This is so beautiful it brings everything back. That old French refrain I used to know. It aches. It aches. I have been dead and now I'm not. This song captures that feeling wholly.
Was I awake till now?
I just never get tired of this song. I have listened to it at least once or twice a day. Jeff is such an amazing voice and I dearly miss him.
He was not a part of my life, but he was!
He got me through my divorce, and I will be forever grateful for his comfort, even though he did not know that he provided it.
When you listen to Jeff you can just imagine something...... a natural castrato, I mean if we would've the chance to listen to Farinelli or one of them may be Jeff voice is the nearest aproximation of what a castrato voice was.....
The song speaks to a time when love was innocent and beautiful in its childlike simplicity and sincerity. The song is a heartache of a longing for that love.
