Cat Power - Who Knows Where The Time Goes

[JanMarie1007]

Looks like it's cd has been moved earliest 2012...

[RafnHeimisson]

One can not just listen to Cat Power a few times and be expected to like her! She is very much acquired taste. But once you have truly listened she will take you on a heartbreaking journey through your deepest sorrows and brightest joys.

[misterzigg]

@RafnHeimisson

I'm not saying that you're wrong but I've listened to Cat Power once and that was enough for me. Enough to fall in love with her and her music. She's a treasure!

[Rivhernan]

horrible!!!!



[JohnnyTie]

Seems like 23 people that disliked this are Kesha fans who have no souls...

[JanMarie1007]

...and supposedly a new Cat Power cd out this year!!!

[JohnnyTie]

@JanMarie1007 Really?! Anychance of tour dates to go along with that?!

[dreagin]

I just feel that this artist is completely overrated. Even though her covers might be original, they still are amateurish, bland, and performed with the energy of a snail. I rarely post anything negative but after finding a couple of videos and listening I have to comment. As someone said earlier, they have heard home videos that have far better performances, I have to agree.

[stationr]

"It's impossible to recognize any of the songs she is singing." Yeah, well, maybe--but that's what makes her covers so amazing, so much better than when someone merely replicates a song. She's the real thing, imitating no one.

[ccdg1066]

a fresh look at this song and I like it! That doesn't mean I don't like the traditional versions anymore; but this lady cat power did something good with the song - so bravo!

[theloudhalo]

This woman is a disgrace. It's impossible to recognise any of the songs she is "singing". The only way to do that is by reading the title.

If anyone is interested in hearing it properly sung, look up the late great Sandy Denny.

It is her song.

Just listen and you will know what I mean.

[PeaceFlag420]

@theloudhalo That's what makes her so unique... She's not imitating the artist who has originally done it, she is making it her own.

[theloudhalo]

@PeaceFlag420 I didn't say she was imitating her. I said she couldn't sing the song.

Maybe she is just not my cup of tea.

[FungusMossGnosis]

@theloudhalo

I knew the eat Sandy Denny's version long before I heard of Chan Marshall. And I can say with some authority that you are being an asshole to Cat Power and her fans.

She has her own thing, not trying to outdo or replace.

Get over yourself.

[luminorguy]

Chan, may I ask a favor of you.... Would you give birth to my children? : D

[matitti]

very interesting interpretation. I find that she and I are always drawn to the same material and yet we have so little in common (that I know of, and we have common friends.) I liked where she was going. she should have gone further!

[lindui]

her music gives me peace...:-)

[rubyrose456]

just...great...thank you

[iStephfly]

she lets her hair down when she's playing keys....

<3

[franklinribeiro]

cat power is the greatest :)

[didadragon]

Miss you Sandy!!!!!!!!!!!!

[didadragon]

Miss you Sandy!!

[JanMarie1007]

Love this song and her version of it...

[msguillermo12]

i love her she is soooo pretty and her voice is beautiful

[hotbutteredghost]

nina simone does it best as always, if only cat power could sing the whole song..? maybe?

[marlowman]

Pa-fucking-thetic.

Mannered into meaninglingness.

She may be hip with the kids, but fuck that. Chan is way over her head.

"...where it all..."

You mean the rest of the LYRICS, you hipster poseur?

[philipsmog]

@marlowman her covers don't always succeed, i agree this one doesn't work, but she's got some incredible ones, her best one imo is her reinventing hank williams' ramblin man into ramblin woman, totally inspired.

[emil1954]

Eva Cassidy covers this song the best.

[Maggielicious21]

mmmm i wouldn't think so, but it's a matter of taste

[crapitoutjim]

My brother Joe died 2 weeks ago, he was 45 years old. He loved Sandy Denny and Fairport. He never heard this version, but I know he would have loved it. This is for you Joe from your big brother James xx

[eclipse561]

beautiful song.

[tilallaby]

lovely !

[royevatom]

This is probably one of the best songs ever written. The best version I know of is Sandy Denny with Fairport Convention.

[libbies]

this is amazing, what is wrong with everyone? just relax and enjoy or don't watch it at all. peace

[bootyhunter420]

cat power is great

i dont care what u people think

if you dont like it you dont have to watch it

[ramjet449]

Was that a song or some kind of seizure?

[markoconroy]

so affected and pretentious ---- merely an observation

[nihilistichick]

how are people saying this is horrible?? Its very beautiful, and no, of course she is not like Nina, she makes it her own and that is what is so wonderful about it.

[cartmanrlsusall]

nina simonewas in a whole different world than this hack crap is crap tori amos would kick this broads ass.fiona apple has the better voice if you like deep voice singers

[glassbrain]

Holy crap, how did i stumble across this tripe twice! What a terrible voice, this simply does not even rate compared to the nina simone version, and i continue to not understand what anyone finds to be good about this song! Sorry.

[eyencyst]

fiona apple is commercial bullshit,little dick.

[cartmanrlsusall]

so are you the one deleting my comments ?just cause you dont agree i like good music fake ass emo stinks catpower sucks

[vampirek2009]

guh... why are you people so doggedly unpleasant? both Fiona and Cat Power are unbelieveably talented and sensitive artists. why don't you support musicians who make something truly beautiful instead of bullying them? if Fiona is commercial bullshit, then what is Britney? such comments are just useless malice.

[nate11star]

you don't have a fucking clue about Fiona's music.... have you?

besides... I personally love them both, Fiona and Cat Power.

[cartmanrlsusall]

she aint fit to catch the piss from tori amos cunt

[SparrowSaltskin]

only men with very small penisses can write such stuff... - or are you just annoyed that she has a deeper voice than you?

[sullycake]

oh my god. you're a horrible person.

[shitdog1234]

Cat Power is the closest thing we got to a Sandy Denny these daze, eh?...actually this might be a bit much...

[nannerbj]

Oh Christ !

[daiboino12]

Cat Power? Never heard of her. Never will probably.

[54spiritedwill54]

gorgeous,stunning,melancholy,b­eautiful heart ache,so pretty !

[glassbrain]

how does this merit 4.5/5? Truly the worst cover of this song by far.

[Mattjf]

I just don't understand what's happened to Cat Power. The new covers album and this EP - they ain't got nothing. I hope she goes back to recording original stuff pretty soon.

[zebraboy777]

Great song, almost Impossible to murder and catpower does just fine!! Cool it kids!! Enjoy the lyrics and the delightful bittersweet intent!!

[OwenWiley]

Yuck!

This is awful. I've just been checking out several versions of this on youtube and I've seen a few girls in their bedroom perform this with better interpretation and feel. This song is way too beautiful to be destroyed this way. This performance here was self indulgent and totally not necessary.

[stef555stef]

What a mess and an insult to Sandy Denny, the original singer and writer of this song. What a terrible affected and pretentious rendition.

The mock angst performance was embarrassing. What was all that business of raising the hands off the keyboards about? Was it meant to be some kind of fake artistic or emotional impression of the understanding of the music and lyrics? A car wreck of a cover version.

[Cunhaband]

i like Simone's version best. Chan's got a nice voice usually, didn't like this.

[1688264]

This is a comedy sketch, right.? LOL

[solredoc]

I heard a White rabbit's cover from her and it was good.

but this is embarrassing...maybe cause the original version it' s just..perfect.

[matadorppi0]

i love u chan ñiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[cheshireallycat]

Great filming ~ Love your camera work! If you diss this may I suggest you have wax in your ears!

SHUT UP & LISTEN

[ermaveep]

aaaggggghhhhh!!! wish i hadn't seen this...

[ufricchetton]

me too!

[ecrira4u]

I love Chan's version of this song! Moody, sultry, rusty, mysterious, and purist. Beautiful!

[wilbur45]

wot's that smell? cat poower

[jwbmackay]

Oh dear. I like Cat Power but this is awful. Complete murdering of a beautiful song. Nina Simone wasn't much better, she sounds like a whale. Best versions are the original by Sandy Denny and the new one by the wonderful Kate Rusby

[leskiwi]

Or Kate Wolf or, better yet, Nanci Griffith.

[tomshiki]

Nina Simone sounds like a whale?! are you crazy?! I don´t like the original version....btw

[olduncleERNIE]

I wonder if she hangs out with Amy? Now there would make a great show.

[philipsmog]

check out nina simone's cover of this song here on youtube

[Babarundi]

Great song, awful cover - it's like she's removed any ounce of beauty from it.

[tobytwirrll]

I don't usually swear, but this is a fucking ghastly travesty of a beautiful song. Sandy Denny deserves more respect of her memory than this. Does this stupid bitch mangle other people's songs because she can't write something decent herself, or what?

[bwylde27]

It's just sounds that way cause it's her style , if you listen to her other stuff....it's all the same kinda style...so she is gonna sing it how she wants to i guess..

[RedShoesDuo]

funny how, "Who Know's Where The Time Goes" rhymes with " The Emperor's New Clothes" on this version . . .

[ScooterNerd]

The melody has gone astray...

[sjofarthotellet2]

the covers record was super good, but now it's gone too far

[rogthedodger]

Terrible, take a great song and ruin it!! Be much better if she just kept quiet.

[crazycrow76]

I keep watching this trying to like it, because I really like Cat Power.

[congotronics]

dò sta la bottiglia?

[Pjaypt]

who knows where's the song gone?

[drugrocker]

Cat Power has gone to the dogs since "You Are Free". for shame!!

[ScarletSweetPea]

Well, that's....interesting. Like she learned the lyrics about 25 years ago and is trying to recover them in a drunken, miserable haze. Maybe a wee bit overwrought for my tastes, but, seriously, an interesting interpretation. I don't know that it's even worth comparing to any of the more famous versions--it's just so different. It is what it is.

At first I thought she was singing in German.

[colincoby]

Can't say I like this version at all. No offense...

[simonbnyc]

this sucks. unlistenable. she seems to have forgotten that aside from sandy denny's beautiful voice it was the melody of the song that was so poignant.

[megstubetops]

her voice is sad and weathered.lets me dwell in my own self pity.i love it.like patsy cline and tori amos,cat power is unique.closer to nora jones syrupy vocals.original all of them.

[OscarLimaMike]

I love this woman! Go CatPower!

[philipsmog]

With Cat Power, ya gotta take the shit with the shine,

but it's worth it cause she can shine so bright

[drawn1233]

wow. Her voice is... -how can i describe it- scary.

[IamIgnatiuspreilly]

sandy denny is great, true. that was pretty scathing.-her playing isnt superior, but sloppy? chan is truly talented, too. her talent just doesnt rely/focus on technicality.its just from the heart, and as she continually says, she isnt concerned with musicianship.--impressive that she doesnt need it to be so listenable

[taugusta]

Very poor rendition and sloppy piano playing of a beautiful song written by Sandy Denny. Check her out Sandys version and see what true talent is. Her voice and timing is unbeleivable. Her writing is unmatched by most female composers of her day and since. Unfortunately she pasted away at the early age of 31. Judy Collins also did a excellent version as well. Catpower should stay with what you know best.

[schnauzerhead]

I don't think poor quite describes it... How come every female vocalist with a bjork-clone voice is immediately hailed as amazing and brilliant? This is terrible.

[bellinghamster]

The good news for you two is theres always American Idol. :o)

[schnauzerhead]

Which is also terrible.

[glamourpussy69]

she sounds absolutely nothin lik bjork!!

[OscarLimaMike]

I love Sandy Denny too

[taugusta]

Sandy was so talented, I only wish she was still with us. It would be interesting to see what she would be doing today.

[jun7per]

gorgeous,stunning,melancholy,b­eautiful heart ache,so pretty,bohemian southern bell,motown beatnik,her voice is simply haunting,leaves me in a trance....

[colaandcoke]

wow
