      I know what you mean, believe me. But the depth of that passion (and, for me, this is one of the all-time best songs) is so beautiful to see its hard to look away. Since the first time I saw her sing I thought she was beautiful

I did dine at LaPiazza, his favorite Italian restaurant in Fort Worth. He liked the Caesar salad with sliced tomatoes and garlic ravioli. Long ago I worked as an out-of-state volunteer for VCF trying to get a grant to have classical music appreciation taught in the public school curriculum. My background is in elementary education and early childhood development. Van Cliburn was the kindest, most humble artist I ever met and I will never forget him. His genius was palpable.

      I think you’ll find Jeff Buckley changed the whole way this song was performed and sung.. K.D. Lang does a fantastic job but she owes a lot to Buckley..she sings the same verses he sang which are selected from Cohen’s original longer song..she also sings the same beat.. Brilliant version but IMHO Buckley gives the best performance of this song..
