I can't get enough of this version. Johnette nailed this one for all time. Brilliant, timeless song. My Wife and I can't help but sing along to this on road trips. You have to.
MY name is Joey,i feel like the song was written for me.drugs& alcohol ended my relationships,i feel the words,i can still hear my ex-calling my name (Joey come home, I'm not angry anymore.) beautiful song, painful to hear..
The first time I heard this song, well after it was released I was in Chicago on Harlem Ave before 79th street and I cried like a baby. The emotion of this song was overwhelming, and I ain't an emotional guy. Beautiful and as a man hearing this from a strong woman's perspective was just beautiful. angry, compassionate and sincere. Love the song ! And when I told all my friends about this song they said "yeah dude it was a huge hit like 6 years ago."
How can she not b ranked among 1 the greatest of all time. Her voice n sound changed my idea of what music is. She haunts my reality & awakens my dreams. There will never be another talent such as this band.. I know u will remember cuz the music is forever..
Thank you for this version. My favorite since I first heard this song in the late 80s. Moves me to tears every time. Almost 16yrs sober and I miss my loved ones who didn't make it.
As if the original version wasn't powerful enough. This one really brings it to a more personal level. Thanks for posting this, it's a first listen for me. Music is so powerful and I'm always discovering new versions of classics that keep the song fresh. Reading the comments adds to the meaning of every song as well. Thanks all for sharing.
The stats on this are amazing. I'm surprised on the Gender. I would of thought it would of been more female. 25,524 views Likes * 132 Dislikes * 3 Comments 32 ▲ Shares * 120 Favorites added 110 ▲ Male 67% Female 33% United States 0.0% 13-17 years 5.7% 18-24 years 18% 25-34 years 39% 35-44 years 27% 45-54 years 8.9% 55-64 years 1.7% 65+ years Canada 0.0% 13-17 years 12% 18-24 years 28% 25-34 years 33% 35-44 years 22% 45-54 years 5.4% 55-64 years 0.0% 65+ years
Probably one of the most underrated albums all time.an absolute pearl bloodletting is .the vocals r spine tingling and understated with so much pure power, that is unusual and extraordinary.
Lost my Joey a year ago in a work accident and this song was played at his funeral. I was in the USA and he was in Australia when we met Sent him this song after we met,18 years later I'm down under and do ever miss Joey.
Where in the hell have I been? This is by far the most passionate, beautiful and painfully gorgeous version I have ever heard! The pain, damn it, the pain she has. Tragic
J. N. Is a Singer/ Artist that sings from a Deep Soul !!! You can feel an hear the Rich Tones of her Very being. She's a Masterpiece!!!! I 💕 you J. N!!!!
John Swaim Hang in there man. 41 yrs. old. My wife of 6 years , 15 before marriage , just left me. You do you , John Swaim - alright buddy. I don't know you , but unless you're a self-admitted asshole , I am certain you have friends and family that care about you. Don't be an asshole to them , whatever may be bringing you down - people care.
oh esta versión está hermosa, conocí a Concrete Blonde cuando tenía 18, ahora con 49 aun me hace sonreir, cantar, llorar, que bella voz. Saludos de Chile
she was up there with Grace Slick of the Airplane and Janis Joplin This version is awesome.. great voice Beats me how this woman didn't have a lot more success
Thank you for posting this. It sounds like her soul is bare, which is the most human thing of all. I love this woman, her voice, and this song 4 ever ❤ This version is amazing, i got the chills.... i loooove your voice ! very good stuff !
I saw the question, "why is she not a national treasure?", and I was in a rush to say," to some she is". What a unique voice and I'm overjoyed that some people can deliver that and have the courtesy to leave my heart in place, so I can continue to function.
Best version of this song I've ever heard. It's a personal favorite song and I'll listen to it however it's performed. But, yeah, this is the best version.all the right growls and peaks.
Listening to this song always reminds me of the lost love of my life. Her name was Dottie and she was the best in the world. Going to my grave with that loss engraved deep in my heart and soul.
Thank you for posting this. It sounds like her soul is bare, which is the most human thing of all. she just made love to us yall. she was up there with Grace Slick of the Airplane and Janis Joplin

Best female RnR voice hands down. Songwriter and musician too....the real deal and full package!!

Simply ... Don`t know if the best, but for me she Is.
If Janis was alive, she would approve.

+Martha Spangler Thank you, glad you enjoyed this version.
this song shakes me to the core. loving someone till you are destroyed. their alcohol was their true love.
😢

I fight that first vodka every fuck'n day. Music like this puts me in that mood.
John Swaim Hang in there man.
41 yrs. old. My wife of 6 years , 15 before marriage , just left me.
You do you , John Swaim - alright buddy. I don't know you , but unless you're a self-admitted asshole , I am certain you have friends and family that care about you. Don't be an asshole to them , whatever may be bringing you down - people care.
You ever get that drink?
"I'm not angry any more" - "what a WONDERFUL world it would be"

OH MY GOD. CHILLS. Why is she not a national treasure?
I saw the question, "why is she not a national treasure?", and I was in a rush to say," to some she is". What a unique voice and I'm overjoyed that some people can deliver that and have the courtesy to leave my heart in place, so I can continue to function.
America is too stupid to recognize genuine Treasures
When God was handing out voices he gave her a sensational one! She is awesome!
Jerry W definitely!
This is a deep song and the way it’s sung triggers interesting psychological reactions. This voice is one in a million...soulful and from the gut.
Such a beautiful voice

James Campbell indeed! I wonder if there’s a video recording of this somewhere? I haven’t been able to locate it yet if there is.
