I have loved this song since I first saw the TV version of Carousel when I was 5 years old. Mom had a big Rodgers and Hammerstein book, and as I learned to play the piano, I eagerly worked my way through the entire book. This song has always deeply affected me because it is just so full of hope.
I lost both my parents a little over a year ago, and I went back to my home town to play for my father’s funeral. I asked his wife what music he would have liked to have for his service, and she mentioned three things - two were hymns, and the third was this song. It’s not really something that one would sing as a congregation, so I decided to arrange it for trio, for my sisters and me to sing. Please forgive our amateur voices and that we were singing at our father's funeral...

On a more professional note - yesterday, I found this very beautiful arrangement and performance of the song by my friend Ryan Anthony, who has been fighting multiple myeloma since 2012.
