The other afternoon while I was letting my iPod do it’s thing, this song came on and floored me all over again. It’s from Lauryn Hill’s 2002 MTV Unplugged album, and it is, quite simply, such an incredible version of this song that I had to put it up here. (As an aside, if you don’t have that album, you should make certain to get it. Ms. Hill is at her most honest and broken-down that it’s literally painful to listen to her at times during the album.)
It’s been a long time since I considered myself religious, but I’ve never stopped considering myself a spiritual person. That doesn’t really mean much, when I think about it more; I suppose everyone is to some extent. But I connect with this song in such a powerful way that it serves to remind me of my own spirituality. And on a random Wednesday afternoon in the middle of March, while it’s unexpected, it’s certainly not unwelcome.
