The Transformation of Orpheus
O cruel river, lift him up! Do not drown, don't snuff this one's fire...
transform this gentle Orpheus into living light
that joyful heals all our hearts!
Did he reach for musical notes in that Mississippi sun
and fall short in the eddies of derangement and confusion?
Too good to live? Again? How many magic-men of song
Ripped away by jealous devils, in deaths so wrong?
Ah, but he transforms, changes light itself
His soul freed in darkened river-stealth...

Anyone has the other version that got removed? It had a different intro and on youtube it had a picture of a sailor. I really liked that version tell me if you know of any mirrors

This is obviously great...everything Jeff did was pretty much great. I also like Rod Stewart's version.

Talanted young man but the best version of this song is Bob Dylan's from the Bootleg Series Vol. 4 where he sang this song live with Joan Baez and they forget the words a few times. Beautiful.

Jeff B. was incredible! His father Tim even better and more original (in my opinion). However, although this is a beautiful version of a fantastic tune, Bob Dylan does it best as is usually the case w. Bob D´s tunes. Thank´s for posting! V. interesting!

@TzinMT I'm not disagreeing with you but "seems he was also doomed to die young", it could be even though alot of the songs he sang and recorded spoke of some kind of premonetion that he was to die young. It could've just him being reckless and his death was an accident, Cause are those young children that die in very violent and impoverished nations also doomed to die young? All the same like all of us I wish it had never happened.

This song has been removed so many times it makes me sick.. everytime someone posts it on youtube, sony removes it.. it really is too beautiful (and especially this version) and I think it's a crime to just take this away from admirers ears..
