Jeff Buckley brought me here . But i remember this version as a kid , She also knocked this song out of the park , what a voice and version of this song .
She’s right up there as one of our best ladies , effortlessly talented, so cool , somehow makes every song she sings seems like she is the only one to record it 💋
Always adored this beautiful, haunting song! I was 10 years old when it charted in 1978. That singular, gentle oboe on the courus still sends shivvers down my spine, as does the sparkling quality of Elkie's gorgeous voice. Weird thing is a grew up to be a Metal head & techno lover. Elkie had such elegance & class. Lovely memories!
I just got back from seeing Elkie live for the first time, I was prepared for a bit of wear and tear in her voice I WAS WRONG!!!!, she was absolutely, unbelievably, superb as was her band, if you get the chance you should try to get a ticket to see her during the rest of her tour.
Can’t believe only so few likes . Obviously don’t know how talented and how powerful beautiful her voice is just amazing always played this song over and over amazing lady and a Manchester girl ❤️🤗
One of the very few who can deliver a cover version a thousand miles ahead of the original. I saw her live in performance only a few years ago (I'm writing in 2021) and she was wonderful, completely technically excellent, but, most importantly, she delivered every emotional moment as she always, always, does.
I lost myself on a cool damp night Gave myself in that misty light Was hypnotized by a strange delight Under a lilac tree I made wine from the lilac tree Lost my heart in its recipe Made me see what I want to see Be what I want to be But I think more than I ought to think And do things I never should do I drink much more that I ought to drink Because it brings me back you Lilac wine is sweet and heady Like my love Lilac wine, I feel unsteady Like my love Listen to me I cannot see clearly Isn't that he coming to me Nearly here? Lilac wine is sweet and heady Where's my love? Lilac wine, I feel unsteady Where's my love? Listen to me Why is everything so hazy? Isn't that he Or am I going crazy, dear? Lilac wine, I feel I'm ready For my love Feel I'm ready For my love.
Excellent quality I think! One of my favourite songs sung beautifully by a beautiful lady with, in my opinion, one of the greatest voices ever. She puts everything into this song but doesn't overdo it and holds those notes amazingly well. Thank you kindly for this!
