Music Sung with Passion


I heard Diana Krall sing Bob Dylan's 'A Simple Twist of Fate' last week on the radio. As NPR would call it, I had a driveway moment. I downloaded it to play for my wife. She absolutely loved it, but when I asked her if Diana sang it with the passion Bob did her answer was no.

She thinks that A Simple Twist of Fate was actually written by Joan Baez which I wouldn't be surprised if she's correct. No Google for this post.

My question is, do you think all artists sing with passion? It's hard for me to hear the passion in Dylan's voice on A Simple Twist of Fate yet I actually hear it in Diana Kralls voice for some reason. Can an artist write a song and then perform it without passion?

Funny, I agree with a lot of what everyone's saying. I find Klaus Meine and also Neil Young to sing most of the music that they perform very passionately. When Neil sings Unknown Legend, I feel his passion. (I absolutely love that song). Practically every song that Klaus sings with the Scorpions is sung passionately. A tune that comes to mind is Arizona.

I'm not a huge Krall fan. However there's something about her rendition of A Simple Twist of Fate that really did it for me.

I just received the MOFI 45rpm "Freewheelin'". "Simple Twist of Fate" to me, was the stand out track. My point being, get this copy and you'll find that Dylan himself sung it with the most passion!
Trick question? Do you regularly listen to music without passion? You've brought up the key component that identifies what constitutes that 'noise' we listen to that sends our dogs and cats scrambling for cover.
Vsollozzo-We all have an idea what Whitney Houston tapped into! I Will Always Love You performed by WH has to be one of the most obnoxious popular songs ever recorded!
