I think that's because she "lived" some of the words to the song...it must've spoken to her greatly. However I find the message of the song to be a bit confusing. I think it's Lena's best performance.
Richard. Thank you for posting your rendition of this wonderful song, and doing a very nice job of it if I may add. My first recollection of this song it was sung by Eddie Buchanan on the Benny Hill Show many moons ago! Thanks for the memories Richard.
Thank you Robert. I first heard this performed by Lena Zavaroni in a documentary about the late singer's short life. Check out her rendition. If you know her back story, it makes her version all the more haunting. Thanks for listening! Peace.
Thank you Richard. I loved Lena and her music and I hope somehow my performance of her song made it out into the universe and made it's way to her. She really was a treasure. Such a shame about her life. :(
+Shore Sitter Thanks Eileen! I love to sing and I recorded that song only recently. It was an old song I heard Lena Zavaroni perform and I fell in love with it. Neil Sedaka wrote it and performed it too! Thanks again!
Wow! Just fantastic. Thanks for taking the time to learn, record and post this fabulous song. Your rendition is giving me goose-bumps for 4 solid minutes. If you are ever performing anywhere near Williamsburg, Virginia, you can bet that I will be in the audience, no matter what it costs.
Thank you so much for taking time to listen to my songs and leaving this very kind comment. It does my heart good to know that people are listening to my songs and appreciate what I have put out there. I sing because I love it, but I don't perform publicly anymore. Thank you for listening.
Hey Richard!! Found ya here! Fantastic voice!! So talented, I didnt even know! Sometimes your voice reminds me a little of David Bowie, odd perhaps, but there it is....hope you consider that a compliment, I do!
Richard. Thank you very much for your reply. Do you happen to have a recording of a song called "Make the world a little younger" I think the lyrics were written by Carey Budnick (Not sure if that is correct) Any way the singer I mentioned in my previous comment Eddie Buchanan sang this on the show I mentioned and I know that Shirley Bassey cut a wonderful recording of it but I can't seem to find a male voice recording of this number thanks for your time.
I have never heard of that song, but I will research it and see if it is something I would like to sing. Thank you again for your comment and for sharing your insight.
Richard. Thank you once again for your reply. The song in my very humble opinion would suit your voice to a tee. it is a song about a happier, simpler times, but of course that may be due to my advancing years. Please if you record it put me on the sellers list. Thank you so much for taking the time to reply.
Lena Zavaroni's version from 1981 captures the very emotion of this song when she was only a teenager.

Fantastic bro. XX

Great job on my favorite Neil Sedaka song
Thanks Mark! I appreciate that! Thanks for listening.
So welcome , I have actually listened to it three times , stunning vocal
Thank you for remembering Lena Z with your fine singing. I think she would have loved your performance.
Thank you Richard. I loved Lena and her music and I hope somehow my performance of her song made it out into the universe and made it's way to her. She really was a treasure. Such a shame about her life. :(
Whoa! I'm sincerely impressed.

Thank you Linda! I love Bowie and I have noted similarities at times.
Richard have you heard Lena Zavaroni's version ? Yours is excellent 😀
I love Lena's version. It is what inspired me to sing it.
