Ain't it funny how time goes by so quickly. One minute your 26, watching "An American Tale" and listening to this wonderful song and the next minute your 63 and hearing it on RU-vid and your crying your eyes out! It's such a timeless beautiful classic tune. That is a national treasure. 🥰
@TommyDePaul-in1ig What the hell, Mr. Potty mouth? Do you kiss your mamma with that mouth? 🤢🤮 So you're 62, and I'm 63. Now that we got that clear. Go to your room! You need a time-out, dude! 🤣
My man JAMES INGRAM came and died without receiving the kind of superstardom that should have been HIS. I am honored to have walked the earth with him, to have been introduced to his magnificence. Take Care my brother.
I lost my little sister 4 years ago at the age of 35. She loved this film as a little girl. This song is very special to me. My heart goes out to anyone reading this who has lost a loved one
Probably all of us have lost a loved one, I certainly have. One awesome thing about our existence is that we are all made of divine energy & therefore eternal. Thus it is important to be happy & grateful for the time you had together in this human form rather than sad because it's over. Much love to you!
This song brings back memories of my childhood with my mom and my brothers and sister. My mom passed on. I regret not making the best of the time with her.
I have served my country for the last 19 years and am currently deployed overseas for the 10th time. Every night I think of this song. My wife and kids are waiting for me back across the ocean. Every time I leave we play this song and when I return. It is our stay safe, see you later song. Soon my loves, soon I will be home.
@@VampireFan-rf5kb He will be missed too. From films like this, Aliens, Titanic, Glory, Jumanji, Braveheart, How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000), and The Amazing Spider-Man.
I lost my husband 15 months ago very suddenly and unexpectedly. We had been together for a total of 22 years. I had been with him since I was only 18 years old, and he left me a widow at 40. I never in a million years could have imagined my life without him. We were supposed to grow old together and I feel so robbed. Our marriage was far from perfect, but we loved each other unconditionally and went through so much together. Even though I have been dating an incredible man for the past 7 months, who I am falling deeper and deeper in love with, I still (and will always) love and miss my husband with all of my heart. Whenever I hear this song, I immediately think of him, and I break down into a lake of tears. What I wouldn't give just to be able to hold him and hug him just one last time. I miss him so, so much.
I was 10 years old and supposed to be asleep on the living room floor of my uncle's apartment in Poughkeepsie NY but he and my mom were weeping together so loudly that I couldn't sleep. I hear this sound everyday and I'm 42. Later I understood they were saying goodbye to each other. My uncle was HIV positive and going downhill quickly. We lived in the Midwest. Thankfully we had one more Christmas with him before he died. This was his favorite song and it was played at his funeral.
I think she’s the best female singer of my generation (I’m 72 yo). Country, country rock, rock ‘n roll, popular, big band, opera, mariachi…she’s sung it all, better than anyone else.
Me too. 💖 I am in my 40s and my parents 70s. I miss those times when I was young so much. But I rejoice in the fact that I got to live that time. What a blessing! 🙏 ✝️ And I look at the good things I have now too even though there has been hardship. Just try to spend as much time with family. Blessings to you.
Linda was almost 40 years old when she recorded this song. She was a beautiful woman, she looked younger than she was, and had a youthful and somewhat childish image.
@@sandragrilo6905 e essa música maravilhosa veio à lembrança de novo com a reprise de Brega e Chique no Viva. Como eu ouvi essa música na minha infância...assisti muitas vezes esse desenho, Fievel.
Kid if you’re reading this and you see my picture… since the day you were born you’ve been cherished and loved! Kid I love you so much, if I fought it would spill on you and NO! Alec’ , because when you were born I knew you would be great! Son I hope, I have faith that you’ll find these whispers.
@@markmccormick4461 I'm so sorry you lost your mom. May she be R.I.P. 🙏⚘️ I haven't heard this song in a long time. But listening to it now. I am crying like a baby. I lost my mom on December 26, 2009 and I miss her so much too.
I’m a 37 year older man and I still get emotional when I think about me listening to this as a little kid thinking about my dad. I’m so glad I got to spend some time with you as an adult. I miss you and I love you
I'm 42 and I lost my sister 2 years ago I'm still learning how to go on with life knowing I won't see her again till my time comes my heart is broken and life will never be the same
I only listen to this because I loved the movie when I was a kid...that my dad actually took me to see. I try to naturally forget. But your comment made me cry because on the 31st of this month it'll be a year my dad passed away. This wasn't the vibe I was going for tonight. But I'm glad I let it touch me. Now it wont be as hard in a few days. R.i.p to our dads :(
Great thanks, you did it, you actually made me tear up. I remember my baby brother loved this movie when we were kids and I miss our childhood and the 80’s tremendously, he’s a year older then you now and then I read your comment and it set me off.
I was born in 1974 and somehow felt Linda Ronstadt was a singer of the past era (60s) but she sang exquisite songs well into the 80s when I was a teen. She is timeless.
Somewhere out there beneath the pale moonlight Someone's thinking of me and loving me tonight Somewhere out there someone's saying a prayer That we'll find one another in that big somewhere out there And even though I know how very far apart we are It helps to think we might be wishin' on the same bright star And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby It helps to think we're sleeping underneath the same big sky Somewhere out there, if love can see us through Then we'll be together somewhere out there Out where dreams come true And even though I know how very far apart we are It helps to think we might be wishin' on the same bright star And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby It helps to think we're sleeping underneath the same big sky Somewhere out there, if love can see us through Then we'll be together somewhere out there Out where dreams come true
first time I heard this i was 12 years old in 1986, I'm 42 now songs like these used to not bother me but now I cry when i listen to it , just the older I get the more soft hearted I am
I was in elementary school when this song came out, it was so scary and chaotic at home, this song was so encouraging, I hoped someone loved me out there, so I drew the main character, the mouse, and it was hung on the school hallway wall, a proud moment for me ...
I am sorry about the past that you had to endure. Nothing is your fault, you were just a child then. I believe you'll also love "Journey To The Past' from the Anastasia Soundtrack. It shares a similar message❣️💖
I know Linda Ronstadt and James Ingram's one of the greatest duets ever, this song brings tears to my eyes.😢 I'm so sentimental. 💖 Rest in power and peace James Ingram. 💖💐😑
@@XlissueslXgaming I just looked them up, only James is dead, Linda is still alive. She just can't sing anymore because of a condition that prevents her from singing.
So sad to think Linda Ronstadt suffers from progressive supranuclear palsy and has lost her singing voice while James Ingram has died due to brain cancer in 2019, but somewhere out there they still sing together this song. We will sing with them for always. That's their beautiful legacy.
What happened to humankind? We are capable of producing beautiful things like this song, why we always try to find ways to destroy ourselves? Just listen to the type of music our children are listening today and the way people behave today.
Carlos Lopez i totally agree with you! Money and fame are the reasons I guess. If I could have picked a date I should have been born, I would have asked to be born in the 60's so that I have been able to experience the 70's hippie lifestyle. I was born in 1985, a little too late.
+Maria Edelyn Gunda agree with you... i also want to born in the 70's or before, i was born on 1992.. too late to enjoy a happy time with people that have no care about fame, and so on and so on.. :(
What happened to mankind? Mainly, the wealthy began funding so-called "conservative media in the 90s to stoke mainly the "wronged White Male" to the point where it blame and judgment takea over for being gratedul for your blessings and its only getting worse and people have normalized it. Now acting superior is admired, all the way from the White House down.
Oh man, I just got done watching some Jackson Browne with them, and for some strange reason this song pops into my head. I had no idea they played on this recording.
@@kennyleo08 If you haven't already done so, you gotta check out Leland's RU-vid channel! Awesome stuff he's been posting since the beginning of the lockdown.
40 plus year old woman bloody crying here! 🥲 used to listen to this on holiday when I couldn’t sleep at night and felt all alone. Loved the idea that we were all underneath the same big sky ❤️ RIP James Ingram - the most beautiful voice 😘
Happy birthday to my son, July 3 2024, you are 15. I miss you every single day. And i will keep listening to this, . and crying, and thinking about you every day til I can see you again.
This song and movie were one of my fondest childhood memories. As a father separated from his daughter since she was 1, this song is so poignant, brings me to tears every night I think about my baby girl.
@@kimtrayeshe’s alive and was inducted into the hall of fame in 2014. Have some respect. Parkinson’s might’ve taken it away, but we still have these memories.
It's a shame that this film is now considered offensive - what a croc - what is so offensive about belonging to a family - I applaud Linda and James for their participation in the making of this movie - their talent make this song great!
@@netflixfan8940 glad you enjoyed. I loved it the first time I saw it and the second one. The second one will always be my favorite because of Tanya singing "Dreams To Dream." I don't have very much interest in the third or fourth ones however.
36 years ago, I gave up a daughter for adoption. The day they took her, I heard this song, and made it mine for her. How many years have gone by and I've seen her in pictures that her adopted mother sent me. But she moved to another state and I haven't seen or heard from her since. It breaks my heart because she is estranged from us and I don't know why. But I'll never give up. I still love her with all my heart
30 years ago tonight, I met a man I fell deeply in love with at Fort Indiantown Gap, Annville, Pa. He lived in TX. And was a pilot. He was at the Gap for helicopter training. We saw each other off and on for the next 4 days and a beautiful dinner in Hershey, Pa. We said goodbye on the 15th never to see or hear from one another again. This song came on my car radio as I drove him back to his barracks. Idk what ever happened to him. But this is our song. I know I met my soulmate the first time I kissed him. I pray somehow I find him again just to be able to hold him one last time. To all you who have lost someone. God bless you!!
so sorry you never got to see him again, just makes me sad to read your post, but i'll be okay & yes I've lost a couple of loves myself, right now I am trying to work on one to a lady friend who i have known since we were in the 3rd grade so I've known her for 35 years, but she is recently got divorced so I'm giving her time, but is there any advice you can give me , maybe if not it's okay, but pray for me
William B william the best advice i can give you is give her time and just be there for her. I am praying that you will get together i know what its like to be lonely. Try let me know how it goes. Good luck and god bless.
this song makes me thing also about my dad, he said when I was 8 " be right back " and the last time I saw him... makes me thing if he still out there...
I started randomly singing this song and my husband thought I was singing the wrong words. Came here to prove him wrong! 😅 This is such a classic and from a beautiful movie from my childhood! ❤
Same here. I work in a children's home and I think about these kids when I listen to this song. Makes me cry every time I hear this song. So beautiful!
Serving the Lord in the orient for over 30 years, this song makes me think of my home town, and all those I miss. America is far away, but the memories are still there, out there , somewhere.
Remember my mom taking me to watch AN AMERICAN TAIL. This song is one of those special songs that bring you back to that time you heard it. Beautiful song.
RIP James Horner (one of the songwriters for "Somewhere Out There" and even the film composer from An American Tail (1986)), Dom DeLuise (the voice actor of Tiger), James Ingram (one of the two singers of this song), Christopher Plummer (the voice actor of Henri le Pigeon), John Finnegan (the voice actor of Warren T. Rat), Madeline Kahn (the voice actress of Gussie Mausheimer), Tony Geiss (one of the two screenwriters for An American Tail), Judy Freudberg (one of the two screenwriters for An American Tail), and Erica Yohn (the voice actress of Fievel's mom). Anyone else did I miss?
This song hits me so differently on an emotional level considering we lost so many people who played a role in both the film and song! Hope Linda continues to stay strong!❤❤❤
I didn’t even know he passed away. It’s amazing what a beautiful voice he had , I will miss his voice. I kind of have an affinity with this song- ( it hits home for me, we sang this for a chorus concert in 8th grade... awesome song gives such wonderful memories...!! )

I feel like this is the place to talk about this 💗 this girl who I’m really into kinda just came back into my life and we mother agreed it was time to “start over” and we did. Since then it has been so very rewarding on both ends. We have a long distance thing going. But I believe that somewhere out there she’s thinking of me tonight and holding me close. What she means to me is more than words could ever say and I stand by that. My Winnie the Pooh bear is my representation of her so when I have trouble sleeping at night I hold her close and feel better 💗 I know she’s somewhere out there. Out where dreams really do come true. I want to thank those of you who have read my story bc it means a lot to me 💗
