Barbra Streisand
Imagine / What A Wonderful World
“Imagine / What A Wonderful World” medley from BARBRA STREISAND’s forthcoming album, WALLS
“John and Yoko’s timeless song ‘Imagine’ is a message of peace and unity that’s urgent today as ever. The lyrics for Louie Armstrong’s “What A Wonderful World” dream of a place where strangers become friends. It struck me the two songs combined, ask us to imagine what a wonderful world it would be… if we could somehow build more bridges than walls. Hope you enjoy it.”

A note from Barbra :
This collection of songs reflects what’s been on my mind lately.
These are troubling times, and I felt compelled to add my voice to the dialogue some of us have been having. Many of the fundamental principles of democracy and freedom we’ve always taken for granted – freedom of the press, freedom of speech, freedom of expression – are eroding at an alarming rate. Even basic human decency appears to be melting away faster than the polar ice caps. I wanted to write and sing about some of these things… not only to convey my concerns, but also to state my belief that, if we remain vigilant to the truth, things can eventually turn around.
In the past year we’ve seen the very worst of humanity… and the very best. In the face of unimaginable natural disasters and unspeakable human cruelty, there have been many acts of kindness and courage to remind us of who we have the potential to be when we listen to the better angels of our nature.
I’ve been especially moved by the millions of young people in the United States and around the world who have found their collective voice and are demanding to be heard. They are more interested in building bridges than walls. They are the very definition of hope. They’re on my mind… and I dedicate this album to them.
With love and light,
B
