Who'd have known all those years ago, in a basement club in Calgary, a backup act to Sailcats would recreate the very best rendition of a national treasure's poem? I kneel to the plaid cowboy skirt of this performer from a tiny northern town who holds talent and skill enough to leave small clubs and dreams to pull those dreams into reality. KD... You are genuinely in the parthenon of talents,
This is the best K D Lang version of this song I have seen. Perfect setting, perfect accompaniment and no interjections from the appreciative audience. I believe it is from a BBC Sessions series filmed in a redundant chapel in London.
I've been looking for this version recently, I wasn't able to find it, but I'm so pleased I found it now.. K.D. Lang sings this song with perfection & with such fine emotion that leaves us all breathless! Thank you, Ms Lang! 😊❤
k.d.lang accompagnée ici par son pianiste Daniel Clarke c'est un bonheur à chaque écoute. k.d. s'est appropriée cette chanson en la portant encore plus haut que Leonard Cohen, c'est dire ce moment d'extase musical. Écouter cette voix c'est aussi apaiser votre âme. Une très grande musicienne aussi avec des musiciens hors pair. 😍🙌❤️💝
Leonard himself was present in the audience that night and he later praised this performance of hers abundantly. It was the night when Leo was inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall Of Fame.
