More about this title

About the Artist: Bette Midler

Bette Midler emerged as one of the most distinctive vocalists of the 1970s, known for her powerful mezzo-soprano and theatrical interpretation of both standards and contemporary material. Her work spans multiple genres and decades, establishing her as a recording artist, film performer, and live entertainer whose influence extends across generations of musicians.

Why we love this

This is a piece that works equally well as a singalong or an instrumental feature, giving guitarists the flexibility to accompany a vocalist or own the arrangement themselves. The TAB format removes transcription guesswork, letting players focus on capturing the emotional arc and dynamics of a song that has become a cultural touchstone.

What to expect

Tender and hopeful, with moments of vulnerability that build into genuine warmth. The song sits in intimate acoustic space even when imagining fuller arrangements, inviting the player to color the narrative with restraint and care rather than flash.

Who it's for

Guitar players learning to balance melody and accompaniment, vocalists who want a self-contained backing arrangement, and intermediate to advanced students seeking accessible repertoire with emotional depth. This works well for recital preparation, open mic setlists, or as a teaching example of how to interpret a well-known song without simply copying the recording.

How to get the most out of it

  • Pay attention to the original vocal phrasing when working through the melody line; the rhythm is conversational and pulls away from the beat in places, so map out where you're pushing and pulling before locking in.
  • Experiment with dynamics and texture across different sections. A stripped-back intro can make the chorus land harder, and varying your articulation keeps the familiar melody fresh.
  • Use the TAB fingerings as a starting point, not a mandate. Once you understand the fretboard path, explore whether alternate positions give you a tone or sustain that serves the emotional weight of this song better.

How to use it

Feature this in a contemporary music showcase or pop covers evening, pairing it with other songs that blur the line between pop and standards repertoire. It also serves well as a recital closing number when you want to end on a genuine emotional note rather than a flashy technical display.
