Love, love is a verb
Love is a doing word
Feathers on my breath
Gentle impulsion shakes me makes me lighter
Feathers on my breath
Teardrop on the fire
Feathers on my breath
Nine nights of matter
Black flowers blossom
Feathers on my breath
Teardrop on the fire of a confession
Feathers on my breath
Black flowers blossom
Feathers on my breath
Water is my eye
Most faithful mirror

Love Jose....but this cover is not good.
Hmm 🤔 it’s ‘fearless’ on my breath, methought?!
Mmmmmm, transition from Gustavo Santaolalla to José Gonzalez is some peak guitar.

i can't believe it. i like this better than the original. it somehow sounds more authentic or something with his vocal techniques. i'm probably not wording that correctly...sorry.
Another "Why I listen to..." song!
This is fine but I really want to hear the original now
Yummy version. The guitar goes to the stars!
Each time I hear this I give it one more plus...

Jose Gonzales is awesome, but I think plinking away at guitars just doesn't replicate the thick sound of the Massive Attack version They accomplish the same thing with a quieter, more foreboding sound.
My favourite latino Swedish recording artist ever...
Liz’s version is better and this is damn good
What the hell was I on when I rated this a 4? It's a 9 now!

Great article about the inspiration for the melody, lyrics (Jeff Buckley), other artists that covered the tune (over 20 times!) and most importantly how "musical efficiency" has almost eliminated the song intro. A lot to unpack from a song, but that has given it even deeper meaning for me.
It's gonna take some time for me to appreciate this rendition, if ever.

I am a huge fan of both versions of the song. Massive Attack & Liz Fraser give the tune a very cool feel to it, combining her delicate vocals with all of the various performers adding the baseline instruments & making it delightfully complex. Jose is basically doing the whole thing himself, with some nice effects (one live performance I saw had no looping at all, whereas the one playing on RP obviously stacks up the elements). He's also not trying to recreate the sound of the original, choosing to have it build up, layer by layer, until it crashes in a final crescendo. His voice is a little bit of an acquired taste, but I think it allows the listener to focus on the lyrics & the guitar.
Great segue from SOUNDS OF SILENCE! 
What a great cover. Brave too.

That's kind of neat. I like it when a cover challenges me to try and "unlisten" to the original. What would I say if it were the other way round and Massive Attack had covered Jose?
I like them both. Must have said it elsewhere, but to me a good cover is like a door opened to parallel universes.
Thanks RP!

That's what i thought too, but i have changed my mind once i heard Jose performing live this song, try to hear him live. Amazing.
Hmmm. For me, part of what I find beautiful about the original is the quiet, wispy, almost conspiratorial delivery — as if Elizabeth is telling us a secret that is difficult to express, even more difficult to understand and perhaps, best not repeated. It draws me in and makes me feel as if I could be a part of her inner circle. All together, it makes for a fun listen.
Unfortunately, Jose, whom I generally appreciate, almost rips me a new one with his delivery. It strikes me as loud, brash, unkempt and irresponsible — like someone repeating something that should be a secret... but too loudly, in the wrong company and with the wrong attitude.
Or, I'm too damn sensitive today. Could be that.

Merry Christmas José
He is an amazing songwriter - SO wish he would get his production figured out.
I really enjoy this version too...really nicely done. Completely different
Good cover, but that’s what you’d expect from Jose!

It appears that many of the listeners are in need of a soul cleansing. Please find your peace, share your love, shed your negativity on this fine site of music and celebration. I seek to become more like Thumper, that great old statesmen rabbit that once proclaimed: "If you can't say something nice, don't say 'nuthin at all".

I respect the attempt, but it doesn't work for me.
This crap can't hold a candle to Massive Attack. Too bad they ruined it by using it as a themesong to that fucking doctor show.

For a completely different, strange and absolutely beautiful cover of this, check out the modern choral arrangement by Voces 8...
What ever opinions anyone has about this cover, I believe anyone can admire the thing, that 100000 times accoustic songs have been covered electronically, but only very very very rarely crosses a song from the electronic realm into the accoustic realm as a cover. High rating for this singular move.
Here's a place where AutoTune would be useful - Massive Attack's version is so far superior, this would rate in negativeland, by comparison.
Rubbish cover of an excellent song. Stop playing this second rate trash and play the original instead.

Does nothing for me. Massive Attack is far superior with its haunting, thready vocals and sparse arrangment. Please stick to that one. BTW the 2016 Massive Attack release with Hope Sandoval is superb. Just my opinion.

I love how his strings are always just the sliiiiightest bit out of tune. Makes for a camp-y porch sound. Much more noticeable coming out of Morphine's In Spite Of Me, for whatever reason
Wow. Quite a cover. The intensity and reverb of a celestial choir!

nice homage to a beautiful song, but not as good as the original. Why do I think of men in kilts on a wild scottish moor when listening to this version?
Okay - I'm voting for a "Torture RP Listeners" set. ALL the versions of this song, one after another. With apologies before and after the set. And then, another "Torture RP Listeners" set with "Alleluia." Possibly a contest - listeners vote for their favorite version and the winners of the most popular version get a mug, or a T-shirt, or a really cool thing to post at their websites. Or money. Money would be good, too.
Suitable warnings should apply, of course, and during the time some RP listeners will flee the scene and possibly get homework done or a room rearranged, beverages and food should be offered.
