just stellar, the arrangement, vocals, arrangement of the pictures for the video brings it to life. a beautiful ceremony of life and acceptance/realization of the plot.
Whoa! I have not been able to get into any of Marianne's songs, can't understand the hype, but this song rocks! I prefer it to Donovan's take. I'm sure the tasteful production doesn't hurt.
@DirkjeA Accepted. It is entirely a matter of taste. As both versions are peerless, I guess it comes down to which particular mood I am in at the time. The fact that the song is about a girl, it becomes more personal to have a girl musing over her own circumstances that does it for me. But it's her voice, and the arrangement, especially the acoustic guitar that makes it so special. A similar effect can be found on Sarah McLachlan's 'Gloomy Sunday'. Spine tingling stuff.
like nightwish, I've been searching for years for this track. I've had to make do with a poorly taped version gleaned from SOTS years ago. If anything, this is superior to Donovan's original, which is a classic in itself. Excellent. Thanks
@palbook That is a matter of taste. This song suits her, and she sings it beautiful, but I prefer the original by Donovan, however I do understand why you like this one.
After all these years just realized that the words are different to what I thought they were. Sounded like she was singing "......a sad LIFE but fading" Which gives it a much darker meaning
Half of her records havent been released to itunes. Its maddening.

Sammy Hagar does an incredible version of this song on his live album. Weird to think of it, but find it on youtube and listen.
