Hope Sandoval struggled if the crowd wasn’t completely quiet when she sang this song, it seemed to be a drain on her soul but when everyone shut up, they were enraptured by her haunting performance. I never imagined hearing someone else bringing as much emotion as Hope, but I’m ever so happily surprised. Thank you.

    I hope this version is playing when my oldest daughter comes looking for me. I lost her and her first sister to my ex. She had no interest in our daughters until I lost everything. It was the one thing that brought me the closest to suicide in my life. Thankfully I have my youngest daughter to help keep me alive.
    Beautiful cover!

    I absolutely adore ALL of the songs he does and, I would also love to hear him do something original but, even if he only ever does cover tunes, I would still buy any and every CD of him singing and playing his guitar. I could listen to him all day ❤❤ he really does have a great voice!

    I've never heard a song played so beautifully different from it's original. You made it sound so much deeper! It sounds as if it were a living memory of yours that hasn't faded among the many calamities of the long life. It's strange that your voice helps to feel the young girl's (or whoever be in her place) feelings way more shaply and vividly.
