"The Joy of Living", Ewan Maccoll
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sseyUtOvetA

Farewell to you my chicks, soon you must fly alone
Flesh of my flesh, my future life, bone of my bone
Make your wings be strong, may your day long
Safe be your journey
Each of you bears inside of you the gift of Love;
May it bring you light and warmth and the pleasure of living
Eagerly savor new day in the taste of its mouth
Never lose sight of the thrill, and the joy of living

"East Bound and Down," Jerry Reed

 

[2takesfrakes]

All my life, I could love only you.
All your life, you could love only me.
Tell me why, then ... why should it be that
We go on hurting each other, without ever knowing

... why?

YES! There you go, HIjol - you got it, brother! The Artistry and Musicianship on display here, is impressive!

I love how it's the bass supporting the song, at first, whilst Johnette's singing what sounds like a typical love song. At the same time, there's this undercurrent of sadness in the guitar's feedback and distortion. Then, as the lyrics reveal more, the guitar almost drowns out the bass, in the end. And, at the end, there's Johnette's vocals persistantly pleading, almost as a litany:

Can't we stop hurting eachother?
Gotta stop hurting eachother.
Breaking eachother's hearts.
Tearing eachother apart ...

The guitar ends up overtaking even the vocals, with its heart-wrenching, tortured anguish and despair, and then the vocals just stop, altogether. It's good stuff! This song's an emotional bath! And, quite possibly, my favourite cover of all time. Far superior to the original, in fact, though I suspect Johnette Napolitano would disagree with that assessment ...
