Fantastic song. Haven’t heard this version (yet) but the Jennifer Warnes’ album of a similar name is one of my all-time favourites. A collection of moving Leonard Cohen songs. Sublime….enjoy.

I particularly love the version on her Directors Cut album - makes me shiver each time I play it.
I also submit Among Angels from 50 Words For Snow. She played it as an encore at the first night of her Hammersmith Apollo stint - I was in tears (which doesn’t happen that often).

I remember Kenny Everett playing the master tape of this on air on his Saturday programme at Capital Radio
Even through a modest music centre and headphones it sounded beautiful.

H.I.M’s version should be avoided like the plague 
SOOO many great covers of this song, but I still think the original has the edge… 
Stone Sour and Theory of a Deadman have both done great versions.
I Loves You, Porgy - Nina Simone (Little Girl Blue/My Baby Just Cares For Me)
Taken from the Gershwin opera Porgy and Bess the song sees Bess plead with Porgy (her true love) not to allow her coercive and abusive lover Crown to take control of her life and separate them forever.
Nina is able to capture all the emotion and urgency of such a painful and grave situation.
Later in the opera Porgy kills Crown in a fight after Crown attempts to take Bess away with him.
