Bette Midler's 'Waterfalls' Cover Will Send You Quietly Unto Death

Hell yeah, Midler. Cue up those extremely soft bongos, put me in a nightgown, scatter my body with lilies and send me to the river to die.

This track comes off Midler’s upcoming covers album and it is the aural equivalent of the art direction in What Dreams May Come. Don’t bother waiting for the Left Eye verse, it’s obviously not going to happen. Close your eyes instead. Today’s gonna be gentle. Let Calgon take you away.
