Jason Gould - Interview December 2021 "Dark Grey Skies"

Antony Beilinsohn asks Jason Gould about life, music, and his famous mother in this candid exchange.

[@barbrastreisand]

My gifted son. I’m so proud of him… not just as a mother but as a wonderful musician and fine singer.

[@barbraevergreen]

💗💗💗

[@maggieblyth2077]

He is very talented and gifted. Over the years watching your shows that Jason would attend you could see the love and pride ooze from you. I love his singing but not as much as yours 😁. Sorry Jason!

[@jamessandy5873]

"Barbra Streisand" of all people is praising her son in a very poorly written comment on KZbin that makes her sound like a narcissistic jackass?? As P.T. Barnum said, "There's a sucker born every minute."

[@barbraevergreen]

@@jamessandy5873 What are you talking about? You creep ! 🤣

[@AlexanderNovak0]

I just found his work and speaks volumes to me. Love the atmosphere he creates.

[@sandramndelson3114]

His voice is distinctive, soft yet powerful, a truly gifted vocal talent

[@lyndafaye6748]

Thank You , Jason:The music comes from the great beyond".... Yes Jason, the music is sitting out there in the ethers, and you were selected, as was your mom" Both of you "grabbed it" and "made it your own." Then you inherited that ability to blend what you were given, with what your mom touched , with beautiful harmonies and emotional interpretations. Had Barbara not been blessed with her abilities, you probably would have become "you" regardless....Surely DNA helped too. Beautifully done! I hope you continue writing . Sincerely, The "Music Lady at Meadow Oaks School" Victor Cook tried to introduce us, but you were just so busy having fun! LyndaFaye "One Enchanted Evening, I Found an Old Friend" by Ana Marie Ceuca, French & Italian; "Sometimes You Really Hurt my Feelings" w / violinist Teiju Okubo and "I Still Remember You" (FredGold&LyndaFaye) "Where Where You?" (or "Man on the Run"- a good duet for you and your mom?!) LyndaFayeSmusic@Yahoo Go ahead, write us-It'll Make Our Day!

[@mickmaloy]

Something to be said about Barbra as a mother: she loved her son unconditionally. Many don't have that. Every concert, she always mentions her son Jason. Such pride and love there.

[@jackmason4029]

As long as I was a fan, darling Miss Streisand never, ever, mentioned her son. She was an actress for awhile. She had the gift of pulling wool over people's eyes. You don't become an international recording artist, a Broadway star, and a movie star, being nice. She was an actress. That mother schtick was just hot air used to soften her edges, when she got older. She was notorious for her stage fright, and did not do concerts for many, many, decades. That Mommie, Dearest stuff was only added when she did that very, very, very expensive come-back tour. That's when she became a "doting" mother.

[@jackmason4029]

She was so proud of her son, she made him an extra in her movies. On one set, when she was everything including the director (vanity production X ten), she called out with her loud microphone to the cast and crew, "Come on Jason. Stop being such a fag." Loving mother? Puke!

[@melisaez]

🙄

[@sewgatormomm]

@@jackmason4029You are not only dead wrong, you are intentionally being malicious. Do better.

[@akrenwinkle]

@@sewgatormomm I'm on Team @jack. The more that was revealed about some of Barbra's nasty habits (don't look directly at her, for one), the more she incorporated Jason into her schtick. She's hardly the only one. Judy Garland, Frank Sinatra, Lucille Ball, Jerry Lewis, and really going back, Bing Crosby and Joan Crawford, were awful parents but used their kids to impart a wholesome quality to their images. But, of course, anyone who doesn't see things your way is being untruthful and malicious.

[@donnarmills9902]

Wow! First time I ever heard Jason sing or discuss his life. What a lovely voice in a very thoughtful and lovely young man. BRAVO!👏🎶🙂

[@Twentythousandlps]

He's in his fifties.

[@gsvnj33128]

Agreed

[@alexisvorob305]

WOW, his singing is so beautiful ❤ !! Always love Barbra Streisand! She must be so proud!!🎉❤

[@HollyPettingFarm]

Jason is such a great guy. His honesty about his life experiences and feelings is refreshing.

[@khongmaithikhog5624]

@Jason Gould ♪ I'm a fan of your mom. Funny girl is my favorite movie. Hello from Vietnam

[@khongmaithikhog5624]

@Jason Gould ♪ well do you have email or twitter. I'd to contact you as a male friend. I also love movies and would like to discuss them with you

[@mclaurinisGODsSon2]

I like how he believes in what's on the other side. He is really speaking like he is a good God fearing human.

[@barbarafischbach8480]

You did great Barbra. He’s your greatest production❤️

[@loril7919]

Loved this interview and loved hearing you sing, Jason. Just lovely.

[@charleshudson5330]

He's really good. The first time I've heard him sing and I'm impressed.

[@stevemattfis]

I'm taken back by his candor, earthiness, honesty and character. His talent seems a natural outcropping of his own investment instead of the expectations of others. The subtlety of his control is beautiful and his natural gentleness comes through in his song. Every singer has an imbedded character, Judy Garland had a tangible fragility, Bernadette Peters has a natural sexuality, Mel Torme had quiet confidence and Jason has a gentle but powerful heart. If there is anything surprising here it is the few number of people who are aware of this video or his music.

Like mother, like son. Such great voices. Truly a gift from God.❤

[@lisagarrett6966]

What an amazing person you are Jason !! I got chills. I Love your voice, and songs. You are extraordinary. Own it and Fly !!

[@irismorio110]

Jason, I love your voice. You are a great artist. Can't wait wait to hear more of your albums. Your voice is so so soothing. Please keep making beautiful music.

[@pammeyer8071]

Iris Mario I agree hope he does love Jason so glad two of my Fabio team people made such a beautiful person

[@karenfitzgerald6308]

What a gorgeous, voice, Jason, and what an amazing duet you did with your mother...and you're speaking about death...such a thoughtful and important topic. What a lovely interview.

[@mjvphx]

Such a grounded individual, first-class, and a great interview!!!

[@frankt722]

Intriguing person. Beautiful voice. I'm glad he has done this interview.

[@cynthiahawkins2389]

He was born with a kind of tough assignment - and you cannot pick your parentage. But he navigates it with a gracious manner, his own personality, and self-awareness. Most appealing. And those attributes make him the individual that he is...

[@misterjones30044]

Your voice gives me chills just like your Mother. Thanks for giving us the music inside🏳️‍🌈

[@hubcitygirl1757]

I’m so glad I happened on this video! Jason has a gorgeous tone .

[@krisgi00710]

What a pure voice, and it's powerful as well. Thank you for being brave, Jason, and sharing your light.

[@claireoconor7986]

Jason is obviously incredibly talented, gorgeous voice but what impresses me even more about him while listening to this interview is what a lovely person he is, he exudes such kindness and loving energy.❤💚❤️

[@astrologyfirst4376]

So happy he found the courage to surrender to his creative soul. Now his music will live in eternity ♥️😊🙏 for all to enjoy 😊

[@stephenacs]

This is really a warm and very human interview.

[@rubengarza4304]

Wow…he didn’t let Hollywood take him…he was never a footnote in a celebrity obit…he is a wonderful human being and glad he is still in this world.

[@J0E-THEDOH]

Jason, you are a beautiful guy with a great voice, with exceptional, effortless musicality.

[@e.m.tanner179]

I've watched Jason blossom, professionally, since 'The Prince of Tides'. He's an amazing artist and you are justified to be so very proud of all he is. Much love to you both.

[@jodihertle5319]

And was he ever handsome in Prince of Tides.!! Still is, I named my son Jason after I heard Barbra has a son named Jason. That was 41 years ago I had a son. Yes, I'm that old. 😉

[@cynthiaennis3107]

OMHEAVENS! His voice is BEAUTIFUL!!! Like the male version of his mother’s! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@marleiseturner4689]

Oh my goodness…….Mr. Jason Gould, you gave me chills. Not just small “goosies” either. Absolutely Brilliant. Please keep singing. Now I am off to find your music ASAP💫

[@jessicabailey6792]

He really does have a beautiful voice. Very natural singer. Handsome, too.

[@paulaltman9751]

C'mon. Handsome??

[@vickikirks9959]

Such a sweetheart. Thank you for sharing. Many Blessings 💛

[@phyllispetras3369]

Dear Jason, One day after having a stroke in 2008, I could no longer sing. Or whistle. Or read, Or walk. Or play the piano. That frontal lobe was telling me, WHAT ELSE CAN YOU DO? I cried all day, then bit by bit got on with my life I kept thinking, I bet Ms Streisand could help me to learn to sing again. Fourteen years later, at 81, I can sing some bits in perfect pitch! Still cannot whistle!

[@Fiawordweaver]

Brilliant! Another year. Another listen. How lovely to have parents love and support their children. His voice is unique and beautiful 🎉

[@joannejordan8684]

Jason, you gave me goosebumps! What a tremendous gift for you and your mom!

[@dorenemadrzykowski8426]

I understand not wanting to be a public person, but so happy you give us glimpses of you. Great music, such talent. Your mother has every right to be the proud mom.

[@GinaGreenlee]

Wow. Good for him. That has to be nerve wracking on so many levels. That's precisely why he did it. To grow. Love it.

[@Sainbury]

More importantly than your music, you seem like a good human being.

[@charlesbronson7277]

Dear Jason, I just wanted to let you know how your first EP released in 2012 has helped me through a rough time. I had bought it at your mother's concert in Montréal on October 15th 2012 and couldn't stop listening to it, especially to the song HELLO. I loved its music, the arrangements and the atmosphere of it...not really focusing on the lyrics...until a month later when my brother committed suicide. At the moment, the words hit me like thunder, talking about the death of someone you didn't have the chance to say good-bye to. I must have listened to that song hundreds of time 'cause it was really describing what I was going through. It really helped me release all the emotions I was feeling during that dark time. I especially liked the bridge part of the song : "I'll meet you where the stars And the sun run out of sky Where the mem'ries of our lives collide Where the time will run away Where the moment never dies Forever you and I" That really connected me with my brother. So thank you very much to have dared offering a song approaching the theme of "death" which, like you said, will be something we'll all have to deal with at some point in our lives. I'm looking forward to listening to your DARK GREY SKIES album and DANGEROUS MAN which I didn't know had been an album following your first EP. So thank you again !

[@jodihertle5319]

How could you ever doubt that beautiful voice Jason? As another beautiful voice would say...your voice is like butta!

[@vlaw156]

Jason you have a beautiful voice and you are a beautiful young man - inside and out. God bless you sweetheart.

[@kyereCat]

He is indeed.

[@GrotrianSeiler]

He's so modest, so smart. Beautiful!

[@marthawoodworth]

Such a beautiful voice. Wow. He's obviously a man of substance, too. Love to hear more from him.

[@waynem7634]

Jason, Your philosophy for living is profound. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and your wonderful voice with all of us.

[@happyas]

What a beautiful voice. When he sang with his mother, what a dream team. ❤️

[@paulaltman9751]

He would be nowhere without his mother promoting him. Face reality.

[@laraoneal7284]

Jason has an INCREDIBLE voice and style all his own. He’s amazing. He leaves me with chills just like his mother. Brilliant.

[@sophierolier3414]

Dear Mister Gould, I love your voice, your music , your personal interpretation ! Whatever people like this or not , you have already won .... You are yourself at last ! Friendly, Sophie.

[@dorenerussell2668]

I looooooooove his voice

[@dr.aniasara7038]

A brave, gentle, and beautiful Soul.

[@KLeonardM]

Wow....I just cried my eyes out.....Jason is so nice!!! Humble, kind and intelligent,,,so much talent in this beautiful family. God bless you Jason

[@susanbensch1981]

BOTH Parents are talents, I have followed them over the years. Now, I have a third family member on my list. I do apprieated your voice. Thank you for sharing it with the world.

[@nancyjensen6324]

Wow! Just Wow! This interview shows a person who has so much to offer the world as a human being. His voice is wonderful, but I am touched by the person I see in the interview. To be so totally authentic as a person is so rare. I'm excited to listen to his music and learn more about the person he is. Thank you for a great interview.

[@SoAnna.]

He is so talented and humble ! Tonight i was kind of nostalgic so i searched for my two favorite songs of Barbra to sing my lungs out and a few tears and clics later here i am... What a great surprise to discover him. My mom would have loved this wonderfull duet 😊

[@stevenh.alpert5189]

For years people would come up to me and ask me if I was Jason Gould and I would say no and then they wouldn’t believe me! I didn’t know much about you except that you were the son of Barbra and Elliot. It is so refreshing to see what a well rounded, talented and grounded individual you have become, in you own right. I’m sure it must have been tuff to grow up in the lime light. Years later, I would see you out but was too shy to come up and tell you this…oh, and by the way my Mother’s name is Barbara too! Thanks for doing this interview Jason~

[@maureen5054]

What a GORGEOUS voice Jason has!!

[@cactusbound]

Love his comment. “I don’t want to die with the music still inside me “. I used to sing but circumstances in my life did not afford me to continue. Then you get older and as they say, “if you don’t use it you lose it” and I just lost it. In fact Barbra was my mentor and I was able to sing most of her music. My husband was over the moon with my voice. However, every time he hears one of her songs, he asks me to sing along and I just can’t anymore 😢 Jason has a beautiful voice.

[@patriciabuck835]

He's so sensitively articulate...lovely in every way!

[@saleemahfareed4790]

Jason have a beautiful voice and a wonderful singer 💜💙😊 4:27

[@ladonnabuehne1867]

Don't die with your music still in you. I will remember this all my life.

[@Joan-qh8lw]

Jason's a nice young man. Barbra must be proud of him, not only for his talent, but he seems grounded.

[@elizabethkusce2718]

Wow you are amazing in your own right, I’m sure your mom is so proud of you and what a beautiful song to sing with mom. You are so great I’m in amazement in tears. You are your mothers son and handsome as your father

[@rociobany290]

Wow ...he's got talent & enlightment ... how wonderful *

[@bvc-k2523]

Beautiful! Love both voices, separate and magically together. The pride of both these treasured performers is SO moving!

[@marjoriemoser3961]

I truly enjoyed this interview 💜 So real and down to earth.

[@shanenoel1270]

Jason! You don't have to think about living up to anything. You have gone above and beyond. Your voice is EPIC.....my goodness! Just WOW! U R a beautiful man and God has blessed you with an amazing talent. Please ....I hope U keep on singing. Don't deprive us of such a beautiful gift😍

[@oceanlover3530]

He seems like a kind and humble soul. Great interview! ✌🏻🙂✌🏻

[@SeaTravelr123]

Jason, thank you for sharing this. So great to see you in a natural element. Seems like you’re such a nice guy !!!! Continued success. Well deserved. 🎉🙏❤️

[@davidfrania8990]

The first time I heard "How Deep Is The Ocean", I thought, my God, this man has a fantastic voice. And now, judging from this interview, what a wonderful friend you must be to anyone who knows you. I know how proud of you your mother must be...And it's well deserved! Whenever I hear "How Deep..." I always think of my own Mother, who passed in 2006. There are so many times I still think of her, and it's not the big things that mean so much, but the smallest, simplest, sweetest things that I remember about her that bring out my deepest feelings. And that song says it all! Thank you so much for just being you! Take care.

[@andreaschneider6202]

I send you my deepest empathy about the demise of your mother🙏

[@fan1rundgren]

Many children of celebrities end up messing up in their lives. Jason reflects well on both his parents. More than being talented, he is well adjusted and emotionally mature. Kudos to Ms. Streisand and Mr. Gould.

[@pamgoldberg1182]

You should be sooo proud. Jason is handsome and talented. He's your apple that didn't fall far from the tree! Brilliant duet! ❤️

[@bruceallensullivan6532]

Thank you Jason for overcoming your fear of singing . Your Student Film you made I think I'm 3000 views of the 10.000 I love it. That took balls your music puts me in a place of peace this past 2 years iv over come cancer 100 clear and your soothing tones were perhaps a part of my recovery ...Thank you Jason

[@elizabethkusce2718]

You are so right about death, so many fear it because of the unknown. I embrace it to meet my maker and to ask questions , a lot of them lol. I’m Jewish too but I embrace the Tora with life and love just like mom made Yentle that was my fav movie your mom did.

[@rjcarter2904]

That was a wonderful interview. What a handsome, sweet, and thoughtful man he is. And he has the male voice of his mother--a male angel.

[@Davidcallard]

Jason, you keep comparing yourself to others. Don't do it! You have a great talent all your own so be proud and thankful for what you have been given to share with the world. Just remember it is all YOURS and no one else's. Now go forth and SING!

[@pianolady726]

What a lovely and articulate gentleman. He also has a beautiful voice.

[@robertacolarette1594]

I like his style. It’s good music. I also like that he likes to talk about spiritual, mystical things, like what’s on the other side. He’s a very open person.

[@dee_dee_place]

"September Song" & "Nature Boy" are my 2 most favorite Nat King Cole songs. You did a splendid job with "Nature Boy". Thank you.

[@kyereCat]

Nature Boy is so beautiful to listen to.

[@marlapeppymiller3641]

I just happened to come across this interview. I love your voice... I love what you have to say. You are wonderful and thank you. xoxo

[@laurietijerina3816]

Jason quit hiding yourself and sing! You have a beautiful gift,it would be sad for you to keep it to yourself. I would have loved to have what you have,please continue to sing,don't let it go! Don't let your shyness and insecurities or whatever it is keep you hidden from the world. Embrace your gift. The world is missing you. We need good talented people like yourself,there's alot of fakes out there,that think they can sing. We need you! 🤗 I've realized it was your moms birthday not too long ago, I like to say " Happy 80th Birthday Barbra " ,she's my 1#favorite singer! Many more Happy Birthdays to her! 🎂 🎈 🍾 🥂

Wow Jason you have a beautiful voice - share your gift it deserves to be heard - respect from Australia

[@jazzycafe5707]

What a lovely, wise, and humble soul. It can't remember how I came across Jason Gould's EP on KZbin a few years ago, but at first listen, his voice literally stopped me in my tracks from what I doing and I was absolutely mesmirized to the point of having to hear the entire project through before doing anything else. Not unlike his mother, who I've listened to since I was a small child , Jason is a timeless talent that I look forward to enjoying for many years to come.

[@marywesley6460]

What a humble and talented man--I love your music, Jason. There is also a sadness and world weariness about you--that is evident in your choice of song but also in the way you move beyond the superficial to the tough realities. From the Jewish scriptures--Ecclesiastes 7:2: It is better to go to a house of mourning than to go to a house of feasting, for death is the destiny of everyone; the living should take this to heart.

[@rclark1]

Absolutely beautiful Jason👍🏼 what an amazing voice you were so blessed with💖 Never give up🙏🏼♥️

[@bruceeven9942]

We don't see Jason that much in public or maybe it's just me. He was so eloquent, composed and thoughtful in this interview. Hopefully, we see more of him in the future.
