First time I've heard that version, thanks. I've been listening to the Cowboy Junkies cover for some time now, which you may like.

lynn101.bsky.social•13 days ago

Thank you. That is one of my favorite songs & kd does a really exceptional version.

I have such fun memories of “Big Boned Gal”. I’ll have that stuck in my head for the next week.

jamesshields.bsky.social•13 days ago

This is great! I really like Molly Tuttle's cover as well.

kd lang’s Helpless is what the song was always meant to be.

tomvasquez.bsky.social•13 days ago

"The Air that I Breathe" is a song she made transcendent. I never liked the song until I heard her version. https://youtu.be/nBGqOXuM-ME?si=_T0_k5KHx2aJz45v

If you're not familiar with it, this is another great one

She has a beautiful, powerful, emotive voice. A Canadian treasure!

mandertang.bsky.social•12 days ago

I have loved her voice since she came onto the scene. Helpless is a fave of mine as well!

jmcport.bsky.social•13 days ago

The whole DRAG album.

ziggytzardust.bsky.social•13 days ago

The pure tone of her voice always sends shivers down my spine.

clarak.bsky.social•13 days ago

That whole album slaps and I love it with my soul.

the-white-rose.bsky.social•13 days ago

Great album.

We used to have a band called Spirit of the West up here. They booked a tour of the UK but got bumped because KD Lang suddenly became available.

Rather than let it destroy them the band allowed themselves some UK experiences which would inspire their best song.

Spirit of the West was such a great band - such fun shows.

In case you are not familiar with it yet, I suggest listening to Calling All Angels - Lang & Siberry:

Omg! This song has haunted me for 2 decades.
Endlessly beautiful.

jd14-bskysocial.bsky.social•13 days ago

It’s a really great song.

timcushing.bsky.social•13 days ago

love that movie

And Crying, either solo or with Roy Orbison.

My favorite K.D. Lang song will always be 'calling all angels' because it reminds me of the movie where I first heard it: 'Until the end of the world' (1991)

zenobiavayne.bsky.social•12 days ago

I regularly listen to her performance of it at the Juno awards, it lives in my soul for some reason

maximummary.bsky.social•13 days ago

“Bird on a Wire” is my fave Leonard Cohen from that album. And the live versions from the Max Sessions are better than the studio ones. https://youtu.be/ZvhD1cORBrU?si=YJWUhJAjNu0Wthkb
