Regina Swarn Audio Series Presents - A Tender Cover Of The Way We Were

Episode Date: December 16, 2025

Fan MailA single song can pull you back through years in an instant, and today we lean into that power. We set the room quiet and soft, then share a heartfelt cover of The Way We Were that carries the weight of memory, loss, and love. The cracks in the voice aren’t mistakes; they’re part of the story, the sound of someone singing through what still matters.We open by naming why this track hits hard: grief for a sister, the heaviness of the season, and a long-standing love for Barbra Streisand’s music. Rather than chase a perfect studio take, we stay present and let the lyric do the work. You’ll hear the breath, the pauses, and the emotion on the line “what’s too painful to remember, we simply choose to forget,” and you might find your own memories answering back. That’s the quiet magic of a nostalgic cover: it becomes a mirror.After the performance, we talk honestly about influence and identity. We’re not trying to be Barbra; we’re honoring a song that shaped us while keeping our voice true. If you’re drawn to intimate vocals, emotional live recordings, and reflective storytelling, you’ll feel at home here. We also point you to another love song on SoundCloud if you want to explore more of this mood and follow the thread between love, memory, and healing.Press play when you can give yourself a few still minutes. If the song unlocks something for you, share it with a friend who might need the same soft reminder. And if this resonated, subscribe, leave a quick review, and tell us: which song takes you back the most?Music Show endSupport the showContact [e-mail]
