Judy Collins - Send In The Clowns

I am having this song played at my husband's memorial next month. He was a clown with Ringling Brothers and I feel it is a wonderful choice.

I had this song played at my mother’s funeral. She died April 23, 2024. I love listening to it even though I cry every time I hear it!

I had this played as I carried my sons coffin into church for his funeral, he loved the circus and as a child had dreamed of being a clown. It was so beautiful

A beautiful song by a beautiful person. I'm terminally ill with Pulmonary Fibrosis, no cure, very little meaningful treatment and non-alcoholic liver cirrhosis. This song always brings a wee tear to my eyes. Not sad, happy for every extra day I get. There are always people worse off than I am, I wish them well. Definitely one of the better songs dealing with a sad chapter in life.

Sadly, my dad passed away at home in front of me in 1979 when I was 14. He had terminal cancer and had been ill for sometime. This was his favorite song. It was a moment we shared before he passed, listening to this repeatedly while he held my hand. We wore that 45 out that weekend. I believe now, that this song had a deeper meaning to him than I could have ever possibly comprehended all those long years ago. I understand now, Dad. When I hear this hauntingly beautiful song sung by Judy Collins, I close my eyes and can once again remember his face. I thank her for that. I miss you Daddy. ❤️❤️

Sad to hear of Stephen Sondheim passing, what a gorgeous song and career he left behind & may his memory be a blessing

My Brother Timm collected clowns, he died at just 62 years old in 2014. 😢 He wanted this song played at his funeral mass, and so it was. I seriously have chills right now. I love and miss you, Timm. ❤😘

I'm a rough old old guy who lived a fast and rough life. But this song makes me melt l, and sometimes cry, just hearing it...just like my grandkids.

My mother died today after a long illness. She loved this song. She was a tough cookie with a heart of gold, lived through WW2 and used to tell me about watching the bombers flying overhead - Just a different world to the likes of me. It's oki to cry but you know what? If she were here she would probably just smile and say, "Life goes on". I'm going to miss her.

I discovered this magic woman’s music when I was in Vietnam, she helped keep me sane and I still love her

How fortunate were we to grow up in the 1960s surrounded by such music that has followed us all our lives.  May the world return to such simple beauty and faith.

I grew up in the Viet Nam era, as an inner city kid, worried about being drafted, fighting for civll rights and against crime, poverty. Judy Collins and I could not be more different. Yet her lyrics spoke beyond station and status. This is real poetry … art that transcends time, status and station. So glad I grew up with Smokey, Janis Ian, Alan and Marilyn, Paul Williams, Marvin Gaye, C,S,N, Bacharach, Aretha, Joanie Mitchell, Dionne Warwick, Carol King, Neil Diamond … and a host of other extremely talented singers and sing writers. I would not trade a note if our generations music with any other generation. Timeless …

This song makes me cry and think of wasted opportunities, foolish choices.

The orchestration here is sublime. Judy Collins has aching sorrow in her voice. A perfect performance.

Saw her in concert in the middle ‘70s. It was like seeing and listening to an angel! Never got over her!

As I sit in the park on my way to Lincoln Park zoo, and waiting for them to open, I am listening to this song, teary-eyed enjoy filled, this is a beautiful song. I'm praying for healing of my emotions. And an end to the homelessness i am experiencing once agian. I'm believing for prosperity, I am trusting that God will allow me to continue to create an immune boost and disease killer, so i may continue to share it with the unwell. God bless you all❤

One of the most beautiful things I've ever heard in my life 😔

She has always been on of my favorites. Still is 2024

Her rendition of this song is by far the best , hands down , no question ❤️

My grandfather passed away on the last day of November recently & I remember hearing this song on one of his favorite video tapes of Rodeo Bloopers. Lord rest his soul❤️❤️🌹🌹🙏🙏
