Do you really think it would work with a man singing it? Not sure here. What makes the song so effectively sad is that the woman who's singing (the character, if you will) wants true love but men only use her for sex. I'm afraid it would have an unintentional comic effect if a man sang those lyrics, claiming women were only after him for his body

Don H. could re-work the lyrics to express the boredom and disillusionment of a playboy. JD Souther could teach a master's course on the subject, no doubt.

You're right. I listened to it while at work, so my concentration was elsewhere. I tend to listen to music first and lyrics second, and didn't notice the gendered message of the song. See username for explanation.

I do think that Don's voice and phrasing would suit the melody, but am now fully aware of the challenge of the lyrics.

Having carefully read the lyrics and thought about it for a minute or so, I think it could work but as a gay themed song. Just a few slightly tweaked lyrics to make that obvious, e.g. change the ambiguous 'someone' to 'a man' or similar, and I think it could work. I suspect that Don H. would be comfortable enough in himself to sing against type. (Assuming he's fully straight - I know he has a wife but don't personally try to find out too many personal details about musicians.)

The Rita Coolidge (1977) version of the Jackie Wilson song 'Higher and Higher" (...Your Love Is Lifting Me Higher...). The song was on the radio, and I was thinking about the parallel between this cover version's expression of the words to the song lyric and the title of Gram Parsons' album "Grievous Angel."

I've always liked Rita Coolidge's version. Catchy bassline.

I'm listening to Peter Frampton songs from his time in Humble Pie.

Was sitting on my deck finally reading my Eagles Rolling Stone & listening to all of the Eagles records on my phone but a thunderstorm just popped up so I am inside waiting it out.
I was putting off reading RS because that really meant the Eagles were really, really over.

Currently listening to Neil Young's Harvest Moon album (the song I'm listening to at this moment is From Hank To Hendrix).
