It's a trap

LOL

sixteen years pass...

Attended an elementary school talent show this weekend (my kid plays piano and did "Here Comes the Sun"). More than half of the acts were somehow related to Taylor Swift or Barbie, but one remarkably brave and mature 3rd grader performed a surprisingly good version of "Waters of March," her "Nana's favorite." I sat there gobsmacked, having only heard this song in Portuguese, I was unfamiliar with its lyrics. My family and I spent the rest of the weekend listening to it on repeat. What a tune. Here's the version she performed:

Honestly still can't believe this ten-year-old had this 100% memorized and sang it as well as she did. Crazy impressive.

Don't miss the Art Garfunkel version (used in the recent movie The Worst Person in the World).

yeah that movie is how I discovered the English version of that song. It's great

This is my go to "trying a guitar for the first time" song. I love it so much. Very impressive for a 3rd grader, it's a tough tune for a beginner!

It's a boring opinion but it's true: joao gilbertos version is the best

H.P, Wednesday, 14 February 2024 10:24 (two years ago)

And the riverbank talks of the waters of March
It's the end of all strain
It's the joy in your heart

I think my first exposure to the English lyrics was Cibo Matto's version.

jaymc, Wednesday, 14 February 2024 16:45 (two years ago)

There was also a French version used in a recent film with Virginie Ledoyen. Let me see.

The studio version over the closing credits of Other People’s Children.

Georges Moustaki.

Who gets a nod in this amusing Momus thread opener: Pop never happened. Is the world worse for it?

The Ginger Bakersfield Sound (James Redd and the Blecchs), Wednesday, 14 February 2024 20:22 (two years ago)

Amusing or at the very least pvmic.
