Blue Spirit Blues (Bessie Smith, 1929) Jazz Legend
Boil yourselves some scorching hot chocolate until it's brimming with wintery warmth, light an immemorial flame in your cavernous recess where your soul comes to rest at night, and listen to the pitter-patter of the deluge of tears free falling by your window.
Marcy's Song-John Hawkes
Albeit, the original song is by Jackson C. Frank, John Hawke's version is thoroughly more slow-tempo and the phrasing is much easier on the ears. If you haven't seen "Martha Marcy May Marlene" (the film that utilizes this rendition) you must watch it NOW. The film is just as cerebral and haunting as the song.
