One of the best covers...Mick really gets into the skin of the deep blues and melody !!! a great song from Cole Porter and perfectly fit for Mick's voice.
@ladyamyjones Allow me to offer my love, kind wishes and condolences for your loss. She, obviously, was a woman with incredible soul to favor "Simply Red". How kind and understanding of you to play this song for her. I hope that I, too, have someone as beloved as you, when my time arrives to pass away.
A good effort by Mick-and the Cello goes well, but when you listen to Ninas' rendering you know that is someone who knows what a broken heart feels like!
It doesnt always have to be "real" , you know. It can also be classical and emotionally clean. When you yourself have had your heart broken, the last thing you want is to feel what others feel when they've had their heart broken; your own experience and memory are more important. Thats why the song is a classic and keeps its value through time into all times.
We're still in agreement sofar though, LOL; not only "the consolation that someone else can actually express completely what I feel." but that they express it better and lift you up from yourself. Its probably a matter of shades and degrees; when you're young smthng can be completely sterile and not heartfelt enough; older or more experienced, half a word evokes a world of feelings and a little becomes too much)))
I've heard this Cole Porter song in many versions but keep comig back to this one. It captures a quality I think the composer meant to express. I understand that this song was written for his deceased wife just after leaving her gravesight. What tender lyrics and witty tonality - major to minor. I have changed the way I play this song on the guitaras a result.
Oh,I have difficulty finding the right words to define this ballad...I feel a wave of peace flood over me every time I listen to Mick and the sound of the cello in this song..:)
también es una cabeza de color rojo para arrancar! que es la peor cosa que puede ser! están totalmente discriminados. son parias sociales en Inglaterra.
Eizar la piel = que se te paren los pelos de la emoción.. Francamente no me importa si es socialista o no,,, es un artista, un excelente´intérprete y compositor y eso me parece mas relevante.. Socialistas pueden haber muchos, buenos músicos, como él, no tantos.
!¿Y qué?¡ Lo dices como si ser socialista fuera ser un depravado o un diablo...¿qué tendrán que ver sus ideas políticas - muy respetables - con su enorme talento y sensibilidad como artista?
usted tiene buen acento! i dicen que es socialista, porque muchos prejuicios hacia las personas son socialistas comunistas y homosexuales. Estoy hablando galimatías!
Porter was a genius, his songs remain unreal to this day, both musically and lyrically.
Hucknall gives a very good intepretation here, too bad the pianist should play far softer, he's hammering like crazy (as he does on the album, unfortunately). But the cello brings some peace.
wow thought he looked like a dusche but actualy a great version of this song he has a fantastic voice and doesnt dwell on the notes like so many poeple tend to do. good
It's been a long time since I've heard this.. and it STILL moves me, and gave me an appreciation for Cole Porter. It was the 'standout' song on the album, (quite unexpectedly I must say :)
this man is know through the usa down to the island of jamaica and into the pacific to the island of barbados he is a good singer wonderful songs, very breath taking his songs are clean gentle much to be desired .
This is just so beautiful. I hope he sings this on his last tour in 2009 - I'll be there for sure, whenever and wherever it is!!!! He's the best...always.
Thank you Mick for everything! Ev'ry time we say goodbye I die a little, too... It'll be time to say goodbye in 2009! See you at your concert in Germany! Bless you!

Fair comment Yame- but we're diametrically opposite on this.
What I get from music is the consolation that someone else can actually express completely what I feel.
That's why much classical offering doesn't 'do it for me' - as it is too pure and distant.
I'm a jazz and folk fan, both - for this reason.

@trydreamin She had suffered a long and painful illness.
She spent the last years of her life in a iron lung only appearing for Mr Porters musicals.
After her death and devasted by his loss he wrote this song to say good bye and remeber the love they shared.
Quite a way to be remembered then to have a song written about you to never be forgottn for all eternity.

Cole Porter wrote this in memory of his wife Linda who died of lung complications.
It was to be a tribute for her love and devotion to him.
After all these years it is wonderful and touching yet so sad.
Cole Porter was simply able to put music and words together like no other composer.
Truly a beautiful yet haunting song to remind us how precious life is,
