this is my favourite version of this song. But heard a man sing it today at a funeral and it was lovely with a fabulous pianist. June Tabor's version is enhanced by the cello
Poignant. Brings tears at times. My Great Grandfather was killed in WWI outside Cambrai, in Picardy. I went across on the centenary of his death and the Battle of Cambrai. When I hear this I think of him, even though I only knew his wife, my Great Great Grandmother, as a boy. June Tabor's is the best version/rendition I've heard.
Incredibly poignant. (who gives June or the song a thumbs down? Having bothered to listen if it's not your 'genre' say so, which you didn't, but disliking it? It's either a bit lazy of you or you have unbelievable taste in music in the worst possible sense)
I Had the amazing experience of seeing this concert live. JT can make almost any song sound deep, meaningful and REAL - I had tears in my eyes. My great Uncle used to sing it to me. I'm a singer too and actually met her after the show, I told her that she was the only singer I had ever heard who never needed backing vocals. They would detract from her performances. Amazing Lady. xxx
