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
