I prefer the Rufus Wainwright version myself, but I've only heard two other versions, so I can't have a favorite yet. But yes, fantastic song. Much love. *loves this song a great deal* *hearts*
On a slightly side-ish note, I'm going to call the Queen Attolia; I've really been trying to reconcile "Irene" in my head, but I almost feel like I'm intruding on something personal.
*joins the club* It's just...she's Attolia. Possibly my least favorite scene in QoA was when Eddis said her name. Just those few lines, but they completely threw off the mystique that was Attolia. I couldn't really even consider the fact that she had a name until Eugenides called it out in the KoA scene where she faints--and then, like Costis *who hasn't been huggled enough in the past few days!! huggles Costis*, I was able to accept it. But I myself would not dare to call her by her name. :-)
