For completists wanting shivers down the spine, I would still definitely
recommend the common ground track. A bit expensive though, given it was
never released as a single, but WHAT a gorgeous melody and SO
brilliantly
arranged.

amen to that. i read a post recently that criticized the brevity of the
track. but for anyone who wishes for a _longer_ arrangement, check out
the sinead o'connor version of this song of the compilation _ain't
nothin' but a she thang_. talk about a DIRGE. sinead just sucks the life
out of the song. plodding tempo...wan singing. surprising that i hate it
so much given that i actually like the willie nelson/sinead o'connor
version of _don't give up_ better than the kate/peter one. i don't think
it's that sinead is necessarily an inferior singer--but as a
producer/arranger, it's all about kate.
