INGROOVES who owns copyrights to one of the songs in this video has blocked this video from being viewed in the United States. It is still viewable in the rest of the world. Check out the U,S, version :

Nettie Fowler, the cousin of the female protagonist Julie Jordan, sings "You'll Never Walk Alone" to comfort and encourage Julie when her husband, Billy Bigelow, the male lead, is killed during a failed robbery. It is reprised in the final scene to encourage a graduation class of which Louise (Billy and Julie's daughter) is a member. Billy watches this ceremony during his return to earth. Both acts are included in this video clip.

Because the song is included in the musical's school graduation finale, it has become a standard at graduation ceremonies in the United States.

When you walk through a storm
Keep your chin up high
And don't be afraid of the dark.
At he end of the storm
Is a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark.

Walk on through the wind,
Walk on through the rain,
Tho' your dreams be tossed and blown.Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone,
You'll never walk alone.

My Dad died from pancreatic cancer at 45, leaving my Mom, and us three daughters, 20, 17, and 12 years old. He arranged for a friend to sing this song at his funeral; there wasn’t a dry eye in the church, and the soloist had tears streaming down his face, but he made it through the song.
Rest In Peace, Dad, I love you.

I watched this on TV ten years after this film came out, when I was a ten-year-old boy. I was alone in the room that day and couldn't take my eyes away from it. I knew nothing about life then or the meaning of tragedy, or what sorrow was all about, but It was during this scene when this song played that I remember first really crying from the depths of my soul. My older brother Steve who was soon to enlist in the military during the Vietnam war came into the room and saw me crying. I felt so embarrassed and ashamed at that moment because boys were not supposed to cry. I remember he comforted and consoled me and I never forgot that. Steve was a wonderful brother and died before his time. R.I.P.

Gordon Macrae and Shirley Jones were just magic together. What voices!

Carousel opened on Broadway on April 19, 1945, and ran for 890 performances. Its London run, starting in 1950, was just as successful. Every one of those audiences included dozens of women who lost husbands or sons or fathers or brothers in WWII. This song was for them.

Well, following the last comment, I was 10 years old living in Bangkok in 1958 with my family, my father up to mischief at the U.S. Embassy, and I distinctly remember the vinyl record of “Carousel” at the house. I didn’t pay any mind to it until some 60 years later. I think it’s one of the most important songs ever written. Love and carrying on after a love one has died. Last year my 99 years old mother died at the age of 99 in beautiful Western Montana and listening to this song helped ease my sorrow.

I still tear up at the final scene of the movie, Carousel. It just goes to show that you cannot erase mistakes and live ANY moment of your life over again. We must take every moment we live and make it precious since there will never be another.

That is a beautiful song, no matter where you hear it, or what it's related to, it brings hope and love everywhere.

I saw this wonderful musical at the Schubert Theater in Chicago in 1945.

[stevehinnenkamp]

The incredible thing is that this song accomplishes a triumph of hope in 32 measures with no extra adding of high notes by a singer at all required. For that reason alone I hail it as a true masterpiece.

[tinagriffith]

This song was played at the end of the graduating class of 1979. It has such a powerful message of faith, hope, and courage and to look forward to the days ahead, our future.

Carousel is one of the best musicals ever and this song, oh my Lord, so so beautiful. Gordon MacRae and Shirley Jones, two beautiful performers to be sure.

Currently a senior in high school, this song reminds me so much of how I lost my grandma last year. Please cherish the good times with your loved ones guys.

[amsob]

Fascinating how this kind of song was turned into a mega hit pop song without really changing it that much.

[jamesholt]

Saddest line in the movie is "longing to tell you, but afraid and shy, I let my golden chances pass m by."

[mirijblige]

I absolutely love this musical, I have just learnt to sing 'If I Loved You' and it is another beautiful song from this show. I am 16 and I think I was born in the wrong time era, because I really like these types of songs. Shirley Jones has a wonderful voice.

It's enough to make a grown man cry.

When you walk through a storm
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark
At the end of the storm
There's a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark

Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed and blown

Walk on walk on with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone

The Carousel is an adoptation of a hungarian play "Lily" by Ferenc Molnár, written in 1909. The original play takes place in Budapest, but it was so popular, that was introduced in New York and London. It was then, when Oscar Hammerstein noticed it, who received the rights for the musical adoptation from Ferenc Molnár....
