For some reason, she seems to miss on this song (beautiful song, but misses.) It's like she lost her sense of soul or timing, and sounds like Annie Lennox signing with Neil Young's brain inside.

I love Neil. Wouldn't it be something if he could sing like Annie?

The album Medusa was a collection of Annie Lennox's favorite songs written by others.
I think she has done more than enough of her own original work to earn the right for some self indulgence.
I find it an enduring album that I've never tired of because of the variety of sources she chose.

Wow, as soon as this song came on I was immediately transported to the scene of American Beauty where I first heard it. I guess I never realized how impactful it was in the movie until now!

I've never heard another cover of this song. I love Annie Lenox and Neil Young - well, let's not even go there (the man is an icon). The pair just don't seem to fit, but yet the song is a fair attempt at evoking the same feeling. To follow it up w/ Neil's "A Man Needs a Maid" seems to reconcile the oddness of it all. Weird! Then came Shawn Colvin's "This must be the Place." OK, it seems to work... |

i've always liked this song and the whole album. NY's original is of course without comparison, but when you've heard it repeatedly since it came out, it's nice to hear a cover that breaths some new life into the piece and allows you to enjoy it again.

i like this version. i like the original much more but this is more than worthy.
Women Artist covering Neil give his music a whole different texture. ( ex.Nicolette Larson ) |

Listenable, but barely. Can we hear the Neil Young version now?

I agree - sounds like she's trying to channel Neil - but somehow it gets distracting. Not a bad job though. |

Do you mean "The Unbearable Lightness of Being"? I haven't seen many similarities between that and "American Beauty". That's just me though.
Uhhh, yea, my bad. "Unbearable" it is. As to not seeing the similarities between the two movies, you guys are kidding, right? In a nutshell: protagonist struggles to find meaning in life, finds it, gets offed. ("Gee, Mr. Obvious, I never thought of it that way before!") |
