=====================
About 2 Meter Sessions
====================
Based in the Netherlands, 2 Meter Sessions is an independent, ongoing (new) music platform with a great legacy. Monthly we film 3 to 4 sessions with promising and breakthrough acts from all over the world.
Many well-known acts have visited the show; from James Taylor, Elliott Smith and David Crosby to Damien Jurado, Ben Howard and Josh Ritter, via Radiohead, Nirvana, Coldplay and Foo Fighters. Archive footage can regularly be seen in (theatrical) documentary movies, like “Mystify: Michael Hutchence” (with footage of our session with INXS, filmed in 1997), “Heaven Adores You” (with footage of our session with Elliott Smith, filmed in 1998) and “All I Can Say” (with footage of our session with Blind Melon, filmed in 1993).
The show started back in 1987 by radio presenter Jan Douwe Kroeske. On his popular national radio show he persuaded New-Zealand band Crowded House to play a couple of songs. The response of the public was so great, that 2 Meter Sessions quickly became a household name. In 1993, the show made a successful transition to national television. From there the show became a national phenomenon, for over 10 years, with filmed sessions of new talent, breakthrough acts and arrived career artists. Almost a million of 2 Meter Sessions cd’s were sold in the Netherlands.

My goodness.. absolutely beautiful

[@arturobolanos9080]

I really dig it. The musicians are great.

[@kitty2pat]

I love the sound of Angie etc., and I keep playing it but Angie substituted some of the words. Red wrote this song about his parents. His Mom left the family when he was 3 and it's a song about how hurtful it was to come up without his mother not knowing if she was dead or alive or why she left. His father was broken and never remarried. He says: " strangled by the wishes of Pater: yearning for the arms of Mater... " The story is quite sad and touching.

[@davidspatola6286]

He talks about pater (father) and mater (mother). You're right, the song loses meaning when she changed lyrics

[@awickedtribe]

No one can touch the original but even with the lyric change this song is overall, the better cover out there.

[@vanessajazp6341]

He says it was about that moment when it's time to leave home, and he's reflecting on all the memories growing up, including what you mentioned about his parents. "Holding on" is that last, long moment before letting go and moving on. The beauty of it is that it can be interpreted in so many meaningful ways.

[@SCfanIam100]

@@davidspatola6286 She basically murdered this wonderful song. Mick should be able to sue for murder of his song.

[@lapdscuffy]

This is the sound of good rich soul food!!!

[@awickedtribe]

Normally changing the lyrics to a great song is a dis-service but sometimes, just sometimes, it works. I might be biased because I am a big fan of Angie Stone, but I like this version, it's by far the better one I have yet to hear. A well written song is one without definite content, it's interpretable in different ways, but only if the feel of the original is part of that content. Angie and her band did that here, in my opinion. Still, the original is light years ahead.

[@marilynlawson8216]

I agree.

[@realmofthesenses]

Randy Crawford´s version of this song has the same change in lyrics.

[@emmetthouse5600]

Angie we all learn from our mistakes come on back baby the bank is open to you come on back baby I'm blessed and people with that gift you got
