United StatesBetween Yesterday and Tomorrow
This song, when you really sit down and listen to it- it is amazing! I can't stop playing it!
From the "Just for the Record" set. But where did this song originate? It is very intriguing to me. The words are so simple but powerful:
"Between the question and the answer there's the silence of the sea,
between the cradle and the grave, there is the someone that is me........
between yesterday and tomorrow, there is more, there is more than a day.
There's every dawn you've ever seen, and every wind you've ever heard, there's
every hand you've ever touched. All that ever was, all that could have been, all that should have been"
I encourage everyone to sit down alone and really listen to the words. It is beautiful.
Also, Streisand's "Over the Rainbow" version on the lp from the "One Voice" concert, is also too much for me. I was bawling like a baby! I don't know why! I think I got nostalgic!
It's so many people on the other side of the rainbow that I miss so much, and it's killing me. ONLY Barbra and Judy can do this song justice.
Barbra you are too much for me, I can't take much more! What the Hell? How can one person have all this talent?! Are you human?? lol

Beautiful, simple, but also clever, wise - where has all the time gone? Was it a dream what we lived, is it real what we plan to do tomorrow?
I love the way "Between Yesterday and Tomorrow" makes me think about these things. The Bergmans are masters of words and this song reminds me of many Yentl´s songs where she asks questions about life and its mysteries...
"Somewhere" is a gem. It appealed to me so much that I had to try to illustrate the song somehow. The way Barbra sings it makes it for me an ecouraging source of optimism and ensurance that no matter where, no matter how, the good things WILL come one day.
Thank you for reminding me to listen to them again.
"Was it a dream what we lived, is it real what we plan to do tomorrow?"
There is a whole lot in that little sentence.
Think about that. That twist on the reality of our known dimensions. The past was actually lived by us- but it seems like it was a dream, and what we plan to do tomorrow (which is NOT reality, seems so real). Maybe we are living in all these realities and dimensions at once; past, present, future- but it is just an illusion it is on a linear continuum.
Einstein proved there were more than 13 dimensions. That is why I believe in the string theory of quantum physics- it's like a symphony, everything is playing in harmony and very dependent on the others (realities). Every space, molecule, atom, is in perfect harmony in frequency waves like a giant sheet of music (except it's like a halogram)- and even colors emit sounds like music notes. Maybe these are the high frequency notes from her tinnitis that Barbra hears that we can't hear with our human ears. I also think I heard that she has a musical range a few octives above the normal. (I dont know, you know, you don't know whether to believe stuff you hear or not).
Sometimes the words to their (the Bergmans) songs reflect these images and truths to me.
