    I was moved to tears but, in a good way. I lost my brother July 2017, my father March 2018 and my best friend of 34 years August 2018. There are many forms of love besides romantic. This music touched my soul. I have been too busy taking care of my family after all of the tragedies that I never really got to feel the loss so a sincere thank you for sharing. I really needed to feel these emotions.

    Her tone, her phrasing, her crescendos, her oh so perfect notes held in mid-air that feel as though God speaks through her. This woman possessed a voice unequaled or unsurpassed anywhere or any when! Her talent ended way too soon but these recordings are a testimony to the proof that she lived among us and the world should be grateful of that. Sorry, her voice never fails to bring my waterfalls out.

      No it isn’t, actually. Eva’s original acoustic version of this is… years after she passed away the orchestra was added to the original, which was performed live on January 3rd 1996 at the Blues Ally Jazz Club. Please look it up here and be amazed.

    • @robham7752
      @robham7752 Před 3 lety +6

      I like the live acoustic version better. This version buries her guitar under tons of orchestration. Her guitar was an important part of all her songs, it was like an extension of her voice. She obviously put a lot of thought and effort into her playing. And to be able to sing like that while playing a melody on an instrument is pretty amazing.

    • @commontater8630
      @commontater8630 Před 2 lety +1

      @@robham7752 It doesn't just bury her guitar: I listened to the first several lines of the song, cutting back and forth between the acoustic and the orchestrated versions, and it's appalling how the orchestra undercuts Eva's vocal phrasing. Buried, hell -- swamped is more like it.
      Drain the swamp! If anyone out there hasn't heard the acoustic version, do yourself a favor: here it is. czcams.com/video/xXBNlApwh0c/video.html

    Not only did she have a voice like an angel; her phrasing and musical fluidity were creative perfection. Eva proves that while most singers also have to also be songwriters to get noticed, every once in a while, along comes an interpreter whose stamp is so indelible that the song becomes theirs forever. Eva did it with Autumn Leaves, Over the Rainbow, Time After Time, and so many others.

    the first singer that truly understood what this song could have been about - like so much of her music, it deals with the death and loss of loved ones - the emptiness that is left - lot some others, I kind of like that sparse her only version, but this is breathtaking as well - and of course, moves one to tears - I am always happy that no one is around when I listen so I cannot see me crying to myself and I do not have to answer their question, "What is wrong"

    This is a beautiful concoction, lovingly presented, but I feel the original is as good as it gets. Simple, spare and very spacious, her unique interpretation of this song amounts to the greatest vocal performance of my experience. Some people are struck dumb on their first hearing! I listen 10 times a year or more and it never, never leaves me wanting more. I usually blow my nose after listening to her sing almost anything.

      Fraser - as subtly scored as this orchestral version may be, I couldn’t agree with you more. The acoustic version that I originally heard from the Live at Blues Alley session remains - along with her People Get Ready- among the most emotionally resonant vocal performances of my lifetime. We were truly robbed by her passing. I don’t know why it took me so long to stumble across these videos, and while it’s not like I’ve not heard most of these performances before, it’s like the first time all over again.

    I’ve discovered (as strange as it may seem) there are some people who haven’t experienced the kind of heartbreak expressed in this incredible song. For those of us who know the unbearable pain of a broken heart; there are certain songs that express this unique human experience in a singular way. For myself there are two songs that are so beautifully and artfully expressed they stand above all others. One is “I Can’t Make You Love Me” composed by Mike Reid and Allen Shamblin; and the other is this song composed by Joseph Kosma in 1945. The original lyrics were written by Jacques Prévert in French, and the English lyrics were by Johnny Mercer. Sinatra recorded an incredible version 60 years ago; now we are blessed with this otherworldly rendition by Eva Cassidy with orchestral arrangement by Christopher Willis.
