Love this so much thank you for posting the whole song! I love that he (Paul Anka) chose to change the lyrics from, "My Way" to "Our Way." - raise the vibration to love, harmony, blessings, and the understanding of everyone's interconnectedness with each other, animals, the earth, the universe, the galaxy, and the cosmos- thank you Bliss TV and Paul Anka
Thank-you, it’s wonderful experiencing his unique style. I’ve just spent quite a bit of time learning about how he wrote the song for Frank Sinatra. Also, how David Bowie made a parody which became “Life on Mars.”
Well, Frank Sinatra said he was going to quit the music industry. Paul Anka really liked hanging out with Sinatra and didn’t want him to quit. Several people were working on the song but overnight in 30 minutes or something like that, Paul came out with the lyrics to the original “My Way” song. Frank recorded it once and the first take is what is the song everyone knows and loves. David Bowie also wrote a version of the song, the tune of which became “Life on Mars.” Bowie was actually the first to translate the song into English from French. However, it was Paul Anka who was largely responsible for the Sinatra version everyone loves. I think it’s interesting to listen to Anka’s take, and you can also find Bowie’s version too.
