The kids were walking toward me, and I was standing behind a screen door, and I said, &#8216;Oh Kathryn, take this picture right now.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The point is, the feeling whenever they&#8217;re here is just joyous. It&#8217;s very, very special&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s wonderful to have family. And that&#8217;s how The Secret of Life title came \u2014 [the secret] is several things, but one of them is family,&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nThe album is Barbra&#8217;s first in almost seven years, and features duets with the likes of Sir Paul McCartney, Bob Dylan and Tim McGraw, but the Funny Girl star admitted she wasn&#8217;t sure she was up to recording after the extensive process of recording the audiobook version of her memoir xx left her &#8220;hoarse&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe said: &#8220;I hadn&#8217;t sung in a long time so I didn&#8217;t know if I had a voice left.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nBut Barbra has no plans to give up her career and she still particularly loves recording new music.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe said: &#8220;As long as I have a voice, I love the privacy of recording.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I love standing there in front of the mic with the music in my ears and singing, and there are more songs I want to sing. And I even have my original list of songs I&#8217;ve wanted to sing [since I was 18 years old].&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nBarbra began her career when she was 13 years old and she&#8217;d advise her younger self to trust her instincts.<\/p>\n<p>\nAsked what she&#8217;d have told her younger self, she said: &#8220;I&#8217;d tell her, &#8216;Believe in yourself, believe in your choices. Believe in what you hear, what you feel.&#8217; I did it instinctively.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/barbra-streisand-loves-grandchildren-1421125.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>27 June 2025 Barbra Streisand finds it &#8220;joyous&#8221; to be with her grandchildren.
