I can just hear in her voice such deep suffering. This song is even more heart felt because after so many years of singlehood, Bernadette had the very tragic loss of her beloved husband in a plane crash. So what we are all experiencing is the true pain she is feeling about his unexpected death. The great anger for him leaving her. It is like a knife cutting you each time she sings, “I Think About You”. What a trooper.

The characteristic break in the voice just adds to the pathos of this fabulous rendition

This is the best broken love song ever written. I can't believe that there was a time I felt like this.

[@lindaname9413]

Like living in a fog, and never seeing your way out.

Remembering Stephen Sondheim who died on Friday November 26th at the ripe age of 91. I have 3 favorite songs he wrote and this is one of them. I also love the show Follies. Thank you Mr. Sondheim for all the songs and the shows you left behind.

[@dmm9714]

I always think this lyric is a work of genius.

[@hardingtess42]

it is and the genius is named Stephen Sondheim

[@gigachadlefemoid2790]

he died a legend.

Divino Sondheim ❤️

[@rachelport3723]

I've watched 5 or six of her performances of this song, and each one is a gem, and each is unique. Her voice does so much but in this version, I love the position of her arms, as if she is literally holding herself together, until almost the end. Brilliant.

[@vicswift2439]

This song is just a big gut punch, the lyrics and melody have been haunting me since I discovered this song about 6 months ago. Especially 'You said you loved me or were you just being kind?'

[@jenniferschillig3768]

Anybody else here from "Knives Out"? (It's that song Benoit Blanc was singing along to his earbuds in the car. Daniel Craig's got a nice singing voice, unlike some other James Bonds I could mention.)

[@leilaniwynn]

Jennifer Schillig my vocal teacher pointed that out today in class 😂

[@leewitten4758]

yes. I just watched everything great about knives out, and was so taken a-back when I realized he was singing Sondheim. I haven't seen Follies, I am a bad BAD man!

[@exerciserelax8719]

I missed that! Gotta watch it again!

[@AlicedeTerre]

Yes and I was positively ecstatic when he did! 😂

[@robins1016]

She just breaks my heart the way she sings this.

[@dusteverywhere2665]

she makes it seem so effortless. this performance is a true gem.

[@mmjhcb]

What a performance! No one sings this better, let alone as well. She tears your heart out with a real voice, real diction, real technique, and complete internalization. I type this through prolific tears! THIS is singing!

[@MarkBrinkerhoff]

I absolutely love, LOVE, love! that she goes up at the end (when all other renditions go down), not to mention the xylophone. Bravo.

[@robertstott8243]

It’s quite nice that only 66 thousand of us have seen this version.

[@johnmcalonan7968]

It is a work of genius yet so simple, "Not going left, not going right". I always dim the lights to listen to it.

[@ritaandrunt5767]

Gosh she just has a way to make a song sound so beautiful and well if anyone deserves to be praised for such an interesting way to sing songs such as this it's her that deserves to be praised as such no body else can sing it quite like her witch is a good thing cause well let's face it when it comes to famous female singers who actually have great sounding voices ms Bernadette peters herself is one of those lovely lady's graced with such beautiful hair and a gorgeous look braced upon her it really makes us all think wow she's got the voice to sing annything better then anyone else ever could also not going to lie but she looks great in everything that I've seen her in so far let's hope she stays like this forever cause if she did that would be sweet as candy annyways though long live ms Bernadette peters the queen of brodway

[@thedentalhygenie392]

My favorite interpretation ❤️

[@michelleb.5802]

...for me , its the wiping away of that tear at the end ...Rest With the Angles Sir ...

[@lizaelliott6862]

I didn't know this was a sondheim song! I'm so used to the electrosynth version that Liza did with the pet shop boys. No wonder it's so good.

[@christopherandrus7592]

The upbeat version of this song just doesn't fit the mood of the lyrics like the slow version does IMHO.

[@joaocampelo3725]

Love the piano notes at the end! Fabulous rendition

[@carr0760]

That's a xylophone. LoL

[@bigbrownsound]

Fabuloso!

[@jadezee6316]

i hope not very many people can identify with this.....there simply is no other pain in life that compares to it.....and it is not defined by just the end of a love affair...we are talking about the feeling ...losing my mind.....not what caused it...

[@manthasagittarius1]

Most people can identify with it, to some extent, because all lives have to undergo loss. It's the loss of control your concentration suffers in a grief reaction, whether it's a death or a breakup. It feels like going crazy, and then there's the pain you can't escape either.

[@micaylab1]

It's interesting that Bernadette and Tim Curry were once co stars and they've both covered the same song.😳🎤

[@michaelyarwasky1787]

One of the things that makes this song, so exceptional is it similarity to Sergei Rachmaninoff’s piano concertos. In particular, I am thinking of 1-3 if I’m not mistaken. Anyway, you can hear that lilting rhythm where it builds on itself with these heavy, lush, sentimental cords. And it builds and it builds, and it seems like it almost can’t keep pace with itself because The pathos is too big for the score. Best songwriter of the 20th century and its not even close

[@RHINOWINOLUNATIC]

RIP Sondheim

[@caddiebrown8565]

I've done the role of Sally, professionally, numerous times. Bernadette is wonderful...but...amazingly, she did miss the key change in the last verse. Kudos to the orchestra, for dropping out and almost immediately changing keys to accommodate her. Genius, all the way around.

[@charliebaker5499]

Wasn’t this right after she lost her husband?

[@lindaname9413]

yes, and how heartbreaking.

[@raphaelrenner96]

Amo essa mulher. Adoro o último mind que ela faz nessa música, ela faz uma nota muito bonita. Mas percebi que 2000 pra cá a voz dela tem ficado mais fraca :(

INSTEAD OF THE LYRICS, “I WANT YOU SO,” SHOULD HAVE BEEN, “I LOVE YOU SO”…

[@markbob120]

She is no Marin Mazzie!

[@markbob120]

There is a reason Sonheim chose Marin Mazzie to sing this song at his 80 birthday celebration. Watch it and you will see the ultimate version.

[@susanlandsman9572]

I totally agree with you a thousand times!

[@emcd6707]

agreed! mazzie is unbeatable. peters is stronger at not a day goes by!

I’ll add Imelda Staunton . The best yet

Not the right song for her.
