Unfortunately I knew exactly what the lyrics of this song were about the minute I heard it. My cousin died of AIDS in his 20's. It was heartbreaking. This song completely speaks to that event. Fortunately the song is absolutely beautiful and performed magnificently by Herbie and Annie. I loved my dear cousin and I love this song. Thank you!
This is one of the best pieces of music I have ever heard - in my top 10 - Paula is the great surprise to me here - she radiates from within the song.. great beauty..inciteful, careful and emotional - no wonder Gabriel wanted to work with her.. All time fav..
I love the care and dedication they put into each piece. Learning the origins of the story, and contemplating the proper flavor to give it while preserving the original intent. The work of masters.
Herbie Hancock and Annie Lennox making a Paula Cole cover... What a delight to my ears, soul and heart. Thank you so much for uploading this, I'll keep it like a little trasure!
I first came upon this maybe about 15 years ago, a bootleg copy of "The Making of...". Although the musicianship scattered throughout this video is remarkable, the making of this song ... Paula Cole's explanation, and the moment Herbie and Annie found out the real meaning ... always brings me to tears. Always.
