    You know I come back to this every now and then just to remind me how good it is.
    And it still is utter magic

    This is fantastic. A great, simple, effective sound. What a cracking melody and beautiful lyrics

    Again, a reason for music

  4. Tinhamper says:

    It must be one of his proudest moments….a song with meaning, being sung with your son. I doubt Teddy will ever forget either. Good on ‘em.

    His best songs are so tortured. … that is why they are so memorable.
    … and that’s why they are the best.

    Sublime. Richard brilliant as always. Teddy’s vocal timbre owes a lot to Mum.
    He’s got great musical genes! What a family!

    @Velocity500,thank’s man,it was a special night for sure,he stepped on the little stage and says “:what?? where am I” and everyone just busted out laughin and he just ripped into a song and never really stopped,then for his last he did the “B” song as he called it,it was almost as if he was so sick of singing it,but to me it was pure magik cause the song has big meaning to me and to see him perform it about 3 feet away was simply amazing.

  21. velocity500 says:

    @marlok1964 In a similar vein, and what shows who RT is, he did a show in Seattle back in the early 90′s (he was dating someone from near by). Well, something was off, cause usually his shows sell out, there was perhaps 40 people in the club. Did a great show regardless, and came back afterward and sat down amongst the guests at a table and did an encore sans mike. Then spent about 20 minutes just responding to questions and talking about music, life, etc…amazin

  22. Sparco41e says:

    Very nice performance. I like the expression on RT’s face at about 3:50 and wonder who he was making eye contact with at that point.

  23. rokedetbamidbar says:

    Easily one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard.

  24. marlok1964 says:

    Richard made a very rare appearance while blowing through town in Amenia NY ,I think 2005?? it was at a Inn/Rest,and the seating was for about 60 people,very intimate.I was lucky to get there early and get a seat middle front.Actually I got there so early,living only minutes away that he and his family were on the patio at the inn having private moments I said a quaint hello,left and then came back.I bought My Takamine cutaway with me and he was gracious enough to sign it.WHAT A SHOW HE DID

    @defenestrator12 no it doesnt make you shallow…to each his own. this version however is just so much more soulful which finns version lacks.
