Barbra Streisand - Memory (Cats song) (Very high quality) video free download

Youtube needed a better transfer. (Then I found 2hJrT6KblGQ, that one's pretty much equal in quality. My version, that version and the most watched version on Youtube are all sourced from the same celluloide copy sometime way back, have a look at the glitch around 2:42)

Transfered today, in 2012, from a swedish CBS vhs-casette released in 1982. 30 years old, quality could be a lot worse. Audio source is uncompressed PCM from the 2007 CD remaster. Since VHS Hi-Fi stereo weren't invented until 1984, and the previous linear stereo system were both rare and bad, the original audio is nowhere near this.

Midnight

Not a sound from the pavement

Has the moon lost her memory

She is smiling alone

In the lamplight

The withered leaves collect at my feet

And the wind begins to moan

Memory

All alone in the moonlight

I can dream of the old days

Life was beautiful then

I remember the time I knew what happiness was

Let the memory live again

Every street lamp seems to beat

A fatalistic warning

Someone mutters and the street lamp sputters

And soon it will be morning

Daylight

I must wait for the sunrise

I must think of a new life

And I musn't give in

When the dawn comes

Tonight will be a memory too

And a new day will begin

Burnt out ends of smoky days

The STALE cold smell of morning

A street lamp dies, another night is over

Another day is dawning

Touch me,

It's so easy to leave me

All alone with my memory

Of my days in the sun

If you touch me,

You'll understand what happiness IS

Look, a new day has begun...
