We look back at Bette Midler's biggest hit, 'Wind Beneath My Wings,' 30 years after the song hit Number One
despite being a sitting U.S. president. “She got caught, just like the Fake News Media gets caught. A sick scammer!”where she’s standing over Trump with Kathy Griffin and Stormy Daniels by her side. “The witches are back,” she wrote. “And there’s hell to pay!”Their surreal Twitter war drew attention away from the fact that this week is the 30th anniversary of Midler’s classic “Wind Beneath My Wings” hitting Number One.
The song wasn’t written for this movie, and when you read the lyrics, they come off as a little bizarre when you consider they’re being delivered to a dear friend after a funeral. The first lines are “It must have been cold there in my shadow/To never have sunlight on your face” and things only get worse from there.
Imagine being in the afterlife and looking down on Earth and seeing that your best friend is singing about how she’s a soaring eagle and you were merely the wind that allowed her to fly. You’d be justified in being like, “Excuse me? My body is still warm and you’re singing a song about saying sole purpose on Earth was to allow you to shine? This whole song is about you. I am literally invisible in your crazy metaphor.
None of this is Midler’s fault and she sings the hell out of the song. Trump may consider her a “washed up psycho” but she’s still making movies and playing enormous concerts. Maybe the psycho is the person who feels the leader of the free world should spend his time attacking her on Twitter.
