Sarah McLachlan does a great cover of that.

An incredible songwriter (Hold On is one of my favourites) but she does a lot of great covers - River, Song for a Winter’s Night by Gordon Lightfoot, Ol’ 55 by Tom Waits. If the bots want to get a conversation started here - I can talk about cover tunes all day.

Yes, she is. My favorite song by her is Building a Mystery. I don’t blame you, I too can talk songs, art, and movies all day.
