People

"People" is originally from the musical "Funny Girl" but soon after became a pop culture hit. It's one of Barbara Streisand's most famous songs. I personally enjoy a few things about it. First, I enjoy her voice. It's spectacular- especially in this song. Secondly, I enjoy the tune and melody. It flows so smoothly and it's so easy to remember. Lastly, I enjoy the meaning of the song. It's that nothing is better than being with one person and loving them forever. Now since I am not in love, this song has a meaning perhaps beyond the scope of the song. When I first heard the song, I thought about all of the people I knew and my friendships with them. The song made me realize that even if I have hundreds of friends, it doesn't mean anything unless I really need one of them. Everyone needs someone, but sometimes people don't need others. The ones that have someone, perhaps a friend, whom they need and whom needs them back are the luckiest people in the world.
