Thank for letting us know about "Lamentartions." I had no idea the song had such origins. I think he captures its beauty in this song.

Don't get much better than this, as far as songwriting is concerned. One of the most beautiful songs i've ever heard. One of my favorites from him!

Toen ik gisteravond in 20 Feet from Stardom zag dat een aantal zangeressen met Paul Simon had gewerkt, moest ik direct aan dit nummer denken. Prachtige vocals....

With G-d's help; Tzahal returned jerusalem to the nation of Israel. We will never leave her again.

Lamentations 1 1 How lonely lies the city that once thronged with people! Once great among the nations, now she is like a widow! Once princess among provinces, she has become a vassal. 2 Bitterly she weeps at night, tears running down her cheeks. Not one of all her lovers is there to comfort her. Her friends have all betrayed her; they have become her enemies.

Haven't heard this one...the man is truly a genius - its just amazing what he does vocally and how he interweaves those brilliant lyrics with such a complicated bunch of changes - He does it with every tune of his...just amazing.

Anyone know where to find the acoustic version of this found in the movie SHAMPOO?

Hello and many thanks on 27 January - the day dedicated to the shoa victims. For a couple of months, I wanted to hear this song. While the melody requires repetitive listening, the lyrics talk to human hearts right away. Your video has enabled me to realize that the straightforward ending comes after the metaphorical introduction exactly at the right moment. This song is a hidden diamond, crude and beautiful.
