Marianne Faithfull - Working Class Hero - live

[@George_D777]

Wow, I'd no idea Marianne Faithful covered this Lennon classic. It's perfect for her. Her voice is bittersweet, genuinely expressive of a tortured, ethereal soul. Rare, visceral, beautiful. The accompaniment compliments her voice and the song rather well. Hers easily compares to the original, perhaps even surpasses it.

Surpasses. She made this song her own. She did that a lot.

[@j.c.b6473]

Perfect. Talent. Smarts. And the most beautiful woman god ever created.

Her voice does Justice to this song

[@joshrn5750]

This is such a beautiful live performance of this iconic song. Isn't her voice perfect for it?

So true. Love her voice and she does this song well

Wow what a voice, what a cover. She is a goddass.

Better than the original version!

[@OujiDarkmatter]

oh my,it must've been during this or earlier period I saw her,Fernando Saunders on bass and I forget who else.She looked fabulous but Garth Hudson definately wasn't at that show,thanks for the memory anyway

[@leafnlore2712]

This song was meant for Marianne to sing.

[@morriganravenchild6613]

An emotionally charged version that only Marianne could deliver - masterful; perhaps the only song that the ultimate cynic Lennon wrote that's worthwhile.

[@emm352]

Wow

[@Mooseman327]

Well, it's one of his very best.

[@George_D777]

I guess I can see where you're coming from, though fwiw I think Lennon's very best work came out while solo. This is one of the very best during that period, one among many imo. Harrisson, too, by far, did his best work post-Beatles.

[@huwpowell8969]

Yes!

Garth Hudson......nice

[@JoMcMullen56]

A somber record to begin with but, Faithful only deepens the mood in Britain's post war years. A depressing period for the working class of the land, a bleak landscape of poverty and a daily grind of futility. A Schopenhauerian philosophy put to music.

[@The5thGen]

Garth!

[@tombradley7796]

@@JohnSmith-uw1ur There's nothing more powerful than the original with Johns voice and a dry Martin D-28. It's not a competition.

I'm glad that she didn't become a nun and so is Mick Jagger!

As soon as you're born they make you feel smallBy giving you no time instead of it all Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all A working class hero is something to be A working class hero is something to be They hurt you at home and they hit you at school They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules A working class hero is something to be A working class hero is something to be When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years Then they expect you to pick a careerWhen you can't really function you're so full of fearA working class hero is something to beA working class hero is something to beKeep you doped with religion and sex and TVAnd you think you're so clever and class less and freeBut you're still fucking peasants as far as I can seeA working class hero is something to beA working class hero is something to beThere's room at the top they are telling you stillBut first you must learn how to smile as you killIf you want to be like the folks on the hillA working class hero is something to beA working class hero is something to beIf you want to be a hero well just follow meIf you want to be a hero well just follow me

[@jackd1582]

*we're

[@George_D777]

She left out the very last verse about "following" too, but changing you to _us_ ("they're telling you still), and to _we_ (re still being peasants) are the 2 small yet great lyrical changes she made to Lennon's original. @@jackd1582
