My mom would play this on the piano every once and a while as I grew up. She passed away a few weeks ago at 49. I'm 19 and completely lost without her. I've been practicing this song on the piano so that I can keep that small part of her with me.
My condolences,such a beautiful honor to your Mom 😊😍
Big love baby❤️
It seems it’s been 9 months since you posted this...but i hope you doing well. I can’t imagine losing a parent at such a young age. I’m so sorry.
Be brave...and practice..she ll hear it every time!
Thank you everyone for your kind words. It's been a year now since she's passed and I've started to make a life for myself. I believe she would be proud of me!
My husband picked this song to play at our wedding,, married to the love of my life, over 48 years before I lost him. But it makes me realize just how blessed I was to have him in my life.
I am so sorry for your loss.

I'm so sorry for your loss,heart is great,how are you doing 🌹

This song was played on the piano at my and my wife’s wedding. My wife passed away on August 15, 2022. I cry every time I hear this song. We were married for 22 years and I feel so lost and sad without her. But I know she is in a better place now with Jesus. I will always love her, miss her and she will always be in my heart forever.❤️
Always so hard to loose a best friend but such a great comfort to know that they are home with Jesus. Thank you for sharing your pain. Jesus is always there to fill even those deep losses. We are truly privileged to know him on the personal level. He is that Balm.. Blessings to you. 🌹♥️🌹
@@traceylussier547 Thank you so much 😊
Always
Bless you! My husband Joe died August 15, 2021. We were married 40 years.
@@marieknowles2343 bless you too I know exactly what the pain is that you’re feeling and it’s something that we will never get over.
This song makes me cry but I love it. It takes me through my journey in life these 65 years. Love and regrets.
My sister sang this at my wedding. And they played it at her funeral. Sometimes, I just have to hear it. It makes me think of her.
R.I.P Jack's sister :(
Thanks.
Beautiful. May she rest now.
its a beautiful song. I'm sure you had a beautiful sister.
I'm sorry for your loss, but I'm glad there's something that can bring good memories of her to you.
My wife died suddenly a year ago We were married forty five years This was one of our favourite songs It tears me to pieces every time. Arthur Lloyd
So sorry for your lose...She is now with her maker...
My deepest sympathies to you sir. This song also was mine and my husband's song. Still have to play it.🤝
So sorry for your lose
I am so sorry for your loss.
@@hasanfarooq2223 thank you so much for caring. I truly believe that humanity still exists in many people in the world. You have proven that. XOXOXO'S
When I overdosed I was pronounced dead for 5 minutes, but when I woke up this song was playing in my head. I saw my dad cry for the first time. I saw the white light, that shit is beyond real. I actually saw myself on the table. But my friend who I lost as a teenager told me it wasn’t my time and I woke up ❤❤
Alles Liebe und alle Kraft der Welt für dich ❤
Da hat jemand wohl zu viel Eminem gehört
Same exact thing happened to me. I was over my body seeing everything happening and I saw the light and ppl I’ve known that’s already passed saying it’s not her time yet and I woke up. I remember saying I felt so at peace
I haven’t heard this song in ages. I’m sitting in my wheelchair crying as I listen. Thank you Bette Midler!!
I lost my wife 2 weeks ago from covid-19. The feeling of having to watch the love of your life slowly choke to death, alone in icu and not being able to do anything about it...is indescribably horrific and it tore a hole in me. She tried to call me while I was at work, before they sedated her because knew she wasn't coming back. I missed her calls due to the poor reception where I work. She left her sister a message to give me saying "tell trinity that I love him.". I loved her more than I ever thought I could love someone. And although my heart still beats... I died with her in icu that day. RIP Kathryn Bernard. I hope you know how much you meant to me. I miss you so much, it literally hurts me. I would have done anything to rewind time long enough to have been able to answer when you called. If I could only go back in time long enough to give you one last painful kiss.
Stay strong. She would want you to continue living your life and be happy. When it's time, she'll be waiting for you at the other side of the rainbow
The same just happened to my cousin . My sympathies.
honey im dying after i got covied it destroyed my lungs and liver im in liver failure now my heart is giving out trust me your wife knows how bad it hurts
you not being able to say goodbye its not your fault the phone didnt work when she was calling to say goodbye she seen you before she went over its so beautiful im finding out nothing to be scared of god bless you please let the pain of her passing ease over time from a person thats got least than a month to live shows you your loved one knows your pain and want you to know its unconditional love wear there at god has been showing me this to make it less scary to pass on , god bless you will see her again when its your time..
Hold on to your memories. Your not alone. There's loads of us out there.try to do the things you an she would do.your her heart an sole now she's with you. Love is a special thing not everyone finds a love so deep that it cuts like a knife when your no longer together. Be strong for her .you were so brave and she will no you were there to the end .🙏🕊
This Chinese virus has taken so much away from us . I pray for your well being .
Be blessed by the divine.
Sang this to my Mom just before she passed. I hope she heard me...Love you and miss you, Mom.
I love the song,and sorry about your loss,how are you 🌹
After battling dementia for 14 years, my mom finally passed away last week. She loved this song, ABBA and Frank Sinatra. Even as her memory faded, Mom's face would light up with a smile when I played this song! May you find peace that was so evasive for far too long, Mom.
I'm so sorry for your tremendous loss. It's incredibly painful as there's none like it. I loved what you shared about your mother. God bless her and you. Amen to your wise sentiments. Thank you ❤️🌹
life and death are predestined Job 12 10 and in a series Heavenly Sword and Dragon Slaying Sabre
Sorry for your loss. Dementia is one of the hardest illnesses for everyone involved. I hope your Mom is at peace, and that you will find some as well ❤️
I lost my mother a year ago to dementia as well as dad I am that she’s no longer here as much as I’m struggling without her here I’m so glad she doesn’t when to go through that illness anymore I’m sorry for your loss 🙏🏼
Beautiful sentiments.
Prayers of healing and God's love for you and those others still here among us.❤
This was one of my mother's favorite songs. We sung it in church when I was 15. She had it played at her funeral. She went to heaven Easter Sunday April 9,2023 at 12:30 pm.. I go to her grave once a week and sit and play & sing this song to her. I miss her so much. I don't know how to say goodbye. I love & miss you momma. Love always ur daughter Constance.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my sister & my father figure 6 weeks apart, right now I'm right in the middle of the 1 year anniversaries. Grief is horrible & painful & so unpredictable. I hope you find comfort in unexpected ways & you allow yourself to feel whatever comes up, when it comes up. May you find healing. ❤
I understand. I want to go on and meet my Savior. LIFE IS SO PAINFUL.
Thank you for sharing Constance. I hope you’re doing well.
I’m almost 33 years old and I can’t listen to this song without crying, so so great
I hear you. I'm 52 and ever since it came out I was like that.
I started to cry listening when I was 43
Lillian M totally agree. I just was trying to say, just because you’re a woman doesn’t mean you can’t love a Metallica song. And just because you’re a man, doesn’t mean you can’t love a Whitney Houston, or in this case, a Bette Middler love ballad. No matter who you are, or what you’re age is, you should always be able to appreciate good music. No matter the genre
@@toffeeapple7783 To be honest, I told the story in another comment. So it had nothing to do with my age or the song but all for my personal reasons for that. But now I am fine, I made peace with life, let´s put it that way.
@@toffeeapple7783 Thank you so much for your kind words. 🙏 Also all the best for you. Max.
My Aunt Rose passed away this morning, my brother delivered the news. While talking to him on the phone I had the Google mini playing in the back ground,, specifically, 70s music..While still talking to my brother on the phone ,not minutes after he told me the heartbreaking news, this song "The Rose" started to play on the mini..it gave me chills you cannot believe!
💔
2020 is a dick but got a taste of music
💕
Sorry for your loss
Sincerest Condolences 🙏
We played this song at the funeral of my believed wife after a marriage of more than 55 years. Rest in peace and we never forget you.
Love the last verse:
Just remember in the winter far beneath the bitter snow lies the seed that with the suns love in the spring becomes the rose.
Fantastic lyrics!
Wow that's the most beautiful thing I have ever read I love this so much
To me, this song's main point is ... never foreclose the possibility that your soulmate may be just around the corner or over the next horizon. I still haven't met my Miss Right, but Hope remains that I still may. Regardless, I have the Love of Jesus Christ living within me, and I'm never alone nor lonely.
Your words ring true.
thank you for that
I think mine got run over by a truck
I never thought i'd meet someone but i did and she makes me happy so don't lose hope, there is someone for you out there.
Wow no atheist yet? That really suprises me.
Ok this song was popular when I was a freshman in high school. I couldn’t stand it because it was playing all of the time and I was a rocker. Hearing it after several decades of life I can only say that it’s the most beautiful song I’ve ever heard.
My mom and dad danced together to this song 30 years ago. I remember watching this on their VHS recording. They're still together today and more in love than ever.
❤
Beautiful ❤️❤️
My older sister used to sit on the floor of her room in 1979, and played her 45rpm of "The Rose" almost daily, on a Sears record player. She passed last year at 53. Her husband and I were going through her stuff to separate heirlooms, and I found a dog-eared, still with the record in the jacket 45rpm of this song. Good thing she took the time to seal it in a ziplock bag. Otherwise I would have soaked it. Within 30 seconds, there were two grown men sniffling and softly sobbing in that garage. *RIP, Dawn*
Im so sorry for your loss
SouthOCmixdown sad I am sorry for your loss.
Your comment brought tears .
i''ve been through a lot in life and rarely cry over anything. your comment did the trick.
sincere condolences for your sister. stay strong for her family and yours.
Very nice sentiment, I wish you the best sir!🙏
The lyrics, the composition, the voice…one of the most beautiful songs ever and I love it ❤️

Yes it is !

Everytime that counts sting.
Absolutely superb.
this song is so beautiful im passing away from liver failure and listening to this beauty helps put me at peace
Praying you have peace and salvation from Christ our Lord!

How dare anyone dislike this piece of absolute beauty…
It’s probably because they teared up so badly they misclicked
You have to have a very hard heart and not feel the love and loss in this song.... Even with death and a broken heart...your heart will make you cry...and break down the barriers that has covered the heart for so long... there's enough hope to keep you alive... And remember those who you loved.
Beautiful but sad song
Shortly, The Rose, by Bette Midler , will one selection of music for my sister's memorial.
She loved it, we spoke of it many times and we only changed a few words.
This was back when it first came out.
If you only change one word, at the final line of lyrics it says, "The Seed, That With The Sun's Love, in the Spring Becomes The Rose."
My sister and I changed the words, Sun's Love to , SON'S LOVE.
Our family is a large group of Believers, therefore, we needed to use HIS name.
My sister just passed on the 25th.
Brand new pain, but so honored to be with her and her grandaughter when she breathed her last early breath.
Note: we all greive differently, in our own way, our own timing, but no one can steal the memories and history of one so close.
Be kind to yourself, those left behind from that loved one, God knows it all and will carry you when you can't move under your own strength, wisdom or knowledge.
Much love from my sister, me and our entire family.
Peace.
@@RowieTheFawn As I do every time.
I don't usually go out on a limb, but this might be the most beautiful song I've ever heard.
Randy Bailin so ever True to the Core!
Its up there with danny boy
Best heart break song
Randy Bailin Susan Thank you This is my Ultimate By Far Favorite Song Of all time! Thank you!
This is a beautiful poem. Thanks for the poet and the singer.
I am a foreigner (S.Korea). Today, I burst into tears 😢, but this is a very precious day.
This song, I played and sang to my only Queen. My baby girl . My kids and I went through many rough times during my addiction and now my journey with cancer. I proud to say I am sober, and by the end of this year, cancer free! Praise God! The rose help heal my relationship with my baby girl.
A little late, but Congratulations!
I lost my very best friend of 60 years. I am so lost without her. We were in each other's weddings, had our children together and went on vacations with our families together. I swear this song was written about her. Every word describes her hard and embittered life with an uncaring husband. God has another angel up there.
Love you❤
Love brianna
Lo😅
I am so glad. My dad was alcoholic and ………. Well, you know
This was my moms favourite song, she passed away in 2006 when I was 6, I can’t even listen to this song without bawling my eyes out. I have a whole forearm tattoo of a rose with her first and middle name in it, which ironically enough, was Rose. Valerie Rose 🌹
Sapphire Rauscher... that is so sad. I feel for you only having your momma for six years... my heart breaks for you. 🖤💕💔🖤💕💔🖤
@@mirandalynch8328 thank you 🙏🏻

Maybe we could
This was the song my grandmother asked me to sing at her funeral in the future.
I want to make sure I sing it perfectly, but I don't want to practice because it will remind me of when the day actually comes.
She's 78 now. I love her to bits.
I just want to do it without crying in the middle of it.
Im just a 20 year old guy.
Ugggggg
KRUDDYMUSICIAN I was blessed to have my grandmother for 30 years.... I wish at 20 I realized what you do now.... CHERISH every minute of her.... because the aching hole they leave when they go when you've had such a beautiful relationship changes you forever. You'll be amazed at the strength you'll have to honor her.... it's a beautiful, amazing bitter sweet precious gift.
Tripple, I'm sorry you feel that way. I think you misunderstood my context though. I also don't believe that death is the end... that we cease to exist.... the bitter-cold is a physical representation of death perhaps... but the love and memories left behind last and I have hope that there is something more beyond the physical. Peace to you and thank you for what you did for the council. That couldn't have been an easy task facing death everyday. I pray that it humbles and softens you and not create a bitter dread.
Tripple Falic Sad how words of love and kindness draw creatures like you out from under rocks.
KRUDDYMUSICIAN how sad.is you or your grandmother a christian?. if not i pray you will find a christian church or pray privately in your room before going to bed ,and pray God forgive me for my sins and i believe you sent your son jesus to die on the cross for the forgiveness of my sins .jesus please come into my life and my heart and be my lord and saviour .and tell me how you go.and once you are saved you can ask your grandmother to pray this prayer .and when her time comes it want be sad as you know shes on her way to heaven.God bless you.
how am i a creature crawling from a rock.you just dont go to heaven ,many make that mistake.you have been born in original sin from adam and eve and we need to repeant of any sin to jesus and be baptised or we will never enter into heaven .me included
I lost my Dad on the 17th of May 2023. I miss him so much, I love this song and dedicate it to my Dad xxx
I'm sorry to that. Just hold on to all the good memories, I lost my Dad 39 years ago , I think about him every day. ❤
@@lightinthedark9984 Thank you ,its so hard. I hope your'e ok x
@@Mandy-pb7vf Yes I am, Thank you. The pain fades over time, although we never forget them. My sister and I laugh a lot about things he has said or done. I hope that you do the same. everything will be ok.
The lyrics alone are incredibly beautiful but the instrumentals and vocals lift this to a level seldom heard.
I 100% agree top of my play list
“I wrote it in 45 minutes…”, said the American country singer-songwriter, Amanda McBroom, referring to one of the greatest songs ever written!
A simple short melody repeats 3 times. On second repetition the lyrics deliver 4 sentences that rival the wisdom of every age and the utterances of every sage:
• It’s the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance;
• It’s the dream afraid of waking, that never takes the chance;
• It’s the one who won’t be taken who cannot seem to give;
• And the soul afraid of dying that never learns to live.
The creative power of the human spirit never ceases to amaze me.
Beautifully summarized. This song has a depth that touches the soul.
This was my ex-husband's and my song. He passed away 2 years ago and whenever I hear this song, it brings me to tears. I miss him so much and I can picture us dancing to this wonderful song. I miss you Tony. Love, Joan
May wish your happiness.
it's been two years since my fiancee and I can totally relate, I'm sorry for your pain its just indescribable how it is to lose your soulmate although I believe it can be worse especially the loss of a child, my heart, and prayers go out to all.
I played this today because of severe depression. Not sure how it applies, just found it comforting. Maybe I need to hang in there and pray my spring is coming. If you’ve loved and lost… be thankful you had a love so precious. Not all of us have been so blessed.
Dear Michele, be strong and hang in there. Your time will come. Much love to you ❤
Dear Michele, sometimes a song alone isn't able to help you. Do you need any help or support?
I bless you with all my heart ❤️
I too have bad depression but it’s songs like this that makes you understand that life is so precious.
Take care.
I hope you're better. I just heard the that listening to a sad song can actually lift your spirits when you're down. Prayers. I truly hope you're doing better.
Hang in there, never give up, your time will come.
Bette Midler and The Rose - both so amazing, precious. and dear, what an absolute beautiful combination. This song speaks to my heart, everytime I hear it.
Hi Elmarie
This song reminds me of my brother, Murphy. He died at 13 and I was 10. In his book bag he had drew a picture of a rose 🌹 and this song resonates in his memory. Love you big bro, I wish I had the chance to grow up with you. Till we meet again. ❤️
So sad but beautiful song with so much meaning
My brother died at 23, I was 21 at the time. It is a lifelong heartache and pain, I feel your pain.
Listen to the Andre Rieu orchestra version of The Rose. Very moving
I miss my dad
He passed away last summer
I was 21 then and just finishing university
I feel so lonely without him
I love you dad, forever and ever
Big hug my friend
I understand. My dad passed away suddenly when I was 17. I am now 49 and it still hurts
I got to say to you.i hope God helps you to deal with the lose of your daddy.dear God please be with this person please help him in a way so he is ok please thank you jesus
Am very sorry for your loss, really...just think that your dad's spirit and all the memories you have with him and of him... there are always going to be with you..nothing can take away from you that precious gift ..thatt God's gift to you.. God bless you🙏🌹
Lost my dad in 09. I feel u. Keep ya head up. Lets make our dads proud. They would want that
this was the song my mom used to sing to me every night to get me to sleep when I was a baby. now, at almost 27, I find myself searching it up every time I’m having trouble sleeping.
I never realised just what a good song this is. From a songcrafting point of view, it's genius, people. Amanda McBroom wrote it, and Bette Midler recorded it for the first time. When I was a younger wee bairn I thought it was too cheesy and sentimental for a metalhead boy to play, but now I repent! Embrace the cheese! In fact, pass me some pumpernickel.
I never realized it as well. Amanda has wrote, in my opinion one of, if not the most beautiful, inspiring love song. EVER!!!!
This song always reminds me my baby daughter which I lost 2 years ago at 4 weeks old. Love you so much Princess RIP sweetheart xx
So sorry to hear about your baby. ;-(
Little precious darling now an angel sleeping peacefully in the arms of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen⚘⚘
I'm so sorry for your loss you will see her again when you die your self one day ❤
@@elliewilletts8067 That's creepy. What a thing to say!
I couldn't imagine that pain. XOXO - much love
My grandma just passed. This was played at her funeral. She loved this song.
My condolences for your loss
God bless both you and your Grandma.
same here my prayers go out to you
I'm so sorry for your loss but know your never alone there is people out there who really care. God bless your family
I'm gonna sing this at my grandma's funeral... gonna try not to break down❤
My wife and I took in a foster child with a very severe heart defect. We were told she wouldn't live for a year and don't get close to her. We told them that if a child comes into this home, it would be loved. We experienced miracles that saved her life several times. She loved music, but "The Rose" was her favorite and she would break into a lovely smile everytime she heard the first few notes. While we saw her in critical condition several times in her life she continued to live. We adopted her at age 5. She continued to live, but on Sept 2, 2018, she suffered a cardiac arrest and passed away at 24 years of age. My grand daughter sang "The Rose" at her funeral. Whenever I think and cry about her we play The Rose for comfort.
God bless you Jack. She is with you in spirit.
I had to comment on your tremendous experience. If everybody was like you what an incredibly wonderful world it would be. You are the magical essence of what you mean already should be thank you so much for sharing what you did it gives me hope and strength to know that there are such incredible people like you. Thank you
😢

🙏🌈❤️
I remember hearing this song for the first time. Imagine a small group of high school kids - full of energy and life. This song comes on. Nothing but silence for the next three-and-half minutes. At the end of the song, someone broke out of the trance and asked, "What just happened?!" We didn't even remember the lyrics - just a song about a rose. It was that powerful. I can't say we have souls, but if we do - this song spoke to them.
This song to me is about learning to love, to give and not live in fear. To go after what you want & trust that God will help you all the way. It’s deep & absolutely beautiful 💕 if you don’t go for it you’ll never have it. It’s about planting the seed & letting God do the rest the seed is LOVE 🌹
Right on rose
I agree
I agree with that,how are you doing 🌹
Amen so True. Plant a seed .
Well said Rose ❤️
My big sister is dying...this was the first song I ever heard her sing. When she sang this, looking at her and hearing her voice, seeing her emotions,...this made me want to be just like her and to sing as good as her one day. Now she is in Maine dying and I am states away just wishing I could be there with her to sing this for her. I love you sissy, more than words.
I am so sorry. Know there is someone all the way across the other side of the world holding you both in her heart. (And prayers.. if you are ok with that)
Am so sorry about about that,how are you doing
Go there. Forget what's keeping you from doing it. You'll regret it for the rest of your life
If she's still here I hope you can somehow come to Maine. We've barely have any snow. So sorry you are all found through this.
My sister used to sing this song to me when we were kids and things got bad. I lost her in 2020 at 43 days after her birthday. I miss her much! But I know there’s a God in Heaven holding her right now. He’s the same God who is you. May you have peace and love in your heart!
My mummy took her life on the 14/06/22. I’m the oldest daughter. I’m a wreck, don’t know what to do.
She was my best friend!!!
She had a presence like no other. She lit up every room!!!!
and this song was her!!!!
It was the song she won many competitions with, She sang this so beautifully!
I will play this until I die 😭
You ok
In time you will heal and live again. 🥀
Prayers sent your ways

That is wong
thank you.....
Still can’t listen without crying. My great gram used to have me sing it to her. She passed in 2003… still miss her every day
My mom lost my sister while giving birth. She played this song at her funeral . I never realized how touching this song is. I recently lost my grandma. This song is giving me Comfort. During this time.
For all us broken hearted people out there
Let’s not give up on ourselves
Yes the darkness came to take away our light
But the sun will return to cast away the dark shadows that’s lingering overhead
Chris Ali that's beautiful! Sending you lots of love, hugs and positive energy! Keep strong!
Damn ur comment brought me to tears. The sun will shine on us broken hearted people
Brennan who folksBrennan Dyer Lori Dyer or Brennan Black?
Brennon Ali I like the way you said that you were lovely I wish you lived in Salt Lake City
Nice thought.
I’m a horrible critic and without a doubt 100% no denial this is the most beautiful song ever written by man... absolute masterpiece
My Dad loves this song!! He has 6-8 months left to live and asked me to make sure it's played at his funeral..damn!! This is so hard😢
TH-cam "Hell's best kept secret"
My mom would watch the movie Beaches. This song starts to play and she always cried at the end of that movie. I always gave her a hard time. Made her laugh. Well she my mother had a stroke and she's gone now. Mom I love you and miss you so much. Oh and mom theres no crying in baseball.❤
“And the soul afraid of dying that never learns to live” omg I lose it everytime 😭😭❤️
I never knew lyrics could describe me so well until I heard those words
I don’t want to live, and yet I’m too scared to let myself die
Right now, I bear through everything for those who may need me
I’m 17, I sleep with a fucking Teddy bear because I don’t want to feel alone, I act happy because I don’t want people to see me sad, I pretend to love life because I want to convince myself that I don’t want death
17, and I’m feeling all of this, after years of bullying to near suicide, abuse leading to considering running away, loneliness that led to a fear which drove people away
@@logeyperogi1805 I don’t know u, never will, but I wish u all the best. Stay strong! May you find your happiness again one day.
Just lovely words for lovely people, hope u still like it,
When I was 9 years old, i sang this song at my aunt Summer’s wedding. Last week on 11/10/21 she passed away after just turning 40 years old from liver and kidney failure from complications after gastric bypass surgery. She secretly suffered from alcoholism that none of us knew about, and drinking daily after having the surgery to lose weight ended up being the death of her. Now, I am watching this video to prepare to sing this same song at her funeral next weekend. I never realized how deep these lyrics were and just how much they would mean so many years later. Gone from us too soon, but never forgotten RIP my aunt Summer Sierra Lantrip
Sorry .
My mum loved this song and when she passed away 4 years ago,God bless her soul we had this played at her funeral. l miss her every day she was a beautiful lady inside and out ❤❤❤
its 2019 and crazy to think this song is 40 years old this year, still an amazing song, so powerful!
I agree
ret
Yep I was 16 when this came out I saw it it 3 times
My parents were young adults when "The Rose" was first released.
Not this version. It's the lame 2015 remastered version, even though I typed in 1980.
my best. friend died listing to this song she had cancer
so.sorry for your loss ): stay sting for her !!! ok
If you can listen to song like this without shedding a tear, then you are NOT Human! Rest well my Dad and his Sister as well as all those people we lost in the past.
This was my dad's favourite song. He printed the lyrics and glued it on his food truck he used to work in and he would always request this song to be played, and would sang along. I think the song represented the profound and pure love him and my mother shared over many many years. He passed away nearly 5 years ago. Every time I listen to this song, it brings me back to him and to the great moments we shared together. I love you eternally Daddy, I hope you are at peace wherever you are ♥✨
My partner of 27 years passed away in July of this year & her birthday is today Christmas eve. This was played at her funeral. Not a dry eye in the house. How I miss her my dear soulmate. Xx
My parents just hit 27 years. My condolences. Losing a soul mate is devastating rest in peice your soul mate 🙏
This is not only beautiful, haunting and Bette Medler is as powerful voice as Barbara Striesand. I love this tender ballad of realization before it is too late. Thank you, Ms. Janis Joplin. you were a beautiful Woman and a misunderstood Soul. Peace Sweetie!! 😍
I cry every time I hear it. It’s such a beautiful song. Bette Midler has such a beautiful voice! I really love her!
This, the most beautiful song, will live in my soul forever. I play it daily. One day the frozen seed will flower again. x
I maybe a metal fan, but this really hits the feels, I'm not even kidding, this song actually almost made me shed a tear, I don't care how many people will judge me for this, but this song has true meaning, I'll be the first to say that this may be the one song that's true art
Yes omg yes
Nothing wrong to appreciate different genres of music. I'm a metalhead too
I'm a huge metal fan, too. I have a soft spot for songs like this.
❤️❤️
I'm a rocker aswell bro but if you truly love music it doesn't matter who sings it are what classification it's in. A great song is a great song and this is one of them
My mother just recently had surgery on her head. This is the song that she always sang for me when I was a little kid, and I still love it to this day. I just hope she remembers it. This song is super important to me, in all honesty. I want to learn how to play it on the piano at some point.
One of the most amazing songs ever written, ever performed.
"Youth of May" brings me here😭💛
I had this played at my mom's memorial service.
If anyone ever encapsulated the words of this song, it was my mother, who never knew how beautiful and lovely she really was.
I love you always.
Sorry for your loss!!😥
May her memory be blessed
You're right on Rebecca. My mom died recently also. And I don't think she ever knew just how beautiful she was. My God I miss her.
Never heard this song not until my husband sang it on one of our get together with some friends . He loved singing and this one was his favorite . I was married to him and together for 30 yrs . I lost him tragically over 2 yrs ago and this is the first time I started to listen to all his favorite songs as I was like in a verge of long term depression . With helped of friends and family and most of all prayers I'm still here 🙏. Love and miss him so much . I planted a rose bush in my little garden for his memories . He is the love of my life , my hero .
My mama sang this to me all the time growing up. She passed away in May and something in me remembered this song and it brings me back to us being face to face and her singing every word ❤️
Love. It is a flower and you its only seed. When my mom died , I was lost . She was my best friend. We moved a lot. Family was scarce . Friends. I didn't know how to keep friends. We would just move. I'd lose touch. So mom was always my main squeeze. Fast forward 16 yrs later. My father has died. Little family around. I have a child now. Family has nothing to do with him. Or me. We have eachother . This song reminds me of that. Ever if just one person loves you. And you love one person. You are blessed. Love. You. It's only seed. It starts within. The love. Have to love yourself. Others won't do it for you. A select few. But... you. It's only seed. I got to start building a tribe for my boy. He has my best friend and her kids. We shall water our garden there. The rose.
Hays Youth of May 😭❤️
On July 23, 1997 I buriedd my mom who passed away from a 2 year valiant fight from cancer, she was 44 years old, I miss you mamma, this song is for you.
I'm sorry my friend. I lost my Mama bout 5 years ago. And my Pops just 8 months ago. I loved how u said MaMMa. U sound like u are related to us somehow. Parents are very hard to say goodbye to. Makes us see life and death in a whole new way. Hope u have a peaceful life brother.
A woman's singing is quite the blessing. One of the most beautiful things I know.. Stay strong god bless you all.
This song is so special to me
It was the last song my dear mother requested to hear before she past away.❤
I played this on the piano for my fourth grade talent show. Now it is dedicated to my daughter that I love very much.
We forget how talented and underrated Bette Midler really is, both as an actress and a singer. She maybe one of the few actresses to have been nominated for an Oscar and a Grammy in the same year. She won the Grammy for best female artist pop for the song and was nominated for an Oscar for the movie. That is a big accomplishment.
Don't think she as an artist has ever been underrated at all - the 60s, 70s and even the 80s now are looked at like they are the "olden days." Unbelievable! Therefore unfortunately she isn't known like she was back in the 70s or 80s. The only thing about Bette Midler that has ever truly been underrated, in my humble opinion, was her song:"I Think Its Going To Rain Today." I like a lot of her big hits, but this song is one of my all time faves by her.
My grandfather used to listen to this song. He couldn't even understand the lyrics but he loved it. It's been over 14 years and i still miss him everyday
Lost a friend to cancer that loved this song late 1998. Never forgot it, think of her every time I hear it. Love you always Sammie "sis".
Shout out to all the broken hearted people watching this ❤️

My mom's sang this to me when I was born, and sang it to me every night up until I was ten. I sang it to my mom when she was in the hospital for a nearly fatal injury
I hope she is doing ok?
Alexis Eiland thats a beautiful story of love
I'm so sorry for your loss
To complete the cycle, it must played the day you'll die.
If possible, when you die, at the very moment.
Then... the tape of time will go backward until the flash.
Then... You'll see ;)
That song sang by your mother at birth is a BIG PART
of residual time energies. So much emotions frozen in time
with this song as background. (Trying to explain what will
happen after the flash without telling you the direct answer,
it must be discovered by the concerned person. In that case; you.)
Good point that you shared back the melody/song to your mother.
1st, the link between her and you and 2nd the possitive energies
of the song/melody. Hope she got better.
Im so sorry for u my grandad died
Bette midlers tribute to Janice joplin ❤ brilliant film the Rose 🌹 first time I watched it I heard it and I loved it! So many yrs ago and it still touches my soul
Such beautifully profound and sentimental words almost like the psalms of David.🌹
Dear Thumbs Up. 👍🏻. I’d really like for us to meet up ⬆️ sometime
My father walked me down the aisle to THE ROSE.
Today as I was buying a car. I was nervous all of a sudden The Rose came on it was my dad sign from Heaven. Everything will work out. I'm the seed, will become that ROSE
Oh, I m crying for the sweetness,dear
I read a few posts to this song...yours touched me the most......I swear, I do think God does things like that......I have moments or dreams once in a while that I know it was meant for me....It was a GOD message or something...
Sad story: I have no clue when the woman sang The Rose during my wedding. My (Ex-)Wife is gone long ago, and had taken all the DVDs of the marriage, when she left...
I hope all worked out for you and it was a sign from your dad from Heaven supporting you...
💖
Oh Oma, jeder Tag und jedes Jahr ohne dich ist so derb. Ich weiß du willst das wir lachen und nicht weinen, aber du fehlst uns so sehr. Wir lieben dich Oma..unsere liebe zu dir macht dich unvergessen..
I've heard many people sing this and come nowhere near Betty's voice she can sing a soft note and then just hits the high floorless she was definitely the right choice for this beautiful song
When I was only 4 years old my nan died and she loved this song so much and was played at her funeral and I didn’t understand it back then because I was young but over a decade later I understand it and when ever I hear this song I get reminded of her
This song to me is about loss and recovery and the power of love everlasting, God bless Bette for this masterpiece!!!
This is one of the most beautifully sung songs ever
It is impactful
As is You Light Up My Life by Debby Boone (Spending 10 Weeks at Number 1 back in the late 70s) Until Debby Boone no song went that long until 1981

Me too,how are you🌹
My dad passed away a few months ago, this was the Song that was played on my parents Wedding, idkw but i Love it even more now
I love this song because it has a very sentimental story attached to it. My friend, Patricia Trent and I have harmonized on this song too when we used to work at Trinity Services together in Mascoutah, Illinois on Friday mornings ( when they would let us work together. We got along great. The Trinity Services staff members were very accepting at first but then they were not nice to me at all. I had to try to make a way to see Patricia Trent at Trinity Services in Mascoutah, Illinois and when I did, I would give her a hug and a kiss on her cheek to tell her that I loved her ❤. She would tell me that she loved me too
When my daughter was an infant, her eyes filled with tears when I put this song on. Once she turned 3, she would fall asleep to it.
She didn't sleep till she was 3??
@@vsoni1979 When she turned 3, she would fall asleep to Bette Midler's song.
When my son was an infant I would hold him in my arms and sing The Rose to him all the time. My son is 25 now but he has no memory of those days. But I believe our bond is stronger than most because of it.
I love the song,how are you🌹
That little one has great taste in music!😊
It's timeless, and so beautiful, sad, and happy all at once. I am sure many can relate to this song, like I can
Amkami9wmio9qmiooam
When i was 5 (Pretty much a decade ago) this was played to me. This exact video. I cried at how beautiful it was. Yes, a five year old. Those were better times. I don’t see my father anymore, and life’s just so complicated. I come back here every once in a while to remember the good old days.
I heard this song slowly get louder and louder whilst my beautiful grandmother was being lowered into her final resting place and it broke me. I was holding it together until then but this song released the hurt and sadness of loosing her. See you again soon.
Well put.. This one is very bitter sweet.. It's like the rose itself it has a thorn in the side
I sang this song with women, we had finished rehab for alcohol, truly, a wonderful, successful journey, it's all true, allowing my soul to feel gratitude. I believe it has healed my heart over the years ♥️ ❤️
This makes feel so emotional n missing my parents. RIP MOM &DAD!!
So very sorry about your dad mom I feeling really bad about him her
Feel bad that
The most beautiful description of love I've ever heard!!! 💖
Just remember in the winter, far beneath the bitter snows, lies the seed that with the sun's love in the spring becomes THE ROSE 🌹....
Yes that's true, how are you doing
That is a tremendously well written line.
