My favourite version by Johnny Cash. A love song sung by an old man, just sounds so genuine.

Lovely!

Great song!

Aw man! You guys ROCK!

The Doors, “Love Street”

John Fahey, “In Christ There Is No East or West”

The Jefferson Airplane, “Embryonic Journey”

Tim Hardin, “Black Sheep Boy”

Jimi Hendrix, “Little Wing”

The Beatles, “Across the Universe”

Barroom Girls

Joe Cocker’s You are So Beautiful
Written by Randy Newman I guess

Elvis Costello’s Good Year For The Roses

Nick Cave Breathless

Leonard Cohen Joan of Arc

Home Thoughts From Abroad

Had to pimp that one.
The Lenny Cohen brought a tear…as did the Issac Hayes and Saddle Tramp.

Lot of good music…no matter what my damn wife says.

Now you lot are WORKING!

How about:

Tom Waits - Yesterday Is Here

Here’s one for Ms Buttercup:

The House Of Love - Christine

If I was going Tom Wait’s I’d be going “Innocent When You Dream”

I wanted to be a little obscure. I love that song. “Time” was also on my list. “Yesterday Is Here” is so haunting, though.
