Words AND Music
The older I get the more I appreciate both the words and music created by Jacques Brel. This is a surprisingly effective rendition of "Sons Of" by Gay Marshall.

Ah, where would we be without music? I hadn't heard this one before, though you may be aware Rod McKuen translated Brel's "Ne Me Quitte Pas" into "If You Go Away", which was a big hit in Britain back in the 70's for a guy called Terry Jacks, who I believe was Canadian. Great songs, and another great talent destined to die prematurely.
