Ballad of the Runaway Horse

The inspiration for covering this song came from my Facebook activity feed.  Someone posed the question: “What is your most romantic song of all time?”…

This song was my reply.  To this very day, I found that listening to the Jennifer Warnes version (this song was originally written by Leonard Cohen and then modified by EmmyLou Harris), it would still make me choke up and bring a tear to my eye.  Yeah, yeah.  Sappy stuff…

By covering it in my ukulele style, I hope I did it a little justice.  Many thanks to those who pitched in on my previous blog and posted pictures to be used for the background.  Left to my own choices, I found I was using far too many half-naked cowgirls in seductive poses.  This is a romantic song, but I was turning it into soft porn.

Is this a song about a woman and a horse or is the horse a man?  If the question above about the most romantic song of all time appeared in your stream, what would you answer?

    Yay! Bravo Joko! LOL Again……..love your blogs. You just seem to have so much fun making these videos. I don’t have a most romantic song at the top of my head, but my favorite porn song is Freak Me by Silk. 😛 The man I see sang it to me on our third date while we were driving around on a hot summer night. It was sort of romantic…lol

    I don’t do horse porn. And my computer won’t let me stream your video without multiple interruptions. But I’ve got to go with another Cohen song, Suzanne, as the most romantic ever. Followed closely by Joni Mitchell’s “I could drink a case of you”.
