About 10 years ago, my fiancé Guy went to stay with his Granny in London. A few days previous her next door neighbour had tragically taken her own life. Through the bedroom walls Guy heard her grieving grandson playing this song on repeat throughout the entire night. This story broke my heart and it still does even now. I hope he found comfort in this song that night. Wherever he is, this one is for him.

    @DaiArrow3 months ago I have watched a lot of women on YT sing this song and for some reason your version feels like the most genuine. Your voice is so rich and full and captivating. Thank you for the time, effort and hard work you put into this. Well done. ... 1

    @andrespasca66033 years ago Step one, you say, "We need to talk"
    He walks, you say, "Sit down. It's just a talk"
    He smiles politely back at you
    You stare politely right on through
    Some sort of window to your right
    As he goes left and you stay right
    Between the lines of fear and blame
    You begin to wonder why you came
    Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend
    Somewhere along in the bitterness
    And I would have stayed up with you all night
    Had I known how to save a life
    Let him know that you know best
    'Cause after all you do know best
    Try to slip past his defense
    Without granting innocence
    Lay down a list of what is wrong
    The things you've told him all along
    Pray to God, he hears you
    And I pray to God, he hears you
    And where did I go wrong? I lost a friend
    Somewhere along in the bitterness
    And I would have stayed up with you all night
    Had I known how to save a life
    As he begins to raise his voice
    You lower yours and grant him one last choice
    Drive until you lose the road
    Or break with the ones you've followed
    He will do one of two things
    He will admit to everything
    Or he'll say he's just not the same
    And you'll begin to wonder why you came
    Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend
    Somewhere along in the bitterness
    And I would have stayed up with you all night
    Had I known how to save a life
    Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend
    Somewhere along in the bitterness
    And I would have stayed up with you all night
    Had I known how to save a life
    How to save a life
    How to save a life

    @Sendrien3 years ago Jennifer, don't change for people who cannot appreciate your immense talent. There are some songs that "skinny blonde girls" just cannot pull off. This is one such song: YOUR rendition is beyond beautiful. YOU sing this song so emotively, each note with the rich palette of colours that these lyrics deserve. YOUR voice and YOUR interpretation are what make this cover stand above all others, including the original.
    Also, your choice to go with the silent "F" on the word "life" is genius.
    Have you ever tried singing Both Sides Now by Joni Mitchell?
