Alright. I admit it. I cry every time I hear that song.
It's just one of those tunes that speaks right to my soul.
I've heard many many covers and still manage to tear up each time.

Do you have a favorite cover of this song to share?
Here's just ONE of mine.

That song gives me chills, pretty much whoever sings it.

The late Jeff Buckley's version was the first cover I heard, and I'd say it's still my favorite but it hurts my heart because he's gone now.

The version by kd lang that you linked is wonderful, of course.

Jon Bon Jovi does it justice in a live performance I'll link below, and I read it is on his latest album:

Hmmm, and here I thought I'd get a bunch of replies...

Here's another one by an "unknown" UT duo. Excellent nonetheless and I am so glad when I see youngins playing "our" music!
