Man! They just don’t write ‘em like that, anymore.
I teach music, privately, and sight reading is a large part of my lesson plan. This means after we study, I put a random sheet in front of the student and they have to perform it, without the benefit of practice. And every so often, I see a young student just stop and stare at a piece of music and I see the words and or melody sink home into their soul.
This is one of those songs.
Believe it or not, Bob Dylan songs move people, too. Powerful poetry.

Another one is "Unchained Melody," especially the version sung by Bobby Hatfield in 1965.

Unchained
