In 1988, my two buddies and I went to see "Beaches" at the theater. Not a guy movie, but we'd seen just about everything else, and it was playing at the dollar show. One of the guys was my cousin, and his brother had passed away at just 40 a few months earlier. We cried and cried and cried, and not once did we feel "less manly."

[@randomlibra]

"Beaches" is amazing. Here's a secret: Some "chick flix" are soooo good. "Steel Magnolias" and "Fried Green Tomatoes" are very worth watching. And if you have never seen "The Color Purple", you should.

[@StoptheInsanityofRegressivism]

Friendship and love are universal. It's not a man or woman thing. It's a human thing. You guys' reaction to the movie reflects your very human hearts. You must all be pretty good guys!

When my friend left the army his men sang this to him, when he died at only 36 we played it at his funeral, I miss him and it's been over 20 years and I still cry when I hear this song. Miss you Charlie ❤️ xx

[@deatheater2936]

You should watch the movie. Beaches that's where that song was being sang. It was about the lost of her closest friend

[@littleaeros4063]

It's a good crying movie. I love that movie

[@StoptheInsanityofRegressivism]

This song is a key song in the wonderful movie Beaches". It's based on the novel by Iris Rainer Dart. Equally as good. But after "Beaches" she also wrote "I'll Be There" the sequel to Beaches. It's about what happens with C.C. and Whitney's daughter. It is every bit as funny and heartbreaking as Beaches. Yes, you must watch Beaches. Have tissues handy. You'll laugh, you'll cry but you'll never be sorry you watched it. Great reaction sweet lady!

[@rodlaight447]

My lovely wife, Lynne, sang with the Primrose Choir for over fourteen years, she had a tremendous voice but was so humble and shy. She died with cancer October 21. Lynne loved this song and sang it to me most weeks before choir practice every Wednesday night. She said it was our song and I was her hero, the choir sang it for me a few weeks ago and it was beautiful and so emotional. Thank you Bette Midler.

[@CDO1113]

We played this at my mom’s funeral because it exactly describes the way she sacrificed to put us first. Every time I hear this song, I just sob.

[@derekdparker]

You must watch Beaches. Bette is an oscar nominated actress as well. She can do it all comedy, drama and everything in between!! A true superstar.

[@randomlibra]

My mom is currently lying in a hospital bed with a broken hip and a broken elbow. She thought she died in surgery. I am broken and this song just pushed me over the edge, AND then KSO cried and I am done :(

[@itsharmie7957]

My grandma passed away yesterday morning. She loved this song and dedicated it to her sister, who she was very close with and who passed away in the late 90s. Its funny that you reacted to this song just a day after her passing. I will always think of her when I hear this song, because I know how much it meant to her. I love and miss her so much, but I'm happy that she's reunited with her sister and family in heaven ❤

[@SincerelyK.S.O.]

So sorry for your loss hunni.

[@CuzKatieSaysSo]

I'm so sorry for your loss. 💔 Joy and happiness and the good memories will come back to fill your heart, but for now, it's an unwelcome road you must travel down, there's nothing for it but to take the journey. And there many triggers, like this song, that can catch you off guard. Be sure to take good care of you.

[@itsharmie7957]

@@CuzKatieSaysSo that was beautifully said, and is exactlywhat I am feeling. Thank you so much for your kindness, it means a lot to me 💛

[@theresareynolds3133]

When I hear this song, I think of my dad, he was actually my stepdad, but he married my mom and took us 4 kids and raised us like we were his own, he served time in Vietnam, but he came home to us. He's 78 and still going strong, I don't know how he got through it, but he married a brother a year younger then me in 2017 and my middle brother is 2018, out of 5 kids 3 of us are left, my sister was born when I was 22 lol. He's always been my hero.

[@kimberleyjohnson6120]

I always think of my most precious mother when I hear this.. she’s been gone 22 years and I miss her every day.. so beautiful..

[@muse9050]

This is my song to my mum xx always had my back and lifted me, inspired me and loved me unconditionally. She truly was the most amazing person I ever knew, I was so privileged to have had her as my mum. So your reaction really resonated with me and moved me to the core x I lost her recently and miss her so.. She was the wind beneath my wings for sure x and still in now,.. even though she's no longer here x

[@marycostley77]

If you are crying with this video, you need to watch the scene where the song is played in the movie. After you watch the portion of the movie with the song; you will ball your eyes out.

[@heathermcteer9581]

I do not care how long this song has been out, it makes me cry every time! Bette Midler is amazing

[@ryanfeit1420]

To this day I can't get over how this did not even get nominated for an Oscar for best song. It would have won if it were nominated for sure. The movie is wonderful. Bette Midler got most of the attention for the movie but Barbara Hershey had the best performance in "Beaches". She was phenomenal in this film. She and Bette Midler play so well off of each other. A must see movie and a great, great song.

[@vegasbaby3669]

@Ryan Feit - The reason why this song wasn’t nominated for an Oscar for Best Song this particular year (1988) is because it didn’t qualify. The Best Song category rules state that the music/lyrics must be originally composed during the nomination year. Unfortunately, for the Beaches movie, ‘Wind Beneath My Wings” song is an older song, that was remade, and covered by Bette Midler, for this movie, thereby making the song ineligible to compete for Best Song at the Oscars that 1988 year. But I do agree, if the song could have been nominated, it no doubtlessly, would have won. But that’s why it wasn’t nominated.

[@defaultname4102]

Totally agree

[@alanashy3514]

​@@vegasbaby3669how did you find that?

[@elizabethgari4909]

You may want to view the video of Bette Midler singing this in Yankee Stadium to the families who lost their loved ones and also the surviving first responders who were in the stadium stands. It's gorgeous and heart wrenching at the same time. Her love and sympathy as she sang to them is beautiful. You don't have to react to it but you may wish to watch it .

[@WobblyBiped]

Just about everyone has had a person beneath their wings - a parent, partner, or other person who has always been their cheerleader. If they're lucky, they've had several of these magic people. Midler's voice just soars. In her younger days, she did back up with Barry Manilow. I'm glad that you reacted to her, because she doesn't get nearly enough attention on reaction channels. Cheers to you!

[@nickfiorenza5930]

Yes, that is so true. We lost our beloved mom, one year ago. Our mother everything in this world to us. We know mom, is flying in heaven, not suffering anymore and at peace. This song is our mom 100%. Miss you so much mom. We all love you so much. RIP-MOM.

[@katherinenobles5034]

Actually, Barry Manilow was her accompanist. They are still friends.

[@ronniehayes178]

I don't know how you wouldn't cry hearing this song. No one can do it justice as Bet midler. Your the best, you still are. Hope in my life I some day see her live.

[@robertasirgutz8800]

What a beautiful song. Bette Midler is such a great song stylist. I tear up every time I hear it.

[@trgoohileshea2820]

I've said this a thousand times; this makes a thousand and one. Bette Midler is the very rare artist who can literally squeeze every single ounce of emotion out of every single note that comes out of her mouth. Not many people have that ability. That is what makes her one of the greats. A few years after this, she was the final guest on Johnny Carson's Tonight Show where she sang One more for my Baby. She not only made Carson (and the entire viewing audience) cry, but she won an Emmy for it.

[@kimberlinibambini1988]

Hey Kemi! This is from the movie “Beach’s .” Beautiful and sad all in one- - I highly suggest it for your movie list-❤️

Had this performed at my Mom’s funeral. We only knew for 17wks she was sick and she was only 58yo. Next year I will be her age. All these many years later, I think the most surprising thing about my mother’s death may be how raw it can sometimes still be😔 Thank you, thank God for you, Mama- You are the wind beneath my wings. Thank you for this beautiful reaction. Godspeed❤️ Stay safe & love much💖

[@cathyhudnall6742]

My mom passed away 10/28/92 at the young age of 58. This was the first song that came to mind while reluctantly planning her funeral and the soloist sang it BEAUTIFULLY. Sitting here listening at the age of 59, I'm transported right back to age 29 boohooing right there with you. Hopefully, you'll be reunited with yours soon! Peace and blessings be with you and your family. ❤

[@DeannaAKADeanna]

You should see the movie "Beaches" in which she performs this song at the end. It is about best friends who met in childhood (they were so cute) and remained best friends. I saw it and heard this song not long after I lost my best friend at the time and it made me just lose it. I still cry when I hear it all these years later. What a beautiful song and she makes it that way with her powerful, but controlled voice and the feelings she can convey!

[@floridahiker1503]

This song used to make me happy but now it makes me sad. I'm glad KSO is doing more music videos. Music is so important in my life.

[@celinhabr1]

This song is so beautiful and the movie this one was made for is so touching, it's about best friends, if you want to watch, it's called "Beaches" ( 1988), with Bette Midler also in the lead with Barbara Hershey. It's sadly a bit forgotten now, but it shouldn't be.

[@johnd8892]

This song had quite a history with success around the world in the six years before this cover in the movie and the bigger name of Bette Midler got an even bigger audience for the song.

[@jmrx12]

that is a huge understatement.

[@GinaGeeILuvu]

This song always makes me cry! This song is from the movie, Beaches, which is a tearjerker about the friendship of two women who were best friends! It reminds me of my mom and it was one of her favorite movies and it reminds me of my oldest sister, I looked up to both of them and they played a major part of shaping the women I am! I love them both! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Love this song I have the CD with this song and I loved the movie, great Story telling, Then in 2020 I found Morissette Amon covering this song on a mothers day concert with her mother sitting in the front row crying, and she started to cry while singing and it reminded me of the day I lost my mother and her hugs 17 years ago, Missing you mum, will always Love you.

My youngest son who is 38 told me I was his hero a few weeks ago and my heart burst with so much love, ( that I’ve always had for my kids) . What a gift!♥️ He’s my hero as a wonderful father to his daughter and as our son. And he has always been our joy as have our other kids. It’s a beautiful song and Bette does a lovely job performing it. It’s amazing thinking that your child thinks you are their hero. Thanku God for our children and grandchild.🙏🏽🥰💙💖

[@EriElle0625]

Youre so insightful ❤️ This is the song from Bettes classic movie “Beaches.” it’s about a lifelong friendship between Bette “Cece” and her BFF “Hillary,” played by Barbara Hershey. It is everything!!! You should definitely watch on your movie channel. This movie is over 30 yo but just like song it is absolutely timeless and BEAUTIFUL.

[@TheDivayenta]

There’s video of her singing this to the first responders from 9/11 shortly after the tragedy. - she’s amazing live!

[@fricky11111]

Pinkard and Bowden wrote a version called " Wind beneath my Sheets"

[@taniaPBear]

Oh Kemi, you must watch 'Beaches', Bette stars in this alongside Barbara Hershey. Such a beautiful film of a lifelong friendship, with all the highs and lows that go with that. Lovely reaction , and now I'm going to think of my mother whenever I hear it, she's still alive but she has Alzheimer's and hasn't known who I am for about six years now. Life can be harsh, so you have to embrace the beautiful things when you find them.

This is a great song and Bette sings it beautifully. The first version of this song I heard was by country legend Lee Greenwood, a little different ,probably more emotional, if you can believe that .... :)

[@joyparry9354]

Your reaction is so heartfelt .... this song is beautiful & it can relate to anyone in your life that is important. I understand how it makes you think about your Mum - I also feel like that, but I also went to a funeral where it was played because it meant so much to the bereaved husband. Wonderful, wonderful song ...

Such a special song for many people for many reasons.....

[@eskayh7734]

Hugs to you sis. You'll see her soon, things are not as bleak as they once were finally. I miss my mom too, all the time. she's been deceased for 10+ years now. I grew up hearing this song quite a bit on the radio (my mom used to leave it on the kitchen at a low volume during the night, on the easy listening station). Bette's pretty cool as a person too.

[@Marcus-Oh-really-yes]

Beautiful song! The powerful words can definitely remind us of someone important in our lives, like a parent, sibling, friend or romantic partner. The first time I heard this song was on Sheena Easton's 1982 album "Madness, Money and Music." In the 1988 tearjerker movie "Beaches," starring Bette Midler and Barbara Hershey as friends since childhood, Bette recorded this version for the sountrack and it became a huge hit, including No. 1 in the U.S. and Australia, No. 3 in Canada and No. 5 in the U.K. Songwriters Larry Henley and Jeff Silbar won the Grammy for song of the year and Bette Midler won the Grammy for record of the year for this song in 1989. Here's Sheena's 1982 version from a TV special. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJ-1pXSCbtKjpNU

[@cocoapeach]

This song came from a movie, Beaches, which starred Bette Midler and it was about 2 best friends. It was a beautiful movie.

[@johnd8892]

This Bette Midler cover used in the movie introduced the song to many who had not heard other versions in the six years previously. About ten earlier versions.

[@haydendegrow945]

When I had to move away from my hometown for a job, and I knew I was not going to be back very often, I played this song for my best friend on our last hangout night together. He had been beside me through the highest of highs and lowest of lows in my life, and was the one man I could always rely on to have fun, make memories, and be there for me. Having to move away was the toughest part of our friendship, but when I played this song, I told him that everything in the song was true for the two of us. It was the first time I had ever left him speechless. Right afterwards, I told him that our friendship would never die. I had already lost friends due to my moving, and I was not looking forward to reliving the experience. This was the song that steeled our friendship for the long months of being away from each other, and always makes me smile for my friend. The original movie, "Beaches", is all about friendship, and the trials and tribulations that come with it. Thank you for playing this song.

[@GoodStuffForeverMore]

So moving to watch your reaction to this evocative video. Bette Midler definitely knows how to deliver a song and tug at your heart strings. Sending much love💞

[@valogden]

Two Bette Midler movies you should watch are Beaches that this song comes from and The Rose that was loosely based on Janis Joplin and had the song The Rose. Both beautiful. For a singer I don't think you have watched and is probably the best male voice out there now is Adam Lambert. I suggest watching him singing Cher's song Believe to Cher at The Kennedy Center Awards. It's beautiful! Once you hear him though he is very addictive. He's so good the band Queen chose him to be their front man and he has been touring with them for 10 years now. I suggest watching him singing Who Wants to Live Forever with Queen + Adam Lambert at the Isle of Wight in 2016... it's incredible!

Oh hun 🤗 Gets to you doesn’t it, a tearjerker that tugs at the heartstrings. UK singer and actor Stephen Houghton did a nice male version, his character in the drama series London’s Burning performed it, then it was released as a single. Lovely words. More recently, the Utah vocal harmony trio Gentri did a nice kind of mash up of it with another song You Say with their singing friends to pay tribute to their mums on Mothering Sunday 🥰

[@14gilbertst]

You might enjoy the music of Tuck & Patti. Back in the late '80s they were popular with my friends. Their song, 'Tears of Joy', will put a smile on your face!

Mayim Bialik (Blossom and Big Bang Theory) plays Midler's character as a child in Beaches. Feisty little thing. Good movie.

[@brooklyndestiny446]

Yes this song gets me every single time I hear it it was actually written for her best friend who passed away if you’ve never seen the movie Beaches you need to watch the movie it is such an amazing movie and the reason it’s such an amazing movie is because it’s a true story it’s almost like a biopic in through the whole movie you see everything through Bette Midler‘s eyes but this song really sums up everything about the movie basically I could be famous but at the end of the day the real reason I’m so strong is because of you whether that be your mom your dad your best friend your brother your sister that one person that gets you through everything that’s what this song sums up is that you mean so much to me and through the whole movie you see everything you see all the ups and downs of Bette Midler being famous but when he gets to the end is win this song really just shows everything and shows that even though she was famous that stuff really didn’t even matter when it came to her and her best friend she would do anything for her best friend he’s really have to watch the movie

Yes , since the very first time I heard this song when was released, it touched my heart, it is and will be always my one of my favorites. ❤️‍🔥

wow this song is special to me. My sister and I had a difficult childhood but we got through, and on the night before her wedding she gave me this song on a cassette and told me it was exactly how she felt about me. Very special song for so many people for many different reasons 🥰

In the video the two little girls become friends. One is the Bette character. They remain friends for years. And the woman who is Bette's friend dies in the movie. It's a sad movie but very good. Bette's friend gives her custody of her daughter after she dies at the end.

I don't have any sisters, so I didn't really get how much this song meant until I had a daughter. Everything is so different. Making her feel happy and beautiful and loved is so much more important than anything else. Now I know how hard my mom worked on making me feel confident and proud. She almost never spent anything on herself, and it was only if there was something left over after she took care of me. I didn't appreciate it then the way that I do now. I pray that someday my daughter has a baby of her own, so that she knows this kind of love.
