Whilst researching, earlier today, the soundtrack for “something” I won’t be mentioning or sharing in any real detail for quite a while, I stumbled across a song that fitted my requirements perfectly. Already very familiar with it, I was again struck by just how powerful it is in its original form.
For those of you unfamiliar with the Jacques Brel, be warned — he isn’t very pretty. But as a poet and performer, he truly was magnificent.

I have heard many versions of this song Gary, but my favourite is by Dusty Springfield.
My personal favourite of all the cover versions would probably have to be Marc Almond’s original version on his album Jacques. Dusty’s is right up there with it, of course!
