A hard song to deliver. I roar it out at work when the machines are particularly loud and no one can hear - but not all of it. You never know, but you are cutting someone's heart by the reference to a child stillborn.
She is simply the Best Toda Raba Esther every time you sing this song in one of your rare but always great Live Concerts these days it goes directely under my skin, there never was and never will be another singer who can touch my heart so deeply as you can Bravo Danke Merci Thank you Esther, no wonder Leonard Cohen who wrote this song prefers your version above all other versions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It was 1972 when Leonard Cohen gave a concert in Tel Aviv while Esther was in Israel and when he heard that Esther is going to be in the concert hall he told the press "I am ashamed to sing in front of her"
Bird on the wire is very easy to translate in Hebrew or in French. What a pity.
