The movie "Into the Forest" brought me here. I saw Cat Power around 2007 in Chapel Hill, NC at a place next to Cat's Cradle. I was on a blind date. She hated the "concert." You have to understand, Cat was considered a "freak of nature" then, and maybe now? Even among my most wild ass friends they didn't like her music. She was waaaay too out there. Even I don't know where too out there is. I didn't know anything about her. I watched a few videos before the concert and was intrigued to say the least. The show, it was a magical experience. And I have been to 1000 concerts. None do I remember like that. It was just her, and a violinist, as far as I remember. Maybe the best musical experience I have ever had.

"Wild Is the Wind" is a song written by Dimitri Tiomkin and Ned Washington for the 1957 film Wild Is the Wind. Johnny Mathis recorded the song for the film and released it as a single in November 1957. Mathis' version reached No. 22 on the Billboard chart. It was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Song in 1958." It didn't win. But it was nominated!

i love the line ‘like a leaf clings to a tree, baby please cling to me’ .. true desperation for love.

No matter how many times I hear her sing. I just cant seem to get enough. hypnotic and very beautiful!

If only I could have played this for my soul mate before he died....instead I listen and remember...one day we will both be in the wind again xxx

This has to be my favorite version of this song, it fits her voice too perfectly

i LOVE this. it makes me shiver.. her voice is so accurate and peculiar. i love cat power, seriously

She is everything. Literally. 🖤

The piano solo near the end is always heart wrenching for me.

I'm here because of The First Monday in May, great song.

When Cat Power sings "Wild Is The Wind", I am in love with the idea of being in love once again. David Bowie sings it as well and his brilliant version also brings good shivers down my body.

Cat Power Cover Version's are really always worth it. This woman is just fabulous!

For me this is the BEST version of this song

most beautiful version ever made

the disappearance of eleanor rigby was not only an awesome movie but it introduced me to this song :)

It's amazing how it touches your soul ...

I was determined to find the voice singing 'Wild is the Wind' which closed 'The First Monday of May' at the NY Met. China: Through the Looking Glass. If the designers of those magnificent gowns did not create Art then what is Art? Cat Power singing 'Wild is the Wind' was a perfect choice to close the Show. Thanks to the ABC for broadcasting 'The First Monday of May'!

This song speaks to my nomadic spirit and no place has really felt like home just a place to stay for awhile

Into the forest touches my heart, and the song Omg all I can say is thank you Cat power I fell in love with the song "wild is the wind".

You touch me, I hear the sound of mandolins You kiss me With your kiss my life begins You're spring to me, all things to me Don't you know you're life, itself..

Creatures of the wind....say no more

As soon as she began to sing I began to cry. This is... just so beautiful.

Just saw Cat Power perform last weekend in Mansfield Massachusetts… and she was awesome. 👏🏻👏🏻❤️

THIS SONG IS MAGICAL!WHEN I LISTEN TO THIS I CAN CRY BUT I CAN'T STOP!I LOVE IT

Into the forest....

How could anyone, not love this song,.... Way better... you are awesome... Best love song,... Ever

simply lovely, not exactly light and breezy, but definitely goes to a deep place that probably we all have, if we look inside of our longing to really connect to another.

First time I heard this song was by Nina Simone, my this version is heart filling as well! Music... Gods greatest gift to man other than love!!!

Into the Forest brought me here!!

The First Monday in May brought me here. Love Cat's version...dreamy and hauntingly beautiful.

same. amazing song. makes me remember my mum and brother that I lost. Rip

amazing rendition, so heartbroken and vulnerable

Haunting, chilling, best fuckin song... Ever.... Makes me cry, every time..

We were made in chaos.....wind........beautiful, wild, free. Out of Pistis Sophia comes Love and Communication. Absolutely love Cat Power. #CherokeeSpirit #FREE

here for The Disappearance Of Eleanor Rigby: Her ,beautiful song

into the forest. thank you, great song.

As a current resident of Memphis, I've met Chan. She's so utterly talented and lives in another world, really. But there is no denying her transcendent talent. This version of this great song is neck and neck with Nina Simone's for me. I could die listening to either reading.

I so A-DORE this version.... Haunting and Beautiful :-) X

This sog is so short....yet when you listen to it goes on forever.

The montage from First Monday of May of the "China Through the Looking Glass" MET exhibition and this song together still gives me chills.. beautifully produced and the shots only enhance the haunting beauty of this song, wonderful. Reminds me why I first got interested in production.

Heartwrenchingly Beautiful..

I recall first listening to a different version of this. It was cat power but it was slightly faster and was played on an acoustic guitar. It sounded more improvised/live(ly). I liked it more than this but don't think I'll ever hear it again.

So amazing. Changed my world 6 years ago

My favorite version

Loved this moment in The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby. So beautiful and sad.

The closest thing in soul terms to the Nina Simon Version even better than the David Bowie and George Michael versions. I first came across this song in the early 60s when I bought the Nina Simone live album. One of the all-time greats.

Ich liebe diesen melodischen Klang ihrer Stimme. Sie singt so wundervoll und der Text ist auch verdammt schön .. Ich könnte ihr stundenlang lauschen.

I sing this song sometimes in my shows. Love it and also have the DVD movie. Movie has Johnny Matthias singing.

Into the Forest. Thank you.

My favorite version - I love Nina, but I love yours more.....🥰

Une Très Beau Morceau tiré de l' Album "Myra Lee" que j'ai écouté 100 fois peut être et chanté par la Très Belle Chan Marshall (auteur& compositeur de "Myra Lee" !!! Superbe vidéo de cette chanteuse - pianiste maintenant très connue....Un vrai Bonheur!!!! Jacques de Nîmes-France

Don't forget Nina Simone's version! :)

Into the forest leads me here

Essa música de letra simples sempre mexeu comigo de uma forma visceral, ela me atravessa como se tivesse por objetivo apresentar o amor e a redenção por não tê-lo. LINDA!!!

Not Nina, not David. This is THE version.

possibly the best video i've seen and heard on here. or just ever.

Thank you, First Monday in May, for introducing this song into my world! I didn't know it was David Bowie's most under-rated song!!!

A song written by Dimitri Tomkin and Ned Washington. I enjoy this cover version very much.

What a lovely song!

La mejor versión de esta fabulosa canción de Nina.. para mí, la mejor

Como eu amo essa música! Essa versão é incrível. A voz da Cat é sensacional! Consegue transmitir todo o sentimento.

This goes sooo good with whiskey

Wonderful cover!

Me encanta esta canción!!! Realmente hermosa 😌

I love this song.

".....my heart weeps with joy"

excuse me for my language but i fucking love this.

Wait, wot?! YA WOT m8?!?! This is pure bliss!

Gets me every time.

This was first sung by Jonnhy Mathis, not Nina Simone. Personally, I'm hooked on this version... Cat's, that is.

So beautiful Oo I love Cat Power !!!

Here because I've been a Cat Power fan since forever. PS--this is a great cover of Nina Simone's Wild is the Wind.

so hypnotic............love love love

The first Monday in May brought me here.

She really gives herself to this song.

Real feelings expressed ❤

Любовь навсегда 😊😊

This jus being a great song brought me here!

My new favorite song

I feel like I am cheating on David Bowie and Johnny Mathis.

That voice!!! I mean, WTF!!!!??!?

No words.

hermoso tema para cuetearse

into the forest!

Satisfy this hungriness

Incredible

Crushing indescribably magnificent

@DesMotsInsenses my feelings exactly! but when we do fall in love, this song will just become that much more powerful. have a lovely day!

such a beautiful voice

Makes me think of my husband who passed away.

Reminds me of my first girlfriend. We fight constantly and she says how much she hates me. I just want to her to understand my depression and how it affects my decisions in life.

I thought Nina Simone's rendition was perfect. Cat makes me long wistfully for someone I've never met.

Hatter brought me here... Peace

Hermosa!!!

Gosh! This song is so inspiring and incredibly moving! I've looked everywhere for piano music for this song. Can't find any. Guess i'll just have to try and make some myself, because this song is to beautiful not to play.

Blow your minds listen to Billy Mackenzie's version

beautiful song

Sublime!!

beautiful! what else to say. I can´t find any words.

love it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
