rfmcdonaldAnnie Lennox's cover of the Cole Porter song "Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye", taken from the 1990 AIDS fundraising album Red Hot and Blue, is perhaps her most beautiful song.
The sound of her full voice against the sparse piano and Paris cafe accordion sends chills down my spine.
The music video is also interesting, filmed by Ed Lachman. Iconic British director Derek Jarman was originally slated to direct, but his HIV/AIDS-related illness forced him to withdraw, but not before contributing the home movies shown in the music video, old movies of him and his family, taken by his father. Lennox later performed the song in a cameo in Jarman's 1991 movie Edward II.
