'I Know A Song'

'The Defamation of Strickland Banks' is still in my CD player (this is a record, excuse the pun, or is it a spoonerism?) and for weeks I have been wondering which song it is he knows:

Assuming it isn't one of Bank's own compositions (and, if it is, it has to be 'Love Goes Down') I've been toying with the following possibilities:

'The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face'

It is little wonder that The X Factor's Matt Cardle's version of 'The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face'  has had so many hits on YouTube - I defy any woman to listen to this and not wish he was singing it for her. Not because he is cute - but because it is a powerful song. I almost cry when Leona Lewis (Ex X Factor) belts it out.

Who would have thought the song was written by a political folk singer?  It has been covered by scores of people including Bob Monkhouse. Fortunately I have been unable to find this version so you have been spared the experience of hearing Bob murder this love song

But I did stumble on a version by Johnny Cash and, like Matts version, it hits the spot. That place at the bottom of your spine, which when hit, stops your heart beating for a nano second and transports you to a place and time when you loved.
I also love that it says 'kissed your mouth'. Sounds much more passionate and raw than 'kissed your lips'. And it is a song that oozes passion.
The first time ever I kissed your mouth
And felt your heart beat close to mine
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there at my command, my love
That was there at my command.

Beautiful.

Or then again the song he knows might be:

'Hurt'

Too depressing? Maybe. But The Man In Black has class.

Yet it may be a beautiful love song written by Bob Dylan and sung here by another X Factor finalist- Rebecca Ferguson.
'Make You Feel My Love'

Her nerves get the better of her in this performance but all is forgiven. She has talent if not the 'X Factor'.
