Kathleen in VA Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 I woke up to find my 9yo daughter in the middle of watching The Sound of Music. I sat down to check my email and this board when the Reverend Mother began singing "Climb Ev'ry Mountain." All of the sudden I got to thinking about my life and how this homeschooling thing is like that song - it takes all the love you can give, every day of your life for as long as you live. That's all. Just thought it was kind of nifty.:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DB in NJ Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 When I was little and the Sound of Music was on TV every year, I used to hate that song. Her voice is SO high, it annoyed me. As a grown woman, who has more years under her belt, that song makes me cry. Every time I hear it, I cry. It's amazing, powerful, moving. And well sung. I love it.

brehon Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Ya know...when I was a child that was one of my two favorite musicals and I watched it every day, sometimes multiple times, on our VCR (betamax). I always liked listening to Rev Mother sing--her voice was so powerful and rich--but the song itself [Climb Every Mountain] didn't speak to me very much. Now I'm older and hopefully a wee bit wiser and I find that the song resonates with me so much more. And the Puppet song still cracks me up every time I hear it. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 ooo--good reminder to put this on Netflix. We just finished watching Oklahoma a few times, so SofM is next! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It used to bring tears to my eyes once I became an adult, but not any more after Remudamon's comment..... Sing with me........... "Teach every subject, Read all the books, just ignore your neighbors, giving dirty looks!" Now I am inspired! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MomofSeven Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 that's actually someone else's voice singing Climb Every Mountain. Also, if you want to know another trivia bit, all of the Captain's songs are dubbed over too. I actually couldn't sleep the first time I read this as I was so disappointed.
