I haven’t posted a “song that makes me cry” in a while.

This one’s a top-notch weeper. I first heard this song the same way many people my age heard it — by This Mortal Coil with the ungodly good Elizabeth Fraser.

The first time I listened to the Tim Buckley original, I was expecting it to be really good — I mean, what a song, right? — but it was hard for me to imagine that it could be more beautiful.

It is. Wow.
