand with you singing this and you saying join in the chorus
...as heard under the dwarf maples outside the Om Mani Padme Sigma House. ("The Adventures of Nick Danger, Third Eye", Episode 666, "Cut 'Em Off at the Past!".
This is Fallout 2 bgm if the water chip were not misdelivered to vault 8
Dont make remakes
Hier berscht neid
POCO IMPORTA BURLAR BRAZOS Y PECHO, SI TE LABRA PRISIÓN MI FANTASÍA.
Un baiser pour construire un rêve
Me gustó más La de Armstrong pero esta suena bien
lovely, but the original is still better.
Yes she sings good, but no. This ladies rendition is lukewarm at best. This sounds very generic.
WHICH ORIGINAL? BY WHOM ?
Barber's singing is mediocre
Cyborgslayer404d You are referring to Kay Brown 1951?
ignorecorporatenews the original is made by Louis armstrong
