Well, it’s a sad song. And a valiant effort by Monsieur Brel, but if he’s hoping to win back the affections of his ex, he might want to tone down the ‘Sweaty, face-full-of-oversized-teeth’ look. For a moment I thought Desert Orchid was serenading me.
This is a great song. I first heard the redone version on Craig Armstrong's album The Space Between Us (which is by the way an amazing album) and absolutely loved it. https://youtu.be/1h9TCJVe6MU
Hurt - the Johnny Cash version (as opposed to the original Nine Inch Nails version)
Especially if you’re watching the video, I was at the Johnny Cash museum in Nashville in July and the last exhibit is dedicated to that song/video and it’s very moving.

My way
“Sad” is probably not accurate. More a celebration of someone’s life taken at a young age.
Both versions are great.
