My wife passed away just before Thanksgiving 2022. But just a few days before she could sing through her bi-pap mask. It was high pitched and hard to hear her, but we made out what she was singing -- this song. I never remember hearing her sing it before, but on this occasion it was angelic in message and passion. So sweet.. I pray I'll never forget. Thank you Donna Fargo.❤

Yes music is a gift from God. He asked me to write The Book of Nicholas for HIM in 2003/04. I did not know that it would be a book about the future of where i live. So that i could show Him on paper he disguised himself as a happy clown and introduced me to this song. He is my funny face and makes me laugh even during a lot of pain. He also loves Jim reeves and Elvis and dolly as well as many others

I love this song so much I was a preteen when this song came out can I sing it all the time we had a little pizza joint where kids can go up to age 18 and sing and I did this song every single Friday night everybody loved it and Rose Garden I was born and raised on country but I also love poker and a little bit of rock and roll but I was basically raised with country I think the reason that I cleaned the country is because it's true feelings that come from the heart there's not too many country western songs that are canned music because country western music comes from the heart and soul it's a sadness and the happiness and the joy that we once felt or that we're feeling that's what comes through in our music so God bless everybody who sings country music but God bless everybody else who doesn't just as well cuz I love all music all music makes me happy

How come America had so many top class country singers? Love them all.

[@gamewizard1760]

This kind of country died out in the 90's. A prime example of the earlier era would be Barbara Mandrell. She chose to retire rather than cave to demands of record producers that she completely revamp her entire act. Marty Stuart still manages to hang on as a survivor of that earlier era, but there aren't many like him anymore.

[@stephaneouellette7943]

I totally agree with you.That new country music is crap.

Joseph Burke...Real country music seemed to have imploded in the early 90's along with everything else like car designs,clothing,movies and especially rock n roll.

I met a very special young man in 1971, when this song came out he would sing it to me and tell me he loved me. I married someone else in 1974 and I always wonder what my life would have been like if I had married him instead. He died in 2009, and I dream about him pretty often, especially when I'm going through tough times. I like to think he is still near me and I am still his funny face. Maybe we will be together in another life. ❤

I remember this song from my childhood, my Momma would listen to it . When I grew up and got married I used to call my wife funny face and introduced her to it and would sing it to her .... I lost her 3 years ago after 20 years of marriage, now when I hear this song it makes me sad but at the same time puts a smile on my face.....I love and miss you Charmin Hassell. R.I.P. Funny face

My favorite part of this song is that I wish I had a wooden heart and a sawdust mind then your memory wouldn't come are hurting me all the time . This is what you feel when you are mentally bothered by your family. THANKS TO THE FAMILY THAT HAS SEEK THESE FEELINGS THAT I WASN'T LOOKING FOR.

This was my Mamas song for me. Since I was a baby she had called me her little Funny Face. It was a life long thing that became my most dear and precious memory of her. So strange the night of her service she called me on the phone and when I answered I heard her say in the happiest voice from her I had heard in a long time, " Hello, Funny face! How are ya? " I swear, in the dream I laughed out loud in relief and some sort of half hysterical mingled grief and joy. She was alright. My Mama was alright and she knew her little Funny face needed that call, needed to hear her say that this one last time. Music is the single most beautiful gift ever bestowed upon humanity. It survives and transcends even death to comfort and to heal, to touch places in the heart that only it can. Mostly, though, music is alive, always.

Kindred soul, just was reminded of my Mom, too. Special women told their daughters through music that we mattered.

I was born in 1970, my Mom passed over in 2001.

@@atruefaith6498 Mama died in 2009. She left me a wealth of great comfort through the music we both loved, laughed, and cried to. If you don't mind I would like to share just one more sweet memory of her. Now, my Mama also had a huge crush on Freddy Fender. Something I realized one night when he performed live on the Midnight Special, or was it Saturday Night Live? I can't remember. No matter, lol, what mattered was how she chose me to yank out of bed at the age of 12 when the magical hour arrived for him to sing, and the light shining from her eyes that matches the little girl excitement in her voice. "Funny Face!" she shouted " Get up baby! You have to watch Freddy Fender with me! Oh! I hope he sings 'Ill Be There Before the Next Teardrop Falls' it's his latest and my favorite!" Wait. What? What was a Freddy Fender and where was he singing? I soon found out. He was amazing. My Mama loved him and his music all of her life. It broke my heart to leave an Eng Lit 2 class one day to tell her of his death. Her eyes filled with tears but as for an old and dear friend. Someone who she turned to for comfort when my Dad had hurt her in some way. When I told her his real name was Baldemar Herrera we both laughed till we cried at that great distinction between names . I would never have realized he was not simply Freddy Fender. Nor she. He would always be Freddy Fender to us. Anyway, that was the day my Mama chose to write me a letter because I had been showing signs of such terrible sadness at her own declining health and she worried for me. We were very very close. In the letter she told me she knew of my sadness but that after she was gone, when I found myself grieving too horribly, being too sad, that I should just think about her dancing in Heaven with Freddy Fender while a heavenly choir played his songs. I sat down and bawled like a damn baby when I read those precious words from the very soul of my wonderful little Mother. What angel in heaven had whispered that perfect response to the agony she knew I was feeling already, and the PAIN I would be in, the level catastrophic, after she passed, to cause her to write that simple little line of thought to bring comfort and solace, just pure spiritual meaning, a connection between her heart and mine? It was absolutely the only thing that she could have said in it's perfection. I never forgot, either, to remember always that my Mama danced in Heaven with Freddy Fender and her Funny Face had the only front row seat. The love between a Mother and her child transcends even death. In my ❤️ heart she lives on. Eternal. Like the almost living presence that music must surely be, so too is the presence felt of the one we loved within the infinite ties of boundless grace and love unending that are the only true characterization of music. I'm so sorry. I had a great need to share something of such importance and meaning to me, something in which I have faith immeasurable. May your days, all, find blessings, and your nights that certain peace of more value than sea coffers of gold.

[@atruefaith6498]

Never apologize for feeling grief and knowing there is a connection beyond time with your Mom. Thank you for sharing with me. I am Tracey, age 52. I am sincere in my empathy. I think we have much in common. My mother also loved Freddy Fender. Despite not being well-off, we had a console and a stack of records. My Mom made music a priority. Thank you for sharing with me. My Mom died on Dec. 2nd and had pre-bought gifts, so Christmas is always tough. May God bless you and yours!
