4. Nazareth is only version that makes this mundane song ... almost not boring.

Everly's and Roy deliver nice vocals too (neither of them can do wrong in this regard), but the only way to make this song interesting ... is to pour your heart into it like you're an actually hurt person delivering the performance.

Nazareth version comes closest to doing so.

Also, Nazareth's drummer is freaking awesome in this video.

A person could not be a more perfect embodiment of a year ... in this case ... 1975 ... than Nazareth's drummer in this video.

It can't be done.

I almost voted for his version... but the Roy Orbison version will get my vote. NurseJackie Mar 2021 #2
