More about this title

About the Artist: Cher

Cher has maintained one of the longest and most adaptable careers in popular music, spanning from the 1960s through today. Her work across pop, rock, dance, and ballad styles demonstrates the vocal and stylistic versatility that made her an enduring presence in American music.

Why we love this

This power ballad sits perfectly for singers developing control in the adult contemporary idiom. The song's emotional arc and accessible melody make it a genuine vehicle for exploring phrasing and dynamics without excessive technical demands.

What to expect

Reflective and yearning, the song captures the particular melancholy of regret tempered by resilience. The arrangement sits comfortably in a mid-range, creating an intimate quality suited to both solo performance and small ensemble settings.

Who it's for

Vocalists preparing for recitals, auditions, or performances in pop and contemporary vocal settings. Piano accompanists looking to expand their repertoire of accessible vocal accompaniments.

How to get the most out of it

  • Set the tempo deliberately; this ballad rewards space and breath. Rushing pulls away from the emotional weight.
  • The chorus builds intensity through repetition rather than range. Use consistent breath support to sustain longer phrases cleanly.
  • Balance the vocal line against the piano accompaniment. The chords should anchor the harmony without overwhelming the melody.

How to use it

Include this in a recital program that explores contemporary standards, pairing it with other songs from the adult contemporary repertoire. The piece works equally well as a solo showcase or as part of a thematic program about memory and reflection.

Skills your students will build

  • Sustaining legato phrasing across longer melodic lines
  • Dynamic control and contrast within a moderate range
  • Coordination between vocal line and piano accompaniment
  • Stylistic interpretation of contemporary ballad idioms
