far out man this is so good, eva cassidy is so so talented what a shame the world never got to hear this great vocalist until after her passing rip...at least she gets to sing with the great musicians who have passed on ,
One of the greatest singers ever! The only thing is they didn't get the meaning of this song. She is singing to a girl about HIM (because she knows or he is telling a buddy about HER for the same reason. Very subtle. That's why they could have 'told you so'. They had been there and done that. So to speak. Having said that - Eva Cassidy was a miracle. So don't you folks get all excited about my critique of the use of pronouns in this rendition.
They're both warning (or consoling) a friend, a woman, about a guy who has done her wrong. The pronouns work fine for me. It's an aligned twosome singing about a rotter they both knew/know. And you forgot to close your parenthetical ;-)
MeelaESQ im sorry I don't agree that they didn't get the meaning of the song. They wanted a more intimate feeling but it works fine as the meaning you suggest.
I dearly love Eva. Bet your life on that. But, if you didn't know who was doing the vocal with Chuck Brown, wouldn't you almost swear it was Natilie Cole. I sure would, and that's not a bad thing.
