What a gorgeous, feeling performance of Cohen's classic. (Of course, I consider at least half of Leonard's songs classic.) Wonder why she changed "holy dove" to "holy ghost." I prefer the way it was written, probably because it doesn't carry so much "Christian" baggage.
We in the UK have just been subjected to this song being destroyed by the finalists on the
'X Factor', I have saved this and the version by Jeff Buckley to restore this song as a classic in my mind, this must be by far the Best version by a female singer.
What a voice and her feeling for the lyrics is tremendous.
A couple of months ago, I saw her in Frankfurt in the Mampe. I was there very early and I came in just in the moment when she starts singing this song for a sound check. it was absoulut unbelievable. This fabtastic voice within this small location, this extremly friendly little woman singing this wonderful song a couple of meters in front of me. My heart stopped beating for a while and tears shot in my eyes. Never in my life, I will forget this moment. Thank you Allison.
this song is very great for me , i know ALLISON thank this performance , every time is emotion ... i hope to see in ITALY .
