I played this song today and went to search for more renditions of it. It's a beautiful song that seems to bring up a fascinating mix of feelings ... that I can't quite seem to untangle, but it's a pleasure to listen to in any case.
Here are a few videos for anyone else who enjoys it as well.

Good day or good night to you, as the case may be.
