    Knowing how to SING a song is not just about saying the words or belting them out as loudly as possible. Pop singers today seem to have forgotten that. Petula Clark could teach them a thing or two or three. This version is awesome, and I say that as a fan of the Dusty version too!

    • @darrenplumpton1203

      I would say that Petula's perfect diction and crystal clear vocals are sufficient to say that she as done it once again.
      Petula is magnificent at finding classic songs and then putting her own spin on them and then making them her own.
      It must be the brilliant actress she iscoming out.
      She sings this song perfectly just like she does with other songs she as recorded such as "Homeward Bound" and "Fool On The Hill."
      She is incredibly inventive with how, through her expert knowledge,she knows with pin point accuratecy how she wants to put across a song to her fans and the audience.
      I have never seen such spendid results from anybody else but Petula.
      It is a uniqueness she as all to herself.
      And it is us her fans who are in receipt of the rewards.

      If people want to know what makes a great singer, analyze Petula Clark. She has everything and then some. You're right. Many if not most singers today think screaming, twerking, and occasionally hitting a reasonably sound note is more than enough.

    For those who are interested, this is better than La Streisand's version. Why? The tempo alone, as it's moving, moving, moving relentlessly like a windmill. Her voice is compelling (as always-- a real voice).and her diction is impeccable, as it must be moving at this tempo. A really fine, fine job.

      Downtown is Petula's signature song but she as recorded songs that are very much equal to Downtown.
      Don't Sleep In The Subway Darling, Don't Give Up,I Know A Place,A Sign Of The Times, The Other Man's Grass Is Always Greener are just a few of the many awesome songs that Petula as recorded.
      Listen to them and you will not be disappointed.

    Round
    Like a circle in a spiral
    Like a wheel within a wheel
    Never ending or beginning
    On an ever-spinning reel
    Like a snowball down a mountain
    Or a carnival balloon
    Like a carousel that's turning
    Running rings around the moon
    Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
    Past the minutes of its face
    And the world is like an apple
    Whirling silently in space
    Like the circles that you find
    In the windmills of your mind
    Like a tunnel that you follow
    To a tunnel of its own
    Down a hollow to a cavern
    Where the sun has never shone
    Like a door that keeps revolving
    In a half-forgotten dream
    Or the ripples from a pebble
    Someone tosses in a stream
    Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
    Past the minutes of its face
    And the world is like an apple
    Whirling silently in space
    Like the circles that you find
    In the windmills of your mind
    Keys that jingle in your pocket
    Words that jangle in your head
    Why did summer go so quickly?
    Was it something that I said?
    Lovers walk along a shore
    And leave their footprints in the sand
    Is the sound of distant drumming
    Just the fingers of your hand?
    Pictures hanging in a hallway
    And the fragment of a song
    Half-remembered names and faces
    But to whom do they belong?
    When you knew that it was over
    In the autumn of goodbyes
    For a moment you could not recall
    The colour of his eyes
    Like a circle in a spiral
    Like a wheel within a wheel
    Never ending or beginning
    On an ever-spinning reel
    As the images unwind
    Like the circles that you find
    In the windmills of your mind

    I think this was the version I was trying to remember. I very vaguely remember this being on the radio when I was little, but it wasn’t the hesitant version of Noel Harrison (I think that was his name) or the more fluid Dusty Springfield cover... it was a woman singing it and it adhered more to the spiraling musical structure which really brought out the slightly manic tone of the song as a whole. It’s nervous breakdown music... or something you listen to in order to prevent one.

    This is exactly how this song shouldn’t be sung. It’s so weird to hear different singers try to put their own stamp on it by messing with the rhythm....and by doing that, they totally ruin the harried nature of the lyrics, meant to convey crowded confusion in someone’s mind. Just as the title instructs. Then, of course, they all open their throttles and start belting at some point, which also ruins it! Noel Harrison “got it” right, in my opinion, bc he evokes the mood the song is trying to convey. There isn’t even a stop or musical break at the end of the verses, they go spinning one into another, and another, exactly as intense emotions spin in our heads when something important ends, and we wonder what happened. And that’s the magic of this song: spinning smoothly, no syncopation, no breaks, no rubato, nothing imposed, anywhere. It is what it is, simple, a bit harried, soft, no big production. Not like this!

      I think you are in the minority here ,you are entitled to your opinion but Petula is a song stylist and always gives her own take on a song and I love it .
