28 Feb 04 ·FlyingDutchman1971: REM recorded a superb cover of this song which is available on the b-side compilation recording "Dead Letter Office". The album also has a beautiful rendition of the Velvet Underground's "Femme Fatale"
08 Jan 04 ·inbloom44: That's such a pretty song! 08 Jan 04 ·eftimihn: "and if a double-decker bus / crashes into us /
to die by your side / is such a heavenly way to die / and if a ten ton truck / kills the both of us / to die by your side / the pleasure and the privilege is mine" ...seriously, isn't this the most heartwarming declaration of love ever ?
28 Feb 04 ·FlyingDutchman1971: Nothing beats Morrissey's beautifully tortured voice on such emotional songs such as this. A band by the name of 'the Ocean Blue' recorded a great live cover of this song for a 4-track CD single called "Peace and Light".
Music and lyrics go together so well...Perfectly captures that "holy," awakened, alive feeling of its being early, early morning and you're just driving away from a beautiful few days with a friend or lover.......
28 Feb 04 ·FlyingDutchman1971: Sarah McLachlan recorded a great cover of this song. It is available on the soundtrack album to the film 'Boys on the Side'
This song is from my favorite musicals, Guys and Dolls. Blossom Dearie's version of this song is, in my opinion, the best. It's because of her voice. She's a musical marvel.
25 Jun 04 ·FlyingDutchman1971: I couldn't have said it better myself! I can't think of any song in her catalog that I prefer someone else's version of better. Blossom is a treasure!
plaintive introspective personal rumblings. her lyrics, at least on the first disc Little Earthquakes, were like stumbling across someone's open diary. from the B-Side of the Silent All These Years cassette single that i wore out on the bus rides to junior high and high school. many other tori songs are incredible. this one cemented her in my psyche long before Under The Pink ever came out.
14 Sep 04 ·FlyingDutchman1971: Indeed a great track... I would have worn out a cassette single listening to it, luckily it was a b-side on the CD single for 'Winter'.
