[atje43]

SO GOOD!

[ConwayBob]

Great song, beautiful video. Thanks for posting.

[midmodgal]

Get me to Sandy Denny.....now!

[PiinkRock]

horrible

[arhatyellow]

Talk about Broken English. Bless her heart, she was a stone cold fox. Loved her then and always. We all choose our little bits of human comfort to help us as we travel through this vale.

[littledavearrival]

The closest thing I can find to the Bob's piano version from Biograph on You Tube. This is awesome. Thanks!

[beAloneonTheStreet]

gorgeous and cool woman...

[desertshore]

@quistosound hey there. thanx alot :D

[screwmaster404]

My favorite version. What is that wonderful clip from?

[desertshore]

@screwmaster404 it's a fragment from her '60's cult flick "Girl On A Motorcycle" (slowed & color-marinaded).

yesss i love this version too, boo to the h8erz ;)

[milkitalready]

Funny how it sounds like the Velvets are backing her up (Some Kinda Love?) - Nico's version is pretty great too though (w/ Brian Jones strumming!)

[BlackMonk66]

@milkitalready Fernando Saunders and Bob Quine are backing her and they had been in Lou Reed's band around that time, though the guitar always reminded me more of The Byrds than the Velvets.

[metapenguin1]

This painful (and I mean that with compassion) version

recalls Angel s-singing at the greendemon's karaoke bar.

It is as though each one of us, before passing through St. Peter's gates,

were obliged to sing "I'll Keep It With Mine".

So go easy on the lady! Eleison!

[rosalynrosepetal]

This is fab, I thought Nico's version was the greatest (I see YT has pulled it.....shame). This is so deep and almost desperate, It's on a new level to Nico's both are utterly brilliant!

[Ldale11]

Brilliant stuff! To all the haters here, get yr heads outta yer asses and out of pop music vocal airbrush manipulation of people who sing pablum and listen to a true interpreter. 'Broken English' is a classic!

[FeStinkaHouse]

PJL3791 , is because you've never heard ME imitating Bob Dylan, LOL

[djminimoto]

Yikes!I know this is a woman singing,but holy S!This voice sounds(if someone doesn't know any better)like that of a man!

[rosalynrosepetal]

djminimoto::: If you think this sounds like a man then you need to search YT for Amanda Lear.

[PJL3791]

Hmmm, this must be the first cover of a Bob Dylan song I''ve heard that sounds more like Dylan than Dylan's own versionf!!

[evitastories]

Wow. This is amazing. And I thought Nico's version was spooky!!! Thank you.

[MarrasBiti]

I think her voice is littlebit scary...

[crazedwitch2]

I think her voice is littlebit scary...

That's called personality and presence. Marianne has more than most!

[holmsatlarge]

quite correct assessment.

[Roshibear]

Bahahaha, there's never a shortage of silly opinions on youtube. Here I am reveling in how magnificent is Marianne Faithfull's voice and how brilliant is her phrasing. But you're probably right and I am probably wrong. It probably is just scary-- at least a little bit... hahahaha. Wow!

[giannireb68]

Hey DS didya know that M. Faithfulls greatgrandfather was Baron Joachim Sacher-Masoch. The same guy who wrote the book "Venus in Furs"--one muse of the VU of course. It was the same family the Sachertorte was named for( the best chocolate desert in the world). They were originally from Vienna but they had to flee cuz Marrianne's mum was Jewish.

[giannireb68]

..And altho I LOVE MS. FAITHFULL---Nico's version is better.

[desertshore]

yeah i knew that factoid from reading "Up and Down With The Rolling Stones." have u ever read that? it's so luridly written it's unintentionally hilarious. and actually i heard this version first, each has their charms. i reallly like this version, vocals and guitar-wise, tho i have read others bashing it. dylan's, of course, is good too. interesting that i heard his versioon last, and only recently (on YT of course)

[desertshore]

... and stay tuned, i'm hoping for some uploads tonite...

[giannireb68]

kool, kool. see if you can find something with her and that crazy bitch anita pallenberg doing "sister morphine" in duet. its apparently out there somewhere and its like from 1978.

[desertshore]

anitaaaa <3!!!

wow now where would one unearth a treasure like that footage?! have never heard about it, must be a sight to behold loll

[jagemesh]

She totally has all the same phrasing Dylan had... She must have listened to his version like a hundred times lol

[Raymantico]

Oh it's the croaky-voiced Marianne.

I wish she'd sung it when she was the pretty girl in the clip.

I have a 45 with Susana Huff singing it that may have a bit of the young Marianne vocal sound.

[desertshore]

ohhh i like croaky (and non-croaky) marianne ~ very soulful rasp ;)!

[Raymantico]

Yeah it's like the croaky or non-croaky voice Dylan--both have soul & that's where it's at.

How about a desertshore video of Nico's version?

[desertshore]

i did it a white & silver version - uploaded a few months back (see channel)
