Several artists have covered this song, and what I like about it is that the song seems to change slightly from one artist to the next - haunting to sad to hopeful - just based on the emotion expressed when singing it.

Rufus Wainwright (version included on the Shrek soundtrack): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmbQE...eature=related

KD Lang (an unbelievably moving performance IMO): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JlXV1...eature=related

John Cale: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckbdL...eature=related

Bon Jovi: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Rlc4...eature=related

Sheryl Crow (fast version): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWDfH...eature=related

Allison Crowe: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIMOd...eature=related
