Sobre el álbum
La banda sonora de la película A Star Is Born es uno de los mayores éxitos comerciales de la carrera de Barbra Streisand y un fenómeno cultural de los años setenta. En este trabajo, la artista, junto a su coprotagonista Kris Kristofferson, crea una colección de canciones de rock, pop y balada que se convirtieron en la banda sonora de toda una generación. El álbum captura a la perfección la historia de amor y tragedia de la película.
El disco contiene el himno inmortal "Evergreen", una balada compuesta por la propia Streisand que le valió un Oscar a la mejor canción original. Este tema se convirtió en uno de los más importantes de su repertorio y en un clásico atemporal. La banda sonora de "A Star Is Born" no es solo un complemento a una película; es una obra de pop-rock de una calidad y un impacto extraordinarios, que consolidó a Barbra como una de las artistas más poderosas del mundo.

Letra
I want to learn what life is for I don't want much, I just want more Ask what I want and I will sing I want everything (everything) I'd cure the cold and the traffic jam If there were floods, I'd give a dam I'd never sleep, I'd only sing Let me do everything (everything) I'd like to plan a city, play the cello Play at Monte Carlo, play Othello Move into the white house, paint it yellow Speak Portuguese and dutch And if it's not too much I'd like to have the perfect twin One who'd go out as I came in I've got to grab the big brass ring So I'll have everything (everything) I'm like a child who's set free At the fun fair Every ride invites me And it's unfair Saying that I only Get my one share Doesn't seem just I could live as I must If they'd Give me the time to turn a tide Give me the truth if once I lied Give me the man who's gonna bring More of everything Then I'll have everything Everything - Lost Inside of You2:54

Letra
Look who's advertising Billboards everywhere "See hellacious acres Your tailor made nightmare" Traffic is backed up for miles Attendants welcome you with devilish smiles Steady...steady ... Have your tickets ready Steady...steady ... Go to hell After dark It's a sin filled city An amusement park It's a one way ticket to the other side It's a Dr. Jekyll and a Mr. Hyde See Lizzie Borden, she's one of the stars And tricky Dicky barkin' Flashin' you his pardon Jack the ripper slashin' your tires Even the devil needs money To cover his overhead That's why he opened hellacious acres Or so his press agent said Hang out with heavies Your partners in crime Forget the consequences, have a good time Steady...steady ... Have your tickets ready Steady...steady ... Go to hell After dark It's a sin filled city An amusement park It's a one way ticket to the other side It's a Dr. Jekyll and a Mr. Hyde Get down and study suspicion and doubt At hellacious acres Listen mischief makers Admission's free you pay to get out - Evergreen (Love Theme From 'A Star Is Born')3:04

- I Believe in Love3:13
Letra
(Feeling love is feeling good I believe in love) yeah (Feeling love is feeling good I believe in love) yeah Feeling love¡ that's all That's enough for me Yet I see, I see Faces Covered-up and empty-eyed Empty spaces Where there used to be a soul inside Nothing and no-one ever gets to you Seems the wind could blow right through you Believing in gods that never knew you I believe in love, I believe in love I believe in feeling good, and that's feeling love Now, worry climbing up your money tree You got to hurry monkey do what monkey see You're on a one-way street and you're speeding Missing the signs you oughta be reading Passing things you'll later be needing I believe in love what? I believe it - nobody sold me Always knew it - nobody told me I believe in someone to hold me I believe in love, I believe in love, I do Yes, I believe in feeling good And that's feeling love (Feeling love is feeling good) Feeling love, that's all That's enough for me, I won't be Don't want to be lonely Sleeping in an empty bed Shouldn't be only a place to rest my head But I don't want to find myself one day Waking up and looking at Monday With some "what's his name" left from Sunday I believe in love, what! I believe it - nobody sold me Always knew it - nobody told me I believe in someone to hold me I believe in love, I believe in love, I do I believe in feeling good Now everybody should Believe in feeling good Believin', believin' love! - Crippled Crow3:30

[Performed by Kris Kristofferson] Beggar standin' on the corner sing your song Sing it for a dime Bring them all the pain you carried down the line Your music's flyin' post their ears Goin' through your troubles for the herd to follow The out of tune ravings of the crippled crow Movin' down the ladder slow Where your friends on knee will help you And the cup-o tin you carry Is just a ticket to get you in Beggar standin' on the corner dry your eye You're tiring now The tears you're tastin' now are only salty time Your music's lasted thru the year Goin' through your troubles for the herd to follow The out of tune ravings of rhe crippled crow Movin' down the ladder slow Where your friends on knee will help you And the crown of thorns you're wearing Is just a ticket to get you in The our of tune ravings of the crippled crow Moving down the ladder slow Where your friends on knee will help you The out of tune ravings of the crippled crow Moving down the ladder slow Where your friends on knee will help you - Finale: With One More Look at You/Watch Closely Now7:43
