All I can say is there is something, as I'm sure we each respond more strongly to certain resonances, in her version that lets me hear/see the song more vividly. And, Leonard Cohen. xoMarylinn Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02759437467691163658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2400078448867068387.post-33045319701100052902012-03-16T20:23:30.690-07:002012-03-16T20:23:30.690-07:00that song slays me every time. all versions. this ...that song slays me every time. all versions. this one, especially.37paddingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12400464105403622384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2400078448867068387.post-77954980100056198202012-03-16T06:54:28.779-07:002012-03-16T06:54:28.779-07:00Yes! kd's interpretation is simply the best. ...Yes! kd's interpretation is simply the best. I was visiting a close friend a several years ago who was contemplating suicide and the album with this song was playing while we sat at her kitchen table and talked and talked. She has turned that corner and is still with us. I can never hear kd singing this without being back in that kitchen - and tears (of gratitude for the outcome) on my face.<br />ErinErin in Morro Bayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06837848620673552009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2400078448867068387.post-71622438007693348132012-03-15T19:05:37.679-07:002012-03-15T19:05:37.679-07:00lovelovelove kd. thank you.lovelovelove kd. thank you.Radish Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06534752971317927559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2400078448867068387.post-7361345304655682102012-03-15T18:54:16.263-07:002012-03-15T18:54:16.263-07:00Very, very pretty version.
