General Cordswainer just put out a cover of this song. It's like a mix between Cat Power and Mazzy Star. Very sexy & a bit smoother than the Cat Stevens version. Totally recommended for your first dance at your wedding if you're a fan of Indie/Folk/Acoustic Rock.
Now I'm confused. Who does the diamond commercial, Liz or Cat Power? The commercial version is a bit faster, but just as beautiful. It would be hard to ruin this most loveliest of songs.
Is Liz Durrett and we are so lucky that finally this song can be found in Internet cause not to far ago, this version was exclusively for De Beers ad and wasn´t released for public.
@kittykitty0204 that version of cat power's "how can i tell u" was never recorded in full length as sad as that sounds :( those thirty secconds is all that exists of that song
I really love this version, much better than the Cat Stevens version. His is really too fast for such a beautiful love song. I would REALLY like to get Cat Power's version!!
i tell you guys. i can die happy if i can get a full version of CAT POWER's cover of this beautiful song. i'm in love with this song. thanks cat stevens.
I still like the Cat Power version better... too bad for me.
But i gotta say, i like this song in a woman's voice overall.... It's kinda cliché i think for a guy to be singing about being unable to confess his love.
There's merit to the idea, but it's refreshing to hear it from a woman... and like the vesion by Cat Power, i think it makes it more nostalgic. She makes it sound more broken, more raw... and that has a positive effect on the lyrics overall. Me want.... :'-(
Because "I can't think of right words to say..." Didn't you listen to the song? No really, I know telling him seems like the obvious thing to do, but it's slightly more complicated than that. He and I rarely even talk anymore and tragically I think he'd like to forget about me. So, I'm just trying to leave well enough alone while simultaneously wondering if/when things will truly ever be "well enough" in my soul. I desire not to let him go even though that may be the best thing for me to do.
Ok. I'm sorry, but how [bitter] sweet is this? It perfectly expresses what I feel for someone and yet I doubt he'll ever know. I often come here to remember him.

I absolutely love this video and the song as well. So much so that I've listened to it every day since a certain someone instructed me to view the video. I thought he was trying to convey his love for me, but turns out that he just liked the video...Bummer!
I think Liz durret lacks an element cat stevens and cat power have. Besides that, it was a good song and she did a pretty good job. the video was also good.
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been looking for this version high and low! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!
