It's a very personal song for me. I got involved with an older woman some years back and she used to play this to me. She wasn't in a relationship as such, but her previous relationship was still hard for her to let go of. In the end I backed out, not out of any moral reasoning, but more for selfish reasons.
Heard this song in “10 Things I Hate About You” movie with Julia Stiles and Heath Ledger. What an amazing talent and beautiful song. How have I never heard of this AMAZING singer? I will be looking for more from her…she is fantastic!
"Are you so strong or is the weakness in me? Waking from tormented sleep." Two of my favourite lines ever. An absolutely mesmerising performance. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I have just seen 10 things I hate about you, and heard this song; now I just found this from 2 years ago AND GOSH HER AMAZING VOICE AND MUSICAL TALENT ON THE PIANO BLOWED MY MIND 🤯. REALLY WHAT EXTRAORDINARY VOICE SHE HAS AFTER ALL THESE YEARS ❤
I remember seeing her at the Albert Hall in about 1980. Her voice and songs are something we never hear these days. They are beautiful, sensitive, touching and sung with the most wonderful voice. She really stands out yet I don’t think she was appreciated enough.
Though officially retired from touring, I hope Ms. Armatrading still does mini tours....she is on my bucket list to see her one more time in concert before leaving this planet.
Come across this lady on a music channel playing 80s music,had to ask me dad who she was and why shes not a household name, he said she was amazing, great voice and artist. Criminally underrated. Seems like she still got it. Fantastic artist. Go Joan 👌
Wonderful just wonderful Joan one of the greatest artists the uk has ever produced! Exceptional singer songwriter not enough airplay for this legend shame on you, give us more please
I heard a busker doing it on Broadway Market in London maybe 5 or 6 years ago and it took me right back to being a child and watching / listening to my mum listen to it in her living room. I gave some money and asked him if he'd be so kind to play it again....and I think that's as close as anyone could come to nailing a cover of this song.
1 dislike, WTF? Do people just dislike stuff for the sake of it? Even if your not a fan of this type of music surely you can still appreciate a wonderful talent, she is a master of her craft and this is masterful.
Amazing! A beautiful friend introduced me to Joan's music in the late 70's and she continues to be my # 1 fav of all time! Through all my up times and down times ... Joan has been there. My life would not be complete without the sounds of Joan Armatrading! Much love and respect to you Lady J 💖
I wish I could remember how I first hear her; you say '69; mine was a wee bit earlier. My parents were worried because I'd pick up the needle and play this song over and over. Still makes me cry. Massive talent and magnificent woman, Joan Armatrading.
Love this I related to this song back in 1990 and always wonder what if?I had chosen another life with another person,I guess now I will never know but it still cuts deep sometimes…..and you can’t help wonder…..
Thank you from the depths of my heart and soul for your lyrics, voice and music Joan. You’ve made life so much better for so many of us with your poetry.
I got to know this song, from the movie "10 Things I Hate About You". Since then, I've been in love with this lyrics, what a beautiful thing. Even more so, in this version.❤️
I'm here to tell you, that Joan is as good as it gets!!! And always has been. Love her and have all of her recordings. I remember when she first hit the scene and she still sounds great and is an absolutely fantastic songwriter.
This song hit me when I watched 10 things and I at first thought it was tracy chapman but now I find myself listening to a new talented artist wow I do love her conviction in this song.
Can you believe that this lady sings and looks like this at 70! A living legend.
Daniel have loved her for almost 40 yrs❤.
As I have. Didn't catch on in USA like She should have, but nevertheless she continues to put out terrific music.
I saw her play 45 years ago at Berkeley High School (venue in US) drove 5 hours to see her.
This has been making me cry for 40 years now xxxx
Does not get any better; the woman's a superstar.
Probably the best song about the frustration of split attraction ever written - a timeless masterpiece.
My favourite song of all time. But the million dollar question remains...I wonder who she let go.
MIne too Emma and it has special meaning to me. As a grown man, I well up and cry when I listen to this. Best song ever!!

my favorite from her is It Could Have Been Better,which i have listened to at least hundreds of times in weeks' time.
Run out and buy everything by Joan. I first heard her in high school which tells you a lot about my age as I'll be 69 this year.
@@JamesHarris-hl2bmfantastic. I love great music no matter when it was made or what genre it is. Great is great.
"Are you so strong or is the weakness in me? Waking from tormented sleep."
Two of my favourite lines ever. An absolutely mesmerising performance. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Wow! She's still got it! An under-estimated, under-recognised legend! I want more! ❤
Damn.... this song and her voice make me cry every time.
me too...
Yes. Every time. Which is a hundred times by now. It’s the weakness in me.
Incredible artists like Joan don't need much. Just give them a piano or a guitar, and the show is "On!"
Same, so brilliantly written just beautiful
Her voice is as strong as 30 years ago. Wonderful

Even stronger 😭❤️
she still can make me cry
now that kids is what you call musical talent

I loved her smile at the end. She's incredible and she knows it
Though officially retired from touring, I hope Ms. Armatrading still does mini tours....she is on my bucket list to see her one more time in concert before leaving this planet.
This brings tears to my eyes, it is so beautiful and Joan Armatrading and her music have meant so much to me in my life.
Joan you are a beast..the soul in that voice is tormenting
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Can't love 2 people at once without breaking someone's heart...great song about a taboo subject
What a song.. always the best
What a voice she has. Love this song

Living legend. Hammering the song out and nailing the piano too.
Amazing Joan. I love this song it's a classic and no one can touch Joan's original and beautiful way of singing it. God Bless you Joan.
Never fails to raise a tear. As close to the perfect song as I think I'll ever hear

What a wonderful talent! One of the most beautiful love songs ever in my opinion. We've all been there! Love you Joan.
some songs can't be covered, this is one of them. Joan, simply beautiful.
Keisha Whites version is good

You need to listen to Etana's cover. She's the best.

Some people are just killjoys. U dislike this song and claim u r sane?
The world is a busy pace positivity, yet feel for the sadness, she as re the real love, higher than the intended,!

This song literally always makes me cry. She sounds so heartbroken.
She is still a goddess
Been in love with her since 69. She just gets better and better.
I wish I could remember how I first hear her; you say '69; mine was a wee bit earlier. My parents were worried because I'd pick up the needle and play this song over and over. Still makes me cry. Massive talent and magnificent woman, Joan Armatrading.
First saw JA live supporting Supertramp in 1975 at the Birmingham Odeon. She blew them off the stage. Been a massive fan ever since!!
Wow. I bet she did! Why even take the stage after that.
Love this I related to this song back in 1990 and always wonder what if?I had chosen another life with another person,I guess now I will never know but it still cuts deep sometimes…..and you can’t help wonder…..
Been there, done that, bought the t shirt
Incredible live version of a great song . I think Joan has lived this one, haven't many of us!
My God. This song. That voice. Those words. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Your voice is addicting. Love your passion.
That piano sends shivers down my spine. What a treasure you are Joan!
What a beautiful version of a song she had done so differently, which was equally as beautiful, of course. What a great Lady 👃
Love this track...brings a tear to the eye every time
Joan, you break my heart and inspire me all at the same time every time I listen to you perform....thank you for so many beautiful songs!
Just me again. This is such a beautiful song.
My God... she totally nailed it.. if you have ever been in this position
First hurd her in 76 been hooked ever since !!!!!
18 years on and still the connection to this song burns as strong as it did then.
