My mom loved this song. RIP miss you love you Mom

[@KimonSheri]

Mine too, Left me alone, In this zoo, I know, There's clowns

[@user-fd7sq6xq7j]

Timeless classic perfectly sung by Judy Collins. ❤️

[@nancysober1957]

I have always loved this song.

[@kathleenvitello6233]

According to Stephen Sondheim, the composer /writer: " I get a lot of letters over the years asking what the title means and what the song’s about. I never thought it would be in any way esoteric. I wanted to use theatrical imagery in the song, because she’s an actress, but it’s not supposed to be a ‘circus’. It’s a theater reference meaning ‘if the show isn’t going well, let’s send in the clowns’; in other words, ‘let’s do the jokes.’ I always want to know, when I’m writing a song, what the end is going to be, so ‘Send in the Clowns’ didn’t settle in until I got the notion, ‘Don’t bother, they’re here’ which means that ‘We are the fools. And, that’s the story."

Thanks for the comment.

[@williampotter2098]

Beautiful song. I always thought the meaning was obvious.

[@KimonSheri]

Look up Tartaria. I've met many clowns

[@starrfaithfull6934]

Having worked in professional theatre for my whole life, I can assure you this song isn't about circus clowns.

Bravo, I have loved this song since the late 70's when I first heard it.

[@user-zj1ft5tx5f]

Such a beautiful song. Judy's voice is magnificent.

[@rainbow2710]

A song that mirrors my current situation in life.

[@user-od1qi8fb2z]

Very meaningful song! In times of uncertainties , doubts rejection & frustrations, there is always at least someone who can understand & run to to cheer you up & take over while you're in limbo...

[@TokyoShemp]

AI still needs some work?

[@williampotter2098]

I wish Judy Collins had gotten more great material in her career. She just did mostly cover songs it seems. She had an amazing voice.

I remember hearing this in the car 🚗 with my mom I never thought a clown 🤡 could make your own cry 🤡🤡🤡🤡 I'm still crying til this day because there here a classic❤❤ ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@threemanthreeman5516]

a song of regret.

[@KimonSheri]

​@@threemanthreeman5516yep. That's what we get, Made the wrong bet, Worst one yet, I see the clowns, There are clowns. I went downtown, There was that clown, Smiling at me, With so much glee, I see the clowns. And then I frown, I'll just, Leave town.

[@teresagoldberg5371]

Clowns are sent in at the end of each act to entertain before the next performance. Makes perfect sense to an ending affair.

[@dikeledimhlongo5936]

My first time hearing this song and i like it. Had to listen cause its song of the year in the year I was born

[@craigtaylor5867]

beautiful song

[@scott-robertshenkman4130]

Quite possibly the greatest punch-in-the-gut song of Aaron time. God was he incredible. As it turns out. 91 years wasn't nearly enough. 😢

[@michaelmayes7757]

Beautiful

[@johncarter-bh5kp]

It’s about love and falling out and regrets of love lost by mistake

[@aanii2878]

IMO, the best version 😊. Would be nice if someone would put this in 432 hz 🙏

[@KimonSheri]

432 or 420?? Tastes like honey. Like a snow bunny, It's not funny

[@codedlAnguage]

Don't bother they're here. 🤒

[@Optasia22]

😊

[@KimonSheri]

Indeed. Always. Lights go out when I'm about.

[@terrygarcia897]

Well maybe next year.

[@aurelianomedeiros1533]

Linda!!!

[@streetsmartlaw]

Some reporters used to sing this song whenever the roll call was being made at the start of the session at the House of Representatives (Congress) 😅

[@williampotter2098]

You mean about the reporters? The media is our greatest obstacle.

[@KimonSheri]

Amen

It's sad. They HAD it right HERE. Threw it away for outside...

[@dennisdacanay7786]

The most SADDEST persons in the world are not of the poor,demoralized,or orphaned.Its those who are in the upper crust of society;the RICH.They may look happy content but once they are alone thats when the reality slams their face.Their ALONE

[@Wellch]

They’re alone.

[@williampotter2098]

Okay, if that makes you feel better.

[@MadDabber420]

You've obviously never struggled a day in your life.

[@williamwatkinson1696]

One this is an oxymoron you can't be the most saddest, learn English. Two unhappiness is not a monetary thing it can hit anyone

[@nomisnoxin]

This is the uk’s new national anthem

[@Jimo1956]

Ooooh, nice one. Actually I think you've got a point.

[@sheibanineda2488]

It can be the new French National Anthem with our new parliament and the state the country is in 😂😂

[@careyrowland]

Here you are in midair. . . quite "rich" yes. Send them in; I'm listening . . .

[@lynrainy9383]

Nice ❤

[@KimonSheri]

There up above, Flying like doves, Just where i though it was clear, They reappeared, Following me here, Following there, Where i look up, There everywhere, I see the clowns, There are the clowns, Leave me alone, Im old and grown, These clowns just won't leave me alone, I see the clowns, I know there's clowns

[@humanlifeforce]

I love this song. Only there are a few misused question marks in the lyrics.

[@roddyelee]

I think it's about two people who stay togeather....not happy ...but to scared to part for fear of being alone.

[@lesliesoto9930]

This song always made me cry and i never knew why it stirrred up so many emotions i believe its about death... accidental death of the trapeze artist isnt that what its about ?

[@petepotaczek5844]

It’s a metaphor for life’s and loves regrets.

[@williampotter2098]

Read the above comment by @kathleenvitello6233. It tells us what the author, the amazing Stephen Sondheim said it was about. Failing at life and love.

[@starrfaithfull6934]

@lesliesoto, no, it's not about clowns or circuses. Or a trapeze artist! Look it up. It's from the 1993 hit musical, "A Little Night Music." Songs by the late Stephen Sondheim. A classic Broadway musical.

[@gregmf9427]

@@starrfaithfull6934 WTF? It’s NOT about anything 1993. Frank Sinatra sang it in the ‘60s. STFU learn musical history

[@muingegpuppy8619]

I don't understand the point of this song. It's in an old movie played by Liz Talor.It's a nice song, but what's the meaning. Anyone please help me.

[@threemanthreeman5516]

If things are going wrong, you send in the clowns, it's a theatrical terminology I think: by saying that things are so bad, they're funny.

[@threemanthreeman5516]

A song of regret. She didn't want him, when he so wanted her in the past. She then realises that it was him all along, but he is now content with someone else. The clowns meaning fools really.

[@susanandersen3034]

They send clowns into the circus ring to distract the audience when things go awry. I think she is saying things have gone awry in their relationship and that they use distraction to not face the truth.

[@seandowns4298]

She sounds English singing this.

[@margaretwhite3280]

It's like when Scarlett finally gets it that Rhett is the only one for her, and she loved him all along, and he chose to move on at the moment. The crushing pain and drama is so inexpressible that there is only space for a joke!😢

All of us somehow goes to join the clowns at the last part of our life ! ( that means we become jokars in the society)?🤣🥳(maybe) sigh !
