Randy Newman: The Unforgettable Inspiration Behind "Losing You"
Randy discusses the unforgettable story behind the Harps and Angels song "Losing You," which BBC calls "two minutes and 16 seconds of wonder: a perfect gem shining in the darkness," followed by a solo performance at the piano.
absolutely nobody can write as well as randy newman !!!!he once said that dylan at his best was the best.i know this isn't a competition but for me nobody is even in the same universe as him.he is the greatest songwriter that has ever come out of america.his music has been so important in my life,i've nothing else to say except that i really hope there will be more records to come in the "near" future.nine more years is too long to wait .please randy have pity on us!!!!give us more records.....
ps.this song "losing you" is so beautiful and with a simple chord change he can break your heart.
what a stunning song. what i wouldn't give to see randy newman in concert, one more time.
what more is there to say...
thank you so much,
scott
Thank you very much for this beautiful song.Special for me because mine son died 13 years ago 26 year of age.Many songs off Randy makes me so happy.I hope he will come soon to the Netherlands so we can see him again on stage
Mr Newman is a genious.
I follow his music and i can dream and think .
this is sooooo beautiful, and with his friendly voice it makes the whole world cry with those parents
Another triumph, Hearts and Angels, with its mixture of true pathos, cutting satire, and a cleverly submerged prediction of the future top dogs in America. His global sweep songs - like the Great Nations of Europe - with their prophetic sting - are some of the cleverest, most crafted lyrics in modern music. Thank you Randy for another great album - but what a long wait
A new Randy album - at last I can give Badlove a break from my cd player!
Thank you Mr Newman - you are the "main man" - and please , please try to make it to Australia again.
I have shown this video to grief counselors, clergy, and others of my friends touched by loss; this music has brought tears to their eyes (as to mine as well). Thank you, Mr. Newman...
Mr. Newman, I have just lost my mother of 96yrs. and you have touch my soul... Thank you
