Description: Song Review by Matthew Greenwald Easily one of Barbra Streisand's biggest hits and finest performances, the theme song to the box-office blockbuster The Way We Were is ingrained into the memory of anyone who was listening to radio in the mid-'70s. Capturing the essence of the film perfectly into song, the distillation of the word "memories" is used throughout the lyric, bringing together emotions of long-term (and long-lost) love perfectly. Brilliantly arranged by the legendary Marty Paich, the sweeping strings and bittersweet melancholy of the melody is delivered to the listener in an incredibly intimate fashion. Of course, Streisand is at her best here, conveying the lyric with great passion and style, without resorting to overly sentimental histrionics. This is in itself no small feat. The number one song from the number one album from the number one film, it capped a rare entertainment grand slam.
