She SO feels this song in this performance and puts her all into it. Just look at her expression at the end..

Truly moving - brough tears to my eyes - Ithink she had some in hers.

One of the all time greats - as is she.

Julie's contribution to peace is unmatched as is her contribution to music

"From a distance, you look like my friend, even though we are at war, from a distance we can't comprehend, what all this war is for." - brilliant and timeless line that never fails to make me tear up.
