I had not heard this version before. I do like it at least as much as the original. However, the video accompaniment enhances the album version for me.

Yeah, I know, I love the video... I love dancing around in my room to this one even more, though. What do you think of the subject matter, philosophically? Lyrically, I think it's an an incredible song.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. She has such an interesting voice, and her lyrics are amazing to no end! I'm really enjoying the videos, too. I'd only heard vaguely of Dead Can Dance, but this makes me want to check them out.

^ I like these very much. And though I've seen the Kate and Peter Gabriel link, I'm glad you brought it to my attention again. It's a lovely song.

Wow, tannis and rosabelbelieve...thanks for this. I had all but forgotten about Cocteau Twins...I only briefly heard a couple of their tunes back in the 80s, but they fell off my radar. Now Elizabeth Fraser is right back on it...

I'm glad you were reminded of them. They are very good, aren't they? I only have one of their albums so far, but I certainly want more.
