Talk:Wind Beneath My Wings

message: Can I just ask...why was the article redirected to a title with a lowercase "B"? Is there a reason behind it? Otherwise, I'm going to move it back to "Wind Beneath My Wings" with the capital "B".

replies: text: Because "beneath" is a preposition, and our Manual of Style (in common with many others) specifies lower case for prepositions. --Mel Etitis  (Talk) 18:34, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Maybe so, but in this case it looks ridiculous.  Perhaps an exception should be made for long, multi-syllable prepositions.  Wasted Time R 00:35, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

text: The Wikipedia guidelines for song title capitalization (in common with many others) specify that prepositions of five characters or over should be capitalized.--HarryHenryGebel 19:47, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Why the lowercase "B"? 

message: Maybe it's just me, but the chorus to this song sounds a lot like Londonderry Air, better known in North America as Danny Boy.  Is there any known connection here? --Saforrest 19:16, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I came here to ask the same thing. This morning I woke up to my radio playing an instrumental version of (what I later realised was) Londonderry Air, but my immediate thought was WBMW, and I wondered why they'd be playing that tune on a classical music station. --  Jack of Oz [pleasantries] 21:21, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

message: If no one objects within a week or so, I plan to request that this page be moved to Wind Beneath My Wings (capital B) in order to bring it into conformance with WikiProject Music guidelines.--HarryHenryGebel 02:29, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I've moved the page, per the request at WP:RM and per WP:MUSTARD and usual capitalization conventions.  "Beneath" is a seven-letter preposition, so it certainly gets capitalized in title case. -GTBacchus(talk) 22:35, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Possibly mixup with 'Candle in the Wind' (or perhaps Danny Boy) both of which were played.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.39.171.201 (talk) 16:11, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  No evidence for this being played at Diana's funeral 

message: The claim that Wind Beneath My Wing originated in 1972 seems to be groundless. I have found no evidence of this. More research is needed. If anyone has an album released in 1972 with Wind Beneath My wings on it then they have a collectors item. I would like to hear more on this. Mustang3725 (talk) 08:36, 14 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I just did a big revision on the article. A source already cited in the article documents that the song was written in 1982, so a 1972 recording would not be possible.142 and 99 (talk) 18:02, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

message: Colleen Hewett's recording of this was a big hit in Australia c.1983. Format (talk) 08:59, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: [[Colleen Hewett]]

message: It peaked at 11 in Australia.  It does hold the record for highest sales by a song that did not make the top 10, though, as it was in the charts for over a year.  There was a lot of commentary about this at the time.
If you think it peaked at number 1, please prove it. 203.4.164.1 (talk) 02:43, 13 May 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I'm only familiar with the Low Rawls and Bette Midler versions. There is a difference in the lyrics between the two. The Midler version contains "Did I ever tell you...", which is appropriate when sung for a deceased friend, as in Beaches. In the Rawls version, it's "Have I ever told you...", as for a person being directly addressed.
This fact seems appropriate for addition to the section on the Midler version. I don't have references to hand. If someone does, please make the addition. If no one does in a little while I'll try to dig sources up myself.
