This Thursday, a [MUSIC] day, also happens to be World AIDS Day. My song choice was inevitable.
I blogged Annie Lennox's cover of the Cole Porter song "Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye" back in January 2009. This cover, taken from the 1990 AIDS fundraising album Red Hot + 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. She evokes love and loss--of the epidemic, of the human condition in general--so superbly here she could make me cry.
