Madeleine Peyroux - Dance Me To The End of Love
Careless Love
_______________________________________
Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic 'til I'm gathered safely in
Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
Let me see your beauty when the witnesses are gone
Let me feel you moving like they do in Babylon
Show me slowly what I only know the limits of
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the wedding now, dance me on and on
Dance me very tenderly and dance me very long
We're both of us beneath our love, we're both of us above
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the children who are asking to be born
Dance me through the curtains that our kisses have outworn
Raise a tent of shelter now, though every thread is torn
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic till I'm gathered safely in
Touch me with your naked hand or touch me with your glove
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
@karinablacktie Wow, I didn't know that about her first album. Can't say as I blame her for not wanting to put up with the many downsides of fame. Much respect to her for that.

@bindi06 Actually her first album had rave reviews and a promise of a great career but she did not want to deal with stardom. She took a few years off and went back to busking on the streets. She loves sharing her music but prefers to keep a low profile. More credit to her.

There is definitely something Billy Holidayish in her voice. And boy, what she can do with it!

I first heard this on episode of Nip/Tuck and immediately fell in love with this song. Her voice reminds me, in a way, of Billie Holiday. Why are singers such as Madeleine not promoted more? What a beautiful, soulful, gifted voice.

Some years ago I got to hear her sing this and I was amazed. Her voice is awesome.

From the moment I heard this song, I loved it. I like this version best because it is the first one I heard, and she sings it beautifully.

Aurora...
Emerge...
Una luminosità di luce rossa e calda...
Incontro i momenti dell' amore...
Scopro...
L’aurora della mia vita...

It is good, no doubt, yet the original version moves the heart and soul almost like no other piece of music. It's a different rendition, but of a song so filled with poetry, that it feels like it does no justice at all to the emotion it otherwise contains.

Spectacular. Great rendition of Leonar Cohen's superb lyrics and music. She does sound a great deal like Lady Day (Billie Holiday), still a great interpretation. Thank you.
