Thank you so much for posting this! I only like this verson... My first cousin just died and I thought of this song. I thought of this song years ago when one of my old friends died. This song is a comfort to me in hard times and I'm so thankful to you for making it possible for me to easily hear it. Would be better with lyrics but still Thanks.
This cover from Dido is just amazing. What is more amazing is the most popular amongst 35 to 54years old. I think young people should open their mind a little more. (and that is coming from a 19year old boy)
@101Becka It's good to hear. Thanks. But if you ask most teenagers, they know her because they watched Roswell but don't listen to her (at all, or don't listen to her anymore). There are less and less people who are listening to the songs for the meaning, I'm glad they still exists :)
@101Becka Never heard of Roswell? then maybe it was just popular 10years ago in France. To simplify, it's the story of the meeting between an alien and a human. Alien's got a human form though. It's a action/drama series. Dido singed the intro : Here with me. It was the first time I heard of her. But I hope you at least heard of Roswell, the event, where so-called "aliens" crash landed.
Radio stations frequently get "DJ" versions that never see light in stores. It is frustrating. The arguement is that it makes the old media "Still important."
I love this song for selfish reasons. As a female, it is pretty difficult to sing along with James Taylor's original version. I can sing along with this version, and I love it.
heard this on XM 51 today. Would love to know where to get this song. Can't find on itunes. One complaint I have about Xm, is they will play great songs but you can't find what album they're on
Well, whenever an artist does a cover, someone is going to say it can never be as good as the original, but I can listen to all kinds of hard and fast stuff, but I always can follow it by Dido, I love it!!!
its not boring, its beautiful. her songs, her voice, her music, its serene and beautiful and relaxing. there is a big difference between being boring and being relaxing. boring means you can't stand to sit here and keep listening. just cuz it is slow, doesn't make it boring. Slow songs are harder to pull off to bring as much interest to them, you have to be good at it, but most of her songs pull it off beautifully. she is one of my favorite artists.
for those who think this is a "boring" cover i've got to disagree. no it'll never be as good as the original, but it's the only cover i've heard by a woman that i like and she truly does have a beautiful voice.
&& for all those who think it's a boring song, you have to understand the meaning behind it. my dad chose this as a song at my mom memorial when she passed away last fall and i can't listen to it without it bringing tears to my eyes since.
Her voice is distinctive... but boring. And this version is a waste of time. No development from the original. James Taylor's original version is much, much better.
Everytime i listen to Dido. I can just sit back & close my eyes......and forget about all my troubles. I Love everything about Dido. Her Beauty,Talent,Warmth & Voice.
okay she has a beautiful voice and at least she doesnt well use to sing about the crap that is sung today like freaking pokerface ... or how about put it on ya ... rediculouse and if people have good tast in music like some of us do then they would think that this is not BORING !!
Dull songs? I dont believe that singing about addiction, relationships, being your own person, and life in general is boring whatsoever. What's your taste in music? - "i'll take you to the candy shop, let you lick my lollipop"???
Dido is amazing - Loved the cover - thank you for posting. Heard this for the first time a few weeks ago and was blown away.

Just yesterday morning they let me know you were gone
Susanne the plans they made put an end to you
I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song
I just can't remember who to send it to
I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again
