To me 4 minutes is a bit short...


I think it's long enough to be interesting, not long enough to be hypnotic and/or irritating. Also long enough to annoy a 'music lover' I used to work with. Wink

The full-length version is one of my desert island discs. So moving, and TW adds so much. I might have to go and play it right now....

Full-length? You mean the expanded version...
Tom Waits does add a lot. That could be a problem to some people...
Bryars' new orchestration is rather soupy as well in comparison to the original version. I seem to remember him talking about the accompaniment refusing to sentimentalise the melody, something which, IMO, the Waits version does.
But that's just me.

I'm a fan of TW (or, at least, a fan of his Asylum work - not too sure about the direction he's taken in more recent years, though I've not heard all of his up to date stuff) and I remember when Jesus' Blood was released in the early 90s....I quite liked it, but felt it was in the nature of a novelty record.  Surprising it didn't become a mainstream chart hit, along the lines of Laurie Anderson's Oh! Superman.
