Sobre el álbum
El álbum Stoney End de 1971 representa la inmersión más decidida y exitosa de Barbra Streisand en el mundo del pop-rock contemporáneo. En este disco, la cantante vuelve a interpretar canciones de la nueva ola de cantautores, pero con un resultado mucho más convincente y personal que en sus intentos anteriores. Streisand hace suyas composiciones de autoras como Laura Nyro, Joni Mitchell o Carole King, aplicando su increíble intensidad dramática a un sonido más rockero.
La producción de Richard Perry es enérgica y directa, dotando a las canciones de una fuerza y una crudeza que sentaron cátedra. La canción que da título al disco, "Stoney End", se convirtió en un gran éxito y revitalizó su carrera en las listas de pop. Este álbum es una obra fundamental que demostró que la voz de Barbra Streisand podía ser también una de las grandes voces de la era del rock.

Letra
If you could read my mind, love What a tale my thoughts could tell Just like an old time movie 'Bout a ghost from a wishing well In a castle dark or a fortress strong With chains upon my feet You know that ghost is me And I will never be set free As long as I am A ghost that you can see If I could read your mind, love What a tale your thoughts could tell Just like a paperback novel That kind the drugstores sell When you reach the part Where the heartaches come The hero would be me The heroes often fail And you won't red that book again Because the ending's just too hard to take I'd walk away like a movie star Who gets spurned in a three-way script Ends up number two The movie queen to play the scene And bringing all the good things out in me But now for love, lets be real I never thought I could feel this way And I got to say That I just don't get it I don't know where we went wrong But the feelings gone and I just can't get it back If you could read my mind, love What a tale my thoughts could tell Just like an old time movie 'Bout a ghost from a wishing well In a castle dark or a fortress strong With chains upon my feet Stories always end And if you read between the lines You know that I'm just trying to understand The feelings that you lack I've never thought I could feel this way And I've got to say That I just don't get it I don't know where we went wrong But the feelings gone and I just can't get it back - Just A Little Lovin'2:28

Letra
Free the people from the fire Pull the boat out of the raging sea Tell the devil he's a liar Come and save the likes of me Saw your light from the street As I passed by the other day I was scared, my knees were weak Forgot what I had come to say Free the people from the fire Pull the boat out of the raging sea Tell the devil he's a liar Come and save the likes of me Saw a man walk on water With everybody looking on I didn't know I was his daughter 'Til both of us had come and gone Free the people from the fire Pull the boat out of the raging sea Tell the devil he's a liar Come and save the likes of me If you see me in the alley Looking like I don't belong You can put me in your greenest valley I'll still be singing the same old song Free the people from the fire Pull the boat out of the raging sea Tell the devil he's a liar - I'll Be Home2:56
