Amanda, I hear Simon Cowell is about to unleash something monstrous upon the British public in the form of this song. I thought I'd apply the original in advance as a homeopathic prophylactic measure.
And monstrous it is, I fear my ears will not recover and Jeff Buckleys' version is like a bowl of used washing up water! I see one of your readers posted the song by Leonard ahead of time. Begs the question why would Leonard give permission for such a 'murder of song' to occur. Hallelujah for antedotes!
no antidote
ReplyDeleteleast not now
hallelu...
Ha ha, I bought the Jeff Buckley version on iTunes this morning.
ReplyDeleteBit cryptic there, Z.

ReplyDeleteLeonard doesn't care. He's sleeping in the tower of song dreaming of the new money.
ReplyDeletebullshit.
ReplyDeleteJeff Buckley version is stellar. Totally disagree with that one....
Leonard is the fucking gov!
ReplyDeleteA bit cryptic, indeed. What the hell do I mean haha!
ReplyDeleteThis song seems to have caused a bit of a discussion - cool.
Jeff Buckleys cover is cool as is Rufus Wainwright, but have to agree with anon - Leonard is the gov.
stay cool
