Cat Power Wild is the wind

with your kiss my life begins

[@ocracoke2013]

The movie "Into the Forest" brought me here. I saw Cat Power around 2007 in Chapel Hill, NC at a place next to Cat's Cradle. I was on a blind date. She hated the "concert." You have to understand, Cat was considered a "freak of nature" then, and maybe now? Even among my most wild ass friends they didn't like her music. She was waaaay too out there. Even I don't know where too out there is. I didn't know anything about her. I watched a few videos before the concert and was intrigued to say the least. The show, it was a magical experience. And I have been to 1000 concerts. None do I remember like that. It was just her, and a violinist, as far as I remember. Maybe the best musical experience I have ever had.

[@leopoldooliver4771]

"Wild Is the Wind" is a song written by Dimitri Tiomkin and Ned Washington for the 1957 film Wild Is the Wind. Johnny Mathis recorded the song for the film and released it as a single in November 1957. Mathis' version reached No. 22 on the Billboard chart. It was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Song in 1958." It didn't win. But it was nominated!

[@lisamachat6566]

If only I could have played this for my soul mate before he died....instead I listen and remember...one day we will both be in the wind again xxx

[@erikh.5679]

Love you....

[@stephaniegill4516]

Can totally relate. I lost my husband and this song makes me think of him

[@leanananielsen2098]

😥❤🙏

[@kassandrakid9440]

Jesus! That definitely hit me. Mine is terminally ill. Probably doesn’t have much time left. It’s been 26 years and I have no idea how I will be able to go on without him. He is my soulmate, best friend, partner. Literally played this so that I could send it to him. We grew up with her music.

[@megslegs19]

No matter how many times I hear her sing. I just cant seem to get enough. hypnotic and very beautiful!

[@alicec-m3403]

i love the line ‘like a leaf clings to a tree, baby please cling to me’ .. true desperation for love.

[@SkitKorek]

When Cat Power sings "Wild Is The Wind", I am in love with the idea of being in love once again. David Bowie sings it as well and his brilliant version also brings good shivers down my body.

[@muhammeddalain2878]

Also, Nina Simone.

[@maxwellsmart6487]

Scott...hi! Check out nina Simone, she did it first, she AND bowie sang in her apartment in nyc... Many many times.... ...,.deb.

[@ReasonableForseeability]

I'll second those Nina Simone recommendations.

[@dlp2006]

Mathis, Bowie, Simone, power, all great

[@dlp2006]

@@maxwellsmart6487 Mathis did it earlier

[@secksygrandpa]

This has to be my favorite version of this song, it fits her voice too perfectly

[@laineleavitt28]

it's gorgeous, yes, but Bowies version is still my favorite ❤

[@wolwol3]

i LOVE this. it makes me shiver.. her voice is so accurate and peculiar. i love cat power, seriously

[@BigMamaVee]

She is everything. Literally. 🖤

[@ReasonableForseeability]

Figuratively, not literally, silly!

[@oderallesistanders]

Cat Power Cover Version's are really always worth it. This woman is just fabulous!

the disappearance of eleanor rigby was not only an awesome movie but it introduced me to this song :)

The piano solo near the end is always heart wrenching for me.

Into the forest touches my heart, and the song Omg all I can say is thank you Cat power I fell in love with the song "wild is the wind".

charles true words

[@molliesmith742]

Just saw Cat Power perform last weekend in Mansfield Massachusetts… and she was awesome. 👏🏻👏🏻❤️

[@ohyeamoe8430]

First time I heard this song was by Nina Simone, my this version is heart filling as well! Music... Gods greatest gift to man other than love!!!

[@Nick-hl6fg]

This song speaks to my nomadic spirit and no place has really felt like home just a place to stay for awhile

[@PearlPittUK]

Into the forest....

[@vampyalken4692]

Excellent film, on of the reasons I live and breath for Ellen Page's work.

[@lgmtk]

Just watched it. Shit is intense...amazing.

[@polarpolarpolarbag]

The movie was awesome,i really tried not to cry.

[@PearlPittUK]

I agree with all...

[@NormalConcepts]

Do you also know the song near the ending of the movie? the classical song (played when their dad died and at the end) have been searching for hours and hours. Probably composed by Max Richter but cant find it ANYWHERE. HALP!

[@RRisBackBitcheZz]

It's amazing how it touches your soul ...

[@chrisross3807]

I was determined to find the voice singing 'Wild is the Wind' which closed 'The First Monday of May' at the NY Met. China: Through the Looking Glass. If the designers of those magnificent gowns did not create Art then what is Art? Cat Power singing 'Wild is the Wind' was a perfect choice to close the Show. Thanks to the ABC for broadcasting 'The First Monday of May'!

[@teressacooks7928]

I first heard it while watching the movie too and IMMEDIATELY searched it. Didn't realize so many great artist had covered it, but I still prefer Cat's version.

[@trinarahman6371]

Same! It played during a tribute to Mr. Alexander McQueen.

[@yvonnetwynstra554]

How could anyone, not love this song,.... Way better... you are awesome... Best love song,... Ever

[@velivas1]

You touch me, I hear the sound of mandolins You kiss me With your kiss my life begins You're spring to me, all things to me Don't you know you're life, itself..

[@mader348]

Creatures of the wind....say no more

[@robertbell5099]

same. amazing song. makes me remember my mum and brother that I lost. Rip

[@nataliapizzatti8390]

Robert Bell lo lamento mucho. fuerza y fé

[@teressacooks7928]

The First Monday in May brought me here. Love Cat's version...dreamy and hauntingly beautiful.

[@TheMusicisart7]

As soon as she began to sing I began to cry. This is... just so beautiful.

[@A_Pa-Plainjane]

simply lovely, not exactly light and breezy, but definitely goes to a deep place that probably we all have, if we look inside of our longing to really connect to another.

[@MrsSuperaki]

THIS SONG IS MAGICAL!WHEN I LISTEN TO THIS I CAN CRY BUT I CAN'T STOP!I LOVE IT

[@evabrown1492]

The montage from First Monday of May of the "China Through the Looking Glass" MET exhibition and this song together still gives me chills.. beautifully produced and the shots only enhance the haunting beauty of this song, wonderful. Reminds me why I first got interested in production.

[@adameleliott1777]

I will be forever grateful to The First Monday of May for introducing me to this song. I used to be a graduate student at the time and now I’ve achieved to be a curator myself. I don’t think I can really explain with words how much this movie sequence and song have been influential to me, how they created an absolute ideal of beauty, professionalism, nostalgia tied together.

[@trinarahman6371]

That's where I first heard of this masterpiece, I believe it was in tribute to Mr. McQueen. Rest in Peace.

[@eden20111]

Into the Forest brought me here!!

[@eveholmes6197]

I sing this song sometimes in my shows. Love it and also have the DVD movie. Movie has Johnny Matthias singing.

[@ReasonableForseeability]

The MATHIS version is actually the original. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJbHlmZpq9Sor8U

[@ChatNoirSP]

amazing rendition, so heartbroken and vulnerable

[@VannahxIris]

This sog is so short....yet when you listen to it goes on forever.

[@TheWitchofCoos]

I recall first listening to a different version of this. It was cat power but it was slightly faster and was played on an acoustic guitar. It sounded more improvised/live(ly). I liked it more than this but don't think I'll ever hear it again.

[@danielmartine1157]

As a current resident of Memphis, I've met Chan. She's so utterly talented and lives in another world, really. But there is no denying her transcendent talent. This version of this great song is neck and neck with Nina Simone's for me. I could die listening to either reading.

[@metrostationluffer]

My favorite version

Don't forget! 🥰💗

[@sarahmentel9554]

No one can ever forget Nina!

[@ianwoodward4993]

The closest thing in soul terms to the Nina Simon Version even better than the David Bowie and George Michael versions. I first came across this song in the early 60s when I bought the Nina Simone live album. One of the all-time greats.

[@ORSAL100]

Une Très Beau Morceau tiré de l' Album "Myra Lee" que j'ai écouté 100 fois peut être et chanté par la Très Belle Chan Marshall (auteur& compositeur de "Myra Lee" !!! Superbe vidéo de cette chanteuse - pianiste maintenant très connue....Un vrai Bonheur!!!! Jacques de Nîmes-France

[@elainenascimento4073]

This was first sung by Jonnhy Mathis, not Nina Simone. Personally, I'm hooked on this version... Cat's, that is.

Blow your minds listen to Billy Mackenzie's version

[@rogerm1343]

Crushing indescribably magnificent

[@CampbellsShutup]

Reminds me of my first girlfriend. We fight constantly and she says how much she hates me. I just want to her to understand my depression and how it affects my decisions in life.
